Oh, whip me please. Harder, harder.
If you are the whip-me, please whip me kind that loves to fork out $12 and get a stinging flagellation in return then this Ek Niranjan vile trash is for you.
Sick Shit
Folks, Ek Niranjan is so much worse than we feared.
Who let Ek Niranjan director Puri Jagganadh on the film sets, we want to know. Besides direction, this clown takes credit for the story, screenplay and dialogs.
Thank God our understanding of Telugu is limited. Think how much more damage these schmucks would have inflicted on our tender soul.
The story, if you dare call this mind numbing trash that, is about a young bounty hunter Chotu (Prabhas) who’s been kidnapped as a child by a local ruffian from his real parents and put to work initially as a beggar.
As a bounty hunter, our Chotu is now the scourge of criminals given his penchant for bashing up the baddies and hauling them off to the police station for modest payments.
Chotu’s work as a bounty hunter brings him on a collision course with a cartoon of a villain called Johnny Bhai (Sonu Sood) given to shooting his underlings when they tell him he’s the biggest villain in town or mouthing off silly sentences in English.
Bollywood babe Kangana Ranaut plays the female lead Sameera.
A guitar teacher, Sameera is also the sister of one of the baddies in Johnny Bhai’s gang.
Not much of an actress and most definitely not much of a looker, how Kangana managed a role in this film is a mystery.
Is Tollywood so starved of talent that they have to rummage through Bollywood’s castoffs and rejects.
The unforgiving, frustrated youngsters behind us in the movie hall kept up an unflattering refrain, referring to Kangana as Dayyam (devil) and Rakta Pisachi (bloody ogress) after the villains smashed her face into a bloody mess.
Prabhas doesn’t have much to do except to pummel the bad guys in weird stunts and slip handcuffs on their hands. Although Prabhas didn’t cover himself with glory, mercifully he inflicted the least damage.
The action/fight scenes are the usual crude shit that you see in Tamil or Telugu movies.
Awful Comedy
The comedy angle featuring Brahmanandam as the astrologer is beyond nonsense.
With no connection to the main theme, the scenes involving the astrologer, his seductive wife and the other Tantrik are hellishly ugly and utterly devoid of anything even remotely aesthetic.
Disgusting.
Musik?
We didn’t think much of Ek Niranjan’s music either.
The most ridiculous song is Gundello, filmed in Switzerland with Prabhas, Kangana and a bunch of white hooded Halloween clowns (or was it the Ku Klux Klan).
The so-called Michael Jackson tribute is really an insult to the King of Pop.
Ugly as hell. The poor man would be turning in his Los Angeles grave.
Skip This Trash
How bizarre can it be to shell out moolah and get a stinging migraine at the end of the show.
If you thought the first two hours was bad, director Puri Jagganadh without a flicker of remorse compounds our misery by taking the movie into positively disgusting territory for the last 20 minutes or so (filmed in Bangkok) with moronic fight scenes and needless violence involving smashing the heroine’s face to a bloody pulp.
Here in the U.S., the audience was quite disengaged with the movie.
Folks were playing with their cell phones, frequently walking out or passing snide remarks about the movie.
Guys, if you have any sense at all show these Ek Niranjan buffoons the middle finger.
Ek Niranjan is not worth your time or money because it’s Ek Dum Garbage.

Now,that’s 4th Flop in a row for Puri Jagannath!
Wonder,what made the producer bring back the combo (Prabhas-Puri Jagannadh) which delivered a Flop previously (Bujjigadu-Made in Chennai)? :O 😀
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. You write: Now,that’s 4th Flop in a row for Puri Jagannath!
No, no. In Incredible India, a super-shit movie can easily turn into a superhit movie at the box office. 🙁
2. That Brahmanandam comedy track is as bad as our Vadivelu tracks in Tamil films. Sick.
After this supoosedly nauseating stuff, you need a diet of “bheja fry, usal paav, baida curry aur ek zinda rice, shorba maarke”.
I dont expect you to understand that, unless you watch Rangeela (1995), which is a very enjoyable movie.
Please watch and review Rangeela.
I regard it as one of those “before you kick the bucket …” movies of Bollywood.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Hey, we found Rangeela on Netflix today. They have it under the title Bollywood Dreams.
We’ll try to watch/review it on Saturday.
@SI: “That Brahmandam comedy track is as bad as our Vadivelu tracks in Tamil films. Sick.”
Brahmanandam (not Brahmandam) comedy tracks are infact worse than that of Vadivelus.
Unbearable in every movie I have seen.
He is holding Guiness record for acting in maximum movies of a single language or something like that. Sick.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. It’s Guinness (with a double ‘n’). 😉
2. Fixed the Brahmanandam typo. Thanks.
3. The inclusion of Vadivelu or Brahmanandam comedy tracks in movie after movie is a reflection of what a lot of South Indians want in their movies.
At some point, you have to assume that producers are making a rational decision vis-a-vis Brahmanandam or Vadivelu since movies are commercial ventures at the end of the day.
so,when u watching london dreams?
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Depends since Aladin is also releasing tomorrow.
Ha ha ha, as if anyone believes that.
Why would we even want to see Aladdin, given that non-actor, Terror Tourist Riteish Deshmukh is in it.
I thought Rangeela was good in patches.
I don’t think it is going to come up to SI’s ‘stratospheric standards’.
Also, it has SI’s not-so-favorite U. Matondkar with her not-that-graceful dance moves in it.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. Urmila Matondkar had the nymphet’s appeal in Rangeela (going by that Yaire song we saw on YouTube).
2. You write: it has SI’s not-so-favorite U. Matondkar with her not-that-graceful dance moves in it.
Hey, when a gal lifts her legs this high, who gives a f*ck about ‘graceful dance’ moves.
We’re pondering other moves. 😉
Not to worry. Telugu people are gradually increasing their standards.
First, they rejected Eenadu(Unnaipol … in Tamil). Then both Ganesh and Jayeebhava have become duds. Now, Ek Niranjan has received negative response from the people. We have to wait and see with no big movies releasing until Aarya 2.

From your lips to Telugu peoples’ ears.

Got Arya DVD from Netflix yesterday. Will watch it today.
Prabhas belongs to the not great – not bad kind in acting.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
We agree.
We also thought he looked a bit like a younger version of Tamil film star Ajith.
Another strange movie choice from the beloved SI team.
Not planning to watch the MJ documentary? Can MJ posthumously pull out a Heath Ledger trick from his crotch? There is discussion that this may win “Best Film” or “Best Director” Oscar.. a la Obama?
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Been busy with other things.
We’ll surely go to the cash it while the body’s still warm documentary one of these days.
are you gonna review Kanden Kadhalai (remake of Jab We Met starring Bharat and Tamanna)?
And how about the overly-hyped London Dreams??
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. No, we do not plan to watch or review Kanden Kadhalai.
Who gives a shit for those little twits Bharat and Tamanna.
In a million years, Bharat can’t match up to Shahid Kapoor.
Mercifully, Kanden Kadhalai does not appear to be releasing on the East Coast.
We’ve seen Jab We Met. Liked the song Yeh Ishq Hai, which seems to be inspired by Anggun’s Etre Una Femme.
2. London Dreams?
To anyone contemplating seeing this movie, we say please first read London Dreams is Crap, Say Indian Movie Critics
Iruvar review ?
SearchIndia.com Responds:
This weekend.
Good to see tht u have started reviewing telugu films.
IMO, telugu industry is good in giving only commercial cinema, they don’t try any offbeat attempt stories .
COLORFULL COSTUMES, HIGH PITCH SONGS AND UNIMAGINABLE STUNTS ARE VERY COMMON IN TELUGU FILMS.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. You write: telugu industry is good in giving only commercial cinema
Not true.
Didn’t Shankarabharanam, Swathi Mutyam, Sagara Sangamam et al first come in Telugu?
2. You write: COLORFULL COSTUMES, HIGH PITCH SONGS AND UNIMAGINABLE STUNTS ARE VERY COMMON IN TELUGU FILMS.
You mean color-fool costumes, banshee wails and outlandish stunts, right?
@SI: Didn’t Shankarabharanam, Swathi Mutyam, Sagara Sangamam et al first come in Telugu?
You can add K B’s Marocharithra also to the above list.
If you do not wish to repeat your “Oh, whip me please. Harder, harder” after watching a Telugu film, you can choose to watch old classics like the ones above.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
From the list above, we’ve watched Sagara Sangamam’s Tamil spawn Salangai Oli (featuring the beautifuuuul Jayapradha and Kamal Haasan).
Hello, Who ever reviewed this movie.. some corrections..
Agreed — Comedy track is bad and not needed for movie
Disagreed — It is one of the mindless comedy movie if you know the telugu language better…
Dont put much of brains to watch movies, puri movies are meant for laughs than for brains…
If you want movies for your brains, watch discovery channel better…
I think recession made your HASYA GRANDHULU drained…
SearchIndia.com Responds:

Baboi, ippudu artham-ayindhi (Ah, now we understand).
By your logic, Telugu movies are made by brainless twits for brainless twits.
Avunu kada, Hanumanthu (right, na).
Just found out that Shreya ghoshal has won a national award for yeh ishq hai-jab we met…
She’s an awesome singer but this is definitely a sad day for national film awards !!

We’ve said often that awards in India have no meaning.
