Director: Anudeep KV
Rating: 3
It s difficult for Tollywood to appreciate Jathi Ratnalu fully. It s because, in a significant way, the film mocks Telugu cinema. It s an unapologetic satire that has its lead man (Naveen Polishetty) deliver a hilarious monologue during a court scene, a segment that makes it clear that writer-director Anudeep KV, supported by producer Nag Ashwin (the director of the breakout biopic Mahanati), doesn t mind taking satire to the doorsteps of the cliches-obsessed film industry. The backdrop of the film could have been a film studio and the comedy would have worked just fine - the way Shah Rukh Khan s Om Shanti Om did.
Agent Athreya Director’s ‘Mishan’ Look Published by GulteDesk December 12, 2020
Among the small films of 2019, ‘Agent Sai Srinivas Athreya’ is probably the best one. Even though it was an investigative thriller, the sensible humour in the film was a big highlight. The film was directed by Swaroop RSJ and this talented director’s next film was announced a short while ago.
Titled ‘Mishan Impossible’ the film was formally launched and the first look is also unveiled. Well it has to be ‘Mission Impossible’ but second ‘S’ followed by ‘I’ and ‘O’ are replaced making it ‘Mishan’ which adds a suspense element.
