Ala Vaikuntapurramlo

There are few movies that I have admired in all aspects (that are not manirathnam's that is!).. but recently this Telugu movie made that list of timeless movies in my book.. Below I will explain why..

a) Allu Arjun - Of course, he carries everyone of his movies single handedly on his shoulders... (just like a Rajini and SRK does).. and he does the same in this movie.. fluidly changing expressions, insane dance moves and dialogues that are pure mass.. the movie is watchable again and again for allu arjun alone - Allu, I am your eternal fan girl ;) 

b) BGM score - The movie has dark scenes, emotional scenes, romantic scenes, fight scenes and funny scenes.. the music adds to all of this by telling its own story.. One of the few movies not by ilayaraja (think Mudal Mariyathai) where the BGM tells its own story!

c) Fight scenes - There are a couple of fight scenes in this movie that are more artistic than testosterone driven.. The one with the scarf getting washed - I don't think I have seen another fight scene on repeat in the last decade!!

d) The female boss - Let's be honest, I just love the idea of a female boss falling in love with a male secretary (Proposal is one of my all time favorite movies). This movie has the same vibe with the hero calling the heroine "Madam" and getting liberally punched as he slowly but surely makes the her fall hard for him. 

e) Casting - I loved the casting in this movie! The dad, mom, ARK, grandfather even the police guy.. they were all amazing! 

Hats off to Trivikram Srinivas from giving us a funny, moving, romantic, mass movie that really shines!!!
