As the title suggests Katha-Screenplay-Darsakathvam, the film fails on all these three grounds. The details about film industry are extremely exaggerated and over the top. Anyone with a common sense will laugh at the way TV reporter was shown shying away to ask a heroine a question. Varma perhaps doesn't know that TV channels don't invite film critics to review movies live on air. The scenes where Sunil and Raghubabu argue in autos and infront of ice-cream parlour makes one cringe. The climax of the film is the nail in the coffin and doesn't make sense to the story.Besides a child like chasing scene is sure to give your patience a serious test. Firstly not a single frame in this movie looks like RGV's movie. The cinematography of this film is pathetic. The comedy scenes are yawn inducingly boring and cranky. -Actors Swati, Kallu Chidambaram, Kovai Sarala, Jayaprakash Reddy, Kota Srinivasa Rao had hardly anything to do in the film
Only few stances you can feel good to be in the theater. Some of them are ... The song criticising the directors of Telugu cinema was well choreographed. The pictures used, costumes and masks of actors are well timed. Dialogues making fun of Ramgopal Varma's Shiva and his other films made audience smile for Varma's jokes on himself.Bramhanandam's dialogues and the lyrics of songs he pens are overtly funny. For instance 'Ringu Road Kada Ranganayaki... Bongulanti Ninnu Choosi Prema Dilki' makes the audience laugh out loud.There are other Lol moments in Bramhy's dialogues. He says 'Kanti Tho Chooste Order...Kannu Tho Chooste Murder'.The lyrics of all the songs in this film are situational are whistle worthy for their catchy words.Swati sang the song 'Unbelievable this is Raju' and Bramhy sang his song ' Naa Peru Srisailam' which were shot on themselves and hence the emotion was perfect on their faces. KSD-Appalraju is extremely hyped and overrated film and Dont go to this Movie with expectations about RGV comedy but its just an another Average comedy flick.
KSD Appalraju is one of the most artistic movies to hit the Telugu screens. For those who were able to understand and appreciate the depth of this film, had the time of their life watching it.
I haven't even seen Hollywood comedy movies with the screenplay standards of Appalraju. The best way to explain this film is in the words of RGV - "One person's tragedy is comedy for another person - and vice-versa".
Beautiful composition and outstanding direction. I loved the movie :)
