      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.

Raayan's first half, second half, Dhanush's entry, the interval, and the climax bang were fantastic, according to one netizen who gave the movie a rating of 4.6/5. https://twitter.com/review0813/status/1816622242421522704 Another netizen posted that the movie was raw and rustic, praising Dhanush's makeover and screen presence. 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.

      'Devara’ Breaks the 23-Year Rajamouli Sentiment: NTR’s Film Triumphs After RRR
      'Devara’ Breaks the 23-Year Rajamouli Sentiment: NTR’s Film Triumphs After RRR
      The latest film featuring the Man of the Masses, Tarak, titled 'Devara' has been released grandly today (September 27). Despite some mixed opinions, the film overall is being touted as a hit. The music by Anirudh is reportedly next level. Having shattered several records even before its release, the film is expected to achieve even more milestones, with fans confident about its success. Interestingly, it's said that Tarak has broken a flop record of Rajamouli that has been ongoing for 23 years, declared by none other than Rajamouli's son. Rajamouli’s Flop Sentiment! It’s a well-known fact that a film with director Rajamouli is a blockbuster. However, post a Rajamouli film, no hero until now has managed an immediate hit. Every hero has faced a box office disaster following their film with Rajamouli, a sentiment that started 23 years ago with Rajamouli’s first film 'Student No.1'. Following 'Student No.1' and 'Simhadri', Tarak faced major failures. Similarly, post 'Vikramarkudu' Ravi Teja, post 'Maryada Ramanna' Sunil, and post 'Eega' Nani all faced flops. After 'Baahubali 2', Prabhas, Rana, and Anushka also failed in their subsequent films. Naturally, there were apprehensions about 'Devara' following 'RRR' with Tarak. Breaking the 23-Year Record The flop sentiment with Rajamouli started with Tarak on September 27, 2001, with the release of 'Student No.1'. 23 years later, on the same day, 'Devara' was released and has garnered hit talk, thus ending the flop cycle that started on the same day with the same person 23 years ago. This has sparked a flurry of comments on social media that Tarak has shattered the bad sentiment linked with Rajamouli. Now, fans believe that no hero needs to worry about the Rajamouli flop sentiment anymore. Karthikeya’s Special Post Karthikeya, Rajamouli's son, also tweeted about this, "Finally, the 23-year myth has been broken. It ended on the same day it began with the same person. I grew up watching him closely, seeing his growth and success. Now I see the wonders he's performing. I am speechless at the contribution he’s making to Telugu cinema. This is a big gift he has given to the fans. Devara is the biggest mass celebration in cinema. Now, even the madness speaks. All hail the tiger," along with a photo taken with NTR. https://twitter.com/ssk1122/status/1839476779175567669 Rajamouli Watching Devara with Fans The buzz around 'Devara' is evident across theaters in the Telugu states. After nearly six years, NTR's solo movie has his fans ecstatic. Amid this festive atmosphere, Rajamouli watched the film. Accompanied by his family, he greeted movie enthusiasts at the Maithri Vimal theater in Balanagar and watched the film with them. Videos related to this are going viral online. Producer Dil Raju and director Anil Ravipudi watched the movie at Sriramulu theater. Meanwhile, in a theater in Chennai, music director Anirudh watched the movie with fans and charged up the atmosphere by singing the Fear song. https://twitter.com/ArtistryBuzz/status/1839517947548794958 https://twitter.com/AnirudhTrend/status/1839516079560802450

      'Devara' Fever: Jr NTR’s Grand Release Poised for Record-Breaking ₹125 Crore Opening Day
      Just a few hours remain until the premiere of 'Devara' (Devara: Part 1). Directed by Koratala Siva and starring Jr NTR, the film is set for a grand worldwide release tomorrow (September 27). Janhvi Kapoor, daughter of Sridevi and Bollywood beauty, stars opposite Tarak, while noted Hindi actor Saif Ali Khan plays the antagonist, generating nationwide buzz. With over 500 premieres in the Telugu states, the advance booking trends worldwide suggest that 'Devara' will easily garner over ₹120 crores on its first day. Let's explore how this is possible. ₹125 Crores Confirmed for Day One! Tarak's 'Devara' has already broken several records before its release, creating massive hype. Tickets worldwide are selling like hotcakes. The governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have even allowed an increase in ticket prices. Record-breaking presales are happening overseas. Given this backdrop, it is evident that 'Devara' will easily gross over ₹125 crores on its first day, and industry insiders estimate that an additional ₹10-15 crores wouldn't be surprising. According to pre-bookings, the film is expected to earn ₹65 crores in the two Telugu states alone, with ₹8-10 crores coming from Hindi-speaking regions. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and the rest of India could collectively contribute another ₹10-15 crores. Overseas, 'Devara' is set to make a significant impact, with trade circles predicting an easy ₹30-35 crores on the first day alone. Overall, the film is firmly expected to cross ₹125 crores on its opening day. What's the Break-Even Target? The pre-release business for 'Devara,' directed by Koratala Siva and starring NTR, has been phenomenal. Theatrical rights alone have been sold for ₹185 crores, according to trade sources. In the two Telugu states, the rights went for ₹115 crores, with the Nizam area alone fetching ₹45 crores. Ceded region reported ₹22 crores in business, while Karnataka saw ₹15 crores, Tamil Nadu ₹6 crores, and Kerala ₹0.5 crores. In the US, the film sold for ₹26 crores and ₹15 crores in the Hindi belt. In total, all areas combined for a pre-release business of ₹185 crores. If the film collects a share of ₹200 crores, it will break even. Anirudh's First Review of 'Devara' Young music sensation Anirudh Ravichander provided the soundtrack for 'Devara.' In a recent interview, he commented on the film's hype: "I was amazed during the scoring of the background music. I kept wondering how they managed to make such a great film. It's a wonderful action drama. Such films allow for creative experiments in music. We aimed to provide a fresh experience for the audience, completing 95% of the recording work overseas. Watching 'Devara' will give you a feeling similar to watching Hollywood films like Avengers and Batman. It has emotion, drama, action, and intensity. Audiences coming to the theaters are in for a phenomenal experience. I'm looking forward to seeing this movie on the first day, first show," said Anirudh. A Telugu Actress as Saif's Wife It's known that Saif Ali Khan plays the villain in 'Devara.' Telugu senior actress Chaitra Rai stars as his wife, causing her name to surge in popularity. "Getting the opportunity to act alongside stars like NTR and Saif Ali Khan is my good fortune," said Chaitra. She was thrilled to meet Tarak and Saif on set. Chaitra first became known through the 'Ashta Chamma' serial and is currently acting in the 'Radhaku Neevera Pranam' serial. She hopes that a good recognition from 'Devara' could keep her busy in movies too. A Rare Feat in Two Countries 'Devara' is currently trending on social media and has achieved a new milestone by setting a record in Australia and New Zealand. It will be the first Indian film to be shown in a significant number of Dolby Atmos shows in these two countries, with 13 screens in Australia and 3 in New Zealand. Additionally, 'Devara' recently set a record in North America's ticket presales, becoming the fastest Indian film to reach the $1 million mark in presales.

      Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ to Clash with Vijay Deverakonda's Film in a Grand Summer Release!
      Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ to Clash with Vijay Deverakonda's Film in a Grand Summer Release!
      Whenever a movie from Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is released, it creates a festive atmosphere among fans. Theaters burst into cheers and chaos. However, the frenzy among Pawan’s fans at theaters has decreased lately since no films from him have been released following 'Bro'. With three big projects pending due to his political commitments, fans are eagerly waiting for his return. Amidst this, an exciting update about his upcoming film 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' has been released. A thrilling poster with the release date was shared by the makers. Interestingly, a Vijay Deverakonda film is also set to release on the same day. Grand Release in Summer Pawan Kalyan stars in the period action adventure film 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', directed by Krish and Jyothi Krishna. The film will be released in two parts, with the first part nearing completion. Recently, the release date for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' was announced by the team for a global release on March 28 next year. The special poster released shows Pawan wielding a sword, looking every bit the warrior, much to the delight of his fans who are predicting the film to be a superhit. First Pan-India Film! Despite being a star hero, Pawan Kalyan has not had a pan-India film until now. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is set to be his first, releasing next year in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. Expectations are already sky-high, and the glimpses and teasers released have only heightened these. Any small update about this prestigious film instantly trends, showing the massive anticipation. The film, produced under the Mega Surya Production banner by A.M. Ratnam began its initial shooting phase with Krish Jagarlamudi, and currently, Jyothi Krishna is directing it. Activity in Other Projects Too! Alongside 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', Pawan has two more exciting projects in hand. He is working with the talented director Sudeep on 'OG', and with Harish Shankar on 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. Due to his political engagements, shooting for these films was also delayed. With the shoot for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' resuming today in Vijayawada, signals are that the other two projects will soon kick off too. Pawan is keen to finish these projects quickly before fully focusing on politics in Andhra Pradesh. Pawan vs Vijay Deverakonda! With the announcement of the release date for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', a box office clash between Pawan and Vijay Deverakonda seems imminent. Vijay's 'VD 12' is also set to release on March 28 next year. Vijay's fans are excited about the face-off, asserting that their hero is ready to take on the big star. However, producers close to Pawan, who are also behind 'VD 12', might consider a new date to avoid direct competition. On another front, Bollywood star Salman Khan's upcoming movie 'Sikandar' is poised to compete with Pawan's release, slated for an Eid 2025 release, which might impact the northern box office given the pan-India release of 'Veera Mallu'.

      How to Track Product Prices During Sales: Tools and Tips to Avoid Falling into the Discount Trap
      As the festive season approaches, major e-commerce platforms have announced their sale dates. With the sales starting in just a few days, many people have already added their desired products to their carts, eagerly waiting for the deals to kick in and make their purchases. Products tend to be available at lower prices during sale periods. However, it is also common for some sellers to increase the product prices right before the sale and then show them as discounted during the sale, making customers believe they have purchased at a lower price. Therefore, it is important to know whether the product price during the sale is genuinely discounted. Let's look at how to check the price history of a product. Apps that help with checking price history When browsing any product on e-commerce platforms, you can also check its price history. You can download a price history online shopping app (Buyhatke) on your mobile and view it. On the e-commerce site, you can click the share option and select the installed app. This action will pop up information without needing to open the app itself. The pop-up will display the product’s highest and lowest prices, along with a chart showing the entire price history, including information about when the prices dropped. It also indicates the likelihood of the product's price dropping in the coming days. Other websites/extensions Apart from apps, you can also check a product's price history through other websites. For example, you can easily search any product on pricehistoryapp.com. By pasting the link of the product you want to buy into the search bar of the website, you can see the changes in its price. Extensions like Keepa are also very helpful. You can install the Keepa extension in your browser to check the price history of products on Amazon. When you open a product on Amazon and scroll down, the price chart will be displayed. For Flipkart, the PRICE HISTORY extension is available, which also easily lets you track product prices on Flipkart. These extensions and apps help you monitor product price histories, assisting you in buying at the right time and the right price. If you find this information useful, consider sharing it with your friends to help them shop smarter.

      Jani Master: Choreographer Now Embroiled in Controversy - Top 10 Songs
      Renowned choreographer Jani Master has been embroiled in a sexual harassment case that has caused a sensation across the Telugu states. A female choreographer accused him of sexually harassing her over some time, making it a topic of intense discussion in Tollywood. In response to her complaint, police have already registered a case against Jani Master under IPC sections 376, 506, and 323(2). Amidst this backdrop, a team of Cyberabad SOT police intensified their search and eventually detained him in Goa. He was presented in court there and is being brought back to the city. [toc] What happened? Jani Master was accused by his assistant of sexual harassment. She complained to the police, saying, "I met Jani Master in 2017.

He threatened to fire me and said I would never work in the film industry again if I told anyone. He took advantage of the opportunity to take us from Hyderabad to other cities for film shootings and raped me multiple times. Even during the shootings, he behaved indecently inside the vanity van," the victim stated in her complaint. Following her complaint, police arrested him on Thursday (September 19). The Cyberabad SOT team apprehended him at a lodge in Goa. If you've done something wrong, admit it: Manchu Manoj Since she was a minor, the girl in her complaint alleged that Jani Master had harassed her, prompting police to register a case under the POCSO Act.

He opined that fleeing when a woman makes accusations sends a dangerous message to society and future generations. He advised Jani Master to face the truth and fight if he hadn’t done anything wrong. "If you have made a mistake, admit it," Manchu Manoj clarified. "Everyone knows how hard Jani Master worked to reach a high position in his career.

      SS Rajamouli's Unmade Film with Suriya and Karthi: A Missed Opportunity Before 'RRR'?
      SS Rajamouli's Unmade Film with Suriya and Karthi: A Missed Opportunity Before 'RRR'?
      Director SS Rajamouli, who elevated Indian cinema to a global level and became the country's top director with 'Baahubali,' gained worldwide popularity with the film 'RRR.' The song "Naatu Naatu" from this film even won an Oscar, garnering accolades from all corners of the country. Currently, Rajamouli is busy launching a global-scale film 'SSMB29' with Mahesh Babu. Amidst this, an intriguing piece of news about Rajamouli has surfaced. It is known that he initially considered making a film with Kollywood stars Suriya and his brother Karthi, and it was rumored to be 'RRR.' Let's look into the details of this. 'They Narrated the Story... It Didn’t Work Out' Tamil star Karthi recently made interesting remarks in an interview. During the promotions for his next movie 'Satyam Sundaram,' Karthi, in an interview with director Gautham Menon, shared an intriguing past discussion. When Menon asked about acting alongside Suriya, Karthi revealed, "Suriya and I will act together if we get the right script. In the past, Director Rajamouli sir narrated a story to us. It was good but that movie didn’t work out." This revelation has surprised movie lovers, prompting questions about how they could pass up a Rajamouli story. There is speculation that had that movie been made, Suriya and Karthi’s stardom might have seen a different trajectory. https://twitter.com/adarshtp_offl/status/1835533193111392319 The Story of 'RRR'? Netizens speculate that the movie Rajamouli planned with Suriya and Karthi might have been 'RRR.' They assume that initially, Rajamouli envisioned Suriya and Karthi in the roles later played by Ram Charan and Tarak. For various reasons, that version never progressed to filming. Telugu audiences believe that if Karthi and Suriya had starred in 'RRR,' it might not have achieved the same level of success. They note that while the action and drama of 'RRR' are highlights, the dance sequences also stood out, an area where Suriya and Karthi might have lagged behind Charan and Tarak. Karthi as a Contender to Tarak! Karthi's latest film 'Satyam Sundari' is ready for release, where he stars alongside prominent actor Aravind Swamy. The film, directed by Prem Kumar C., who delivered the blockbuster '96,' is set to release worldwide on September 28. A teaser of the film was recently released and has captured attention. Karthi has also announced his next project, which will be produced under the banner of Dream Warrior Pictures as 'Karthi 29.' Details about the rest of the cast and technical team are expected to be released soon. 'SSMB 29' Shooting in December! Ever since Rajamouli announced a film with Mahesh Babu, everyone has been eagerly waiting to see when the film will go on floors. In this context, there is news that an official update related to SSMB29 will be given on Rajamouli's birthday. Regular shooting for the film is set to begin in December, with the first schedule starting in Germany. The film, set against an 18th-century backdrop featuring rare tribal communities, is creating strong buzz. An official announcement regarding this is expected soon.

Indeed, it's the producers who shoulder the bulk of a movie's production efforts, ensuring no expense is spared to deliver a quality film.

Now, amidst this high-risk scenario, daughters of stars are stepping into production roles, determined to prove their mettle alongside their brothers, who are entering the scene as actors.

      Nani Shines in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Amidst Mixed Reactions.
      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
