Break For ‘Khaleja’ Collections

After a lot of tug and war, ‘Khaleja’ managed to reach on the specified date but despite that, the talk has been quite mixed and divided. However, the good side is that main part of the collection centres is reporting steady collections so far. But now, it depends on the outcome of ‘Brindaavanam’

The market analysts say that if ‘Brindavanam’ is good then the collections of ‘Khaleja’ will surely dip and similarly, if ‘Brindavanam’ turns out to be a below average fare then ‘Khaleja’ has got a strong chance to pull the crowds at the last minute and get to a hit mark.

So, it has finally boiled down to what will be the fate of Mahesh and that too clinging on the outcome of NTR jr’s film. This could possibly become a break in collections from the film. from our end, we hope that both films continue without a hitch and make their own money.

Khaleja Movie Review

Director : Trivikram Srinivas
Cast : Mahesh Babu, Anushka, Prakash Raj, Rao Rao Ramesh, Shafi, Ali, Sunil, Brahmanandam, Tanikella Bharani.

Story:

Meanwhile, in a small village of AP, there is Siddappa (shafi) who sets out on a mission to find the one man who is equivalent to god and who can save his village from sure death. After meeting Raju, he realizes that Raju is the man for the cause. And then, there is the powerful businessman GK (prakashraj) who wants to marry his son to Subhashini and has his eye on Siddappa’s village. How are all the dots connected forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:
The director has come up with an ordinary storyline but then it was his presentation and narrative that made the difference. The dialogues were good at many places, the script was alright and the screenplay was above average. Background score was good and three songs were excellent. Cinematography was top notch. Editing was neat. Costumes were fabulous and the art department was apt. Mahesh Babu was a total transformation from his regular image and he has scored the brownie points. Anushka from her end added to the glamour and romance part. Prakashraj was brief but good. Rao Ramesh was excellent, Shafi was very good, Ali and Sunil gave the light moments, Brahmi gave his own share of comedy. Raghu Babu was funny, Subbaraju could have been given some more length in his role, Veda was brief. The others contributed in their own way.

Conclusion:
Given the fact that it was Mahesh’s comeback film, the expectations were very high. While the first half was quite normal and never really revealed the plot, all the flaws got covered up during the second half. The real assets to the film were Mahesh Babu’s performance and the technical values. This is not much of a content driven film and it is more of a rich presentation that works. At the box office, this will be an above average grosser and if word of mouth works then it will become a big hit.

Verdict: Average.

Mahesh Babu's 'Fate' In Few Hours

Mahesh Babu’s fate is going to be decided in a few hours. And that is not just with his film career and stardom quotient and also his commercial endorsements. Let us see in detail…

Mahesh Babu’s stardom is still continuing with his ‘Pokiri’. Although a debacle in the form of Sainikudu and Athidhi hit him under the belt, the stardom is still considerably good. But if  Khaleja turns down, his fate will be upside down. He is coming up after 3 years on to the screen and obviously the stardom quotient will be decided only with this.

If the film hits ok…otherwise, the companies those already signed and those are willing to sign contracts with him will go away from him. It is obvious that no branded company wishes to cobrand itself with flop heroes.

So it is about to be revealed soon…whether the fans enjoy coke after watching ‘Khaleja’ or apply Aruthanjan and Navrathan Oil. Well, Coke, Navarathan Oil and Amruthanjan are the brands endorsed by Mahesh Babu now.
