    Bhumika Chawla's Heartbreaking Story: Replaced in 'Jab We Met' After Waiting a Year
    Bhumika Chawla's Heartbreaking Story: Replaced in 'Jab We Met' After Waiting a Year
    Bhumika Chawla was once a star heroine in Tollywood, acting alongside leading heroes like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Junior NTR, Ravi Teja, and Venkatesh. Her films such as 'Okkadu', 'Khushi', and 'Simhadri' were major hits in the industry. However, she recently shared a grievous insult she faced early in her Hindi film career. She revealed that she was abruptly removed from a project that she had high hopes for. Her comments about this incident have gone viral online. Now, let’s look at the details. Waited a Year.. Still Replaced! Bhumika Chawla's transformation into a film heroine began with the 2000 film 'Yuvakudu' starring Sumanth. She then gained recognition in Telugu as a star heroine through films like 'Khushi', 'Vasu', 'Okkadu', 'Missamma', and 'Simhadri'. After 'Simhadri', her first Hindi film 'Tere Naam' also turned out to be a success, leading to continuous offers in Bollywood, including 'Munna Bhai MBBS' and 'Jab We Met'. Bhumika revealed that she was initially selected as the heroine for 'Jab We Met'. She waited almost a year for this movie and did not accept other films to avoid date issues. However, she mentioned that initially, Bobby Deol was considered as the hero for 'Jab We Met', but later they brought in Shahid Kapoor instead. Subsequently, they also replaced her with Kareena Kapoor as the final choice. This deeply upset her, and she remarked that her career could have been different had she done the film. https://twitter.com/theBuzZBasket/status/1846077009803297009 Those Movies Gave Me Joy: Bhumika It appears that Bhumika Chawla also faced injustice with the Hindi film 'Munna Bhai MBBS'. Initially, she was considered for the heroine role opposite Sanjay Dutt. Due to unavoidable reasons, she was replaced by Vidya Balan. This film became a blockbuster hit in Hindi and was remade in Telugu as 'Shankar Dada MBBS' by Megastar, which was also a grand success. Despite losing these two opportunities, Bhumika recalled the success of her Telugu films 'Khushi', 'Okkadu', and 'Simhadri', which recently re-released and achieved good collections, bringing her joy. Was She Replaced Just for a Girlfriend? There are discussions in Bollywood circles suggesting a strong reason behind Bhumika’s removal from 'Jab We Met'. During the time of this movie, there were widespread reports of Shahid Kapoor being in a relationship with Bollywood beauty Kareena Kapoor. In this context, it is alleged that Shahid Kapoor provided his girlfriend with the opportunity by replacing Bhumika. However, Kareena later separated from Shahid and eventually married Saif Ali Khan. Some people believe that the directors and producers might have thought Kareena would be a better fit alongside Shahid Kapoor, which is why they made the switch at the last moment. Despite acting in several Hindi films thereafter, Bhumika did not achieve significant success. 21 Years Later.. Currently, Bhumika has begun her second innings in Telugu cinema, captivating audiences with key supporting roles in films like 'MCA (Middle Class Abbayi)', 'Savyasachi', 'Ruler', 'Paagal', 'Seetimaarr', 'Sita Ramam', and 'Butterfly'. She is also playing a pivotal role in the upcoming film 'Euphoria', directed by Gunasekhar. Notably, this is the first film she is doing with Gunasekhar after the blockbuster 'Okkadu', 21 years ago. She expressed her happiness about working with Gunasekhar again on her Instagram account, writing about the start of a new journey.

    Nani and Sekhar Kammula Set for a First-Time Collaboration, Sai Pallavi Likely to Join
    Nani and Sekhar Kammula Set for a First-Time Collaboration, Sai Pallavi Likely to Join
    Director Sekhar Kammula, known for crafting classic films in Tollywood, especially youthful love entertainers, has carved a distinct identity for himself. Meanwhile, Natural Star Nani is also popularly seen as a 'lover boy' and is currently riding high after the success of his recent movie 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram'. Amidst this backdrop, there is widespread buzz about an upcoming film under the direction of Sekhar Kammula starring Nani. It's being talked about that Sai Pallavi might join as the heroine for this movie. Super Combo Loading An exciting new combination is set to take shape in Tollywood with Nani and Sekhar Kammula teaming up for a new film, according to social media buzz. Tollywood circles are also abuzz with the prospects of this pairing. The script for this movie is reportedly ready, and Nani is expected to hear the final narration soon. The film is said to be a fresh love entertainer, and Sekhar Kammula is considering casting Sai Pallavi as the heroine, which is expected to be a great addition. If all goes as planned, an official announcement regarding this movie may be expected soon. A Departure from Usual Style Sekhar Kammula typically does not think about other projects while working on one, focusing entirely on the current film. However, he seems to have departed from this approach as he is already preparing stories for future projects while wrapping up current ones. This strategy might reduce the gap between his film releases. It is also noted that while working on these projects, Sekhar Kammula is already preparing the story for Nani's film. Currently, he is busy shooting 'Kubera', a pan-India film starring Tamil actor Dhanush and Telugu cinema stalwart Nagarjuna. A First Time for This Combo Till now, there hasn't been a film that brought Nani and Sekhar Kammula together. Sekhar has expressed his desire to work with Nani on multiple occasions. However, he has worked with Sai Pallavi in two films previously. She was introduced to the industry as a heroine with his film 'Fidaa', and she was also the leading lady in the film 'Love Story' starring Naga Chaitanya. Both these films were blockbuster successes and brought significant recognition to Sai Pallavi as an actress. On the other hand, Sai Pallavi and Nani have already worked together in two films, 'MCA' (Middle Class Abbayi) and 'Shyam Singha Roy', both of which received positive responses. Fans are eagerly anticipating a hat-trick success from their combo. Will it Take a While? After the film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram', Nani is currently gearing up for 'Hit 3' under the direction of Sailesh Kolanu. A glimpse of this film was recently released and captured attention. Additionally, Nani is planning another film with director Sujeeth and another with the director of 'Dasara'. Given these commitments, it might take another two years for this rare combo to be set, and Sekhar Kammula is also busy with the filming of 'Kubera'.

    Janaka Aithe Ganaka Review:  Middle-Class Hero Takes On Condom Company – Did He Win?
    Janaka Aithe Ganaka Review: Middle-Class Hero Takes On Condom Company – Did He Win?
    Cast: Suhas, Sankirthana Vipin, Murali Sharma, Rajendra Prasad, Vennela Kishore, Goparaju Ramana, Acharya Srikant, and othersWriter, Director: Sandeep Reddy BandlaMusic: Vijay BulganinCinematography: Sai SriramProducers: Dil Raju, Hanshitha Reddy, Harshith ReddyRelease Date: October 12, 2024 Young hero Suhas is on a roll, releasing films back-to-back and delivering good hits with unique stories. His latest film 'Janaka Aithe Ganaka' falls in line with this streak. Sankirthana plays the heroine. The film is produced by Dil Raju Productions and directed by Sandeep Bandla. It was released on October 12, 2024, with premieres held two days earlier. So, how is this movie? Has Suhas delivered another hit? Let's find out in this review. Plot Prasad (Suhas) is a middle-class man who, due to financial limitations, feels he can't provide "the best" for his children, so he decides not to have kids for the first two years of his marriage. His wife (Sankirthana Vipin) agrees with his decision, and his father (Goparaju Ramana) remains silent on the matter. However, unexpectedly, Prasad's wife becomes pregnant. Convinced that the condom failed, Prasad decides to sue the company. How does the case proceed? What changes occur in Prasad's life? Does he win the case? To find out, you have to watch the movie. Performance Analysis Suhas shines once again in his role as a middle-class hero. He convincingly portrays a man who insists on not having children but ends up becoming a father. Sankirthana delivers an excellent performance as Prasad's wife, playing the obedient and supportive homemaker. Rajendra Prasad, Murali Sharma, and Vennela Kishore all do justice to their roles, making for an impressive cast. Direction Director Sandeep Reddy Bandla scored full marks for the storyline. He presents a fresh take, distinct from routine films. He paints a vivid picture of the life of a middle-class man, his struggles after marriage, and all the expenses involved. The scenes related to pregnancy are touching and connect well with couples who might have avoided having children. The court scenes are humorously portrayed, adding light-hearted moments to the narrative. While some court scenes and the logic around child expenses lack coherence, the humor compensates for these gaps. However, the predictable storyline and lack of significant twists are the negatives. Technical Aspects In terms of technical aspects, the cinematography is well done. The background score is a major plus for the film, although the songs aren't particularly memorable. Editing is just okay, while the production values are top-notch, with no compromises from the producers.

    Peka Medalu Movie Review: A Heartfelt Tale of Middle-Class Emotions!
    Peka Medalu Movie Review: A Heartfelt Tale of Middle-Class Emotions!
    Cast: Vinoth Kishan, Anusha Krishna, Rithika Srinivas, Jagan Yogi Raj, Anusha Nootal, Ganesh Tipparaju, Naren Yadav, and others. Directed by: Neelagiri Mammilla Music by: Smaran Sai Cinematography: Haricharan K. Editing: Srujan Adusumilli, Hamza Ali Producer: Rakesh Varre Production Company: Crazy Ants Productions Release Date: July 19, 2024 Starring Vinoth Kishan and Anusha Krishna, the film 'Peka Medalu' was produced by Crazy Ants Productions. Directed by Neelagiri Mammilla, the movie made its way to the audience on July 19th. Did the film manage to captivate its audience? Let’s find out. Plot Lakshman (Vinoth Kishan) and Varalakshmi (Anusha Krishna) reside in a slum along the Musi River. Despite holding an engineering degree, Lakshman remains unemployed, spending his days dreaming of striking it rich by dealing in real estate. Meanwhile, Varalakshmi shoulders the family’s financial responsibilities. During this period, Lakshman encounters Shweta (Rithika Srinivas), an American investor searching for real estate opportunities. Attempting to capitalize on this, Lakshman masquerades as a wealthy investor. He even exploits his wife’s name to secure loans from the local community. The plot thickens when Varalakshmi discovers his deceit. What actions does she take? How does Shweta's husband respond to Lakshman’s schemes? And do Lakshman’s lofty ambitions ever materialize? For the answers, one must visit the theaters. Performances This is Tamil actor Vinoth Kishan’s first direct film in Telugu. He fits well into the role of Lakshman, convincingly playing the part of a husband wasting time building castles in the air. On the other hand, Anusha Krishna excels as Varalakshmi, portraying the struggles of a middle-class wife with natural ease. Rithika Srinivas also delivers a solid performance as the NRI lady. The movie primarily revolves around these three characters. Other actors in the film also impress within their roles. Direction Director Neelagiri Mammilla has attempted to showcase the lives of the impoverished in the slums of Hyderabad through this film. 'Peka Medalu' conveys that just like the castles in the air, the lives of those who believe in them are similarly intangible. The film depicts how the circumstances in the slums lead children astray while also infusing humor to carry the middle and lower-class emotions. Furthermore, the director has made efforts to portray women's empowerment, suggesting that nothing is impossible with hard work. The first half of the movie flows smoothly, though the second half feels a bit dragged. However, the scenes from the pre-climax to the end title elevate the film to another level. The absence of commercial elements, a routine story, and some scenes feeling repetitive are drawbacks of the movie. Technically On the technical front, the music is good. The editor could have been sharper, especially in making some scenes in the second half crisper. The cinematography is commendable, and the production values are high, giving even this small-scale film a rich look. Plus Points - Performances by the main cast - Narrative and screenplay - Messaging Minus Points - Routine story - Lack of commercial elements Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

    Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam Movie Review: A Glimpse into the Struggles of Middle-Aged Unemployment
    Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam Movie Review: A Glimpse into the Struggles of Middle-Aged Unemployment
    Cast: Rao Ramesh, Indraja, Ankith Koyya, Ramya Pasupuleti, Harshavardhan, Ajay, Annapurnamma, Praveen, and others Written and Directed by: Lakshman Karya Music by: Kalyan Nayak Cinematography by: M.N. Bal Reddy Edited by: Bonthala Nageswara Reddy Presented by: Tabitha Sukumar Co-producers: Rushi Marl, Shivaprasad Marl Produced by: Bujji Rayudu Pentyala, Mohan Karya Release Date: August 23, 2024 Starring Rao Ramesh in the lead role, the film 'Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam' is directed by Lakshman Karya. Indraja, Ankith Koyya, and Ramya Pasupuleti play key roles. The film is presented by prominent director Sukumar's wife, Tabitha Sukumar. The presence of Allu Arjun at promotional events significantly attracted audience attention. Let's find out if the film was entertaining through this review. Plot Subramanyam (Rao Ramesh), a resident of Maruthi Nagar, was selected for a teaching job in 1998. However, due to a court stay, the job was put on hold indefinitely. Since then, he has resolved not to take up any other work and lives unemployed. His wife, Kalarani (Indraja), works as a clerk in a government office. They have a son, Arjun (Ankith Koyya), who falls in love with Kanchana (Ramya Pasupuleti) at first sight. Amidst hardships, one day, unexpectedly, Subramanyam's account receives ₹10 lakhs. Who deposited the money? Did Subramanyam finally get his government job or not? What did his son do to win his love? You'll have to watch the movie to find out. Performance There's nothing new to say about Rao Ramesh's acting; he perfectly embodied the character of Subramanyam throughout the film, utilizing his extensive experience. His son, played by Ankith, was quite captivating. After last week's 'Aay', he has impressed again in this film, and his antics provide a good dose of laughter. Ramya Pasupuleti, who played Kanchana, didn’t have much scope for acting but made a notable attempt at glamor. Indraja's role was limited; apart from being emotional in the beginning and dancing at the end, there wasn’t much for her. Other characters like Praveen, Harshavardhan, and Annapurnamma were satisfactory. Direction The director, Lakshman Karya, has woven the narrative around the unemployment struggles of a middle-aged man belonging to the middle class. His incorporation of natural scenarios with a touch of humor has been successful. The sudden change in Subramanyam's demeanor once money is deposited into his account, and the ensuing antics are the highlights. The second part of the movie, revolving around the problems after spending the money, is well-directed. Although predictable, Rao Ramesh’s timing and humor elevate the film. The plot twists in the climax add intrigue, but Ankith’s love track and some illogical scenes and unfunny comedy bits are downsides. Technically... On the technical front, every department has performed well. The cinematography is notably colorful, and the songs are pleasant to listen to. The background score effectively elevates the scenes. Editing is also decent. The production values appear quite rich. Plus Points - Rao Ramesh's acting - Comedy - Climax Minus Points - Ankith's love track - Predictable narrative Telugu.yousay.tv Rating : 3/5

After a long time, a Telugu film revolving around banking and the stock market has emerged, with the infamous Harshad Mehta scandal of the 90s as a crucial element. Director Venky Atluri intricately weaves the everyday struggles of middle-class families with their financial integrity into the narrative. The twists and characters resonate closely with the audience. Initially, the film portrays the challenges faced by Baskhar’s family and his humiliations, followed by his efforts to overcome these hurdles, which renew his zest for life. Baskhar’s risks, the problems he faces, and his clever ways of handling them thrill the audience. Notably, the interval scenes and the complications faced by Baskhar in the first half are captivating. However, some scenes in the second half might seem a bit confusing. Topics like the stock market and shares may not be easily comprehensible to the general audience. The transformation in Baskhar’s life and his efforts to resolve family issues are engaging. Who Did Well? Dulquer Salmaan excels in the role of Baskhar, embodying a middle-class individual wonderfully. Meenakshi Chaudhary brings authenticity to her role as Sumathi. Ramki, Sachin Khedekar, and others justify their roles well. Technical Aspects: Technically, the film is superior. GV Prakash Kumar’s music is a crucial asset, with his background score adding hype to the story. Nimesh Ravi’s cinematography transports the ambiance back to the 90s Mumbai. Venky Atluri’s skill in character development and managing the narrative twists makes the film stand out, showcasing the production values without compromise. Strengths: Strong storyline Dulquer Salmaan’s performance Background music and twists Weaknesses: Some scenes in the second half Final Words: ‘Lucky Baskhar’ is a smart thriller with an engaging backdrop. Dulquer Salmaan captivates in the role of Baskhar, delivering emotional elements that touch the audience. Despite some slower scenes in the second half, the narrative’s thrilling elements and interesting characters draw the audience closer. Rating: 4/5

    Telugu IPL Players: Telugu cricketers in Cricket from IPL's Inception to Present
    [toc] Cricket is the first sport that comes to mind in India, cutting across barriers of caste, religion, language, and region, and is embraced by individuals from every stratum of society. Cricketers are often idolized like celebrities, their popularity reaching stellar heights. The affection and admiration for cricketers representing Team India are immense. Icons like Sachin Tendulkar, M.S. Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli enjoy fan bases both domestically and internationally. The representation of players from the Telugu regions in such a pivotal sport has been on the rise. There was a time when the name of a Telugu cricketer would primarily evoke the memory of V.V.S. Laxman and Mohammed Azharuddin. Today, however, the scenario has evolved. Several young talents from the Telugu states are emerging on the national scene, with many already having earned recognition and success playing for India. This exclusive report by YouSay highlights the journey and achievements of these athletes in cricket. Nitish Kumar Reddy Telugu cricketer Nitish Kumar Reddy burst onto the scene during the 2024 IPL season. Playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Nitish has showcased exceptional skills in batting, bowling, and fielding. He has established himself as a dependable all-rounder, particularly shining in critical moments of the game. Background Nitish Kumar Reddy was born on May 26, 2003, in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, into a lower middle-class family. His father, Muthyala Reddy, was previously employed at Hindustan Zinc. Nitish began playing cricket at just five years old. Inspired by watching matches at the Hindustan Zinc company grounds and starting with a plastic ball, he was encouraged by his father to pursue cricket professionally. Early in his career, Nitish attended training camps at the Visakhapatnam ground and later joined the ACA Academy in Kadapa. With the support of former chief selector M.S.K. Prasad further developed his cricketing skills. First Class Cricket As an opening batsman in age-group cricket and a medium pacer, Nitish Kumar Reddy has shown considerable prowess. He played for the Under-19 B team, where he effectively displayed his cricketing skills. Nitish made his first-class debut during the 2019-20 Ranji season. Since then, he has participated in 7 matches, amassing one century and one half-century, for a total of 366 runs. In List A cricket, representing the Andhra team, Nitish has played 22 matches, batting in 15 innings and scoring 403 runs with an average of 36.63, which includes 25 fours and 21 sixes. His highest score is 60 not out. In the List A T20 format, he has played 14 matches, scoring 311 runs with a commendable average of 38.87 and a top score of 76 not out. Additionally, his bowling record in List A includes 14 wickets in 22 matches, with an economy rate of 5.81. Turning Point The selection for the IPL marked a significant turning point in Nitish Kumar Reddy's career. After his impressive performances in first-class cricket, he was drafted by the Sunrisers franchise in 2023 for a base price of Rs. 20 lakhs. Though he saw limited opportunities in his debut season, the Sunrisers had specific plans for him as a finisher in the following season. In a critical match against Chennai (CSK vs SRH), Nitish was positioned in the lower middle order and scored 14 runs off 8 balls, contributing to his team's victory. Encouraged by his potential, the Sunrisers management promoted him up the batting order in a subsequent match against Punjab. Taking full advantage of this opportunity, Nitish quickly scored a half-century, amassing 64 runs from 37 balls, which included 4 fours and 5 sixes, proving invaluable to his team. This performance notably enhanced his visibility on the national stage and became a pivotal moment in his cricketing journey. IPL Performance So far, in the IPL, Nitish Kumar Reddy has played 10 matches, scoring 239 runs at an average of 47.80 and a strike rate of 154.23, including two half-centuries. These statistics are all from this season. Though he played only two matches in the previous season, his bowling was limited. Reviewing his IPL bowling stats, he has taken 3 wickets in 9 matches, conceding 124 runs for 73 runs scored against him, with best bowling figures of 2/17. Future Team India All-Rounder There has always been a demand for pace all-rounders in Team India. After Hardik Pandya, the BCCI is on the lookout for a suitable pace all-rounder. Observers analyzing Nitish's batting style, variety in bowling, and dynamic fielding suggest that he is a suitable candidate for this role. Consistent performance in tournaments and maintaining fitness could soon see Nitish donning the Team India jersey. Sports experts predict that Nitish will evolve as a future all-rounder for Team India.

However, the emergence of Tilak Varma (Telugu IPL Players) has shifted that narrative. This young cricketer has demonstrated his prowess in the IPL and while playing for Team India, showcasing his capabilities not only in batting but also in taking key wickets occasionally with his bowling.

He also played well in the 2019-20 Vijay Hazare Trophy, scoring 180 runs in 5 matches. His performances in the Under 19 World Cup in 2020 and the Vijay Hazare Trophy in 2021-22 caught the attention of IPL franchises. https://twitter.com/JioCinema/status/1782432666161123633 IPL Performance During the 2022 IPL auction, the Mumbai Indians acquired Tilak Varma. Starting with a base price of Rs. 20 lakhs, he was ultimately purchased for Rs. 1.7 crores. In just his second appearance of that season, Tilak made a striking impact by scoring 61 runs off 31 balls.

His father, Mohammed Ghouse, drove an auto for a living. Siraj did not receive any formal coaching during his childhood. He practiced his bowling at the local Eidgah Maidan.

Since then, Siraj has been a key bowler for RCB. As of now, he has played 89 IPL matches, taking 86 wickets with an economy rate of 8.63. Team India Performance Following his IPL stint, Siraj was directly picked for the India-A team, where coach Rahul Dravid further honed his skills. In a one-off unofficial Test during the South Africa-A tour, he took five wickets (5/103). He performed commendably in matches against South Africa-A, Afghanistan-A, and New Zealand-A, representing India-A. These performances led to his selection for the Indian team for the T20 series against New Zealand in 2017. On September 17, 2023, in the Asia Cup final in Colombo against Sri Lanka, Mohammed Siraj took 5 wickets in 16 balls, demonstrating his prowess.

    Sopathulu OTT Review: A Heartfelt Tale of Childhood Friendship Amidst the Pandemic
    Cast: Bhanu Prakash, Srujan, Mani Egurla, Mohan Bhagath, Ravinder Bommakanti, Anjayya Milkuri, Padma, and others. Written and Directed by: Ananth Vardhan Music by: Sanjeet Erramilli Cinematography by: Muthyala Sunil Editor: Venkat Reddy Producer: Vinod Anantoju OTT Platform: ETV Win ETV Win, a leading OTT platform, has been bringing a series of interesting films and web series recently. As part of this lineup, they introduced 'Sopathulu' to the streaming world. This film, set against the backdrop of student friendships, has made its way to OTT. How is this film centered around two children? What is the bond between these friends? Let's find out in this review. What is the Story About? Chintu (Master Bhanu Prakash) and Guddu (Srujan) are best friends who are inseparable. An unexpected event, COVID-19, forces them to part ways. Due to the lockdown and lack of work, Guddu's family moves back to their hometown from Mahabubabad. Guddu's departure leaves Chintu feeling lonely and isolated. Despite their young age, Chintu makes extraordinary efforts to meet his friend, and on the other side, Guddu also struggles to reunite with his buddy. Will they meet again? Did Chintu's brother's dream of becoming a photographer come true? To know more, one must watch the film. Performance Analysis Although there are few characters, each actor delivers a satisfying performance. Master Bhanu Prakash, as Chintu, captivates with his timing and brings laughter. Srujan, as Guddu, also impresses in his performance. Their acting feels very natural and the entire story revolves around them. Mohan Bhagath, known from 'C/o Kancharapalem', plays a significant role and makes his presence felt adequate. Mani Egurla, Anusha Ramesh, Anjimama, and others perform well in their respective roles as per the story's requirements. Direction Director Ananth Vardhan has beautifully portrayed the friendship of two young boys against the backdrop of COVID-19 and lockdown. He visually illustrates the struggles middle-class families faced during the pandemic. Starting the story slowly with the background of Chintu and Guddu's families, the director gradually builds interest. The struggles faced by Guddu due to the lack of a smartphone for online classes are touching. The portrayal of Chintu's brother as a modern-day youth is relatable and engaging. The climax is also satisfying. However, the film lacks commercial elements, predictable plot progression, and sometimes takes too long to introduce characters, which can be seen as drawbacks. Technical Aspects Technically, the cinematography is good, and the background music is also appealing. The editor has efficiently fulfilled his responsibilities. The production values are apt for the scale of the film. Plus Points - Child actors' performances - Emotional depth - Music Minus Points - Lack of commercial elements - Predictable storyline Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 3/5

    35 Chinna Katha Kaadu Review: A Heartfelt Tale of Family, Education, and Triumph with Stellar Performances
    35 Chinna Katha Kaadu Review: A Heartfelt Tale of Family, Education, and Triumph with Stellar Performances
    Cast: Nivetha Thomas, Priyadarshi, Vishwadev R, Gauthami, Bhagyaraj, Krishna Teja, Abhay, Ananya, and others Screenplay and Direction: Nandakishore Imani Music: Vivek Sagar Cinematography: Niketh Bommireddy Editing: T.C. Prasanna Presented by: Rana Daggubati Producers: Srujan, Siddharth Release Date: 09-06-2024 Starring Nivetha Thomas, Vishwadev R, and Priyadarshi in lead roles, the film '35 Chinna Katha Kaadu' is directed by Nandakishore Imani. The movie, produced by prominent actor Rana Daggubati, features Nivetha Thomas in a mother's role for the first time. The trailer, already released, has heightened expectations. The movie is set to release on September 6 in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam, but a special premiere was held for the press one day earlier. How did the film turn out? Did Nivetha’s new venture succeed? Let's examine in this review. Plot Prasad (Vishwadev) and Saraswati (Nivetha Thomas) are a middle-class couple. For Saraswati, her husband and two sons, Arun and Varun, are her world. Arun, the elder son, studies in the sixth grade and struggles with math. His logical questions often leave teachers without answers. As a result, the math teacher Chanakya (Priyadarshi) challenges him by setting the bar at achieving at least 35 marks in math to stay in school, labeling him "Zero" for his continuous poor performance. This forces Arun to sit in his younger brother’s class. How does Arun handle this situation? How does he become a hero in his class? What does his mother Saraswati, who failed tenth grade, do to help her son understand math? Did Arun manage to score the necessary 35 marks? That forms the rest of the story. Performances Nivetha Thomas excels as Saraswati, embodying the role of a mother of two, a wife, and an educator with finesse. Her expressions and emotional depth stand out. Priyadarshi, as the math teacher Chanakya, delivers a memorable performance, portraying a strict yet caring teacher. The dynamic between Nivetha and Chanakya is one of the pillars of this film. Vishwadev does well as the husband. The two children playing Arun and Varun captivate with their performances. Bhagyaraj, Krishna Teja, and others contribute significantly in other key roles. Direction Director Nandakishore Imani crafted '35 Chinna Katha Kaadu' with a message-oriented approach, highlighting flaws in the educational system. He also explores how teachers should interact with students and the dynamics between spouses. The first half is filled with humor and family emotions, which are engaging. The chemistry between Nivetha Thomas and Vishwadev, portraying middle-class life, is well depicted. The school environment and the challenges faced by students are convincingly shown. Emotional scenes in the family in the second half are touching. However, the film’s pace can be slow at times, and the lack of commercial elements and some dialogues might not hit the mark with all viewers. Technically In the technical department, the music and cinematography are well-executed. Vivek Sagar’s background score is a significant plus, enhancing the emotional scenes. The editing is decent, though a tighter cut in some dragging scenes would have been beneficial. The production values are high, reflecting a no-compromise approach in terms of quality. Plus Points - Engaging narrative - Performances by Nivetha and Priyadarshi - Emotional scenes Minus Points - Slow narration - Lack of high points in the story Telugu.yousay.tv Rating : 3/5

    Prabhas New Movie: Exciting Update... Another Film Replaces 'Spirit'!
    Following the blockbuster success of 'Kalki 2898 AD', Prabhas' popularity has reached new heights. There is growing anticipation nationwide for his upcoming projects. Prabhas is currently collaborating with director Maruthi on a film titled 'Raja Saab' and is also expected to appear in the sequel to 'Kalki', directed by Nag Ashwin. Additionally, renowned directors Prashanth Neel and Sandeep Reddy Vanga are lined up for future collaborations with him. It was widely expected that Sandeep Reddy Vanga's project would be Prabhas' next film to start production. However, recent buzz in Tollywood indicates that Prabhas may greenlight a different film instead. Let’s explore the details. Director Preference! Fans and others were expecting Prabhas to collaborate with Sandeep Reddy Vanga after the success of 'Kalki 2898 AD'. However, it appears that director Hanu Raghavapudi, known for 'Sita Ramam', has stepped in instead. Prabhas had previously committed to a project with Hanu Raghavapudi, now reportedly titled 'Fauji'. Given the extensive pre-production required for 'Spirit', Prabhas has opted to proceed with 'Fauji', sparking significant buzz in the industry. Director Hanu Raghavapudi is making preparations to begin shooting in October. Prabhas as a Soldier! The upcoming film 'Fauji' with Hanu Raghavapudi is set to be a period drama, unfolding against a 1940s British era backdrop. Mrunal Thakur is likely to appear as the heroine opposite Prabhas. 'Fauji' meaning soldier, Prabhas is expected to portray a military officer, stirring significant excitement among fans. The film is set to be produced on a grand scale by Mythri Movie Makers, with Vishal Chandrashekhar providing the music. Official updates related to this movie are expected soon. Raja Saab's Big Plan! Prabhas is collaborating with director Maruthi on the upcoming film 'Raja Saab'. An exciting development has recently emerged regarding the movie. Director Maruthi is considering remixing a classic hit song for the film, which interestingly is not a Telugu song but a superhit Hindi song from the 1980s. The music director, Thaman, is currently in discussions with the filmmakers, who are considering three songs, with one expected to be finalized soon. The iconic Bollywood song 'O Khaike Paan Banaras Wala' might be remade, generating significant buzz in cinema circles. I'll Show My Best Work Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for his bold and daring directing style, is currently immersed in pre-production for 'Spirit'. With Prabhas confirmed in the lead role, casting for other parts is still underway. Recently, Sandeep shared insights about what to expect from 'Spirit', sparking significant interest online. He stated, "Some say 'Animal' is my best work. You'll see my best in 'Spirit'," raising anticipation among fans. Many are already predicting that 'Spirit' will eclipse the success of Sandeep's previous hits like 'Arjun Reddy', 'Kabir Singh', and 'Animal'. Social media is abuzz with predictions of another blockbuster for Prabhas, potentially earning up to Rs. 1000 crores. Prabhas as a Powerful Police Officer Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has plans to uniquely craft 'Spirit', not focusing on affluent family dramas like in 'Arjun Reddy' or 'Animal', but setting it against a middle-class backdrop. Past comments by Sandeep suggest that Prabhas will play a powerful police officer, an avatar never seen before. His characterization and mannerisms are expected to bring something fresh to the screen. The script for 'Spirit' is nearing its final stages, with filming likely to commence around October or November, as buzzed in film circles.
