Saleem Movie Review [Telugu]

I have dedicated one day of my Xmas vacation just for Saleem in searching for the movie link, watching it and writing the review. I would like to thank YVS Chowdary for giving me such an opportunity which I could write my longest review. I wish only next movie of YVS could break this record. Here you go !


The movie starts with a Title Logo "Saleem" with namaz background music.
Immediately, hero makes a mass intro as if he is falling from the sky while Ilena keep counging 1, 2, 3..
MASS Introduction !!

Ilena who returns from foreign country to India utters a dialogue after getting into the car, "Appudapudu life lo thrill unte ne interesting ga untundhi".
Guess what the THRILL is? The immediate car accident? NO !
The unexpected Hero MASS introduction.. Vishnu sitting on a rock with a Rocking pose redefines the word, "BALUPU" literally by trying to imitate his father's dialogue delivery, but fails miserably.

By spreading the dust into the surroudings (dhummu lepi), hero finishes his intro fight and proposes Ilena.

Finally hero manages to enter heroin's house by impressing their parents. Mass hero gets a class impression.



After few hilarious comedies inside their house mixed with a bit of Romance; Vishnu babu takes Ilena to the villain to "prove" his Manliness.
Finally Ileana accepts his Manliness and takes off the "Puli Goru" from the villain and gives it to Vishnu saying, "Magaadivi, ippudu idhi nee meda lo undaali".
Wow !! What a MAN !

But Vishnu is doing all this not only to prove his Manliness, but he also has some other story behind his acts.

YVS Chowdary has used a different concept screenplay in the movie Saleem. On the other side, madhya lo phaaren nunchi kontha mandhi vasthaaru, kaani vallu evaru anedhi manaki cheppakunda suspense maintain chesaadu.

Everything goes according to what Vishnu has planned. Heroin's father decides to give his daughter to to "assffalu fsifsalaina mogaadu" (asalu sisalaina mogaadu).
Then appudu gudi lo oka fight.. By chasing the speed of the bullet in order to save heroin's father, Vishnu again proves that he is a perfect MAN !
In the very next scene, Vishnu bike ni MI:2 style lo thippi, bullets vasthunte tyre addu petti aapesthaadu. May be phaaren peepul veelle emo anna oka chinna sandheham kooda raadhu audience ki.


But unfortunately, Vishnu babu's copied stunts and inspired background music give him nothing. Because Ileana betrays him for by saying "Po Po" after saving her. The love failure expressions can be seen in Vishnu's eyes !

All the struggles which Vishnu has faced to prove his Manliness had gone in vain. The scene before interval is so heart touching. After watching the first half of the movie, its crystal clear that no one else apart from Vishnu babu can do this movie. Vishnu chetha train ekkinchi bullet tho kaalipisthundhi Ilena. Vishnu fell in the water.





INTERVAL !!




The interval bang reminds me of Magadheera's interval (hero falling in water). But guess what happens next? Vishnu babu doesn't need Sri Hari to help him out.
He could swim with and ease and makes his presence in the Hospital inspite of severe injuries.That shows how much dedicated is Munna (Vishnu) towards his goal.

Ileana who is accustomed to the European culture right from her childhood starts hating Indian clultre and emotions at her home.
Hence she elopes with her boy friend and returns back to Europe. Perhaps YVS has expected the audience to assume this shit as the twist.


After knowing this, Munna travels Europe and gives an intro with another mass fight at Europe.
Ileana Boy friend's bro is none other than OZO (Mohan Babu) who is an Underworld Don !

Mohan babu describes Vishnu as, "Andharu revolver maata vinte, revolver veedi maata vintundhi". Vishnu: Gun ni chusthe, laff (love) lo padipothaanu. Ee dialogue vinnaka audience lo Vishnu evaru anna sangathi thelusukovataniki vechi chusthu untaaru.

The scene where Vishnu babu overcomes the Gravity force from a sky scrapper and catches the RING of Ileana which was thrown from the top of the Building.
The graphics in this scene adds beauty to the scene by holding the Pulse of the audience. This has to be experienced while watching the movie.

Mohan Babu (Ozo) starts learning English from an English teacher. But was he really learning English? No. Because he was quite busy in teaching her some other things.
Thanks to Mohan Babu's schools group. He also sings a duet with his teacher.
Mohan Babu eppati nuncho ee age lo kooda dance cheyyalani korika ga undhemo. Andhuke ee movie ni produce chesi koduku future tho bongaram aata aadukunnadu.

After listening to the Love philophies by Saleem, Ileana leaves her boyfriend and proposes Fsaleem. But Saleem now rejects her love. This is the ultimate twist which no one could ever dream to expect.



Mohan babu hero ni inka kasta pettakoodadhu anukuni manchi vaadi laaga maaripothadu after a dhummu lepe climax fight in India.
Finally, teacher confesses her love for Mr. Mohan babu and there ends the movie.

The scene where teacher proposes Mohan Babu can be easily noted as one of the best Romantic scenes on the History of Telugu Cinema.


Kudos to the Director and Producer for such a daring attempt.
Special thanks to Mohan babu for making such a "Never before and Never after" kind of cinema.

Vishnu also has done equal justification to his role "Saleem".

I actually wanted to give a brief review, but I couldn't stop praising the movie which has re defined the stamina of Telugu Films.


No Verdict, No Rating.



YVS - You are the real film maker. Take a BOW ! Continue the same form and let the audience kick you out of the industry very soon.

Vishnu - You are really a Man ! You need not "try" to prove it.
Please do take the dedication from your father, but do not take suggestions from him.

Mohanbabu - Do experiment but do not experiment with your kids.

Ileana - As usual. You have once again proved that you can't improve any more in this industry and cleared doubts to those who are having hopes on you. Anyways, as long as you receive offers like Saleem, you need not improve in your skills which you cannot.


S U B H A M !
