It’s been a while since I watched a Prabhas movie in a theater. Blind faith in director Karunakaran’s potential has pushed me towards the cinema hall (Viswanath 70mm, KPHB, Hyderabad). Though there were no expectations from my side, DARLING movie hardly had any great moments to cherish about.
WHAT I LIKED:
Pathos music in the background for Prabhas & friends in few of the comedy episodes (whenever something bad happens)
“Neeve Neeve…!” song and it’s picturization
Interval bang of revealing the secret about flashback episode
Idea of snow fall in Hyderabad and it’s monuments (Golconda, Buddha Statue & Charminar) with the help of Special Effects
1st fight in the market place with his mother & sister not knowing about his actions
Sentiment scene of Prabhas, Sister and Chandramohan
Episode that leads to the last song and even the song with Montage scenes is refreshing!
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKED:
Hip-hop costumes for Prabhas were not a perfect fit
Lazy performance with no improvement from hero: Prabhas
Not so catchy songs
Very week script and screen-play
Nothing novel from Karunakaran (even the intro song – it has shades of Tholiprema and Pawan Kalyan)
FINAL ANALYSIS: Along with sticking to an oldish concept and extracting ordinary performances, director KARUNAKARAN has failed to an extent in giving us a feel-good movie again! It’s time for Prabhas to work on his expressions and diction. Though DARLING is a below par movie on a whole, it might have a decent run at the box-office due to the lack of another family-entertainer during this summer holidays…!

Finally, yes finally, my favorite IPL team: DECCAN CHARGERS win a match (after 5 continuous losses) and that too against ROYAL CHALLENGERS….! Andrew Symonds‘ hard hitting FIFTY and Suman’s 70 odd runs helped the team in achieving the difficult target of 183. Though DC needed 9 runs in the final over – Symonds scored a 6 & 4 of 1st two balls to see DC through! Happy for DC after some sad outings…
Venkatesh at the Cricket Stadium
Great to see Telugu hero: VENKATESH going to Bangalore to support the Deccan Chargers team and he is clearly seen getting excited with every boundary!
దర్శకరత్న దాసరి నారాయణరావు ఈ రోజు మరలా నోరు పారేసుకుని వార్తల్లో వ్యక్తి అయ్యాడు. ఎప్పుడూ చిన్న సినిమా చిన్న సినిమా అని మొసలి కన్నీరు కార్చే దాసరి గారు ఇంకొక అడుగు ముందుకు వేసి – “ఆ మూడు, నాలుగు కుటుంబాల ఆధిపత్యం నుండి తెలుగు సినిమా పరిశ్రమని కాపాడండి” అని రోశయ్య ని వేడుకున్నాడు. ఇంతకీ ఎవరు ఆ ముగ్గురు, నలుగురు..?? ఇంకెవరు:
Four Families - Claimed by DASARI
చిరంజీవి & అల్లు అరవింద్ (నిర్మాణం, సినిమా హాళ్ళు, టీవీ, సినిమా పంపిణీ…)
అక్కినేని కుటుంబం (స్టూడియో, నిర్మాణం…)
నందమూరి కుటుంబం
రామానాయుడు కుటుంబం
సినిమా బాగోకపోతే చిరంజీవి సినిమాకి అయినా రెండో రోజు ఎవరూ రారని దాసరి అన్నాడు. అవునా?? అందరి కళ్ళు తెరిపించిన దాసరి గారికి శతకోటి వందనాలు.వంగలేనమ్మ- ఇంకేదో అందంట… అలా ఉంది దాసరి పరిస్దితి. ఒక్కటంటే ఒక్క మంచి చిన్న సినిమా తీయటం చేత కాదు కాని… డబ్బులు సంపాదిస్తున్న వారిని చూసి వోర్వలేక ఏదేదో వాగితే విలువ ఉంటుందా ??
అయినా, ఎవరైనా ఒక మంచి చిన్న సినిమా తీసి – అది ఈ నలుగురు పెద్దల వాళ్ళ ఆడకపోతే – అప్పుడు మాట్లాడితే విలువ ఉంటుంది. నిజంగా మంచి సినిమా చూసి ఎన్నాళ్ళు అయ్యిందో?
ఇంకో నలుగురిని కూడా అని ఉండొచ్చు [నిర్మాణం, పంపిణీ...]:
