Priyanka Arul Mohan is among the leading actresses from South India. Having faced many challenges at the start of her career, she is now continuing as a star heroine. She has earned a unique recognition for herself by acting alongside star heroes like Suriya, Dhanush, Nani, Sivakarthikeyan, and Jayam Ravi. Currently, she is catching everyone's eye by acting in 'OG' alongside Pawan. Today is Priyanka Mohan's birthday (HBD Priyanka Mohan), marking her entry into the 29th year. Let’s take this opportunity to learn some interesting aspects of her career.



Priyanka Mohan was born on November 20, 1995, in Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka, where she also completed her education, earning a degree in Biological Engineering.







Priyanka's mother is Kannadiga while her father is of Tamil descent, which made her proficient in both Kannada and Tamil.







During her engineering studies, Priyanka participated in several plays and acted in two or three commercials.







Priyanka revealed in an interview that her friends pooled money to make a movie with her during that time.







She clarified that her first Kannada film was 'Ondu Kathe Hella,' but she didn’t tell her family she was making the film.







After its release, her family was shocked to see Priyanka in the film but didn't say a word and instead encouraged her.







Despite her interest in acting, Priyanka never thought about entering films; she dreamed of securing a good job.







If she hadn’t entered the industry, Priyanka mentioned she would have been working in a reputable corporate firm by now.







Priyanka made her Telugu debut with 'Gang Leaders.' On her first day of shooting, seeing veteran actors like Lakshmi and Saranya made her very nervous.







She questioned her worthiness of acting with such accomplished actors and directly asked the director Vikram if he had made a hasty decision in casting her.







From a young age, Priyanka admired Suriya. She was thrilled to get a chance to act with him in 'ET.' After shooting, when Suriya sent her a gift, she excitedly posted it on Instagram.







Priyanka is known for her gentle nature, speaks very little wherever she goes, and has very few friends.







She admires actresses like Nithya Menen, Anushka, and Nazriya, and loves their acting, as she has mentioned on multiple occasions.







Unlike other actresses who might take off on vacations if there’s a shooting gap, Priyanka prefers to rest at home or engage in her favorite activities during her free time, occasionally going on trips.







Getting up early in the morning is quite challenging for Priyanka, and she admitted in an interview that she used to be very lazy about exercising in the early days of her career.







Priyanka is an excellent cook, especially of chicken dishes, which she claims to prepare very deliciously.

She emphasized that her day must start with a cup of coffee; without it, her day doesn't start at all.







Priyanka tries to be the same off-screen as she appears in films, preferring traditional roles over glamorous ones.







In Telugu, she has acted in 'Gang Leader,' 'Sreekaram,' and recently in Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' and is currently acting with Pawan in 'OG.'







In Tamil, she has worked with Sivakarthikeyan in 'Doctor' and 'Don,' and with Dhanush in 'Captain Miller,' all of which were also dubbed into Telugu.






Priyanka Mohan's Journey from Engineer to South Cinema Star: Celebrating Her Rise on Her Birthday!


Anirudh Ravichander is currently creating waves in the South Indian music scene. Originating from Kollywood, this music sensation has gained immense popularity through movies like 'Raghuvaram B.Tech', 'Vikram', 'Jailer', and 'Beast'. His presence guarantees significant hype for the movies. Particularly among the youth, Anirudh's songs and background scores resonate well. Recently, he also delivered a stunning soundtrack for the film 'Devara' starring Tarak, reinforcing the trust placed in him. Although Anirudh has primarily focused on Kollywood until now, it seems he is shifting his focus to Tollywood, sparking discussions about the challenges this poses to local music directors.



A Craze in Telugu Cinema!



The young music sensation Anirudh has a strong following in Telugu cinema as well. He has directly worked on Telugu films like 'Agnyaathavaasi', 'Jersey', 'Gang Leader', and 'UTurn'. While his music in these films was a hit, there wasn't much discussion about Anirudh in Tollywood. However, with recent films like 'Vikram', 'Jailer', and 'Jawan', his reputation has soared to a Pan-India level. The youth are particularly enamored with his background music. These films being dubbed in Telugu also meant that Anirudh’s music was thoroughly enjoyed by the Telugu audience, who listened to his songs on repeat. Due to the demand from NTR's fans, Anirudh was also brought into the 'Devara' project, as recently disclosed by the makers.







A Series of Offers in Tollywood!



Following the success of 'Devara', Anirudh's name is being increasingly heard in Tollywood. Telugu audiences are eager to experience his music in theaters once again. Noticing this interest, Telugu filmmakers are showing a keen desire to work with Anirudh. Observing the reception in Telugu cinema, Anirudh has decided to amp up his involvement in Tollywood projects. Reportedly, he has given the green light to 'VD12', a project in collaboration with Vijay Deverakonda and Gowtam Tinnanuri, and has also agreed to score music for an upcoming film by Nani and Srikanth Odela. Other directors are also reaching out to Anirudh for their movies, with talks suggesting he might take on up to half a dozen Telugu projects in the coming days.







A Challenge for Thaman and Devi Sri?



Music directors Thaman and Devi Sri Prasad have been the top choices in Tollywood for the past few years, typically scoring music for five to eight out of every ten releases. They have been the first two preferences for Telugu directors. However, analysts believe that with Anirudh’s entry, both face stiff competition. Until recently, Anirudh had not prioritized Tollywood, but now that he is focusing on Telugu films, it poses a significant challenge to them. It remains to be seen how Thaman and Devi Sri will fare against the wave of Anirudh's mania.







If These Click, Stopping Them is Tough!



Thaman is currently composing for a film Game Changer directed by Shankar starring Ram Charan. The songs 'Jaragandi Jaragandi' and 'Ra Macha Macha' have already been released to a positive response. Similarly, Thaman is also scoring for Pawan Kalyan's 'OG', and the song 'Hungry Cheetah' has thrilled Pawan's fans. Meanwhile, Thaman has been chosen as the music director for 'Akhanda 2', a sequel directed by Boyapati featuring Balakrishna. On the other hand, Devi Sri Prasad is handling the music for 'Pushpa 2'. The title song and 'Suseki Aggiravva Madiri' from 'Pushpa' have already amassed millions of views on YouTube. If these projects succeed, it could be tough for anyone to challenge Thaman and Devi Sri’s dominance in the industry.






Anirudh's Tollywood Takeover: A New Challenge for Thaman and Devi Sri?


In Tollywood, legendary heroes like Megastar Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna are always in the forefront. Having entertained millions of fans over five decades, they continue to engage their audience energetically even past the age of 60. Recently, at a film industry event marking Balakrishna's 50 years in cinema, Chiranjeevi mentioned their upcoming multi-starrer. Director Boyapati Srinu has been challenged to craft the story, and he recently made some exciting comments about this Chiru-Balayya project, sending fans into a frenzy.



‘Without a Story, It’s a Waste’



Fans are eagerly awaiting the Chiranjeevi-Balakrishna multi-starrer. Both actors have openly declared their readiness to proceed if the script is ready, generating anticipation for the director who will utilize this opportunity. Especially since Megastar Chiranjeevi named Boyapati, expectations for this multi-starrer project are high. Recently, Boyapati commented on the project during an award function related to a channel, stating, "It would be a waste if I don't write a story for Chiru and Balayya, who are the title of my movie." This video is going viral.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1847303422111801807




Why Boyapati?



Many directors attended Balakrishna's Golden Jubilee celebrations, but Chiranjeevi specifically mentioned Boyapati Srinu, who is known as the go-to director for action films. With blockbuster films like ‘Simha’, ‘Legend’, and ‘Akhanda’ with senior actor Balakrishna, Boyapati is considered the best choice for handling this grand multi-starrer project. Analysts believe that Chiranjeevi might have strongly suggested Boyapati with a challenge in mind. At the same time, senior director Y.V.S. Chowdary and other writers are also suggested indirectly by Chiru to seize this opportunity.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1830519890249421017




Is it a Guaranteed Mass Story?



Boyapati Srinu knows the pulse of the mass audience well. Both Chiru and Balayya have a huge following among mass audiences. Films like ‘Gang Leader’, ‘Mutha Mestri’ by Chiru, and faction films like ‘Samarasimha Reddy’, ‘Chennakesava Reddy’, and ‘Narasimha Naidu’ by Balayya have been massive hits in C centers. When such heroes come together, the level of the story can be imagined. Sources close to the development suggest that Boyapati is preparing a strong mass story that will present Chiru and Balayya like never before.







Boyapati Competes with Y.V.S. Chowdary!



Based on films like ‘Indra’ and ‘Samarasimha Reddy’, director Y.V.S. Chowdary is ready to write roles for Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna. Recently, there has been significant buzz about his initiatives in this direction. Chowdary, a die-hard fan of the Nandamuri family and having a strong connection with them, has previously made films with Balayya and Harikrishna. However, after being away from the industry for a while, he has announced a new project aiming to bring back Chiru and Balayya together with his story. It remains to be seen whose story will finally be chosen between Chiru and Balayya.







‘Akhanda 2’ to Come First



In Tollywood, the combo of Balakrishna (Balakrishna) and director Boyapati Srinu (Boyapati Srinu) is well-known for hit films like ‘Simha’ (Simha), ‘Legend’ (Legend), and ‘Akhanda’ (Akhanda). They are now ready to start their fourth project together, recently announced under the title ‘Akhanda 2’. The pooja ceremonies for this movie took place grandly in Hyderabad, attended by Balakrishna's daughters Nara Brahmani (Nara Brahmani), Tejaswini (Tejaswini), and other family members. However, even if Boyapati finalizes the Chiru-Balayya multi-starrer, it will only move to the sets after completing ‘Akhanda 2’.

The film features lead roles by Sandeep Saroj, Yaswanth Pendyala, Eshwar Rachiraju, Trinath Varma, and Prasad Behara, with Sai Kumar, Goparaju Raman, and others in significant roles. Directed by Yadhu Vamsi, the film hit theaters on August 9. Let's find out how the film has been received, if it has captivated audiences, and if it has brought success to producer Niharika Konidela in this review.







Plot



In Purushottampalli village of Godavari district, the Bharinkaalammatalli Jatra is celebrated once every 12 years. This festival, known as 'Bali Cheta,' holds great significance. This time, the festival coincides with the local Panchayat elections, prompting Sarpanch Polisetty Bujji (Sai Kumar) to face competition from Shiva (Sandeep Saroj), who decides to enter the fray. A tragedy at the festival 12 years ago, which resulted in the death of one of Shiva’s friends due to a caste conflict, leads to a resolution in the Panchayat to halt all election campaigning until the festival concludes. What happens next? How does the issue of reservations disrupt Shiva's gang? Did the friends who separated 12 years ago reunite? What role does Sarpanch Polisetty Bujji play? Did Shiva win the election as Sarpanch?







Performances



In this film, 11 young actors play the lead roles. Sandeep Saroj as Shiva, Trinath Varma as Subbu, Eshwar Rachiraju as William, and Yashwant Pendyala as Surya have all made commendable efforts to engage the audience with their distinct performances. The acting experience of Sai Kumar, Goparaju Raman, and Kancherapalem Kishore adds depth to the story. Prasad Behara's performance as the elder is captivating; he brings much humor to the comedic scenes and deep emotion to the dramatic ones. The other cast members have also performed commendably within their roles.







Direction



Director Yadhu Vamsi navigates the storyline set in the 90s, delicately touching upon the sensitive topic of reservations in society. The screenplay attempts to weave together friendship, love, caste issues, and politics. The dialogues, written in the local dialect of Godavari, and the vividly crafted festival scenes are particularly engaging. The first half progresses swiftly with typical Godavari-style comedy, and the interval builds intrigue. In the second half, the focus shifts more towards emotional scenes, though it feels slower compared to the first half. The scenes leading up to the climax offer a satirical take on today's political leaders. The love stories in the film are left somewhat unresolved, the resolution of the reservations issue is abruptly concluded, and some scenes feel unnecessarily stretched, which could be seen as drawbacks.







Technically



On the technical front, Anudeep Dev’s music stands out as a highlight of the film, especially the background score during the festival scenes. Cinematographer Raju’s camera work is commendable. The editing is adequate. The production values are high, showing that Niharika Konidela did not compromise on the budget.







Plus Points



- Story setting



- Godavari style comedy



- Festival scenes



Minus Points



- Slow-paced narration



- Incomplete love narratives



- Abrupt handling of the reservations issue

September 2024 OTT Movies: Telugu Movies Released on OTT in September 2024


Directed by Koratala Siva and starring Jr. NTR, 'Devara: Part 1' has created a storm at the box office, becoming the biggest hit of Tarak's career. The sea fight sequence in particular has thrilled audiences, and Koratala Siva's creativity has been widely praised. However, there's a growing controversy online suggesting that these were not entirely Siva's original ideas, but rather direct copies from a Korean film. Here's the video that's trending as evidence.



What Actually Happened?



The introduction and interval scenes in 'Devara' are so dynamic that they're bound to give anyone goosebumps. No one expected a Telugu director to execute such an elaborate action sequence at sea. The film features a scene where the hero, along with his gang, goes to a ship to steal weapons, dumping the gun-filled crates into the sea. Members of the hero's gang, already stationed in small boats, then retrieve these crates to smuggle them past the naval officers. Yet, netizens are surprised to find a strikingly similar scene in a Korean movie, accusing director Koratala Siva of plagiarism. Audiences are mocking the director for fooling them, urging everyone to check out the Korean movie scene.

That Scene Too!



It's known that Tarak plays a dual role in 'Devara.' Initially, as part of the villain's gang, 'Devara' participates in smuggling for some compelling reasons but later turns good. Meanwhile, he also instills fear among his peers against smuggling. The director showcases a sequence with chairs filled with knives along the coast. However, this scene has also been accused of being copied, with claims that it closely resembles a scene from the Hollywood film 'Vikings.'




https://twitter.com/BackupBrainy/status/1833835236465029376




Is the Story of Devara Also Copied?



There were extensive promotions before the release of 'Devara' claiming that its story was adapted from a copyrighted novel. Tamil director Shankar recently accused that he saw key scenes from his copyrighted novel being used in a film, stressing that creators should respect rights and avoid copying without permission, warning of legal actions. However, Shankar did not clarify which film he referred to. But, the buzz on social media suggests that the story of 'Devara' closely mirrors the Tamil novel 'Veera Yug Nayagan,' for which Shankar holds the rights.







Similar Accusations in the Past



This is not the first time Koratala Siva has faced plagiarism accusations. He was also heavily criticized during the release of 'Srimanthudu' with Mahesh Babu. Writer Sharath Chandra even took the matter to court, claiming his story was copied. The issue had created a sensation across the Telugu states back then. In 2012, Sharath had published his story 'Chachentha Prema' in Swati Monthly, and while he was planning to adapt it into a film, he accused Koratala Siva of making 'Srimanthudu' based on his story.

Having successfully created popular series like 'Family Man' and 'Farzi,' directors Raj &amp; DK have garnered significant recognition. Recently, they launched another highly anticipated series under their direction called 'Citadel: Honey Bunny.' Bollywood star Varun Dhawan and the glamorous Samantha Ruth Prabhu lead in this series titled 'Citadel: Honey Bunny,' which is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Is this series, which arrives with the flair of a James Bond movie and presents a spy action thriller, impressive to the OTT audience? Does Samantha captivate once again in a role similar to her 'Family Man' persona? Let's find out in this review.







What's the Story



Bunny (Varun Dhawan) is a stuntman who also operates as a secret agent. Guru (Kay Kay Menon) leads a private secret agency. During a shoot, Bunny meets junior artist Honey (Samantha) and soon involves her in a compulsory secret operation. The dramatic events of the mission lead Bunny to believe that Honey has died. Eight years later, he discovers that Honey is alive and they have a five-year-old daughter named Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar). Bunny who is abroad returns to India to find them. Meanwhile, some are attempting to kill Honey and her daughter. Who are these individuals? What challenges does Bunny face while searching for his wife? What secrets does Honey possess? What is in the armory that the villainous gang seeks?







Performances



In his role as Bunny, Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan delivers a solid performance, excelling in action sequences. However, it is Samantha who truly shines in the series. Her acting, alongside her prowess in fight scenes, stands out. She skillfully portrays a secret agent, a lover, and a mother, offering a feast for the eyes in her romantic scenes with Varun Dhawan. Just like in the 'Family Man' series, she also sizzles in hot scenes. The series largely revolves around the screen presence of Varun and Samantha. Samantha captivates with her glamour, while young Kashvi Majmundar profoundly influences the storyline with her emotional performance. Kay Kay Menon, Simran, and the rest of Bunny's team do their roles.







Direction



While 'Citadel: Honey Bunny' doesn't offer much novelty in terms of storyline, the way it is presented and the screenplay are commendable. The directors Raj &amp; DK have cleverly divided each episode into two parts, spanning the years 1992 and 2000, which adds intrigue. They've managed to clearly present the connections between the characters across the timelines without confusion. While the first two episodes are mostly introductory, the story picks up from the third episode. The struggle between Honey-Bunny and the villain gang to seize a world-dominating armored object is captivating. However, the lack of thrilling elements on par with 'Family Man,' the absence of twists, and episodes lasting over 50 minutes each are drawbacks.







Technically..



On the technical front, all departments have performed well. Aman Pant's background score is notable. Johan Herlein's cinematography is a special attraction, capturing fight and chase scenes that will enthrall action lovers. However, more care could have been taken with the editing. The production values adhered to by Russo and Raj DK are commendable.

Did You Notice?



The trailer throughout teases unique action thriller elements, beginning with the scenic village of Krishnagiri nestled among mountains. Interestingly, it shows the village plunging into darkness at 3 PM, adding to the intrigue. Vasudev (Kiran Abbavaram), arriving as a postman, falls in love with Satyabhama. During his rounds, a letter dated April 22, 1979, under the name Abhishek, turns Vasudev's life upside down. A masked figure threatening him to reveal what's in the letter is one of the trailer’s gripping scenes. What’s in the letter? Why are the masked man and his gang after Vasudev? These elements significantly add to the suspense. However, the trailer ends with a big twist as it shows Vasudev donning a mask, prompting the audience to ask, "Shall we start the festival?"







Blockbuster Guaranteed?



The trailer of 'KA' has universally received a positive response. Film lovers believe it’s a gripping suspense action thriller that is sure to captivate. Comments have been made about the high production values visible in the trailer.

How It Unfolds?



The trailer starts with a powerful voiceover by Prakash Raj, 'There's no caste, no creed, no fear... but for the first time, fear crept through.' The trailer begins with this dialogue, 'It takes enough courage to live, but not enough to kill. And if you muster that courage again, it's enough to kill that fear,' defining NTR (Devara)'s characterization. Villain Baira's (Saif Ali Khan) character and his gang's atrocities are also displayed. At a point when the gang is planning to kill 'Devara', another character of NTR (Vara) is introduced. His introduction by heroine Janhvi Kapoor indicates he's quite the naive one. Meanwhile, suspense remains whether 'Devara' survives or dies, and what troubles his gang and the village people face due to them, maintaining the suspense until the end of the trailer.







Trailer Highlights!



After watching the trailer, it's apparent that NTR is playing dual roles as father and son. His dialogues, acting, and mass appeal are notably captivating. Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor looks very charming as a village girl. She says to NTR, 'He's got his father's form but not his blood,' and NTR’s surprised expression is a highlight. A scene at the end of the trailer where NTR rides on a shark takes the excitement to the next level. The visuals, background score, and action episodes in the trailer are particularly engaging. Especially, Anirudh’s background music promises to elevate the movie to another level, making it clear from the trailer that theaters are going to be rocking with his signature BGM on September 27.






Junior NTR’s ‘Devara’ Trailer Takes Fans by Storm: Action, Suspense, and Stunning Visuals Unveiled


The film 'Devara' (Devara: Part 1), directed by Koratala Siva and starring Tarak, is currently generating buzz nationwide. Following the global hit 'RRR', expectations are high for this new movie from Tarak, not just in Telugu but also in the North. The trailer is also set to release today, causing hashtags like #JrNTR, #DevaraTrailer, #KoratalaSiva to trend online. Director Koratala Siva is known for following a special formula in each of his films. A close examination of his previous films reveals this pattern. Based on this, some netizens have predicted the plot of Devara, which is now going viral online. Let’s see what those details are.



Is This Koratala's Formula?



Koratala Siva's directorial ventures like 'Mirchi', 'Srimanthudu', 'Janatha Garage', and 'Bharat Ane Nenu' have been blockbuster successes. Although the stories and settings of these films vary, the underlying formula remains the same. This involves an outsider hero who goes to a new place and stands up for the people suffering there, confronting the villain causing the trouble. As it turns out, there is a past connection between the hero and the local villain. Recalling the plots of these films and applying the said formula, one might agree that this could indeed be true. Koratala Siva’s previous film 'Acharya' also followed this formula, where Chiru, as an outsider, goes to a place called Padagattam and ends the chaos created by villains there, with a flashback linking Ram Charan to Chiru and Padagattam.







Is This the Story of Devara?



Based on Koratala Siva’s formula from his previous films, some netizens have predicted the plot of Devara. According to them, the red sea shown in the first teaser is presumed to be a significant location. In this area, NTR leads the fishermen and confronts the villains causing disruptions. In a twist, the villains’ gang plots and seemingly defeats him. However, NTR's son, surviving an attack by the villains, grows up and returns to the area to exact revenge on the villains. Some commentators believe that this plot fits Koratala’s formula and could indeed be the storyline of 'Devara'. However, whether this is accurate remains to be seen, though many posts suggest the plot is quite convincing.



Devara Creates History



The film 'Devara', directed by Koratala Siva and starring NTR, is set to release worldwide on September 27. Having already set records with its music, the movie recently added another achievement by opening its pre-sale ticket bookings overseas, reaching the one million dollar mark. It became the fastest Indian film to reach this milestone at the North American box office, delighting Tarak's fans.







Tarak with Three Star Directors



Following 'Devara', Tarak has lined up a Bollywood film 'War 2' and 'NTR 31'. While Ayan Mukerji is set to direct the Hindi film, 'NTR 31' is helmed by Prashanth Neel. Recently, a photo of Tarak with Koratala Siva and these two directors went viral, with netizens praising Tarak’s collaboration with this three directors. Reportedly, this meet-up is part of the promotions for Devara, as Tarak is expected to appear in an interview with these directors.







Trailer Loading...



The upcoming action drama 'Devara' is set to release its trailer today (September 10) at 5:04 PM. The trailer, lasting 2 minutes and 50 seconds, is said to be packed with action sequences, heavily hyped by the director Koratala Siva and the movie team. The film features Janhvi Kapoor as Tarak’s co-star, with Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Bobby Deol appearing as villains. Young music sensation Anirudh is providing the music for this film.

Weekend OTT Telugu Movies: Enjoy This Vinayaka Chavithi with These Weekend OTT Releases


Cast: Allu Sirish, Gayatri Bharadwaj, Prisha Singh, Ajmal Amir, Sriram Reddy, Mohammed Ali, Mukesh Kumar, and others.



Director: Sam Antone



Music: Hip-hop Tamizha



Cinematography: Krishnan Vasant



Editor: Ruben



Producer: K.E. Gnanavel Raja



Release Date: August 2, 2024



After a considerable hiatus, Mega Hero Allu Sirish makes his comeback with the film 'Buddy', starring alongside heroines Gayatri Bharadwaj and Prisha Singh. Directed by Sam Antone and produced by K.E. Gnanavel Raja under the Studio Green Films banner, this action-adventure film was released on August 2.&nbsp;







What's the Story?



Aditya Ram (Allu Sirish), a pilot, falls in love with Pallavi (Gayatri Bharadwaj), who works as an air traffic controller in Visakhapatnam, without ever meeting her. Just as they plan to meet, unexpected events unfold. Pallavi gets caught in a medical mafia trap and is kidnapped, falling into a coma. Her spirit enters a teddy bear that Aditya once gifted her. How does her spirit, through the teddy, reunite with Aditya? How does Aditya, with the help of the teddy, retrieve her body from the villains? What did the villain gang plan to do with Pallavi's body? This is the story.







How Did They Perform?



Allu Sirish delivers a remarkable performance as Aditya. He excels in the action sequences, showing great maturity as an actor in this film. Gayatri Bharadwaj captivates with her glamour, charming the audience every moment she's on screen. Ajmal Amir, as the villain, matches well against Sirish, impressing with his acting. Second heroine Prisha Singh delights as an air hostess. The other actors also performed commendably within their roles.







How's the Direction?



Director Sam Antone made an effort to craft a unique story with this film. The love track between Allu Sirish and Gayatri Bharadwaj is beautifully executed. The scenes that show their connection despite being physically apart are particularly entertaining for the youth. The film keeps the audience engaged with 'Kalki' and 'Jai Balayya slogans' that add energy. The action sequences involving Buddy and Allu Sirish are enjoyable. However, the director failed to maintain suspense about what happens next, with the scenes being predictable. Some irrelevant comedy scenes caused viewer fatigue. An attempt to inject humor into the crucial climax was unnecessary.







Technically...



Technically speaking, Hip-hop Tamizha's background music is a strong addition, enhancing the action scenes, although the songs themselves are not very memorable. Krishnan Vasant's cinematographer is commendable. Editor Ruben could have sharpened his cuts a bit more. Better output from the graphics department would have added value to the film. Production values are satisfactory.







Plus Points



- Allu Sirish's acting



- The love track



- Action sequences with Buddy



Minus Points



- Screenplay



- Lack of suspense



- Some boring scenes
