Cast: Manchu Lakshmi, Aditya Om, Esther Norhana, Suhasini, Srijita Ghosh, Shiva Kanthamneni, Venkat Kiran, Satya Prakash, Sammeta Gandhi, Gemini Suresh, Delhi Rajeshwari, Harry Josh, Jabardasth Gaddam Naveen, and others.



Written and Directed by: Sanjeev Megoti&nbsp;&nbsp;



Music: Madhavi Saib&nbsp;&nbsp;



Cinematography: S.N. Harish&nbsp;&nbsp;



Editing: Pavan Shekhar Pasupuleti&nbsp;&nbsp;



Production Companies: Anvika Arts, AI (America India) Entertainment&nbsp;&nbsp;



Movies like ‘Ammoru’ and ‘Arundhati’ set a high bar in the Telugu fantasy genre. Since Arundhati, there hasn’t been a fantasy drama with a similar impact in Tollywood. Now, 'Adiparvam,' starring Manchu Lakshmi and directed by Sanjeev Megoti, steps into that genre. With Aditya Om, Ester, and Suhasini in key roles, the film has just been released. Let’s see if ‘Adiparvam’ meets the expectations and if Manchu Lakshmi has delivered a memorable performance.







Plot



Locals near the Erragudi temple in Kadapa believe hidden treasures lie within it. They think that whoever claims these treasures will become the wealthiest person in Rayalaseema. Nagamma (Manchu Lakshmi), an MLA, is determined to acquire it by any means, even turning to dark powers. Meanwhile, Rayappa, a village elder, also wants the treasure. How far will Rayappa and Nagamma go to obtain this wealth? Why does Rayappa want to sacrifice his own daughter Bujamma (Srijita)? Why does Nagamma want her dead too? How does the village deity Maremma (Suhasini) intervene to stop their wicked ways? Does Nagamma ultimately fulfill her desire for the treasure? And what happens to the love story of Bujamma and Srinu (Venkat Kiran)? This is the crux of the story.







Performance 







Direction



Sanjeev Megoti based this movie on real events that occurred between 1974 and 1990. The story highlights the extremes people go to for personal gain, even contemplating the sacrifice of their own children. The sequences showing the consequences faced by the selfish characters pursuing the treasure are captivating. The portrayal of Maremma’s protection of the sacred treasure and her support for the faithful are well-executed. The conflict between divine and dark powers is engaging, and the director also depicts the love story of Bujamma and Srinu well. However, the predictable storyline, exaggerated drama, and lack of quality in the graphics weaken the movie. 







Technical Aspects



On the technical side (Adiparvam Movie Review), the cinematography by Harish is commendable, with well-captured visuals. The music adds depth, with the background score enhancing scenes significantly. The editing could have been tighter, especially in the first half, and the graphics quality could have been better. The production values are strong.







Positives



- Manchu Lakshmi’s performance&nbsp;&nbsp;



- Battle between divine and evil powers&nbsp;&nbsp;



- Cinematography&nbsp;&nbsp;



Negatives



- Predictable storyline&nbsp;&nbsp;



- Low-quality graphics&nbsp;&nbsp;



- Slow-paced scenes&nbsp;&nbsp;

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan (Pawan Kalyan), the leader of Jana Sena, has achieved unprecedented success in Andhra Pradesh elections. Leading the alliance, he secured victories for 21 MLA candidates and 2 MPs, achieving a 100% strike rate and becoming the first politician in India to accomplish this feat. Currently serving as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan tirelessly works for the welfare of the people. Meanwhile, he has repeated his success in the recently concluded Maharashtra elections, again achieving a 100% strike rate. His name is now resonating across Maharashtra and the entire nation.



How Did the 100% Strike Rate Happen?



The BJP-led ‘Mahayuti’ alliance achieved a grand victory in the Maharashtra elections. In the results announced today (November 22), the alliance won 230 out of 288 assembly seats. Recently, Pawan Kalyan campaigned in Maharashtra, urging voters to support the BJP and the Mahayuti alliance to protect Sanatan Dharma. He conducted whirlwind campaigns in constituencies with a significant Telugu population, such as Pune, Ballarshah, Sholapur, Deglur, and Latur. Remarkably, all the constituencies where Pawan campaigned saw the BJP alliance winning decisively. This has led Jana Sena supporters and Pawan fans to celebrate his 100% strike rate on social media.

Neha Sharma's Journey: From Telugu Stardom to Bollywood's Glamour – 36 Facts on Her 36th Birthday!


After a decade into politics, Powerstar Pawan Kalyan achieved a significant victory in the 2024 Assembly elections. However, in the previous elections, representing the Jana Sena Party, he lost both constituencies he contested. The only MLA he managed to win later joined the ruling YSRCP government. This prompted fierce criticism from YSRCP leaders targeting Pawan. He also faced severe criticism from the Telugu film industry, especially from director Ram Gopal Varma and actor Posani Krishna Murali, who heavily targeted him. RGV even made a film trolling Pawan. With the coalition government (TDP-Jana Sena-BJP) in power in Andhra Pradesh and Pawan as the Deputy Chief Minister, it looks like some action may be taken on RGV and Posani, who were vocal critics.



Serial Cases Against RGV



On today's date (November 11), a case was filed against film director Ram Gopal Varma at Maddipadu Police Station in Prakasam District under the IT Act. He posted material during the promotion of the movie 'Vyuhm' that allegedly denigrated Nara Chandrababu Naidu, Nara Lokesh, Nara Brahmani, and Pawan Kalyan. The Telugu Desam Party's main secretary from Maddipadu Mandal lodged the complaint. Police registered the case and are conducting an investigation. Similarly, a case was also filed against RGV at Talluru Police Station in Guntur District for making indecent posts about Chandrababu, Pawan Kalyan, and Nara Lokesh. The vice president of the TDP's Farmers Division, Nutalapati Ramarao, filed a complaint today urging action against Varma. Consequently, Tuluru police also registered a case against RGV, who may soon be investigated.







Imminent Arrest of Posani!



Actor Posani Krishna Murali, known for his successful multiple roles in films, joined YSRCP after its establishment and campaigned for Jagan during the 2019 elections. After Jagan became Chief Minister, Posani was even more vocal than YSRCP leaders in targeting Pawan and Chandrababu. He faced accusations of character assassination in several press meets. Posani previously lashed out calling Pawan a mental case and alleging that the Mega family only formed parties for financial gains. He fiercely criticized them, leading to multiple lawsuits filed by Jana Sena supporters and women's groups, which were ignored while YSRCP was in power. Now, with the coalition government in office and revisiting old cases against those who insulted TDP and Jana Sena leaders, there's talk in AP political circles that Posani might be arrested any moment.







Preparations for Sri Reddy's Arrest!



Actress Sri Reddy, known for her support of YSRCP, had previously criticized TDP and Jana Sena leaders in her unique style during the last government's tenure. There were instances when she even insulted Pawan Kalyan's mother. With AP police now focusing on those who have engaged in character assassination on social media, Sri Reddy is also likely to be taken into custody soon. Various cases registered against her in different regions are being reviewed by the police. Recently, the actress released a video apologizing and requesting forgiveness from Chandrababu, Pawan Kalyan, and Home Minister Anita, pledging not to post any offensive content about them or their family members anymore. The video has become quite trending lately.







Will Actions Be Taken Against Prakash Raj?



Recently, a controversy erupted between Pawan Kalyan and Prakash Raj over comments related to Tirumala laddus and Sanatan Dharma. While Pawan spoke about Sanatan Dharma, Prakash Raj posed several questions on the same platform without directly naming him, using the hashtag #JustAsking. Pawan largely ignored these comments. However, Jana Sena workers and Pawan's fans are highly agitated over Prakash Raj's unrelated criticisms and are demanding action against him on social media. Currently, the AP police are revisiting old cases, and since no cases have been registered against Prakash Raj in any station, it's speculated that he might not face immediate actions.

Tragic Loss for Rajendra Prasad: Daughter Gayatri's Sudden Death Leaves the Film Industry in Shock


For quite some time, there has been significant buzz about conflicts between Allu Arjun and the Mega family. The recent comments made by Varun Tej during the promotions of Matka have further fueled these speculations. Allu Arjun publicly supporting a political figure from Pawan Kalyan’s rival party during the Andhra Pradesh elections became the focal point of these disputes. Since then, Mega fans and Allu Army have been clashing on social media. Many film veterans and political analysts have also opined that Allu Arjun's actions were not appropriate. Amidst this ongoing controversy, Allu Arjun recently thanked the same YSRCP leader, which has led to claims that Bunny intentionally provoked Mega fans.



What Exactly Happened?



Icon Star Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 is set to release worldwide in two weeks. Directed by Sukumar, this film is eagerly awaited by audiences across the nation. Recently, the trailer of the movie was released, receiving tremendous response from viewers. In this context, former Nandyal MLA Silpa Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy expressed his excitement about the film. He posted on X, stating that he couldn’t wait to witness the “wildfire” in theaters and wished the team all the best. Responding to this, Allu Arjun replied, “Thank you, brother. Grateful for your love.” This post has since gone viral.

Did Bunny Provoke Mega Fans?



Before DJ: Duvvada Jagannadham, Bunny frequently praised Pawan Kalyan and Megastar Chiranjeevi at his film events, showering them with compliments. However, during the promotions of DJ, he shocked Mega fans by saying “Cheppanu Brother” when asked about Pawan Kalyan. Following this, negative propaganda against DJ began circulating. Later, during the Andhra Pradesh elections, Bunny’s support for YSRCP candidate Silpa Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy, including his personal visit to Nandyal urging people to vote for him, was deeply resented by Mega fans and Jana Sena supporters. They began trolling Bunny heavily on social media, a trend that continues to this day. Meanwhile, Allu Army has also been giving strong counters to these attacks. With Bunny thanking Silpa Ravi Reddy again, there are speculations that this act was meant to provoke Mega fans. However, Bunny’s fans defend him, stating that he merely replied to Silpa Ravi Reddy’s post.







How Did the Friendship with the YSRCP Leader Begin?



Nandyal YSRCP candidate Silpa Ravi’s wife, Nagini Reddy, and Allu Arjun’s wife, Sneha Reddy, were classmates. This connection led to Bunny and Silpa Ravi becoming acquaintances and later friends. During the 2019 elections, Bunny wished Silpa Ravi “all the best” via Twitter, and Silpa won with a huge majority. This time, as Silpa Ravi represented YSRCP again, Bunny actively supported him. While Bunny limited his support for his uncle Pawan Kalyan to a single tweet, his direct campaign for a rival party candidate became a hot topic in political circles. Eventually, in Nandyal, TDP candidate Farooq contested on behalf of the alliance and won by a massive majority.







Exciting Update on the Item Song!



It is well known that dancing queen Sreeleela performed the item song Kissik in Pushpa 2. There’s a buzz online that the lyrical version of this special song will release on November 23, with an official announcement expected soon. According to industry talk, Allu Arjun and Sreeleela’s dance moves in this song are electrifying. Rumor has it that Sreeleela was paid a whopping ₹2 crore for this song. Bunny’s fans are optimistic that Kissik will surpass the popularity of Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava from Pushpa.







Garikapati Fires on Bunny



As the release of Pushpa 2 approaches, a new controversy has emerged on social media. Comments made by prominent preacher Garikapati Narasimha Rao about Pushpa back in 2021 are resurfacing. Garikapati criticized the film, stating that movies like Pushpa are harmful to society. In the resurfaced video, Garikapati remarks, “How appropriate is it to portray a red sandalwood smuggler as a hero? The entire movie glorifies smuggling, with the message ‘wait for the next part to see the redemption.’ Meanwhile, society deteriorates. A smuggler saying ‘Taggede Le’ (I won’t back down) is unacceptable. Phrases like ‘Taggede Le’ should be reserved for figures like Harishchandra or Lord Rama, not smugglers.” His statements are once again sparking debates.

She recently appeared in front of the media for the first time during the season 4 launch press meet, where she showered praise on her father.

Akhanda 2: Balayya - Boyapati's Mass Tandav Begins.


Icon Star Allu Arjun and director Sukumar's much-anticipated movie "Pushpa 2: The Rule" is currently shooting at a brisk pace and is set to hit theaters on December 6. Allu Arjun's fans are eagerly awaiting this date. With no other major releases scheduled for the first week of December, it is expected that "Pushpa 2" will dominate the box office. However, it seems that Nandamuri Balakrishna will provide strong competition to Bunny's film. A box office clash between Balayya and Bunny appears imminent.



Pushpa 2 vs NBK 109!



Nandamuri Balakrishna is working on an action entertainer with director Bobby. Known by its working title 'NBK 109,' this movie is also progressing rapidly. Initially, the makers planned to release the movie as a Sankranthi treat. However, recent buzz suggests they plan to release it a month earlier, on December 2, and preparations are underway. An official announcement may soon confirm this. If this happens, the box office clash between Allu Arjun and Nandamuri Balakrishna is set to be intriguing.







Akhanda Sentiment!



Balakrishna is also driven by a sentiment to release his film in the first week of December. His movie "Akhanda," released three years ago on December 2, was a blockbuster. Makers strongly believe that releasing 'NBK 109' on the same date will replicate that success. Meanwhile, Megastar Chiranjeevi's "Vishwambhara" is slated for a grand release on January 10, along with Venkatesh - Anil Ravipudi's film, Ajith's "Good Bad Ugly," and "Shatamanam Bhavati 2," all set for Sankranthi. Hence, 'NBK 109' might have to opt for an earlier release date.







Balakrishna’s Golden Jubilee Celebration



Nandamuri Balakrishna is celebrating 50 years in the cinema industry. A grand golden jubilee celebration is planned by Tollywood on September 1 in Hyderabad. The event invitations are being distributed jointly by the TFPC, TFCC, and MAA Association to prominent actors. Recently, Stylish Star Allu Arjun received his invitation. Earlier, invitations were also sent to Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Pawan Kalyan, and actors from Tamil and Kannada industries like Vijay Sethupathi, Siva Karthikeyan, and Shiva Rajkumar.







Balayya... Unstoppable



Nandamuri Balakrishna has been unstoppable in the industry for the past 50 years, acting in 109 films. Interestingly, he has worked with 129 heroines across these films. His movies span various genres, including social, mythological, folklore, biopics, science fiction, and period dramas. Balakrishna has also made a successful foray into politics, winning elections as an MLA three times. For 25 years, he has served as the chairman of the Basavatarakam Cancer Hospital, earning a reputation as a lifesaver for many.






How was the movie?
