Is There a Special Reason?



Most celebrities come to Balayya's talk show, Unstoppable, as part of their film promotions. Some enjoy casual conversations with him. This time, the episode featuring both Sreeleela and Naveen Polishetty is intriguing as they are not currently co-starring in any film.

Netizens are speculating whether there is a particular reason Balayya invited these two young stars to the show. It is anticipated that the questions Balayya poses to them will be quite engaging, with OTT sources claiming they struggled to respond to his witty inquiries. Clarity on these questions might emerge once the episode airs.

Allu Arjun Opens Up on Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, and More on Balakrishna's 'Unstoppable 4'


Cast: Sumanth



Writer and Director: Prashanth Sagar Atluri



Music: Sriram Madduri



Cinematography: Varun Ankarla



Editing: Murali Krishna Manyam



Visual Effects: Shashwat Kaurav



Producers: Raghuveer, Srujan



OTT Platform: Aha



The film 'Aham Reboot,' directed by Prashanth Sagar Atluri and starring Sumanth , was initially completed some time ago and was intended for a theatrical release. However, due to certain reasons, it was quietly released on the OTT platform Aha on June 30. This psychological thriller has made its way to streaming. Did it manage to impress OTT viewers? Did it provide another success for Sumanth? Let’s find out in this review.







What’s the Story?



Nilay (Sumanth), who dreamt of being a football player, turns into a radio jockey following an accident. One day while in the studio, he receives a call from a girl claiming she has been kidnapped. Initially dismissing it as a prank, Nilay is eventually convinced by her words and decides to go live. The police, listening to the radio, start believing that the girl has indeed been kidnapped and begin efforts to save her. They assign the task of gathering information about the kidnapped girl to Nilay, who is in the studio. Who is this girl? Was she really kidnapped? How do the police save her? Who is the girl Nilay lost in an accident? Is there any connection between her and the kidnapped girl? You'll have to watch the movie to find out.







How Did They Perform?



In the movie 'Aham Reboot,' Sumanth is a one-man show. He is the only character visible throughout the movie; all other characters are just heard. Sumanth captivates with his performance, embodying a modern young man carrying an unspoken sorrow and striving to save a girl's life as a radio jockey. He effectively conveys emotions and carries the story on his shoulders. Visually, Sumanth presents a new look in this movie.







How’s the Direction?



Directing a movie with just one character is akin to walking a tightrope, especially when the entire story unfolds in a single location. In this challenging endeavor, director Prashanth Sagar Atluri has managed to achieve a notable level of success. The narrative begins with a phone call from a girl claiming she has been kidnapped. The director skillfully guides the plot from gathering her details to forwarding them to the police, who then initiate a rescue operation. This approach keeps the narrative tight and engaging. A twist at the end that links Nilay's life to the kidnapped girl adds an intriguing element. However, the film's reliance on only Sumanth's character and dialogue to drive the story might seem monotonous to some viewers. For those with the patience, 'Aham Reboot' offers a compelling thriller experience.







Technically...



On the technical front, the background music is a significant plus for the movie. Sriram Madduri’s BGM elevates the thrilling scenes further. With just one character, the editing needed to be crisp, which worked out well. The production values are commendable.







Plus Points



- Sumanth’s acting



- Innovative storytelling



- Background music



Minus Point



- The entire movie revolves around just one visible character

September 2024 OTT Movies: Telugu Movies Released on OTT in September 2024


Cast: Tovino Thomas, Chemban Vinod, Roshan Mathew, Reema Kallingal, Shine Tom Chacko, Abhiram Radhakrishnan



Director: Aashiq Abu



Cinematography: Girish Gangadharan



Editing: V. Sajan



Music: Bijibal, Rex Vijayan

OTT: Aha



This week, a Malayalam horror film has made its way to OTT platforms, aiming to captivate digital audiences. 'Bhargavi Nilayam', originally released in 1964, has been remade as 'Neelavelicham' in 2023 with several alterations. The movie stars Tovino Thomas, Reema Kallingal, Roshan Mathew, and Shine Tom Chacko, directed by Aashiq Abu. Released in April last year, the film greatly attracted Malayalam viewers. Recently, this movie has been dubbed into Telugu as 'Bhargavi Nilayam' and brought to OTT on Aha. How does the film fare? Does it engage the Telugu OTT audience? Let’s find out in this review.







The Story



'Bhargavi Nilayam' is set in a small village near the seaside, where the titular mansion has been abandoned for many years. The very mention of the mansion sends shivers down the spine of the villagers. It is said that Bhargavi (Reema Kallingal) haunts the house as a ghost, attempting to kill anyone who steps inside. In this context, a writer named Basheer (Tovino Thomas) arrives in the village. Unaware of the mansion's haunted history, he rents it. Financial constraints force him to stay, leading him to befriend the ghost. He decides to write a story about her. What caused Bhargavi’s death? How did her lover Shivakumar (Roshan Mathew) mysteriously disappear? How does Basheer uncover the mystery of this tragic love story? That forms the crux of the narrative.







Performance



Tovino Thomas excels in the role of the writer. His appearance and dialogue delivery are notably different from his previous films, bearing the weight of the movie on his shoulders. He leaves his mark in key scenes. The love pair, Reema Kallingal and Roshan Mathew, perform adequately. Shine Tom Chacko delivers a compelling performance as the villain, leaving a strong impact. Other actors perform well within their roles.







Direction



While Aashiq Abu has chosen a routine story for the movie, he succeeds in making the narrative engaging. The scenes depicting the tragic life of a couple, uncovered by a writer, are captivating. The segments where the hero enters the haunted house and the villagers scare him with dreadful tales are intriguing, maintaining suspense about what will happen next. The horror elements introduced occasionally do instill fear. The friendship between the hero and the ghost before the interval sets up an engaging second half. In the latter part, the director reveals the love story of Bhargavi and Shivakumar, and the villain behind their tragic fate. The climax shows Bhargavi’s revenge drama in an interesting manner. However, the routine storyline, boring love track, and standard horror scenes could be seen as negatives.







Technically



On the technical front, the cinematographer does an excellent job. His camera work effectively recreates the atmosphere of the 1960s. The background music also adds value to the film. The editing is adequate, and the production values are fitting for the film.







Plus Points



- Tovino Thomas’s performance



- Engaging narrative



- Strong technical department



Minus Points



- Routine horror concept



- Lack of thrilling elements

Bhargavi Nilayam OTT Review: Tovino Thomas Shines in a Haunting Tale of Love and Revenge


In Tollywood, among the heroes with a massive fan following are Balakrishna and Mahesh Babu. While Mahesh charms fans with his classy looks, Balakrishna energizes his fans with his signature mass dialogues. The very idea of these two stars in one movie is exciting! Recent comments by popular music director Thaman suggest that this multi-starrer might soon become a reality. Thaman's comments during a show became a hot topic on social media.



What Did Thaman Say?



On the popular OTT streaming app 'Aha,' the Telugu version of Indian Idol is being streamed, where Thaman serves as a judge, and singer Sreerama Chandra is hosting. During the semifinals of the show, host Sreerama Chandra posed an intriguing question to Thaman: "If you had the opportunity to direct music for both Balakrishna and Mahesh Babu's films at the same time, which film would you choose to work on?" Thaman's response turned into the talk of Tollywood. He revealed that not only is the multi-starrer film with both Balayya Babu and Mahesh Babu possible, but he also mentioned that he has heard the story of the film. This revelation had both the anchor Sreerama Chandra and the audience cheering excitedly.




https://twitter.com/CINE_EXPLORERS/status/1832658977953607782




Fans Stirring Up Excitement!



Thaman's comments about the upcoming class-mass combo multi-starrer are going viral online. Fans are asserting that records will be shattered if a film featuring Mahesh and Balayya materializes, reminiscent of the films of Super Star Krishna and NTR (N T Rama Rao). Fans are excited at the prospect of their sons also acting together. However, it remains to be seen whether Thaman's comments were made in jest or if there is a genuine plan in place. Currently, apart from speculation by the audience, there is no confirmed information about the film's story or direction. Yet, if true, it's certain that not just speakers but box office records are set to be broken.







Maybe Not Anytime Soon!



After 'Guntur Kaaram,' Mahesh is set to work with legendary director SS Rajamouli. With this commitment, Mahesh won't be available for any other movies for at least the next three years, which means a movie with Balakrishna might not happen anytime soon. Even if the story exists and both actors agree, it might take at least four years for the movie to get on the tracks. Mahesh is currently preparing his look for Rajamouli's film, sporting a significantly grown hair and beard for an adventure action thriller set on a global scale.







Balayya Busy Busy



Balakrishna is currently busy shooting an action-packed movie (NBK 109) directed by Bobby Kolli. The makers are considering releasing this film in December or for the Sankranti festival next year. Notably, Thaman is providing the music for this movie. The shooting is progressing at a brisk pace. In this film, Bollywood stars Bobby Deol and Urvashi Rautela play crucial roles. Balakrishna is fully engaged in the ongoing shooting of this movie, keeping him very busy.

Latest OTT Releases in Telugu: This week's new films that promise great entertainment!


Directed by Gyanasagar and starring Sudheer Babu, the latest film 'Harom Hara' is an action thriller. Malavika Sharma features opposite Sudheer Babu, and Sunil plays a pivotal role. Released to audiences on June 14, the film garnered positive feedback in theaters but failed to achieve significant commercial success, earning only moderate box office returns. Recently, it was released on OTT platforms and is now trending nationally at the number one spot.



Trending at the Top



'Harom Hara' has recently streamed on three OTT platforms: ETV Win, Aha, and Amazon Prime Video. It is gaining special popularity on these platforms, achieving impressive viewership. Amazon announced that 'Harom Hara' had reached the top position nationally and released a special poster in celebration. The film has outperformed several Bollywood films to secure this top spot.

The Reasons for Its Popularity!



In 'Harom Hara,' Sudheer Babu appears as Subrahmanyam, delivering one of the top mass roles of his career. His character receives significant elevations in the second half, reminiscent of films like 'Pushpa' and 'KGF.' Transforming into a mini gangster in Kuppan and manufacturing guns using his mechanical skills, Subrahmanyam's rise to power captivates the audience. The intense action sequence that opens the second half could be considered the best scene of Sudheer Babu’s career. The climax, where Sudheer Babu single-handedly takes on hundreds of rowdies with powerful weapons, is particularly thrilling. If some dragging scenes had been trimmed and the love track between the hero and heroine better developed, the film might have received even better reception in theaters. Overall, the film team is very pleased with its performance on OTT.







Director Deserves Praise!



Director Gyanasagar Dwaraka has skillfully navigated a routine story, managing to impress with his storytelling. He introduces the point he wants to convey directly, integrating stunning action sequences into the narrative. The first half primarily focuses on character introductions, leading up to a twist before the interval that pulls the audience into the main story. The story picks up pace from the second half, though it becomes somewhat predictable, which slightly detracts from its impact. Overall, for fans of action movies, 'Harom Hara' offers a substantial treat.







The Story



In the 1980s, in the border area of Kuppam which connects Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, Thammireddy and his family, including his brother Basava and son Sharath Reddy, ruled the area harshly, creating chaos and injustice. Subrahmanyam (Sudheer Babu) arrives in this tough environment and starts working as a mechanical lab assistant at a local college. However, he quickly runs into trouble with Sharath Reddy, leading to his suspension. With financial pressures mounting, Subrahmanyam uses his mechanical skills to start making guns illegally. Although he initially conflicts with Sharath Reddy, they eventually join forces to continue the gun-making business. Eventually, Subrahmanyam challenges Thammireddy’s authority. What follows? How does Subrahmanyam impact the lives of the people in Kuppam? Why do the locals start to view him as a hero, almost like a god? How does he stand up to Thammireddy? These questions shape the story.

Weekend OTT Suggestions: A Festival for OTT Lovers Must-Watch New Releases This Weekend!


Cast: Fahadh Faasil, Aparna Balamurali, Roshan Mathew, Vineeth, Anu Mohan, Achyuth Kumar, Vijay Menon, and others.



Writer and Director: Pawan Kumar



Music: Poornachandra Tejaswi



Cinematography: Preetha Jayaraman



Editing: Suresh Arumugam



Producers: Vijay Kiragandur, Vijay Subramanian



Actor Fahadh Faasil has made a significant impact in the South Indian film industry with his versatile acting skills. He has received critical acclaim for his outstanding performances, both as a hero and a villain. His Malayalam film "Dhoomam," released last year, received positive reviews in theaters. Recently, the Telugu version of this film was released on OTT platforms. Starting from July 11, the movie began streaming on Aha. Has this film impressed the Telugu audience? Has Fahadh Faasil once again captivated viewers with his performance? What is the concept of 'Dhoomam'? Let's explore this review.







The Plot



Avinash (Fahadh Faasil) works at a cigarette company as the sales head, where his intelligence significantly boosts sales. One day, he has an argument with the company's MD, Siddh (Roshan Mathew), which leads to his resignation. While traveling with his wife Diya (Aparna Balamurali), Avinash is attacked by a masked man who kidnaps his wife and warns him to comply with his demands if he wants her back. Who is this masked man? Why is Avinash implicated in a murder case? Is there a connection between the masked man and the company's MD? How does Avinash escape the trap? That’s the story.







Performance



In "Dhoomam," Fahadh Faasil delivers a one-man show, completely embodying the role of Avinash. He portrays a husband fighting to save his wife and a man trying to rectify his mistakes with exceptional skill. Aparna Balamurali impresses as Diya with her natural performance. Roshan Mathew, in a negative role, and Vineeth as Praveen, do justice to their characters. The rest of the cast also delivers commendable performances within their roles.







Direction



Director Pawan Kumar aims to highlight the societal harm caused by cigarette and tobacco products through this film. He effectively showcases the tactics cigarette companies use to generate profits and depicts the thrilling struggle of a young man trapped in a dangerous situation trying to save his wife. The parallel narrative of the protagonist's present and past, combined with an engaging screenplay, captures the audience's attention. The twist at the intermission heightens interest in the second half. The film concludes with a unique climax, setting it apart from typical movies. However, the lack of commercial elements, limited characters, and a slow-paced second half are drawbacks.







Technical Aspects



Poornachandra Tejaswi's music, especially the background score, effectively elevates several scenes. The cinematography by Preetha Jayaraman is impressive. The editing by Suresh Arumugam is decent but could have been tighter in the second half. The production values are high, matching the film's quality.







Plus Points



- Fahadh Faasil's performance



- The underlying message



- Unique climax



Minus Points



- Slow-paced narrative



- Second half
