Dum Maro Dum - Movie Review

Saw the Movie, Dum Maro Dum yesterday Second Show @ Ramakrishna Theatre. Booked Tickets on NoMoreQueque.com (Online) - fortunately we got Top Row Middle Ceats, but theatre management gave us tickets for Top 2nd Row Middle Ceats. Again being the middle ceats there was an A/c. Problem, we were in a A/c. not reachable position, but there was a big fan as an alternative - which is making huge noice, so we switched it off for the first half and managed somehow. But immediately switched on this sounding machine as soon as we had an interval break for about 15 mins).

So my dear friends, do not book middle rows (balcony) in Ramakrishna Theatre from now on....Coming to the movie review...

With a huge Star Cast including Abhishek Bachchan, RaNa Daggupati, Aditya Pancholi, Bipasha Basu, Prateik Babbar, Deepika Padukone & Vidya Balan (in guest roles) and others, Director: Rohan Sippy teaming up with Music Director: Pritam Chakraborty, Journalist turned Screen Writer (National Award Winner): Shridhar Raghavan, Multi-talented Cinematographer (from RGV's School): Amit Roy, Art Director: Shazia Zahid Iqbal & Editor: Aarif Sheikh, has done a wonderful job.

Starting with the story/script, theme of the movie, involvement of star cast, superb photography, great music, on the top direction by Rohan Sippy! The team work which helped Dum Maro Dum to become one of the best movies in the recent times.

After a long time, Abhishek Bachan has got a powerful characterization (ACP - Vishnu Kamath) in this movie which he 100% utilized and added one more noted roles in his career. RaNa Daggupati in his very 2nd movie (debut in bollywood) proved once again with his tremendous acting skills in the role of DJ Joki in DMD. While Prateik was perfect apt to Lorry's character (a Goa Student), one can surely feel Bipasha Basu as Zoe a native Goa girl. Overall all the star cast in the movie are completely involved and made their presence.

All the technicians have done amazing job with the support of great production values that are clearly seen on screen. DMD is definitely a Trend Setting Thriller, with a kind of screenplay and dialogues in it! My Rating for Dum Maro Dum is 3.75/5.

Leader DVD! Released.....

About 125 days back this movie released and is still creating sensation! Lucky, now we have its DVD (most awaited 4) - Because, Leader is such a movie that everyone should watch!

What a Script-Screenplay-Dialogues-Direction-Performances (of every actor)! Leader movie is definitely a Technical Brilliance.

Open Secret of the Success:

Harsha Vardhan - Will win Nandi Award, if he really wants... I mean he deserves it.

Subba Raju - Already proved, but in Leader his acting skills are simply amazing.

Suhasini - She is my all time favourite heroines - "Nuvvu Leader Avvalanukunnanu Kaani, Oka Politician Kaadhu" - Key Dialogue of the Movie with full of emotion.

Thanikella Bharini - One can see what is called perfection - "Dhorakaru Sir!"

Both the Heroines (Priya Anand & Richa Gangopadhyay) exceeded (my) expectations...

Kota Srinivasa Rao, Rao Ramesh, including other junior artists were toooo good for their roles.

Must Say about Veturi Sundararama Murthy Garu, his Lyrics:

Ye Shakuni AaDani Joodham..
Bathuke O Chadarangam..
Idi Aarani Raavana Kaashtam..
Chithilone Seemantham..
Idhi Manchiki Vanchana Shilpam..
Ika Aagani Samaramlo..
Ee Neram Ika Dooram..
Idhi Maa Taram..


Vandemaataram Vandemaataram Vandemaataram..
Vandemaataram Vandemaataram Vandemaataram..

Migilina Dikkuga Nilichina Naa Thallikai..
Pagilina Ningiloo Nilavani Dhruva Taarakai..
Raajyaalele Ee Dabbu Hodha..
Kaale Jwaalanu Nenai..
Jeevana Yagnam Saaginchaga..
Vacche Aapada Vicche Poopodha..
NaDipisthaa Kada..
Vandemaataram Vandemaataram Vandemaataram..
Vandemaataram Vandemaataram Vandemaataram..


Each Dialogue is like a powerful punch in this movie...

Gollapoodi Maruthi Rao: "Aa Gandhi Dialogue Cheppavu Choodu - Ekkado Thagilindhayya....." what a thought!

Raajakeeyam Ante Konadam, Ammudu Povadam!

Single Point Agenda.... Avineethi Nirmoolana!

Ivaala nijayiteega pani cheyyadamantene tyagam cheyadamey...

Evaru Sharma Gaaru Nannu Choosi Navvedhi?

Confiscation of Dis-Proportionate Assets and Prosecuting them in Special Courts immediately!

Ee Roju Tharvaatha Jeevithamlo Nannu Nenu Kshaminchukolenu.....

Nammakam Ledhu Sir....
Bussulo Velthaam Naluguroo Vuntaaru....(Superb Scene and Wonderful Lines - Hats Off to U, Sekhar)

Oka Aadapillaki Nyaayam Cheyaleni CM Vunte Yentha Voodhithey Yentha Sharma Gaaru?

Dabbu Theesukokunda Votesey Dhammu Meekundhaaa??


Music by Mickey Meyer is Mind Blowing!

For Sure, we can see a Leader in "Leader Movie" that is none other than Sekhar Kammula through RaNA. Coz, as a Hero it is his first one, but till date many heros (with morethan 30 years industry) have never selected such a wonderful charater and did justice!

Hats Off to U - RaNa (Not only just for selecting this character, but also fulfilling your responsibilty with 100 percent).

Sekhar Kammula - Rank 1 - among Tollywood Directors (for this year - as on date)
