Cast: Sri Simha, Satya, Faria Abdullah, Sunil, Vennela Kishore, Rohini, and others.



Writer and Director: Ritesh Rana



Music: Kaala Bhairava



Cinematographer: Suresh Sarangam



Editor: Karthika Srinivas



Producer: Chiranjeevi (Cherry)



Release Date: September 13, 2024



Sri Simha stars in 'Mathu Vadalara 2,' directed by Ritesh Rana. The film features key performances by Faria Abdullah, Satya, Vennela Kishore, Rohini, and Sunil. The movie captured everyone's attention when actor Prabhas launched the trailer, which was full of laughs, heightening expectations. How did the film turn out? Did it impress the Telugu audience? Let's dive into this review to find out.







Plot



Babu (Sri Simha) and Yesu Babu (Satya) work as delivery boys struggling with financial issues. Their inadequate earnings lead them to become special agents. A small mistake in a case they handle gets them into trouble. What is this case about? What was their mistake? How did they get out of it? How does undercover agent Nidhi (Faria Abdullah) help them? To find out, you must watch the movie.







Performances



As the lead, Sri Simha delivers a solid performance, captivating in comedy and action sequences. However, Satya, present in every scene, steals the show, making him the true hero of the film. With his punchlines and comic timing, Satya excels, especially with his expressions that guarantee a laugh riot. His antics as the "Sexy Siren" in the film are particularly effective. Faria Abdullah also lands a substantial role that is memorable post her character in 'Chitti'. Vennela Kishore adds his unique flavor of comedy, while Sunil and Rohini do justice to their significant roles. Other actors also performed adequately.







Direction



Director Ritesh Rana crafts stories revolving around drugs, guns, and money. This time is no different, blending kidnapping drama with humor to entertain the audience. He successfully uses star references including Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Balakrishna, and Mahesh Babu to great effect. The characters of Sri Simha and Satya are particularly entertaining and well-developed. Every character appears fresh and funny on screen. The director keeps the first half a fun ride, though he struggles a bit in the second half where some scenes drag. The climax also feels predictable, a minor drawback.







Technically



On the technical front, Kaala Bhairava's background score is a major plus, elevating many scenes effectively. The cinematography is commendable, but the editing could have been tighter. The production values are high.







Plus Points



- Sri Simha and Satya’s performances



- Comedy



- Background music



Minus Points



- Some dragging scenes



- Predictable climax

Mathu Vadalara 2 Movie Review: Comedy, Chaos, and Satya’s Hilarious Performance


Prominent comedian Satya is currently the talk of Tollywood. His recent performance in 'Mathu Vadalara 2' has been widely praised for being hilariously entertaining. There's a buzz suggesting that Satya is set to become a star comedian in Telugu cinema. Online posts are even predicting he might be the next Brahmanandam among this generation of comedians. Critics acknowledge the fruit of over a decade and a half of Satya's hard work, as he now seems poised to push other comedians to the side in the industry.



Satya's One-Man Show!



Audiences who watched the Friday release of 'Mathu Vadalara 2' are all praises for comedian Satya. Although the film features many artists, including the lead actor Sri Simha, everyone seems to be talking about Satya. Even if the script is considered weaker compared to 'Mattu Vadalara', and other attractions in the film did not stand out as much, Satya’s comedy alone worked wonderfully. From the first scene to the last, Satya made everyone laugh. Particularly, his dance in the song '16 Year Age' has received a tremendous response. Despite several downsides in the film, viewers feel that Satya’s comedy overshadowed them all. If he continues to deliver such performances, his place as a star comedian is assured.







15 Years of Struggle..



Though Satya has been in the industry for nearly a decade and a half, it took him many years to get a significant break. Following Sunil, Satya brings a similar style of comedy that instinctively makes people laugh. He has been progressing slowly over the past few years. Whenever he lands a good character, he turns into the highlight of the film with his outstanding comedy. In movies like 'Mathu Vadalara', 'Rangabali', 'Bedurulanka 2012', and 'Geethanjali Malli Vachindi', he has delivered rib-tickling performances. Even in a lead role in 'Vivaha Bhojanambu', he made audiences laugh and cry. Despite being busier than ever, he hasn’t had a film that fully utilized his talent until now. 'Mathu Vadalara 2' seems to have filled that gap.







Directors’ Focus on Satya!



With each film, Satya’s career graph is on the rise, and Tollywood directors have taken notice. Information suggests that several star directors are planning to cast him in full-length characters in their films. With positive audience responses, filmmakers are considering creating separate comedy tracks just for him. Recently, in the Ravi Teja and Harish Shankar combo film 'Mr. Bachchan', Satya had a full-length role. Although his comedy was a highlight, the film’s flop status didn't bring him much recognition.







Tough Competition for Other Comedians!



Tollywood is home to many comedians like Ali, Vennela Kishore, Priyadarshi, Getup Sreenu, Saptagiri, Chamak Chandra, Thagubothu Ramesh, and Dhanraj, who are all trying to rise to stardom. Even Sunil has returned to comedy and villain roles. However, critics predict that all these comedians will face stiff competition from Satya. His rising popularity might make him the first choice for directors, suggesting that other comedians must carve out their unique identities or risk diminishing opportunities in the industry.






Satya: Tollywood's Rising Star Comedian, The Next Brahmanandam?


In the current era of OTT, new movies are greeting the audience every week. This weekend is no exception, with several Telugu films set to stream. Some are already available.

What is "Pottel" about?



Director Saahith Mothkuri has depicted the rural backdrop of the 1980s in "Pottel," transporting the audience back in time right from the beginning. In the first 20 minutes, he immerses the audience in village life, showing how the lower and vulnerable classes were oppressed and subjected to severe hardship. The film’s approach to caste, religion, and egotistical distinctions between big and small has become a major attraction. The introduction of characters, the love story between the hero and heroine, and other scenes beautifully set up the first half. The second part seems a bit faltering where the director over-emphasized the villain harming the main characters to evoke emotions, leading to scenes that stray from logic. However, the director succeeded in connecting the audience with the underlying message of the story.







Plot&nbsp;



The story unfolds in Gurramgadda village, located at the borders of Maharashtra and Telangana. The villagers conduct a festival for the village deity Balamma once in every cycle and offer sacrifices. It is believed that during this time, the deity possesses Patel (Ajay), the village head, who then prevents the villagers from progressing, particularly in education. On the other side, Pedda Gangadhari (Yuva Chandra) serves as the keeper of the sacrificial animals and secretly educates his daughter. When Patel finds out, he makes the sacrificial animal disappear. He threatens to sacrifice Gangadhari’s daughter if the animal isn’t found by the festival. What does Gangadhari do to save his daughter? Is he able to bring back the animal? What role does Bujjamma (Ananya Nagalla) play in this story?

Shocking! Small Film 'Pottel' Beats Jr NTR's 400-Crore 'Devara' in Fan Reviews


The upcoming film 'Game Changer', featuring the stellar combination of star director Shankar and mega power star Ram Charan, is set to release as a Sankranthi gift. Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani stars opposite Charan. As part of the movie promotions, two songs have recently been released to a great response. The makers are now gearing up to release a third song, which is currently causing quite a stir due to its extravagant budget. Let’s take a look at the details.



Rs. 20 Crores for a Single Song!



The first two songs from 'Game Changer', 'Jaragandi Jaragandi' and 'Ra Macha Macha', have received a positive reception. Particularly, 'Ra Macha Macha' has garnered millions of views on YouTube and is trending nationwide. The makers are now preparing to launch the third single by the end of October or the first week of November. While the first two songs were energetic, the third single is set to be a melody. According to the latest buzz, the budget for this third song is over Rs. 20 crores, though this has yet to be confirmed by the makers.







The Budget of Three Hit Films!



Recent Telugu releases 'Aay', 'Committee Kurrollu', and 'Mathu Vadalara 2' have been successful and well-received by audiences. These films were made on modest budgets and have achieved good box office returns. The combined budget of these three films is estimated at around Rs. 20 crores. Rumors that a single song from 'Game Changer' cost Rs. 20 crores are sparking debate. Reports suggest that the second single 'Ra Macha Macha' also had a budget of Rs. 6-10 crores, with hundreds of dancers performing in various costumes. The hefty spending on songs alone is drawing criticism.







Does Shankar Need to Change His Approach?



Tamil star director Shankar is known for the spectacular songs in his films, which have been a hallmark of movies like 'Bharateeyudu', 'Jeans', 'Oke Okkadu', 'Aparichitudu', 'Shivaji', 'Robo', 'Snehithudu', and 'Robo 2.0'. Shankar tries to provide a new experience to the audience by shooting songs in beautiful international locations. However, after a series of flops, there's growing concern among producers about Shankar's recent track record. The film community suggests that if Shankar doesn't adjust his approach, producers may be reluctant to work with him due to the high financial risks.







Record Price for OTT Rights!



The OTT rights for 'Game Changer' have reportedly been sold for a record price. Amazon Prime has acquired the streaming rights for Rs. 110 crores for the South Indian languages alone. The makers are also in talks to sell the Hindi digital rights to another streaming service. It is estimated that the total earnings from OTT could reach Rs. 150 crores. Even though 'Game Changer' is still two months away from release, selling the OTT rights for such a high amount is unprecedented in the industry.







Thandel vs Game Changer



'Game Changer' is officially set to release on January 10 as a Sankranthi gift. On the other hand, Naga Chaitanya’s 'Thandel' is also being prepped for a Sankranthi release. The industry buzz is keen on the clash between the heirs of Chiranjeevi and Nagarjuna, who have faced off several times before. After the global success of 'RRR', Ram Charan is looking to solidify his stature with 'Game Changer'. Meanwhile, Chaitanya is determined to hit a success with 'Thandel' after the mixed responses to his recent projects. The battle between Charan and Chaitanya will be one to watch.
