Panjaa (2011)

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Admirable film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Finally watched Panjaa (Telugu) staring Pawan Kalyan & Sarah Jane Dias !!! Overall rating 3/5 !!!Positive Points of the movie :Cinematography ,Direction, Stunt and Action Sequences ,Locations for the movie ,done in West Bengal and parts of South India !, Music is the key factor for elevating the movie's collection, well shot locations for the songs ! The main theme song Panjaa has been changed in the DVD as the Introduction song which lot of people complained for seeing the song in the Theater being played after the movie finished ! now they have changed the song's position as the Intro song !!!Power Star Pawan kalyan has done justice to his role and played it very well !! Then the Bad guys meaning the Villains were the second best part of the movie as they were really evil !!! Other cast including Jackie Shroff and Munna played by Adivi Sesh were the most powerful characters in the movie, loved the Australia accent that Sesh did !!! He was so bad in the movie, felt like killing him all the time, as he was a Drug addict !!! Tanikella Bharani was at his best playing the sneaky and sly fellow who will do anything for money !!!Comedy was one of the best parts of the movie, Brahmanandam and Ali have done there comedy very well and Subaraju as a supporting actor suited him very well than his villain roles !!!Negative Points of the movie:StoryKey part, WHERE IS THE GOD-DAMN STORY !!!?!!! the 1st part of the movie looked like a slide show, as each and every character appeared from Oblivion and just got mashed up in the story, though it was explained clearly in the 2nd half, preferred the 1st half to the 2nd half of the movie as it was interesting to watch !!! Cast, esp the Actresses played by Sarah Jane Dias and Anjali Lavania respectfully !Didn't like their roles , one was a club dancer (A.L) and the other was a Green Peace activist and Biochemist ! Doesn't make sense how a hit-man like Jai (Pawan kalyan ) comes to know them, one is like his sister but flirts with him always and the other was a friend and then a lover ?!!! WHat !?!!! Seriously ?!!! Lol !!! Pawan Kalyan's dance in the theme song was really funny and his comedy with Ali was exaggerated !! Generally the movie is extremely Sad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every person close to Power Star Pawan Kalyan gets killed in some or other way , what a miserable story ?!!! Probably if it wasn't so Sad , the movie would have been a bigger hit !!! Totally Different from the way the director Vishnu Vardhan would take a movie !!!OverallAnyways it is still a different and stylish movie to see, and it in no way is like Balu (2005) Telugu movie of Pawan Kalyan !!! Different type of movie , truly a trend-setter of the Tollywood Industry !!

One time watcher, not a great entertainer. PK with good look, Paparayudu song is the highlight for the movie. Heroine is beautiful, three songs are good.Direction is pale(dull) not a Telugu content movie. Over all one time.watcher, bad thing is movie is much like PK's Balu which is :( Director did not use Ali for good comedy and even Jackie Sharooj was not shown in a ferocious/great role it is just very same as the villain role in Balu and same back drop.One time watcher, not a great entertainer.

Guys, Watched movie today in Sydney... Spell bound.. What an art work.. Excellent taking... Completely different way of narrating story.. good screenplay .. would have been racy in some scenes but thats OK.. And of course Superb performance by Pawan Kalyan... Excelled in all departments .. Settled comedy , Emotional scenes , Action sequences and especially Dance... Paparayudu and Title tracks will be an eye feast... See any al pachino's movies or Cult classic Hollywood movies .. you will respect panja...I have appreciate Vishnu's taking and Pawan's brave decision in accepting this kind of script... This is not a regular formula based movie ... You can take songs picturization as best example to differentiate.. I don't think anyone in the Tollywood till now dared to have songs also just a part of scene or story.. there are no full songs except 2.. every song is well placed.. I know people are disappointed with title track after climax.. but actually that's a good Decision.. if the song is placed as intro then movie would have started on high pitch and that won't work... This movie is a good start for tollywood to produce efficient movies and just forget about bullshit regular commercial movies....In One word Technical Brilliance.....

More often we see this kind of story always...blah blah blahMovie is based on a single line"Never make the mistake of expecting help from the person you helped and not helping the person from whom you got the help"It is the struggle of the guy to choose between the savior and his love which has been portrayed greatly This is the story of a guy who was helped by a normal person who turned as a big don in the later years.Pawan kalyan enacted the role called JAI.He is just like the shadow of DON(Character played by Jackie Shroff).What ever the DON says Jai does it.... JAI's character has value for humans...Ater the death of his mother and sister no one really treated him with love.All he got is materialistic love.Jai has two friends played by Anjali Lavaniya and ALI. Jahnavi(Anjali lavaniya) has crush on Jai,But he never thought of her in that way since they grew together as orphans.Even though he got friends he needs some one to care about him.One day he finds SANDHYA(Sarah Jane Dias). Here comes the intro of the sadistic son of the don, his name is MUNNA He really made us to hate him on screen through his behaviorMovie has Betrayals,twists at the right time.. Why the battle started between the DON and his shadow must be seen in the movieFighting sequences are one of the best highlights for the movie Picturisation of the songs are indeed fab. Especially ELA ELA and Veyyira cheyyi veyyira. Cinematography by P.S.Vinod is like the ones you have never seen in a TELUGU CINEMA.Director vishnuvardhan really managed to maintain the tempo. A little drop in second half broke the tempo of the 1st half. But put back into the movie with action sequences in the 2nd half Brahmanandam comedy is good it did not sidetracked the story...Lastly, It is the movie with style,and PAWAN KALYAN
