    Ravi Teja's 'Mr. Bachchan' Flops on OTT: Trolls Continue to Mock the Film
    Ravi Teja's 'Mr. Bachchan' Flops on OTT: Trolls Continue to Mock the Film
    Directed by Harish Shankar and starring Ravi Teja, the film 'Mr Bachchan' was released on August 15 and initially met with massive criticism. Harish Shankar’s direction was heavily criticized, leading to a significant backlash at the box office for 'Mr Bachchan'. With hopes of captivating the OTT audience, the film was recently released on streaming platforms. However, even OTT viewers are wielding criticism, reigniting a wave of trolls on social media platforms. Continued Mockery on OTT! 'Mr Bachchan', which had high hopes pinned on it by mass Maharaja Ravi Teja, faced a dismal performance at the box office. Directed by Harish Shankar with Bhagyashri Borse as the heroine, the movie has been a monumental flop. However, since September 12, the film has been available on Netflix and has been released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. Yet, it has not been well-received on OTT either, failing even to secure a spot in the Netflix top 10 trending list. Surprisingly, a film featuring star hero Ravi Teja has garnered minimal views, causing a stir among Netflix circles. Few who watched the movie on OTT are adding to the trolls online, deterring potential viewers. Severe Trolling! Some scenes from the movie 'Mr Bachchan' have left netizens astonished. Director Harish Shankar is being criticized for how certain scenes were executed. Particularly, a fight scene dialogue by an actor saying, “I regret being born a man... if only I were a woman,” has become a major target for trolls. Moreover, dance steps performed by Ravi Teja with Bhagyashri Borse in the songs are being likened to adult content, causing further controversy. The songs are also criticized for being irrelevant and forcibly fitted into the scenes. Even though the Hindi version 'Ride' was a hit, director Harish Shankar is facing backlash as 'Mr Bachchan' didn’t meet expectations. A netizen posted that they couldn’t watch the movie for even an hour and stopped watching after just half an hour. https://twitter.com/nenuneneh/status/1834511822277234953 https://twitter.com/BalaRTCultFan/status/1834481953619542526 https://twitter.com/koppalapn/status/1834462816470007925 https://twitter.com/IamanMCA/status/1834453046287630562 https://twitter.com/Dynamic_boy_7/status/1834439289717096574 https://twitter.com/BunnyJashu3/status/1834299241700757520 Plot Income Tax Officer Mr. Bachchan (Ravi Teja) is an honest man who faces wrath from his superiors for raiding a corrupt tobacco trader. This leads to his suspension. Following this, Mr. Bachchan returns to his hometown Kotipalli, where he falls in love with Jikki (Bhagyashri). As he prepares to get married, he is called back to his job. He is then assigned to conduct a raid at MP Muthyam Jaggiyya's (Jagapathi Babu) house, a figure feared even by officials. How does Bachchan conduct the raid? What challenges does he face there? What happens to Bachchan and Jikki's love affair? How do the elders agree to their marriage? Ultimately, what does Mr. Bachchan achieve? That is the rest of the story.

Mokshagna, who previously appeared a bit chubby, has recently transformed into a slim and heroic look. Director Prasanth Varma of 'Hanu-Man' fame is set to introduce him to the Telugu audience.

Prasanth Varma's name resonated across the country with 'Hanu-Man,' showcasing his talent to all. Having experience working with young heroes like Teja Sajja, Balayya believes that Prasanth can present Mokshagna effectively.

    Jai Hanuman: Megastar Chiranjeevi in 'Jai Hanuman'?
    Teja Sajja and director Prashanth Varma's film 'Hanuman' has captivated audiences nationwide. Released across India in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, it quickly became a blockbuster hit. This Sankranthi, 'Hanuman' not only held its own against major films but also shattered box office records, generating significant profits for its producers. The success of the film has naturally led to heightened expectations for its sequel. Recently, buzz has emerged around 'Hanuman 2', with rumors circulating in Tollywood that Megastar Chiranjeevi may join this highly anticipated project. Contacts with the Megastar! As hinted in the climax of the first part, 'Hanuman' will have a sequel. The script work for this movie is nearly complete. It is understood that director Prashanth Varma wishes to cast Megastar Chiranjeevi for the role of Hanuman, believing that only he can do justice to the character given its importance in the sequel. Alternatively, there are strong efforts to cast Ram Charan for the same role. As per sources efforts have started, strengthening the buzz that either Chiranjeevi or Ram Charan might be enacting as Hanuman. Producer Chaitanya Reddy's recent comments have further fueled this speculation, suggesting that if either Chiru or Charan agrees, expectations for 'Hanuman 2' will sky-rocket. Will 'Jai Hanuman' Take Time to Start? It appears that 'Jai Hanuman' might take more time to kick off.

    Unpacking 'Mr. Bachchan' Movie Review: A Blend of Action, Comedy, and Romance
    Unpacking 'Mr. Bachchan' Movie Review: A Blend of Action, Comedy, and Romance
    Cast: Ravi Teja, Bhagyashri Borse, Jagapathi Babu, Sachin Khedekar, Shubhaleka Sudhakar, Kishore Raju Vashisht, Satya, Chammak Chandra, and others. Director: Harish Shankar Music: Mickey J. Meyer Cinematography: Ayananka Bose Editor: Ujwal Kulkarni Producers: TG Vishwaprasad, Bhushan Kumar, Krishnan Kumar, Abhishek The latest film featuring Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja under the direction of Harish Shankar is titled "Mr. Bachchan." Bollywood beauty Bhagyashri Borse stars as the heroine. Following the blockbuster "Mirapakay," the expectations for "Mr. Bachchan," another Ravi Teja-Harish Shankar combo, were sky-high. Trailers, teasers, and promotional images significantly raised expectations. The movie was released on August 15th as an Independence Day treat. How was the film? Did it meet expectations? Did Ravi Teja score another hit? Let's find out in this review. What's the Story? Income Tax Officer Mr. Bachchan (Ravi Teja) is an honest man. He becomes the target of wrath from his superiors after raiding a corrupt tobacco trader, leading to his suspension. Afterwards, Mr. Bachchan returns to his hometown, Kotipalli, and falls in love with Jikki (Bhagyashri). Just as he's preparing to marry, he's called back to his job. His next assignment is a raid at the home of MP Muthyam Jaggaiah (Jagapathi Babu), a man even officials fear. How did Bachchan conduct the raid in Jaggaiah’s home? What challenges did he face there? How did Bachchan and Jikki's love affair turn out? How did the elders agree to their marriage? Ultimately, what does Mr. Bachchan achieve? This is the rest of the story. How Did They Perform? Ravi Teja appears very powerful as Mr. Bachchan, dazzling with his unique style of comedy and reminiscent of the Ravi Teja of the past. He marked his presence in both action sequences and emotional scenes, showing versatility adapted to the situations. Bhagyashri Borse charmed with her glamor, especially shining in the songs. Jagapathi Babu fully justified his role as the antagonist. Comedian Satya entertained with his comedy, especially in the first half. Sachin Khedekar, Tanikella Bharani, Gautami, and Praveen also performed well in their respective roles, fitting perfectly within their character limits. How's the Direction? Director Harish Shankar attempted to show through this film the benefits to society when an Income Tax Officer works with integrity. He well-crafted the character of Mr. Bachchan and its related scenes. The love track between Ravi Teja and Bhagyashri Borse was a strong point of the movie. It played a crucial role in engaging the audience in the first half, along with Satya’s comedy. The climax leading up to the raid on Muthyam Jaggaiah's house and the subsequent action-packed scenes turned the narrative engaging. However, the magic of Harish’s direction faded somewhat in the second half. The entire second half revolving solely around the IT raid lessened the intrigue. A more interesting build-up between the hero and the villain's mind games would have been advantageous. A stronger portrayal of the villain’s role could have elevated the film to another level. Technically Technically, Mickey J. Meyer was the first hero for this film, providing catchy tunes suitable for the narrative. Songs like "Reppalu Dappulu," "Jikki," "Sitara," and "Nallanchu Tella Cheera" were a feast for both ears and eyes. Ayananka Bose's cinematographer was captivating. The production values were high.

    Cast: Nandu, Tejaswi Madivada, Priya Anand, Ashutosh Rana, Pavani Reddy, Keshav Deepak, Sudha, Bhanu Chander, and others. Director: Anish Kuruvilla Cinematography: Naveen Yadav Music: Shaktikanth Karthik Editing: Umair Hasan, Fayaz Ray Producers: Gopichand Achanta, Ram Achanta OTT: Disney+ Hotstar Starring Ashutosh Rana, Priya Anand, Nandu, Sonia Agarwal, and Tejaswini Madivada in leading roles, the latest Telugu web series "The Mystery of Moksha Island" has been directed by Anish Kuruvilla. This suspense crime thriller has debuted on the prominent OTT platform Hotstar. How is this series? Has it pleased the OTT audience? Let's find out in this review. Plot Nobel laureate Indian scientist Vishwak Sen (Ashutosh Rana) dies unexpectedly in a flight accident, leaving behind an estate worth nearly ₹24,000 crores. Before his death, he writes a will distributing his wealth equally among all his relatives, with one condition: they must spend a week on Moksha Island. Agreeing to this, Vishwak Sen's family members land on the island, but unexpected events unfold, leading to their deaths one by one. What is the mystery of Moksha Island? Why did Vishwak impose the condition to stay on the island for a week? Are the people who went there really Vishwak's family members or not? What is Vishwak's connection to Moksha Island? That is the story. Performance The web series "The Mystery of Moksha Island" features several actors. Among them, Priya Anand, Nandu, and Ashutosh Rana stand out. Nandu justifies his role as a young man determined to solve the island mystery, while Ashutosh Rana is compelling as a cunning scientist. Tejaswi Madivada and Akshara Gowda attract more with their glamour than their acting. Roshan Kanakala, son of the famous anchor Suma Kanakala, impresses in a gay role. Bhanuchander, Sonia Agarwal, Ajay Katurvar, and Satyakrishna, along with others, do justice to their roles with their performances. Direction Director Anish Kuruvilla has crafted a well-written mystery story set on an island. He designed characters with varied backgrounds for the series, showing an unknown side to each character. Who is killing those who set foot on the island? Episodes where everyone suspects each other build suspense. The director engages the audience with numerous questions about the island over six episodes. The way he unravels the mysteries in the final two episodes is satisfying, although having too many characters on screen can be confusing. Romantic and bold scenes might be uncomfortable for family audiences. The climax might not be as satisfying as expected. However, those who enjoy thriller genres will likely appreciate this series. Technically On the technical front, Naveen Yadav's cinematographer is impressive. He beautifully captures the beach episodes. The art department also performs well; the lab setup looks realistic. The background music provided by Shaktikanth Karthik is decent. The editing is okay, and the production values are good.

    Aho Vikramarka Movie Review: Dev Gill's 'Aho! Vikramarka' Struggles to Impress
    Cast: Dev Gill, Chitra Shukla, Tejaswini Pandit, Praveen Tarde, Posani Krishna Murali, Sayaji Shinde, Prabhakar, and others Director: Peta Trikoti Screenplay and Dialogue: Prasad Varma Music: Ravi Basrur Editor: Tammi Raju Producers: Dev Gill, Mihir Sudhir, Ashwani Kumar Mishra Release Date: August 30, 2024 Actor Dev Gill, known for his role as a villain in Magadheera, has gained recognition in several Telugu films. His latest film as a protagonist, 'Aho! Vikramarka,directed by Trikoti, is released on August 30. How did the film turn out? Did hero Dev Gill succeed? Let's find out in this review. Plot In Pune, 1200 laborers from a colony disappear without a trace for 25 years, leaving their families in despair, not knowing whether they are alive or dead. During this period, Vikramarka (Dev Gill) is transferred to the Pune police station as an SI. Initially, he colluded with the drug mafia led by Bilal (Posani Krishna Murali). Influenced by his girlfriend Archana (Chitra Shukla), he transforms into an honest police officer. What incident prompted Vikramarka's change? What happened to the missing laborers? Was Vikramarka able to save them? What challenges did he face in this process? This is the story. Performances Dev Gill has shown his mark in action scenes. With experience playing villains in various films, he seemed to handle action effortlessly. However, he struggled significantly in love scenes and emotional sequences, failing to express emotions convincingly. Chitra Shukla delivered a solid performance as the heroine, fitting well into her role. Praveen and Tejaswini Pandit, as the villain and ACP Bhavani respectively, were compelling. Posani Krishna Murali and Sayaji Shinde impressed with their seasoned acting. The rest of the cast was satisfactory. Direction Directed by Peta Trikoti, the film reminds one of Telugu hits like 'Temper' and 'Pataas.' However, the plot lacks novelty, and the narration isn't engaging. The director failed to extract compelling performances corresponding to the story's demands. The love track between the hero and heroine feels quite tedious, and Dev Gill's romantic looks recall his villain roles. Nonetheless, Trikoti made an effort to showcase his style in the fight scenes, which are somewhat interesting when the hero confronts the villains. Technically... The art department performed well. Ravi Basrur's music was underwhelming, though the background score was passable in places. The production values were high, with no compromise on the budget.

Sreekar Art Director: Aravind Mule Producer: Manasa Dasari OTT Platform: ETV Win Recently, OTT platforms have been home to many unique stories, with ETV Win bringing a different movie every week to entertain its audience. This week, the suspense thriller 'Tatva' was released directly on OTT. Featuring Hima Dasari and Pooja Reddy Bora as leads, directed by Ruthvik Yalagiri, this hour-long film has hit the screens, but did it win over the OTT audience? Let’s find out in this review. What’s the story? Arif (Hima Dasari) is a regular taxi driver who suddenly finds himself in need of money. In this quest, businessman Thomas (Osman Ghani) rides in Arif’s taxi. Realizing Thomas has the money he needs, Arif plans to get it by any means necessary. Unexpectedly, Thomas is murdered during their interaction, and Arif gets entangled in the case. Police officer Jyotsna (Pooja Reddy Bora) steps in to investigate. Who killed Thomas? How is Arif involved? What is the relationship between Thomas and Arif? Is Arif innocent? The answers unfold only through watching the movie. How did they perform? Although Hima Dasari is the main hero, it’s Osman Ghani who steals the show as Thomas. His portrayal adds depth to the character, making even a smile resonate with underlying intentions. Hima Dasari also captivates as Arif, bringing to life the struggles of a young man. Pooja Reddy landed a significant role, which seems straightforward at first but takes a surprising turn at the climax, pivotal in twisting the story. The film primarily revolves around these three characters, with other actors performing well within their roles. How’s the direction? Having worked as an assistant director for movies like 'Run Raja Run' and 'Saaho,' Ruthvik brings a unique style to this thrilling cinema. The film, which explains the fading humanity within individuals, starts grippingly, especially the first 20 minutes. Ruthvik aims to deliver his points without confusion, wrapping up the film in just 58 minutes, a definite plus. However, some scenes stray from logic and feel incomplete, which could have been refined for better impact.

    "Hide N Seek" Review: A Gripping Crime Thriller with Unexpected Twists and Turns
    Cast: Viswant Duddumpudi, Shilpa Manjunath, Rhea Sachdeva, Tejaswini Naidu, Viva Raghav, Sumanth Varela, and others. Written and Directed by: Basireddy Rana Music by: Lijo K. Jose Editor: Amar Reddy Kudumula Producer: Narendra Buchireddygari Release Date: September 20, 2024 Viswant Duddumpudi, known from movies like 'Kerintha' and 'Manamantha', is now featured in the film 'Hide N Seek'. Produced under the banner of Sahasra Entertainments by Narendra Buchireddygari and directed by Basireddy Rana, this film has raised expectations with its teasers and trailers. Released in theaters this Friday (September 20), let’s see how much it managed to entertain the audience. What is the Story About? The story unfolds in the backdrop of Kurnool. Shiva (Viswant Duddumpudi) is a medical student aspiring to become an army doctor. He is in love with Varsha (Rhea Sachdeva), who studies in the same college. In the meantime, a series of inexplicable murders start shaking up the city. A delivery boy is inexplicably beaten to death with a rod. Similar baseless murders spread fear across the city. To solve these serial murder mysteries, police officer Vaishnavi (Shilpa Manjunath) steps into the scene. However, Shiva discovers clues that even the police can't seem to find, leading them to suspect him as the psycho killer. Who framed Shiva in these murders? Who is behind these serial killings? To uncover these mysteries, one must watch the movie. How Did They Perform? Young actor Viswant Duddumpudi delivers an excellent performance in the role of Shiva, showcasing his emotional depth well. Kannada actress Shilpa Manjunath looks convincing as a sincere police officer, carefully matching her Telugu dialogues. Rhea Sachdeva, playing the heroine, is limited to a few scenes. Actor Saksi Shiv adds great value to his negative character with his deep voice and compelling acting, making a significant impact. Other actors performed adequately within their roles. How is the Direction? Director Basireddy Rana successfully crafts this film as an investigative crime thriller. From the opening scene to the end, he manages to keep the audience glued to their seats. The screenplay is gripping, especially from the first murder to the climax, presenting unforeseeable twists. The way characters are designed and integrated into the story is impressive, with an intriguing link to ancient stories. However, placing this modern warfare in a small city like Kurnool doesn't seem entirely convincing. The film struggles to establish the extent of youth addiction to gaming, and sometimes the portrayal of human emotions falls flat. Overall, the film will appeal to fans of crime investigation movies. Technically Speaking Technically, the cinematography is commendable. Lijo K. Jose’s background music is a significant plus, enhancing the suspense elements effectively. The editing is adequate, and the production values are quite good. Plus Points - Viswant Duddumpudi’s acting - Novelty in the story - Thrilling elements Minus Points - Weak drama - Some unclear scenes Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 2.5/5

    35 Chinna Katha Kaadu Review: A Heartfelt Tale of Family, Education, and Triumph with Stellar Performances
    35 Chinna Katha Kaadu Review: A Heartfelt Tale of Family, Education, and Triumph with Stellar Performances
    Cast: Nivetha Thomas, Priyadarshi, Vishwadev R, Gauthami, Bhagyaraj, Krishna Teja, Abhay, Ananya, and others Screenplay and Direction: Nandakishore Imani Music: Vivek Sagar Cinematography: Niketh Bommireddy Editing: T.C. Prasanna Presented by: Rana Daggubati Producers: Srujan, Siddharth Release Date: 09-06-2024 Starring Nivetha Thomas, Vishwadev R, and Priyadarshi in lead roles, the film '35 Chinna Katha Kaadu' is directed by Nandakishore Imani. The movie, produced by prominent actor Rana Daggubati, features Nivetha Thomas in a mother's role for the first time. The trailer, already released, has heightened expectations. The movie is set to release on September 6 in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam, but a special premiere was held for the press one day earlier. How did the film turn out? Did Nivetha’s new venture succeed? Let's examine in this review. Plot Prasad (Vishwadev) and Saraswati (Nivetha Thomas) are a middle-class couple. For Saraswati, her husband and two sons, Arun and Varun, are her world. Arun, the elder son, studies in the sixth grade and struggles with math. His logical questions often leave teachers without answers. As a result, the math teacher Chanakya (Priyadarshi) challenges him by setting the bar at achieving at least 35 marks in math to stay in school, labeling him "Zero" for his continuous poor performance. This forces Arun to sit in his younger brother’s class. How does Arun handle this situation? How does he become a hero in his class? What does his mother Saraswati, who failed tenth grade, do to help her son understand math? Did Arun manage to score the necessary 35 marks? That forms the rest of the story. Performances Nivetha Thomas excels as Saraswati, embodying the role of a mother of two, a wife, and an educator with finesse. Her expressions and emotional depth stand out. Priyadarshi, as the math teacher Chanakya, delivers a memorable performance, portraying a strict yet caring teacher. The dynamic between Nivetha and Chanakya is one of the pillars of this film. Vishwadev does well as the husband. The two children playing Arun and Varun captivate with their performances. Bhagyaraj, Krishna Teja, and others contribute significantly in other key roles. Direction Director Nandakishore Imani crafted '35 Chinna Katha Kaadu' with a message-oriented approach, highlighting flaws in the educational system. He also explores how teachers should interact with students and the dynamics between spouses. The first half is filled with humor and family emotions, which are engaging. The chemistry between Nivetha Thomas and Vishwadev, portraying middle-class life, is well depicted. The school environment and the challenges faced by students are convincingly shown. Emotional scenes in the family in the second half are touching. However, the film’s pace can be slow at times, and the lack of commercial elements and some dialogues might not hit the mark with all viewers. Technically In the technical department, the music and cinematography are well-executed. Vivek Sagar’s background score is a significant plus, enhancing the emotional scenes. The editing is decent, though a tighter cut in some dragging scenes would have been beneficial. The production values are high, reflecting a no-compromise approach in terms of quality. Plus Points - Engaging narrative - Performances by Nivetha and Priyadarshi - Emotional scenes Minus Points - Slow narration - Lack of high points in the story Telugu.yousay.tv Rating : 3/5

    Weekend Collections: Heading Toward Disaster for ‘Mr. Bachchan’ and ‘Double Ismart’... NTR's Brother-in-Law Dominates 4-Day Collections!
    To coincide with Independence Day, several big films hit the screens on August 15. The movies 'Double Ismart' featuring Ram and directed by Puri Jagannadh, and 'Mr. Bachchan' starring Ravi Teja and directed by Harish Shankar were among the releases. Additionally, the Tamil star Vikram's 'Thangalaan' and NTR's brother-in-law's film 'Aay' also premiered on the same day. Prior to their release, the films of Ravi Teja and Ram generated massive hype. However, post-release, they failed to meet expectations and disappointed in terms of collections. On the other hand, 'Thangalaan' and 'Aay' received positive reviews and are doing well at the box office. Let's take a look at the 4-day collections of these four films and see which one is leading the pack. Disastrous Collections for Mr. Bachchan! Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja, paired with actress Bhaghyashri Borse, starred in the latest film ‘Mr. Bachchan,’ directed by Harish Shankar. This action entertainer, released on August 15, failed to impress the audience as expected, resulting in dismal first-day collections. It grossed only ₹5.3 crores worldwide. The second day brought in ₹1.75 crores, and the third day saw similar figures. By the fourth day, the movie's collections had dropped from crores to lakhs, grossing only ₹65 lakhs worldwide. As a result, ‘Mr. Bachchan’ managed to collect just ₹7.50 crores in its first four days. Double Ismart Collections Headed for Disaster! The second film from the energetic star Ram Pothineni and director Puri Jagannadh combo, 'Double Ismart,' is the sequel to their previous blockbuster 'Ismart Shankar.' The film, which features Kavya Thapar as the lead actress, opened to decent figures, grossing ₹12.45 crores worldwide on its first day. However, negative talk quickly spread, leading to a drop in collections. The second day saw the film gross just ₹2.25 crores worldwide. Over the next two days, it managed to bring in ₹1.5 crores and ₹1.9 crores respectively. In total, 'Double Ismart' collected ₹16 crores in its first four days. Thangalaan's 4-Day Collections South Indian star Vikram's 'Thangalaan,' directed by Pa. Ranjith, also released on August 15. The film, produced by K.E. Gnanavel Raja, received positive word-of-mouth on its first day, grossing ₹26.44 crores worldwide. Over the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, it continued to perform solidly, bringing its total four-day worldwide gross to ₹65 crores. The fact that it achieved this level of success without even releasing in the North has garnered widespread praise. 'Thangalaan' is set to release in the North on August 30. With positive talk in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, the film is expected to continue its strong box office performance this week. ‘Aay’ Moves Into Profits! NTR’s brother-in-law Narnne Nithiin starred in the latest film 'Aay,' which was released on August 15. Despite competing with big films, ‘Aay’ stood its ground and garnered positive talk. The film has been performing well at the box office. On its first day, it grossed ₹2 crores and maintained that momentum on the second day. Trade sources reported that the film earned ₹1.20 crores on the third day and increased to ₹1.46 crores on the fourth day. With total collections of ₹7.20 crores in its first four days, 'Aay' became the first Independence Day release to enter profit territory.

Nevertheless, it managed to gross Rs. 5.3 crores worldwide on its first day, with Rs. 1.8 crores coming from the premiere shows held on August 14, as stated by trade sources. The film faced significant trolling right from the first show, which reportedly affected its collections. However, given the long weekend, recovery isn’t ruled out. Bhagyashri Borse starred alongside Ravi Teja, marking her debut in the Telugu film industry with this movie. Thangalaan Tops! 'Thangalaan,' starring Tamil star hero Vikram, topped the release day earnings among all the films, collecting a massive Rs. 26.44 crores (GROSS) worldwide, as officially declared by the producers.

Made on a budget of Rs. 8 crores, the film’s appealing opening day collections have left the film unit in high spirits, anticipating profits by the end of the weekend.

    Niharika Konidela's 'Committee Kurrollu': A Vibrant Tapestry of Love, Politics, and Village Festivities
    Niharika Konidela's 'Committee Kurrollu': A Vibrant Tapestry of Love, Politics, and Village Festivities
    Cast: Sandeep Saroj, Yashwant Pendyala, Eshwar Rachiraju, Trinath Varma, Prasad Behara, Tina Shravya, Radya Suresh, Tejashwi Rao, Saikumar Director: Yadhu Vamsi Music: Anudeep Dev Cinematographer: Raju Eduroulu Editor: Anwar Ali Producer: Niharika Konidela Release Date: 09-08-2024 Niharika Konidela’s latest production, 'Committee Kurrollu,' has been released. The film features lead roles by Sandeep Saroj, Yaswanth Pendyala, Eshwar Rachiraju, Trinath Varma, and Prasad Behara, with Sai Kumar, Goparaju Raman, and others in significant roles. Directed by Yadhu Vamsi, the film hit theaters on August 9. Let's find out how the film has been received, if it has captivated audiences, and if it has brought success to producer Niharika Konidela in this review. Plot In Purushottampalli village of Godavari district, the Bharinkaalammatalli Jatra is celebrated once every 12 years. This festival, known as 'Bali Cheta,' holds great significance. This time, the festival coincides with the local Panchayat elections, prompting Sarpanch Polisetty Bujji (Sai Kumar) to face competition from Shiva (Sandeep Saroj), who decides to enter the fray. A tragedy at the festival 12 years ago, which resulted in the death of one of Shiva’s friends due to a caste conflict, leads to a resolution in the Panchayat to halt all election campaigning until the festival concludes. What happens next? How does the issue of reservations disrupt Shiva's gang? Did the friends who separated 12 years ago reunite? What role does Sarpanch Polisetty Bujji play? Did Shiva win the election as Sarpanch? Performances In this film, 11 young actors play the lead roles. Sandeep Saroj as Shiva, Trinath Varma as Subbu, Eshwar Rachiraju as William, and Yashwant Pendyala as Surya have all made commendable efforts to engage the audience with their distinct performances. The acting experience of Sai Kumar, Goparaju Raman, and Kancherapalem Kishore adds depth to the story. Prasad Behara's performance as the elder is captivating; he brings much humor to the comedic scenes and deep emotion to the dramatic ones. The other cast members have also performed commendably within their roles. Direction Director Yadhu Vamsi navigates the storyline set in the 90s, delicately touching upon the sensitive topic of reservations in society. The screenplay attempts to weave together friendship, love, caste issues, and politics. The dialogues, written in the local dialect of Godavari, and the vividly crafted festival scenes are particularly engaging. The first half progresses swiftly with typical Godavari-style comedy, and the interval builds intrigue. In the second half, the focus shifts more towards emotional scenes, though it feels slower compared to the first half. The scenes leading up to the climax offer a satirical take on today's political leaders. The love stories in the film are left somewhat unresolved, the resolution of the reservations issue is abruptly concluded, and some scenes feel unnecessarily stretched, which could be seen as drawbacks. Technically On the technical front, Anudeep Dev’s music stands out as a highlight of the film, especially the background score during the festival scenes. Cinematographer Raju’s camera work is commendable. The editing is adequate. The production values are high, showing that Niharika Konidela did not compromise on the budget. Plus Points - Story setting - Godavari style comedy - Festival scenes Minus Points - Slow-paced narration - Incomplete love narratives - Abrupt handling of the reservations issue Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

However, his plans unravel when Nandini leaves him at the altar for another man. Heartbroken and on the brink of despair, Raghav's life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Anandi (Nabha Natesh). The two quickly fall in love and marry, but on their wedding night, Raghav discovers that Anandi has multiple personality disorder, hosting five distinct personalities: Aadi, Maya, Jhansi, Papa, and Srisri. The unfolding challenges Raghav faces with Anandi’s complex condition promise a story filled with intrigue and emotion. To uncover the full story, one must head to the theaters. Performance Priyadarsi, once again, charms as Raghav, fitting perfectly into his role with his distinctive comedic timing, delighting the audience. Nabha Natesh excels in a challenging role with various facets, carrying the film on her shoulders with a career-best performance. She brilliantly displays the variations of her split personalities. The funny scenes between Nabha Natesh and Priyadarsi are engaging, though the dubbing for Nabha Natesh's role could have been better. Supporting actors like Ananya Nagalla and Muralidhar Goud play their parts within limits. Guest appearances by Suhas, Brahmanandam, and Niharika Konidela also shine. Direction Director Aswin Ram attempts to present the complex concept of multiple personality disorder in a humorous light. The first half is swiftly paced with sequences of wedding preparations, a halted marriage, a suicide attempt, and the quick marriage to Anandi all unfolding in an entertaining manner. While the first half thrills and amuses the audience, the story seems to dull down in the second half. The backstory of the heroine and the repetitive narrative might bore the audience. The climax is particularly confusing. Despite the innovation, director Aswin Ram struggles to keep the film engaging throughout. Technically On the technical front, the cinematography is a major plus for the film, providing fresh visuals. Vivek Sagar’s music, however, does not make a significant impact. The editing could have been tighter. The production values are high, with no compromises on the budget.

    Diverse and Bold: Young Telugu Heroes Redefining Cinema with Unique Script Choices
    Telugu cinema's young heroes are being particularly careful with their choice of scripts, showing interest only if the story offers something new. Otherwise, they unhesitatingly reject routine stories, setting an example that even veterans like Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, Ravi Teja, Ram Pothineni, Nithiin, and Gopichand could take note of. Young actor Suhas is soon to appear in a unique story titled 'Gorre Puranam'. This backdrop has reignited discussions about the innovative subjects young heroes are choosing. Who are these young heroes bringing new stories to life? What movies have they done? Let's delve into this special report.

Teja Sajja Starting as a child actor, Teja Sajja transitioned to a lead role with 'Zombie Reddy'. Despite his first film establishing him as hero material, subsequent diverse films like 'Ishq' and 'Adbhutham' did not earn much fame. However, he achieved a solid hit nationally with 'Hanuman', directed by Prasanth Varma. This success resonated well, enhancing Teja Sajja's reputation. Currently, he's involved in another pan-India film titled 'Miraya', where Manchu Manoj plays the villain. The already released teaser of 'Miraya' has raised expectations.

Vishwak Sen Vishwak Sen, known among the youth as a mass hero, has been careful to ensure diversity in his films from the start. His initial movie 'Vellipomakey' didn't make a big splash, but 'Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi' brought him significant youth following.

His roles in 'HIT', 'Paagal', 'Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam', 'Ori Devuda', 'Das Ka Dhamki', 'Gaami', and 'Gangs of Godavari' further cemented his status as a star in Telugu cinema.

He's currently working on the sequel to 'Goodachari', expected to be a pan-India release, poised to further boost his career if successful. Siddhu Jonnalagadda Starting with a role in Naga Chaitanya’s debut 'Josh', Siddhu Jonnalagadda didn't see much career growth despite diverse roles in movies like 'Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu', 'Orange', and 'Guntur Talkies'. However, he struck blockbuster success with 'DJ Tillu', and its sequel continued this trend. The sequel, 'Tillu Square', notably grossed ₹135 crore. He is currently acting in 'Jack' and 'Telusu Kada', with 'Tillu Cube' also in the pipeline. Narne Nithiin Junior NTR’s brother-in-law, Narne Nithiin made his debut with the youthful entertainer 'MAD', which was a success at the box office and connected well with the youth due to its college backdrop. His subsequent film 'Aay', set in a village backdrop, showcased his diversity and was also successful. After a subdued presence in 'MAD', Nithiin’s performance in 'Aay' was much improved, excelling in acting, dance, and comedy, and effectively conveying emotions.
