Sainikudu - Hit or Miss ??

SAINIKUDU ( Soldier ).

The movie which created lot of expectations among the film buffs - not to admire Trisha - but to see how Mr. Gunashekar - the director of the film shown his technical brilliance while making this film. His earlier attempts with the same hero Mahesh Babu turned out to be huge blockbusters, be it Okkadu - Gilli in tamil - Arjun - which is gonna dubbed in tamil soon - everything was technically strong movies with good story lines.

Blah Blah Blah. That is history. What is Sainikudu up to ?

To our vijay - who gonna watch the film soon or later, dont worry I wont reveal the story here just because there is no such one in the movie.

Lights off.

Reel 1 - start 00:00 min

The movie starts with the usual hype. If you like to know - they titled Mahesh Babu as SUPER STAR in this movie.

Visual effects - Audio Engineer - DTS Mixer - Special effects coordinator - Stunts - Photography - Direction.

The credits page highlighting only these areas - making you sit straight promising it would be a technical feast.

Mahesh babu is getting up from the water with all the instruments in the world trying to sound through the speakers. Later we realise it's not just water, it's only water everywhere - flood - Mahesh babu and his friends is helping people, children out of the flood like Soldiers ( name justification )

> Well fitting intro to the hero, and the scene is handled well for the next 10 mins, huge sets filled with water, camera angles, underwater shots, the digital quality ( read the whole film is shot with an expensive super 35 mm digital camera ) make you WOW.

> Start the meejik ( Go Go Go Athigo ), nicely crafted sets, eye catching choreography, nice dance movements, foots tapping, u feel like dancing, the song is over. soembody ask for Repeat. Declined.

> Hero is not happy how the politician ( ofcourse villain ) handled the crisis aftermath. The relief operations only end up in more calamities. He dare to question him infront of public.

> After the usual mirattals of villain, to make the villain life worse, Hero emotionally vote his friend ( M.COM TOPPER ) for the coming election infront of the public. ( scenes copy and paste from Aayutha Ezuthu )

when we are tensed looking for the heroine intro, here she comes in the right time with a solo song ( sogasa chooda ). She is pretty asusual. (he..he..) Now with happy face, everybody is eager what would happen next.

> Villain put some false case on Hero and his friends and send him to Jail.

> Villain is getting ready for marriage in the meantime, he is dressed up in his bridegroom dress and waiting for the bride in the manai. the bride comes, It's Trisha. (I am telling to Subbu, my telugu friend - summa solla koodaathu, nalla thaandaa padam edukureenga.)

> In the mean time Hero escaped from Jail because of villain himself. ( villain is planning for something else which backfired due to hero's astuteness. )

> Because the hero escaped, the villain is shit scared and the marriage is taking place amidst very very tight security. But you are not a moron not to know that hero would enter anyway. He attend the marriage and abducts the heroine.

( ethukudaa daa kalyaana ponna thookuneenga ? padam per sinthubaath aanu naan ticket la check panren, apove light aa sanini kudu nu theriyuthu enaku... )

che che Gunashekar apdi ellam seiya maatar, ethavathu irukum...

> Hero took villain's Heroine to a think jungle (kosuru seithi.. it's a jungle where naxals nadamaatam is there )

> Villain in the bridegroom dress chase the hero and end up in the same jungle with heaps of police as well.

> Hero odraar odraar odinde irukaar kaatla with heroine. (kalyaanam thaan katikitu odipolaama nu ketta trisha ithula kalyaanam katika mudiyaama koodave odinde irukaa)

> You remember I told the director is a guy who is very sound in technical aspects. He keeps a thrill sequence in the middle of the jungle where mahesh babu's leg is struck in a wood bridge which is hanging in 1 KM distance from the villain and co and 500 metres height. Villain saw the pair through his binocular on the bridge and ask trisha to run away leaving mahesh babu behind. Trisha is running, the villain ask his mates to throw bombs at the bridge. ( remember 1 KM distance ). They proved Einsteins law of projectile wrong by throwing bombs accurately. The bridge started to crumble from one side. Mahesh babu's leg is struck, the bridge crumbling before his eyes, he gotta do something. when the wood piece which is holding his foot crumble, at that nano second mahesh babu free up his foot and start running ahead. His foot is running and nanos to nano second the wood piece where his foot landed crumbles. He runs the whole bridge in this way. Ooh, Aah, Whistles everywhere. at the end of the race he catch up trisha and the running continues..

(dei ethukudaa kalyaana ponna thookuneenga, atha solli tholainga daa mudala )


> Ivanga odrarthu paarthu romba moochu vaangi mudiyaama naan konjam coke kudikuren, the duo suddenly stopped. the villain team arrived too and in touching distance. whats happening ? Everybody in the theatre focus the screen, Hero cant run anymore, he reached a mine bomb field. ( remember naxals forest, connection achieved ) hero out of focus and we could see the bombs mined for the next 100 metres. After a brief pause, they started running again in the field with such care.

(athaane paarthen, odurarthu enge niruthitaangalo nu )

> But during the hopping trisha oru bomb a mithichitaa, Hero alekaa thookify trisha in one hand and get hold of a rope which is hanging from nowhere and passes the rest of the mine field with all the mines going off behind them. the duo crossed the mine field. apaada trisha ku onnum aagala...

> apdinu ninaichi mudikarthukulle villain oru bomb mela kaala vachitaan..
( endaa ipadi, kaasu kuduthu padam paarka vanthathu oru periya kuthamaa )

> but our hero is kind hearted - that he punctures a water tank with sharp axe throwing skills and sink the whole area with water. pataasu ellam buuss aayiduthaa nu naama ethirpaarkum bothu, buus ellam illai vedikum but vedichaa thanni thaane thelikum intha logic padi villain naiyum save panitaar Hero.


> Reel 7 - End of 90 mins
