'Dussasana' Review: Third Degree Torture (Worse Movie)


Film: Dussasana
Rating: 0/5
Banner:
 Laughing Lords Entertainment
Cast: Srikanth, Tashu Kaushik, Sanjjanaa, Kota, Tanikella Bharani, Krishna Bhagvan, Brahmanandam and others
Music:Srilekha
Camera: A Raja
Director: Posani Krishnamurali
Producer: Murali Krishna
Release date: 27/05/2011


Mental Krishna is back!! Yes, we are talking about Posani Krishna Murali and this time he has come up with yet another creative thought of his. Whether it was creative or crap let us see.

Story:
A man dressed like Che Guevara keeps walking in the streets and does few weird things in the name of justice. He calls himself common man (Srikanth) and despite his weird antics, the police can’t do much. In no time, the media gets their coverage on him and so does the public with their problems.
The common man becomes the messiah and he goes around slippering the ministers (Kota, Tanikella, Chalapathi Rao). Not stopping at that, he also kidnaps the Chief Minister’s daughter (Sanjjanaa) along with a news correspondent Sunitha (Tashu Kaushik).
The matter goes to the CM and enquiry about common man begins. Who is this common man? Why is he going around like a madman and why is the law not stopping him? All this forms the rest of the story.

Performances:
Srikanth has only two expressions – blank and crying. He keeps walking like a robot and when he will get mood no one knows. Given his image, it is time he realises that these are not the roles for him.
Tashu Kaushik was expressive and despite her brief screen time, she makes her presence felt. She has shown potential.
Sanjjanaa was glamorous but she is yet to improve on her acting skills. 
Kota was predictable, Tanikella was not used to his fullest, Brahmanandam was impish, Chalapathi Rao was regular, the actress doing Srikanth’s wife role was pretty. Krishna Bhagawan was okay, Kondavalasa was brief, Balayya was matured. The others didn’t have much to offer.

Highlights
  • None!!!
Drawbacks
  • Illogical storyline
  • Disgusting and intolerable emotional scenes
  • Crazy characterisation of protagonist
  • Mindless logic for sending a message
Analysis
It is an open fact that Posani is crazy and with each passing day his insanity is reaching its peak. That is once again seen in his latest flick. Picking half knowledge of law and adding his own theories to it, Posani comes up with some constipating theme much to the torture of the audience.
Some of the classic examples for his madness are - CM’s daughter giving interview to TV news channel in swim costume, Hero walking with the dead body of his wife on streets, Minister and family taking mugs and going to the roads for toilet, Minister forced to drink drainage water from tap and many more. Shameless portrayal of scenes and crass logic are Posani’s specialties. Usually if few members rape one person it is gangrape but what do you call a single person raping the entire set of audience.
There will not be a single audience who will come out of the theatre without feelings of disgust, frustration, embarrassment and torture. While the first half freaks the viewer out of his wits thanks to the portrayal of the protagonist, the second half adds more to the madness by some ‘mind blowing’ sequences. Overall, this is one film which will take tons of guts and nerves of iron to watch and come out in one piece.

Bottomline: Shocking than mental asylum, painful than third degree torture

Vikram Aiming For National Award

Though mainstream cinema and box office success is meant to be the spine for the film industry, the final glory for any actor is when they win a National Award. However, the coveted honour usually goes to those who come up with an offbeat movie or an unusual performance of character.

Right now, one actor seems to be eyeing for the priceless honour. He is none other than Vikram. Apparently, Vikram is gearing up to arrive with his new movie ‘Nanna’ and sources say he is playing the role of man with special challenges and his relationship with his daughter.

Inside talk is that Vikram has come up with a riveting performance and he would be a hot contender for a National Award next year. Vikram has teamed up with Anushka in this one who dons the role of a lawyer while Amala Paul is having a key role. After his unforgettable act in ‘Shivaputrudu’ perhaps it is time for yet another performance from the handsome hero.





Pawan Kalyan's Joker Under Sukumar Direction

Sukumar, who scored hit with the film '100 Percent Love' is now coming up with a film by placing Pawan Kalyan in the lead. The title of the film is 'Joker' and earlier it was intended to make with Allu Arjun.

The story of this film is going to be different from the routine formula films on Telugu screen but stands as greatest entertainer, say inside sources. The producer of this film is Allu Aravind.

It can be considered that Sukumar has got a bigger opportunity this time where he has to prove by making a commercial block buster with this. On the other hand Pawan fans are bit uneasy with the title ‘Joker’ but inside sources say that he is not a circus joker in the film but someone like a Joker in Cards game who possesses greater value than king!!

Dasari Failed To Lobby National Award

The veteran personality Dasari Narayana Rao may have passed his prime but many in the film circuit say he has got enough influence and clout to call the shots in important things. Incidentally, Dasari is notorious for his lobbying power during the state awards such as Nandi. However, his antics didn’t seem to have worked on the national level.

Though no one confirms, many vouch that Dasari used his sleight of hand and grabbed a Nandi award for himself recently. But this didn’t work at national level for his movie ‘Parama Veera Chakra’. One can recall how Dasari used to boast on various daises that Nandamuri Balakrishna will get National Award for best actor due to ‘PVC’.

As expected by many, those glorified statements came and went at those events only. Forget Balayya getting an award, the entire Tollywood has failed to make its presence felt even in the slightest way at the latest National Awards. Many are saying if only Dasari used his clout for the right reasons, he would have been hailed.

Chiranjeevi Can Apply Grease Paint


Despite his big statements and thigh slapping, nothing worked for Chiranjeevi during the recent canvassing in Kadapa. As such, nothing ever worked for him from the time he set foot into politics. But with the recent success of Y S Jagan, many are discussing about Chiru and his future.

A noted senior leader from the Congress camp revealed “The time has come to take a call on Chiranjeevi. Yet again, it has been shown that he is of no use to the party. Now, if by mistake, Sonia ends up giving a cabinet berth or some portfolio it will be an added loss.”

Another leader who is known for his Telangana fervour added “He can apply the greasepaint and get back to shootings. Anyhow, his body is slim and trim, instead of dabbling in politics and losing his little left prestige, he can go ahead with movies and remain an entertainer in reel life than a flop show in real life.” Wonder what Chiru has to say to this.

Well, wherever he campaigned Congress lost miserably. He canvassed in Karnataka and there he lost 3 MLA seats to BJP. In Tamil Nadu Congress lost where ever Chiru campaigned.
