Meanwhile Munna kills Jahnvi as she rejects him and in turn Jai kills him and becomes the target of Bhagawan. The rest of the story is to be watched on the big-screens.
Conclusion :-
Pawan Kalyan carried of the whole film on his capable shoulders. His screen presence works like wonders. Pawan Kalyan looked handsome in his distinct rugged look which is apt for the role. He gave his 100% for the role entertaining the audiences with his action, dance, comedy and romance.
Sarah Jane Dias, the former Miss India lacks good looks but she carried of the role in an impressive way.  The modern look suited her best than the traditional half saree look.
Anjali Lavania looked hot and she delivered her best with scintillating moves in the item number Veyyi ra.. However, she has a very limited role.
Adivi Sesh is a revelation. He is mind blowing in his negative role, Brahmanandam is good, Ali is wasted, Jackie Shroff and Atul Kulkarni were fine, Jhansi, Subbaraju Thanikella Bharani did their bit as required.
The technical aspects of Panjaa are lavish and good. Cinematography by PS Vinod is scintillating and keeps you interested; Abburi Ravi’s dialogues are not up to the mark except a few punch liners, Editing could have been better in the second half, Yuvan Shankar Raja’s music is mesmerizing with Ela Ela standing out while the Background score is elevating. Vishnuvardhan’s direction is good especially the action scenes are dealt well but then it’s the shoddy written script that is a let down. The production values are lavish.
Panjaa has a known yet interesting storyline and the presentation was stylish with each frame looking lavish but the narration was weak. A story of such scripts needs to be racy keeping you edge of the seats but this is where Panjaa falters. Panjaa is good on its technical front but the content was strictly mediocre. Vishnuvardhan could have concentrated on the content rather than much on the stylish taking. Screenplay was weak and the movie moves at a slow pace with dragged moments. The interval part was the best scene and the pace again picks up only in the end. Paparaydu song is one of the highlights and would be a treat to all fans. The film lacks commercial elements which are expected by Pawan Kalyam’s fans. With the big names involved with the project, the expectations on Panjaa were quite high but, it failed to meet up to the expectations. Panjaa is not a range of what Pawan Kalyan’s fans are expecting from long time and at the same time it’s not a bad film either.
At the Box-Office, Panjaa will open to record collections due to Pawan Kalyan’s crowd pulling factors while its survival at the Box-Office will be questionable.

Final Verdict :-
Threat for Pawan Kalyan Fans and Class, Might Not For Mass .

Rajanna Movie Review

Rajanna review: An honest, beautiful film

easymovies Rating 4/5

By easymovies-india.com

Set in a village called Nelakondapalli in Adilabad district in early 1950`s, the film tells the story of Mallamma (Annie) and her father Rajanna (Nagarjuna), a freedom fighter. After the death of her father and mother (Sneha), a villager brings up Mallamma. Her only passion is singing. But the village chieftain wants the little nightingale killed. She is saved by her music teacher (Nasser). He advises her to go to Delhi to meet Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and get help to free the village from the Nizam rule. She sets out for Delhi on bare foot and as soon as she reaches Nehru, the men from her village kidnap her. She is locked up in a room along with her music teacher. He tells her the story of Rajanna, her father, a revolutionary who taught the villagers to fight against the atrocities. Rajanna portrays the story of the girl. The movie revolves around her personal freedom to live without fears and a revolutionary`s struggle to bring freedom to his village. Without doubt, Rajanna is one of the best movies to come out in Tollywood in the recent times. Songs are part of Telangana`s culture. Director Vijayendra Prasad uses songs to narrate the story. The beauty in the script lies in making the girl a singer and Rajanna a balladeer. Music genius M M Keeravani has put in his best for this movie and lifted many scenes with his impeccable recording. On the down the side, the movie`s pace goes down in the second half. The song in the climax is poorly scripted and executed. There are also some factual errors like the songs of Mayabazar (1957) being played on radio when the movie is set much before its release. Annie gets more footage and she steals the show. She scores full marks for expressions and accent. You empathise with her and also feel sympathy for her plight. She gives an award- winning performance. Nagarjuna is terrific in the song - `Veyyi Veyyi`. In some patriotic scenes, he is good but his character could have had more depth to bring out the feel and fervor. Among other actors, Sneha as Lacchamma is apt. Swetha Menon as the villainous Dorasani fits the bill but her costumes are in no way related to Telangana culture. Sammeta Gandhi brings the authenticity to his character. Nasser as the music teacher is okay. Supreeth, Pradeep Rawath and Sravan as Nag`s friends are good. The film`s soul is its music and M M Keeravani lives up to his name and fame by giving one of the best musical scores in Telugu cinema. The film`s musical score ranks among his best. Visuals are topnotch. The film has rich production values. Editing by Kotagiri is perfect. S S Rajamouli`s style and his touch are clearly visible in action episodes and in the song of `Veyyi Veyyi`. Production designer (art) S Ravinder`s set is authentic and succeeds in recreating the bygone era. Vijayendra Prasad should be applauded for the script, screenplay is very interesting. It was a great move from Nagarjuna to be part of a commercial movie in which he does not appear for almost an hour and back the film by producing it. Rarely do we get to see an honest, beautiful film like Rajanna. It is an emotional film with a heart-touching script. With terrific performance from Annie, topnotch musical score by music genius M M Keeravani, rich production values, the movie is one of the best to come out from Tollywood in the recent times. Go for it, for its honesty and genuine effort.
