Panjaa: Pawan's Power! Content Sour!!

Amidst the waiting eyes of thousands of fans, Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's much hyped flick PANJAA has hit screens today. First day first show of the flick left fans with a bitter note, as per industry sources.

Generally, Pawan Kalyan is the one actor to watch out for his histrionics and mannerisms in any type of scenes. All of his flicks after KHUSHI are sinking at the BO only due to the poor content, but not Pawan's energy and style. Rather than concentrating on content, the director once again went 'too much' on the style part of Powerstar.

Though the style, visualization and first half provided an awesome entertainment for the audiences, second half is the culprit. The film became a regular 'popcorn' movie over a period of time though there were some peaks in the movie. The film commands good money in terms of trade, but will not be a milestone movie in the book of Powerstar.

He meets Bhagwan(Jackie Shroff), who gives him support and also a gun to survive, and also names him as ‘Jaidev’.

Now Jai grows up with vengeance in his heart and uses the gun given to him and builds a mafia empire in kolkatta.

He becomes a rugged mafia leader his gang has war with kulkarni (atul kulkarni) gang.

In his action packed life, enters Sandhya (Sarah Jane Dias) and Jai gets attracted towards her.

Despite having a target in his mind and leading a risky lifestyle, jai couldn’t help himself from falling in love with sandhya.

Jai gets trapped into a murder committed by munna (Adivi Sesh), who is Bhagwan(Jackie Shroff)’s son.

Munna kills Jhanvi(Anjali Lavania), who refuses his advances and later gets killed in Jai’s hands.

To escape from bhagwan’s men, Jai re-enters his villageleaves kolkatta and meets sandhya in her village.

There he meets local police, Paparayudu(Brahmanandam), who has very bad reputation in the village.

How jaidev changes paparayudu’s image and uses him to finish off village’s villain sambasivudu and how bhagwan’s men trace him down forms the pre-climax.

They kidnap sandhya and Jai returns to kolkatta to release her.

How he faces kulkarni and bhagwan gangs alone is the climax.

Actors : Pawan Kalyan excelled both as mafia leader and lover.

His rugged full beard look, body language, dialogue delivery are impressive.

Especially in few scenes where his voice is used as narrative, he excels.

It is feast for fans to see Pawan’s rocking performance.

Sarah Jane Dias tried to look cute and romantic.

Eventhough she lacks the look, she managed few good expressions, especially in songs and in few romantic shots.

Anjali Lavania has very lesser role and is more of an item girl who has only 1 song.

Jackie Shroff, Tanikella Bharani, Atul Kulkarni and Subbaraju were as usual but new villain Adivi Sesh was excellent.

He showed varied expressions as a psycho villain and seems to have good future as a versatile actor on telugu screen.

Brahmanandam takes care of the comedy part in second half and infact without him, second half would be incomplete.

Especially, Paparayudu song shot on him and pawan was hilarious and is highlight of this movie.

Pawan Kalyan’s steps in this song gets huge response from crowds.

Technicians : This is a directors movie and Vishnuvardhan excels in his work.

His ideas can be seen through excellent cinematography of PS Vinod and art work of Sunil Babu.

In all technical departments, Yuvan Shankar Raja’s background music and PS Vinod’s cinematography standout as excellent works.

Editing by Sreekar Prasad is slick.

Stunts by Shyam Kaushal are thrilling, especially the climax fight.

Abburi Ravi’s dialogues are average and he doesnt use many oppurtunities in screenplay to showcase his talent.

Rahul Koda’s screenplay is gripping, except for few minutes in the begining of second half.

Vishnuvardhan has extracted best possible output from all his technicians in this movie.

Production values of Sanghamitra Arts and Arka Media are rich.

Highlights :

Pawan Kalyan’s presence and performance.

Cinematography by P.S.Vinod

Haunting Background Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja

Interval twist

Vishnuvardhan’s stylish taking

Comedy in second half

Verdict:

Panjaa is a stylish and sleek film that will probably not be enjoyed by Pawan fans. Regular moviegoers and non Pawan Kalyan fans will find the movie to be good. There are next to no commercial elements that people come to expect from Pawan Kalyan’s movies. But on the bright side, the stylish fight sequences, the subtle comedy and Pawan’s superbly restrained performance stand out in the movie. Brahmi’s episode is good. Watch it without expectations and you might enjoy the film.

Panjaa Movie Preview

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's Panjaa which is releasing on December 9th has many highlights. Few of them are listed below.

Panjaa Highlights:

Pawan Kalyan -  A star who doesn't need any introduction. He always encouraged innovative ideas and this film will be a trend setter. Pawan sports a macho look in the film and will be seen as a calm and composed guy who operates his mission. His terrific screen prensence, settled acting, comedy timing, natural and realistic stunts, grace in his dances and the priceless smile will take the film to a next level.

Action Sequences - Shyam Kaushal, who composed fights for Hrithik Roshan's 'Krishh' has worked for Panjaa. The stunts performed by Pawan in this film will remind us of Powerstar in Kushi days.

Brahmi's Comedy & Paparayudu Song - The Paparayudu song which was sung by Pawan and Brahmi has already topped the chartbusters. The duo shared a great rapport every time they teamed up. Even though some of the films failed at the Box Office, their comedy track always rocked. As per reports, Pawan and Brahmi will keep the audience in splits with their terrific comedy timing.

Cinematography - Renowned cameraman PS Vinod will be getting a lot of appreciation for his visual brilliance in Panjaa. Every shot in the film is picture perfect.

Vishuvardhan's Stylish Taking - Vishnu is known for his stylish action entertainers and Panjaa is no exception.  He fell in love with the script and has put in his heart and soul into the making of this project.  He succeeded in giving a new look to the film and you will notice his hard work in every frame. Very energetic and extremely talented Director.

Yuvan Shankar Raja's Songs and Background Score  - The songs have already become popular and the background score which has come out really well will compliment the mood of the film. 

Producers - From the very first day, they have promoted the film with perfect planning. It's true that, no other producers who worked with Pawan Kalyan earlier has utilised the craze he has got to this extent. They have earned a good name in the industry as makers within a very shot span of time. Industry needs good producers and let's hope they produce many more films in future.

Panjaa has received the rare honour of making a place for it in US Magazine's news column even before the release.

"One of the most talked about new films from India is "Panjaa", a big-budget gangster adventure starring the hugely popular Pawan Kalyan," Michael Calleri, the reporter of The Niagara Falls wrote in his column.

What's more special about this achievement is that this Magazine has written columns about very few stars in India till date

Pawan Kalyan Shares His Thoughts About Films

Shruti Haasan joins Pawan Kalyan for Gabbar Singh shoot

Power Star Pawan Kalyan starrer Gabbar Singh has begun its new schedule in Pollachi from December 1 and now the leading lady of the film Shruti Haasan has joined the cast and crew of Gabbar Singh.  Scenes on the lead pair will be canned in this long schedule.

Director Harish Shankar informs that Shruti Haasan will be seen in a new look and he is all praises for the multifaceted beauty. Gabbar Singh is being produced by Ganesh Babu on Parameswara Arts banner. Devi Sri Prasad is zeroed in as the music director for the film and he already composed three tunes for this official remake of Salman Khan’s Dabangg. Abhimanyu Singh will reprise the role of Sonu Sood in the original. Gabbar Singh touted as a mass entertainer will release in April 2012.

Pawan Kalyan is unmatchable - Any Doubts!

The pre-release buzz of Powerstar Pawan Kalyan Panjaa has been quite positive and the business in all areas has been extrodinary exceeding even Mahesh's Dookudu. In most of the areas the distributors  have paid record prices to acquire the rights.

According to reliable sources, the producers have already filled their pockets with over Rs 50 crores (Distribution Rights, Satellite Rights and Audio Rights). The makers of Panjaa have proved that utilising the potential of a star is always a good way to make a good sum of money.

Panjaa is releasing in 1800+ theatres  worldwide which will be showing more than 7000 shows on the opening day. The trade pundits were expecting anything not less than Rs 50 crores gross in the first week, going by the track record of Pawan Kalyan who is known for thumping openings. Notably, Pawan's flop flick 'Teen Maar' has been holding the first day gross (Rs 9.5 crores) record till Dookudu came into the picture. This is a proof to show that irrespective of hits or flops, Pawan Kalyan has a strong market and his craze is truly unmatchable. Stars come and go but very few will succeed in leaving their own mark and Pawan Kalyan is one of those rare ones. Kudos to Powerstar!!

Panjaa Opening Day Records

This is a the Highest Record in Telugu Cinema History.
All theatres will have normal 4 shows but few of them will have an Extra Fans Show in the Early Mornings of this cool Winter Season. Other side of this Screening in Normal Theaters Multiplexes will have more than 5 Shows a day on Dec9th. in each screen.
This makes number of screenings on day 1 to be between 8000 – 9000.
With good response for music and positive talk so far,Producers are happy with the Business also.
