Sasimadhanam Review: Watch out for fun Love Story
Cast: Pavan Sidhu, Soniya Singh, Roopa lakshmi, Pradeep Raparthi, Krithika, Ashok Chandra
Director: Winod Gali
Music Director: Sinjit Yerramilli
Cinematography: Rehan Shaikh
Editor: Anil Kumar P
Producers: Harish Kohirkar
Release Date: July 4, 2024
OTT Platform: ETV Win
The latest Telugu romantic love drama web series, "Sasimadhanam," has premiered on the popular OTT platform ETV Win starting July 4. The main roles are played by Pavan Sidhu and Soniya Singh, who have previously starred together in several short films and are rumored to be a couple in real life. How does the series fare? How captivating is their chemistry? Let's find out in this review.
What's the Story?
Madan (Pavan Sidhu) from Warangal lives with his brother's family and earns money through betting. 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

![Bahishkarana Series Review: Anjali's Riveting Portrayal in a Tale of Love and Revenge ](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/20161826/Bahishkarana.jpg)
Bahishkarana Series Review: Anjali's Riveting Portrayal in a Tale of Love and Revenge
Cast: Anjali, Ananya Nagalla, Chaitanya Sagiraju, Ravindra Vijay, Shanmukh, Mahaboob Basha, Sri Tej, Baby Chaitra, Sammeta Gandhi, and others.
Directed by: Mukesh Prajapati
Cinematography: Prasanna S. Kumar
Music by: Siddharth Sadashivuni
Editing: Raviteja Girijala
Producer: Prashant Malishetti
OTT Platform: ZEE5
Release Date: July 19, 2024
Renowned actress Anjali stars as a prostitute in the series 'Bahishkarana,' a rural revenge action drama directed by Mukesh Prajapati. The series also features significant roles by Ravindra Vijay, Ananya Nagalla, Sri Tej, Shanmukh, Mahaboob Basha, and Chaitanya Sagiraju. Promotional materials have already heightened expectations for this series, which premiered on ZEE5 on July 19, consisting of six episodes. Let's delve into the review to see how this web series fares.
Plot
Set in the 1990s in Peddapalli, a village in Guntur district, the story centers around Shivayya (Ravindra Vijay), the authoritarian village president whose influence manipulates the lives of the villagers, especially women. Among them is Pushpa (Anjali), who lives under his control as his concubine. Darshi (Sri Tej), an employee of Shivayya, falls in love with Pushpa and they plan to marry. However, Shivayya, feigning agreement, strategically sabotages their plans and instead marries Darshi to his niece, Lakshmi (Ananya Nagalla). Amidst this chaos, Darshi finds himself wrongly embroiled in a legal case. The unfolding drama explores who framed Darshi, his confrontation with Shivayya, the repercussions he faces, and how Pushpa, with the aid of Lakshmi, seeks revenge against Shivayya. The series delves into these compelling dynamics.
Performances
Anjali is captivating in the role of a prostitute. With her dialogues and mannerisms, she mesmerized the audience. She beautifully portrays the variations of a woman forced into a life she dislikes and struggling for her lover's affection. Anjali also shines in action sequences, particularly impressing in the climax. Sri Tej as Darshi delivers a compelling performance, embodying a young man from the lower strata who cannot tolerate injustice. Ananya Nagalla as Lakshmi offers a natural performance, while Ravindra Vijay as the villainous Shivayya delivers a solid performance, appearing powerful through his dialogues and looks. The rest of the cast adequately fulfill their roles.
Direction
Director Mukesh Prajapati crafts this series as a period revenge action drama. He brings to life the struggle of a prostitute fighting against the injustices done to her lover. The series vividly portrays how caste discriminations dominated rural areas in the past, showing how the upper classes oppressed the lower castes and particularly women. The series touches on delicate issues like caste and untouchability, giving importance to drama and emotions. However, despite a promising concept, the presentation feels routine and the series progresses flatly without significant twists. While the backdrop of prostitution offers a fresh element, the rest of the storyline recalls plots from older films. Some disturbing scenes aside, 'Bahishkarana' consistently entertains.
Technically
On the technical front, cinematographer Prasanna S. Kumar does an excellent job. His camera work effectively transports the audience back to the 1990s. Siddharth Sadashivuni's background score is a significant plus, elevating the action sequences to a higher level. The production values are also notably high.
Plus Points
- Anjali's performance
- Periodic revenge drama
- Background music
Minus Points
- Lack of twists
- Some boring scenes

Polimera 3: Targeting Bollywood Audiences with ‘Polimera 3’.. Could It Be Another ‘Kantara’?
The film "Maa Oori Polimera" captivated Telugu audiences so thoroughly that its impact is widely recognized without further explanation. Quietly released on OTT during the pandemic, this film unexpectedly became a sensation. With its story set against a backdrop of black magic, it received a warm reception from viewers. Encouraged by this success, the producers launched its sequel, "Polimera 2," in theaters, which proved to be just as successful and profitable. Given this success, Dr. Anil Viswanath, the director of Polimera, has embarked on ambitious plans for the series. He announced that the third installment would be released on a pan-India scale.
On a National Level..
The horror thrillers "Polimera" and "Polimera 2" featured Satyam Rajesh, Kamakshi Bhaskarla, Baladitya, and Getup Srinu in leading roles. "Polimera 2," released in theaters last year, achieved significant box office success, breaking even within the first two days. In this context, the movie team recently announced the production of "Polimera 3" and also released a special poster. It is clear that the film is being made at a pan-India level and will be released in Telugu, Hindi, and other South Indian languages. Distributor Vamsi Nandipati is turning producer with "Polimera 3," and it is known that Bhogendra Gupta, the producer of the Polimera films, will serve as a co-producer.

Shooting Soon
Director Dr. Anil Viswanath has finished writing the script for "Polimera 3." Pre-production activities are currently advancing quickly, and the film unit plans to begin shooting soon, targeting an early release next year.

Answers to the Puzzles in ‘Polimera 3’!
Director Anil Viswanath left several puzzles in "Polimera 2" that will be answered in "Polimera 3." The climax of "Polimera 2" showed Komurayya (Satyam Rajesh) discovering treasure through black magic in the temple cellar in Jastipalli. As he goes to meet his wife, Lakshmi (Kamakshi Bhaskarla) poisons him. Suddenly, actor Prithvi arrives and shoots Lakshmi on the forehead. Why did Prithvi do that? What did Komurayya do with the treasure? What was Komurayya’s brother Jangayya (Baladitya) searching for? These questions will be addressed in the third part.

Another ‘Kantara’?
Kannada actor Rishab Shetty's "Kantara," which he directed, became a nationwide sensation with little need for an introduction. Although "Kantara" and "Polimera" are set against village backdrops and feature different storylines, they share themes centered around unseen forces. "Kantara" explores divine power, while "Polimera" delves into black magic. Currently, there is a strong demand for films with unique content in the North. Analysts believe that "Polimera 3" has the potential to captivate Bollywood audiences by offering a fresh and distinctive experience. Consequently, "Polimera 3" is anticipated to make a significant impact at the pan-India level.

Maharaja Movie OTT: 'Maharaja' OTT Date Locked.. Want to Know Why This Film Became a Sensation?
Featuring the distinctive actor Vijay Sethupathi, 'Maharaja' is a crime and suspense thriller that premiered in theaters on June 14 and achieved unexpected success. The film was a hit across all the languages in which it was released. Despite minimal promotions and lacking a star-studded cast, the movie demonstrated that compelling content alone can drive success. For those who missed it in theaters, a leading OTT platform has announced that it will soon be streaming the film. Let's delve into why 'Maharaja' was such a success and examine the elements that captivated the audience.
When is it Streaming?
The movie 'Maharaja', directed by Nithilan Swaminathan and featuring Vijay Sethupathi, has locked its OTT release date. It is set to captivate OTT audiences and will start streaming on Netflix from July 12. The platform has announced that the film will be available in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. The cast includes notable appearances by Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas, Nataraj, Bharathiraja, and Abhirami.
₹100 Crore Collections
'Maharaja' marks the 50th film in Vijay Sethupathi's career. There were no significant expectations for the movie prior to its release, and the production team did not undertake extensive promotions. Yet, the film started with a bang in theaters, quickly garnering positive reviews and substantial box office returns. Recently, it joined the ₹100 crore club, astounding everyone. This milestone, achieved in just a few days, was announced by the makers with a special poster, once again proving that content-driven films can command a massive audience.
Reasons for Success!
Director Nithilan Swaminathan crafted 'Maharaja' as a unique action thriller. Although the film follows a conventional revenge action drama structure, its screenplay mesmerized the audience. The narrative, spanning past and future timelines, impressed with its unpredictable twists and emotionally charged storytelling. Particularly, the twists during the interval and climax sequences, along with Vijay Sethupathi’s action, won over the audience. Furthermore, the portrayal of Vijay Sethupathi’s character deeply resonated with viewers. The injustice done to Maharaja's daughter moved the audience profoundly, and the revelation of his deep-seated anger even had the police sympathizing with his cause. These elements are why 'Maharaja' achieved such remarkable success.
What is the Story?
Maharaja (Vijay Sethupathi), a barber, loses his wife in an unforeseen accident and lives secludedly with his daughter Jyothi, away from the city. One day, Maharaja, injured, goes to the police station to report that intruders attacked him at his home and abducted Lakshmi, who had saved his daughter’s life. He pleads with the police to find Lakshmi at any cost. Who is Lakshmi? Why was Maharaja attacked? What is his vendetta with the attackers? What injustice was done to Maharaja’s daughter? What is the strategy behind Maharaja’s visit to the station? This forms the crux of the story.
