      Vijay's 'The Goat' Nears ₹300 Crore Mark with Impressive Box Office Performance
      Vijay's 'The Goat' Nears ₹300 Crore Mark with Impressive Box Office Performance
      Tamil star hero Vijay stars in the latest action thriller "The Goat" (The Greatest Of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. Meenakshi Chaudhary is the heroine, with Sneha, Laila, Prashanth, and Prabhudeva playing key roles. The film, featuring de-aging technology, marks Vijay's last movie before his rumoured entry into politics, which has spiked expectations. However, it was released worldwide on Thursday, September 5. In Telugu-speaking regions, the film received mixed reviews, whereas in Tamil Nadu, it particularly captivated Vijay's fanbase and garnered a hit talk. On its first day, the movie grossed over Rs. 120 crore. Now, let’s see how the weekend collections shaped up. How Much Did The Weekend Collections Amount To? Vijay’s "The Goat" (The Greatest Of All Time) lived up to expectations at the box office, grossing Rs. 282.5 crore worldwide in the first four days, narrowly missing the Rs. 300 crore club. However, it set a record as the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. Dhanush's recent film 'Raayan' crossed lifetime gross earnings of Rs. 154 crore within the first two days and set this feat. Notably, 'The Goat' grossed Rs. 106.40 crore in Tamil Nadu alone. In the two Telugu-speaking states, it collected Rs. 10.10 crore, Rs. 21.1 crore in Karnataka, Rs. 10.4 crore in Kerala, and Rs. 13.9 crore in the rest of India. Overseas, the film fetched around Rs. 120.15 crore according to trade estimates. Currently, the film is surging towards the Rs. 300 crore club. What’s The Film Like? Director Venkat Prabhu’s storyline doesn’t bring anything new to the table. Movies featuring a hero working in defense and the villain raising the hero’s son only to turn him against his father have been quite common. However, the scenes written about the son’s revenge seem interesting. The first half is mostly spent introducing the hero and other characters, with the story unfolding predictably until the pre-interval. The interval scene sets up an intriguing second half. Though the second half also largely unfolds as expected, the director successfully crafted an engaging climax. The twists in the second half will surprise the audience. The film’s comedy and dialogues are deeply infused with Tamil elements, which might not appeal as much to the Telugu audience. However, for Vijay's fans, this film is sure to be a treat. What's the Story? Gandhi (Vijay), a special anti-terrorism squad officer, conducts various successful missions with his teammates Sunil (Prashant), Ajay (Ajmal), and Kalyan Sundaram (Prabhu Deva). However, he keeps his job a secret from his wife Anu (Sneha). During one mission abroad, his five-year-old son dies. Believing her husband to be responsible, Anu distances herself from Gandhi. Distraught, Gandhi leaves the force. Years later, on a trip to Moscow, he encounters his son Jeevan (Vijay), whom he thought was dead, alive. Overjoyed, he brings him back to India. From then on, Gandhi’s acquaintances start dying one by one. Who is responsible for these deaths? How did his presumed-dead son come back? How does Gandhi stop the killings? These questions form the crux of the story.

      Nikhil's 'Appudo Ippudo Eppudo' Review: A London Love Story That Misses Its Mark
      Nikhil's 'Appudo Ippudo Eppudo' Review: A London Love Story That Misses Its Mark
      Cast: Nikhil, Divyansha Kaushik, Satya, Ajay, Sai Ram Reddy, Rukmini Vasanth, Harsha Chemudu, and others Writer, Director: Sudheer Varma Music: Karthik Cinematography: Richard Prasad Editing: Naveen Nooli Producer: B.V.S.N. Prasad Release Date: November 8, 2024 The latest film ‘Appudo Ippudo Eppudo’ features young hero Nikhil, directed by Sudheer Varma, known for films like ‘Swamy Ra Ra’ and ‘Keshava.’ Produced by B.V.S.N. Prasad and presented by B. Bapineedu, Rukmini Vasanth plays the lead actress, with Divyansha Kaushik in a key role. The film hit theaters on November 8. How does it fare? Does it captivate the Telugu audience? Has it brought success to Nikhil? Let’s find out in this review. Story Rishi (Nikhil), from Hyderabad, is a carefree young man with little interest in his career. He falls for Tara (Rukmini Vasanth) at first sight. However, due to certain dramatic events, their love ends in a breakup. After the heartbreak, Rishi shifts his focus to his career and moves to London. There, he trains as a racer while taking up odd jobs for pocket money. During this time, he becomes close to Tulasi (Divyansha Kaushik) and even decides to marry her. But Tulasi suddenly goes missing. Meanwhile, Tara, the girl he once loved, unexpectedly shows up in London, and Rishi finds himself entangled with a local don, Badrinarayana (John Vijay). Who is Badrinarayana? What happened to Tulasi? Why did Tara come to London? To find out, you’ll have to watch the movie. Performances Hero Nikhil captivates as usual with his steady performance, entertaining the audience with his looks and comic timing, though there are no particularly striking moments in his role. Rukmini Vasanth impresses with her natural acting, skillfully expressing emotions and proving herself as a talented actress once again. Divyansha Kaushik shines in her role as Tulasi, a character with negative shades, and receives good marks for her looks and glamour. Comedian Harsha Chemudu’s timing brings laughs, while John Vijay and Ajay’s roles are average. Satya and Sudarshan add momentum to the storyline. Direction Director Sudheer Varma opted for a routine story for ‘Appudo Ippudo Eppudo’ but managed to infuse his mark through storytelling and screenplay. Notably, he introduces the story from the perspective of a third person (comedian Satya), which adds interest. However, the two love tracks between the hero and heroines feel tedious. The introduction of the hero and his first love track make the first half feel slow, while the second half is somewhat better. The director struggles with key scenes, and the twists reveal poorly. Nevertheless, he manages to keep the film afloat to some extent with the comedy of Harsha Chemudu, Satya, and Sudarshan. The film lacks commercial appeal, and weak action sequences are additional drawbacks. Technically In terms of technical work, Richard Prasad’s cinematography is good, while Karthik’s songs are average. The background score is passable, editing is adequate, and the production values match the story well.

      Devara Box Office Rampage: Jr NTR’s Latest Film Nears ₹500 Crore Mark in Just 10 Days!
      Devara Box Office Rampage: Jr NTR’s Latest Film Nears ₹500 Crore Mark in Just 10 Days!
      The recent film featuring Jr NTR and directed by Koratala Siva, 'Devara: Part 1,' released worldwide on September 27, has secured a solid victory at the box office. Despite mixed initial reviews, the film showed remarkable strength in its collections, setting records from the very first day. Having completed 10 days since its release, the producers have officially announced the collections, and the figures have left everyone astounded, commenting on the unrelenting rampage of Devara. [toc] Approaching ₹500 Crore... In 'Devara,' Tarak was paired with Janhvi Kapoor, and Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan played the villain. In terms of collections, the film has grossed ₹466 crore worldwide within these 10 days. The makers have released a special poster to announce this achievement. With blockbuster collections, the movie continues to perform well in theaters. In the Telugu states alone, the film grossed ₹193.55 crore, with Karnataka contributing ₹16.40 crore, Tamil Nadu ₹4 crore, Kerala ₹92 lakhs, and the rest of India, including Hindi regions, adding ₹29.80 crore. If this momentum continues, Devara is likely to hit the ₹500 crore mark over this weekend. First Day and Weekend Collections The Devara movie, starring NTR and Janhvi Kapoor, grossed over ₹172 crore on its opening day. It collected approximately ₹83.71 crore in the two Telugu states alone, making it the second film to achieve such high collections after 'RRR'. By the end of the first weekend, Devara had already reached the ₹300 crore mark, with a total of ₹304 crore grossed in just three days. Although collections gradually decreased thereafter, the film still managed to turn profitable for the distributors. With no major releases last week, Devara faced no significant competition this weekend, likely easing its path to the ₹500 crore mark. Profits from Sunday By the end of the second Saturday (September 5) shows, Devara had crossed the break-even point in almost all areas. From Sunday onwards, all collections are profits. The Dussehra holidays and the lack of other major releases provide a big advantage for Devara. The film's collections are also stable overseas. According to trade circles, Devara has started making profits in many regions including Kerala, Karnataka, Hindi-speaking areas, and the rest of India. This has brought immense joy to both the Devara team and Tarak's fans. Telugu Films That Crossed ₹500 Crore Several films from Tollywood have already grossed over ₹500 crore. What are these films? How many days did it take them to reach ₹500 crore? What are the overall collections? Who directed these films? Which star heroes acted in them? Let's find out now. Kalki 2898 AD Directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, 'Kalki 2898 AD' shook the box office. The film grossed ₹555 crore within just four days of its release and went on to collect a total of ₹1200 crore, making it the highest-grossing film of the year. Animal The film 'Animal,' directed by Telugu director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor, performed well at the box office. It collected over ₹500 crore in six days and ultimately grossed ₹917.82 crore. A sequel to this movie is also planned. Salaar Directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Prabhas, 'Salaar' caused a cash rain at the box office, joining the ₹500 crore club in just seven days and eventually grossing ₹700 crore. Malayalam star hero Prithviraj appeared as Prabhas's friend in the film. A sequel to Salaar is also in the works. RRR Directed by the legendary Rajamouli and starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, 'RRR' broke several records, grossing ₹570 crore in just three days and receiving widespread acclaim. Overall, this film collected ₹1,810 crore. Baahubali Directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Prabhas, 'Baahubali' changed the course of Tollywood and showcased its capabilities to the country for the first time. It joined the ₹500 crore club three weeks after its release and totalled between ₹600-650 crore in collections. Baahubali 2 The sequel to 'Baahubali,' 'Baahubali 2,' grossed ₹508 crore worldwide in just three days and became the second highest-grossing film in India with total collections of ₹1,810 crore.

      Devaki Nandana Vasudeva Movie Review: Ashok Galla Shines in a Mythology-Inspired Tale That Misses the Mark!
      Devaki Nandana Vasudeva Movie Review: Ashok Galla Shines in a Mythology-Inspired Tale That Misses the Mark!
      Cast: Ashok Galla, Manasa Varanasi, Devadatta Nage, and othersDirector: Arjun JandyalaStory: Prasanth VarmaDialogues: Burra Sai MadhavCinematography: Prasad Murella, RasoolEditing: ThimmarajuRelease Date: November 22, 2024 Ashok Galla, the son of prominent businessman Galla Jayadev and nephew of Mahesh Babu, stars in his latest film, Devaki Nandana Vasudeva. Prasanth Varma, known for Hanuman, penned the story, while Arjun Jandyala directed the movie. The team promised a blend of spirituality, commercial appeal, and thrilling elements. Released on November 22, did the movie captivate the audience? Did Prasanth Varma's trademark shine through? Let’s delve into the details. The Plot Kamsaraju (Devadatta Nage) is a tyrant. During a visit to Kashi, he encounters an Aghora who predicts that his death will come at the hands of his sister’s third child. Terrified, Kamsaraju attacks his pregnant sister (Devayani), leading to the death of her husband. He is sentenced to 21 years in prison. Meanwhile, his sister gives birth to a girl, Sathya (Manasa Varanasi). As she grows up, Krishna (Ashok Galla) falls in love with her. Upon Kamsaraju’s release from jail, what happens to Sathya? What secret has Kamsaraju’s sister been hiding from him? How does Krishna protect his love? The answers lie in the movie. The Performances Ashok Galla clearly worked hard for his role as Krishna, and his efforts are evident on screen. Compared to his previous film, Ashok has improved in both acting and body language. His performance in key emotional scenes is commendable. Manasa Varanasi impresses as the heroine, and her chemistry with Ashok works well. However, she falters in conveying deeper emotions in certain scenes. Devadatta Nage delivers a solid performance as the antagonist, while Devayani does justice to her role as Kamsaraju’s sister. Jhansi shines as the hero’s mother, while supporting actors like Sanjay Swaroop, Shatru, Sridhar Reddy, and Getup Srinu play their parts adequately. The Direction Despite a premise with potential, Prasanth Varma’s story lacks depth. While mythology is woven into the narrative, it feels disjointed and fails to sync with the storyline. Director Arjun Jandyala missed the opportunity to create magic in the screenplay, which falls flat and lacks intrigue. Certain scenes promote superstitions rather than adding value to the narrative. The love track between the lead pair feels underwhelming, and the action sequences between Krishna and Kamsaraju fail to make an impact. Some scenes intended to elevate Krishna’s character come across as overly dramatic. Overall, the direction leaves the audience bored at several points. Technical Aspects On the technical front, Bhims Ceciroleo’s music is a major asset. His background score elevates the action sequences significantly. Prasad Murella’s cinematography is impressive, capturing the essence of the scenes well. Editor Thimmaraju’s work is satisfactory. The production values are high, and there’s no compromise in terms of budget, making the film visually appealing.

      Ramnagar Bunny Review: Chandrahass Delivers Attitude, But Does It Hit the Mark?
      Ramnagar Bunny Review: Chandrahass Delivers Attitude, But Does It Hit the Mark?
      Cast: Chandrahass, Vismaya Sri, Richa Joshi, Ambika Vani, Ritu Mantra, Muralidhar Goud, and others. Written and Directed by: Srinivas Mehta Music by: Ashwin Hemant Cinematography: Askar Ali Editor: Marthand K. Venkatesh Producers: Prabhakar, Malayaja Prabhakar Release Date: 04-10-2024 Chandrahass, son of small-screen megastar Prabhakar, has become highly popular on social media as the Attitude Star. His latest film 'Ramnagar Bunny' has been much discussed on social media recently. Chandrahass's comments about refunding ticket money if the movie doesn't appeal went viral. Now, the film has hit the screens. So, how is it? Did the Attitude Star deliver a hit? Did he captivate as a hero? Let’s find out in this review. Plot Bunny (Chandrahass) from Ramnagar has a weakness for girls. He falls in love with every girl he sees, sequentially engaging in love tracks with three of them (Vismaya Sri, Richa Joshi, Ambika Vani). Facing unexpected circumstances, he even promises to marry an auntie and joins her company. However, Bunny realizes he doesn’t actually like the auntie. He discovers he truly loves Shailu (Vismaya Sri), but by then, her engagement with someone else is already fixed. What does Bunny do next? How does he win Shailu’s love? For that, you must head to the theaters. Performances Actor Chandrahass has brought the same attitude to the screen that made him popular, proving to be the film’s strength. Despite this being his first film, his acting is captivating. He performed confidently, excelling in dances and fight scenes, and also impressed in romantic scenes. Vismaya Sri as Shailu looked adorable, and the other three women involved with Bunny were adequate. Muralidhar Goud, playing Bunny's father, contributed well with his comedic timing. Other supporting actors were passable. Direction Director Srinivas Mehta crafted 'Ramnagar Bunny' in a way that appeals to the youth, seemingly writing the story just for Chandrahass. He combined a simple story with an excellent screenplay to deliver full-on entertainment. He successfully portrayed Chandrahass not as a superhero but as a regular young man wandering the streets, which really worked. The film maintains a light-hearted tone throughout, with comedy scenes, a few emotional scenes, four songs, and two fight sequences, making it a perfect commercial film. However, Chandrahass's inexperience shows in dragged scenes and emotional sequences, which can be seen as a minus. Technically On the technical front, three songs were quite good, and the background music was engaging. The cinematography was also well-done. However, drone shots of Hyderabad city and selfie visuals in one song didn't quite work out. The editing was okay, and the production values were good. Plus Points - Chandrahass's acting - Commercial elements - Music Minus Points - Dragged scenes - Weak emotional scenes Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 3/5

After a decade-long wait, they achieved a 100% strike rate in the AP elections. This has significantly boosted Pawan Kalyan's fame nationwide.

Glimpses and promotional posters related to these three films have been released and have notably attracted the audience's attention, especially 'OG', for which Pawan's fans are highly excited as he will appear as a gangster for the first time. Busy in Politics Pawan took a break from shooting three months before the AP elections, causing a significant hiatus in the shooting schedules of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', and 'OG'. The spectacular victory of Jana Sena in the elections and the subsequent formation of a coalition government where he assumed the role of Deputy CM were swiftly executed. However, Pawan has clarified that he will continue acting, stating his primary commitment is to public service, and he will complete pending films by shooting one or two days a week when possible. His fans are eagerly waiting for the deferred movies to resume. Good News for Pawan Fans Information is surfacing that Pawan Kalyan is ready to return to movie sets. Shooting for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is scheduled to begin on September 23, and Pawan Kalyan is also expected to participate from the same day. There’s a strong buzz that he will be actively shooting for about 20 days. Pawan’s fans are expressing their happiness on social media platforms, anticipating his dynamic return to the silver screen.

      Raghava Lawrence’s Bold Leap with ₹200 Crore ‘Kala Bhairava’ Amid High Stakes and Expectations
      Raghava Lawrence’s Bold Leap with ₹200 Crore ‘Kala Bhairava’ Amid High Stakes and Expectations
      Having started in the film industry as a choreographer, Raghava Lawrence has made a notable mark in both Telugu and Tamil cinema. Initially showcasing his skills as a director, Lawrence later proved his mettle as an actor as well. With films like ‘Mass’, ‘Style’, ‘Muni’, ‘Don’, ‘Kanchana’, and ‘Ganga’, he has captivated Telugu audiences. However, his recent release 'Chandramukhi 2' was a box office failure, placing a lot of expectations on his next project, 'Kala Bhairava'. Recently, the first look poster of this movie was released. Lawrence in a Serious Look! The film 'Kala Bhairava', directed by Ramesh Varma and starring Raghava Lawrence, is anticipated with high expectations. Ramesh Varma, known for directing successful films like 'Rakshasudu' and 'Khiladi' with Ravi Teja, is working on this project, which marks the 25th film in Lawrence’s career. On the occasion of Lawrence’s birthday on September 29, the first look and title poster of the movie were released. The poster, portraying Lawrence in an intense look, has gone viral online, branding it as a pan-India superhero film. https://twitter.com/offl_Lawrence/status/1850890389521092953 Biggest Budget in His Career! 'Kala Bhairava', featuring Lawrence as the lead, is being produced by prestigious banners including A STUDIOS LLP, Goldmine Tele Films, Neeladri Productions, and Havish Productions. Producer Koneru Satyanarayana is backing this film, which is being made with an approximate budget of ₹200 crores, marking it as the highest budget in Lawrence’s career. The film is set to release in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi, with shooting scheduled to start in November and a release planned for the summer of 2025. Further details about the film are expected to be announced soon by the makers. https://twitter.com/offl_Lawrence/status/1850890389521092953 Are They Taking a Risk? The decision to allocate a ₹200 crore budget for 'Kala Bhairava' has sparked diverse opinions within film circles. Despite Lawrence's recognition in the Telugu and Tamil film industries, his market performance is reportedly lagging, with none of his films reaching the ₹100 crore club to date. There is a notable risk in investing ₹200 crores based on the trust in Lawrence, with warnings of potential significant losses if the results are not favorable. However, the makers are not holding back on spending due to their confidence in the subject. https://twitter.com/offl_Lawrence/status/1850890389521092953 Lawrence’s Good Heart Aside from acting, Raghava Lawrence is also known for his charitable activities. Having founded a charitable organization in the past, he has repeatedly helped the needy and farmers. Recently, on his birthday, he once again showed his generosity by distributing sewing machines to impoverished widows to help them become self-reliant. A video related to this act was posted by Lawrence on his official Twitter account, earning him praise from netizens who are encouraging him to continue such charitable efforts in the future. https://twitter.com/offl_Lawrence/status/1850890389521092953

      Prabhas New Projects: Prabhas Keeps His Promise with Three Films Simultaneously on the Sets!
      Prabhas New Projects: Prabhas Keeps His Promise with Three Films Simultaneously on the Sets!
      Pan-India star Prabhas is making rapid strides with a series of films. With back-to-back hits, he stands unmatched in stature among national cinema stars. Having recently hit the ₹1200 crore mark with his project 'Kalki', Prabhas has once again proven his box office prowess. Moreover, he's on a roll announcing consecutive pan-India projects. Following a strategy once employed by superstar Krishna, he's fully focused on his films. Prabhas is set to keep his promise to fans by launching three films at once. Let's explore more about this in this special report. Prabhas' Promise! Prabhas has become synonymous with pan-India films. Every film he takes on escalates to a national project. Until 'Adipurush' (2023), Prabhas would spend at least two years on each film, a pattern that began with 'Baahubali' in 2015. There was a two-year gap between 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2', and a three-year interval between 'Saaho' (2019) and 'Radhe Shyam' (2022), which initially disappointed fans. Frustrations grew over the gaps between his films. Understanding his fans' disappointment, Prabhas promised to release at least one film per year going forward. Keeping his word, he's been vigorously announcing new projects. Superstar Krishna’s Strategy! Prabhas is much more focused on his projects than before, ditching the consecutive project routine to adopt a strategy used by superstar Krishna, who used to work on three or more films simultaneously. Prabhas is now preparing to bring three projects to the sets simultaneously, following in Krishna's footsteps. Indeed, during 'Salaar', he also engaged in shooting 'Kalki 2898 AD', releasing both within a span of six months. Currently, Prabhas is working on 'Raja Saab' directed by Maruthi. He has also recently launched a new project with Hanu Raghavapudi and is planning to start 'Spirit' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga by November. Prabhas is planning to participate in the shootings of these three films simultaneously and release each within a year. Additionally, there's potential to launch 'Salaar 2' and 'Kalki 2' next year. India’s No.1 Hero: Prabhas A recent July report by Bollywood media firm Ormax listed the most popular heroes, with Prabhas securing the number one position. Following Prabhas, Tamil star Vijay and Bollywood's Shah Rukh Khan filled the next top spots, with superstar Mahesh Babu and Junior NTR also featuring prominently. Prabhas has consistently topped these lists since May and June, much to the delight of fans and movie enthusiasts. Comments are flooding the internet celebrating Prabhas' ascension as the number one star, surpassing other Bollywood heroes.

      Rising Stars: Bhagyashri Borse and Kavya Thapar Set to Shine in Tollywood
      Tollywood is no stranger to heroines. With each film, new faces are introduced. While some captivate with their beauty and acting, becoming star heroines, others fade without making a mark. On this note, two heroines are gearing up to showcase their talent on the Telugu screen around August 15. Bhagyashri Borse is set to charm the audience with "Mr. Bachchan," while Kavya Thapar is ready with "Double iSmart." While Kavya Thapar has already done four films in Telugu, it is the first film for Bhagyashri Borse, making the competition between them quite interesting. Let's examine their prospects in this showdown. Bhagyashri Borse The Epitome of Beauty, Bhagyashri! During the promotions of "Mr. Bachchan," Bhagyashri has been the center of attention in the media, surprising everyone with her varied looks at each event. She appeared traditional in a saree at one event and strikingly glamorous in modern attire at another. The "Mr. Bachchan" team is also highlighting her beauty, actively involving her in the promotions to heighten expectations among the youth. This hot beauty is seizing the opportunity, bringing fresh charm to the promotions with her adorable expressions. She views this as her best chance to make a mark. Harish Shankar's Mark! If you observe the trailers, teasers, and promotional posters of "Mr. Bachchan," it's evident that Bhagyashri is set to deliver a glamorous treat. She seems to have put on a commendable performance alongside Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja. Director Harish Shankar is well-known for showcasing heroines effectively. As seen in the duo's previous film "Mirapakay," which entertained with two heroines, "Mr. Bachchan" is expected to offer a substantial dose of glamor from Bhagyashri. If this film kicks off her career properly, she might become an unstoppable force in the industry. Moreover, her decision to dub for herself could work greatly in her favor. Exciting Projects in Hand Even before the release of one movie, Bhagyashri Borse has been swamped with incredible offers. During the shooting of "Mr. Bachchan," she landed a role in an upcoming film by the Vijay Deverakonda-Gowtam Tinnanuri duo. She is also participating in the shooting of this movie. Furthermore, there is buzz about her being considered for a heroine role in an upcoming film starring Hero Nani directed by Sujeeth. If all goes well, an official announcement about the Nani-Bhagyashri duo might soon be made. Thus, without even a debut release, she is continuously securing opportunities in Tollywood, poised to become a top heroine if her upcoming blockbusters succeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS7Wm46EXAA Background of Bhagyashri Borse Bhagyashri Borse hails from Pune, Maharashtra. She was introduced to the silver screen with the Hindi film "Yaariyan 2." Previously, she worked as a model in various ads, notably gaining fame with Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk commercials. Impressed by her acting in "Yaariyan 2," director Harish Shankar offered her a role in "Mr. Bachchan." This has created a buzz around her in Tollywood, leading to more offers. Known for her cute appearance, Bhagyashri is also very active on social media, constantly sharing glamorous photos and engaging with fans, thereby increasing her popularity beyond films. Kavya Thapar Kavya Thapar's Buzz! Kavya Thapar starred as the heroine in the "Double iSmart" movie, formed from the Ram Pothineni-Puri Jagannadh combo. Despite acting in Telugu films like "Ee Maaya Peremito," "Ek Mini Katha," and "Ooru Peru Bhairavakona," she hadn't achieved a major breakthrough. Hence, she has high hopes for the success of "Double iSmart." She did not hold back in showcasing her glamor either. The trailer and lyrical song videos, along with promotional posters of "Double iSmart," show Kavya Thapar in a very hot avatar. Her glamorous look and stunning dance moves have captivated the youth. She also acted in a lip-lock scene, surprising everyone. If all goes as planned and "Double iSmart" succeeds, it is certain that Kavya Thapar will become a star heroine, as predicted by film circles. Under Srinu Vaitla's Direction... Kavya Thapar has bagged the heroine role opposite Gopichand in the upcoming film "Viswam," directed by Srinu Vaitla. This high-action entertainer is mostly being shot in Italy and is nearing the final stages of filming. Kavya has high expectations for this film as well. According to the latest buzz, she is set to appear in a special song in "Pushpa 2." Given her popularity among the youth for her beauty, director Sukumar is contemplating featuring Kavya in an item song, with an official announcement expected soon. Additionally, more opportunities are anticipated for Kavya Thapar, who remains busy not only in films but also on social media, where she frequently shares her glamorous photos, delighting netizens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kba0qmTtZE Background of Kavya Thapar Originally from Maharashtra, Kavya Thapar began her career with the 2013 short film "Tatkal."

Why? Directed by Periyasamy and starring Sivakarthikeyan, 'Amaran' revolves around the life of a martyred army soldier and was a massive box office success, grossing over Rs. 180 crores. In this context, Sai Pallavi discussed her latest film and mentioned the difficulties she faced during the filming of 'Shyam Singha Roy'. She revealed that night shoots were especially challenging for her, stating that the majority of her scenes in 'Shyam Singha Roy' were filmed at night, which meant she had to stay awake until dawn. This continued for about 30 days, making her situation almost unbearable. "I Cried Out to My Sister" While shooting 'Shyam Singha Roy' at night, Sai Pallavi was also attending another movie set during the day, which left her mentally exhausted. One night, her sister Pooja Kannan visited, and Sai Pallavi broke down while talking to her, expressing her inability to stop her tears and her desire for a day off. Moved by her plight, her sister went directly to the producer of 'Shyam Singha Roy', Venkat Boyanapalli, and pleaded for a day off, saying, "My sister is crying, please give her at least one day off." The producer responded immediately, "Take ten days off. Do what you need to, and when you feel everything is fine, come back to the shooting." Sai Pallavi Stuns as a Devadasi In 'Shyam Singha Roy', directed by Rahul Sankrityan and starring Nani, the film was a huge success at the box office. It featured themes of reincarnation, with Nani playing dual roles as Vasu and Shyam Singha Roy, a character from the 1970s. Sai Pallavi excelled in the role of Devadasi Maitreyi, captivating the audience with her emotional performance and unparalleled dance skills, elevating her status as an actress. Her portrayal of the life of Devadasis was lauded as beyond praise. After the release of 'Shyam Singha Roy', the audience equally praised Sai Pallavi's performance alongside Nani. Sai Pallavi's Projects Currently, Sai Pallavi is working with director Chandoo Mondeti on the film 'Thandel', co-starring Naga Chaitanya. Following the blockbuster 'Love Story', expectations are high for their next collaboration, 'Thandel', set to release on February 7 next year. Additionally, she is involved in a high-profile Bollywood project directed by Nitesh Tiwari titled 'Ramayana', where she plays Sita. Recently leaked photos of her as Sita have captivated a wide audience. Ranbir Kapoor plays Rama and Yash plays Ravana. The movie is set to be released in two parts, with the first part scheduled to premiere next Diwali.

      KA Movie Review : Missing Girls Mystery & Double Role - 'KA' Proves to be Kiran's Career-Best!
      Release Date: October 31, 2024 Cast: Kiran Abbavaram, Nayan Sarika, Tanvi Ram, Achyuth Kumar, Balagam Jayaram, and others Directors: Sandeep, Sujit Producer: Chinta Gopalakrishna Reddy Music: Sam CS Cinematography: Satish Reddy Masam, Daniel Vishwas Kiran Abbavaram is one of Tollywood's talented young heroes. He made a mark with his debut film 'Raja Vaaru Rani Gaaru' and showed his potential. Despite his subsequent seven films, except for 'SR Kalyanamandapam,' not making an impact, many thought his career might have stalled. However, Kiran made a striking comeback with the pan-India project 'KA,' which garnered a lot of hype through its promotions. The trailer raised expectations, and the film has now been released globally as a Diwali gift. Let's see how it fared. Plot Abhinay Vasudev (Kiran Abbavaram) is a young orphan who grows up grieving the loss of his family. From his childhood, he longs for his parents. Escaping from the orphanage and stealing money from his master, Gurunatham, he leaves. He loves reading books and letters, a passion that leads him on a new path. Finally, he arrives in Krishnagiri and joins as a postman in the village. There he falls in love with Satyabhama (Nayan Sarika), who reciprocates his feelings. Meanwhile, girls in the village start disappearing. Who is behind this mystery, and how does Abhinay Vasudev confront this challenge? That forms the rest of the story. What's the Film Like? The film introduces a fresh concept. The narration, thrilling moments, and climax are well-executed. Strong characters and their engaging presentation capture the audience's attention, especially during the interval and climax scenes. The twists add freshness to the narrative. Kiran Abbavaram excels in the dual variations of his role as Abhinay. Nayan Sarika, as the heroine, delivers a commendable performance that captivates the audience. Balagam Jayaram is impressive, and other principal cast members have justified their roles effectively. How's the Direction? Directors Sandeep and Sujit have somewhat succeeded in capturing the essence of the suspense thriller genre. While there is room for improvement in the screenplay, key scenes have been compellingly shot. Although the concept is interesting, some parts of the screenplay feel slow. The main conflict point could have been clearer, and some unnecessary scenes seem to weaken the suspense. These issues somewhat detracted from the film's overall impact. Technical Aspects The film excels technically. The cinematography by Satish Reddy Masam and Daniel Vishwas breathes life into crucial scenes. Sam CS's music adds strength to the film, and the editing is sharp. Chinta Gopalakrishna Reddy's production values are commendable. Final Thoughts Overall, 'KA' engages audiences with its suspense and thriller elements, underpinned by a strong story. The concept and some thrilling elements significantly elevate the film. Fans of suspense thrillers will likely enjoy this movie. Rating: 3.5/5
