      <strong>Telugu Dumb Charades(Damsharas): Top 100 Movie Titles, Songs, Dialogues</strong>
      Telugu Dumb Charades(Damsharas): Top 100 Movie Titles, Songs, Dialogues
      [toc] Summer has arrived, and now both children and adults will be spending more time at home. They enjoy themselves at family functions and get-togethers with friends. During such occasions, they have fun playing light-hearted games like Dumb Charades with neighbors. In this game, one person whispers the name of a movie, song, or hero into another's ear, and then that person has to convey it through gestures instead of speaking. The time constraint in this game adds an element of excitement and humor. Many players enjoy selecting challenging names for others to act out in Dumb Charades, which makes it difficult for the other person to convey these names through gestures alone. How to Play Dumb Charade? Form Teams: No matter how many participants there are, split into teams. It could be two, three, or more teams, but ensure each has an equal number of members. Follow these tips for Dumb Charade(Damsharas): Use Gestures: Before starting the game, agree on some common gestures with your team members. For example, to signify a 'movie', you might join your thumb and index finger. To indicate a 'song', place your hand near your mouth and pretend to hum. For portraying a hero, mimic the action of raising a collar; for a heroine, place a hand on your waist and stroll elegantly. These basic gestures can help convey the essence of the Dumb Charade topic effectively. Scoring &amp; Prizes: Having a judge for the Dumb Charades game is advisable. The judge assists in resolving any conflicts between teams and allocates points to the winners of each round. The team that accumulates the most points by the end of the pre-determined number of rounds is declared the winner. To enhance the fun, small prizes can be given to the members of the winning team. In Dumb Charades, participants frequently choose movie titles, songs, and names of actors and actresses. To add a twist and make the game more distinctive, incorporating professions into Dumb Charades can really liven things up. Please review the list of professions provided below. Profession Singer- గాయకుడుDentist- దంతవైద్యుడుArchitect- ఆర్కిటెక్ట్Carpenter-&nbsp; వడ్రంగిWaiter- వెయిటర్Detective-&nbsp; గూఢాచారిPoet- కవిLawyer- న్యాయవాదిModel-&nbsp; మోడల్Goldsmith- బంగారు పని చేసేవారుFarmer-&nbsp; రైతుSoldier- సైనికుడుVehicle Driver– డ్రైవర్Dancer- నృత్యకారుడుNurse- నర్స్Blacksmith-&nbsp; లోహాలు తయారు చేసే వ్యక్తి(కమ్మరి)Writer- రచయితWasherman-&nbsp; బట్టలు ఉతికే వ్యక్తిFlorist- పూల ఆలంకరణ చేసే వ్యక్తిPilot- పైలెట్Cook- వంటవాడుLibrarian- లైబ్రెరియన్Clown- విదిషకుడు( కామెడీ చేసే వ్యక్తిFisherman- చేపలు పట్టే వ్యక్తిMechanic-&nbsp; మెకానిక్Artist- చిత్రకారుడుJeweler- ఆభరణాలు తయారు చేేేసే వ్యక్తిClerk- క్లర్క్( గుమస్తా)Policeman- పోలీస్Journalist- విలేఖరిSecurity Guard- సెక్యురిటీగార్డ్Accountant- అకౌంటెంట్Astrologer- జ్యోతిష్కుడుPhotographer- ఫొటోగ్రాఫర్Betel-seller- తమలపాకులు అమ్మె వ్యక్తిGardener- తోటమాలిTeacher- ఉపాధ్యాయుడుActor-&nbsp; నటుడుAthlete- అథ్లెట్Servant/Maid-&nbsp; పనిమనిషి In Damsharas, participants must mimic the typical activities of individuals from various professions. For instance, if portraying a doctor, you could pretend to use a stethoscope or administer an injection. Likewise, other professions should be depicted with actions that highlight their main duties. To enhance patriotism in schools and educational institutions, you can include the names of freedom fighters in this game. This makes the game not only more unique but also more engaging. When players successfully guess the name and then learn about the significance of that freedom fighter, it significantly enhances the gameplay experience.

      Celebrating #HBD Prabhas: 10 Lesser-Known Facts About the Baahubali Star on His Birthday!
      Celebrating #HBD Prabhas: 10 Lesser-Known Facts About the Baahubali Star on His Birthday!
      Pan-India star Prabhas has won millions of fans with his acting and his kindness. Particularly recognized for his role in 'Baahubali,' he brought Telugu cinema to a global stage. It can be said that the records created by Prabhas as a movie hero are unparalleled. Today (October 23) is Prabhas' birthday. As he steps into his 45th year, here are some intriguing details about his personal and film career for you. Average in Studies Prabhas was an average student academically. He wasn't the type to sit in class for long periods and looked forward to the drill period eagerly. He was known for skipping classes to play games. Forgetful Prabhas is somewhat forgetful. He shared in an interview that his friends used to call him 'Ghajini' since his school days. He recounted how he often forgot his pen during exams and would leave his book in one place and forget where it was. He has admitted that he has improved a bit since his childhood. 'You, a Hero?' At the beginning of his career, when Prabhas told a friend that he wanted to become a film hero, his friend laughed and said, 'You, a hero?' When he shared this with his family, they were initially shocked but later sent him to Satyanand in Visakhapatnam for training. After three months of training, he received the offer for 'Eeswar.' The Reason Behind the Darling Call Prabhas frequently uses the word 'Darling' to address his friends and close ones. He explained that he feels uncomfortable calling someone brother or 'anna,' which is why he prefers calling them 'Darling.' Noticing this, director Puri Jagannadh popularized this nickname through the film 'Bujjigadu,' and it became even more popular with the movie 'Darling.' Guest Roles The Rebel Star Prabhas appeared in a guest role in the Hindi movie 'Action Jackson' (2014) directed by dance master Prabhu Deva starring Ajay Devgn. In the song 'Punjabi Mast,' he danced alongside Sonakshi Sinha. Decades later, he is set to appear in a guest role in the movie 'Kannappa' and gave a voice-over for the movie 'Denikaina Ready.' Two Films with His Uncle The late actor Krishnam Raju was Prabhas’ uncle, and Prabhas entered the industry as his heir. Prabhas deeply admired his uncle and acted with him in films like 'Billa' and 'Rebel.' Prabhas often shares that these two films provided him with many sweet memories. Thrice With Each In his career, Prabhas has acted in the most films with two heroines, Trisha and Anushka, sharing the screen three times each. He starred with Trisha in 'Bujjigadu,' 'Varsham,' and 'Pournami.' With Anushka, he acted in 'Billa,' 'Mirchi,' and 'Baahubali.' The First South Indian Hero Prabhas was the first South Indian hero to have a wax statue at the prestigious Madame Tussauds in the 'Baahubali' getup. Following him, Tollywood stars Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, and recently Ram Charan have achieved this honor. If Not an Actor... Prabhas once expressed that working with the famous Bollywood director Rajkumar Hirani would be a dream come true. If he had not been an actor, he mentioned that he would have settled in the hotel business.

      Why Trying to Imitate Rajamouli’s Magic Backfires: The Lessons 'Kanguva' and Other Films Learned the Hard Way
      Why Trying to Imitate Rajamouli’s Magic Backfires: The Lessons 'Kanguva' and Other Films Learned the Hard Way
      Among the nation's esteemed directors, Rajamouli holds a top position. From the beginning of his career to the present, he has maintained a streak of success without a single flop. Rajamouli is a master at grasping the pulse of the audience and crafting films accordingly. To date, each of the 12 films released under Rajamouli's direction has achieved unique acclaim and remains evergreen in the eyes of the audience. However, many directors have attempted to emulate Rajamouli's style and failed. They tried making films with similar themes to Rajamouli's and ended up burning their fingers. Recently, Kanguva also followed Rajamouli's pattern but ended up disappointing the audience. What are the reasons for this? What other films have faced setbacks by following Rajamouli's approach? Let's find out. Did They Err by Comparing It to 'Baahubali'? The film Kanguva, directed by Shiva starring Suriya, was released worldwide on November 14. The pre-release event of this film invited Rajamouli, and the promotions hyped it as what 'Baahubali' is to Tollywood, 'Kanguva' would be to Kollywood, setting high expectations. However, post-release, the situation seems to have turned upside down. Viewers felt that the film lacked the substance found in 'Baahubali' and criticized director Shiva for his flawed storytelling. Rajamouli is known for evoking strong emotions, but Kanguva failed to resonate emotionally with the audience. The characters could not engage the audience on a journey, and viewers commented that it's worth watching the film only for Suriya's performance. Those Films Too Were the Same! Like 'Kanguva,' several past films have tried to replicate Rajamouli's formula and ended up being unsuccessful. The movie 'Sakthi' (2011) featuring Jr. NTR and directed by Meher Ramesh, aimed to captivate like 'Magadheera' but flopped. 'Sakthi' also revolved around a reincarnation theme but failed to capture the Telugu audience. 'Brahmastra,' starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, despite its large budget, failed to impress due to its inadequate content and visual spectacle. Even 'Ponniyin Selvan,' despite garnering positive reviews in Kollywood, could not create a sensation and only the first part met expectations while the second part did not live up to the hype. Bollywood’s 'Shamshera,' set against a British backdrop similar to RRR, also faced a terrible defeat. In Tamil, 'Puli' and in Malayalam, 'Marakkar,' although creating significant buzz in the style of a Rajamouli film, failed to succeed. The Secret to Rajamouli’s Success! When people think of a Rajamouli film, they envision a stellar cast, massive budget, spectacular graphics, and an evergreen story. These elements are considered reasons for his films’ sensational success. However, these factors are just key components that aid success, not the core of it. Rajamouli's real formula lies in the emotional drama—something many films miss and only Rajamouli manages to carry through. He places significant emphasis on emotions in his films, which he believes are crucial for success. Rajamouli creates an emotional bond between the viewer and the characters, drawing the audience deeply into his movies. This engagement makes the characters linger with the viewers, even after leaving the cinema, prompting them to revisit the film. This emotional connection is something many directors struggle to emulate. Rajamouli Busy with Upcoming Projects Following RRR, Rajamouli is set to direct a new film featuring Mahesh Babu, known as SSMB 29, which will be a pan-world movie. This upcoming film will showcase Mahesh in a never-before-seen look, set against the backdrop of the Amazon forests, with significant location scouting happening in South Africa. British actress Naomi Scott has been confirmed as the heroine. The initial schedule will be completed in a Varanasi set in Hyderabad, after which the second schedule will move to South Africa.

      The Boy Who Wore 'Johnny' Headband for 7 Days Now Directs His Icon Pawan Kalyan: Sujeeth's Story
      The Boy Who Wore 'Johnny' Headband for 7 Days Now Directs His Icon Pawan Kalyan: Sujeeth's Story
      Young director Sujeeth (HBD Sujeeth) has carved a unique niche for himself in Tollywood. Although he has directed only two films so far, he has garnered a craze that many directors achieve only after many more films. Starting with 'Run Raja Run' as a director, Sujeeth caught everyone's attention at the pan-India level with 'Saaho'. Currently, he is directing 'OG' with Pawan Kalyan, capturing the mega fans' focus. Today, this talented director steps into his 34th year. Let's take a look at some secrets of his career. Making Short Films at 17 Sujeeth Reddy was born in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, on October 26, 1990. Initially dreaming of becoming a Chartered Accountant, his growing interest in films led him to enroll in the L.V. Prasad Film &amp; TV Academy. He started making short films on YouTube at the age of 17 and has directed over 30 short films to date. Creativity in Short Films Typically, YouTube short films are made on a low budget and are not expected to meet high standards. However, Sujeeth's films like 'Run Raja Run', 'Prema Ishq Kaadhal', 'Thokkalo Love Story', 'Vesham', 'Yuddham', 'Prema Care of Drama', and 'Indian Idol' surprised the film industry with their richness and showcased his mesmerizing creativity. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sujeeth (@sujeethsign) Initial Family Resistance When Sujeeth expressed his desire to become a director, his family was initially reluctant. However, seeing his dedication to cinema, they eventually supported his decision. His mother even bought him his first camera with her own money, marking the beginning of his journey in the industry. Guidance from Puri Jagannadh Upon entering the industry with the aim to direct, Sujeeth initially decided to work as an assistant director under Puri Jagannadh. Meeting him, Puri recognized Sujeeth's abundant directorial skills and encouraged him to pursue directing. Director at 23 While trying for a directorial break, UV Creations recognized Sujeeth's talent and offered him a chance to direct 'Run Raja Run'. Thus, at just 23, Sujeeth became a director and achieved solid success with his debut film. Turning a Short Film into a Feature Interestingly, 'Run Raja Run', which brought him significant recognition, was originally a short film that Sujeeth transformed into his first full-length feature by making a few changes to the story. Before 'Baahubali' UV Creations, which produced Prabhas's 'Mirchi', planned a second film with him and accepted a story from Sujeeth, which Prabhas liked. However, 'Baahubali' has not been released yet. After 'Baahubali', Prabhas's fame skyrocketed, leading Sujeeth to make adjustments to the story, and thus 'Saaho' was made on a pan-India scale. Despite not achieving expected success, Sujeeth's work at such a young age surprised everyone. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sujeeth (@sujeethsign) From Fan to Directing Pawan Kalyan Sujeeth has been a fervent fan of Power Star Pawan Kalyan, mentioning in interviews that he went to see 'Johnny' with a band around his head and kept it for seven days. He also attended 'Gabbar Singh' release as a rally. Rising from that stage to directing Pawan Kalyan in 'OG' is no small feat. Love for Japanese Cinema Director Sujeeth has a special affinity for Japanese cinema, which he openly discussed in interviews. He mentioned that Japanese films also influenced 'OG', the film he is currently directing with Pawan Kalyan. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sujeeth (@sujeethsign) Traveling with Friends Whenever Sujeeth gets time, he loves to travel with his friends around the world, sharing pictures from their trips on his Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sujeeth (@sujeethsign) Passion for Cricket Sujeeth is a big cricket enthusiast, frequently mentioning Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar as his favorite players. Devotion Sujeeth is quite devout, often visiting temples whenever he finds the time. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sujeeth (@sujeethsign) Married to His Sweetheart Director Sujeeth had a love marriage in 2020, tying the knot with Pravallika in the presence of family members. https://twitter.com/Filmiparadise/status/1271319435127603205 Nominated as Best Debut Director For his first film 'Run Raja Run', Sujeeth was nominated as the Best Debut Director at the Nandi Awards. His second film, 'Saaho', earned him a Best Director award at the SIIMA. Birthday Special Video Today, on director Sujeeth's birthday, the 'OG' team shared a special video sending him birthday wishes, compiling clips related to Sujeeth from the shooting spot.

      The recent film featuring Jr NTR and directed by Koratala Siva, 'Devara: Part 1,' released worldwide on September 27, has secured a solid victory at the box office. Despite mixed initial reviews, the film showed remarkable strength in its collections, setting records from the very first day. Having completed 10 days since its release, the producers have officially announced the collections, and the figures have left everyone astounded, commenting on the unrelenting rampage of Devara. [toc] Approaching ₹500 Crore... In 'Devara,' Tarak was paired with Janhvi Kapoor, and Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan played the villain. In terms of collections, the film has grossed ₹466 crore worldwide within these 10 days. The makers have released a special poster to announce this achievement. With blockbuster collections, the movie continues to perform well in theaters. In the Telugu states alone, the film grossed ₹193.55 crore, with Karnataka contributing ₹16.40 crore, Tamil Nadu ₹4 crore, Kerala ₹92 lakhs, and the rest of India, including Hindi regions, adding ₹29.80 crore. If this momentum continues, Devara is likely to hit the ₹500 crore mark over this weekend.

It collected approximately ₹83.71 crore in the two Telugu states alone, making it the second film to achieve such high collections after 'RRR'. By the end of the first weekend, Devara had already reached the ₹300 crore mark, with a total of ₹304 crore grossed in just three days. Although collections gradually decreased thereafter, the film still managed to turn profitable for the distributors. With no major releases last week, Devara faced no significant competition this weekend, likely easing its path to the ₹500 crore mark. Profits from Sunday By the end of the second Saturday (September 5) shows, Devara had crossed the break-even point in almost all areas. From Sunday onwards, all collections are profits. The Dussehra holidays and the lack of other major releases provide a big advantage for Devara. The film's collections are also stable overseas.

      Prabhas 'Spirit' Set to Break Records: A ₹1000 Crore Mega Movie with Dual Roles and Star-Studded Cast!
      After gaining nationwide fame with the movie 'Animal', director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's unique directing skills have mesmerized everyone. Although his talent was already known to the Telugu audience from 'Arjun Reddy', it was 'Animal' that made it clear to the entire country. It is known that his next project is with Prabhas. Sandeep is currently busy with the pre-production work of 'Spirit'. A crazy update about this movie is making rounds online, and it is being touted as the biggest movie in Prabhas’ career. Let's look at the details. With a massive budget... There are high expectations nationwide for 'Spirit', directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Prabhas. Everyone is eagerly waiting for this film to start shooting. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is currently busy with pre-production. In the meantime, news about this movie is causing a stir online. The budget for this film is rumored to be around Rs. 1000 crores. Initially, the budget was said to be Rs. 500 crores, later reports suggested it increased to Rs. 750 crores. Now, the buzz is that it has reached Rs. 1000 crores. If true, this would make 'Spirit' the biggest movie in terms of budget in Prabhas' career. Remunerations amount to Rs. 600 crores! It is reported that out of the budget allocated for 'Spirit', Rs. 600 crores will be spent on remunerations alone. Film circles are buzzing that Prabhas, who will be playing a dual role, is set to receive about Rs. 300 crores. Given that he is taking on two roles, this remuneration is considered justifiable. Similarly, Bollywood stars Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, and Kareena Kapoor are said to have special roles in the movie. With such star power, the film's budget necessarily includes a significant amount for remunerations. Additionally, Rs. 300 crores are allocated for movie making, Rs. 120-150 crores for graphics, and another Rs. 50-80 crores for promotions. Mammootty in a special role! There is strong buzz that a star hero will be acting in 'Spirit'. Malayalam superstar Mammootty is rumored to play a crucial role in the film, which is said to be vital to the story. An official announcement from the film unit is awaited. The movie is also rumored to feature Bollywood couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in roles with negative shades, along with Korean and Chinese stars. Police vs. Mafia Don! There is strong buzz that Prabhas will perform dual roles in 'Spirit'. He is said to appear as a police officer in one role and as a mafia don in another, the latter having negative shades. If this is true, fans are anticipating a box office sensation. The film is expected to start shooting from January 25 next year. Previously, Prabhas has played dual roles in three films. His first was 'Billa', followed by dual roles in the 'Baahubali' series, and he is rumored to be doing the same in the upcoming 'Raja Saab'.

      When it comes to the most eligible bachelors in Tollywood and the broader Indian film industry, Prabhas is often the first name that comes to mind. Discussions about this pan-India star's marriage have surfaced multiple times on social media. There have been past rumors about Prabhas dating star actresses like Kriti Sanon and Anushka Shetty. However, Prabhas has never commented on these rumors, which eventually were dismissed as baseless. Whenever asked about marriage, Prabhas usually just smiles and dodges the question. Recently, star actress Tamannaah has made some interesting comments about Prabhas' marriage. What Did Tamannaah Say About Prabhas' Marriage? Tamannaah, known as the 'Milk Beauty', starred as the heroine opposite Prabhas in the blockbuster film 'Baahubali' directed by the legendary director Rajamouli.

She likened Prabhas in real life to his character Amarendra Baahubali, describing him as a simple man with a heart as noble as a king and a strong personality. Tamannaah's Fond Friends Tamannaah has often spoken about Prabhas' marriage in the past. Once, she revealed that her friends and cousins are fond of Prabhas and pressured her to introduce them personally. She expressed her fondness for working with Prabhas and clarified that they would collaborate again if the right script comes along, looking forward to future opportunities to act with him. Before 'Baahubali', Tamannaah and Prabhas had already shared the screen in 'Rebel', a film released in 2012 directed by Raghava Lawrence, which received mixed responses at the box office. Prabhas in 'Fauji' Shoot! It is known that Prabhas is currently working on a movie in collaboration with director Hanu Raghavapudi. The shooting for this movie started a few days ago.

      Devara Movie Review: : Jr. NTR’s Stellar Acting Overshadowed by an Uneven Narrative
      Devara Movie Review: : Jr. NTR’s Stellar Acting Overshadowed by an Uneven Narrative
      Cast: NTR, Janhvi Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Shruti Marathe, Prakash Raj, Srikanth, Shine Tom Chacko, and others. Written and Directed by: Koratala Siva Music by: Anirudh Ravichander Cinematography by: R. Rathnavelu Editing by: A. Sreekar Prasad Produced by: Sudhakar Mikkilineni, Kosaraju Harikrishna, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram Release Date: September 27, 2024 NTR stars in an action drama 'Devara', directed by Koratala Siva, with Janhvi Kapoor as the heroine. NTR returns to dual roles after many years, portraying the characters of Devara and Vara. The promotional materials already released have heightened expectations. Saif Ali Khan plays the antagonist, with significant roles being filled by Prakash Raj, Srikanth, and Shine Tom Chacko. The movie has completed all its schedules and released worldwide on September 27. But how is the film? Does it meet the expectations? Has it impressed the audience or not? Let's find out in this review. The Story Located on a hill at the border between Andhra and Tamil Nadu are four villages collectively known as the Red Sea. Here, Devara (NTR) along with Bhairava (Saif Ali Khan), Rayappa (Srikanth), and Kunjara (Shine Tom Chacko) serve as the heads of each village. Their job involves smuggling goods through the sea to Murugan (Murali Sharma) without getting caught by authorities. However, realizing the damage caused, Devara decides to put an end to their smuggling activities. Bhairava disagrees, sparking a conflict between them. Devara instills deep fear in everyone. Bhairava then plans to kill Devara. Does his plan succeed? What pivotal decision does Devara make to stop the smuggling? Why does his son Vara (NTR) become fearful? Who kills Bhairava's men trying to enter the sea? How does Vara's romance with Thangam (Janhvi Kapoor) develop? What is Devara’s connection with gangster Yathi? Watch the movie to know. Performances There's no need to specifically mention Tarak's acting; he immerses himself in any role he takes. In this movie, too, he impresses as both Devara and Vara, bringing variations that captivate the audience. He reaffirms his prowess in action scenes and dazzles in dance sequences. Janhvi Kapoor, making her Tollywood debut, fits perfectly as the village girl Thangam, appearing authentic as a Telugu girl, though her screen time is brief. Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan captivates as the villain, making a strong impact in a role that competes with Tarak's. Srikanth, Prakash Raj, Ajay, Murali Sharma, Shruti, and others play significant roles, with other actors performing well within their limits. Direction Director Koratala Siva creates a new world named 'Red Sea' and attempts to weave drama and emotions in his unique style. The first half unfolds the story of the Red Sea, the characters Devara and Bhaira, their transformation into smugglers, their conflicts, songs, and the terror Devara instills, all showcased effectively by Koratala. The interval bang is also excellently planned. While the first half revolves around Devara, the second half introduces Vara. The entry of the second NTR is well-executed, but the story seems stretched afterwards. Janhvi Kapoor’s scenes feel forced, except for a song, and the rest seem tedious. The pre-climax action scenes inside the sea are spectacular, but the climax, while engaging, reminds one of the movie Baahubali. Koratala sets up for a part two, ending Devara's story. However, the second part lacks the impact of the first, with a weak love track, dragged scenes, predictable narrative, and missing the typical Koratala mark being the downsides. Technically On the technical front, all departments have performed well. Anirudh's background music is another major strength of the movie, enhancing the film with his distinctive BGM. The songs are good, with 'Chuttammalle' likely to generate whistles in theatres. Rathnavelu's cinematography is excellent, richly presenting each scene. Editing is decent. The production values are high, sparing no expense. Plus Points - NTR's performance - First half - Cinematography - Music Minus Points - Second part - Weak love track Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 3/5 Devara Public Talk: What Are Netizens Saying? Viewers who have watched 'Devara' are expressing their opinions on Twitter. There's a shower of praise for Tarak's acting and the action sequences. Particularly, the songs and background music provided by Anirudh have been outstanding, as per the comments. At the same time, there are some negative posts also appearing about 'Devara'. Let's take a look at them. One netizen commented that NTR's performance in 'Devara' is outstanding. He posted that 'Devara' would appeal to audiences from all segments. https://twitter.com/vamsikaka/status/1839539465427263788 Netizens are saying that the background music Anirudh provided for 'Devara' is next level. One netizen's post directed at Anirudh, saying "What a beat, man!" is going viral. https://twitter.com/NaveenKRaju22/status/1839415238132924882? Another netizen posted that theaters are packed because of 'Devara'. He commented that the first half is fantastic.. the second half is superb.. and the BGM is high-voltage. https://twitter.com/Keerthan0712/status/1839544841291825305 Another netizen posted that the first part of 'Devara' is very good. However, he mentioned that the second part is quite predictable but overall, 'Devara' is satisfying. https://twitter.com/venkyreviews/status/1839437743883178036 One netizen expressed deep disappointment with the film 'Devara', stating it failed to meet expectations. He questioned why Janhvi was chosen as the heroine, indicating it was a puzzling decision. https://twitter.com/Fukkard/status/1839446863818162549 Devara Public Talk

      Putin Praises Indian Films: Will 'Pushpa 2' Conquer the Russian Box Office?
      Putin Praises Indian Films: Will 'Pushpa 2' Conquer the Russian Box Office?
      The reputation of Indian cinema has now reached an international level. In the past, Indian stars were rarely invited to international film festivals, but this scenario has significantly changed, especially since the release of "Baahubali." Indian films are now being dubbed and released directly in foreign languages in countries like Japan, China, and Russia. In this context, Russian President Vladimir Putin made interesting remarks about the Indian film industry, which have become a hot topic nationwide. What did Putin say? The BRICS summit, consisting of five member countries including India, is scheduled to take place in Russia on the 22nd and 23rd of this month. In a media session ahead of the BRICS meetings, Putin responded to questions about incentives for films from BRICS countries in Russia. He mentioned that Indian films are well-received in Russia and even noted the existence of a dedicated TV channel that runs Indian movies 24/7. He clearly expressed a keen interest in Indian films and confirmed Russia's favorable stance towards showcasing Indian movies, promising a special platform to promote these films. He also mentioned that discussions would be held with Indian Prime Minister Modi on this matter. https://twitter.com/villan_97/status/1845762894119801258 Russians Enthralled by "Pushpa"! Recently, Russian audiences have shown great appreciation for Indian films. Putin's latest comments are likely to further boost the market for Indian cinema in Russia. The film "Pushpa," directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun, was released directly in Russia on December 8, 2021. The audience there particularly enjoyed the film, which ran successfully on 774 screens for 25 days, collecting 10 million rubles (approximately ₹13 crores). This makes "Pushpa" the highest-grossing South Indian movie released in Russia. https://twitter.com/villan_97/status/1845762894119801258 Will "Pushpa 2" Benefit? Film analysts believe that Putin's latest comments could have greatly encouraged the team of "Pushpa 2." With a box office target of over ₹1000 crores, "Pushpa 2" is set to release grandly on December 6. "Pushpa" already has a strong fan following in Russia, and Putin's recent assurances of support for Indian cinema promotions suggest that leveraging this opportunity to grandly release "Pushpa 2" in Russia would be beneficial. There are also plans to dub "Pushpa 2" in Russian as part of its overseas release strategy, which is expected to positively impact the movie's collections. It remains to be seen how the "Pushpa" team will seize this opportunity. https://twitter.com/villan_97/status/1845762894119801258 Hype Boosted by Devi Sri Music director Devi Sri Prasad has made interesting comments about the pan-India film "Pushpa 2," directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun. He stated that the film would be on another level, particularly praising the first half as mind-blowing. He revealed that the locked first half contains three scenes that could be interval-level high, increasing the excitement among fans. Devi Sri also hinted that the background music for "Pushpa 2" would be outstanding. https://twitter.com/villan_97/status/1845762894119801258 Item Song with Mrunal! The songs from the movie "Pushpa" were a huge hit, especially the item song "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava," which became a sensation across the country, with Samantha mesmerizing with her beauty and the dance steps with Bunny (Allu Arjun) thrilling the youth. Thus, director Sukumar plans to include a similar item song in "Pushpa 2." Recently, the name of Mrunal Thakur has come up as a potential candidate for this special song in "Pushpa 2." There has been speculation online about negotiations with her. Previously, Tripti Dimri was considered for this song, and there were rumors about choosing Bollywood beauty Disha Patani instead. Now, Mrunal Thakur is being mentioned. The film unit needs to provide clarity on this matter. https://twitter.com/villan_97/status/1845762894119801258

He lavished praise on the upcoming Mahesh-Rajamouli film, proclaiming 'SSMB29' as the 'Baap of All'. Varma highlighted that Rajamouli has put significant effort into this film following 'RRR'. He confidently stated that the film would exceed all expectations. His comments have gone viral on social media, extensively shared by Mahesh’s fans. https://twitter.com/i/status/1815971837337297111 Luxury Life Beyond Rajamouli: RGV Varma also praised director Rajamouli, mentioning that even Bollywood films couldn’t match the collections of 'Baahubali'. He stated, “Rajamouli's success isn’t just about Telugu cinema; it's all about him. Perhaps he would have made the same impact no matter where he was born. The action sequences in 'RRR' are incredibly unique. It's because of 'RRR' that many countries learned about Indian cinema. No matter how big a hit his films are, Rajamouli doesn’t boast. I lead a more luxurious life than Rajamouli.” These comments by RGV have also trended on social media. Regarding Hardik Pandya’s Divorce... Recently, the news about Hardik Pandya and Natasha Stankovic's divorce was announced. Varma responded in his unique style, stating, "If marriages are decided in hell, divorces are decided in heaven. It’s better to hire a nurse for care than to marry. Divorce cases are increasingly becoming common. It’s foolish for poor people to spend money on this. If love blinds you, marriage will surely open your eyes." These posts too went viral on social media. https://twitter.com/RGVzoomin/status/1814612480649535830 https://twitter.com/RGVzoomin/status/1814614163593044241 https://twitter.com/RGVzoomin/status/1814615965612863618 In September On the Sets! Pre-production work for 'SSMB29' is near to completion, and the remaining tasks are expected to be finished soon, with plans to start shooting in September. Recently, there have been rumors online that Mahesh will play dual roles in the film, one of which includes negative shades. Mahesh has never played a double role or a character with negative shades in any of his previous 28 films, making this update particularly intriguing to his fans. The truth of these rumors needs to be confirmed by Rajamouli’s team.

      Global star Prabhas is currently at the peak of his career. His recent films, 'Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire' and 'Kalki 2898 AD', have been major box office successes, reinforcing his status as a top actor. Since the release of 'Baahubali 2', there has been a noticeable increase in the momentum of his films, with annual releases now a consistent part of his strategy. Last year, he starred in two films, and this year he has already introduced audiences to 'Kalki'. Next year, he is scheduled to appear in three films. Let’s delve into more details about these upcoming projects. Three upcoming films in the pipeline! After 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2', Prabhas's appeal has skyrocketed, elevating him from a regional Tollywood star to a global icon. He is not only maintaining this status but is also enhancing it with each new film. Currently, Prabhas has five major projects lined up. He is working on 'Raja Saab' with director Maruthi, 'Spirit' with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, 'Kalki 2' with Nag Ashwin, and 'Salaar 2' with Prashanth Neel, along with a new film with Hanu Raghavapudi. The first three films are set to release in 2025, with 'Raja Saab' already scheduled for an April 10, 2025 release. Producer Ashwini Dutt recently mentioned in an interview that the shooting for 'Kalki 2' is partially completed and hinted at a potential release around June next year. Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Spirit' is expected to start production soon, with plans to release by the end of next year. Given these developments, it is confirmed that Prabhas will have three releases in 2025, as per Tollywood buzz. Prabhas's consistent performance! Prabhas is embracing the maxim "Strike while the iron is hot," actively producing films to enhance his popularity and fanbase at the peak of his career. He has been rapidly completing projects, offering double the entertainment to his fans. In 2023, he presented 'Adipurush' and 'Salaar' to his audience. This year, he has already entertained his fans with 'Kalki', and he is poised to appear in a cameo in 'Kannappa' this December. Looking ahead, he has three films lined up for 2025, and he is gearing up for 'Salaar 2' and a new project with Hanu Raghavapudi for 2026. While other leading actors like Tarak, Allu Arjun, and Ram Charan are planning their releases with more time in between, Prabhas is swiftly producing movies, especially pan-India films, which is astonishing to everyone in the industry. Prabhas races to lead! The makers have officially announced that Prabhas's upcoming film 'Raja Saab' will be a summer treat in 2025, releasing globally in five languages (Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi) on April 10. However, many major films have already entered the 2025 summer race. Naga Chaitanya's 'Thandel' and a multistarrer featuring Nagarjuna and Dhanush titled 'Kubera' are planned for next summer. Additionally, 'Toxic' starring Yash of 'KGF' fame and 'Sikandar' featuring Salman Khan are also targeting the summer of 2025. With Prabhas's film date locked, it's intriguing to see if these films will stick to their summer release plans or if they will adjust their schedules.

      SSMB29: Mahesh's Look is Different! Jakkanna Has Really Pulled Off Something Great!
      SSMB29: Mahesh's Look is Different! Jakkanna Has Really Pulled Off Something Great!
      There's no need to specify just how high the expectations soar when it comes to a film by SS Rajamouli. With superstar Mahesh Babu teaming up with Jakkanna for this film, the entire nation's eyes are fixed on this project. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the day this exciting combo hits the sets. Meanwhile, Mahesh is undergoing a striking makeover for the film. Recently, when Mahesh and his wife met Telangana's CM Revanth Reddy, his look went viral. Pictures of Mahesh sporting long hair and a beard have been going viral on the internet, fueling speculation that this might be his look in SSMB29. However, there seems to be a big twist here. Let's find out what it is. Is Mahesh's Look the Real Deal? Fans are going crazy over Mahesh's latest look, praising him as looking like a Hollywood hero. Comments indicate that this look is finalized for 'SSMB29'. Yet, the latest buzz suggests that this is indeed the look Mahesh will sport in the film. After growing his beard and hair, Rajamouli is planning to bring in a hair stylist from abroad to craft four to five looks for Mahesh, one of which will be finalized. So, Mahesh's fans who thought the current look was final might be in for a surprise. They believe Jakkanna has really pulled a fast one on them. Thus, Mahesh Has Freedom! Rajamouli always pays special attention to the looks of his heroes in films, making sure they don’t leak before the film's release. He sets conditions for his heroes to ensure their looks are not revealed during the shooting. This was followed by Prabhas, Ram Charan, and Tarak during the shoots of 'Baahubali' and 'RRR'. However, Mahesh has been freely posing for cameras at various events, revealing his makeover in one form or another. But this freedom might be because this look isn’t the final one. Once the real look is finalized, there’s a chance Mahesh will be more cautious about not being exposed. Rajamouli’s Master Plan! For the upcoming film 'SSMB29' starring Mahesh Babu, director Rajamouli has decided to proceed with a new strategy. Typically, Rajamouli's movies involve significant VFX work, requiring simultaneous progress with the shooting. To address this, he has planned to shoot VFX-heavy scenes first and has already begun pre-production works. These scenes will be handed over to VFX companies in advance, and Rajamouli will then focus on the remaining shooting. This approach will allow both VFX work and shooting to be completed concurrently, speeding up the film's completion, which is making the fans extremely happy. Answering the Critics SS Rajamouli holds a top spot among India’s most esteemed directors. However, he has been critiqued lately for taking three to four years to release a film. Throughout his 23-year career, he has only released 12 films. His decision regarding VFX work is seen as a strategic move by the film industry. This could potentially allow for the film to be released within a couple of years. Estimates suggest that 'SSMB 29' could hit the screens by the end of 2026, even if it starts rolling next year.

      SSMB 29: Mahesh Babu Fans angry with Rajamouli
      SSMB 29: Mahesh Babu Fans angry with Rajamouli
      Superstar Mahesh Babu and renowned director SS Rajamouli are teaming up for a highly anticipated big-budget film. Mahesh Babu has even changed his look in preparation, and both he and his fans are keenly awaiting details about when the international-scale production will start. Currently, 'SSMB29' is in the midst of active pre-production. However, recent developments have led to a surge of dissatisfaction among Mahesh Babu's fans towards director Rajamouli. Let's delve into the specifics of this update that has fans so upset. Here's Why the Fans Are Angry! Fans have been eagerly anticipating the 'SSMB29' project, a collaboration between Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli. Despite the pre-production work having been underway for a long time, no official announcement has come from the team yet. Fans had been hoping for an announcement on August 9th, Mahesh Babu’s birthday, but recent buzz suggests that there won't be any announcement regarding the film on that day. This news going viral online has infuriated Mahesh Babu's fans, who are questioning Rajamouli's decisions. However, some fans still believe that Rajamouli will definitely give a birthday treat. Heading to Sets in September! The pre-production work for 'SSMB29' is nearly complete. Director Rajamouli plans to start filming in September after wrapping up the remaining preparations. Recent buzz online has also speculated that Mahesh Babu will play dual roles in the film, including one with negative shades. Mahesh Babu has never played a dual role or a character with negative shades in any of his previous 28 films, which makes this update particularly exciting for fans. The veracity of this information needs confirmation from Rajamouli's team. The Film Will Be a Trilogy! Another exciting rumor about the 'SSMB 29' project is causing a stir online: the film will be released in three parts. It’s said that Rajamouli has proposed to the makers to develop the movie in three parts, considering the extensive scope for graphics and the depth of the story requiring at least three parts to be fully told.&nbsp; Rajamouli spent five years completing the two-part 'Baahubali' saga. Now, there's speculation on how many years it will take to complete three parts for Mahesh Babu’s film. Nassar Joins the Movie Team! Recently, interesting news has also trended online that renowned actor Nassar is involved in the movie. He has been participating in workshops along with other actors, offering valuable suggestions and advice to Mahesh Babu, particularly in delivering dialogues. Nassar, a seasoned theater artist known for his roles in Telugu and Tamil films, has previously helped in Rajamouli’s 'Baahubali' and 'RRR' to teach actors how to deliver dialogues appropriate to various regional accents. His iconic performance as Bijjaladeva in 'Baahubali' has left a lasting impression. https://twitter.com/Fukkard/status/1810503350913585650

      Kalki 2898 AD Day 2 Collections
      Kalki 2898 AD Day 2 Collections
      The film "Kalki 2898 AD," directed by Nag Ashwin starring Prabhas, is successfully being showcased globally. Released in theaters worldwide on June 27, the film is creating a storm at the box office, with house-full boards lighting up across the country. On its opening day, the movie grossed a sensational Rs. 191.50 crores, drawing all eyes to its second-day performance. Let's now look at how it fared on the second day. How much did it collect on Day 2? Vyjayanthi Movies officially announced the second-day collections of "Kalki 2898 AD." After bagging Rs. 191.5 crores on the first day, the film managed to gather Rs. 298.5 crores (GROSS) worldwide over two days, as stated by the makers who also posted a special poster on social media to mark the occasion. According to the producers, "Kalki" continued its strong performance by adding another Rs. 107 crores (GROSS) on the second day. However, compared to the first day's collections, there was a significant drop of 80% in the revenues. This downturn has led to disappointment among Prabhas’s fans as the film failed to reach the anticipated Rs. 350 crores mark within the first two days, barely crossing Rs. 300 crores instead. First Day All-Time Record The film "Kalki" has created a sensation in North America, winning over audiences with the performances of Prabhas and other leading actors. In this region, "Kalki" set an all-time record by earning $3.8 million from the premieres on its opening day, marking the highest first-day collection ever achieved by an Indian film in North America. This milestone placed "Kalki" at the top, followed by "RRR" (which made $3.46 million), "Salaar" ($2.6 million), and "Baahubali 2" ($2.45 million) in the subsequent positions. RRR's Record Remains Safe! According to trade experts, "Kalki 2898 AD" could not surpass the record set by "RRR," which remains the top-grossing Indian film on day one with Rs. 223 crores (GROSS). "Kalki" ended its first day with Rs. 180 crores, failing to break the record held by "Baahubali 2," which is in second place with Rs. 217 crores. However, "Kalki" did surpass other major films like "KGF 2" (Rs. 164.5 crores), "Salaar" (Rs. 158 crores), "Adipurush" (Rs. 136.8 crores), and "Saaho" (Rs. 125.6 crores), securing its place in the top three. Impact of Match on Collections! The promotional efforts for "Kalki 2898 AD" fell short compared to films like "Baahubali 2" and "RRR." Greater promotional activities could have potentially led to new box office records. Additionally, the T-20 World Cup match between India and England on Thursday evening (June 27) diverted the audience’s attention, negatively impacting the film's collections on its opening day. The fact that it was a working day also affected the revenue. With the World Cup final scheduled for today (June 29), there's a possibility of further impacts on the movie's third-day collections.

      Jr.NTR and Prashanth Neel Break the Sequel Trend with 'NTR 31' – A Single-Part Spectacle!
      Jr.NTR and Prashanth Neel Break the Sequel Trend with 'NTR 31' – A Single-Part Spectacle!
      In the current film industry, the Pan-India trend is prevailing. Recognized as star heroes, many are releasing their films at a national level, thereby significantly boosting their movie collections. At the same time, the trend of making sequels has been catching on, a practice that began with 'Baahubali' and has now reached its peak with films like 'Pushpa', 'Salaar', 'Hanuman', 'Kalki 2898 AD', and 'Devara' being planned as two-part movies. Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is also expected to be released in two parts. However, it seems the duo of Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel is set to challenge this sequel trend. Let's delve into the details. As a Single Part... After the blockbuster 'Devara: Part 1', the combination of Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel is known to be coming up with a film currently under the working title 'NTR 31'. Given Prashanth Neel’s penchant for sequels, as seen with his films 'KGF' and the expected sequels for 'Salaar', it was anticipated that this new project would also be a multi-part saga. However, in a surprising move, 'NTR 31' is decided to be made as a single-part film. Prashanth Neel has decided to wrap up the story in just one part, and it's also planned to be concise in terms of runtime. Are Sequels Necessary? Director S.S. Rajamouli laid the foundation for sequels with 'Baahubali'. Since then, the Telugu film industry has seen a continuous stream of sequels. While it’s justified to plan sequels when the story is too extensive to fit into a single part, and while audiences have welcomed this trend, planning sequels just to capitalize on box office collections without a compelling story can backfire, as has been speculated to happen with 'Devara'. Netizens have argued from day one that 'Devara' did not have enough substance to warrant a two-part film. The movie did well mainly because of Jr NTR’s one-man show and Anirudh's music, but many in the audience felt that their money wasn't well spent. Noticing this, the team behind 'NTR 31' has decided against taking the risk of a sequel. A Check on Expectations Usually, sequels are made for films that have been huge successes. By introducing a surprising link to the second part at the end of the first, directors raise high expectations for the sequel. This has been observed since 'Baahubali'. However, complete satisfaction among audiences usually comes only after the full story is known, which nowadays seems to be stretched over two parts, making them wait months to see the conclusion. This prolonged anticipation can sometimes lead to significant viewer fatigue. Comments on the internet suggest that interest in waiting for second parts is waning among audiences. In light of this, Tarak and Prashanth Neel are being cautious with 'NTR 31'. Shooting Starts in November! Pre-production for 'NTR 31' is currently underway, with the storyline nearly finalized. Rukmini Vasanth has been reportedly chosen to star opposite Tarak, as per strong buzz online. Moreover, regular shooting for the film is set to commence in November. Tarak is expected to join the shooting in January or February. Prashanth Neel aims to launch the movie by January 9, 2026, and plans to complete the film swiftly. Against a Bangladeshi Backdrop... The upcoming 'NTR 31', directed by Prashanth Neel and produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, is creating a stir in Tollywood as a periodic action drama. It's rumored that the film, set in Bangladesh, revolves around a young man who lives as a farmer and becomes involved in unexpected events, fighting for the locals. Tarak's character, as directed by Prashanth Neel, will be showcased in two different variations, promising a next-level performance compared to his previous roles. After 'War 2' Hits the Sets Tarak is known to be part of 'War 2', a Bollywood film directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Hrithik Roshan, where he plays a character with negative shades. He has already participated in the shooting of this film. After completing his commitments for 'War 2', Tarak plans to fully focus on 'NTR 31'. If 'War 2' wraps up as scheduled, it will release on August 15 next year, after which Tarak will adjust his dates for Prashanth Neel.

      SS Rajamouli's Next Epic with Mahesh Babu: A Grand Adventure Awaits with 'SSMB29'
      SS Rajamouli's Next Epic with Mahesh Babu: A Grand Adventure Awaits with 'SSMB29'
      After achieving a massive blockbuster with 'RRR', director SS Rajamouli has captured everyone's attention by announcing his next film with superstar Mahesh Babu. The entire film industry is eagerly awaiting the start of this exciting combination. Currently, Rajamouli is busy with the pre-production work of the film. However, it is learned that he will be working differently for 'SSMB29' compared to his previous films. Let’s find out what decision Rajamouli has taken this time. Rajamouli’s Master Plan! For the upcoming 'SSMB29' starring Mahesh Babu, director Rajamouli has decided to proceed with a new strategy. Generally, Rajamouli’s movies have extensive scope for VFX, which means equal importance must be given to shooting and graphics work. To address this, the director has devised a master plan. He plans to shoot the VFX-related scenes in advance. Accordingly, pre-production work is underway to ensure these scenes are ready to be handed over to the VFX teams early. This strategy allows for simultaneous completion of VFX work and shooting, potentially speeding up the entire filmmaking process and thrilling the fans. Addressing the Criticisms SS Rajamouli, one of the most esteemed directors in the country, has faced recent criticism for the lengthy durations it takes to release his films, often three to four years. To counter this, it's known that Rajamouli has made strategic decisions regarding VFX work. With such planning, it is expected that the film could be released within one or two years. It is anticipated that 'SSMB 29', even if it starts filming next year, could be released by the end of 2026. Following the Paths of 'RRR' and 'Baahubali' Like his period dramas 'Baahubali' and 'RRR', Rajamouli is reportedly preparing a similar epic narrative for Mahesh Babu. There is strong buzz that this movie will be set in the 18th century and is an ambitious attempt to recreate a story from 225 years ago. Rajamouli plans to authentically portray the tribal looks of hundreds of years ago for the cast. Producer KL Narayana is expected to fund this grand venture with a budget of Rs. 1000 crores, and Hollywood technicians are being hired to meet the production's high standards. Inspiration for the Story The Mahesh Babu-Rajamouli film is rumored to be an adventure thriller set against an African backdrop. In a recent interview, Rajamouli's father and renowned writer Vijayendra Prasad mentioned that they both are huge fans of South African novelist Wilbur Smith, which inspired him to base the screenplay on Smith's books. However, he assures that the screenplay will bear Rajamouli's signature style. MM Keeravani is set to compose the music for the film.
