Cast: Soubin Shahir, Ganapathi, Khalid Rahman, Sreenath Bhasi, George Maryan, Lal Jr, and others Director: Chidambaram Music: Sushin Shyam Cinematography: Shaiju Khalid Production House: Mythri Movie Makers (Telugu Dubbing) Release Date: 06-04-2024 Recently released in Malayalam and creating a sensation, the film 'Manjummel Boys' arrives in Telugu with the same name. Produced on a modest budget of Rs. 20 crores, this survival thriller astonishingly garnered over Rs. 200 crores, becoming an industry hit. Now, brought to the Telugu audience by the renowned production house Mythri Movie Makers, does the film captivate Telugu viewers as well? Will it achieve massive collections here too? Let’s delve into the plot of the film. What's the Story? Hailing from Kochi, Kerala, Kuttan (Soubin Shahir), Subhash (Sreenath Bhasi), and their friends, known collectively as Manjummel Boys, embark on a trip to Kodaikanal to visit the Gun Caves. While enjoying their time, Subhash accidentally falls into the dangerously deep Devil's Kitchen cave, over 150 feet below. What happens next? How did his friends attempt to rescue Subhash? Why did the police turn against them? Why did Kuttan enter the cave alone to save Subhash? Did both of them survive? That forms the story. Performances As Kuttan, Soubin Shahir along with the rest of the friend group delivered natural performances. They convincingly portrayed both joyous and tense moments, making the audience feel as if they were watching a real group of friends. The expressions of Shahir and Subhash while stuck in the cave add a layer of realism, making viewers wonder if it’s all actually happening. Every actor fulfilled their role effectively. Direction Based on a real incident that occurred in Gun Caves in 2006, director Chidambaram crafted this film to engage audiences thoroughly. The narrative keeps viewers feeling as though they're trapped within the cave alongside the characters, without ever letting the suspense drop. Even before the main plot unfolds, the director ensures that the antics of the Manjummel gang keep the audience entertained. The story becomes gripping once Subhash falls into the cave, and the episode of Kuttan’s descent into the cave to save Subhash is portrayed engagingly. A twist when Kuttan reaches Subhash keeps the audience on the edge of their seats, though some scenes may feel dragged. The director concluded the film with an impactful ending. Technically On the technical front, cinematographer Shaiju Khalid deserves special mention after the director and cast for his exceptional work. He magnificently captured the cave setup, making the audience feel the claustrophobic cave atmosphere through his lens. The background score elevated the emotional scenes significantly, adding depth to the film. Production values were apt for the film’s scale. Plus Points - Engaging storyline - Thrilling second half - Cinematography and background music Minus Points - Some parts of the narrative felt slow Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3.5/5

Kaatera OTT: The Kannada Blockbuster That Gave Tough Competition to 'Salaar' Now in Telugu

Regardless of language, Telugu audiences embrace movies with good content. This has led to the release of numerous films from Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam industries in Telugu, both in theaters and on OTT platforms. For instance, Malayalam films like 'Premam' and 'Manjummel Boys' have also become hits in Telugu. Recently, the Kannada blockbuster 'Kaatera' was released in Telugu and is now available on OTT. What is the story of this movie? Where is it streaming? Let's find out. Where is Streaming? Last year, the Kannada film 'Kaatera' was released as a competitor to Prabhas's 'Salaar' and garnered significant acclaim. Directed by Tarun Sudhir, with Darshan as the lead and Aradhana Ram as the heroine, this film rained collections at the box office. It has been released on the major OTT platform Zee5 in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, and Malayalam. Originally, the Kannada version of the movie started streaming on Zee5 from February 9. The buzz created around this film nationwide sparked interest from speakers of other languages too. Consequently, Zee5 has now released the film in Hindi and other South Indian languages as well. Struggle Against Caste Discrimination Director Tarun Sudhir skillfully crafted this movie, intertwining a beautiful love story with land reforms and caste discrimination. Particularly, the film showcases the intense caste discrimination prevalent in society during the 1970s. Upper castes treating lower castes as untouchables is vividly portrayed for the current generation. Especially through certain scenes and dialogues, the director reveals how difficult life was for some communities back then. The dialogues specifically targeting caste discrimination will make everyone think. However, there were criticisms at that time accusing the director of targeting a particular upper caste intentionally. Minted money at the Box Office Set against the backdrop of the 1970s, this periodic action entertainer brought a shower of collections at the box office, running to full houses for many days. This movie grossed over ₹64.05 crores, proving its mettle in the Kannada industry. This film gave a tough competition to Prabhas’s movie ‘Salaar’ in Kannada. With the Telugu version now available, OTT audiences are eager to watch this film. Story? Kaatera (Darshan), serving a jail sentence for killing a landlord named Devaraya, is released on parole. Many attempts are made to kill Kaatera after his release. Who are they? Why was Kaatera in jail for working as a blacksmith in the village of Bhimanhalli? How did Prabhavathi (Aaradhana Ram), who married Kaatera opposing the elders, die? How did Kaatera and Prabhavathi fight to secure land rights for the farmers who had been cultivating in Bhimanhalli for many years? That is the story. Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3.5/5

Family Star: Censor Board's Shock to 'Family Star'!

Featuring Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur, and directed by Parasuram Petla under the production of Dil Raju, the film 'Family Star' is scheduled for release in just two days (April 5). The successful duo of Vijay and Parasuram, known for their hit 'Geetha Govindam', has sparked considerable anticipation. Having recently cleared its censor formalities, the film has also made a notable impact with its pre-release business. Here are the details. How Much is the Pre-Release Business? 'Family Star,' eagerly awaited by audiences, has performed impressively in its pre-release business, securing a total of Rs. 43 crores for its worldwide theatrical rights. Breakdown by regions shows that in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana together, the film garnered Rs. 34.50 crores—specifically, Rs. 13 crores from Telangana (Nizam), Rs. 4.5 crores from Rayalaseema (Ceded), and Rs. 17 crores from AP. Moreover, the combined sales from Karnataka and the rest of India stood at Rs. 3 crores, while the overseas market contributed Rs. 5.5 crores. This accumulation of Rs.43 crores, as reported by trade analysts, sets the film's break-even target at Rs.44 crores. Censor Board's Jolt! 'Family Star' has recently completed its censor formalities. The censor board issued a U/A certificate and fixed the run time at 2 hours and 43 minutes. However, it's reported that the board suggested muting four dialogues in the movie. It's understood that there are no deleted scenes in the movie, but during a song featuring liquor bottles, the labels were asked to be blurred out by the censor board. Apart from these, there are no significant objectionable scenes in the film. Tough Competition from These Films! Despite being a star hero’s film, 'Family Star' faces stiff competition from two movies. One is 'Tillu Square', and the other is the Malayalam blockbuster 'Manjummel Boys'. 'Tillu Square', released last Friday, is running successfully with super hit talk and is expected to continue drawing good collections into the weekend. It has a good chance of receiving favorable audience response in its second week as well. On the other hand, 'Manjummel Boys', which stood as an industry hit in Malayalam, is releasing on April 6. Telugu audiences are eagerly waiting to watch this movie, which created minted collections. It will be interesting to see how 'Family Star' performs against these two contenders.
