What a piece of shit.
To think we braved the snow and icy roads to watch this junk.
Well, we should have known better considering it’s a Nagarjuna movie.
We’ve long considered Nagarjuna an ugly pimple on the dirty backside of Indian movies.
And the bozo proves it yet again in Kedi.
After 25 years in films, this pall bearer for Telugu films has yet to come to grips with the acting thing.
Bigger Letdown
If Nagarjuna is a disappointment in Kedi, the movie itself is a bigger letdown.
Bereft of the remotest entertaining element, Kedi is a piece of garbage completely unsuitable for human viewing.
Of all ages, by the way.
Narrated Slumdog Millionaire style with Nagarjuna in the police station recounting his implausible, boring life story in flashback to a police officer, the movie is so sophomoric that it beggars belief.
Where Slumdog Millionaire, implausible it too was, managed to hold your attention, Kedi completely bores you to death.
And the central architect of the Kedi carnage is some dickhead answering to the call of Kiran. This schmuck takes responsibility for the story, screenplay, dialog and direction.
Nagarjuna is Ramesh a.k.a. Rummy, who runs away from his home in Guntur and ends up a criminal in Goa, carrying out daring criminal jobs with a nonchalance that James Bond would find hard to emulate.
And the fights?
Hilarious. Unintentional comedy James Gaand ish-style.
Mamta Mohandas adds little value or has much to do except to give us glimpses of her 34B (??) right tit in the Neevena Neevena song, presumably filmed in Greece. If skin-show is your gateway to entertainment, there are some skimpily-clad White girls as well, like in the Janiye Janne Jana song.
Since this is a Telugu film, that pesky creature a.k.a. Brahmanandam must show up. And the baboon does that and far too frequently in our opinion.
If you ask us, Brahmanandam would be unpalatable even if he were to show up in just a single frame.
We didn’t find the music or the accompanying dancing in the least appealing.
Now, before you can say Muddante Cheda the story turns to bearded Jihadis planing mega-strikes.
Mercifully, the advent of the Jihadis also marked the beginning of the end of this stupid shit.
Kedi not only does not offer anything new to movie-goers but fails miserably even with the stale stuff.
Bottom line, Kedi is unworthy of your time or money.

I think this movie will not even get a decent initial.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
It ought not to.
Tsk, tsk, risking your life in this terrible weather and road, that too for a movie whose story (or broad outlines) you can predict from the comfort of your couch and pronounce it shit unworthy of your attention without a second thought.
You could have at least waited for Theeratha vilayattu pillai. Pretty much similar in the aspect of predictability and shittiness, but you got three girls there versus only one scrawny piece here. Which reminds me, can we expect a review from you for TVP? If not, you can always fall back on your trusty lieutenant(Me). 🙂

How soon can you get across the TVP review to us is the big question?
Theerada Vilayattu Pillai is not releasing here this week.
“How soon can you get across the review to us is the big question?”
Let’s see. I’ll try to catch a show tomorrow. Around 7-8:00 AM eastern time I’ll inform you whether i have seen and reviewed it. Fine?
Btw, I miss your tamil movie reviews as much as other SI readers here. I know I can’t match your acerbic wit, which is why I don’t try to imitate you. Hope you return from your break in time to catch soon-to-be-released movies like Vinnai thaandi varuvaaya.
@all SI readers
I am just a part-timer filling in when the regular can’t make it. I try to be as fair as i can and, at the same time,be interesting. So guys, please put up with me for a little while and be kind. This is my humble request.

1. We’ve already sent you the $17 in anticipation of your Theerada Villayatu Pillai review. Sent it before receiving this comment.
2. Will respond to your offtopic questions later via e-mail.
yeah, some of the readers were harsh on you, racer 🙁 … they are probably jealous that your getting richer everyday.
@SI – 😆 you are incorrigible.. did you get a second dose of 10″ snow on Wednesday?
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Yeah, about that much.
Started snowing late Tuesday night & continued into Wednesday.
They lifted the driving ban in our county last night, just in time for Kedi. 😉
Waiting for My Name is Khan review
SearchIndia.com Responds:
The morning shows at Regal were canceled due to non-receipt of the print.
SI : After 25 years in films, this pall bearer for Telugu films has yet to come to grips with the acting thing.
25 yrs back, I watched this guy’s first movie in theatre!!. People were making fun of him.It was hard to make out whether he was crying or laughing. It was more difficult to find out to whom he was talking !! Dialogue delivery was pathetic
God knows how this guy became a superstar 🙂 . But he has couple of good films, Shiva and Geetanjali . Both were big block busters in those days. Shiva was directed by RGV and Geetanjali was directed by Mani Ratnam!!

The right genes….he won the lottery of being Akkineni Nageswara Rao’s son.
Racer44 reviewing Theerada Villayatu Pillai for SI. Again.
Racer44 you were too kind to Ajith and team. How much time did you spend writing the review? I have to say, your review was pretty good – excellent writing.
It just lacked the SI punch. Looking forward to a more harsh and more funny review this time. All the best machi. Will check back soon for your review.
SI,
How much time do you spend writing a review?

As far as we can tell, Theerada Villayatu Pillai is not releasing in the U.S. this weekend.
2. You write: How much time do you spend writing a review?
Depends on the movie, how tired we are after the drive (your energy level after a 220-km stressful drive alongside 18-wheelers on I-95 or NJTP is just not the same) et al.
saw this today ………decent script ………but a drag ……….fell asleep for around 10 to 15 minutes while watching the movie ……….
this movie would have done better with a tighter screenplay ……..

You’d have missed little even if you’d dozed off for 100 minutes. This is a Nagarjuna film, after all. 😉
