Editor: Chota K. Prasad



Producer: Maheshwara Reddy



Release Date: August 01, 2024



The latest film starring Ashwin Babu, who is the brother of well-known anchor and director Ohmkar, is titled 'Shivam Bhaje.' Digangana Suryavanshi plays the lead female role. Directed by Abdul Apsar Hussain, the movie also features notable actors such as Hyper Aadi, Arbaaz Khan, Murali Sharma, Tanikella Bharani, and Brahmaji in significant roles. The promotional materials, trailer, and teaser have significantly raised expectations for this film, which was released on August 1. Let's explore how the film fared and whether it succeeded in captivating the audience.







Plot



Chandu (Ashwin Babu) works as a loan recovery agent. During his job, he falls in love with Shailaja (Digangana Suryavanshi), who works in a chemical lab. Due to an incident, Chandu loses his sight. Following a dramatic event blessed by Lord Shiva, an operation restores his vision. However, after regaining his sight, Chandu begins to see various visuals. Whose eyes did Chandu receive? What are these visuals he sees? Why does a mere recovery agent end up fighting with enemy nations? What deed did Chandu perform with the grace of Lord Shiva? What role does Dogra (a dog) play in the story? To find out, one must watch the movie.







Performances



Ashwin Babu delivers a remarkable performance in the role of Chandu, showcasing great versatility across two dimensions. Digangana Suryavanshi captivates the audience as Shailaja. The chemistry between Ashwin and Digangana is effectively established. Bollywood actor Arbaaz Khan impresses in his role as a police officer, and comedian Hyper Aadi elicits laughter with his impeccable timing. Seasoned actors Brahmanandam and Murali Sharma mesmerize with their performances, while other actors adequately fulfill their roles.







Direction



Director Abdul Apsar Hussain commendable intertwines mystery and devotional elements. Some suspense scenes in this crime drama are quite engaging. The storyline woven around international espionage also pleases, though the screenplay falters at times. The narrative could have been presented more effectively on screen. The subplot involving murders seems rather weak. Chandu's character could have been made more powerful. Some scenes lack logical coherence. The slow pace of the story and a lack of engaging elements in the first half are drawbacks. Unrelated scenes test the audience's patience.







Technically



On the technical front, Dasarathi Shivendra’s cinematography is impressive. He beautifully presents key scenes, especially in the second half. Vikas Badisa’s music is decent. Chota K. Prasad’s editing is also commendable. The production values are high.







Plus Points



- Ashwin Babu’s acting



- Suspense scenes



- Climax



Minus Points



- Slow narration



- Lack of engaging elements



- Irrelevant scenes

Shivam Bhaje Movie Review


Cast: Vishwak Sen, Meenakshi Choudhary, Shraddha Srinath, Sunil, Naresh, Hyper Aadi, Harsha Vardhan, and othersWriter &amp; Director: Raviteja MullapudiMusic: Jakes BejoyCinematography: Manoj Reddy KatasaniEditing: Anwar AliProducer: Ram TalluriRelease Date: November 22, 2024



Young hero Vishwak Sen has already impressed Telugu audiences this year with Gaami and Gangs of Godavari. Now, he returns with Mechanic Rocky, aiming to charm audiences once again. The film, co-starring Meenakshi Choudhary and Shraddha Srinath, was released grandly on November 22 under the direction of Raviteja Mullapudi. Let’s see how the film turned out and whether Vishwak scored a hat-trick.







The Plot



Rocky (Vishwak Sen) drops out of his B.Tech and joins his father Ramakrishna's (Naresh) garage as a mechanic. Alongside repairing vehicles, he also teaches driving. Maya (Shraddha Srinath) and Priya (Meenakshi Choudhary) join him to learn driving. During his college days, Rocky falls for Priya, but they part ways after he quits his studies. Years later, Rocky meets Priya again. Does he get closer to her? What shocking truths does Rocky discover about Priya? How does Maya influence their lives? Who is Ranki Reddy (Sunil), and what problems does he bring into Rocky’s life? The answers lie in the film.



The Performances



Vishwak Sen delivers yet another settled performance, impressing audiences with his energetic portrayal. His punchlines bring humor and charm to his character. Meenakshi Choudhary and Shraddha Srinath shine in their significant roles, with their chemistry and expressions stealing the spotlight. Their on-screen competition in certain scenes enhances the narrative. Vishwak and Meenakshi's chemistry works well, and their romantic track is engaging. Supporting actors like Sunil, Naresh, and Harsha Vardhan also have impactful roles, with Harsha Chemudu’s comedy bringing occasional laughs.







Direction



Director Raviteja Mullapudi combines a love triangle with a crime thriller, aiming to connect with today’s audience. While the story has strong elements, excessive commercial touches and unnecessary comedy dilute the impact. The first half focuses on character introductions, love tracks, and songs, making it feel somewhat routine and stretched. However, the second half gains momentum, with unexpected twists and turns that elevate the film. The narrative effectively portrays how middle-class dreams can be exploited by others. Had the first half been more engaging, the film could have become a blockbuster.



Technical Aspects



From a technical standpoint, the film excels. Jakes Bejoy’s background score significantly enhances the storytelling. The cinematography is top-notch, capturing the essence of the film’s mood. However, the editing in the first half could have been sharper. The production values are impressive and align well with the film’s tone.

Cast: Rakesh Galebhe, Sravanthi Pattipati, Manasa Veena, Bhargav Gopinatham, Karthik Khandal, Aadi Naidu, Shiva Juturi, and others



Director: Komal R. Bharadwaj



Music: Gyani



Cinematography: Taylor Blumel



Editor: Chota K. Prasad



Producers: Hiranya, Padma, Komal R. Bharadwaj



Release Date: November 8, 2024



'Rahasyam Idham Jagath' stars Rakesh Galebhe, Sravanthi Pattipati, Manasa Veena, Bhargav Gopinatham, and others in key roles. Produced by Padma and Hiranya Ravinuthala under Single Cell Universe Production and directed by Komal R. Bharadwaj, the movie hit theaters today (November 8). Promoted as a film featuring elements of time travel and a multi-universe concept, let’s find out how this film fares.







What's the Story



The story takes place in America. Akira (Sravanthi) and her boyfriend Abhi (Rakesh) plan a trip to India. Before leaving, they decide to go on a trip with old friends (Vishwa, Kalyan, and Aru). They end up in a remote forest village where Akira’s ex, Vishwa, also joins them. Due to heavy snowfall, they are forced to stay the night in a local hotel. One of Akira’s friends, Aru, a scientist, is researching the concept of the multi-universe. A fight ensues, and Abhi ends up killing Akira and Kalyan. At this point, Aru reveals that there is a way to the multi-universe in the village. Desperate to bring his friends back to life, Abhi starts searching for a wormhole to the multi-universe. What happens next? Does Abhi find the wormhole? Can he save his friends? Do Abhi and Akira end up going to India? This is the story.







Performance&nbsp;



Rakesh, known for his hit short films, shines as the lead, particularly in his scenes traveling through the wormhole. Sravanthi impresses as Akira, while Aru fits well in the role of the scientist. Bhargav provides some laughs, and Karthik performs well in a negative role. The fact that the entire shoot took place in America, with training influenced by Hollywood, is evident in the actors' performances. The rest of the cast delivered well within their roles.







Direction



Director Komal R. Bharadwaj seems to have drawn inspiration from Hollywood films like Inception and Interstellar. However, he creatively connects these concepts with events from Indian mythology to resonate with the local audience. The way he links the multi-universe to the Sri Chakra and the wormhole is intriguing. The first half is mostly about the friends’ trip and conflicts, with the multi-universe element introduced right before the interval. In the second half, Abhi’s search for the wormhole and his time travel to save his friends are depicted. The interval scene and climax add strength to the film. However, the heavy use of American actors, the Hollywood-inspired scenes, and dialogues that lack a local touch are notable drawbacks.







Technical Aspects



Technically, the film stands out with its impressive visuals and cinematography, especially in the forest locations. However, the background music often overpowers the dialogues. The songs are decent, though dubbing could have been more refined. Production values are high, complementing the film’s theme well.

Telugu Mind-Bender 'Rahasyam Idham Jagath' Takes on Hollywood! 🌀 Time Travel Meets Sri Chakra in This American-Shot Thriller


Movie: Lucky Baskhar



Cast: Dulquer Salmaan, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Ramki, Maanasa Choudhary, Hyper Aadi, Surya Srinivas, and others



Music: GV Prakash Kumar



Editing: Naveen Nooli



Cinematography: Nimesh Ravi



Producers: Suryadevara Nagavamshi, Sai Soujanya



Written and Directed by: Venky Atluri



Release Date: October 31, 2024



This Diwali, the film 'Lucky Baskhar' made some noise. As a pan-India film featuring Dulquer Salmaan, it held a special appeal for Telugu audiences. What makes this Dulquer-Venky Atluri combination film special? Let’s find out if the hero gets lucky in this story.



Plot:



Baskhar Kumar (Dulquer Salmaan) is a regular bank employee from Mumbai, juggling his responsibilities towards his family comprising his wife Sumathi (Meenakshi Chaudhary), son, father, sister, and brother. He struggles with debts while hoping for a promotion that seems more like a dream. Despite his efforts, all seems to fail. Eventually, Baskhar takes a significant risk to support his family. The story unfolds how he faces the consequences of this risk.







What’s the Film Like?



After a long time, a Telugu film revolving around banking and the stock market has emerged, with the infamous Harshad Mehta scandal of the 90s as a crucial element. Director Venky Atluri intricately weaves the everyday struggles of middle-class families with their financial integrity into the narrative. The twists and characters resonate closely with the audience. Initially, the film portrays the challenges faced by Baskhar’s family and his humiliations, followed by his efforts to overcome these hurdles, which renew his zest for life.



Baskhar’s risks, the problems he faces, and his clever ways of handling them thrill the audience. Notably, the interval scenes and the complications faced by Baskhar in the first half are captivating. However, some scenes in the second half might seem a bit confusing. Topics like the stock market and shares may not be easily comprehensible to the general audience. The transformation in Baskhar’s life and his efforts to resolve family issues are engaging.







Who Did Well?



Dulquer Salmaan excels in the role of Baskhar, embodying a middle-class individual wonderfully. Meenakshi Chaudhary brings authenticity to her role as Sumathi. Ramki, Sachin Khedekar, and others justify their roles well.







Technical Aspects:



Technically, the film is superior. GV Prakash Kumar’s music is a crucial asset, with his background score adding hype to the story. Nimesh Ravi’s cinematography transports the ambiance back to the 90s Mumbai. Venky Atluri’s skill in character development and managing the narrative twists makes the film stand out, showcasing the production values without compromise.







Strengths:



Strong storyline



Dulquer Salmaan’s performance



Background music and twists



Weaknesses:



Some scenes in the second half



Final Words:



‘Lucky Baskhar’ is a smart thriller with an engaging backdrop. Dulquer Salmaan captivates in the role of Baskhar, delivering emotional elements that touch the audience. Despite some slower scenes in the second half, the narrative’s thrilling elements and interesting characters draw the audience closer.



Rating: 4/5


Lucky Baskhar Review: From Bank Clerk to RISK TAKER: Dulquer's 'Lucky Baskhar' is the PERFECT Diwali Blast! 🎯"


Cast: Raj Tarun, Manisha Kandkur, Abhirami, Ammu Abhirami, Hyper Aadi, Goparaju Ramana, Srikanth Iyengar, Krishna Bhagavan, VTV Ganesh, Singeetam Srinivasa, Leela Samson, Rachcha Ravi, and others.



Director: J. Sivasai Vardhan



Music: Shekhar Chandra



Cinematography: Nagesh Banell



Producer: N.V. Kiran Kumar



Presented by: Maruthi



Release Date: 13-09-2024



Raj Tarun stars in the recently released film 'Bhale Unnade!' with Manisha Kandkur as the heroine, directed by J. Sivasai Vardhan. Produced by N.V. Kiran Kumar under the Ravi Kiran Arts banner and presented by Maruthi's team, the film's trailer and teaser have already garnered interest. This is Raj Tarun's third film released within a month. After the previous two films failed to impress, Raj Tarun has high hopes for 'Bhale Unnade!' How does the film fare? Did it bring success to Raj Tarun? Let's find out in this review.







Plot



Radha (Raj Tarun) works as a saree draper in Visakhapatnam. Raised by his mother Gauri (Abhirami) after his father's early death, he helps her out. Krishna (Manisha), a new employee at the bank where Gauri works, becomes close to Gauri. Krishna enjoys the lunch boxes Radha prepares for his mother and falls in love with Radha's cooking without even seeing his face. Similarly, Radha falls for Krishna through the letters she sends with the lunch box without meeting her. As they prepare for marriage with their elders' consent, Krishna's friend reveals something shocking at the engagement. This raises doubts about Radha's suitability. What happens next? What test does Krishna set for Radha? Why does Radha keep a distance from women? Did their wedding take place?







Performance



Raj Tarun, as Radha, is captivating throughout the film. His acting has more scope compared to his previous films, and his emotional expressions are compelling. Manisha looks beautiful as Krishna, and their chemistry is well-portrayed. Abhirami, as the mother, captures the audience's attention. Even though Singeetam Srinivasa appears only in a few scenes, he leaves a strong impact. Ammu Abhirami, Goparaju Ramana, and Srikanth Iyengar play their parts within their limits. Hyper Aadi and Nellore Sudarshan provide occasional comic relief. The rest of the cast performed adequately within their roles.







Direction



Director J. Sivasai Vardhan crafted this film with a concept of how modern society and women perceive a man aspiring to be like Lord Rama. The first half flows pleasantly with the love track between the hero and heroine and the bond between mother and son, anchored around the lunch box as a medium of their love letters. The twist at the engagement concludes the first half. The second half takes Radha on a background of why he distances himself from women, although it drags compared to the first half. The tests imposed on the hero in a Kerala ashram and the antics of Srikanth Iyengar do not pan out well. The way Radha and Krishna break up also lacks novelty. The climax is another weak point of the film.







Technically



Technically, the cinematographer does a great job with vibrant and fresh visuals. Shekhar Chandra’s music does not leave a lasting impression. The background score is passable, and the editing is fine. The production values are high.







Plus Points



- Raj Tarun's acting



- Story background



- First half



Minus Points



- Lack of commercial elements

Raj Tarun's Bhale Unnade Movie Review:  A Beautiful First Half Fades Into Predictability


Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi's inappropriate comments comparing Prabhas’ look in the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD' to that of a joker have sparked intense controversy. Prabhas' fans are expressing their outrage, accusing Bollywood of failing due to such ego and jealousy. Telugu heroes have also reacted strongly to Arshad Warsi's remarks, standing in support of Prabhas. Young heroes Sudheer Babu and Aadi have delivered sharp counters in response. Let’s take a look at the details.



What Exactly Happened?



Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi recently made some remarks during an interview. While discussing the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD,' he vented his jealousy towards Prabhas. Arshad stated that he had watched 'Kalki' but did not like it. He compared Prabhas' role unfavorably to that of Amitabh Bachchan’s character Ashwatthama, claiming that Prabhas' presence on screen made him feel bad. "Prabhas... I feel sorry to say this. For some reason, his look resembled that of a joker. I want to see him in a Mad Max-style movie, like Mel Gibson. I still don’t understand why they did this," Arshad said. Prabhas' fans have been vocal in their displeasure over these comments.

Sudheer Babu’s Strong Counter!



Telugu hero Sudheer Babu responded to Arshad Warsi's comments on Prabhas in his unique style. While stating that criticism is not wrong, he condemned Warsi's loose talk on the social media platform X. Sudheer Babu expressed his surprise that such unprofessional comments would come from someone like Arshad Warsi and asserted that such small-minded comments could never touch a monumental figure like Prabhas. Sudheer Babu’s remarks have also gone viral online, with Prabhas' fans supporting his stance.




https://twitter.com/isudheerbabu/status/1825746561495871657




"Perhaps It's Envy Towards Prabhas"



Young hero Aadi Saikumar also responded to Arshad Warsi's comments in his own way, indirectly criticizing him without mentioning his name. Aadi wrote on X, "Prabhas is an actor without insecurity. Without him, there wouldn't even be a Kalki movie. I actually found his role quite amazing. Maybe it's envy towards him." This tweet has been widely shared by Prabhas' fans, who argue that it's inappropriate to speak ill of someone as genuine as Prabhas.




https://twitter.com/iamaadisaikumar/status/1825250706938380360




"It Seems Like the Pain of Fading Out"



Telugu director Ajay Bhupathi's post on Arshad Warsi's remarks has also gained attention. He wrote on X, "Prabhas is an actor who gives his all for cinema. He tries to elevate Indian cinema to the next level. I can see the jealousy you have towards him and his films in your eyes. There’s a limit to everything, and there’s a proper way to express your opinions. It seems like you're hurt by fading out." It’s worth noting that 'Kalki 2898 AD' has grossed over ₹1200 crores worldwide. The film features key roles played by Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone.

Prabhas Vs Arshad Warsi: Bollywood Actor's Criticism of Prabhas Sparks Strong Reactions from Telugu Heroes!


Cast: Satyadev, Daali Dhananjaya, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Amrutha Iyengar, Jennifer, Sunil, Satya, Sathyaraj, Suresh Chandra Menon, and othersDirector: Eashvar KarthicMusic: Ravi BasrurCinematography: Sathya PonmarEditing: Anil KrishProducers: S.N. Reddy, Bala Sundaram, Dinesh SundaramRelease Date: November 22, 2024



Satyadev and Daali Dhananjaya star in the film Zebra, directed by Eashvar Karthic of Penguin fame. Priya Bhavani Shankar and Amrutha Iyengar play the female leads. The movie is a white-collar crime drama that raised significant expectations, especially with Megastar Chiranjeevi himself participating in its promotions. Released on November 22, did Zebra live up to the hype? Did it finally deliver a much-needed hit for Satyadev? Let’s find out in this review.







The Plot



Surya (Satyadev), a middle-class man, works as a Relationship Manager at the Bank of Trust. He has a crush on his colleague Swathi (Priya Bhavani Shankar). One day, Swathi accidentally transfers ₹4 lakh to a wrong account. When she tries to recover the amount, the recipient claims to have spent it. To help Swathi, Surya steps in, but in the process, he unwittingly gets entangled in a ₹5 crore bank fraud. This chain of events leads him into a confrontation with Aadi&nbsp; (Dhananjaya), one of the state’s most dangerous individuals. How does Surya face Aadi ? What role does Aadi&nbsp; play in Surya’s life? How does the ₹5 crore fraud escalate, and does Surya manage to overcome these challenges? That forms the crux of the story.



The Performances



Satyadev shines once again in his role as Surya, proving his mettle as an actor. He seamlessly portrays a character that combines comedy, action, romance, and emotion. His performance elevates the film, but Dhananjaya also leaves a strong impression. As Aadi , Dhananjaya embodies power and menace, dominating the screen in several sequences. In some scenes, he even overshadows Satyadev. Priya Bhavani Shankar plays a significant role and performs convincingly, while Jennifer adds glamour to the narrative. Satya’s comedy timing is another highlight, though the supporting characters don’t leave a lasting impact as the story primarily focuses on the Surya vs. Aadi&nbsp; dynamic.







Direction



Director Eashvar Karthic skillfully handles the banking-related content, delivering a gripping narrative with a strong screenplay. His past experience as a bank employee adds authenticity to the storytelling. The film effectively exposes the fraudulent practices within the banking system, though certain aspects lack conviction. For instance, the protagonist earning ₹5 crores within four days feels implausible, and resolving a ₹100 crore problem with just an email stretches logic. However, for audiences willing to overlook such inconsistencies, Zebra offers an engaging experience. The intense battle between Satyadev and Dhananjaya, along with Satya’s comedy and impactful dialogues, serve as major highlights.



Technical Aspects



From a technical standpoint, Zebra impresses. Ravi Basrur’s background score is a significant asset, especially elevating the action sequences. However, the songs fail to leave a lasting impression. Sathya Ponmar’s cinematography captures the narrative’s essence beautifully, while the editing is adequate. The art department excels in recreating the bank setting, and the production values are top-notch.







Strengths



Engaging story and screenplayPerformances by Satyadev and DhananjayaRavi Basrur’s background music



Weaknesses



Illogical sequencesSongs that feel forced into the narrative

Strong Counter from Telugu Heroes



Sudheer Babu recently responded to Arshad Warsi’s comments about Prabhas in his unique style.

Young actor Aadi Saikumar also criticized Warsi, indirectly scolding him and highlighting Prabhas's secure position in the industry. "Without Prabhas, there would be no Kalki movie. His role was truly marvelous, perhaps that's why they are jealous," he wrote on X.

Arshad Warsi: Nag Ashwin Responds to Comments


The current situation seems to be evolving into a Bollywood versus South India conflict. There are allegations that some Bollywood celebrities are struggling to accept the fact that South Indian films are creating a sensation on a pan-India level. In the past, national awards were mostly won by Hindi films, which also used to dominate in terms of box office collections. However, the situation has drastically changed over the past few years. Especially after "Baahubali," the influence of South Indian films at the Indian box office has significantly increased. Meanwhile, with the exception of one or two, Bollywood hasn't released films that made a significant impact. This has led to growing resentment and dissatisfaction among Bollywood actors toward South Indian films. In this context, Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi's use of derogatory language against actor Prabhas has sparked controversy. Recently, a South Indian star's harsh comments about Bollywood films have fueled speculations that a cold war has begun between Bollywood and South Indian industries.



‘Bollywood is Undermining Our Country’



Kannada star Rishab Shetty made controversial remarks about Bollywood. He claimed that Bollywood has portrayed our country in a negative light at international film festivals. He stated that he is trying to make films that the country can be proud of. In a recent interview, Rishab Shetty shared his opinion about Bollywood. "Some Indian films, especially Bollywood movies, portray our country negatively. Our films are invited to global events, and they roll out the red carpet for them. That's why I want to make sure I speak proudly about my country. I want to showcase the greatness of my country, my state, and my language to the world," said Rishab. These comments went viral, with some netizens supporting Rishab while others criticized him, sharing scenes from some of his past films.

Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi recently spoke in an interview. While discussing the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD,' he expressed his jealousy towards Prabhas. Arshad said that he watched 'Kalki' and didn't like the movie. He compared Prabhas's character unfavorably to Big B Amitabh Bachchan's character Ashwatthama, saying that Prabhas's role fell short. He mentioned feeling sad while watching Prabhas on screen, expressing his disappointment. "Prabhas… I feel bad saying this, but he looks like a joker. I want to see him in a Mad Max-style movie. He should be like Mel Gibson in it. I still don't understand why they made him look like that," he said. Prabhas's fans have expressed their displeasure over Arshad's comments.

Telugu Heroes' Strong Counter



Tollywood hero Sudheer Babu responded to Arshad Warsi's comments on Prabhas in his own style. He said that criticism is not wrong, but speaking without control is definitely wrong, criticizing Arshad on the X platform. Sudheer mentioned that he never expected such unprofessional comments to come from Arshad Warsi and made it clear that comments from people with such small minds cannot affect someone like Prabhas. Young actor Aadi Saikumar also condemned Arshad's comments, indirectly criticizing him without mentioning his name. "Prabhas, who has no insecurity, is the real deal. Without him, there wouldn't be a 'Kalki' movie. I thought his role was amazing. Maybe Arshad is just jealous," he wrote on X.

What Happened to Bollywood? : Allu Arjun



In recent years, South Indian films have been released on a pan-India level and achieved great success compared to Bollywood. Bollywood director Nikhil Advani recently shared interesting comments made by Allu Arjun about Bollywood. "In the past, I wanted to make a film with Allu Arjun. I met him for that purpose. He expressed his disappointment with the state of Bollywood. 'What happened to Bollywood? Why have you forgotten how to showcase heroes?' he asked. What he said is true—South Indian films showcase heroism and the key emotions in a way that connects the audience to the story. At one point, Bollywood produced many such films that achieved great success. Today, that element is missing in Hindi movies," said Nikhil.






Bollywood Vs South Industries: Has a Cold War Started Between Bollywood and South Industries?


Cast: Priyadarshi, Nabha Natesh, Brahmanandam, Vishnu, Krishna Teja, Ananya Nagalla, Muralidhar Goud, among others.



Written and Directed by: Aswin Ram



Music by: Vivek Sagar



Cinematography: Naresh Ramadurai



Dialogues by: Hemanth



Producers: K. Niranjan Reddy, Chaitanya Reddy



Release Date: July 19, 2024



The unique romantic comedy entertainer 'Darling' starring Priyadarshi and Nabha Natesh, and directed by Aswin Ram, has already captivated audiences with its promotional material. Produced under the banner of PrimeShow Entertainment by K. Niranjan Reddy and Mrs. Chaitanya Reddy, the film released worldwide on July 19th..







Plot



Since childhood, Raghav (Priyadarsi) has dreamed of marriage and a honeymoon. Working as an agent in a travel agency, he finally seems poised to realize this dream when he becomes engaged to Nandini (Ananya Nagalla), a psychologist chosen by his father (Muralidhar Goud). 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.







Plus Points



- Performances by Priyadarsi and Nabha Natesh



- Comedy



- Cinematography



Minus Points



- Second half



- Screenplay



- Music

'Devara', an action drama directed by Koratala Siva starring Jr. NTR with Janhvi Kapoor as the heroine. After many years, Jr. NTR performed dual roles in this film, portraying the characters Devara and Vara. Saif Ali Khan played the antagonist, while Prakash Raj, Srikanth, and Shine Tom Chacko played key roles.



The script was carefully crafted by Koratala, reflecting his experience with 'Acharya'. The dialogues in the film are particularly impactful and linger even after the movie ends.



The dialogues, especially those delivered by Jr. NTR, Prakash Raj, Saif Ali Khan, and Janhvi Kapoor, resonate well with their characters and are sure to draw cheers.

Saif Ali Khan's dialogue:



"Erra samudram kaadiki vachi raktham gurinchi matlaadutundava.. naaku chaavu gurinchi cheputundava"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Akkadi nunchi tappinchukunnna Ajay, Prakash Raj daggariki vellinappudu...&nbsp;&nbsp;



Prakash Raj dialogue: "Konda meedakocchi bhayapedudaam anukunnaava?"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Ajay: "Evadra nuvvu?"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Prakash Raj: "Singappa.. nuvvu digivachina konda meeda thoorpu dikkuna untanu."&nbsp;&nbsp;



Ajay: "Nenu ikkadiko panimida vachanu. Peddayanavi, mee vallaku oka maat cheppi oppinchagalava!"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Dialogues that come while traveling on a boat in the ocean…



When Ajay dives into the ocean for his diamond ring and gets frightened seeing the underwater cages, the dialogue delivered by Prakash Raj is really good.



Prakash Raj: "Vajrapu ungarm dorikinda? Samudramlo neeku kanuchchina dani bhayamto vajram gurtuku raale.! Ee bhayame neelanti vallu entha mandi vachina, entha aasha chupina, ikkada unnavaallu ee samudram joli ki matrame raaru."



The dialogue Prakash Raj delivers while introducing Devara makes the fans blow whistles.



Ajay: Kallu moosina, terisina samudramlo chusinde kanipistondi. Asalu evaru vallantha.. evaru chesaru idantha?&nbsp;&nbsp;



Prakash Raj: "Chala pedha katha saami, rakthamto sandrame erupekkina katha."&nbsp;&nbsp;



Ajay: "Evari katha?"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Prakash Raj: "Padi padi leche samudram meeda padakunda nilabadina vaadi katha.. maa Devara katha."&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Bhayam povalante devudi katha vinalaa, bhayam ante ento teliyalante Devara katha vinalaa."&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Kulam ledu, matham ledu, bhayam ledu, variki telisindi dhairyame."



The dialogues Devara speaks about his father to his son Varan in that context are also good.



Varam (Jr. NTR): Abba eppudu mee nanna kathalu, valla nanna kathalu chebutuntaav..! Maa nanna katha cheppu, Devara katha cheppu naaku!&nbsp;&nbsp;



Devara: Taruvatha taraniki cheppukunetantha kathalu kavuraa.. mee nayanavi. Maa nayanollaavi desam kosam poraadina veerula kathalu. Maavi.. evariki cheppukoleni cheekati kathalu, batikunnamane gani, bhavitaraalaku kathaluga cheppukunelaa ee batukulu marutaayo ledo maakuda teliyadu.



The dialogues in the scene where Devara first confronts the arms dealers are powerful.



Devara: Maa ayudhala leke indulo kuda ayudhalu unnayantav.&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Maa ayudhalu manchini chedu nunchi kaapadatanki puttay.. Mee ayudhalu manchini champadanki puttay."&nbsp;&nbsp;



Villain: Maatalu ekkuva avutunnay, samudram ekkala, samudram elala?



The dialogue NTR delivers when Konda in Devara's gang turns against them is superb.







JrNTR&nbsp; dialogues&nbsp;&nbsp;



Devara:&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Chese pani tappani telisina mana avasaram kosam chesstunnav anukunna, ippudu ade alavatuga maari tappudu panulu mana rakthamlo inkipoyayani ippude ardham avuta undadi."&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Manishiki batikenta dhairyam chaalu, champenta dhairyam kaadu." Kaadu kuudadhu ani meeru malli aa dhairyanni kuudagadite.. aa dhairyanni champae bhayanni avuta..!&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Devara adiginadante.. seppinadani&nbsp;&nbsp;



Ade seppinadante..."







Before the interval bang, there is an action sequence with NTR. Devara kills everyone who attacks him, turning the sea red with their blood. Then, the dialogues Devara writes on a rock really pack a punch.



Dhairyam ekkuvai tappudu panulu chesstunna, manollae kada maata chebite maarutaaru anukunna..&nbsp;&nbsp;



Kani, bhayam ante emito teliyani mrugaaluga maaripoyaaru ani ardhamai undadi.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Mee kallamundu unte bhagavantudiki, bhootaniki kuda bhayapadaru.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Anduke eeroju nunchi vallalekka mee nundi dooranga vellipoyi.. kanarani bhayanni ayita.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Bhayam marichi eppudaina tappudu panikosam sandram ekkite... sandram odduna itta pandabeduta..!"



"Devarani champalante saraina samayame kaadu, saraina ayudham kuda dorakala.."&nbsp;&nbsp;







Janvi Kapoor dialogues&nbsp;&nbsp;



Tanga (Janvi Kapoor) Varam (Jr. NTR) pirikitanam gurinchi cheppe dialogue comedy ga untayi.&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Vaadiki valla ayya roopam vachindi kani, raktham raale.. eppudu choodu pillatanam, pirikitanam vaaditho ettalage.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Naa maganni aamda dooram nunchi chusina.. lopala nunchi pongala.. uppongala!!"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Sorachepani champi 'Vara' teesukochadu ani friends cheppinappudu.. Tanga cheppe dialogue navvu teppistundi.&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Unde vaadilo.. unde aadilo..!&nbsp;&nbsp;



Naaku telsu.. intappati nunchi choosthundaga&nbsp;&nbsp;



Unde vaadilo!!"



The dialogue that Janhvi Kapoor says upon seeing young NTR is also hilarious.



Aaa aada aada.. veerudilekka aa nadaka choodu&nbsp;&nbsp;



Lopala pongi uppongutande..&nbsp;&nbsp;



Lopala



The conversation between NTR and Janhvi Kapoor when they first meet each other is romantic.







Tangam (Janvi Kapoor): "Endi itla vachinav?"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Varam (NTR): "Rayappa (Srikanth)to pani undi vachina."&nbsp;&nbsp;



Tangam: "Abbo appude maa ayyato matlaadedaka poyinava?&nbsp;&nbsp;



Eeroju naaku oopiri aagipoyela undi.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Naa veerudu ayudha poojaku siddhamavutunnada?"



During the weapon worship, when the villain (Saif Ali Khan) belittles young NTR after drugging him, the dialogue spoken by Rayappa (Srikanth) is powerful.



Rayappa Dialogues



Emi jaraganatlu andaru antha marachipote manchidi Baira..&nbsp;&nbsp;



Vallu aadu kalipina matthu manduke padinarante.. podduna kallaa matthu digalaa..&nbsp;&nbsp;



Kani, vallu mancham kuda digala..&nbsp;&nbsp;



Ayudha poojalo meeru vaadi kantalona berukune chusundaru..&nbsp;&nbsp;



Kani nenu vaadi debbalo odupu chusina!&nbsp;&nbsp;



Devara lekka balanni chusina&nbsp;&nbsp;



Vaadi balam vaadiki kuda teliyaka, ila andarni matthulo petti gelavaalanukovadam vaadi pasitanam.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Kani o rakamga mee andariki, ade manchidi.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Samudram meeda oka Devara unnadu chalu,&nbsp;&nbsp;



Konda meeda inkoka Devarani tayaru cheste adi meeke manchidi kaadu Baira.



Tangam (Janvi Kapoor dialogues):&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Naavalla kaavatla, andariki matthu mandu ichhi gelavadam aente.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Akka, naa mogudante.. samudra ala antha oohinchukunnanu nenu.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Vaademo.. odduku chere pilla ala maadiri unnadu."&nbsp;&nbsp;



Tangam snehiturali odaarcutu cheppe dialogue navvu teppistundi:&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Anni telisina danini chebutana, vinu.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Prati aadadanki... nachhinodu okaduntadu,&nbsp;&nbsp;



Vachhinodu inkoduntadu.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Vachhinodilo nachhinavadini choosukoni&nbsp;&nbsp;



Deepam arpesukoni kaapuram chesukunte&nbsp;&nbsp;



Batuku saafi ga saagipotadi."







Devara Climax Dialogues&nbsp;&nbsp;



In the climax, the dialogues that Prakash Raj tells Devara's wife, Jogula (Shruti Marathe), about Devara give goosebumps.



"Nee penimiti andarni vadilipetti eppudo poyinadu thalli.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Devara manalni vidichipetti eppudo chanipoyadu.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Inna ella ga andarni samudram pai tappu cheyakunda bhayapedutha undi.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Nee penimiti Devara kaadu... nee bidda Varam.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Chinnappati nunchi Devara cheppina kathalu vintoo perigi undademo.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Ee konda ni batikinchadaniki pedda kathani raasinaadu nee bidda.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Aa mrugaala mayalo padi gorra pilla la poyinadu anukunnaava?&nbsp;&nbsp;



Kaadu thalli, vaadini addupettukoni vellina vallu gorra pillalu.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Samudram lo eepatiki mrugani vetaadinaatu vetaadutuntadu nee bidda!"
