Stay tuned for the review........we ll be the first to post it..........
Tagline: Baladoor - mama idi oka pedda family drama
Strengths: Ravi Teja
Weaknesses: Routine story and slow second half
Must see scenes:
1. Ravi Reja entry shot where he jumps from top of a car
2. Temple fight and market fight
3. Super star Krishna fight in the climax
Must avoid scenes: Nothing much
My analysis: Baladoor movie is a decent family entertainer but with a routine story line. One big family, one useless kid (hero) who is nice at heart. The whole family misunderstands him and he is pushed out of the house. But this good hero saves the entire family from different difficult situations but always is behind the scenes. The family realises his good deeds in the climax and the hero rejoins the family. We as audience have seen lot many telugu movies in the past with the same story line.
This weak and routine story line and a dragging second half makes this Baladoor just a watchable movie. The story writer should have taken care of the script and the screenplay in the second half should have been done better by the director to make it a better movie.
Uday Shankar who earlier directed Kalisundam Raa for Suresh Productions is still in the same mood of family stories. How could he think that a superhit story 8 years back can re-create the same magic and success again??? He could have worked more on the script part and changed it according to the new-age cinema audience.
Performances: Ravi Teja is the saving life of the movie. He has done his routine care free action in the first half and a little serious mixed with mass action in the second half.
Superstar Krishna does the role of peddanana to Ravi Teja. It is very nice to see Krishna in such kind of decent and nice role. He did his performance with ease and elan. The best part in Krishna’s action is the action sequence in the climax where he hits 10 goons at a time and proves himself once again as Superstar.
Anushka is good as heroine. She has lost the unnecessary fat in this movie which she developed for Don movie. Anushka’s role is just restricted to the songs. She showed all her glamour in the songs.
…..Anushka vacchindante then song vachindannamata…..
Chandra Mohan as Ravi Teja’s father, Pradeep Rawat and Subbaraju as villans are good and adequate in their roles.
Brahmanandam and Sunil created the much necessary comedy in the movie which was good.
Fights are well picturized in the movie and showed Ravi Teja’s powerful emotions in the movie.
Songs are average. Music by Radha Krishna is also average. No song can make any impression on audience except for the last song. The good part in songs is that they are all shot in good locations and sets. Another asset for the songs is Anushka.
Screenplay and direction by Uday Shankar is just average. He selected a routine and old story line and tried to give a new look to it in which he miserably failed. The story lost tempo in the second half and also he added more emotion in it because of which the audience will feel little bored.
Story: Chanti (Ravi Teja) is a care-free family member in Ramakrishna (Superstar Krishna) joint family who does nothing but kicking baddies. Chandramohan who is the father of Chanti sends him out of the house. Bhanumathi (Anushka) who is a student falls in love with this Baladoor for his good deeds. Chanti who comes out of the house saves his family members from all the problems created by Pradeep Rawat and his brother-in-law Subbaraju.
In the climax, Ramakrishna and his entire family comes to know about all the good deeds of Chanti from a well-wisher and brings him back to the house along with his lady love Bhanumathi.
Cast: Ravi Teja, Anushka, Superstar Krishna, Chandra Mohan, Brahmanandam, Pradeep Rawat, LB Sriram, Sunil, Subba Raju, Parachuri Venkateswara Rao and many more.

Final Judgement: Average
Mega opening of SINGH IS KINNG means that Akshay Kumar’s next big release, CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA, has got trade even more excited. What also contributes a lot to excitement around the film is its title which yet again promises to showcase the real life saga of Akshay Kumar after an all-around Punjabi show in SINGH IS KINNG.
Yet another big film which revolves entirely around the character played by Akshay Kumar who makes an eventful journey from the by lanes of Chandni Chowk to the forbidden land of China, CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA is expected to arrive in the month of December. Also starring Deepika Padukone in a double role (who would have seen her BACHNA AE HASEENO released by that time), the film is directed by Nikhil Advani.
Says a trade insider, ”Even though Nikhil didn’t quite have a great outing with SALAAM-E-ISHQ, we must remember that he is the same man who made KAL HO NA HO. With CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA, he has changed genre yet again and opted for an action comedy entertainer. Moreover Akshay’s name is good enough to excite an audience.”
If that was the case, why wasn’t TASHAN a success?
”Yes, TASHAN was an exception but if one looks closely, even Akshay was guarded during the film’s promotion. He is a smart man and probably knew which way the film was headed for. That’s the reason there wasn’t much hue and cry even though he was the best part about the film. Also, one must remember that YASH RAJ FILMS traditionally do not go for a publicity overdrive whereas Vipul Shah made sure that SINGH IS KINNG was the talk of the town. Akshay chipped in a big way as well to the film’s promotional plan and as everyone can see, history has been made”, says the insider wisely.
So what can one expect from CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA?
”It is as simple as that; if you find Akshay talking about the film through all avenues possible and genuinely promoting it in a big way, be rest assured that he is excited about the film”, he comments, ”Akshay knows that he is a huge brand and there is a responsibility which comes with his spoken words. Audiences dote on him and he will never want to hurt them by talking big about a poor product. In any case, CHANDNI CHOWK is a well made film and that’s the very reason why trade is mighty excited about it.”
Shot in a major way at some exotic locations in China, the film is a co-production of Mukesh Talreja and Rohan Sippy. The film also stars Mithun Chakraborty in a principal role with Ranvir Shorey in the role of ‘Chopstick’. Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy have composed the music for a Nikhil Advani film yet again after KAL HO NA HO and SALAAM E ISHQ.
