Anjan Ramachandra and Shravani Reddy lead in Smaran Reddy’s 'Love Reddy', with N.T. Ramaswami, Ganesh D.S., Ravi Kalabrahma, and Vani Gouda in supporting roles. The film, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, garnered high expectations among the audience, especially after the recent trailer spiked interest. Let’s see how it fared with the audience as it released on October 18.







The Story



Narayana Reddy (Anjan Ramachandra), at 30, is still unmarried. Despite numerous matchmaking attempts by his family, he rejects every proposal, claiming none of the girls meet his expectations. One day, he falls in love with Divya (Shravani Reddy) at first sight on a bus. Transforming into 'Love Reddy', he sees her as his world. Divya befriends Narayana but rejects his love proposal. Even though she likes Love Reddy, why did Divya reject him? What twist does Divya's entry bring to Narayana Reddy’s life? Does their love story end happily? The film must be watched to find out.







Performance Analysis



All actors in 'Love Reddy' are relatively new. Anjan Ramachandra impresses as the lovelorn Narayana Reddy, especially given that this is his first film, captivating with his natural acting. Shravani Reddy justifies her role as Divya. N.T. Ramaswami, playing Divya's father, catches everyone’s attention, especially with the twist he introduces in the climax. Jyothi Madan, as the girl who likes the hero, and the actor playing the hero’s brother, among others, performed well within their roles.







Direction Analysis



Director Smaran Reddy has crafted a pure love story revolving around the critical issue of honor and prestige. Though the story is routine, it's presented with a natural flair of Andhra-Karnataka locality. Starting with a matchmaking scene, the director makes the narrative engaging once the protagonist becomes 'Love Reddy'. However, his efforts to express his love come off as somewhat clichéd. The curiosity of whether Divya will reciprocate Love Reddy's feelings keeps the first half engaging. The second half, dealing with the rejection of his love and the reasons behind it, connects well with today's youth. The last 20 minutes are emotionally driven, making the climax particularly impactful. Overall, Smaran Reddy has marked a good score as a director.







Technical Aspects



On the technical front, Prince Henry's music is a major strength to the film, bringing scenes to life with his distinctive background score. The songs are appealing. The cinematography is commendable, richly presenting each frame. The editing is adequate, and the production values are high.







Plus Points



- Acting

Love Reddy Movie Review: A Heartwarming Tale of Love and Honor


Cast: Raj Tarun, Malvi Malhotra, Mannara Chopra, Ankita Thakur, Makarand Deshpande, Pragathi, Raja Ravindra, John Vijay, Prithvi, Tagubothu Ramesh, and others



Director: A.S. Ravi Kumar



Music: JB



Cinematography: Jawahar Reddy



Producer: Malkapuram Shiva Kumar



Release Date: August 2, 2024



Amid controversies, the new youth-centric film "Thiragabadara Saami," starring Raj Tarun and directed by A.S. Ravi Kumar, is released Today. Raj Tarun is joined by Malvi Malhotra and Mannara Chopra, who play the lead roles. Other significant characters are portrayed by Makarand Deshpande, Raja Raveendra, and Pragathi. The film, however, has been embroiled in scandal, with Raj Tarun's ex-girlfriend Lavanya accusing him of infidelity and being romantically involved with Malvi Malhotra. Released on August 2, amidst these controversies, "Thiragabadara Saami" has generated significant interest. How did the film fare, and was it able to engage the audience? Let's explore in this review.







Plot



Giri (Raj Tarun) is a very timid person who is afraid of everything and generally unresponsive to his surroundings. In contrast, Shailaja (Malvi Malhotra) is bold and aggressive. She doesn't hesitate to fiercely deal with anyone who teases her. A romance develops between these two with very different personalities. But how does Giri cope with controlling Shailaja? What challenges do their love face? Why did the usually calm Giri have to fight back? What did he do to win his love? You'll have to watch the movie to find out.







Performances



Hero Raj Tarun has fully immersed himself in the role of Giri. Initially portrayed as an innocent, he later transforms into a lover who fights for his beloved against all odds, showing great variation in two dimensions. Particularly in action sequences, Raj excels, showcasing an intensity never seen before in his career. Malvi Malhotra perfectly embodies Shailaja, making a strong impression in her Telugu film debut. The on-screen chemistry between Raj Tarun and Malvi Malhotra works very well. Second heroine Mannara Chopra also delivers an outstanding performance. John Vijay, Raghubabu, Ankita Thakur, Pragathi, and Raja Raveendra do their roles effectively.







Direction



Director A.S. Ravi Kumar has crafted this film as a love and action entertainer. The first half smoothly progresses with the introduction of the hero and heroine and their love track, entertaining with comedy arising from Shailaja dominating Giri. Their chemistry ensures that the first half never drags. A twist at the interval heightens interest for the second half, which is filled with hero elevations and action sequences, keeping the audience engaged. However, some scenes might feel boring, and certain fight scenes seem over-the-top for Raj Tarun's persona, lacking logical connection. Emotional scenes also did not resonate as well. Those looking for a solid action entertainer will enjoy "Thiragabadara Saami."







Technically...



On the technical front, the background music provided by JB is a significant asset, elevating the action sequences to another level. However, the songs are not particularly memorable. The cinematography is also commendable, and the editing is adequate. The production values are high.







Plus Points



- Raj Tarun's acting



- Love track



- Action sequences



Minus Points



- Non-effective emotional scenes



- Some boring scenes

Thiragabadara Saami Movie Review: A Tale of Love and Valor


Starring Anjan Ramachandra and Shravani as the leads, the recent movie 'Love Reddy' arrived in theaters last week and received positive feedback. The chemistry between the leads and the climax particularly resonated with the audience. However, despite the positive reviews, the movie has been disappointing in terms of collections. In response, the movie team initiated a unique event titled 'Blockbuster but Failure Meet' to interact with audiences in theaters. During one of these visits, an unexpected incident occurred where a woman attacked a member of the acting team, and the video of this incident has gone viral.



Why Did the Attack Happen?



Despite the positive reception of 'Love Reddy,' the lack of box office collections led the movie team to undertake a unique initiative. They started visiting cinemas where the movie was playing to gather feedback directly from the audience. Recently, while the team was at GPR Mall in Nizampet, Hyderabad, an incident occurred. During the climax scene, where the heroine’s father (N.T. Ramaswamy) hits his daughter with a stone for not accepting the hero, a woman in the audience, overcome with emotion from the scene, attacks the actor playing the father role. This sudden outburst shocked everyone present. Efforts were made to calm the woman down, explaining that it was just a movie.

How is 'Love Reddy'?



Directed by Smaran Reddy, 'Love Reddy' is a clean love story revolving around the theme of honor and dignity. Although it follows a routine storyline, it is presented naturally with an Andhra-Karnataka backdrop. The film starts with a matrimonial viewing scene and becomes more interesting as the hero transforms into 'Love Reddy.' However, his efforts to express his love seem quite routine. The curiosity of whether Divya will reciprocate Love Reddy’s feelings carries the first half. In the second half, the rejection of his love and the reasons stated connect well with today’s youth. The last 20 minutes are handled very emotionally by the director, culminating in a climax that weighs on the viewer's heart. Overall, Director Smaran Reddy has made a significant mark with this film.







The Storyline



Narayana Reddy (Anjan Ramachandra) is 30 and still unmarried. Despite numerous matches seen by his family, he rejects each one, claiming they do not appeal to him. One day on a bus, he sees Divya (Shravani Reddy) and falls in love at first sight, transforming her into his entire world. Divya befriends Narayana Reddy, but when he eventually gathers the courage to confess his love, she rejects his proposal. Why did Divya reject Love Reddy despite her feelings for him? How did Divya’s entry turn Narayana Reddy's life around? Does their love story have a happy ending? To find out, one must watch the movie.

Cast: Sandeep Saroj, Yashwant Pendyala, Eshwar Rachiraju, Trinath Varma, Prasad Behara, Tina Shravya, Radya Suresh, Tejashwi Rao, Saikumar



Director: Yadhu Vamsi



Music: Anudeep Dev



Cinematographer: Raju Eduroulu



Editor: Anwar Ali



Producer: Niharika Konidela



Release Date: 09-08-2024



Niharika Konidela’s latest production, 'Committee Kurrollu,' has been released. 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

Niharika Konidela's 'Committee Kurrollu': A Vibrant Tapestry of Love, Politics, and Village Festivities


Cast: Vishwak Sen, Meenakshi Choudhary, Shraddha Srinath, Sunil, Naresh, Hyper Aadi, Harsha Vardhan, and othersWriter &amp; Director: Raviteja MullapudiMusic: Jakes BejoyCinematography: Manoj Reddy KatasaniEditing: Anwar AliProducer: Ram TalluriRelease Date: November 22, 2024



Young hero Vishwak Sen has already impressed Telugu audiences this year with Gaami and Gangs of Godavari. Now, he returns with Mechanic Rocky, aiming to charm audiences once again. The film, co-starring Meenakshi Choudhary and Shraddha Srinath, was released grandly on November 22 under the direction of Raviteja Mullapudi. Let’s see how the film turned out and whether Vishwak scored a hat-trick.







The Plot



Rocky (Vishwak Sen) drops out of his B.Tech and joins his father Ramakrishna's (Naresh) garage as a mechanic. Alongside repairing vehicles, he also teaches driving. Maya (Shraddha Srinath) and Priya (Meenakshi Choudhary) join him to learn driving. During his college days, Rocky falls for Priya, but they part ways after he quits his studies. Years later, Rocky meets Priya again. Does he get closer to her? What shocking truths does Rocky discover about Priya? How does Maya influence their lives? Who is Ranki Reddy (Sunil), and what problems does he bring into Rocky’s life? The answers lie in the film.



The Performances



Vishwak Sen delivers yet another settled performance, impressing audiences with his energetic portrayal. His punchlines bring humor and charm to his character. Meenakshi Choudhary and Shraddha Srinath shine in their significant roles, with their chemistry and expressions stealing the spotlight. Their on-screen competition in certain scenes enhances the narrative. Vishwak and Meenakshi's chemistry works well, and their romantic track is engaging. Supporting actors like Sunil, Naresh, and Harsha Vardhan also have impactful roles, with Harsha Chemudu’s comedy bringing occasional laughs.







Direction



Director Raviteja Mullapudi combines a love triangle with a crime thriller, aiming to connect with today’s audience. While the story has strong elements, excessive commercial touches and unnecessary comedy dilute the impact. The first half focuses on character introductions, love tracks, and songs, making it feel somewhat routine and stretched. However, the second half gains momentum, with unexpected twists and turns that elevate the film. The narrative effectively portrays how middle-class dreams can be exploited by others. Had the first half been more engaging, the film could have become a blockbuster.



Technical Aspects



From a technical standpoint, the film excels. Jakes Bejoy’s background score significantly enhances the storytelling. The cinematography is top-notch, capturing the essence of the film’s mood. However, the editing in the first half could have been sharper. The production values are impressive and align well with the film’s tone.

Young director Sujeeth (HBD Sujeeth) has carved a unique niche for himself in Tollywood. Although he has directed only two films so far, he has garnered a craze that many directors achieve only after many more films. Starting with 'Run Raja Run' as a director, Sujeeth caught everyone's attention at the pan-India level with 'Saaho'. Currently, he is directing 'OG' with Pawan Kalyan, capturing the mega fans' focus. Today, this talented director steps into his 34th year. Let's take a look at some secrets of his career.



Making Short Films at 17



Sujeeth Reddy was born in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, on October 26, 1990. Initially dreaming of becoming a Chartered Accountant, his growing interest in films led him to enroll in the L.V. Prasad Film &amp; TV Academy. He started making short films on YouTube at the age of 17 and has directed over 30 short films to date.







Creativity in Short Films



Typically, YouTube short films are made on a low budget and are not expected to meet high standards. However, Sujeeth's films like 'Run Raja Run', 'Prema Ishq Kaadhal', 'Thokkalo Love Story', 'Vesham', 'Yuddham', 'Prema Care of Drama', and 'Indian Idol' surprised the film industry with their richness and showcased his mesmerizing creativity.



        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Sujeeth (@sujeethsign)



Initial Family Resistance



When Sujeeth expressed his desire to become a director, his family was initially reluctant. However, seeing his dedication to cinema, they eventually supported his decision. His mother even bought him his first camera with her own money, marking the beginning of his journey in the industry.







Guidance from Puri Jagannadh



Upon entering the industry with the aim to direct, Sujeeth initially decided to work as an assistant director under Puri Jagannadh. Meeting him, Puri recognized Sujeeth's abundant directorial skills and encouraged him to pursue directing.







Director at 23



While trying for a directorial break, UV Creations recognized Sujeeth's talent and offered him a chance to direct 'Run Raja Run'. Thus, at just 23, Sujeeth became a director and achieved solid success with his debut film.







Turning a Short Film into a Feature



Interestingly, 'Run Raja Run', which brought him significant recognition, was originally a short film that Sujeeth transformed into his first full-length feature by making a few changes to the story.







Before 'Baahubali'



UV Creations, which produced Prabhas's 'Mirchi', planned a second film with him and accepted a story from Sujeeth, which Prabhas liked. However, 'Baahubali' has not been released yet. After 'Baahubali', Prabhas's fame skyrocketed, leading Sujeeth to make adjustments to the story, and thus 'Saaho' was made on a pan-India scale. Despite not achieving expected success, Sujeeth's work at such a young age surprised everyone.



        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Sujeeth (@sujeethsign)



From Fan to Directing Pawan Kalyan



Sujeeth has been a fervent fan of Power Star Pawan Kalyan, mentioning in interviews that he went to see 'Johnny' with a band around his head and kept it for seven days. He also attended 'Gabbar Singh' release as a rally. Rising from that stage to directing Pawan Kalyan in 'OG' is no small feat.







Love for Japanese Cinema



Director Sujeeth has a special affinity for Japanese cinema, which he openly discussed in interviews. He mentioned that Japanese films also influenced 'OG', the film he is currently directing with Pawan Kalyan.

The Boy Who Wore 'Johnny' Headband for 7 Days Now Directs His Icon Pawan Kalyan: Sujeeth's Story


Sangeetha Krish is one of the former star heroines of Tollywood. She has captivated audiences in many films with her beauty, acting, and dance skills. She became popular as a heroine in several superhit films. Currently, she has started her second innings as a character artist and is attracting attention. Today is Sangeetha's birthday, stepping into her 46th year. Let’s delve into some interesting aspects of her life.



Producer’s Family



Born in Chennai on October 21, 1978, her real name is Rasika, which she changed to Sangeetha after entering films. Her grandfather, K.R. Balan, was a prominent producer in the Tamil industry, having produced over 20 films. Her father, Shantharam, also produced several films in Tamil. Sangeetha has been passionate about dance since her childhood, which led her to learn Bharatanatyam during her school days. She made her entry into the film industry with the Malayalam political action thriller 'Gangothri' (1997). Her first Telugu film was 'Circus Sattipandu'.







Recognition through Films



Though she acted in 'Circus Sattipandu' in 1997, she did not get many opportunities in Telugu at that time and shifted her focus to Tamil and Malayalam films. After a gap of two years, she returned to Telugu cinema with the movie 'Asala Sandadi' (1999). Subsequently, she acted in superhit films like 'Khadgam', 'Pellam Oorelithe', 'Khushi Khushiga', 'Sankranthi', and 'Siva Puthrudu', and gained recognition as a leading heroine.







Love Marriage with a Singer



While at the peak of her career, actress Sangeetha got married. She had a love marriage with Tamil star singer Krish. She first saw Krish at an award function and was instantly smitten by his looks as she went on stage to receive an award from him. She connected even more with his attractive speech. Coincidentally, they both ended up at the same dinner with friends that night, where Sangeetha openly expressed her admiration for him. They exchanged numbers, got engaged within three months, and married eight months later. The following year, they attended the award function as a couple.

Second Innings Glory



Despite acting in several hit Telugu films, Sangeetha couldn’t sustain a long-term presence in the industry. It took her 10 years after the 2010 movie 'Cara Majaaka' to act in another Telugu film. She made a comeback in the Telugu industry with Mahesh's 'Sarileru Neekevvaru'. Previously known as a heroine and lead actress, she started her second innings as a character artist. She has acted in films like 'Acharya' (special song), 'Masooda', and 'Vaarasudu' and captured everyone’s attention. Particularly for 'Masood', she even received a SIIMA Award for Best Supporting Actress.







Also a TV Host



In her second innings, Sangeetha is also thriving as a television host. She has served as a judge on Tamil dance shows like Jodi No.1, Dance Jodi Dance, and Super Jodi (Telugu), where she encouraged new dancers and gave appropriate advice. She also participates in festive special shows aired on ETV, captivating the television audience.






HBD Sangeetha: Celebrating Her Journey—Did You Know Her Husband is Krish?"


Cast: Karthi, Aravind Swamy, Srividya, Rajkiran, among others.



Written and Directed by: C. Prem Kumar



Music by: Govind Vasantha



Cinematography: Mahendran Jayaraju



Editing by: R. Govind Raju



Produced by: Jyothika, Suriya



Release Date: 28-09-2024



In the C. Prem Kumar directorial, starring Tamil star hero Karthi who previously delighted audiences with feel-good movies like '96', the film titled 'Meiyazhagan' in Tamil, has been brought to the Telugu audience as 'Satyam Sundaram'. Aravind Swamy plays a pivotal role in this film, which is notably produced under the banner of 2D Entertainment by Suriya and Jyothika. Released today (September 28), how does this film fare? Did it manage to impress the audience? Let's delve into the review.



What's the Story



Satyam (Aravind Swamy), hailing from Guntur, leaves his home and village due to property disputes and relocates to Visakhapatnam. After 30 years, a situation arises requiring him to return to his village for his niece’s wedding. Upon his return, Satyam reconnects with a relative (Karthi) at the wedding. Calling each other 'Bava' (brother-in-law), they bond over numerous conversations. Initially irritated by Karthi’s intrusive manners, Satyam eventually warms up to his affection and admiration. What turns does their journey take? How does Satyam rediscover himself through this journey? What is the nature of his relationship with the person he calls 'Bava'? Does he finally remember his name, or not? That forms the rest of the story.







How Did They Perform



Aravind Swamy perfectly embodies Satyam, taking us along on his journey through his remarkable performance. We feel every emotion that Satyam experiences, from his pain to his discomfort. Karthi charms once again with his innocence, captivating as a typical young man from a village showing boundless love. This role will be remembered as a highlight in Karthi’s career. Devadarshini, playing the wife of Aravind Swamy, delivers a commendable performance. Having previously only played comedic and supporting roles, she proves her ability to handle a role with depth with ease. Srividya, Rajkiran, and Jayaprakash, although in minor roles, significantly impact the story. The rest of the cast performed well within their roles.







Direction



The director, C. Prem Kumar, attempts to convey that for a person to live happily, the presence of a loving individual is as necessary as money and fame. The film starts intriguingly, showing why Satyam left his village. His return for a wedding, the introduction of Karthi’s character, his mischief, and the troubles Satyam faces with Karthi unknowingly, are all portrayed entertainingly. The director shifts the setting to Karthi’s home, where Satyam’s experiences are heartfelt and take the audience back in time. The mental turmoil Satyam goes through upon not recognizing Karthi adds weight to the narrative. The climax is also well-executed. The film, like a beautiful novel, successfully comes to life on screen, directed flawlessly by Kumar. The slow pace of the story and lack of commercial elements could be seen as drawbacks.







Technically



On the technical front, the background music adds an additional layer of allure to the story, with a continual melody that enhances the emotional depth of the narrative. The visuals are captivating, and the production values are high.







Plus Points



- Story and emotions



- Performances by Karthi and Aravind Swamy



- Music



Minus Points



- Slow-paced narrative



- Lack of commercial elements

Wedding bells are set to ring once more in the Akkineni’s house. Tollywood's young hero, Akkineni Naga Chaitanya, is getting ready to marry again following his divorce from star heroine Samantha. He is poised to tie the knot with renowned actress Sobhita Dhulipala. Their engagement recently took place, and photos from the event have gone viral online. While Akkineni fans are ecstatic, some netizens have criticized their union. Let's delve into the details now.



Nagarjuna’s Special Post



Akkineni Nagarjuna announced his son Naga Chaitanya’s engagement himself. He shared the photos on platform X, stating, “My son Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala's engagement took place today at 9:42 AM. I am happy to share this news with all of you.

A Two-Year Romance



The engagement between Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita didn't surprise anyone as there have been rumors of their relationship for some time. Chay and Sobhita have reportedly been dating for the past two years, and their holiday trip photos have widely circulated online, winning the hearts of Akkineni fans. Thus, everyone expected them to eventually marry, and as anticipated, their engagement was celebrated grandly in the presence of friends and relatives.







Divorce with Samantha



It’s well known that Naga Chaitanya was previously married to star heroine Samantha, whom he met during the film 'Ye Maaya Chesave', which blossomed into love. They got married in 2017 and were celebrated as the best couple. However, after four years, conflicts arose, shocking their fans, and in 2021, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha parted ways. Now, each living their separate lives, Chaitanya’s readiness to remarry has delighted Akkineni fans.







Did You Know These About Sobhita?



Sobhita Dhulipala was born in Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, and emerged as the winner of the Femina Miss India title in 2013. She entered the film industry with the Bollywood movie 'Raman Raghav 2.0' in 2016. Following that, she gained recognition with films like 'Chef' and 'KaalaKaandi'. In 2018, Sobhita was introduced to Tollywood through the film 'Goodachari', captivating the Telugu youth audience with her charm. She later played significant roles in 'Major' and 'Ponniyin Selvan 1 &amp; 2', receiving accolades for her performances. Recently, she also starred in the American film 'Monkey Man'. Currently, she is working on a Hindi movie titled 'Sitara', while Naga Chaitanya is busy with 'Thandel', directed by Chandoo Mondeti.







Sobhita is Bolder than Samantha!



There was intense speculation that Samantha’s bold role in 'The Family Man' web series led to their divorce, among other reasons like her item song in the movie 'Pushpa'. However, now Sobhita Dhulipala, who is set to marry Naga Chaitanya, has sparked interest for her on-screen presence, having performed more boldly than Samantha in several scenes. Netizens recall her daring performance in the web series 'Made in Heaven' and her intimate scenes there. She also made a splash in 'The Night Manager' and 'Monkey Man' with bold and intimate scenes. Now, netizens are questioning how Naga Chaitanya, who divorced Samantha for her bold scenes, is set to marry Sobhita, who is known for even bolder roles.

Diwali Gifts For Family: Delight Your Family Members on the Festival Day with These Top Gifts


Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR), one of the foundational pillars of Tollywood, needs no special introduction. Recognized as a Dadasaheb Phalke Award recipient, Padma Vibhushan, and Natasamrat, he left an indelible mark on the industry. Born on September 20, 1924, as his centenary completes today, fans globally are celebrating his 100th birth anniversary. Although widely known as a legendary actor, not everyone is aware that he was also an excellent dancer. In fact, he was the one who introduced dance to Tollywood, a fact that might be unknown to this generation. Let’s delve into this special report to learn more about it.

The Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood



Looking back to the early days of Tollywood, dance was not a primary focus when the industry first began. Leading actors were not keen on dancing; their focus was entirely on how to act and express emotions to captivate the audience. This was particularly noticeable between the 1960s and 1970s. When heroines danced, heroes would often just stand by, a point of criticism at the time. However, Akkineni Nageswara Rao completely changed these dynamics. While many associate Tollywood dance primarily with Megastar Chiranjeevi, it was Nageswara Rao who laid the groundwork for dance in the industry, making it an essential skill for heroes, matching and even excelling alongside heroines in dance. At one point, seeing Nageswara Rao’s dance, contemporaries like Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, Superstar Krishna, Shobhan Babu, and Krishnam Raju also began to emphasize dance in their films.







Audiences Mesmerized by Akkineni's Steps!



In the 1971 film 'Dasara Bullodu', ANR’s performance in the song ‘Ettage Unnadi Olammi’ was mesmerizing. Similarly, in 'Bangaru Babu', his dance to 'Chengavi Rangu Cheera' electrified audiences who, until then, primarily enjoyed songs for their auditory appeal. Specifically, his dance in 'Prem Nagar' for the song ‘Nenu Puttanu Lokam Navvindi’ became a trendsetter. Additionally, his competitive dance with Sridevi in 'Premabhishekam' for the song 'Ne Kallu Chebuthunnayi' delighted everyone. He also matched steps with Megastar Chiranjeevi in the film 'Mechanic Alludu'. There’s a long list of such performances, some of which are linked below for a glimpse into his prowess.

Inspired by Nageswara Rao...



Even Megastar Chiranjeevi, known for his dance, was inspired by Nageswara Rao at one point. It’s said that Chiru enhanced the importance of dance in films after watching Nageswara Rao’s movies. In an event, Chiranjeevi made interesting remarks about ANR's influence, noting that after watching Chiru’s dance, one might wonder if his body actually had any bones at all. Over the decades, as Chiranjeevi became a peerless hero in acting and dancing, he carried forward the legacy initiated by Nageswara Rao, which now continues with stars like Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, NTR, and Ram Pothineni.

Interesting Post by Balakrishna



On the occasion of ANR's 100th birth anniversary, actor Balakrishna posted a touching tribute, expressing pride in remembering Nageswara Rao. He noted that ANR's iconic roles and invaluable contributions to Telugu cinema are unforgettable and serve as a guiding light to all actors. Balakrishna urged everyone to express their gratitude for the immense services ANR provided to the film industry, from theater to cinema. His journey is an inspiration to all.

ANR 100th Birth Anniversary: Celebrating Akkineni Nageswara Rao, the Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood


Creative director Krishna Vamsi once meant a festive atmosphere in theaters with his films. Throughout his career, he has directed many super hit films, among which Anthahpuram stands as a milestone. In this film, the late actress Soundarya played the female lead, captivating audiences with her performance, which garnered widespread acclaim. Currently, Krishna Vamsi is quite active on platform X, engaging intriguingly with netizens' questions. During this interaction, when asked by a netizen which current actress could replace Soundarya in Anthahpuram, Krishna Vamsi's response has gone viral.



What did Krishna Vamsi say?



The film Anthahpuram, featuring Soundarya, Sai Kumar, Prakash Raj, and Jagapathi Babu, was a massive success at the box office. Soundarya delivered an outstanding performance as a mother protecting her child from her cruel uncle. When a netizen on X asked Krishna Vamsi which of today’s actresses could fit into Anthahpuram, he replied, "I can’t imagine anyone replacing Soundarya. However, today's actresses are very talented and mesmerizing with their performances. I respect them." The netizen then queried whether Nivetha Thomas or Shraddha Kapoor would be suitable, to which Krishna Vamsi opined that Samantha and Sai Pallavi could be perfect for Soundarya’s role. This post is now trending wildly online, with fans of Samantha and Sai Pallavi making it go viral.







Can They Replace Soundarya?



Star heroine Samantha is recognized not only as a glamour beauty but also as a talented actress. She won an award for Best Actress with her first film, 'Ye Maaya Chesave'. Following that, she proved her acting skills in films like 'Manam', 'A Aa', 'U Turn', 'Jaanu', 'Yashoda', 'Shaakuntalam', and 'Oh! Baby'. Sai Pallavi's acting skills need no special mention. With films like Premam, Fidaa, Love Story, Shyam Singha Roy, Virata Parvam, and Gargi, she has demonstrated unmatched acting prowess. Netizens believe these star heroines could do justice to Soundarya’s role in Anthahpuram.







Director with Two National Awards



Director Krishna Vamsi, originally Pasupuleti Venkata Bangarraju, started his career as an assistant director under Ram Gopal Varma. He made his directorial debut in 1995 with the film 'Gulabi', starring JD Chakravarthy. He directed successful films like 'Anthahpuram', 'Chandrallekha', 'Ninne Pelladutha', Murari, Khadgam, Sri Anjaneyam, Rakhi, Chandamama, and Mahatma. Recently, he directed 'Rangamarthanda', a film that touched the hearts of audiences. Throughout his career, Krishna Vamsi has received two National Film Awards, three Filmfare Awards South, and four Nandi Awards.






Krishna Vamsi Sparks Debate: Can Samantha or Sai Pallavi Match Soundarya’s Iconic Role in 'Anthahpuram'?


Rumors have been circulating for some time now about tensions between the Allu and Mega families, who were once as close as milk and water. The controversy supposedly began when Bunny supported a YSRCP candidate and even campaigned against Pawan Kalyan during the AP elections. Since then, social media has become a battleground for Allu Army and Mega fans, who have been at each other’s throats. Recently, Pawan Kalyan indirectly criticized the movie "Pushpa," which only added fuel to the fire. In this ongoing feud, Allu Arjun’s recent comments have become a hot topic in the industry and have sparked another round of fan wars on social media. The rumors have gained traction again, suggesting that the rift between the two families is growing. Netizens are beginning to suspect that the relationship between the two families might have reached a breaking point.



I’ll Come If I Like It



Allu Arjun was the chief guest at the pre-release event of the movie "Maruti Nagar Subrahmanyam," starring Rao Ramesh in a pivotal role. Director Sukumar and Allu Arjun attended the event, and the movie was presented by Sukumar's wife, Tabitha. During the event, Allu Arjun made some interesting remarks, which were seen as indirect jabs at the Mega family and their fans. He said, "Maruti Nagar Subrahmanyam is being presented by Sukumar's wife, Tabitha. While we were in the middle of the Pushpa 2 climax shoot, she came and asked Sukumar, 'If not you, who else should I invite to my movie event?' Despite being in the most challenging climax I’ve ever done, I came because she invited me. You have to show love for those you care about. If I like it, I’ll come. If my heart tells me, I’ll come." These comments quickly went viral online. People began to speculate that Bunny, who campaigned for a YSRCP candidate, could have done the same for Pawan Kalyan, which was his way of responding.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1826302303244091491




"I’m Crazy About My Fans"



At the same pre-release event, Bunny spoke highly of his fans, the Allu Army. "My dear fans, my Army, I love you. I’m crazy about my fans. Many people become fans after seeing a hero. I became a hero after seeing my fans. Even though it’s been three years since my last movie, your love hasn’t diminished at all. I’ll forever be indebted to you. I won’t trouble you anymore. I’ll definitely make more movies and be on screen more often," he said. However, Bunny had never spoken about his fans with such passion before. Since supporting a YSRCP leader, he has been heavily targeted by Jana Sena followers and Mega fans alike, who have trolled him mercilessly on social media. During that time, the Allu Army stood by their hero and fought back valiantly, countering every criticism. Given this, Bunny may have been expressing his gratitude to his fans in his own style. Another point worth noting in Bunny's speech is that, unlike before, he specifically mentioned the Allu Army instead of addressing both Mega fans and the Allu Army together. This has led to accusations that Bunny is encouraging divisions among Mega fans.







Simple Wishes for Chiru!



Today (August 22), Mega fans are celebrating Megastar Chiranjeevi’s birthday with great enthusiasm. Fans are extending their warm wishes to the hero who has remained at the top in Telugu cinema for almost 30 years. Allu Arjun also wished the Megastar a happy birthday. However, his simple birthday wishes to the person who gave him his life have drawn criticism. Mega fans have expressed strong objections to this. Responding to X, Bunny posted, "Many happy returns of the day to our Megastar Chiranjeevi Garu." However, in the past, Bunny never posted such a simple tweet. Bunny, who usually goes all out for Chiru’s birthday, offering just simple wishes this time has led netizens to believe that the ongoing conflict between the two families might be the reason behind it.

Pawan’s Indirect Digs at Bunny!



Recently, AP Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan visited Karnataka and made some intriguing comments during a press meet. He remarked that 40 years ago, heroes in movies protected the forests, but now, heroes are seen cutting down trees and engaging in smuggling. Pawan Kalyan's comments went viral in Tollywood, and many speculated that he was referring to the movie "Pushpa," starring Allu Arjun. This sparked a major fan war between Jana Sena followers, Mega fans, and the Allu Army on social media.






How was the movie?
