Akhil Akkineni's Double Comeback: Period Drama and New Look Raise Fan Expectations
As the heir to Akkineni Nagarjuna, Akhil Akkineni entered the industry with high expectations. Despite his handsome looks and impressive physique, none of his five films as a hero have been blockbusters, much to the disappointment of both him and Akkineni fans. His recent movie ‘Agent’ also flopped, so Akhil is determined to deliver a grand treat to his fans with a hit this time. However, even a year and a half after ‘Agent,’ Akhil has not announced any projects yet. But recently, exciting news about Akhil's next movie has emerged, raising fans' expectations.
Periodic Drama!
News about Akhil's next project is creating a buzz on social media. It is being promoted as a periodic action drama. Furthermore, it's reported that the film will be produced under the Annapurna Studios banner owned by his family, with Akkineni Nagarjuna himself likely to produce it. Murali Kishore, known for 'Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha', is rumored to be directing this film. An official announcement regarding this big project is expected soon, and pre-production has already started. There’s a strong buzz that the director Murali Kishore has already finalized the script.
Double Treat Coming Soon!
In addition to the periodic action drama, there’s talk in Tollywood circles that Akhil is nearly confirmed for another project under the UV Creations banner, to be directed by newcomer Anil Kumar, who previously worked as an assistant director on Prabhas’s ‘Saaho’. The story pitched by Anil Kumar has greatly appealed to Akhil, who immediately greenlit the script. It wouldn't be surprising if Akhil announces these two films simultaneously, promising a double treat for his fans in the coming days.
Have You Noticed Akhil’s New Look?
Akhil is currently undergoing a makeover for his new project. He has changed his look for the periodic action drama, recently appearing at various events sporting long hair and a beard, similar to the transformation Mahesh Babu underwent for the SSMB 29 project. Compared to the past, Akhil has significantly bulked up, appearing even more handsome and raising expectations for his future project. Fans are eagerly hoping that Akhil will finally hit a blockbuster success with his upcoming projects.

Where is ‘Agent’?
‘Agent,’ directed by Surender Reddy and featuring Akhil in the lead, was released last year on April 28 with huge expectations but unexpectedly flopped, leading to dismal box office collections. However, the OTT rights were acquired by SonyLIV, which announced streaming from May 19 last year. Yet, to date, the film hasn’t been streamed. There was significant social media discussion about when ‘Agent’ would arrive on OTT. Despite repeated announcements by SonyLIV that streaming would begin soon, it has not materialized, leading many to give up thinking about ‘Agent’.

Citadel: Honey Bunny Review – Samantha and Varun Dhawan Lead a High-Octane Spy Thriller, But Does It Match 'Family Man'?
Cast: Varun Dhawan, Samantha, Kay Kay Menon, Sikandar Kher, Shaqib Salim, Simran, and others
Writers: Seetha R. Menon, Raj & DK
Directors: Krishna D.K., Raj Nidimoru
Music: Aman Pant
Cinematography: Johan Hurlein
Editing: Sumit Kotian
Streaming Platform: Amazon Prime Video
Release Date: November 7, 2024
Having successfully created popular series like 'Family Man' and 'Farzi,' directors Raj & DK have garnered significant recognition. Recently, they launched another highly anticipated series under their direction called 'Citadel: Honey Bunny.' Bollywood star Varun Dhawan and the glamorous Samantha Ruth Prabhu lead in this series titled 'Citadel: Honey Bunny,' which is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Is this series, which arrives with the flair of a James Bond movie and presents a spy action thriller, impressive to the OTT audience? Does Samantha captivate once again in a role similar to her 'Family Man' persona? Let's find out in this review.
What's the Story
Bunny (Varun Dhawan) is a stuntman who also operates as a secret agent. Guru (Kay Kay Menon) leads a private secret agency. During a shoot, Bunny meets junior artist Honey (Samantha) and soon involves her in a compulsory secret operation. The dramatic events of the mission lead Bunny to believe that Honey has died. Eight years later, he discovers that Honey is alive and they have a five-year-old daughter named Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar). Bunny who is abroad returns to India to find them. Meanwhile, some are attempting to kill Honey and her daughter. Who are these individuals? What challenges does Bunny face while searching for his wife? What secrets does Honey possess? What is in the armory that the villainous gang seeks?
Performances
In his role as Bunny, Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan delivers a solid performance, excelling in action sequences. However, it is Samantha who truly shines in the series. Her acting, alongside her prowess in fight scenes, stands out. She skillfully portrays a secret agent, a lover, and a mother, offering a feast for the eyes in her romantic scenes with Varun Dhawan. Just like in the 'Family Man' series, she also sizzles in hot scenes. The series largely revolves around the screen presence of Varun and Samantha. Samantha captivates with her glamour, while young Kashvi Majmundar profoundly influences the storyline with her emotional performance. Kay Kay Menon, Simran, and the rest of Bunny's team do their roles.
Direction
While 'Citadel: Honey Bunny' doesn't offer much novelty in terms of storyline, the way it is presented and the screenplay are commendable. The directors Raj & DK have cleverly divided each episode into two parts, spanning the years 1992 and 2000, which adds intrigue. They've managed to clearly present the connections between the characters across the timelines without confusion. While the first two episodes are mostly introductory, the story picks up from the third episode. The struggle between Honey-Bunny and the villain gang to seize a world-dominating armored object is captivating. However, the lack of thrilling elements on par with 'Family Man,' the absence of twists, and episodes lasting over 50 minutes each are drawbacks.
Technically..
On the technical front, all departments have performed well. Aman Pant's background score is notable. Johan Herlein's cinematography is a special attraction, capturing fight and chase scenes that will enthrall action lovers. However, more care could have been taken with the editing. The production values adhered to by Russo and Raj DK are commendable.

Mathu Vadalara 2 Movie Review: Comedy, Chaos, and Satya’s Hilarious Performance
Cast: Sri Simha, Satya, Faria Abdullah, Sunil, Vennela Kishore, Rohini, and others.
Writer and Director: Ritesh Rana
Music: Kaala Bhairava
Cinematographer: Suresh Sarangam
Editor: Karthika Srinivas
Producer: Chiranjeevi (Cherry)
Release Date: September 13, 2024
Sri Simha stars in 'Mathu Vadalara 2,' directed by Ritesh Rana. The film features key performances by Faria Abdullah, Satya, Vennela Kishore, Rohini, and Sunil. The movie captured everyone's attention when actor Prabhas launched the trailer, which was full of laughs, heightening expectations. How did the film turn out? Did it impress the Telugu audience? Let's dive into this review to find out.
Plot
Babu (Sri Simha) and Yesu Babu (Satya) work as delivery boys struggling with financial issues. Their inadequate earnings lead them to become special agents. A small mistake in a case they handle gets them into trouble. What is this case about? What was their mistake? How did they get out of it? How does undercover agent Nidhi (Faria Abdullah) help them? To find out, you must watch the movie.
Performances
As the lead, Sri Simha delivers a solid performance, captivating in comedy and action sequences. However, Satya, present in every scene, steals the show, making him the true hero of the film. With his punchlines and comic timing, Satya excels, especially with his expressions that guarantee a laugh riot. His antics as the "Sexy Siren" in the film are particularly effective. Faria Abdullah also lands a substantial role that is memorable post her character in 'Chitti'. Vennela Kishore adds his unique flavor of comedy, while Sunil and Rohini do justice to their significant roles. Other actors also performed adequately.
Direction
Director Ritesh Rana crafts stories revolving around drugs, guns, and money. This time is no different, blending kidnapping drama with humor to entertain the audience. He successfully uses star references including Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Balakrishna, and Mahesh Babu to great effect. The characters of Sri Simha and Satya are particularly entertaining and well-developed. Every character appears fresh and funny on screen. The director keeps the first half a fun ride, though he struggles a bit in the second half where some scenes drag. The climax also feels predictable, a minor drawback.
Technically
On the technical front, Kaala Bhairava's background score is a major plus, elevating many scenes effectively. The cinematography is commendable, but the editing could have been tighter. The production values are high.
Plus Points
- Sri Simha and Satya’s performances
- Comedy
- Background music
Minus Points
- Some dragging scenes
- Predictable climax

Venkat Prabhu Faces Backlash Over Telugu Audience Criticism After 'The Goat' Underperforms
The latest film starring Kollywood star hero Vijay, titled 'The Goat' (The Greatest Of All Time), released on September 5 and has been a massive hit in Tamil Nadu, even crossing the Rs. 300 crore mark with impressive overseas collections. However, the film seems to be facing strong resistance in the Telugu and Hindi markets. In this context, the film's director Venkat Prabhu responded, sparking a heated debate on social media.
'That's Why They Didn't Like It'
In Telugu and Hindi, 'The Goat' (The Greatest Of All Time) did not meet the expected levels of success. Mythri Movie Makers, a prominent production company, purchased the film for Rs. 22 crores in Telugu, but so far, it has only grossed Rs. 10 crores. Current circumstances suggest that even breaking even may be difficult. Against this backdrop, director Venkat Prabhu took to social media to express his views. He suggested that scenes related to Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni, which were highlights, did not resonate well with Telugu and Hindi audiences, which might be why the film underperformed in these regions. He also accused fans of the IPL teams from Mumbai and Bangalore of excessively trolling his film, attributing this to his known fandom of Chennai Super Kings. Venkat Prabhu's comments have become a hot topic on social media.
https://twitter.com/TheAakashavaani/status/1833133203697131918
Telugu Audience Fires Back..!
Telugu audiences are strongly criticizing Venkat Prabhu's recent comments. They are posting online that there are other reasons for 'The Goat's disaster performance in Telugu. Comments suggest that if the content is good, they support films irrespective of the industry. They remind the director of the massive success his previous film 'Maanaadu' had in Telugu, indicating that MS Dhoni also has a huge fanbase in the Telugu states, with stadiums filling up in yellow jerseys whenever a CSK match is played in Hyderabad. They are requesting that the actual reasons for 'The Goat's failure be investigated.
Reasons for the Flop in Telugu Are These!
Director Venkat Prabhu made 'The Goat' with a routine story where Vijay played dual roles as father and son. Despite the terrorism backdrop, it lacked the twists typically seen in agent films. There were no twists or turns in the story, and even the operations conducted by the hero lacked thrill. Additionally, unnecessary songs and Yogi Babu's comedy track tested the patience of the Telugu audience. However, the action sequences and the IPL track in the climax managed to generate some excitement.
Dhoni Said No!
'The Goat' featured many cameo roles. Sivakarthikeyan and Trisha appeared as guests, and India's former cricket captain MS Dhoni was also shown during the climax using IPL visuals. Director Venkat Prabhu originally intended to have a scene with Dhoni in the film, but since Dhoni did not agree, they had to resort to using IPL visuals. The 20-minute climax episode captivated cricket lovers immensely.
Furious Over Negative Reviews
Director Venkat Prabhu responded to the negative reviews of 'The Goat.' "People don't talk about the effort we put into making the film. Some intentionally post negative comments. We included references in the film not found in any other movie, all to celebrate every hero fan. The film wasn't made just for the guest appearances but was crafted to include everything audiences desire. We made this film for the audience, not the reviewers," he stated.

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Day 1 Collections
Natural Star Nani continues to impress with a variety of films. His latest, 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' directed by Vivek Athreya, was released on August 29 and received widespread positive feedback. Alongside Nani, S.J. Suryah's role as the villain has been particularly praised by audiences, though some aspects have been critiqued on social media. Overall, Nani's film has garnered positive reviews and achieved impressive first-day earnings. Let's look at the details now.
What are the first day collections?
'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' featuring Nani and Priyanka Arul Mohan, has met expectations on its first day at the box office, collecting ₹20.3 crores (GROSS) worldwide. The film earned ₹8.8 crores in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana alone. Overseas, it gathered ₹7.6 crores. Additionally, it made ₹1.4 crores in Karnataka and ₹2.5 crores in the rest of India. Given the positive reviews, the film is expected to maintain solid earnings over the weekend. The spike in ticket bookings following the film's success is attributed to its hit status.
Less than 'Dasara'!
Nani's previous film, 'Hi Nanna,' grossed ₹10.5 crores on its opening day. 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' has doubled those earnings, a notable achievement. However, it still falls short of Nani’s earlier film 'Dasara,' a high-voltage action drama directed by Srikanth Odela, which made over ₹38 crores on its first day, marking the highest opening in Nani's career. Compared to 'Dasara,' 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' earned about ₹18 crores less, yet it still holds the record for the second-highest opening in Nani's career.
Highlights of the Film
Recognized as a classic director for films like 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' Vivek Athreya has introduced his rustic mass appeal with this film. Diverging from his usual style, he crafted captivating action sequences that have won accolades. The performances of Nani and S.J. Suryah, the action scenes, and the background score by Jakes Bejoy are highlights of the film. Particularly, the Tom and Jerry-style confrontations between the hero and the villain have delighted audiences. However, the film's excessive length, lack of twists, absence of commercial elements, and predictable storyline have been pointed out as drawbacks.
'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Story
Surya (Nani) works as an LIC agent who cannot tolerate injustice. He chooses Saturday to express his anger. Meanwhile, the people of Sokulapalem are suffering. Police officer Daya (S.J. Suryah), wielding his authority, oppresses them with cruelty. Amidst dramatic events, Surya decides to stand up for the people of Sokulapalem. How does he confront the brutal police officer? What challenges does he face in this process? Why does Surya specifically become active on Saturdays? What is the love track with Priyanka Mohan? Who wins in the showdown between the hero and the villain? This is the story.

Producers: DVV Danayya, Kalyan Dasari
Release Date: 29-08-2024
Natural Star Nani stars in the latest film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' directed by Vivek Athreya. Priyanka Arul Mohan plays the heroine, and prominent Tamil actor S.J. Suryah portrays the antagonist. Director Vivek Athreya, known for engaging audiences with class films like 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' has now ventured into the mass genre. Deviating from his usual style, he presents a powerful action drama in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram.' The recently released trailer has significantly heightened expectations. The film had a grand worldwide release on August 29. How did it fare? Did Nani's performance impress? Let's find out in this review.
What's the Story?
Surya (Nani) works as an LIC agent. He cannot tolerate injustice happening before his eyes and chooses Saturdays to showcase his rage. Meanwhile, the residents of Sokulapalem suffer from various hardships. Police officer Daya (S.J. Suryah) oppresses them, using his authority to perpetrate acts of brutality. Amidst dramatic developments, the hero decides to stand up for the people of Sokulapalem. How does Surya confront the cruel police officer? What challenges does he face in the process? Why does the hero specifically choose Saturday to unleash his fury? What's the love track with heroine Priyanka Mohan? Who wins in the face-off between hero and villain? That forms the story.
How Did They Perform?
Hero Nani excelled in the role of Surya. He showcased his versatility in the action sequences. Nani's acting in this film is distinct from his previous movies. He also made his mark in emotional scenes. S.J. Suryah as the antagonist was compelling, dominating some scenes over Nani. Both their performances are definitely the highlights of the film. Priyanka Arul Mohan played a settled role as a lady constable, impressing in a character-driven role. The unique love track between Nani and Priyanka will appeal to the audience. Saikumar, Ajay, Murali Sharma, and other actors justified their roles well.
How's the Direction?
Director Vivek Athreya, recognized for his classical approach in previous films, introduces his mass flair in this movie. Despite using a routine story, his unique making style has won applause. The director devoted much of the first half to introducing characters. Nani's childhood, the concept of Saturday, the introduction to the heroine, and an engaging interval block kept the first half interesting. The second half was filled with Tom and Jerry-like scenes and action sequences between Nani and S.J. Suryah. However, the lengthy duration negatively impacted the film. Some scenes felt too stretched, and the predictability of the storyline also turned out to be a drawback.
Technically Speaking
On the technical front, Jakes Bejoy's music was captivating, with appealing songs and a background score that added strength to the film, especially enhancing the action sequences. The cinematography also stood out. The editor could have been a bit sharper with the cuts. Production values were high.
Plus Points
- Nani and S.J. Suryah's performances
- Action sequences
- Introduction, interval, and climax episodes
Minus Points

Cast: Ashwin Babu, Digangana Suryavanshi, Hyper Aadi, Arbaaz Khan, Murali Sharma, Tanikella Bharani, Brahmaji
Director: Abdul Apsar Hussain
Music: Vikas Badisa
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

Darling Movie Review:A Whirlwind of Romance and Laughter with a Twist of Complexity
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
