Story:

A testing tale, the story begins with Appalaraju (Sunil) who dreams of becoming a director and prepares a script with tragedy story. He comes to Hyderabad to join the film industry and meets a producer Rocky (Raghu Babu), creative head Pushpanand (Harshavardhan). Taking inputs from them, Appalaraju starts his mission and becomes successful in roping in the hot heroine Kanishka (Sakshi Gulati) and her lover superstar Babu garu (Adarsh). But a tiff between both make Kanishka go in for Babu garu's hot rival KT (Ajay) as the hero. Meanwhile, Appalaraju's new challenge comes in the form of financier Srisailam Anna (Brahmanandam), a don with passion for writing lyrics. With all this happening, whether he will score a hit or not forms the rest of the story.

Artist Performances:

Sunil has shown his mettle once again in terms of dance and performance, he shouldered the role well. Swathi is bubbly as usual and shows a different avatar in songs. Sakshi Gulati is voluptuous and her sex appeal is very high, she did her bit as required. Adarsh was adequate, Ajay was apt, Brahmanandam was good at places, Raghu Babu was impressive, Harshavardhan was effective. Tanikella, Ali, MS Narayana, Kota, Krishna Bhagawan were alright. Venu Madhav was silly.

Plus Points:

    * Sunil's Performance And Dance

    * Theme Of The Film

    * First Twenty Minutes

Minus Points:

    * Stale Comedy

    * No Depth In Scenes

    * Second Half

    * Poor Etching Of Characters

    * Dragged Sequences

    * No Conviction In Message

Analysis:

This is perhaps one film which might make the audience rethink the abilities of Ram Gopal Varma. Nowhere is his brilliance seen, be it the scene composition or developing a plot. It is true that Ramu comes up with brilliant ideas but developing them into proper thoughts and completing them in the right manner is not happening. Given the theme of the film, this could have been a rip roaring comedy treat but nothing worked here. The film has many fluctuating moments so overall, it is a testing one for the audience. The chances of getting profits at the box office are very weak.

Verdict: Terrible!

Fullhyderabad

KSD, as everyone sure would have figured out by now, is Ram Gopal Varma's tongue-in-cheek take on the workings of Tollywood, and is a grey comedy (contrary to his bizarre "confession" in the beginning of the movie that it is, in fact, a tragedy, and that it was marketed as a comedy purely to get audiences into the theatres). What begins as a fun ride soon starts looking less like a healthy parody, and more like the incoherent ramblings of an angst-ridden has-been.Readmore
