SDT 18: Mega Hero's Biggest Project Yet—Will It Shatter Records?
Mega hero and Chiranjeevi's nephew, Sai Durgha Tej, alias Sai Dharam Tej, has carved a unique niche for himself in the industry. He's known for selecting diverse stories and has been riding high on success. Last year, with 'Virupaksha,' Tej hit the ₹100 crore club and captivated audiences alongside Pawan Kalyan in 'Bro'. Since 'Bro', he hasn't taken on any projects, being very selective about his scripts. In this sequence, the announcement of the 'SDT18' project has infused full enthusiasm among his fans.
Courage as His Armor...
A new project announcement has come from Supreme Star Sai Durgha Tej. On the occasion of this young hero's birthday today, a new movie was announced. It will be made under the working title 'SDT 18'. Along with this announcement, the film team released a making video and a poster. K Niranjan Reddy and Chaitanya Reddy, who have produced blockbuster films like 'Hanuman', are producing this film. Rohit KP is set to debut as the director. The poster, released with the caption "This person, who has made courage his armor and hopes for his weapon, stands for everyone. This is just the beginning", shows Sai Durgha Tej's back with a muscular physique.
https://twitter.com/Primeshowtweets/status/1846065983091536150
A Story Set in Rayalaseema...
'SDT 18' is being made on a budget of nearly ₹120 crores, making it the most expensive film in Sai Durgha Tej's career. Directed by Rohit KP, this period action drama is rumored to unfold between 1947-67. Set against the backdrop of Rayalaseema, the story details are kept under wraps. According to a making video released, extensive sets have been built to recreate a vintage village. A glimpse of heroine Aishwarya Lekshmi was also shown in one shot. Tej is set to appear in a powerful, mass-driven role, undergoing a complete makeover for this film. The makers are planning to release this film in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.

From Accident to Recovery...
Introduced as a Mega family hero, Sai Dharam Tej has proven himself as a successful actor among Mega heroes. In the midst of his career momentum, Sai Durgha Tej experienced an unexpected accident, which shocked both his family and fans. After the accident, he fell into a coma but eventually recovered from this life-threatening situation. Following his recovery, Tej not only achieved significant success with 'Virupaksha' and 'Bro' but also stabilized his personal and professional life.

Chiranjeevi and Trisha Reunite in 'Vishwambhara': A Magical Comeback 18 Years in the Making!
The big-budget film "Vishwambhara," starring Megastar Chiranjeevi, is currently under production, directed by the acclaimed director of "Bimbisara." The film features prominent star actress Trisha as Chiranjeevi's co-star. The ensemble cast includes Ashika Ranganath, Ramya Pasupuleti, Surbhi, Isha Chawla, and Ashrita Vemuganti. The movie's shooting is vigorously progressing in Japan, and a recent exciting update from the set is currently trending online.
A Romantic Song with Trisha!
The "Vishwambhara" team is presently in Japan for a 15-day shooting schedule. Several critical scenes have already been filmed. According to the latest buzz, Chiranjeevi and Trisha are shooting a duet that is expected to dazzle their fans. Sources say that Chiranjeevi’s makeover gives him a much younger look, reminiscent of his appearance from 20 years ago, and the chemistry between him and Trisha is reportedly phenomenal. Following this song's shoot, the film crew will return to Hyderabad. The hype around this Chiranjeevi-Trisha song has fans very excited.
The Same Magic 18 Years Later!
This isn't the first time Chiranjeevi and Trisha have paired up; they first co-starred in the 2006 film "Stalin." Since then, they haven't appeared together until now, reigniting interest with their reunion in "Vishwambhara." Their pairing received high praise during "Stalin," and now, the industry is abuzz with what magic they will bring on screen this time. Interestingly, Trisha was initially announced as the heroine for Chiranjeevi's "Acharya" but withdrew just before shooting began.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1849101610762522837
2025 Summer Release Anticipation
The Chiranjeevi and Vashisth combo's "Vishwambhara" is set to release in the summer of 2025. Initially, it was slated for a Sankranti release on January 10th, next year, but was postponed to make way for Ram Charan's "Game Changer" to premiere during the festive period. "Vishwambhara" is expected to be a grand release in May 2025, reminiscent of Chiranjeevi's past socio-fantasy entertainers like "Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari" and "Anji."
2024: A Year of Unforgettable Memories for Chiranjeevi
This year has been memorable for Chiranjeevi, who received three distinct awards. He was honored with the prestigious ANR National Award last month, presented by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan in the presence of the Akkineni family. In June, he was awarded the Padma Vibhushan, India’s second-highest civilian award, by the President. His family, including his wife Surekha, son Ram Charan, daughter-in-law Upasana, and daughter Sushmita, attended the ceremony. Chiranjeevi also secured a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for his impressive contribution to cinema, featuring in 156 films and performing in 537 songs with over 24,000 dance steps.

Ananya Nagalla Joins Mega Hero Sai Dharam Tej in 'SDT 18': A Big Leap for Her Career!
Ananya Nagalla is one of the few Telugu heroines in Tollywood who debuted as a lead actress with the movie 'Mallesham.' Since then, she has charmed Telugu audiences by consistently starring in a series of films, sometimes as the main heroine and sometimes in character roles. Her recent film 'Pottel' as the lead actress has garnered positive talk, and her performance was highly praised, although there has been a longstanding belief among Telugu viewers that despite her good roles, Ananya hasn't received the opportunities she deserves. Amidst this, she has landed a bumper offer, much to the delight of her fans.
With the Mega Hero..!
Sai Dharam Tej is currently working on his latest film 'SDT 18,' produced by K. Niranjan Reddy and Chaitanya Reddy, known for blockbuster films like 'Hanuman.' This film marks the directorial debut of Rohit KP. In this film, Telugu actress Ananya Nagalla is playing a significant role, officially announced by the makers, who also released her first look poster. The production company Prime Show Entertainment welcomed her, stating, "Welcome the talented Ananya Nagalla, who continues to impress with diverse roles," showing her in the poster dressed as a traditional Telugu girl, captivating everyone with her smile.
https://twitter.com/Primeshowtweets/status/1855937397583953941
Mega Hero Romance!
In 'SDT 18,' Aishwarya Lekshmi is already cast as the heroine. The recent glimpses of the film highlighted her look. With Ananya Nagalla joining the project, there is speculation about the role she will play. It seems likely that she will be the second heroine, and she is expected to have key scenes with Sai Dharam Tej, possibly including romantic scenes. More details about her role are expected to be revealed soon by the film team.
An Inspiration for Newcomers!
To succeed as a heroine in the industry, it's crucial to star alongside leading heroes—a fact well-known to Ananya Nagalla, perhaps more than to any other actress. She made her entry as a heroine with 'Mallesham' in 2019 and then starred in a successful science fiction movie 'Playback.' Although she played a key role in Pawan's 'Vakeel Saab,' it did not break her typecast, leading her to side characters in various films. Whenever opportunities arose, she proved herself as a heroine, recently ascending another step in her career with films like 'Tantra' and 'Pottel.' Her efforts to star in films with star heroes have finally borne fruit with 'SDT 18,' which recognized her talent and gave her a significant role. Analysts say this success will undoubtedly elevate Ananya's career to a new level, inspiring the current generation of Telugu girls.
Set in the Backdrop of 1947-67...
'SDT 18' is being produced on a budget of nearly Rs. 120 crores, making it the highest-budget film in Sai Dharam Tej's career. Directed by Rohit KP, this periodic action drama unfolds in the backdrop of 1947-67 and is set in the Rayalaseema region. Recent making videos released show extensive sets built for the film, highlighting the rustic village settings of the olden days. A glimpse of heroine Aishwarya Lekshmi was also shown in one of the shots. Tej will be seen in a powerful, mass-driven role and has undergone a major makeover for this. The makers are working to release the film in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.
https://twitter.com/IamSaiDharamTej/status/1846068731665174954
Rising Like a Wave...
Having made his entry into the industry as a mega nephew, Sai Dharam Tej has proven his mettle and emerged as a successful actor among the mega heroes. At the height of his career, he unexpectedly met with an accident, plunging his family and fans into concern. He later recovered from a coma, a life-threatening situation, and has since managed to stabilize both his personal and professional life. Following the accident, he achieved significant victories with films like 'Virupaksha' and 'Bro' and officially added his mother's name, changing from Sai Dharam Tej to Sai Durga Tej.

Ram Charan's Dargah Visit Sparks Debate Amid Ayyappa Mala Controversy: Fans and Critics Clash Online
Renowned music composer A.R. Rahman invited actor Ram Charan to visit the Kadapa Dargah on Monday (November 18), where he inaugurated the 80th National Mushaira Ghazal (Urdu poet) conference. Initially, along with director Buchi Babu Sana, Charan visited the Vijaya Durga Devi Temple in Kadapa. There, he placed the script of his upcoming movie ‘RC16’ at the deity’s feet and conducted prayers. Later, at the dargah, Charan shared his connection with the place from his ‘Magadheera’ times. However, his visit to the dargah while wearing the Ayyappa mala has become controversial, with several netizens opposing it on social media. Mega fans are responding robustly to the criticisms.
Warm Welcome for Charan..
Mega Power Star Ram Charan (Ram Charan Kadapa Dargah) left Hyderabad Begumpet Airport to Kadapa on Monday night (November 19) at 7 PM. Upon arrival at the Kadapa airport, fans gave him a grand welcome. Aware of his arrival, a large number of Mega fans and Janasena workers created a buzz at the airport. As soon as Charan stepped out, he was greeted with loud cheers. He then headed to the Durga Devi Temple, followed by a large convoy of fans who celebrated his visit enthusiastically. Fans who arrived at the temple and dargah before Charan also gave him a grand welcome there. Videos related to this have gone viral on the internet.

Widespread Trolls on the Net
Currently, Ram Charan is wearing an Ayyappa mala. In this context, his visit to a dargah associated with another religion while wearing the mala is being questioned by many. They are accusing him of disrespecting both Hindus and Muslims. Some comments suggest that religious obligations must be adhered to by everyone, regardless of their status. They question if Rahman would accept an invitation to visit Tirumala, posing, "Can Rahman go there?" and argue that Charan has lost respect due to this single act.

Strong Responses from Charan’s Fans!
Charan's fans are vigorously defending him against the trolls on the internet. They are clarifying that this isn’t the first time someone wearing an Ayyappa mala has visited the dargah. They remind people that devotees first visit the Vavar Juma Masjid in Erumeli before heading to the sacred Sabarimala. They also share videos related to this. Some question if the Constitution prohibits Hindus from visiting other religious sites, noting that prominent figures like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UP CM Adityanath have visited dargahs because they respect other religions. Fans criticize the trend of using celebrity issues to gain popularity, stating that it has become quite fashionable recently.

'Devara' Sets a New Record, Surpassing 'RRR' at the Box Office – Jr NTR’s Reign Continues!
Directed by Koratala Siva and featuring Jr NTR as the hero, the film 'Devara: Part 1' is creating a storm at the box office. Despite being released 18 days ago, the film's momentum hasn't slowed down. It broke even in all areas shortly after release and continues to perform strongly. Even though there was some negative talk on the first day, it did not impact the collections. Having already set several records, the film recently achieved another milestone by surpassing the record set by Rajamouli’s 'RRR'. Moreover, it accomplished a feat that even global star Prabhas hasn’t achieved yet.
A New Chapter in Telugu Cinema!
The film 'Devara', starring Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor, has set another box office record. In 18 days since its release, it has consistently brought in more than a crore each day in AP and Telangana. This film has become the first Telugu film post-COVID to achieve such a feat, a record previously held by 'RRR' for 17 consecutive days of similar earnings. Now, Jr NTR's impact has broken that record. Reports suggest that even Prabhas' recent films (Radhe Shyam, Adipurush, Salaar, Kalki 2898 AD) did not achieve this milestone, highlighting Tarak’s strong pull at the box office.
https://twitter.com/AndhraBoxOffice/status/1846039904913863146
How Much Did Devara Collect?
The film 'Devara' grossed ₹509 crores worldwide in just the first 16 days, as officially announced by the makers. Adding the collections of the last two days, it is expected to reach ₹520 crores. The combined gross for AP and Telangana has been ₹222.60 crores. Karnataka contributed ₹17.70 crores, Tamil Nadu ₹4.13 crores, Kerala ₹97 lakhs, and Hindi + Rest of India ₹33.55 crores. If the trend continues, reaching ₹550 crores seems easily feasible. It remains to be seen how far this film will go in the long run.
Has the Streaming Date Been Set?
Netflix has acquired the digital streaming rights to 'Devara' for a substantial amount. With 18 days past since the film’s theatrical release, everyone is eagerly awaiting its OTT release. The latest buzz suggests that 'Devara' might hit OTT as a Diwali treat. An official announcement is expected soon. If it doesn’t happen by Diwali, the release is likely in the second week of November. Netflix secured the rights for ₹150 crores, with a contract to stream the movie 50 days post-theatrical release.
'NTR 31' Loading!
Following the blockbuster success of 'Devara: Part 1', it is known that Jr NTR will collaborate with Prashanth Neel in the upcoming 'NTR 31'. Initially expected as a sequel, Prashanth Neel has decided to make 'NTR 31' a single part film, surprising everyone. Tarak will reportedly play a farmer from Bangladesh, with the entire story set against a Bangladeshi backdrop. The heroine has also been confirmed for this movie, with Kannada beauty Rukmini Vasanth set to star opposite Jr NTR. She is currently working with Nikhil in 'Appudo Ippudo Eppudo'.

In 2015, Nayanthara starred in Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, directed by her now-husband Vignesh Shivan, with Dhanush as the producer. The movie brought many fond memories to Nayanthara, including significant acclaim as an actress and the love of her life. She wanted to highlight this film in her documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale. For this, she sought Dhanush’s permission to use content related to the film. However, after two years of no response, Dhanush sent legal notices over the use of three seconds of footage from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in the documentary’s promo. This enraged Nayanthara, prompting her to write an open letter criticizing Dhanush. She expressed heartbreak over his actions, urging him to show kindness not just in words but through actions.

Love Reddy Movie Review: A Heartwarming Tale of Love and Honor
Cast: Anjan Ramachandra, Shravani Reddy, N.T. Ramaswami, Ganesh D.S., Ravi Kalabrahma, Vani Gouda, and others.
Written and Directed by: Smaran Reddy
Music by: Prince Henry
Cinematography by: Mohan Chari, Askar Ali
Editor: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao
Producer: Hemalatha Reddy
Release Date: October 18, 2024
Anjan Ramachandra and Shravani Reddy lead in Smaran Reddy’s 'Love Reddy', with N.T. Ramaswami, Ganesh D.S., Ravi Kalabrahma, and Vani Gouda in supporting roles. The film, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, garnered high expectations among the audience, especially after the recent trailer spiked interest. Let’s see how it fared with the audience as it released on October 18.
The Story
Narayana Reddy (Anjan Ramachandra), at 30, is still unmarried. Despite numerous matchmaking attempts by his family, he rejects every proposal, claiming none of the girls meet his expectations. One day, he falls in love with Divya (Shravani Reddy) at first sight on a bus. Transforming into 'Love Reddy', he sees her as his world. Divya befriends Narayana but rejects his love proposal. Even though she likes Love Reddy, why did Divya reject him? What twist does Divya's entry bring to Narayana Reddy’s life? Does their love story end happily? The film must be watched to find out.
Performance Analysis
All actors in 'Love Reddy' are relatively new. Anjan Ramachandra impresses as the lovelorn Narayana Reddy, especially given that this is his first film, captivating with his natural acting. Shravani Reddy justifies her role as Divya. N.T. Ramaswami, playing Divya's father, catches everyone’s attention, especially with the twist he introduces in the climax. Jyothi Madan, as the girl who likes the hero, and the actor playing the hero’s brother, among others, performed well within their roles.
Direction Analysis
Director Smaran Reddy has crafted a pure love story revolving around the critical issue of honor and prestige. Though the story is routine, it's presented with a natural flair of Andhra-Karnataka locality. Starting with a matchmaking scene, the director makes the narrative engaging once the protagonist becomes 'Love Reddy'. However, his efforts to express his love come off as somewhat clichéd. The curiosity of whether Divya will reciprocate Love Reddy's feelings keeps the first half engaging. The second half, dealing with the rejection of his love and the reasons behind it, connects well with today's youth. The last 20 minutes are emotionally driven, making the climax particularly impactful. Overall, Smaran Reddy has marked a good score as a director.
Technical Aspects
On the technical front, Prince Henry's music is a major strength to the film, bringing scenes to life with his distinctive background score. The songs are appealing. The cinematography is commendable, richly presenting each frame. The editing is adequate, and the production values are high.
Plus Points
- Acting
- Emotions
- Music
Minus Points

Veekshanam Movie Review: A Gripping Thriller on Curiosity and Consequences
Cast: Ram Karthik, Shining Kashvi, Nakshatra Naina, Chitram Srinu, Dayanand Reddy, Gandhi Sammet, Naga Mahesh, Shining Fani, and others.
Director: Manoj Palleti
Music: Samarth Gollapudi
Cinematography: Sairam Uday
Editor: Jaswin Prabhu
Producers: Padmanabha Reddy, Ashok Reddy
Release Date: 18-10-2024
The latest film 'Veekshanam' features Ram Karthik and Kashvi as the lead pair. Directed by Manoj Palleti, it is produced by P. Padmanabha Reddy and Ashok Reddy under the banner of Padmanabha Cine Arts. The released trailers and teasers have already heightened expectations. The film was released on October 18. How did it fare? Did it captivate the Telugu audience? Let's find out.
What's the story?
Arvin (Ram Karthik), who lives in a gated community in Hyderabad, has a keen interest in knowing what his neighbors are up to. He often uses binoculars to peer into their plots. During this, he falls in love with Neha (Kashvi) he sees in one house. As tensions arise between them, Arvin shifts his focus to another house where he spots a suspicious-looking girl. People come and go from her house daily. When he decides to learn more by visiting her house, he shockingly finds the girl dead, and it appears she has been so for eight months. Who was the girl Arvin saw every day? Who was visiting her house? Was it suicide or murder? To find out, you have to watch the movie.
How did they perform?
Ram Karthik perfectly fits the role of an average young man, captivating as someone curious about his neighbors. He impressed with both his acting and action sequences. Kashvi, as the heroine, marked her presence with her glamour, confidently delivering her performance despite it being her debut. Bindu Noothaki also stood out in a significant role, making a strong impact despite limited screen time. Gandhi Sammet, Chitram Srinu, and Naga Mahesh made their presence felt even in brief appearances. Other cast members performed well within their roles.
How's the direction?
Many people show more interest in others' affairs than their own, a concept director Manoj Palleti effectively shapes this movie around. The first half feels routine with the love track between the hero and heroine. However, from the interval, the director escalates the intrigue. The movie maintains this tempo till the end, thrilling both the protagonist and the audience with ongoing murders and the revelation that the suspected girl had died eight months ago. Some scenes might feel slow, but the director keeps the main story engaging. The climax particularly stands out from the routine films of recent times, establishing Manoj Palleti as a promising director in his debut film.
Technically Speaking
On the technical front, music director Samarth Gollapudi excelled. His background score elevates the scenes beautifully, and the songs also capture the audience's interest. The cinematography is impressive. Editing could have been tighter to enhance the film's pacing. Production values are commendable.
Plus Points
- Story and narration
- Ram Karthik's acting
- Music
Minus Points
- Some scenes are boring
- Editing

In Hyderabad, he studied commerce at St. Mary’s College. Chay has mentioned in interviews that he was never brilliant in academics, describing himself as an average student.
At 38, Naga Chaitanya (HBD Akkineni Naga Chaitanya) looks incredibly fit and doesn’t show his age. However, during his teenage years, he weighed around 98 kilograms and was quite chubby.
Because of his weight, he was often teased and called "Dumbu" by people around him. Interestingly, the Daggubati family, rather than the Akkineni side, reportedly pampered him a lot.
Becoming a hero wasn’t a childhood dream for Naga Chaitanya. Even during his degree days, he lacked clarity about his career. His interest in films grew as he accompanied his father to film shoots.
When he expressed his desire to enter films, Nagarjuna supported him, reportedly advising him to lose weight first.
Taking his father’s advice seriously, Naga Chaitanya focused on fitness and lost significant weight. He also trained for 18 months at an acting school in California.
Thus, in 2009, Naga Chaitanya (HBD Akkineni Naga Chaitanya) made his debut with "Josh." His career took a turn for the better with "Ye Maaya Chesave," which became a landmark film for him.
Naga Chaitanya is known for staying away from social media, making him one of the least active Telugu actors online. Initially, he even avoided mainstream media interviews.
He often says that sharing on social media compromises privacy. Chay firmly believes in keeping his personal life private.
Though he appears soft and calm, Naga Chaitanya loves racing. He skillfully handles high-speed bikes and cars.
Initially, he aspired to be a racer and even participated in a few competitions, according to his close friends. However, he eventually gave up on this dream for various reasons.
Even though he didn’t become a professional racer, Chay still considers himself a racer. Collecting racing cars has become a passion for him, and he enjoys high-speed drives in his leisure time.
Currently, his garage houses speed monsters like Ferrari, Nissan GT-R, Porsche Panamera, Porsche Cayenne, and Range Rover Vogue. He also owns racing bikes like MV Agusta and BMW.
Fitness is a priority for Chay (HBD Akkineni Naga Chaitanya). He regularly works out and has set up a home gym to stay in shape.
Chay is known for being reserved. His friends often say that anyone who spends a few minutes talking to him can sense this quality.
Chay has very few friends in the industry. His best friend is actor Daggubati Rana, with whom he shares a bond that transcends family ties.
Rana once mentioned in an interview that he nicknamed Chay "Sweet Kid" because of his kind nature and personality, adding that anyone would like Chay.
When it comes to food, Naga Chaitanya loves butter chicken. He ensures it’s on his plate at least twice a week.
Naga Chaitanya (HBD Akkineni Naga Chaitanya) has a favorite phrase, though it’s hard to notice unless you pay attention. That phrase is "You know."
During his teenage years, Naga Chaitanya reportedly had a crush on a Bollywood actress. She’s none other than Katrina Kaif.
After dating actress Samantha for seven years, Chay married her in October 2017. Unfortunately, their marriage ended in divorce in 2021 due to unavoidable reasons.
Naga Chaitanya got engaged to actress Sobhita Dhulipala on August 8, 2024. Their grand wedding is scheduled for December.
On the work front, Chay is set to collaborate with "Virupaksha" director Karthik Dandu for an upcoming project. On his birthday (November 23), a poster for this movie was released.

Jithender Reddy Movie Review: A Bold Take on Naxalism and Patriotism - Does Rakesh Varre Shine?
Cast: Rakesh Varre, Riya Suman, Chatrapathi Shekhar, Subbaraju, Ravi Prakash, Chatrapathi Shekhar, and others
Director: Virinchi Varma
Music: Gopi Sundar
Cinematography: V.S. Gnanashekar
Editor: Ramakrishna Arram
Producer: Muduganti Ravinder Reddy
Release Date: November 7, 2024
The latest political action film starring Rakesh Varre is 'Jithender Reddy,' directed by Virinchi Varma, known for 'Uyyala Jampala.' This movie is based on true events from the 1980s and is inspired by the life of an RSS volunteer. How does the film fare? Does it captivate the Telugu audience? Let's find out.
What's the Story
Set against the backdrop of real events in the unified Karimnagar district of Jagtial in the 1980s, Jithender Reddy (Rakesh Varre) grows up in a family of RSS volunteers. From a young age, Jithender is drawn to RSS ideologies, passionate about serving the country, religion, and people. One day, a young boy, not yet 18, is unjustly killed by Naxalites. This incident incites Jithender, then a college student, against the comrades. He realizes that Naxalites, who claim to bear arms for the people's welfare, have strayed from their path. What kind of struggle does Jithender Reddy wage against the Naxalites? How does ABVB robustly counter the deeply entrenched PDSU in educational institutions? What services does Jithender Reddy provide as a college student leader and a champion against injustices in the region? That's the story.
Performances
Rakesh Varre fits perfectly into the role of Jithender Reddy, captivating as an RSS volunteer. His acting, especially in scenes intended to inspire the public, is commendable. Compared to his previous films, he has shown significant maturity in acting. Overall, it can be said that Rakesh Varre has put in considerable effort for this film. The actor who played the PDSU leader did well. Subbaraju’s performance as an RSS volunteer and Chatrapathi Shekhar’s role as a Naxalite leader are impressive. The rest of the cast performed adequately within their roles.
Direction
So far, Telugu cinema has portrayed Naxalites from a positive angle. However, for the first time, director Virinchi Varma bravely showcases the dark side of Naxalism. He vividly illustrates how Naxalites obstructed governmental progressive works. He also depicts how Naxalites ruthlessly killed volunteers working for the oppressed classes. The hero's reaction to the atrocities committed by the comrades and his ensuing fight against them is intriguingly captured. The director initially focuses on college politics, then touches on mainstream political angles post-interval. He also attempts to define what a true political leader should be through the character of Jithender Reddy. Overall, the director succeeds in clearly and pointedly conveying his message. However, a slow-paced first half, lack of commercial elements, and a predictable storyline can be seen as drawbacks.
Technically..
Technically, the background score is impressive. Although the songs are somewhat burdensome, one song in the climax touches the heart. The cinematography is good, and the editing work is decent. The production values are high and suitable for the storyline.
