      Ranbir Kapoor: I Agree with the Criticism on ‘Animal’
      Ranbir Kapoor: I Agree with the Criticism on ‘Animal’
      Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor starred in Animal, directed by Arjun Reddy fame Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film featured Rashmika Mandanna as the lead actress, along with Anil Kapoor, Tripti Dimri, Bobby Deol, and Shakti Kapoor in significant roles. Released on December 1 last year, Animal emerged as a blockbuster, creating a box office storm. However, it also attracted criticism, particularly for its violent content and alleged portrayal of women in a negative light. For the first time, Ranbir Kapoor has addressed these criticisms, and his comments have now gone viral online. "It’s My Responsibility" Speaking at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, Ranbir Kapoor opened up about the criticism surrounding Animal. He stated that he completely agrees with the opinions expressed by critics. Ranbir emphasized that it’s their responsibility to bring films that resonate with the audience while also encouraging innovation in cinema. He remarked that for actors, taking on diverse roles is crucial for a successful career. Fans of the film have welcomed his comments, interpreting them as a strong counter to the film’s critics. https://twitter.com/IFFIGoa/status/1860953456476835977 Did He Say the Right Thing? While some appreciated Ranbir's stance, others were not entirely pleased. A section of netizens felt that agreeing with critics could be seen as supporting their negative opinions. They argued that Ranbir could have directly defended the film and emphasized that cinema should be viewed as an art form. Some fans even expressed disappointment that he didn’t use the opportunity to praise director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for delivering such a massive hit. Instead, they felt his remarks came across as non-committal. An Eight-Day Film Extravaganza The International Film Festival of India (IFFI) is currently being held in Panaji, Goa. The festival, which began on November 20, will continue until November 28. During his speech, Ranbir Kapoor announced a special initiative to celebrate Bollywood legends. He revealed plans to host a film festival from December 13 to 15, showcasing the works of Raj Kapoor across the country. He stressed the importance of ensuring the current generation does not forget the legacy of such great artists.

      Prabhas 'Spirit' Set to Break Records: A ₹1000 Crore Mega Movie with Dual Roles and Star-Studded Cast!
      Prabhas 'Spirit' Set to Break Records: A ₹1000 Crore Mega Movie with Dual Roles and Star-Studded Cast!
      After gaining nationwide fame with the movie 'Animal', director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's unique directing skills have mesmerized everyone. Although his talent was already known to the Telugu audience from 'Arjun Reddy', it was 'Animal' that made it clear to the entire country. It is known that his next project is with Prabhas. Sandeep is currently busy with the pre-production work of 'Spirit'. A crazy update about this movie is making rounds online, and it is being touted as the biggest movie in Prabhas’ career. Let's look at the details. With a massive budget... There are high expectations nationwide for 'Spirit', directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Prabhas. Everyone is eagerly waiting for this film to start shooting. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is currently busy with pre-production. In the meantime, news about this movie is causing a stir online. The budget for this film is rumored to be around Rs. 1000 crores. Initially, the budget was said to be Rs. 500 crores, later reports suggested it increased to Rs. 750 crores. Now, the buzz is that it has reached Rs. 1000 crores. If true, this would make 'Spirit' the biggest movie in terms of budget in Prabhas' career. Remunerations amount to Rs. 600 crores! It is reported that out of the budget allocated for 'Spirit', Rs. 600 crores will be spent on remunerations alone. Film circles are buzzing that Prabhas, who will be playing a dual role, is set to receive about Rs. 300 crores. Given that he is taking on two roles, this remuneration is considered justifiable. Similarly, Bollywood stars Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, and Kareena Kapoor are said to have special roles in the movie. With such star power, the film's budget necessarily includes a significant amount for remunerations. Additionally, Rs. 300 crores are allocated for movie making, Rs. 120-150 crores for graphics, and another Rs. 50-80 crores for promotions. Mammootty in a special role! There is strong buzz that a star hero will be acting in 'Spirit'. Malayalam superstar Mammootty is rumored to play a crucial role in the film, which is said to be vital to the story. An official announcement from the film unit is awaited. The movie is also rumored to feature Bollywood couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in roles with negative shades, along with Korean and Chinese stars. Police vs. Mafia Don! There is strong buzz that Prabhas will perform dual roles in 'Spirit'. He is said to appear as a police officer in one role and as a mafia don in another, the latter having negative shades. If this is true, fans are anticipating a box office sensation. The film is expected to start shooting from January 25 next year. Previously, Prabhas has played dual roles in three films. His first was 'Billa', followed by dual roles in the 'Baahubali' series, and he is rumored to be doing the same in the upcoming 'Raja Saab'.

      Prabhas' 'Spirit' with Sandeep Reddy Vanga Set for Mid-2026: A Massive Rs. 1000 Crore Budget and a Police-to-Gangster Transformation!
      Prabhas' 'Spirit' with Sandeep Reddy Vanga Set for Mid-2026: A Massive Rs. 1000 Crore Budget and a Police-to-Gangster Transformation!
      Pan India star Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga are currently at the peak of their careers. Prabhas' recent film 'Kalki 2898 AD' was a super hit, while Sandeep Reddy's 'Animal' shook the Indian box office. The expectations for their upcoming film 'Spirit' are already sky-high among the audience. Although there have been many rumors about the film, no official announcement had been made until recently. However, the producer of 'Spirit' has now made several important announcements about the movie in a recent interview. 'Mid-2026 Release' The Bollywood production house T-Series, which produced Sandeep Reddy's last film 'Animal', will also be producing 'Spirit'. T-Series producer Bhushan Kumar recently spoke to Bollywood media for the first time about his upcoming project 'Spirit'. He mentioned that Prabhas' 'Spirit' is planned to be on sets by December and the muhurat shot will be taken next month. He revealed that they are planning to release the film in mid-2026. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is currently busy working on the story and is also working on the songs for 'Spirit'. He mentioned that he has listened to two of the songs, which have turned out well. Harshavardhan Rameshwar, who composed the music for 'Animal', will also be providing the music for 'Spirit'. Recently, a video of Sandeep Reddy Vanga listening to a song composed by Harshavardhan went viral online. https://twitter.com/Fukkard/status/1856301078016303591 Praise for 'The Raja Saab' Bhushan Kumar also spoke about 'The Raja Saab', a film directed by Maruthi starring Prabhas. He said he has seen some scenes from 'The Raja Saab', and the visuals are stunning, reminiscent of Hollywood's 'Harry Potter'. These comments have also gone viral online. Prabhas is playing dual roles in 'The Raja Saab', and a recent poster related to Prabhas' old look has surprised everyone. The film is set to release worldwide on April 10, 2025. First a Police Officer.. Then! There has been ongoing speculation that Prabhas will be seen as a powerful police officer in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film 'Spirit'. However, recent rumors suggest that after several dramatic developments in the story, Prabhas' character will transform into a gangster. It is also said that the film will contain intense wild elements, surpassing the violence and fight sequences of 'Animal'. Expectations for 'Spirit' have thus increased even further. With a Massive Budget... 'Spirit' is reportedly being produced by T-Series' Bhushan Kumar with a very large budget. There is talk that the movie has been allocated a budget of Rs. 1000 crores. Initially, the film was rumored to have a budget of Rs. 500 crores, which later increased to Rs. 750 crores, and now it reportedly stands at Rs. 1000 crores. If true, this would make 'Spirit' the biggest movie of Prabhas' career in terms of budget, with Rs. 600 crores allocated just for casting costs. Prabhas alone is rumored to be paid Rs. 300 crores, according to film industry sources.

      Prabhas Goes from Cop to Gangster in 'Spirit' – A Journey Inspired by Gopichand's 'Golimaar'?
      Prabhas Goes from Cop to Gangster in 'Spirit' – A Journey Inspired by Gopichand's 'Golimaar'?
      Pan-India star Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga are currently riding high in their careers. While Prabhas's recent film 'Kalki 2898 AD' was a hit, Sandeep Reddy's 'Animal' shook the Indian box office. Now, their upcoming film 'Spirit' is raising audience expectations to new heights. Amidst this, news related to the movie has gone viral online. First a Police Officer.. Then! It has been widely publicized that in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming 'Spirit', Prabhas will appear as a powerful police officer. However, rumors are circulating that besides this role, Prabhas will also play another key role. According to the latest buzz, after several dramatic twists, the character portrayed by Prabhas transforms from a policeman into a gangster. Moreover, the film is said to contain major wild elements and will feature even more intense violence and fight sequences than 'Animal'. The latest updates have further fueled the high expectations for 'Spirit'. In the Style of 'Golimaar'.. The 2010 film 'Golimaar', directed by Puri Jagannadh and starring Gopichand, received positive acclaim and was based on the life of encounter specialist Daya Nayak. Gopichand’s portrayal as a hard-working police officer who becomes renowned as an encounter specialist won him considerable recognition. Due to an unexpected turn of events, he transforms into a gangster. Observing the latest buzz around 'Spirit', it seems to remind us of 'Golimaar'. However, given the global standards of visuals and action sequences in 'Spirit', it's best not to compare it directly with 'Golimaar'. Two Star Heroes... It is rumored that two star heroes will feature in 'Spirit'. Vijay Deverakonda and Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor are reportedly set to make special cameo appearances. Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who launched Vijay Deverakonda as a hero in his first film 'Arjun Reddy' and recently worked with Ranbir Kapoor in 'Animal', shares a good rapport with both actors. The chances of them turning down an offer from 'Spirit', especially given its international scale and Prabhas as the lead, are slim. Moreover, there is talk of casting a star hero in a villain role in 'Spirit'. Prabhas as Villain Again? Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, who has recently been known for his villainous roles, such as playing Ravana in 'Adipurush' and an antagonist in 'Devara' opposite Tarak, is rumored to appear in a negative role in 'Spirit' as well. Speculations are rife that Saif will confront Prabhas in a powerful antagonistic role. If true, this would significantly elevate expectations for 'Spirit'. With a Massive Budget... 'Spirit' is being produced by Bhushan Kumar of T-Series and is rumored to be made on a lavish budget. Speculations suggest that the movie's budget has been set at a staggering ₹1000 crores, initially rumored to be ₹500 crores before being reported to have increased to ₹750 crores. If true, 'Spirit' would mark the biggest-budget film in Prabhas’s career, with ₹600 crores allocated just for remuneration, including ₹300 crores for Prabhas alone, according to film industry sources.

      Sandeep Reddy Vanga Backs Ananya After Reporter's Shocking Question
      Sandeep Reddy Vanga Backs Ananya After Reporter's Shocking Question
      Telugu actress Ananya Nagalla stars in the latest movie "Pottel," set to release across the two Telugu states on October 25th. Amidst ongoing promotions, Ananya has been quite busy. Recently, after the trailer launch, a press meet was held where Ananya had a bitter experience. A question raised by a journalist about commitments in the industry turned into a hot topic both in Tollywood and on social media. Ananya addressed this issue again and thanked pan-India director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for standing by their team. Praises for Sandeep by Ananya The movie "Pottel," which stars Yuvachandra Krishna and Ananya Nagalla and is directed by Sahith Mothkuri, is set to hit the screens in three days. A pre-release event was recently held by the makers, where Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for directing films like "Arjun Reddy," "Kabir Singh," and "Animal," attended as the chief guest. Ananya spoke at the event, expressing gratitude for his presence at the promotions of "Pottel," not once but twice, and praised him for his support in elevating a small film to a bigger stage. https://twitter.com/i/status/1848603026728358266 After "Rangasthalam," "Pottel" Is It: Sandeep Reddy Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, as the chief guest, spoke about the film. He mentioned that director Sahith one day told him about the small story he was filming. Upon hearing it, Sandeep felt it wasn't just a small story but a significant one. He had already seen the movie and liked it a lot, saying it was more than he had imagined and that the audience would definitely enjoy it. He praised it as the first full-scale village backdrop film he had seen since "Rangasthalam" and urged everyone to support small films. https://twitter.com/i/status/1848595831508652364 Decency in Questions: Ananya At the "Pottel" pre-release event, Ananya Nagalla made some more intriguing comments. She revisited the journalist's question about commitment, mocking its appropriateness. "After going home, I thought about how one could ask such a direct question on a sensitive topic. It made me realize, if one had decency, such questions wouldn't be asked. My dream has always been to earn recognition as an actress, which I have been fighting for at home for five years. After seeing 'Pottel,' everyone at my home will feel proud. The question on commitment spoiled the joy. Now everyone will think I succeeded because I committed, but it’s not true. Just because actresses wear makeup and smile doesn't mean they don't have a heart or a family. Please respect us," Ananya requested. What Really Happened? The trailer launch event for the movie "Pottel" recently took place in Hyderabad, with prominent actress Samyuktha Menon releasing the trailer. During the subsequent press meet, a female reporter questioned Ananya Nagalla about the casting couch, asking, "Before giving a movie chance to an actress or artist, do you ask for commitments? Have you ever faced this?" Ananya responded, "How can you be so sure that commitments are asked? There's nothing like that." The reporter continued, "But your industry friends said commitments are part of the signing agreements." Ananya clarified, "That's 100% wrong. I have never faced such a situation. It doesn't exist." https://twitter.com/tfpcin/status/1847262295266865248 Producer of "Mallesham" Fires at Reporter Netizens criticized the manner in which the female reporter questioned Ananya Nagalla, and as the video went viral, "Mallesham" producer Venkat Siddareddy also responded. He posted a lengthy post on X, criticizing the reporter's inappropriate question during a movie promotion. He mentioned the precautions taken for Ananya's safety during the shooting of "Mallesham" and condemned the harsh nature of the reporter's question, praising Ananya for her fitting response. Ananya thanked Venkat Siddareddy for his support in this matter. https://twitter.com/AnanyaNagalla/status/1847503625607680498

      Prabhas Set for His Biggest Film Yet: 'Spirit' to Feature Megastar Chiranjeevi and a Staggering INR 1000 Crore Budget!
      Pan-Indian star Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga are currently at the peak of their careers. Prabhas' last film, 'Kalki 2898 AD', grossed over INR 1200 crores, making a significant impact at the box office. Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s 'Animal' has also shaken up the Indian film industry significantly. Now, the anticipation for their upcoming collaboration on 'Spirit' has been mounting among audiences. Recently, some exciting updates about 'Spirit' have been revealed. Megastar Chiranjeevi's Special Appearance! There is strong speculation that Megastar Chiranjeevi might appear in a special role in the movie 'Spirit'. Reports suggest that director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has been in talks with Chiranjeevi, and if he agrees, it would significantly heightened expectations for 'Spirit'. Additionally, there is buzz that Malayalam superstar Mammootty will also play a crucial role in the film, which is said to be pivotal to the storyline. Official announcements from the production team are awaited. The movie is also rumored to feature Bollywood couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in roles with negative shades, and there are whispers that Korean and Chinese stars might join the cast as well. When Does Shooting Start? Pre-production work for 'Spirit' is currently in full swing, and initial plans by Sandeep Reddy Vanga aim to start shooting from November. However, Prabhas is currently busy with other projects like 'Raja Saab' and 'Fauji', which are also under production. With these projects scheduled, the new plan is to start shooting for 'Spirit' in the first week of January next year. By then, 'Raja Saab' would have wrapped up and 'Fauji' would be over 50% complete, freeing up Prabhas for 'Spirit'. Ceremonial activities for the movie are planned for early January, with regular shooting expected to begin after the festival of Sankranti. The Shocking Budget! 'Spirit', directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Prabhas, is generating massive expectations nationwide. Everyone is eagerly waiting to see when the film will hit the floors as the pre-production is creating a buzz online. The budget for the movie is rumored to have been set at a whopping INR 1000 crores. Initially, the budget was speculated to be around INR 500 crores, later updated to INR 750 crores, and now it stands at INR 1000 crores. If true, this would make 'Spirit' the biggest movie of Prabhas' career in terms of budget. Record Remuneration for Prabhas! Out of the total budget for 'Spirit', about INR 600 crores is reportedly allocated for the cast's remuneration, with Prabhas alone commanding INR 300 crores due to his dual role in the film. If confirmed, this payment would make him the highest-paid Indian actor ever. In addition, Bollywood stars like Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, and Kareena Kapoor are also rumored to be playing special roles in the film, which justifies such a significant budget allocation for the cast.

In this context, fans are eagerly anticipating the entry of his heir, Akira Nandan, into films. They are looking forward to seeing Akira Nandan fill Pawan Kalyan's shoes on screen. Recently, there has been significant buzz that Akira will make his debut with the film 'OG.' This has now been confirmed to be completely true.

While his role in 'OG' has not been disclosed, there might be more leaks about Akira's role soon. Let's wait and see, along with the fans. https://twitter.com/FilmyTwood/status/1859094576272953795 Learning Acting from Father's Mentor Before entering films, Power Star Pawan Kalyan learned the nuances of acting at the Satyanand Acting School in Visakhapatnam, under the prominent acting guru Satyanand.

But the makers are set to give fans a grand treat to kick off the new year. Additionally, the film will feature Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi in a challenging role against Pawan Kalyan.

His approach challenged the notion that audiences only appreciate traditional narratives, proving that new ideas are warmly embraced.

Fans believe Prabhas might adopt a similar makeover for the film. Whether this prediction comes true will be revealed soon. https://twitter.com/PrasanthVarma/status/1858346779604906308 Three Different Looks for Prabhas In Spirit, Prabhas is set to portray a powerful police officer. Based on Sandeep’s latest look, fans speculate this might influence Prabhas’ cop avatar.

The film team is currently focused on pre-production activities for #SSMB29. In this context, a recent photo shared by Rajamouli, showing him in a desert area, has gone viral. He captioned it, "Roaming to discover," indicating his search for locations for Mahesh’s movie. Fans are eagerly awaiting more updates. View this post on Instagram A post shared by SS Rajamouli (@ssrajamouli) Has the Location Been Confirmed? Director Rajamouli is currently in Africa. He and his son Karthikeya are exploring the national parks in Kenya, searching for forest regions and areas where animals are prevalent. The latest photo shared by Rajamouli was also taken there. Alongside, a video has also gone viral showing Rajamouli traveling in a safari vehicle, inspecting locations in the national park. Given the movie’s backdrop set in Amazonian forests, part of it will likely be shot in Kenya’s national parks. https://twitter.com/i/status/1565532933183930368 Utilization of AI Technology! For the global project 'SSMB 29', Rajamouli is set to use AI technology, for which special training has been undertaken.

      Shocking! Small Film 'Pottel' Beats Jr NTR's 400-Crore 'Devara' in Fan Reviews
      Shocking! Small Film 'Pottel' Beats Jr NTR's 400-Crore 'Devara' in Fan Reviews
      Ananya Nagalla and Yuva Chandra starred in the latest film "Pottel," directed by Saahith Mothkuri, who was introduced as a director with the movie "Savaari." Recently, "Pottel" has garnered a level of publicity that small films rarely achieve. Released last Friday (October 25), the film has been receiving positive responses from audiences. Viewers commented that the film reflects very natural and real-life scenarios from the past. In this context, a viewer’s comment comparing "Devara" to "Pottel" has gone viral on the internet. 'Much better than Devara' The film "Devara," directed by Koratala Shiva starring Jr. NTR, was recently released and created a tsunami of collections, grossing over Rs. 400 crores at the box office. Top-notch music director Anirudh worked on this film. A viewer’s comment comparing "Pottel" to "Devara" has been trending online. A YouTuber who went to the theater showing "Pottel" tried to gather audience opinions. In the process, he stopped the audience coming out of the theater and asked how the movie was. The viewer expressed in the video that he liked "Pottel" much better than "Devara." Are smaller films better than big films? The YouTuber asked, to which he reiterated the viewer’s opinion that "Pottel" is better than "Devara." This video is currently going viral. https://twitter.com/i/status/1849871631818293722 Content is king Regardless of whether it’s a big or small film, Telugu audiences appreciate good content, which is exactly what is happening with "Pottel." This low-budget film with a solid story is captivating the audience. Recent films like "Aay," "Committee Kurrollu," and "Mathu Vadalara 2" also achieved success in the same way, despite not having big stars or big budgets. However, the Telugu audience embraced even "Devara." Yet, it is intriguing that the viewer expressed a preference for "Pottel" over "Devara." What is "Pottel" about? Director Saahith Mothkuri has depicted the rural backdrop of the 1980s in "Pottel," transporting the audience back in time right from the beginning. In the first 20 minutes, he immerses the audience in village life, showing how the lower and vulnerable classes were oppressed and subjected to severe hardship. The film’s approach to caste, religion, and egotistical distinctions between big and small has become a major attraction. The introduction of characters, the love story between the hero and heroine, and other scenes beautifully set up the first half. The second part seems a bit faltering where the director over-emphasized the villain harming the main characters to evoke emotions, leading to scenes that stray from logic. However, the director succeeded in connecting the audience with the underlying message of the story. Plot  The story unfolds in Gurramgadda village, located at the borders of Maharashtra and Telangana. The villagers conduct a festival for the village deity Balamma once in every cycle and offer sacrifices. It is believed that during this time, the deity possesses Patel (Ajay), the village head, who then prevents the villagers from progressing, particularly in education. On the other side, Pedda Gangadhari (Yuva Chandra) serves as the keeper of the sacrificial animals and secretly educates his daughter. When Patel finds out, he makes the sacrificial animal disappear. He threatens to sacrifice Gangadhari’s daughter if the animal isn’t found by the festival. What does Gangadhari do to save his daughter? Is he able to bring back the animal? What role does Bujjamma (Ananya Nagalla) play in this story? https://telugu.yousay.tv/en/pottel-movie-review-rangasthalam-level-telugu-film-sandeep-reddy-vangas-bold-comparison-ananyas-de-glam-avatar-shocks-but-second-half-disappoints.html

      Pottel Movie Review: 'Rangasthalam' Level Telugu Film? Sandeep Reddy Vanga's BOLD Comparison, Ananya's De-glam Avatar Shocks, But Second Half DISAPPOINTS!
      Cast: Yuva Chandra Krishna, Ananya Nagalla, Ajay, Priyanka Sharma, Tanasvi Choudary, Noel Sean, Chatrapathi Shekhar, Srikanth Iyengar, Jeevan, Riyaz, Vikram, and others. Written and Directed by: Sahith Mothkuri Music by: Shekhar Chandra Cinematography by: Monish Bhupathi Raju Edited by: Karthika Srinivas Producers: Nishank Reddy Kudithi, Suresh Kumar Sadige Production Companies: Nisa Entertainments, Pragnya Sannidhi Creations Release Date: 25-10-2024 In the latest film Pottel, Ananya Nagalla and Yuva Chandra pair up in a film directed by Sahith Mothkuri, who made his directorial debut with the film Savari. Pottel has garnered unprecedented publicity for a small-scale cinema. Pan-India director Sandeep Reddy Vanga praised this film by comparing it with Ram Charan's 'Rangasthalam.' The screenwriter Trivikram also raised expectations by lauding the film. Released on Friday (October 25), did this film meet expectations? Did it bring success to Ananya? Let's see in this review. Plot The story unfolds in Gurramgadda village, located at the borders of Maharashtra and Telangana. The villagers conduct a festival for the village deity Balamma once in every cycle and offer sacrifices. It is believed that during this time, the deity possesses Patel (Ajay), the village head, who then prevents the villagers from progressing, particularly in education. On the other side, Pedda Gangadhari (Yuva Chandra) serves as the keeper of the sacrificial animals and secretly educates his daughter. When Patel finds out, he makes the sacrificial animal disappear. He threatens to sacrifice Gangadhari's daughter if the animal isn't found by the festival. What does Gangadhari do to save his daughter? Is he able to bring back the animal? What role does Bujjamma (Ananya Nagalla) play in this story? Performances Ajay, as Patel, delivers a powerhouse performance, surpassing even his impactful role in 'Vikramarkudu.' Newcomer Yuva Chandra excels as Gangadhari, a man desperate to educate his child and improve his village. Despite being his debut, he perfectly fits into his role. Telugu actress Ananya Nagalla gets a substantial role and shines as Bujjamma. Even in a deglamorized role, she delivers an exceptional performance. Singer Noel also got a significant role and did justice to it. Srikanth Iyengar and Chatrapathi Shekhar lived up to their roles, along with other supporting cast members who performed competently within their limits. Direction Director Sahith Mothkuri captures the essence of a rural 1980s setting right from the beginning, immersing the audience into that era within the first 20 minutes. He vividly portrays how the oppressed and weak were subdued during the Patel era, focusing on the prejudices rooted in caste and pride. The introduction of characters, the love story between the hero and heroine, and other scenes are well-handled in the first half. However, the second half seems a bit faltering. The director appears to rely too heavily on the villain's oppression to drive emotional engagement, resulting in scenes that sometimes lack logical continuity. Nevertheless, the director succeeds in connecting the audience with the film's underlying message. Technically On the technical front, the music and cinematography departments have performed well. The songs and background score positively impact the film. However, editing flaws are noticeable, particularly in the second half where scenes drag. The art department excels, recreating the atmosphere of the 1980s with their workmanship. Plus Points - Story - Lead performances - Music Minus Points - Lack of engaging narrative - Dragging scenes Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 3/5

      Suriya's 'Kanguva' Sets New Trend with AI Dubbing – Aiming for ₹1000 Crore!
      Starring Suriya in the lead role, the film 'Kanguva' is directed by Shiva. It is a joint production by Studio Green and UV Creations, set to release globally on November 14th. This fantasy action film is shaping up interestingly, and producer KE Gnanavel shared something exciting about it. He mentioned that they are setting a new trend with Artificial Intelligence (AI), and these remarks have become a hot topic in the industry. Dubbing with AI The makers of 'Kanguva' aim to release the film simultaneously in eight languages. In this context, producer KE Gnanavel shared that while Suriya will be dubbing for the Tamil version, the dubbing for other languages will be done using AI. This is the first time AI is being used for dubbing in Kollywood. He recalled using AI to modify Amitabh Bachchan's voice in the recently released 'Vettaiyan'. However, now the entire dubbing process will be done using AI, and they are optimistic about this experiment's success. The film 'Kanguva' is slated for release not only in all major Indian languages but also in English, French, and Spanish, with Chinese and Japanese release dates to be announced soon. ₹1000 Crore Goal! Producer KE Gnanavel recently stated that their goal is to achieve ₹1000 crore in collections with a grand release of 'Kanguva'. He mentioned that the stories for Part 2 and Part 3 are already prepared and that if the first part is successful, they plan to proceed with filming the subsequent parts. He expressed confidence that this film will elevate Suriya to a new level and highlighted that the movie will give significant importance to both action and emotions. The film, which also features Bollywood beauty Disha Patani and Animal fame Bobby Deol, with Suriya in the role of a formidable character named Kanga, is progressing rapidly. The film will also dazzle in 3D. Suriya as the Villain in Dhoom 4! Everyone is aware of the success achieved by the Hindi films 'Dhoom', 'Dhoom 2', and 'Dhoom 3'. Production house Yash Raj Films is now preparing to launch 'Dhoom 4'. Aditya Chopra, who provided the stories for 'Dhoom', 'Part 2', and '3', is also working on this new installment. It is rumored that Shahrukh Khan will star in it, and there are plans to cast Kollywood actor Suriya as the antagonist. There are reports that the film team has already approached Suriya for this role, and he has shown interest. Fans and movie lovers are eagerly awaiting an official announcement. Suriya as Rolex! The film 'Vikram', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Kamal Haasan, was a massive hit nationwide. Set against a backdrop of drug trafficking, Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi played the villain, with Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil in a crucial role. However, in a surprise twist during the climax, Suriya appeared as the head of the drug dealers, leaving audiences in awe with his menacing look as Rolex. The climax of 'Vikram 2' made it clear that Suriya would appear as the villain in the sequel. Previously, Suriya had also played a villainous role in '24', where he portrayed two characters, including one negative role.

      Devara Box Office Rampage: Jr NTR’s Latest Film Nears ₹500 Crore Mark in Just 10 Days!
      The recent film featuring Jr NTR and directed by Koratala Siva, 'Devara: Part 1,' released worldwide on September 27, has secured a solid victory at the box office. Despite mixed initial reviews, the film showed remarkable strength in its collections, setting records from the very first day. Having completed 10 days since its release, the producers have officially announced the collections, and the figures have left everyone astounded, commenting on the unrelenting rampage of Devara. [toc] Approaching ₹500 Crore... In 'Devara,' Tarak was paired with Janhvi Kapoor, and Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan played the villain. In terms of collections, the film has grossed ₹466 crore worldwide within these 10 days. The makers have released a special poster to announce this achievement. With blockbuster collections, the movie continues to perform well in theaters. In the Telugu states alone, the film grossed ₹193.55 crore, with Karnataka contributing ₹16.40 crore, Tamil Nadu ₹4 crore, Kerala ₹92 lakhs, and the rest of India, including Hindi regions, adding ₹29.80 crore. If this momentum continues, Devara is likely to hit the ₹500 crore mark over this weekend. First Day and Weekend Collections The Devara movie, starring NTR and Janhvi Kapoor, grossed over ₹172 crore on its opening day. It collected approximately ₹83.71 crore in the two Telugu states alone, making it the second film to achieve such high collections after 'RRR'. By the end of the first weekend, Devara had already reached the ₹300 crore mark, with a total of ₹304 crore grossed in just three days. Although collections gradually decreased thereafter, the film still managed to turn profitable for the distributors. With no major releases last week, Devara faced no significant competition this weekend, likely easing its path to the ₹500 crore mark. Profits from Sunday By the end of the second Saturday (September 5) shows, Devara had crossed the break-even point in almost all areas. From Sunday onwards, all collections are profits. The Dussehra holidays and the lack of other major releases provide a big advantage for Devara. The film's collections are also stable overseas. According to trade circles, Devara has started making profits in many regions including Kerala, Karnataka, Hindi-speaking areas, and the rest of India. This has brought immense joy to both the Devara team and Tarak's fans. Telugu Films That Crossed ₹500 Crore Several films from Tollywood have already grossed over ₹500 crore. What are these films?
