Magadheera Blu-ray Review [Credit to Sandeep]


Magadheera, a contemporary masterpiece film from Telugu-speaking India

I don't understand what's going on with the Telugu-speaking Indian film industry - how in the hell did they pull off the creation of MAGADHEERA? I'm confused...

MAGADHEERA is a phenomenal piece of Indian entertainment. This 165-minute romantic action movie masala film is just perfect. It's not a great film, but it is a perfect Bollywood or Tollywood or Indian Hollywood film. MAGADHEERA can practically be paired up with JODHAA AKBAR (India's most recent Bollywood masterpiece) in which that film is a very serious historical epic filmed like a Ridley Scott film, while MAGADHEERA is a historical/contemporary action masala epic filmed like a James Cameron film (True Lies mode).

MAGADHEERA is a bit like a cross between PRINCE OF PERSIA, Darren Aronofsky's THE FOUNTAIN and Zach Snyder's 300. It's a reincarnation story for 4 characters - the hero, the girl, the villain, and a dictator. They all had died 400 years ago but they come back into the present time to finish unfinished business with love, revenge, and the gods. Since this is a Bollywood film, the story is very simple and the characters are pretty 2-dimensional but we all know that's how Bollywood films are. Furthermore, this is a long movie that moves along fast with not one piece of filler.

What's even more amazing is that this film is perfectly filmed. Where did they find all this Indian crew to make such a professionally filmed and edited film? It's totally shocking. This is right up there as one of the best filmed Bollywood movies. Concerning the action scenes, these have the best choreographed action scenes out of any Bollywood film yet - everything is smooth and doesn't seem wire-worky. The action choreography in this film was done by Bollywood's action master - Peter Hein. This is his best work to date.

MAGADHEERA is full of action scenes that also are very original. There are a few which may have been inspired by 300, but overall, this movie is not stealing or borrowing from any other movie - it's a true original work. The fight scenes are well-filmed and the actors seem like they knew what they were doing. The action is full-blown R-rated - with blood, decapitations, body parts getting chopped off, etc. It's just great! And the CGI special effects are excellent - probably the best I've seen in Bollywood.

T & A, yes there is! What I like about Tamil and Telugu films is that they don't praise flat-chested actresses as they do in Hollywood and Hindi-speaking Bollywood. Big breasted actresses are in this film. Period. Let me give you an example. There's a musical number in which the Megan Fox (or Carmen Elektra) of Telugu cinema runs in boob-jiggling slo-mo and also does some anime-style boob thrust which turns the dudes to stone. Let's see Medusa do that! Great stuff.

The acting is good in this film as well - all very theatrical and Bollywoodish, but good for what it is. The main actor - Ram Charan Teja - is like the Colin Farrell of India, a totally convincing tough and likable Indian actor (almost as good as Hrithik Roshan). He is a truly good leading man in India, especially when all the other ones in Bollywood are flamboyant tools. The main actress - Kajal Agarwal - is like the Blake Lively of India. And the spear-throwing master villain is pretty scary, creepy, and tough.

I would also like to add that the musical numbers and musical score is excellent and intense as well.

This blu-ray by SRI BALAJI VIDEO is one of the best blu-rays i've ever seen. The video quality is excellent and has a crisp three-dimensionality to it. The Dolby Digital 5.1 Uncompressed Telugu audio is very nice and active as well. The English subtitles have some mistakes here and there, but overall generally better than most Bollywood movies released on DVD. There are no extras on the blu-ray, if you want the extras badly then you can buy the $8 DVD which only has a 40-minute non-English subtitled Making of the Film. I would also like to add that the Sri Balaji logo pops up in the bottom right corner during song scenes, but if you are used to Bollywood movies on DVD, you know the drill - it's not a big deal, but it would be nice if that tradition stopped already.

MAGADHEERA is the first great film of India of 2010. It's total escapism and I didn't want it to end. The simple but creative Indian mythological story, beautiful cinematography, amazing choreographed scenes, impressive special effects, and good-looking actors make this a perfect Indian film to be showcased on Blu-ray.

That's the idea..or they are just brainless bunch of idiots.
I dont see the issue coming up with full slipcase instead 3 1/4.

Some great tracks in this flick though..

Of course, but for the whopping amount charged for a single disc, i dont see anything stopping the distributing companies to have full slipcase.
Utter utter stingy!

The issue with bollywood blu-rays is that, they sometimes have no clue whether to make a slipcase for a selected titles or just leave it as it is.
Like Jodha Akbar, Ghajini, Dil Chahta Hai, Sarkar Raj, ( [hopefully KKKG] has full slipcase) , has been presented in slipcase.

I feel that its unnecessary to come up with slipcase for these titles. Instead, just design a better cover art, so that they dont have compromise on spending on slipcases.

Perh, bro..big time U2 fan eh? Any metal , grunge , rock concerts you have on BD?
