Roused in the middle of the night, I found the Almighty standing at the foot of my bed. "God, is it really you?" I cried out. "Yes, my beloved child, it is." Thrilled, I asked God if I could ask him a question. He divinely waved at me to go ahead. I asked, "God, is Indra yet another movie thick with factionism, one-upmanship, gore, pyrotechnics, emotions and terra firma conflicts...?" To which God beamingly answered, "Of course not, my child. Indra is a movie thick with factionism, one-upmanship, gore, pyrotechnics, emotions, and an all-new-Jala-Yagna... Uh oh! Definitely not terra firma conflicts!"
And so ladies and gentlemen, here I am with the most recent Chiru-starrer, complete with Benaras and Jala-Yagnas... Indra! Hip Hip Hooray!
And so ladies and gentlemen, here I am with the most recent Chiru-starrer, complete with Benaras and Jala-Yagnas... Indra! Hip Hip Hooray!
Indra begins with the depiction of some gruesome communal-annihilations between Indra and Sivareddy's factions. Indra (do I need say who it is?) - Indra Sena Reddy - is a peace-loving factionist (tongue-in-cheek, ain't it?). Plainly, he is one guy who does not have to raise the roof to get his point across - all he has to do is raise an eyebrow.
One fine day, Indra notices that there is dire need for rains in seema, and right away begins the Jala-Yagna. Without more ado it begins raining, and then there is this ghanana-ghanana-ghana sequence and a song flicked from Lagaan. After that, in the best interest of the people of Rayalaseema and for the construction of a reservoir, he forfeits his whole property and hits the road to Kasi. What remains is why and how he returns to seema, and how he establishes peace through war.
Chiranjeevi, the yesteryear dancing dude, is back into his elements with this movie. We must say it's very hard not to notice Chiru's brand new dance-dude avatar. The chances of someone not enjoying Sonali in Indra are analogous to her waistline... slim or none. The casting of Aarti Agarwal as the like of Neelambari in Narasimha is a bit hard to digest, though.
The Paruchuri Brothers do their usual gig by packing a lot of meanness and menace into sentences of just 10 syllables. Unexpectedly, the quality of music and background score from Mani Sharma is mediocre, which turns out to be one of the stumbling blocks for the movie.
The glaring downside of the movie is its done-to-death factionist theme. And we guess that by boarding the faction-flick bandwagon, Chiranjeevi must have validated the Theory Of Morphic Resonance like never before (Theory Of Morphic Resonance, also known as The Law Of The Thousandth Monkey: When the thousandth monkey in a tribe begins to behave in a certain way, suddenly entire unrelated tribes all over the monkey kingdom begin to spontaneously adopt that behavior pattern.). The second downside of the movie is the inconsistency echoed in Chiranjeevi's character, which keeps wavering between those of a bloodthirsty murderer and a peace-loving philathropist.
Indra, with "supreme" dances and a rough-n-ready performance by Chiru, is a Chiru fan's dream come true. At the same time, with its downsides and clichéd storyline, it is almost bound to fall short of an average cinegoer's expectations. All in all, it presents two distinct images: a sumptuous cinematic treat for Chiru fans, and a clichéd tale of communal-annihilation for the unfortunate rest. So, which finger are you choosing?

This is what Vishnu Reddy has to say of Indra:
Indra is a good movie. This is not only for mass but also for class, youth, and ladies. The plus points in the movie are Chiru's dances, good dialogues, kaasi

Dear Good_Bad_Ugly:
We delete posts that all have been made by the same individual - if any person makes more than one post, we usually delete all of them. As for your earlier post, it was about fans taking over the site's user postings, and since we had deleted all the posts made by same persons and thereby addressed your concern, we deleted your post too since it was irrelevant any more.
fullhyd.com is run on certain policies, the foremost of which is being ethical. We are _never_ biased towards or against anything (except against users who use foul language or show poor class in their postings). Tens of thousands of people come here because they know we say it like it is. We are strictly neutral.
At a higher level, fullhyd.com is a city portal, not a movie site. We provide information about the city through superior quality technology that makes it easy to search for various resources in town, we help people get in touch with each other through our discussion boards, we help people across the world find friends in this city, we help people find jobs in town, we help them look for apartments to stay in, we help them buy and sell used bikes and textbooks, we help them plan their weekends through our coverage of local events, and we in general help Hyderabadis stay in touch with each other for free through the Net. Movie write-ups are just one of the things we do as part of our entertainment coverage.
Affiliations to actors? That would amount to giving these reviews a larger than appropriate stature - like we said, they are just one of several things on fullhyd.com. fullhyd.com is, right, a city portal. And we have more integrity than that.
Lastly, what makes anyone think we'd compromise on our ethics for some actor? Why is an actor more important than
