      Raayan' Movie Review : Dhanush's Riveting Tale of Brotherhood and Betrayal
      Raayan' Movie Review : Dhanush's Riveting Tale of Brotherhood and Betrayal
      Cast: Dhanush, Sundeep Kishan, S.J. Surya, Jayaram, Selvaraghavan, Prakash Raj, Dushara Vijayan, Aparna Balamurali, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, among others Story & Direction: Dhanush Cinematography: Om Prakash Music: A.R. Rahman Editing: Prasanna G.K Production Company: Sun Pictures Release Date: July 26, 2024 The latest film starring Tamil cinema's leading actor Dhanush, 'Raayan', which he also directed, features Tollywood star Sundeep Kishan in a significant role. Other prominent actors such as Prakash Raj, S.J. Surya, Jayaram, and Varalaxmi have also played key roles. The film's trailers, teasers, and promotional posters, already released, have generated high expectations. Produced by Asian Suresh Entertainment, the film was released to audiences on July 26. Did 'Raayan' meet these expectations? Did it secure another hit for Dhanush? The latest film starring Tamil What’s the Story? Raayan (Dhanush) lives with his two brothers Muthuvel (Sundeep Kishan) and Manickam (Kalidas Jayaram), and sister Durga (Dushara Vijayan). While the younger brother goes to college and studies, Muthuvel often finds himself involved in troubles, drifting without purpose. In the same town, Dorai (Sharvanan) and Seetaram (S.J. Surya) are rowdies heading different gangs. A police officer (Prakash Raj) arrives in town with a vendetta to eliminate the local rowdies. In an unexpected turn of events, Dorai dies, making Raayan a target for Seetaram. Who killed Dorai? Why did Seetaram target Raayan? What did the police officer do? What happened to Raayan’s brothers? That’s the story. Performance Global star Dhanush, as always, delivered an outstanding performance in the movie. He completely immersed himself in the character of Raayan, shining especially in action sequences and emotional scenes. Sundeep Kishan received a noteworthy role in this film, making a memorable impact. S.J. Surya and Prakash Raj fully justified their characters with their exceptional acting skills. Selvaraghavan, Dushara Vijayan, Aparna Balamurali, and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar also captivated with their performances. Other actors too played their parts well within their limits. Direction This film marks Dhanush’s 50th as a director. While the story might seem like a typical revenge drama, Dhanush’s unique direction and screenplay were captivating. He effectively managed the story across three dimensions, impressing with the fight scenes and emotional moments, thereby engaging the audience thoroughly. The spectacular interval bang heightened interest for the second half, where action sequences, emotions, and the climax significantly added to the film’s appeal. However, the routine story, predictable plot elements, and some boring scenes occasionally detracted from the overall experience. Technically On the technical front, the music provided by A.R. Rahman was a major asset to the film, elevating the action sequences brilliantly. However, the songs were not particularly memorable. The cinematography was good, and the editing was adequate. Trimming some boring scenes could have added more weight to the film. The production values were very high, with no compromise on spending. Plus Points - Dhanush and Sundeep Kishan’s acting - Action sequences - Background music Minus Points - Routine story - Some boring scenes Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5 Public Talk on 'Raayan' Some netizens have expressed their opinions on the 'Raayan' movie through platform X.

He lauded Dhanush for reminding him of National Award-winning director Vetrimaaran with his style of work. S.J. Surya’s acting and A.R. Rahman’s background music was the backbone of the film, he noted. https://twitter.com/LetsXOtt/status/1816651224956981478 Yet another netizen mentioned that although 'Raayan' is a typical revenge drama, Dhanush’s direction brought freshness to the film, calling A.R. Rahman is the second hero of the movie due to his musical contribution. https://twitter.com/CinemaWithAB/status/1816657822026764609 A person commented that the film was fantastic, referring to Dhanush as the 'All-Rounder of Indian Cinema'. He noted that Sundeep Kishan played a major role, and the movie had no lags or boring scenes. https://twitter.com/PikuOffl/status/1816649186571698503 TFIDB Plot Raayan (Dhanush) lives with his two brothers and a sister.

      Weekend Collections: Heading Toward Disaster for ‘Mr. Bachchan’ and ‘Double Ismart’... NTR's Brother-in-Law Dominates 4-Day Collections!
      Weekend Collections: Heading Toward Disaster for ‘Mr. Bachchan’ and ‘Double Ismart’... NTR's Brother-in-Law Dominates 4-Day Collections!
      To coincide with Independence Day, several big films hit the screens on August 15. The movies 'Double Ismart' featuring Ram and directed by Puri Jagannadh, and 'Mr. Bachchan' starring Ravi Teja and directed by Harish Shankar were among the releases. Additionally, the Tamil star Vikram's 'Thangalaan' and NTR's brother-in-law's film 'Aay' also premiered on the same day. Prior to their release, the films of Ravi Teja and Ram generated massive hype. However, post-release, they failed to meet expectations and disappointed in terms of collections. On the other hand, 'Thangalaan' and 'Aay' received positive reviews and are doing well at the box office. Let's take a look at the 4-day collections of these four films and see which one is leading the pack. Disastrous Collections for Mr. Bachchan! Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja, paired with actress Bhaghyashri Borse, starred in the latest film ‘Mr. Bachchan,’ directed by Harish Shankar. This action entertainer, released on August 15, failed to impress the audience as expected, resulting in dismal first-day collections. It grossed only ₹5.3 crores worldwide. The second day brought in ₹1.75 crores, and the third day saw similar figures. By the fourth day, the movie's collections had dropped from crores to lakhs, grossing only ₹65 lakhs worldwide. As a result, ‘Mr. Bachchan’ managed to collect just ₹7.50 crores in its first four days. Double Ismart Collections Headed for Disaster! The second film from the energetic star Ram Pothineni and director Puri Jagannadh combo, 'Double Ismart,' is the sequel to their previous blockbuster 'Ismart Shankar.' The film, which features Kavya Thapar as the lead actress, opened to decent figures, grossing ₹12.45 crores worldwide on its first day. However, negative talk quickly spread, leading to a drop in collections. The second day saw the film gross just ₹2.25 crores worldwide. Over the next two days, it managed to bring in ₹1.5 crores and ₹1.9 crores respectively. In total, 'Double Ismart' collected ₹16 crores in its first four days. Thangalaan's 4-Day Collections South Indian star Vikram's 'Thangalaan,' directed by Pa. Ranjith, also released on August 15. The film, produced by K.E. Gnanavel Raja, received positive word-of-mouth on its first day, grossing ₹26.44 crores worldwide. Over the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, it continued to perform solidly, bringing its total four-day worldwide gross to ₹65 crores. The fact that it achieved this level of success without even releasing in the North has garnered widespread praise. 'Thangalaan' is set to release in the North on August 30. With positive talk in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, the film is expected to continue its strong box office performance this week. ‘Aay’ Moves Into Profits! NTR’s brother-in-law Narnne Nithiin starred in the latest film 'Aay,' which was released on August 15. Despite competing with big films, ‘Aay’ stood its ground and garnered positive talk. The film has been performing well at the box office. On its first day, it grossed ₹2 crores and maintained that momentum on the second day. Trade sources reported that the film earned ₹1.20 crores on the third day and increased to ₹1.46 crores on the fourth day. With total collections of ₹7.20 crores in its first four days, 'Aay' became the first Independence Day release to enter profit territory. From here on, all earnings are expected to be pure profit, according to trade experts.

      Nani Shines in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Amidst Mixed Reactions.
      Cast: Nani, Priyanka Arul Mohan, S.J. Suryah, Saikumar, Shubhalekha Sudhakar, Abhirami, Aditi Balan, Murali Sharma, Ajay, among others Director: Vivek Athreya Music: Jakes Bejoy Editor: Karthika Srinivas Producers: DVV Danayya, Kalyan Dasari Release Date: 29-08-2024 Natural Star Nani stars in the latest film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' directed by Vivek Athreya. Priyanka Arul Mohan plays the heroine, and prominent Tamil actor S.J. Suryah portrays the antagonist. Director Vivek Athreya, known for engaging audiences with class films like 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' has now ventured into the mass genre. Deviating from his usual style, he presents a powerful action drama in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram.' The recently released trailer has significantly heightened expectations. The film had a grand worldwide release on August 29. How did it fare? Did Nani's performance impress? Let's find out in this review. What's the Story? Surya (Nani) works as an LIC agent. He cannot tolerate injustice happening before his eyes and chooses Saturdays to showcase his rage. Meanwhile, the residents of Sokulapalem suffer from various hardships. Police officer Daya (S.J. Suryah) oppresses them, using his authority to perpetrate acts of brutality. Amidst dramatic developments, the hero decides to stand up for the people of Sokulapalem. How does Surya confront the cruel police officer? What challenges does he face in the process? Why does the hero specifically choose Saturday to unleash his fury? What's the love track with heroine Priyanka Mohan? Who wins in the face-off between hero and villain? That forms the story. How Did They Perform? Hero Nani excelled in the role of Surya. He showcased his versatility in the action sequences. Nani's acting in this film is distinct from his previous movies. He also made his mark in emotional scenes. S.J. Suryah as the antagonist was compelling, dominating some scenes over Nani. Both their performances are definitely the highlights of the film. Priyanka Arul Mohan played a settled role as a lady constable, impressing in a character-driven role. The unique love track between Nani and Priyanka will appeal to the audience. Saikumar, Ajay, Murali Sharma, and other actors justified their roles well. How's the Direction? Director Vivek Athreya, recognized for his classical approach in previous films, introduces his mass flair in this movie. Despite using a routine story, his unique making style has won applause. The director devoted much of the first half to introducing characters. Nani's childhood, the concept of Saturday, the introduction to the heroine, and an engaging interval block kept the first half interesting. The second half was filled with Tom and Jerry-like scenes and action sequences between Nani and S.J. Suryah. However, the lengthy duration negatively impacted the film. Some scenes felt too stretched, and the predictability of the storyline also turned out to be a drawback. Technically Speaking On the technical front, Jakes Bejoy's music was captivating, with appealing songs and a background score that added strength to the film, especially enhancing the action sequences. The cinematography also stood out. The editor could have been a bit sharper with the cuts. Production values were high. Plus Points - Nani and S.J. Suryah's performances - Action sequences - Introduction, interval, and climax episodes Minus Points - Lengthy duration - Lack of twists Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 3/5 Public Talk on 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Netizens who watched 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' are expressing their opinions on platform X. Many posts suggest the film is excellent, especially praising the performances of Nani and S.J. Suryah, which are the main attractions of the film. Based on some social media posts, let's analyze the public opinion. One netizen commented that 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' is a satisfying action drama, noting that the introduction block, interval block, and climax episodes were exceptionally well-executed. https://twitter.com/venkyreviews/status/1828908558198644841 Another netizen noted that while Vivek Athreya's screenplay wasn't spectacular, watching Nani and S.J. Suryah in theaters is a must. The interval bang was excellent, and despite a somewhat boring second half, the film thoroughly entertains the mass audience. https://twitter.com/_NaveenReddy_14/status/1828931798719414466 Netizens are praising the background music, noting that it took the action sequences to another level. One mentioned that the BGM ramped up the excitement significantly. https://twitter.com/Abhi_pkcult/status/1828908519141323179 A user gave a rating of 3/5, complimenting the character introductions and design, while noting that the lack of twists and predictability of scenes were drawbacks. https://twitter.com/chitrambhalareI/status/1828918494358110555 While social media is buzzing with positive reviews for 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' there are some negative reviews too. One user suggested that if the focus in the second half matched that of the first, the film could have reached a hundred crore milestone. https://twitter.com/Raktapatham/status/1828908737358438724 Some viewers felt the film's lengthy duration was a downside and suggested trimming about 30 minutes to make it more engaging, noting an excess of boring masala scenes. https://twitter.com/Devara15629882/status/1828909154398023884

With the long weekend, there’s potential for further increase in its collections. Mr. Bachchan’s Scenario! 'Mr. Bachchan,' the third collaboration between Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja and creative director Harish Shankar, carried high expectations until its release on Thursday, August 15, but received mixed reviews. Nevertheless, it managed to gross Rs. 5.3 crores worldwide on its first day, with Rs. 1.8 crores coming from the premiere shows held on August 14, as stated by trade sources. The film faced significant trolling right from the first show, which reportedly affected its collections. However, given the long weekend, recovery isn’t ruled out. Bhagyashri Borse starred alongside Ravi Teja, marking her debut in the Telugu film industry with this movie. Thangalaan Tops! 'Thangalaan,' starring Tamil star hero Vikram, topped the release day earnings among all the films, collecting a massive Rs. 26.44 crores (GROSS) worldwide, as officially declared by the producers. The film has been especially well-received even without a North Indian release yet, drawing universal acclaim. It is set to release in the North on the 30th of this month. 'Thangalaan,' performing well in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, is expected to achieve significant box office numbers by the end of this weekend, with Vikram's performance being widely praised. Aay's Good Collections! 'Aay,' the second film by NTR’s brother-in-law Narne Nithiin following the success of 'Mad,' captivated audiences again with its village backdrop love entertainer. The film brought in positive talk on its first day, with trade circles estimating that it grossed Rs. 2 crores. Made on a budget of Rs. 8 crores, the film’s appealing opening day collections have left the film unit in high spirits, anticipating profits by the end of the weekend.

      Aay Movie Review: Another small scale hit comedy
      Aay Movie Review: Another small scale hit comedy
      Cast: Narne Nithiin, Nayan Sarika, Kasireddy Raj Kumar, Ankith Koya, and others Director: Anji K Maniputra Music Directors: Ram Miriyala, Ajay Arasada Cinematography: Sameer Kalyani Producers: Bunny Vas, Vidya Koppineedi NTR's brother-in-law, Narne Nithiin, stars in his second film, 'Aay'. After achieving a solid hit with the film 'Mad', this young hero is set to impress the audience this week with 'Aay', directed by Anji K. Maniputra and featuring Nayan Sarika as the heroine. The movie was released on August 15th. How is the film? Did it impress the audience? Let’s find out in this review. What's the Story? Karthik (Narne Nithiin) from Amalapuram joins a software job in Hyderabad. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, he returns to his village. While working from home, he spends enjoyable times with his childhood friends, Hari and Subbu. During this period, he falls in love with Pallavi (Nayan Sarika) from a neighboring village. Pallavi, who is very active on social media and cares deeply about caste, initially likes Karthik believing he is from the same caste. When she discovers he is from a different caste, she distances herself and agrees to an arranged marriage. Karthik finds it hard to cope with this. Meanwhile, his friends Hari and Subbu try various ways to reunite them. Did their efforts succeed? Did Karthik and Pallavi get married? To find out, one must watch the movie. How Did They Perform? Narne Nithiin in the role of Karthik was captivating. This role, compared to his first film, offered more scope for acting, and his maturity is evident in his expressions and dialogue delivery. He was also impressed with his dance skills. Nayan Sarika, as Pallavi, charmed with her beauty and performance, perfectly portraying a girl from the Godavari region. The comedy delivered by Raj Kumar Kasireddy and Ankith Koya in their roles as friends highlighted the film, particularly Kasireddy’s performance, which is memorable. Mime Gopi and Vinod Kumar performed well within the limits of their roles. How's the Direction? Though director Anji chose a familiar story, the way he presented it is appealing. The backdrop of Amalapuram, the innocence and warmth in the people, and the bonds of childhood friends all these elements are well-blended into the narrative. The film picks up pace when the three friends reunite, and from the moment Karthik falls in love, the movie becomes more entertaining. The efforts and troubles his friends undergo to help with his love life bring laughs. The director managed to introduce a twist in the straightforward storyline to make the second half more interesting. He also delivered a good message by involving the elders of both families in the second half. The twist in the climax is surprising. However, the routine story, a love track dominated by comedy, and some illogical scenes are drawbacks of the movie. Technically Speaking Technically, the cinematography by Sameer Kalyani is a significant plus for the movie. His camera work showcasing the surroundings of Amalapuram and the rural setting is impressive. Regarding music, the songs breathe life into the film, with Ram Miriyala’s Sufi song being particularly enchanting. The production values are high, with the producers not compromising on the budget. Plus Points: - Performances - Comedy - Climax Minus Points: - Routine story - Predictable narrative Telugu.YouSay.tv Rating: 3/5

      From Screen to Stream: 'Kalki 2898 AD' Sets Sights on OTT Debut
      From Screen to Stream: 'Kalki 2898 AD' Sets Sights on OTT Debut
      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD', featuring Rebel Star Prabhas and director Nag Ashwin, has shaken the box office, garnering over ₹1100 crores globally. Since its release on June 27, this mythological science fiction movie has been breaking numerous records at the box office and continues to dominate theaters even after 50 days. Many are eagerly anticipating when 'Kalki' will be available on OTT. A recent update related to its streaming has come out, exciting the fans of Prabhas immensely. Is the OTT Date for Kalki Locked? It appears that Amazon Prime has secured the digital streaming rights for 'Kalki 2898 AD'. There is strong buzz that the film will be brought to streaming on August 23. However, it is rumored that the film will be slightly trimmed compared to the theatrical version, with about 6 minutes of footage potentially being cut. Official announcements regarding the OTT release and the runtime are expected soon. However, Prabhas' fans are expressing dissatisfaction with the decision to trim the runtime, questioning why scenes that were not in the theatrical version aren't being added instead. Prabhas Pushes Shah Rukh Back In 2024, 'Kalki 2898 AD' stood out as the biggest hit among all the releases so far, continuously setting new records and garnering immense popularity. It has reportedly collected over ₹760 crores across all languages nationwide, surpassing the all-time Indian collection record of Shah Rukh Khan's movie 'Jawan', which had collections amounting to ₹760 crores. Prior to 'Kalki', 'Jawan' held the fourth position in the list of highest-grossing Indian films. As per the latest collections, 'Kalki 2898 AD' now ranks as the fourth highest-grossing Indian film, following 'Baahubali 2', 'KGF 2', and 'RRR' in the top three spots. Looks Like No Kalki 2 Anytime Soon! With the blockbuster success of 'Kalki 2898 AD', anticipation is high for a sequel. Producer Ashwani Dutt previously hinted that 'Kalki 2' could be released around June or July next year, with 60% of the shooting already completed. However, recent buzz suggests that the remaining shooting might face delays due to Deepika Padukone, who is currently pregnant and due in September. Post-delivery, she plans to take at least a year's break from films, having already stepped back from a much-loved project by Rohit Shetty and a major Bollywood show. This indicates that Deepika might also be unavailable for 'Kalki 2's' shooting, potentially pushing its release to 2026 if this scenario unfolds. Prabhas in Full Swing! Currently, Prabhas has more pan-India films in his pipeline than any other star in the country. Any project with Prabhas isn't expected to start before 2026. Currently, he is working on 'Raja Saab' under the direction of Maruthi, which is progressing rapidly. He is also set to collaborate with Sandeep Reddy Vanga for a movie titled 'Spirit', and a sequel to 'Salaar' directed by Prashanth Neel is in the works post 'NTR 31'. Prabhas is also set to portray Lord Shiva in 'Kannappa' starring Manchu Vishnu, and has another project lined up with Hanu Raghavapudi. All these projects are likely to take at least two years to complete.

      Shivam Bhaje Movie Review
      Shivam Bhaje Movie Review
      Cast: Ashwin Babu, Digangana Suryavanshi, Hyper Aadi, Arbaaz Khan, Murali Sharma, Tanikella Bharani, Brahmaji Director: Abdul Apsar Hussain Music: Vikas Badisa Editor: Chota K. Prasad Producer: Maheshwara Reddy Release Date: August 01, 2024 The latest film starring Ashwin Babu, who is the brother of well-known anchor and director Ohmkar, is titled 'Shivam Bhaje.' Digangana Suryavanshi plays the lead female role. Directed by Abdul Apsar Hussain, the movie also features notable actors such as Hyper Aadi, Arbaaz Khan, Murali Sharma, Tanikella Bharani, and Brahmaji in significant roles. The promotional materials, trailer, and teaser have significantly raised expectations for this film, which was released on August 1. Let's explore how the film fared and whether it succeeded in captivating the audience. Plot Chandu (Ashwin Babu) works as a loan recovery agent. During his job, he falls in love with Shailaja (Digangana Suryavanshi), who works in a chemical lab. Due to an incident, Chandu loses his sight. Following a dramatic event blessed by Lord Shiva, an operation restores his vision. However, after regaining his sight, Chandu begins to see various visuals. Whose eyes did Chandu receive? What are these visuals he sees? Why does a mere recovery agent end up fighting with enemy nations? What deed did Chandu perform with the grace of Lord Shiva? What role does Dogra (a dog) play in the story? To find out, one must watch the movie. Performances Ashwin Babu delivers a remarkable performance in the role of Chandu, showcasing great versatility across two dimensions. Digangana Suryavanshi captivates the audience as Shailaja. The chemistry between Ashwin and Digangana is effectively established. Bollywood actor Arbaaz Khan impresses in his role as a police officer, and comedian Hyper Aadi elicits laughter with his impeccable timing. Seasoned actors Brahmanandam and Murali Sharma mesmerize with their performances, while other actors adequately fulfill their roles. Direction Director Abdul Apsar Hussain commendable intertwines mystery and devotional elements. Some suspense scenes in this crime drama are quite engaging. The storyline woven around international espionage also pleases, though the screenplay falters at times. The narrative could have been presented more effectively on screen. The subplot involving murders seems rather weak. Chandu's character could have been made more powerful. Some scenes lack logical coherence. The slow pace of the story and a lack of engaging elements in the first half are drawbacks. Unrelated scenes test the audience's patience. Technically On the technical front, Dasarathi Shivendra’s cinematography is impressive. He beautifully presents key scenes, especially in the second half. Vikas Badisa’s music is decent. Chota K. Prasad’s editing is also commendable. The production values are high. Plus Points - Ashwin Babu’s acting - Suspense scenes - Climax Minus Points - Slow narration - Lack of engaging elements - Irrelevant scenes Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 2.5/5

He falls in love with Sasi (Soniya Singh) from Hyderabad. After losing a significant amount of money in betting, Madan encounters difficulties. When he learns that Sasi's family will be away for ten days for a wedding, he decides to visit her. However, on the night he arrives, the wedding is canceled, and her family unexpectedly returns. How did Madan manage to evade Sasi's family? What challenges did he encounter? How did he interfere with Sasi's arranged marriage prospects? Did Sasi's family eventually accept their marriage? These questions form the crux of the series plot. Performances The acting of Soniya Singh and Pavan Sidhu is a major highlight of the series. Their real-life relationship adds an authentic touch to their on-screen chemistry. They both delivered charming performances. Pradeep, who plays Sasi's father, excels with his comedic timing, while Ashok Chandra adds an emotional touch in the grandfather role. Keshav Deepak, as Madan's brother, and Roopa Lakshmi, as the family matriarch, among others, effectively contribute to the series. Direction Director Winod Gali successfully crafted a charming love story series, diverging from the usual bold suspense thrillers. Although the plot is conventional, he managed to keep it captivating. The intrigue surrounding what happens next, especially after the hero becomes trapped in the heroine's house, holds the audience's attention. The comedic tension that emerges as Madan attempts to hide with Sasi's assistance adds entertainment value. However, some scenes feel repetitive and the series suffers from a lack of visual variety because it is set in a single location. The screenplay could have been improved. Technically Musically, Sinjit Yerramilli did well, especially with two songs that stand out. The background score is adequate. The cinematography is also good, providing fresh visuals suitable for a love story. The production values are high. Plus Points - Acting by Siddhu and Soniya  - Confusion comedy - Music Minus Points - Routine story - The secondary love track - Some boring scenes Telugu.yousay.tv Rating : 2.5/5

      Bhargavi Nilayam OTT Review: Tovino Thomas Shines in a Haunting Tale of Love and Revenge
      Bhargavi Nilayam OTT Review: Tovino Thomas Shines in a Haunting Tale of Love and Revenge
      Cast: Tovino Thomas, Chemban Vinod, Roshan Mathew, Reema Kallingal, Shine Tom Chacko, Abhiram Radhakrishnan Director: Aashiq Abu Cinematography: Girish Gangadharan Editing: V. Sajan Music: Bijibal, Rex Vijayan Producers: Aashiq Abu, Reema Kallingal OTT: Aha This week, a Malayalam horror film has made its way to OTT platforms, aiming to captivate digital audiences. 'Bhargavi Nilayam', originally released in 1964, has been remade as 'Neelavelicham' in 2023 with several alterations. The movie stars Tovino Thomas, Reema Kallingal, Roshan Mathew, and Shine Tom Chacko, directed by Aashiq Abu. Released in April last year, the film greatly attracted Malayalam viewers. Recently, this movie has been dubbed into Telugu as 'Bhargavi Nilayam' and brought to OTT on Aha. How does the film fare? Does it engage the Telugu OTT audience? Let’s find out in this review. The Story 'Bhargavi Nilayam' is set in a small village near the seaside, where the titular mansion has been abandoned for many years. The very mention of the mansion sends shivers down the spine of the villagers. It is said that Bhargavi (Reema Kallingal) haunts the house as a ghost, attempting to kill anyone who steps inside. In this context, a writer named Basheer (Tovino Thomas) arrives in the village. Unaware of the mansion's haunted history, he rents it. Financial constraints force him to stay, leading him to befriend the ghost. He decides to write a story about her. What caused Bhargavi’s death? How did her lover Shivakumar (Roshan Mathew) mysteriously disappear? How does Basheer uncover the mystery of this tragic love story? That forms the crux of the narrative. Performance Tovino Thomas excels in the role of the writer. His appearance and dialogue delivery are notably different from his previous films, bearing the weight of the movie on his shoulders. He leaves his mark in key scenes. The love pair, Reema Kallingal and Roshan Mathew, perform adequately. Shine Tom Chacko delivers a compelling performance as the villain, leaving a strong impact. Other actors perform well within their roles. Direction While Aashiq Abu has chosen a routine story for the movie, he succeeds in making the narrative engaging. The scenes depicting the tragic life of a couple, uncovered by a writer, are captivating. The segments where the hero enters the haunted house and the villagers scare him with dreadful tales are intriguing, maintaining suspense about what will happen next. The horror elements introduced occasionally do instill fear. The friendship between the hero and the ghost before the interval sets up an engaging second half. In the latter part, the director reveals the love story of Bhargavi and Shivakumar, and the villain behind their tragic fate. The climax shows Bhargavi’s revenge drama in an interesting manner. However, the routine storyline, boring love track, and standard horror scenes could be seen as negatives. Technically On the technical front, the cinematographer does an excellent job. His camera work effectively recreates the atmosphere of the 1960s. The background music also adds value to the film. The editing is adequate, and the production values are fitting for the film. Plus Points - Tovino Thomas’s performance - Engaging narrative - Strong technical department Minus Points - Routine horror concept - Lack of thrilling elements Telugu.yousay.tv Rating : 3/5
