A Classic Entertainer

Story - Two twin brothers are separated in their childhood and they come across each other after some 25 years. What happens then, forms the story. Oh by the way, both have love interests and a common villain too..!!

Performances - Nagarjuna once again proves his versatility. Be it, the petty thief, "Deva" or the rockstar, "Ravi Varma", Nagarjuna did a fabulous job. Nagarjuna gets two contrasting characters and he excels in both. He's showed a lot of variations in both the characters. Mass comedies are not new for Nagarjuna, but what makes this different from others is the concept of "twins and the reflexes between them". You have to watch the film to know, what I mean by the word "Reflexes". Among others, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Brahmanandam, Mallikarjuna Rao, Babu Mohan, Giri Babu get major share and they excel in their roles. Ali's role is very nice, though only lasts for a couple of scenes. Heroines don't contribute significantly to the plot. Napolean as the baddie, did very well.

Music - Music by Raj-Koti is superb. "Kanne Pettaro", "Priya Ragale" are still popular. Background score is very nice.

Other Technical Departments - Cinematography and Editing are fine. Art work is nice.

Dialogues - Dialogues by L.B.Sriram are very good. He oozed comedy in most of the dialogues. The Godavari-accent dialogues written for Nagarjuna are superb.

Story, Screenplay & Direction - Story is taken from Hong Kong comedy, "Twin Dragons" starring Jackie Chan and modified according to Telugu nativity. Direction is good. E.V.V.Satyanarayana made sure that there is ample humor in most of the scenes. His screenplay is interesting. There are totally 3 pairs in this movie, 3 leads and 1 sidekick to each of them. Nagarjuna-Brahmanandam, Kota Srinivasa Rao-Mallikarjuna Rao, Giribabu-Babu Mohan are the pairs and the comedy is nicely generated within the pairs. It is a nice approach for comedy movies.

Final Piece - First half is good and the second half is equally nice. The only minus points are few double meaning dialogues (only few) and pre-climax scenes. Apart from these minus points, the film is a full laugh riot. There is a lot of comedy in the movie due to which it has a terrific repeat value. You can watch it 'N' number of times, without getting bored. Superb Entertainer.

Review of movie Hello brother

Hello brother is a comedy action thriller movie with high production values. Director EEV Satyanarayana being known for his spontaneity dialogues and humour taken the movie to next levels. The male lead Akkineni Nagarjuna is a back bone of the movie with his action, timing in humour, fights, and dialogue diction earned the movie to receive huge positive response. This movie helped Nagarjuna to reach another level in his progress to achieve a superstar status in tollywood film industry. Female leads Ramya krishna and Soundarya are upto high in their roles and helped Nagarjuna to generate good chemistry and best at the romantic sequences. Comedians Bramhanadam was very good and had a great timing in humour with Nagarjuna. and the remaining ones Kota Srinivasrao, Mallikarjuna rao, Gribabu, Sarath babu, Sri Hari, Babu Mohan, Ali are in their peeks with their caharacterizations. The villain Nepoleon Duraisamy had given his best and well supported by Rajanala one of the famous villains of all time in tollywood. Finally the movie is a blockbuster and listed in all time great hits in tollywood movies.
