Telugu Top Item Songs Lyrics List: The Item Songs That Took Tollywood by Storm.


Jagapathi Babu, a renowned actor known for his family hero roles in Tollywood, has made a successful transition from lead roles to villainous characters. He has garnered a significant following in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam cinema through his performances in negative roles. Recently, he received the IIFA Award for Best Villain for a Kannada movie, sparking a heated discussion in the Indian film industry. His remarks were unexpected coming from a seasoned actor like him, causing quite a stir among netizens.



"Awards Only for the Foolish?"



In the Kannada film 'Kaatera,' where actor Darshan played the lead, Jagapathi Babu portrayed a villain. His exceptional performance in this negative role won critical acclaim, and the film achieved blockbuster success in Kannada. During the recent IIFA Awards-2024 event in Dubai, Jagapathi Babu was honored with the Best Villain award. Responding to this, he shared a video with the caption, "The more foolishly you act, the more awards you get," which has sparked controversy among netizens. Some suggest that if he dislikes receiving awards, he should return them.

What Promoted Jagapathi Babu's Remarks?



It's well-known that Jagapathi Babu started his career as a hero and was particularly famous among family audiences for his roles in family dramas. Despite his success, he did not receive awards to the extent he expected. However, since switching to character roles and villains, awards have started coming his way, particularly for his performances as a villain. Films like 'Legend,' 'Nannaku Prematho,' 'Aravinda Sametha,' and 'Manyam Puli' (Telugu dub), and recently 'Kaatera' have brought him numerous accolades, including Nandi, Filmfare, SIIMA, and IIFA awards. His comment might have been influenced by the irony of receiving more awards for negative roles than positive ones.







A Turning Point with 'Legend'



Competing against stalwarts like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Venkatesh, and Nagarjuna, Jagapathi Babu has had many hits. However, as the opportunities for lead roles declined, he shifted to character roles, impressing in roles like big brother and police officer, but still not achieving the recognition he desired. It was during this lull that he received an offer from director Boyapati to play a villain opposite Balakrishna in 'Legend,' which turned his career around. His powerful portrayal of a formidable antagonist won everyone over, and since then, he hasn't looked back.







Future Projects



Jagapathi Babu is busy with pan-India projects such as 'Pushpa 2,' directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun. His role is rumored to be a negative one, although details haven't been officially confirmed. He is also involved in the Tamil film 'Kanguva,' starring Surya, which is set to release worldwide on November 14. With these projects, Jagapathi Babu is expected to gain national prominence once again.

Tollywood stands out from other film industries due to its distinctive approach. Directors frequently focus on crafting emotional scenes, incorporating deep sentiment and emotive moments to appeal to family audiences. However, these scenes can occasionally miss their mark. When they stray too far from reality, they often become fodder for trolls. There are many examples of this phenomenon in Tollywood, with numerous memes and trolls emerging post-release. Let's explore some of these instances in this special report.

Sarrainodu



Directed by Boyapati Srinu and featuring Allu Arjun, 'Sarrainodu' achieved blockbuster status upon its release. Nonetheless, one specific scene attracted widespread mockery. Netizens remarked that this emotional scene inadvertently provoked laughter. In this scene, the heroine, Rakul Preet Singh, is pursued by thugs, and she tearfully exclaims that she has been on the run for four days, prompting the audience to question the plausibility of her claim.




https://youtu.be/BTG1U_-sl-o?si=8SMhJezyIsBEMKG-




Vinaya Vidheya Rama



'Vinaya Vidheya Rama', starring Ram Charan and directed by Boyapati, experienced its share of trolling. A particular scene that shows Charan standing on a train en route to Bihar received extensive criticism. Additionally, an emotional moment during the song "Thandaane Thandaane" also drew mockery. In this scene, during a serious family meal, the hero's brother, Prashanth, is suddenly embraced tightly and cried over by his wife, Sneha, instead of being handed water, leading netizens to question the logic of the situation.




https://youtu.be/GKrpi9NX6LY?si=78kGcH01QiUR6oej




Aravinda Sametha



In 'Aravinda Sametha', directed by Trivikram and starring Jr. NTR with Pooja Hegde as the heroine, Hegde faced extensive trolling on social media post-release. One scene in particular, where the villain kidnaps both Pooja Hegde and her brother, became a target for ridicule. During this scene, Hegde secretly calls NTR, who warns her that the villains might kill her, leading to an overly dramatic crying scene. This scene was heavily mocked online, with many viewers commenting that they found her expressions unintentionally humorous.




https://youtu.be/uOTclNEcCAE?si=VaLMevP8Ir2yaLA1




Mogudu



Directed by Krishna Vamsi and starring Gopichand and Taapsee, 'Mogudu' featured a scene just before the interval that was heavily trolled for its overdramatic nature. In this scene, during an engagement ceremony, the heroine's mother, Roja, slaps a relative of the hero, sparking a major altercation involving Roja, the hero's father Rajendra Prasad, Gopichand, and Taapsee. This confrontation escalates to the point where the couple decides to file for divorce. Many viewers criticized the scene for its theatricality, commenting that it felt more like a comedy than a serious drama.




https://youtu.be/tSph1y0x9BA?si=PQvdooUFVQPxvKpX




Attarintiki Daredi



In 'Attarintiki Daredi', a collaboration between Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram, the climax was designed to evoke strong emotions. In this scene, Pawan Kalyan attempts to express the deep love his family holds for his aunt, who left home when she was young. However, his tearful delivery did not resonate with many viewers. Several audience members found the emotional display humorous rather than touching, and a photo of Pawan Kalyan crying became a viral sensation on social media.




https://youtu.be/HsV7k8m0QU0?si=B2YwpApzSRLAHGDO




Srimanthudu



In 'Srimanthudu,' a hit film featuring Mahesh Babu and directed by Koratala Siva, the protagonist commits to improving his father's village. In one scene, as a villager starts to share their struggles with Mahesh, senior actor Rajendra Prasad cuts him off, commenting that he's only speaking out of hope upon seeing a potential opportunity. This poignant moment not only resonated with audiences but also became popular as a meme on social media, where it remains widely recognized.




https://youtu.be/V_52TOrTqKI?si=xJkICf7HF-JiFikn




Happy



'Happy,' featuring Allu Arjun (Bunny) and Genelia, did not perform well at the box office. In the film's climax, Bunny delivers an emotional declaration of his love for the heroine while locked up in a police station. Moved by their love, a police officer decides to release her. However, Bunny's performance in this scene was widely ridiculed by his critics, who found the overly sentimental moment laughable and expressed online that they found it difficult to watch.




https://youtu.be/H3h5fkT5wG4?si=sufvXBa7KErXPRM7




Mirchi



In 'Mirchi,' featuring Prabhas and directed by Koratala, the hero visits the villain's house intending to instigate change. During this episode, the village elder Nagineedu shows how much he is respected by the villagers. This respect sets the stage for a comedic moment when Nagineedu and Prabhas attempt to re-enroll a girl in school, halting the car in front of her house to call her out. This scene, along with a subsequent discussion with the college principal, became fodder for online trolling, with memers using these moments to entertain netizens.

Funny Emotional Scenes which make you laugh.


Jr. NTR's latest film 'Devara' has achieved remarkable success at the box office, raking in ₹300 crores in just the first three days and is now swiftly marching towards the ₹500 crore club. In this film, Tarak is paired with Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor, while Saif Ali Khan plays the antagonist. 'Devara' has brought several intriguing aspects of Tarak's capabilities to the forefront, providing him a victory that even a global star like Prabhas has not achieved. Once again, Tarak has proven to be a boon for directors who have previously experienced flops.



Hits with Flop Directors!



It can be said that Jr. NTR has become a savior for Tollywood directors who have previously faced failures. Directors who lost their fame due to massive disasters have seen their fortunes revive when teaming up with Tarak. This was recently proven with 'Devara' as well. Director Koratala Siva, who faced criticism with the disaster of 'Acharya', achieved solid success with Tarak in 'Devara'. Tarak has also revived the careers of directors like Puri Jagannadh with 'Temper' after his series of flops, Sukumar with 'Nannaku Prematho' after the failure of '1: Nenokkadine', and Bobby with 'Jai Lava Kusa' after a flop with Ravi Teja. He also brought Trivikram back from the brink after the disaster of 'Agnyaathavaasi' with 'Aravinda Sametha'. In this way, Tarak continues to create new records by turning flop directors into hit-makers.







The Only Unbeaten Hero: Tarak



In any hero's career, hits and flops are common. Even big star heroes cannot guarantee that every film will be embraced by the audience. Even global star Prabhas faced flops with films like 'Saaho', 'Radhe Shyam', and 'Adipurush' following 'Baahubali'. However, Tarak has been unstoppable in the industry without a single flop over the last nine years. His last seven films have been blockbusters at the box office, including 'Temper', 'Nannaku Prematho', 'Janatha Garage', 'Jai Lava Kusa', 'Aravinda Sametha', 'RRR', and 'Devara'. Tarak stands out as the only hero of his generation to achieve this feat. With big upcoming projects like 'Devara 2', 'NTR 31' with Prashanth Neel, and a rumored film with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Tarak's winning streak looks set to continue.







Breaking a 23-Year-Old Flop Record



It is well-known that a film with director SS Rajamouli is bound to be a blockbuster. However, no hero has managed to hit immediately following a film with Rajamouli. But with 'Devara', Tarak has broken this flop sentiment. After 'RRR' with Rajamouli, Tarak immediately achieved a solid victory with 'Devara'. Interestingly, Tarak, who kick-started this flop sentiment with Rajamouli's first film 'Student No.1', has himself broken it exactly 23 years after the release of 'Student No.1'.







Tarak in the Role of a Farmer!



Under the direction of Prashanth Neel, the upcoming project 'NTR 31', produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, is generating buzz in Tollywood. Rumored to be a periodic action drama, the film is said to be set in Bangladesh and will portray Tarak as a young farmer who becomes embroiled in unexpected events, fighting for the locals. The film will reportedly showcase Tarak in two different variations, promising a next-level character portrayal and performance different from his previous roles.







Rashmika as the Heroine?



Director Prashanth Neel is currently busy with the pre-production work for 'NTR 31', focusing on casting the main roles. Reports suggest that Rashmika Mandanna is being considered to star opposite Tarak, which would mark their first film together if confirmed. 'NTR 31' is planned for release as a Sankranthi gift in 2026, with shooting expected to start soon. The music for the movie will be composed by Ravi Basrur, with cinematography handled by Bhuvan Gowda.

Tamil star hero Karthi has a good following in Telugu as well. His films in Tamil have been released in Telugu and have been successful. Recently, his film "Sathyam Sundaram" also received a hit in Telugu along with Tamil. Karthi has expressed his love for the Telugu language and audience on several occasions. During the success meet of "Sathyam Sundaram," actor Karthi made interesting remarks. He shared his connection with actor Mahesh Babu, and these comments are now attracting attention in the industry.



Mahesh is My Classmate: Karthi



The film "Sathyam Sundaram," starring Karthi and Aravinda Swami, was released on Saturday (September 28) and received positive feedback. During a press meet held in Vijayawada, Karthi spoke about the film’s success and thanked everyone who made the film a super hit. When asked by a reporter if there was a chance to do a film with Mahesh in the future, Karthi replied that he is ready to make a film with Mahesh if a suitable story comes along. Moreover, he revealed a big secret that Mahesh was his classmate in school, which shocked everyone present there. Fans were also surprised by Karthi’s revelation, expressing that they were unaware of this fact until now.




https://twitter.com/_VardhanDHFM_/status/1840974122475532541




I Was Skeptical When I Heard the Story!



Karthi mentioned that he was initially skeptical about whether such a film would be appealing nowadays when he first heard the story of "Sathyam Sundaram." However, he noted that audiences always welcome new concepts, which was proven once again. "Many Telugu viewers called me. They felt very emotional after watching the film, which brought me great joy. A good film achieving commercial success also motivates producers. Watching such films brings peace to the mind," Karthi shared.







Karthi Reveals Story Told by Rajamouli!



During an interview about the promotions of "Sathyam Sundaram," Karthi spoke with director Gautham Menon. When Gautham asked about acting together with Suriya, Karthi shared an interesting past incident. "Karthik and I will act together if the right script comes. Rajamouli sir once narrated a story to us. It was good, but that film did not work out," he revealed. These comments quickly went viral online, with netizens speculating that the story might have been 'RRR'.

Shooting for 'SSMB 29' Starts in December!



Ever since the announcement of a film by Rajamouli starring Mahesh Babu, everyone has been eagerly waiting for its commencement. On the occasion of Rajamouli’s birthday, it was hinted that there will be an official update regarding SSMB29. The regular shooting for this film will start in December, with the first schedule set to begin in Germany. There’s a strong buzz that the film, set against the backdrop of the 18th century and featuring unique tribal communities, will soon have an official announcement.






Karthi Reveals a Top Secret About Mahesh Babu, Fans Surprised!


Cast: Karthi, Aravind Swamy, Srividya, Rajkiran, among others.



Written and Directed by: C. Prem Kumar



Music by: Govind Vasantha



Cinematography: Mahendran Jayaraju



Editing by: R. Govind Raju



Produced by: Jyothika, Suriya



Release Date: 28-09-2024



In the C. Prem Kumar directorial, starring Tamil star hero Karthi who previously delighted audiences with feel-good movies like '96', the film titled 'Meiyazhagan' in Tamil, has been brought to the Telugu audience as 'Satyam Sundaram'. Aravind Swamy plays a pivotal role in this film, which is notably produced under the banner of 2D Entertainment by Suriya and Jyothika. Released today (September 28), how does this film fare? Did it manage to impress the audience? Let's delve into the review.



What's the Story



Satyam (Aravind Swamy), hailing from Guntur, leaves his home and village due to property disputes and relocates to Visakhapatnam. After 30 years, a situation arises requiring him to return to his village for his niece’s wedding. Upon his return, Satyam reconnects with a relative (Karthi) at the wedding. Calling each other 'Bava' (brother-in-law), they bond over numerous conversations. Initially irritated by Karthi’s intrusive manners, Satyam eventually warms up to his affection and admiration. What turns does their journey take? How does Satyam rediscover himself through this journey? What is the nature of his relationship with the person he calls 'Bava'? Does he finally remember his name, or not? That forms the rest of the story.







How Did They Perform



Aravind Swamy perfectly embodies Satyam, taking us along on his journey through his remarkable performance. We feel every emotion that Satyam experiences, from his pain to his discomfort. Karthi charms once again with his innocence, captivating as a typical young man from a village showing boundless love. This role will be remembered as a highlight in Karthi’s career. Devadarshini, playing the wife of Aravind Swamy, delivers a commendable performance. Having previously only played comedic and supporting roles, she proves her ability to handle a role with depth with ease. Srividya, Rajkiran, and Jayaprakash, although in minor roles, significantly impact the story. The rest of the cast performed well within their roles.







Direction



The director, C. Prem Kumar, attempts to convey that for a person to live happily, the presence of a loving individual is as necessary as money and fame. The film starts intriguingly, showing why Satyam left his village. His return for a wedding, the introduction of Karthi’s character, his mischief, and the troubles Satyam faces with Karthi unknowingly, are all portrayed entertainingly. The director shifts the setting to Karthi’s home, where Satyam’s experiences are heartfelt and take the audience back in time. The mental turmoil Satyam goes through upon not recognizing Karthi adds weight to the narrative. The climax is also well-executed. The film, like a beautiful novel, successfully comes to life on screen, directed flawlessly by Kumar. The slow pace of the story and lack of commercial elements could be seen as drawbacks.







Technically



On the technical front, the background music adds an additional layer of allure to the story, with a continual melody that enhances the emotional depth of the narrative. The visuals are captivating, and the production values are high.







Plus Points



- Story and emotions



- Performances by Karthi and Aravind Swamy



- Music



Minus Points



- Slow-paced narrative



- Lack of commercial elements

'Satyam Sundaram' Movie Review: An Emotional Journey with Stellar Performances by Karthi and Aravind Swamy


Cast: Hima Dasari, Pooja Reddy Bora, Osman Ghani, and others



Director: Ruthvik Yelagari



Music: Sai Teja



Cinematographer: C.H. Sai



Editor: Jai C. Sreekar



Art Director: Aravind Mule



Producer: Manasa Dasari



OTT Platform: ETV Win



Recently, OTT platforms have been home to many unique stories, with ETV Win bringing a different movie every week to entertain its audience. This week, the suspense thriller 'Tatva' was released directly on OTT. Featuring Hima Dasari and Pooja Reddy Bora as leads, directed by Ruthvik Yalagiri, this hour-long film has hit the screens, but did it win over the OTT audience? Let’s find out in this review.







What’s the story?



Arif (Hima Dasari) is a regular taxi driver who suddenly finds himself in need of money. In this quest, businessman Thomas (Osman Ghani) rides in Arif’s taxi. Realizing Thomas has the money he needs, Arif plans to get it by any means necessary. Unexpectedly, Thomas is murdered during their interaction, and Arif gets entangled in the case. Police officer Jyotsna (Pooja Reddy Bora) steps in to investigate. Who killed Thomas? How is Arif involved? What is the relationship between Thomas and Arif? Is Arif innocent? The answers unfold only through watching the movie.







How did they perform?



Although Hima Dasari is the main hero, it’s Osman Ghani who steals the show as Thomas. His portrayal adds depth to the character, making even a smile resonate with underlying intentions. Hima Dasari also captivates as Arif, bringing to life the struggles of a young man. Pooja Reddy landed a significant role, which seems straightforward at first but takes a surprising turn at the climax, pivotal in twisting the story. The film primarily revolves around these three characters, with other actors performing well within their roles.







How’s the direction?



Having worked as an assistant director for movies like 'Run Raja Run' and 'Saaho,' Ruthvik brings a unique style to this thrilling cinema. The film, which explains the fading humanity within individuals, starts grippingly, especially the first 20 minutes. Ruthvik aims to deliver his points without confusion, wrapping up the film in just 58 minutes, a definite plus. However, some scenes stray from logic and feel incomplete, which could have been refined for better impact. Those expecting commercial elements like songs, fights, romance, or love tracks might find it less appealing. Overall, Ruthvik’s directorial effort is commendable.







Technically speaking,



The cinematography is notable, especially considering most of the film takes place at night, delivering good visuals even in low light. The background music also strengthens the film's atmosphere. Editing is decent, and production values are high. Technically, 'Tatva' scores well.







Plus points:



- Characters of Arif and Thomas



- Camera work



- Background music



Minus points:



- Lack of commercial elements



- Some incomplete climax scenes

'Tatva' on ETV Win: Suspense, Thrills, and Unexpected Twists in Ruthvik Yelagari's Latest


It's known that a film based on the epic Ramayana is in the making in Bollywood. Titled 'Ramayana', the film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama and Sai Pallavi as Sita, with Bollywood's star director Nitesh Tiwari helming the project. The shooting for this movie began some time ago, and some photos from the set have already leaked. Meanwhile, the movie team has officially provided some dazzling updates about the movie. Let's take a look at these details now.



In Two Parts...



The film 'Ramayana' is being produced as a prestigious project in Bollywood. Produced in collaboration with leading Bollywood producers and Allu Aravind, the filming has been ongoing for quite some time, yet until now, no official announcement had been made. Noticing the fans' growing dissatisfaction, the movie team has announced the release date without any prior information and revealed that the movie will be released in two parts. They have announced that the first part of Ramayana will be released for Diwali 2026 and the second part for Diwali 2027, as confirmed by a poster release.







Sunny Deol as Hanuman!



It is already known that Kannada star hero Yash will be seen as Ravana in the film 'Ramayana'. Alongside him, several star actors are reported to be part of this big project. Bollywood star hero Sunny Deol is said to be playing the role of Hanuman. Rakul Preet Singh is reportedly playing the role of Surpanakha. Veteran actor Arun Govil, who became extremely popular as Rama in the Hindi 'Ramayana' series, is set to appear as Dasharatha. Furthermore, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana, Indira Krishnan as Kausalya, and Sheeba Chaddha as Mandara are among others reported to be in the cast. This information indicates that many actors from Bollywood are participating in the Ramayana project.

Oscar Winners for Music



To compose music for 'Ramayana', two Oscar winners have joined the field. One is Indian Oscar winner A.R. Rahman, and the other is Hollywood Oscar winner Hans Zimmer. Initially, A.R. Rahman was chosen as the music director for the film, but aiming for international music standards, Hans Zimmer was also brought on board. This marks Hans Zimmer’s first Indian film project, known for his work in Hollywood films like 'The Lion King', 'The Dark Knight Trilogy', and 'Inception'.







Special Focus on Graphics



Following the release of 'Adipurush', where Prabhas starred as Rama and faced heavy criticism particularly for its graphics, being deemed too cartoonish and poorly executed, the 'Ramayana' team is taking extra caution. A graphic team that has worked on Hollywood-level films has been hired for this movie. It's reported that an agreement has been made with the Oscar-winning company DNEG for visual effects, involving a team of 26 experts from both Hollywood and Bollywood. This shows that the movie team is making no compromises when it comes to VFX.







Trivikram Responsible for Telugu Version



The responsibility of writing dialogues for the Telugu version of 'Ramayana' has been entrusted to the renowned dialogue writer Trivikram Srinivas, known for his special place in Tollywood and his strong grasp on Telugu literature. This has been confirmed through various films he has worked on previously. News had surfaced earlier about the 'Ramayana' unit approaching him, and there was a significant discussion on this topic, but Trivikram did not deny any of it, leading Telugu audiences to believe that he is indeed a partner in the 'Ramayana' team.

Megastar Chiranjeevi: Celebrating a Legendary Journey of Dance with a Guinness World Record — Watch These 15 Iconic Songs!


A new trend of cameo appearances has started in the Indian film industry. Industries like Tollywood, Bollywood, and Kollywood, without distinction, are following this trend and reaping successful results. By incorporating stars from other industries into their films for powerful cameo roles, they are creating significant hype among audiences and achieving blockbuster successes. However, many may not know that our Megastar was the pioneer in bringing life to these cameo roles. Chiranjeevi laid the foundation for this trend with a guest role in a Rajinikanth film. What was that film? Let’s explore this special feature on the best cameo films till now.

Chiru's Cameo



Chiranjeevi starred in the Telugu hit 'Attaku Yamudu Ammayiki Mogudu' produced by Geetha Arts under Allu Aravind and directed by Kodandarami Reddy. Later, this film was remade in Tamil with Rajinikanth as 'Maapillai' by Allu Aravind. In this film, Megastar Chiranjeevi made a striking cameo. He appears at a temple stairs fighting a riotous mob intent on disrupting the hero's wedding. Notably, Srihari also appears in these scenes. Chiru even delivered his lines in Tamil himself. When Rajinikanth introduces his mother-in-law, Chiru whispers in his ear, "Your mother-in-law looks good!" (in Tamil) to which Rajinikanth responds jokingly, "You look like you're causing trouble! Leave now, man!" This cameo was unexpected at the time. Chiru and Rajinikanth had already acted together in several films, but this was the first time Chiru appeared in a guest role. Now, this practice is widely adopted across various industries.

Films with Stunning Cameos

In 'Vikram', directed by Lokesh Kanagarajan and starring Kamal Haasan, Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi and Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil played key roles and significantly contributed to the film's success. Suriya appeared as Rolex in the climax, delivering a goosebump-inducing performance.







Brahmastra



In 'Brahmastra', directed by Ayan Mukherjee and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Telugu cinema legend Nagarjuna Akkineni made a special cameo. He impressed everyone with his action sequences.







Waltair Veerayya



In 'Waltair Veerayya', starring Megastar Chiranjeevi, star hero Ravi Teja played an important role, reaffirming his admiration for Chiru. The film achieved good success at the box office.

Chiranjeevi's Pioneering Cameo in Indian Cinema: A Look at the Best Cameo Appearances Across Industries


Cast: Vijay, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prabhu Deva, Prashant Thyagarajan, Kokila Mohan, Jayaram, Sneha, VTV Ganesh, Aravind Akash, Vaibhav Reddy, and others.



Story and Direction: Venkat Prabhu



Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja



Cinematography: Siddharth Nuni



Editing: Venkat Rajan



Producers: Kalpathi S. Aghoram, Kalpathi S. Ganesh, Kalpathi S. Suresh



Tamil star hero Vijay stars in the latest action thriller 'The GOAT' (The Greatest of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. The film also features Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead, with important roles played by Sneha, Laila, Prashant, and Prabhu Deva. This film is notable for its use of de-aging technology. With rumors circulating that this might be Vijay's last film before entering politics, expectations for the film were quite high. How did the film turn out? How much did it captivate the audience? Did it provide another unforgettable success for Vijay or not? Let’s find out in this review.







Plot



Gandhi (Vijay), a special anti-terrorism squad officer, conducts various successful missions with his teammates Sunil (Prashant), Ajay (Ajmal), and Kalyan Sundaram (Prabhu Deva). However, he keeps his job a secret from his wife Anu (Sneha). During one mission abroad, his five-year-old son dies. Believing her husband to be responsible, Anu distances herself from Gandhi. Distraught, Gandhi leaves the force. Years later, on a trip to Moscow, he encounters his son Jeevan (Vijay), whom he thought was dead, alive. Overjoyed, he brings him back to India. From then on, Gandhi’s acquaintances start dying one by one. Who is responsible for these deaths? How did his presumed-dead son come back? How does Gandhi stop the killings? These questions form the crux of the story.







Performances



Vijay delivers a dual role, excelling as Gandhi but the young Vijay’s digitally aged look as Jeevan might feel a bit off, not entirely convincing. Vijay shines again in action sequences and emotional scenes, proving his star quality. Meenakshi Chaudhary as the heroine doesn’t have much of a role, feeling more like a guest appearance. Prashant, Ajmal, and Prabhu Deva as squad members are adequate but not outstanding. Jayaram, as the head of the squad, captivates with his performance. Sneha impresses with her acting as Gandhi’s wife. Tamil youth hero Shiva Karthikeyan makes a mark in a cameo, and Trisha excites in a special song appearance. The rest of the cast performs adequately within their roles.







Direction



Director Venkat Prabhu’s storyline lacks novelty. The narrative of a hero working in defense and the villain raising his son to turn against him has been seen many times before. However, the scenes detailing the son’s revenge feel engaging. The first half is mostly spent introducing the characters, and the plot progresses as expected until the pre-interval. The interval scene raises curiosity for the second half, which, although predictable, includes some twists that surprise the audience. The comedy and dialogues are deeply rooted in Tamil culture, which might not entirely appeal to the Telugu audience. However, Vijay’s fans will likely find the film quite entertaining.







Technically



On the technical front, the songs by Yuvan Shankar Raja are forgettable, not leaving a lasting impact. However, the background music enhances the action sequences, elevating them to another level. The graphic department could have done better, especially with Vijay’s de-aging look. Editing is competent. The production values are high, showing no compromise in terms of budget.







Plus Points



- Vijay’s performance



- Action sequences



- Climax



Minus Points



- Predictable plot



- Slow first half

OTT Telugu Movies: Check Out the New Releases for You This Weekend!


In Tollywood, some pairings create a strong fan base. One such duo is Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and the beautiful Pooja Hegde. Their combo in the movie 'Oka Laila Kosam' captured the audience's attention well, and there were rave reviews about their chemistry. However, they haven't acted together since then. To date, no other films featuring this duo have been released. But there's strong buzz that this pair will be acting together again soon. Akkineni fans are eagerly waiting to see them together on screen once more.



With the Director of Virupaksha...



The film 'Virupaksha' starring Sai Dharam Tej created a sensation in Tollywood, and the director Karthik Varma Dandu received widespread acclaim. Now, there's talk that Naga Chaitanya is set to do a movie with this director. Film circles are discussing that this will be a supernatural thriller. It's reported that Pooja Hegde is being considered for the heroine role. Director Karthik Varma is expected to meet her soon to narrate the story. The film team is hopeful that she will agree to star opposite Chaitu. The movie announcement is likely to include the names of the hero and heroine. However, netizens are humorously commenting that the romance might be slightly awkward since Pooja is taller than Naga Chaitanya.







Pooja Hegde's Future Projects



For the past three years, things haven't been going well for Pooja Hegde. Starting with 'Radhe Shyam' with Prabhas, her series of flops continued with 'Beast,' 'Acharya,' 'Circus,' and 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.' After taking a break from films, she spent quality time with her family. Meanwhile, makers also sidelined her for a while. However, she recently started receiving new offers. She has secured roles in the movies 'Deva,' 'Surya 44,' and 'Thalapathy 69.' If the project with Chaitu goes ahead, it will be her first Telugu film after 'Acharya.'







Chaitu Coming with 'Thandel'



Currently, Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is acting in the film 'Thandel.' Sai Pallavi is starring alongside him. This is their second film together after the blockbuster 'Love Story,' so expectations are high for 'Thandel.' In this film, Naga Chaitanya will be seen as a fisherman. Currently, all his hopes are pinned on this movie. His recent films 'Bangarraju,' 'Thank You,' 'Laal Singh Chaddha,' and last year's 'Custody' were not successful at the box office. Thus, he is determined to achieve success with 'Thandel.' The movie is scheduled to release on February 7, 2025. It is being produced by Bunny Vas under the GA 2 Pictures banner, presented by Allu Aravind. Geetha Arts previously produced '100% Love' with Naga Chaitanya as the hero.







Chai - Sobhita Wedding in December!



After his divorce from Samantha, Tollywood star Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is set to marry actress Sobhita Dhulipala. The wedding is scheduled to take place on December 4. The festivities will begin with the Sangeet on December 2, Mehendi on December 3, and the wedding on December 4. A grand reception is also planned for December 10. The wedding will take place at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. Preparations at Annapurna Studios have already begun, with ongoing setting and decoration work. It's known that only a few people will be invited to the wedding, but the reception will include family, friends, and notable figures from the cinema and political spheres.

There is significant buzz in Tollywood about the movie 'Thandel', starring Akkineni Naga Chaitanya as the hero and Sai Pallavi as the heroine. This romantic action drama is shaping up after their blockbuster 'Love Story'. As this is the second film from the Chaitu-Sai Pallavi combo, expectations are high for 'Thandel'. Movie lovers are eagerly awaiting its release, and a thrilling update from 'Thandel' has just been released, delighting cinema fans.



Shivaratri Special Song



The film 'Thandel', directed by Chandu Mondeti and featuring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, is currently in the shooting phase. A Shivaratri-themed song is being filmed, for which a massive set has been erected. The makers have reportedly spent around 4 crores to make this song a visual treat, involving hundreds of dancers. According to Filmnagar circles, Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya are set to dazzle with dance styles reminiscent of Shiva and Parvati. This is the first time a song of this scale with a Shivaratri theme has been composed in the history of Telugu cinema.

Here is the story of Thandel



'Thandel', the 23rd film in Naga Chaitanya's career, features music by Devi Sri Prasad. In this movie, Naga Chaitanya appears as a fisherman. A group of fishermen from Srikakulam go to Veeraval in Gujarat for fishing and get caught by the Pakistan Coast Guard. The film unfolds with what happens next. The term 'Thandel' means a boat operator in Gujarati and is commonly used by the people in the villages along the Gujarat-Pakistan border, as revealed by director Chandu Mondeti in an interview.







Chaitu’s Hopes Pinned on Thandel



Currently, Naga Chaitanya has set all his hopes on his next film 'Thandel'. After 'Love Story', he has not had a proper hit, with his recent films 'Bangarraju', 'Thank You', 'Laal Singh Chaddha', and last year's 'Custody' being failures at the box office. Therefore, Naga Chaitanya is determined to find success with 'Thandel'. He has reportedly put in a lot of effort for his role as a fisherman. The film is being produced by Bunny Vas under the GA2 Pictures banner, presented by Allu Aravind, who also produced Naga Chaitanya's hit film '100% Love' under Geetha Arts.







Sai Pallavi’s Projects



Currently, Sai Pallavi has some exciting projects in hand. She is acting alongside Tamil star Sivakarthikeyan in the film 'Amaran', which is set to hit theaters on October 31. She is also part of the prestigious Bollywood project 'Ramayana', where she will be seen as Sita. It is reported that she is receiving remuneration of over 15 crores for this role. Additionally, news has surfaced that Sai Pallavi has been chosen as the heroine in an upcoming film by director Sekhar Kammula, featuring hero Nani.
