      Honeymoon Express OTT: Telugu Romantic Film Making Waves on OTT, Breaking Records!
      Honeymoon Express OTT: Telugu Romantic Film Making Waves on OTT, Breaking Records!
      Once, films that flopped in theaters had a grim fate with little hope for recovery. However, the advent of OTT platforms has significantly changed this dynamic. Movies that didn’t do well in theaters are now making a splash on OTT if they have good content, attracting high viewership and breaking records. Recently, the film 'Honeymoon Express' has been gaining special attention on OTT and is swiftly winning accolades from viewers. Let’s dive into the details. Record Views... The film 'Honeymoon Express,' featuring Chaitanya Rao and Hebah Patel, was released in theaters on June 21 this year and received mixed responses. Despite its unique concept, it didn’t attract much attention at the box office. Directed by Bala Rajashekaruni, the film made its way to Amazon for streaming on August 27. Coming to streaming without much anticipation, the film gradually won the approval of OTT audiences. Its views on Amazon have steadily increased, thanks to viewers recommending it to their friends. In this process, 'Honeymoon Express' has set a new record on OTT with 40 million minutes viewed, prompting Amazon to release a special poster celebrating this milestone. Movie Highlights! Director Bala Rajashekaruni crafted this film around contemporary themes of love, marriage, and divorce, engaging the audience, especially the youth, with its compelling storyline and narration. The entry of an elderly couple, their introduction of the 'Honeymoon Express' game to the protagonists, and the ensuing romantic scenes at the resort have captivated the youth. Kalyan Malik's music has been a significant strength to the film, with the background score also receiving praise. The chemistry between Chaitanya Rao and Hebah Patel also worked well, drawing in the youth who missed it in theaters. However, some scenes being overly romantic might pose a bit of discomfort for family audiences. The Plot Ishan (Chaitanya Rao) and Sonali (Hebah Patel) meet through a minor accident. This acquaintance blossoms into love and eventually leads to marriage. However, they have different ways of thinking; Sonali is fast-paced, while Ishan is more deliberate, leading to frequent conflicts between them. One day, they meet a senior couple who introduce them to the 'Honeymoon Express' game and send them to a resort. What is 'Honeymoon Express'? Does it resolve the conflicts between Ishan and Sonali? Do their romantic lives improve? That's the story to discover.

      Mahesh Babu's Voice Shines in 'Mufasa: The Lion King' Telugu Trailer
      Mahesh Babu's Voice Shines in 'Mufasa: The Lion King' Telugu Trailer
      Among the prestigious projects by the famous Hollywood production company Disney, 'Mufasa: The Lion King' is a notable one. Currently in production, the film features Aaron Stone, Kelvin Harrison Jr., among others. The Telugu trailer for this movie has just been released, where Mahesh Babu has lent his voice to the critical character of Mufasa, impressing everyone with his dubbing. The trailer has received widespread praise for how fittingly Mahesh's voice suits the lion. So, what's in the trailer? What are the dialogues Mahesh Babu has delivered? Let’s find out now. Mahesh's Voice is the Highlight The production company Disney released the Telugu trailer of 'Mufasa: The Lion King' on Monday (August 26). It starts with "It's time I told you a story, a story of little lions just like you," and dives into the narrative. The trailer explores the brotherhood and friendship between Mufasa and Taka, known as Scar, even though they are not brothers by birth. "Sometimes this cool breeze feels like it's bringing memories from my home," a dialogue delivered by Mahesh Babu catches the attention. "We must fight together; nothing will happen to you Taka, don't be afraid," are among the powerful dialogues delivered by Mahesh Babu that stand out in the trailer. With his comedic timing, Mahesh also entertains in the end saying, "You said something just now," which highlights the trailer. The trailer of Mufasa The Lion King went trending on social media within minutes of its release. Fans and Telugu movie lovers alike are commenting that they will watch the movie in theaters just for Mahesh's voice. https://twitter.com/urstrulyMahesh/status/1827943721280631129 'This Is Very Special to Me' Mahesh Babu himself posted the Telugu trailer of Mufasa on his X account. On this occasion, he made some interesting comments. "A new dimension to a character we know and love. I am very happy to provide the voice for Mufasa in Telugu. Being a huge fan of this classic makes this very special to me," he wrote. He also spoke about dubbing earlier, saying, "I have great respect for Disney. Mufasa attracts everyone not only as a father leading his son but also as a great king of the jungle. Working with Disney is personally very special to me. I look forward to enjoying this with my children. I am eagerly waiting to watch Mufasa with my family and fans on December 20." Mahesh in Telugu, Shah Rukh in Hindi The Hindi version trailer of 'Mufasa: The Lion King' was also released recently. In it, Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan's son, Abram, has provided the voice for young Mufasa. Interestingly, in the same film, Shah Rukh Khan voices the older Mufasa, and his eldest son, Aryan Khan, voices Simba. Speaking about the film, Shah Rukh said, "Mufasa has a wonderful legacy. He reigns as the great king of the jungle. This role has resonated with me as a father. This movie shows how Mufasa's life unfolds from childhood to kingship. Working on this role again after 2019 The Lion King feels special, especially working with my children." The film Mufasa is set to have a grand release in Telugu, Hindi, English, and Tamil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oelsxH0orHI Dubbing Isn’t New to Mahesh... But! This isn't the first time Mahesh Babu has done dubbing; he has previously lent his voice in the background for two films, Pawan Kalyan's 'Jalsa' and Tarak's 'Baadshah.' However, those were not character-specific but were meant to elevate the role. This is the first time Mahesh is fully dubbing for a character. It will be interesting to see how well Mahesh captivates the audience with his voice. Busy with 'SSMB29' Mahesh is set to star in an adventurous action movie directed by the legendary Rajamouli. He will appear in a new look, sporting long hair and a beard for this role. Information suggests that the official launch of this movie by Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli is imminent. The film will also involve several Hollywood actors and technicians, making it a highly anticipated project.

      Kalki 2: New Challenges for Prabhas with Star Heroine.. 'Kalki 2' Seems Unlikely Soon!
      Kalki 2: New Challenges for Prabhas with Star Heroine.. 'Kalki 2' Seems Unlikely Soon!
      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD', directed by Nag Ashwin and featuring Prabhas, made a massive impact at the Indian box office. With a stellar cast including Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone, the movie generated over ₹1100 crores, greatly exceeding expectations. This remarkable success has turned attention towards its sequel, with audiences eagerly anticipating the release of 'Kalki 2'. However, recent reports suggest that the shooting for 'Kalki 2' is unlikely to commence soon, reportedly due to complications involving the lead actress, Deepika Padukone. Shooting Breaks! Producer Ashwani Dutt previously mentioned that 'Kalki 2' was expected to release around June or July next year, with 60% of the shooting already complete. However, the remaining shooting is facing delays due to Deepika Padukone. Currently, Deepika is pregnant and is expected to give birth in September. She has decided to take at least a year off from films after giving birth. As part of this, she has even let go of a much-loved project with Rohit Shetty and declined a prominent Bollywood show. This suggests that she might also be unavailable for shooting 'Kalki 2'. Deepika is Crucial! Deepika Padukone's role is pivotal to 'Kalki 2'. The second part is expected to revolve around her character. Director Nag Ashwin plans to resume 'Kalki 2' on the sets right after Sankranti, and hero Prabhas is eagerly waiting for this. If Deepika is unable to attend the shooting, it poses a significant challenge for the Kalki team, potentially leading to rescheduling the dates Prabhas had set aside for 'Kalki 2'. This unexpected development is creating new complications for Prabhas, leading to speculation that 'Kalki 2' might now be pushed to a 2026 release. The Real Story in Part 2! 'Kalki 2898 AD' seems primarily to introduce the characters. Prabhas (as Bhairava), Deepika Padukone (as Sumathi), Amitabh Bachchan (as Ashwatthama), Kamal Haasan (as the villain Supreme Yashkin), and Vijay Deverakonda (as Arjuna) are central to the narrative of Kalki. The director, Nag Ashwin, set up the backgrounds and significance of each character in the first part, showing the hardships people face at the end of Kali Yuga and the villain Supreme Yashkin's tyranny. The conditions before the arrival of Kalki, the tenth avatar of Vishnu, were depicted in 'Part 1'. However, the hero Prabhas and the villain Supreme Yashkin did not come face to face in the first part. In 'Part 2', these two are expected to confront each other directly, making the second part more intriguing. Kamal Haasan's Significant Role Kamal Haasan’s role in the Kalki film lasts less than 15 minutes, offering the audience little opportunity to see his performance beyond two or three dialogues. Supreme Yashkin gains divine power by injecting himself with serum extracted from Sumathi (Deepika Padukone) while she is pregnant. His enhanced power is shown in the climax of 'Kalki'. This indicates that Kamal Haasan’s role will be fully realized in 'Kalki 2'. Speaking at a recent event, Kamal also confirmed that he would appear more extensively in 'Kalki 2'. Consequently, fans might get to see more of Kamal Haasan’s formidable acting as the plot progresses, with Prabhas (as Karna/Bhairava) and Amitabh Bachchan (as Ashwatthama) aiding the young Kalki in defeating Supreme Yashkin. Who will Play Kalki? According to mythology, Kalki, the avatar of Vishnu, ends the Kali Yuga. From the start of the shooting of Kalki, everyone assumed Prabhas would play Kalki. However, the director threw a curveball by portraying him as Karna. This makes it interesting to speculate who will appear as Kalki in the film. Since Kalki remains in Sumathi’s womb until the end of the first part, there is no chance for him to suddenly appear fully grown in 'Part 2'. Thus, there is a possibility that Kalki might be shown as a child. This child, aided by Prabhas (Karna/Bhairava) and Ashwatthama (Amitabh Bachchan), might be the one to vanquish Supreme Yashkin.

      Brinda Web Series Review: Trisha Takes in Gripping Crime Thriller on SonyLIV
      Brinda Web Series Review: Trisha Takes in Gripping Crime Thriller on SonyLIV
      Cast: Trisha, Indrajith Sukumaran, Jayaprakash, Amani, Ravindra Vijay, Anand Sami, Rakendu Mouli, and others Written and Directed by: Surya Manoj Vangal Cinematography: Dinesh K. Babu Music: Shakti Kanth Karthik Editor: Anwar Ali Producer: Kolla Ashish Release Date: August 2, 2024 Streaming Platform: SonyLIV Star heroine Trisha, who has excelled in films, has embarked on a new journey in the OTT space with her debut web series, "Brinda." Directed by Surya Manoj Vangal, this crime thriller sees Trisha in the role of a police officer. The series also features Indrajith Sukumaran, Jayaprakash, Amani, Ravindra Vijay, Anand Sami, and Rakendu Mouli in significant roles. "Brinda" began streaming on SonyLIV from August 2. How does this web series fare? Does it capture the OTT audience? Let’s explore in this review. Plot Brinda (Trisha) is a newly appointed SI at a police station. Being a woman, she initially receives little respect from her colleagues. One day, a corpse is discovered in a local pond. The post-mortem reveals that the victim was scalped and stabbed 16 times in the chest. Despite her superior’s orders to close the case, Brinda starts her investigation and uncovers a shocking truth. She discovers a pattern of 16 brutal murders. Consequently, senior police officials set up a special investigation team and include Brinda as a member. Who is the serial killer? Why are the murders being committed? How does Brinda’s team apprehend him? What is the connection of these murders to superstitions? Performances As police officer Brinda, Trisha captivates with her performance, portraying a dignified woman with conviction. She excels in action sequences. On the other hand, Anand Sami impresses as the villain, blending innocence with cruelty in his performance, becoming a highlight of the series. Indrajith and Ravindra Vijay perform well within their roles. The rest of the cast also manage to deliver decent performances. Direction On the narrative front, director Surya Manoj Vangal crafts this series with a conventional crime thriller theme but manages to engage the audience right from the beginning with a well-paced screenplay. The way the story intertwines incidents from the past and present is commendable. The investigation led by Brinda’s team unfolds intriguingly as they uncover each clue. However, the series seems elongated under the guise of detailed investigation, and some scenes of evidence collection stretch beyond logical reasoning. The portrayal of other police officers as unable to spot even minor clues does not quite impress. The subplot involving Trisha’s sister appears irrelevant to the main story. While the series spans eight episodes, some seem overly drawn out. Overall, the director successfully maintains engagement from start to finish. Technically... Technically, all departments have performed well. The background score, in particular, adds a significant plus to the film. The cinematography is also commendable. The editor could have tightened the work to benefit the pace. The production values are high.

"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. https://twitter.com/i/status/1810894418091692096 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. Industry sources indicate that "Part 3" will surpass the first two installments in terms of spectacle, featuring even more twists and a compelling storyline. 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. https://twitter.com/telugufilmnagar/status/1810936077869371440 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.

      Devara Promotions: Are Devara Promotions Not Heading in the Right Direction? Is Tollywood Being Neglected?
      Devara Promotions: Are Devara Promotions Not Heading in the Right Direction? Is Tollywood Being Neglected?
      The movie "Devara," directed by star director Koratala Siva and starring the 'Man of Masses' Tarak, has created a Pan-India buzz. Following a global hit like 'RRR,' Tarak's new film has been eagerly awaited by both his fans and cinema lovers. With the film set to release on September 27, the Devara team is busy with promotions. However, the focus on the North Indian market has led to dissatisfaction among the Telugu audience. So far, none of the promotional events for Devara have originated from the Telugu states, raising concerns that the Devara team is neglecting Tollywood. Trolls on Chennai Promotions As part of its promotions, the Devara team landed in Chennai on Tuesday (September 17). The event featured Tarak, along with actress Janhvi Kapoor, director Koratala Siva, music director Anirudh, and Tamil actor Kalaiyarasan. During this, Tarak expressed his desire to work with Tamil director Vetrimaaran, which although captivated the Tamil audience, left Telugu cinema lovers feeling slighted. Trolls are questioning why a star like Tarak would request a Tamil director to make a movie with him, suggesting he is diminishing his own stature. Devara Team on The Kapil Sharma Show! The Devara team has also been conducting back-to-back promotions in Mumbai, attempting to hype up the movie. As part of this, Tarak appeared on the very popular 'The Kapil Sharma Show Season 2.' Being a major Bollywood star, it’s almost obligatory to appear on this show, which has a fan base that transcends regional boundaries. Bollywood stars believe that appearing on this show greatly boosts their movie promotions. During the 'RRR' promotions, Rajamouli, Tarak, and Ram Charan had made an appearance on this show. Recently, Tarak revisited the show for Devara, along with Janhvi Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Saif Ali Khan. The promo, which also features Team India captain Rohit Sharma & Co, has been captivating. This episode is scheduled to stream on Netflix at 8 PM on September 21. https://twitter.com/NetflixIndia/status/1834826983017976063 Tarak in Hindi Bigg Boss 18? The Hindi Bigg Boss show enjoys significant popularity. With Salman Khan hosting the upcoming Hindi Bigg Boss Season 18, there is strong buzz that the Devara team will promote their movie on the show. Official confirmation from the Devara team is pending, but it is evident from the current strategy that Tarak & Co. are not missing any opportunity for promotions in the North. Bigg Boss 18 is set to stream starting October 4, by which time Devara will have already been released. It remains to be seen if the Devara team will participate in Hindi Bigg Boss. Interview with Animal Director Recently, the Devara team was interviewed by Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The chat session, which included Tarak, director Koratala Siva, Saif Ali Khan, and Janhvi Kapoor, was notably entertaining. Sandeep posed some intriguing questions to the Devara team, to which Janhvi and Tarak responded in their unique styles. Tarak mentioned that Devara is an action drama that will thrill the masses. Koratala Siva spoke about his long-standing friendship with Tarak, and the team mentioned that they had spent 35 days filming an underwater sequence. Janhvi claimed Devara would be the best movie in everyone’s careers. Sandeep playfully commented on the movie's runtime, and when asked how long it was, he said with a laugh that it was 3 hours and 24 minutes. Despite Sandeep Reddy Vanga being a Telugu director, the entire interview was conducted in English, which has left Telugu viewers unable to connect.

Lately, the Devara team has been focused predominantly on Bollywood, believing that effective promotions there could translate into significant box office returns. Even the movie’s key trailer was released in Mumbai. There have been comments suggesting it would be beneficial to similarly promote the movie in Telugu, given Tarak’s star image and expected box office pull in Telugu-speaking regions. Compared to the promotions conducted in the North, there seems to be little planning for significant promotional activities in Telugu. Fans are surprised that young heroes Siddhu and Vishwak are interviewing NTR and Koratala, raising questions about the level of NTR’s engagement. There are criticisms that leveraging his close relationships with big names like Mahesh, Prabhas, and Rajamouli for interviews would have been more beneficial for Telugu promotions. The interview Rajamouli conducted with the 'Salaar' team is often cited as an example. So far, the focus on Bollywood in promotions has been strongly criticized for overshadowing efforts in Tollywood. How the Devara team will address this remains to be seen.
