      ARM Movie Review: A Gripping Performance but a Predictable Plot.
      ARM Movie Review: A Gripping Performance but a Predictable Plot.
      Cast: Tovino Thomas, Krithi Shetty, Aishwarya Rajesh, Surabhi Lakshmi, Basil Joseph, Jagadish, Kabir Duhan Singh, and others Director: Jithin Lal Writer: Sujith Nambiar Music: Thibu Ninan Thomas Cinematography: Jomon T. John Editing: Shameer Muhammad Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas has also gained recognition in Telugu cinema. His lead roles in ‘Minnal Murali’ and ‘2018’ have been successful in Telugu as well. His latest film 'ARM' has now been released, featuring Tovino Thomas and Krithi Shetty in lead roles. In Malayalam, the film is titled ‘Ajayante Random Motionam’ (ARM), which translates in Telugu to ‘Ajayan’s Second Theft.’ How did the pan-India release 'ARM' fare? Did it enchant the Telugu audience? Has Tovino Thomas scored another hit? Let’s find out in this review. Plot Ajay (Tovino Thomas) lives a simple life in his village, doing small jobs and living with his mother (Rohini). His grandfather Maniyan (Tovino Thomas) was once a notorious thief, which leads villagers to suspect Ajay whenever a theft occurs. Meanwhile, the Sreebhuthi Lamp (an idol) in the village temple, more valuable than gold, attracts the attention of Sudeva Varma (Harish Uthaman), who plans to steal it and frame Ajay for the theft. However, Ajay’s family has been protecting this lamp for generations. How does Ajay save it this time? What is the history behind the idol? What role does the legendary hero Kunjikelu (Tovino Thomas) play in this history? What about Ajay’s love track with Lakshmi (Krithi Shetty)? You have to watch the movie to find out. Performances Tovino Thomas impressively portrays three different roles. His portrayal as the heroic Kunjikelu, with significant battle scenes, is captivating. His performance as grandfather Maniyan is also commendable, showing great versatility across his roles, from heroic to serene in Ajay’s character. Each character variation highlights his depth in acting. Krithi Shetty delivers a fine performance as Lakshmi, embodying a 90s girl perfectly. Surabhi Lakshmi’s role is engaging, appearing in a dual capacity that adds to the narrative. Rohini and Harish Uthaman’s characters are pivotal to the storyline. Direction Despite being his debut, director Jithin Lal’s execution of a story intertwined across three generations is clear and engaging. The entry of the legendary Kunjikelu accelerates the pace of the film with his heroics and the boon he asks from the king after saving the kingdom, followed by revelations that add intrigue. The portrayal of Maniyan’s character by the director stands out, particularly how he discovers where the lamp is and plans its theft. The confrontational scenes when Maniyan and Ajayan’s paths cross are emotionally powerful. However, other characters lack impact, a weak love track, predictable plot points, and a feeble climax detract from the film. Technically Technically, the film is high-quality. Thibu’s background score and songs add a fresh flair to the film. Jomon T. John’s cinematography is captivating. The editing is adequate, and the production values are high. Plus Points - Tovino Thomas’s acting - Historical backdrop - Music Minus Points - Predictable storyline - Weak climax Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

      Jr NTR: Mind-blowing Future Projects – Four Major Films in Two Years!
      Jr NTR: Mind-blowing Future Projects – Four Major Films in Two Years!
      Among the few heroes who can truly shake the box office, Jr. NTR stands out. Whenever he releases a movie, all previous records are expected to be sidelined. The mere presence of NTR on the big screen sends fans into frenzies of excitement. It has been over two and a half years since his last film, and he hasn’t greeted audiences since ‘RRR’ in 2022, leaving fans eagerly awaiting his next projects. NTR is set to return with 'Devara' on September 27. Moreover, to fully satisfy the high expectations of his fans, he is preparing several exciting projects. Over the next two years, he plans to release no less than four major-budget films. The lineup of NTR's future projects is sure to astound anyone. A Feast for Fans! From 2018 to August 2024, the only movie NTR released was ‘RRR’, which sufficiently bridged any gap left by its massive success. Now, he is set to appear in a series of upcoming films, starting with ‘Devara’ directed by Koratala Siva. The next two years will see him releasing four pan-India films, offering a big treat to his audience. After making noise with 'Devara', he will entertain fans with the Bollywood movie 'War 2', sharing the screen with star hero Hrithik Roshan. There’s also a sequel, 'Devara 2', in NTR’s lineup. Recently, the highly anticipated project 'NTR 31' directed by Prashanth Neel was kicked off. This film, expected to be released for Sankranti 2026, is also rumored to include another movie directed by Shouryuv under the 'Hi Nanna' banner, which also appears to have pan-India scope. All in all, NTR seems to have planned at least four film releases over the next two years. Is This the Story of 'NTR 31'? The long-awaited project by NTR and Prashanth Neel started on Friday (August 9) with a ceremonial pooja. Observations of the new poster for NTR31 suggest that the film’s plot revolves around an opium mafia narrative set between China and India around 1969. The Kolkata port, being close to the Golden Triangle, was then a hub for opium smuggling. This facilitated frequent skirmishes between the local gangs and the active Chinese mafia in Kolkata. These links reportedly extended all the way to Southeast Asia and even Europe. Currently, there’s strong buzz that Prashanth Neel is shaping the NTR31 project around these points. The film unit needs to provide clarity on these details. Dual Roles for Tarak! There’s exciting news about the upcoming 'NTR 31' project under the combination of Tarak and Prashanth Neel. According to the buzz, NTR will be performing dual roles. One of the characters is a 75-year-old man, a role he has never played before, while the other character will be that of a mafia don. Mythri Movie Makers are expected to start shooting this film in September, with an official announcement anticipated soon. Currently, Prashanth Neel is busy with the pre-production work. The Title Decided! The film NTR 31 is considering an intriguing title, ‘Dragon’, which has been under deliberation for some time. The term ‘Dragon’ in European languages signifies evil, chaos, and the ability to breathe fire, making it a powerful name. Given that Tarak will portray a character with negative shades, this title would perfectly match the film’s intensity. An official announcement regarding the title confirmation is expected very soon.

      Mirzapur Season 3 Review: A Powerful ‘Mirzapur 3’?
      Mirzapur Season 3 Review: A Powerful ‘Mirzapur 3’?
      Cast: Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, Shweta Tripathi, Vijay Varma, Rasika Dugal, Harshita Gaur, Shaji Chaudhary, and others. Directors: Gurmeet Singh, Anand Iyyer Cinematographer: Sanjay Kapoor Producer: Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani Release Date: July 5, 2024 OTT Platform: Amazon Prime Mirzapur has achieved significant success as an OTT crime thriller series. The first season premiered in 2018, with a second season following in 2020. Both seasons surpassed expectations with their bold content and engaging dialogues, capturing the attention of the youth and setting high expectations for a third season. The much-anticipated third season, 'Mirzapur Season 3,' is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime. This season includes 10 episodes and is available in Hindi, Telugu, and several other South Indian languages. Did this season meet the high expectations?  What Happened in the Previous Seasons? In the first season of Mirzapur, Guddu Bhaiya (Ali Fazal) and Bablu Pandit (Vikrant Massey) worked for Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi). The season ended tragically with Guddu losing his brother and close ones to Munna, Kaleen Bhaiya's son. In the second season, Guddu avenges their deaths by killing Munna and attacking Kaleen, who manages to escape. Season 2 concludes right where Season 3 begins. What’s the Story in Mirzapur Season 3? In Mirzapur Season 3, Guddu Bhaiya emerges as the new don of Mirzapur with the support of Beena Tripathi (Rasika Dugal) and his sister, Golu (Shweta Tripathi). Sharad Shukla and Shatrughan, who had saved Kaleen Bhaiya in the previous season, also aim for the throne of Mirzapur, leading to a conflict between Sharad and Guddu. Meanwhile, Munna's widow, CM Madhuri (Isha Talwar), joins forces with Sharad to weaken Guddu. On the other hand, Kaleen Bhaiya makes an unexpected return to the fray for Mirzapur’s throne. How did Guddu handle these dire situations? Did Guddu succeed even after shooting Kaleen? Did CM Madhuri achieve her goal of overthrowing the throne of Mirzapur? Watch Season 3 to find out. Performance Reviews Ali Fazal delivers a compelling performance as Guddu Bhaiya, carrying the season on his shoulders. Shweta Tripathi, as Golu, does not disappoint, enhancing her role from the previous seasons. Rasika Dugal breathes life once again into the character of Beena Tripathi. Isha Talwar impresses as the CM, following closely after Fazal and Vijay Varma in capturing the audience's attention. Pankaj Tripathi, although appearing in fewer scenes, leaves a mark with his signature acting style. The rest of the cast justly fulfills their roles. Directional Insights Compared to previous seasons, this installment showcases more political drama. The directors have skillfully crafted the series with intense and thrilling action-packed episodes. The strategic moves in the battle for Mirzapur are intriguingly presented, with engaging twists and suspenseful factors. However, the typical violence associated with the Mirzapur series is noticeably toned down this season. The absence of Munna's character and the reduced scope for Kaleen Bhaiya's role are significant drawbacks. Additionally, with episodes lasting 45-50 minutes, some may feel the series drags at times. The lack of bold dialogues, a draw for the youth in previous seasons, might disappoint some viewers. A lack of curiosity about what comes next also marks a failure on the directors’ part. Without expectations, Mirzapur Season 3 is engaging, but it might seem lackluster compared to previous seasons. Technically… Technically, all departments have performed well. The background music, in particular, stands out, adding depth to the scenes. The cinematography is decent, though the editing could have been tighter. The production values are high. Plus Points - Strong performances from the main cast - Political drama filled with twists - Engaging background music Minus Points - Lack of anticipated action scenes - Dragging scenes - Absence of bold dialogues that previously attracted the youth Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

      Samantha: Similarities to the Life of Legendary Actress Savitri?
      Samantha: Similarities to the Life of Legendary Actress Savitri?
      It is well known that Tollywood actor Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and star heroine Samantha got married in 2017 and separated in 2021 due to disagreements. Three years later, Naga Chaitanya is ready to remarry, this time to actress Sobhita Dhulipala. In this context, netizens are sympathizing with Samantha, intertwining her current situation and past incidents with the life of the legendary actress Savitri. They are drawing parallels between Sam's life and that of Savitri, posting about it extensively. Let’s explore what these posts are suggesting. What’s the Connection Between Samantha and Savitri’s Life? In 2021, during her divorce from Naga Chaitanya, Samantha was heavily targeted by the public. However, now that Chaitanya is preparing for his second marriage, netizens are expressing their sympathy towards Samantha on a large scale, comparing her situation with that of Savitri, who was a celebrated actress. At the peak of her cinema career, Savitri’s life was influenced by the already married actor Gemini Ganesan. By that time, Ganesan’s career was moderate compared to Savitri’s. Savitri, deeply in love, married Ganesan but later found him intimately involved with another woman. Unable to bear the betrayal, she fell into depression and became dependent on alcohol, which led to numerous health issues and prematurely ended her career. Netizens speculate that Samantha might have undergone a similar ordeal? They suggest that these struggles drove Samantha to divorce Chaitanya. https://twitter.com/vamccrishnaa/status/1822085950098505895/ ‘What’s So Special About Sobhita?’ If Samantha Does It, It’s Wrong… If Sobhita Does It, It’s Right? Samantha was heavily criticized for her bold roles in films, which some claimed were the reason for her divorce. Now, there’s a keen interest in Sobhita's screen presence as Naga Chaitanya prepares to marry her. Netizens are pointing out that Sobhita has acted in more bold scenes than Samantha, citing her roles in the bold web series 'Made in Heaven' and her intense performances in 'The Night Manager', where she appeared in bikini and intimate scenes. Recently, in 'The Monkey Man', Sobhita was again seen in bold portrayals. This has led to questions about why Naga Chaitanya would divorce Samantha for being bold in her roles, only to marry Sobhita, who has portrayed even bolder scenes. Did You Know This About Sobhita? Sobhita Dhulipala was born in Tenali, Andhra Pradesh. She became the Femina Miss India in 2013. She entered the Bollywood scene with the 2016 movie 'Raman Raghav 2.0'. Following that, she gained recognition with movies like 'Chef' and 'Kaalakaandi'. In 2018, Sobhita made her Tollywood debut with 'Goodachari', charming the Telugu youth audience. She then played key roles in 'Major' and 'Ponniyin Selvan 1 & 2', earning praise for her performances. Recently, she acted in the American film 'Monkey Man'. She is currently involved in a Hindi film titled 'Sitara', while Naga Chaitanya is busy with 'Tandel', directed by Chandoo Mondeti. Naga Chaitanya’s Reaction Is This! Amidst the heavy trolling over his engagement with Sobhita, Naga Chaitanya responded. On Instagram, he reposted the engagement photos and an interesting caption shared by Sobhita. He added, "What does my mother become to you? What relation is my father to you? No matter how we come together, our hearts are raining like the red earth. They have merged inseparably," quoting from a poem by the Tamil poet Kurunthogai. This post, supported by Akkineni, has left Sam's fans quite upset.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sobhita (@sobhitad)

      Kalki 2898 AD Day 1 Collections: Increased Ticket Prices still missed to beat RRR.
      Kalki 2898 AD Day 1 Collections: Increased Ticket Prices still missed to beat RRR.
      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' directed by Nag Ashwin and starring pan-India star Prabhas, was released worldwide on Thursday, June 27th, and is receiving rave reviews everywhere. With the positive talk coming from all sides, audiences are showing great enthusiasm for this movie. As 'Kalki' becomes a super hit, everyone's attention is now focused on its first-day collections. The film, a visual wonder in the mythology-futuristic genre, was estimated by trade circles to collect over ₹200 crores on its first day. Did 'Kalki' reach that mark? How did Prabhas' mania impact the box office? What all-time record did 'Kalki' create in the US? Let's find out in this review. Day 1 Collections All eyes are currently on the Day 1 collections of 'Kalki 2898 AD.' The production house, Vyjayanthi Movies, has officially announced the first day's earnings. The makers declared that 'Kalki' amassed ₹191.5 crores (GROSS) worldwide on its first day. They also released a special poster with the caption "Let's Celebrate Cinema." Initially, trade circles had predicted that 'Kalki' would collect over ₹200 crores on its first day, with analyses suggesting that all previous Day 1 records would be broken. However, 'Kalki' narrowly missed the ₹200 crore mark. Despite this, industry experts predict that 'Kalki' will surely join the ₹500 crore club by the end of this weekend. All-Time Record Prabhas' 'Kalki' is creating a sensation in North America. The local audience is impressed by the performances of Prabhas and other top stars. Consequently, 'Kalki' set an all-time record in North America. It garnered a whopping $3.8 million from North American premieres, the highest collection for an Indian film in that region. 'Kalki' has thus achieved the distinction of being the first Indian film to earn this much. Following 'Kalki' are 'RRR' ($3.46 million), 'Salaar' ($2.6 million), and 'Baahubali 2' ($2.45 million). Overseas Collections Combining premieres and first-day collections, trade circles report that 'Kalki' collected $5 million on its first day in America. Among Telugu films, 'Kalki' secured the 5th position for the highest collections in just one day. It also set a record as the fastest film to collect $5 million. If these collections continue, 'Kalki' is expected to set a benchmark overseas. Experts predict that the collections will increase further over the weekend. 'RRR' Record Safe! According to trade figures, 'Kalki 2898 AD' could not surpass the 'RRR' record. 'RRR' collected ₹223 crores (GROSS) on its first day, making it the top Indian film in terms of Day 1 collections. As per trade estimates, 'Kalki 2898 AD' halted at ₹180 crores, leaving the 'RRR' record intact. 'Baahubali 2' stands in second place with ₹217 crores. While 'Kalki' couldn't break these records, it surpassed the records of 'KGF 2' (₹164.5 crores), 'Salaar' (₹158 crores), 'Adipurush' (₹136.8 crores), and 'Saaho' (₹125.6 crores) to secure a place in the top three. Match Effect on Collections The 'Kalki 2898 AD' team lagged in promoting the film on a grand scale like 'Baahubali 2' and 'RRR.' If they had done extensive promotions, the movie might have created new records. The T20 World Cup also affected the film's collections. The audience's interest in watching the India-England semi-final match on Thursday evening turned into a slight disadvantage. Additionally, Thursday being a working day impacted 'Kalki's' collections. However, with positive talk everywhere, the collections of 'Kalki' are expected to increase significantly over the weekend. Top 10 Highest Opening Day Collections in India 1. RRR (2022)  Directed by S.S.
