Nandamuri Balakrishna, a name synonymous with mass entertainers in Tollywood, has been delivering a string of hits with his recent mass entertainers. Currently, he is working on a film with director Bobby, known as NBK 109. The film team recently announced the title as 'Daku Maharaj' and released a gripping teaser that gave goosebumps to Nandamuri fans. However, the title and teaser alone subtly reveal the plot of the film. Let's take a closer look.



What’s in the Teaser?



Produced under the banner of Sithara Entertainments by Naga Vamshi, the upcoming film 'Daku Maharaj' featuring actor Balakrishna and directed by Bobby is set to be a Sankranthi release on January 12, 2025. The released teaser starts with the dialogue, "This story isn’t about gods who spread light, nor about demons who dominate darkness, not even about Ravana who played with demons. This story is about a king who waged wars without a kingdom, a Yama wielding a mighty axe, a Maharaja who terrified even death itself." The visuals and dialogues delivered by Balakrishna in the teaser promise an intense action-packed narrative. Fans are excited, anticipating another mass spectacle from Balakrishna.

Inspired by Daku Mansingh...



The role of 'Daku Maharaj' played by Balakrishna is reportedly based on the real life of a person. Moviegoers are curious about who this 'Daku Maharaj' could be. His real name is known to be Daku Mansingh, a famous dacoit from the Punjab and Chambal regions. Amitabh Bachchan once mentioned in an interview that he was quite fearful of Mansingh’s robberies and his ability to escape during his childhood. It’s notable that Mansingh didn’t use the stolen wealth for himself but distributed it among the poor, according to the locals from Chambal.

Is This the Story?



The recent teaser suggests that director Bobby has crafted Balakrishna’s film inspired by the famous dacoit Daku Mansingh. This implies that in the film, Balakrishna's character will likely stand with the people, targeting those who exploit and rob them. He seems poised to cleverly redistribute the wealth taken from the oppressors back to the people. The story is also said to reflect three different eras, raising the question of whether Daku Maharaj will be a central figure throughout the film or just part of one segment.

Balakrishna in Three Roles...



After the superhit 'Bhagavanth Kesari', Balakrishna is back in 'Daku Maharaj', featuring alongside Pragya Jaiswal, Chandini Chowdary, and Shraddha Srinath. Bollywood actor Bobby Deol will appear in a key role, and a leading actor from the Malayalam film industry is also expected to join the cast. The story will reportedly show Balakrishna in three different aspects, promising another level of action sequences. S.S. Thaman is composing the music for this film.

Balakrishna's 'Daku Maharaj' Teaser Sparks Curiosity – Is This the Story Behind His Three Intense Roles?


The upcoming film "Pushpa 2," starring Allu Arjun, is buzzing nationwide. Directed by Sukumar, the film is almost ready to hit theaters, with a grand release scheduled for December 5th. The shooting is nearly complete, except for two songs and one scene, raising concerns among fans about whether the film will release on the announced date. Amid these developments, an unexpected twist in the film's production has emerged: Thaman has been brought in to replace Devi Sri Prasad as the music director, which has been a hot topic of discussion.



Thaman Joins Pushpa 2 Team



It is well-known that star music director Devi Sri Prasad was scoring the music for "Pushpa 2" after his tracks for the first part created a nationwide sensation. Recently released songs from the film have already captured the youth's attention. However, rumors are now circulating online that Devi Sri Prasad has been set aside and Thaman has taken over the responsibility for the film's background music.







Dissatisfaction from Sukumar



Sukumar and Devi Sri Prasad have had a strong rapport, with Devi providing music for all of Sukumar’s past films, which featured hit albums. Sukumar had entrusted Devi Sri Prasad with the music responsibilities for "Pushpa 2" as well, and while he was satisfied with the songs, he was reportedly not happy with the background music. With just 29 days left until the film's release, and Devi Sri having his hands full, Sukumar decided to bring in Thaman to handle the BGM. Discussions with Thaman have reportedly taken place, and he has already presented some background scores to Sukumar. An official announcement regarding this change is expected soon.







Why Thaman?



Music director S.S. Thaman is renowned not only for his compelling songs but also for his exceptional background scores. Recently, his BGMs have been making waves, with notable contributions to films like "Akhanda," "Veera Simha Reddy," "Vakeel Saab," "Bhagavanth Kesari," "Guntur Kaaram," "Bro," and "Skanda." Thaman, already having worked with Allu Arjun in blockbuster films such as "Sarrainodu" and "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo," knows exactly what kind of musical elevations suit Allu Arjun’s films to make theaters erupt. Hence, there is a strong belief among fans that if Thaman provides the background music for "Pushpa 2," it will be phenomenal.







Another Music Director in Consideration?



Alongside Thaman, another music director, Ajaneesh Loknath, known for his work on films like "Kantara" and "Mangalavaaram," is also being considered for "Pushpa 2." Rumors suggest that Thaman might handle the first part and Ajaneesh the second, indicating that up to three directors might work on the film. However, industry insiders strongly believe that Thaman will be the sole provider of the background music, although clarity will only emerge with an official announcement.







A Rare Feat for Pushpa 2



"Pushpa 2" marks a significant achievement as Allu Arjun, previously known primarily to the Telugu audience, garnered a global fan base following the success of "Pushpa" (2021). With the film achieving pan-India and overseas success, "Pushpa 2" has generated substantial hype among international audiences. Pre-sale bookings have recently opened overseas, and the first 15,000 tickets sold out in record time—a first for an Indian film in America. The "Pushpa" team has released a special poster to announce this milestone.

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



Director: J. Sivasai Vardhan



Music: Shekhar Chandra



Cinematography: Nagesh Banell



Producer: N.V. Kiran Kumar



Presented by: Maruthi



Release Date: 13-09-2024



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







Plot



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







Performance



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







Direction



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







Technically



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







Plus Points



- Raj Tarun's acting



- Story background



- First half



Minus Points



- Lack of commercial elements



- Second half
