Ravi Teja's 'Eagle' Movie Review: A Soaring Action Thriller or a Missed Flight? 

Cast: Ravi Teja, Kavya Thapar, Anupama Parameswaran, Madhu, Vinay Rai, Navdeep, Srinivas Avasarala, Praneetha Patnaik, Ajay Ghosh, Nitin Mehta, Srinivas Reddy, and others Director: Karthik Ghattamaneni Music: Bheems Ceciroleo Cinematography: Karthik Ghattamaneni, Camil Polak, Karma Chawla Producers: People Media Factory Release Date: 09-02-2024 In Karthik Ghattamaneni's direction, Ravi Teja stars as the protagonist in the action thriller 'Eagle,' alongside Anupama Parameswaran and Kavya Thapar as the female leads. The film, produced by TG Vishwa Prasad and featuring music by Bheems Ceciroleo, had stepped back at the last moment from the Sankranti race and has now been released to the audience today (February 9). So, how is the movie? Does it add another hit to Ravi Teja’s account? Did Anupama and Kavya manage to enchant the audience with their beauty? Let's take a look. Story In a tribal village in the Talakona forest, local inhabitants consider Sahadev Varma (Ravi Teja) as a deity. Unexpectedly, one day, he goes missing. Crime investigative journalist Nalini Rao (Anupama Parameswaran), who comes to the village to investigate a matter, comes to know about Sahadev Varma. Following her article about his disappearance, the CBI gets involved. Who is Sahadev Varma really? Where did he go? Why did the CBI get involved after reading about him in the paper? What happened to Sahadev's wife, Rachana (Kavya)? What is the hero's connection with illegal arms? To uncover these matters, one must watch the entire movie. Performance Analysis Ravi Teja, as Mass Maharaj, has portrayed the role of Sahadev Varma distinctly different from his routine characters. Despite having fewer dialogues, he impresses with his stylish looks and expressions. Anupama Parameswaran has got a significant role, and although there's not much scope for acting, she is visible throughout the movie. Vinay Rai, in his limited role, performed within his character's scope. The roles of Avasarala Srinivas, Madhubala, Mirchi Kiran, and others, though limited, are captivating. Ajay Ghosh, Srinivas Reddy, and Amrutham Appaji have managed to entertain with their comedy track. Direction Analysis Director Karthik Ghattamaneni has crafted the movie around an engaging concept, focusing on gun culture and current circumstances with a compelling screenplay. The elevation scenes given to Ravi Teja, reminiscent of KGF levels, are well done. The director has presented Ravi Teja in the most stylish avatar, satisfying his fans with a full treat. However, those expecting Ravi Teja's signature comedy might be disappointed as the movie showcases him in a serious look throughout. Dividing the movie into chapters may confuse the audience a bit. Although some scenes seem illogical, the overall movie keeps the audience engaged. Technically... Moving on to the technical team, Dev John's sound designing and background score are more captivating than his songs. The songs, like "Aadu Macha" and "Gallanthe," are not just pleasing to listen to but also visually appealing. Karthik's cinematography is commendable. The dialogues written by Mani Babu are engaging. Furthermore, the production values are of a high standard. The work of the art department is notably praiseworthy.

Sohel in Tears Asking Why People Aren't Watching His Movie?

Sohel, who captivated the audience with his performance in the Telugu reality show Bigg Boss Season 4, went on to act as the hero in several films after the show. Despite these films receiving average feedback, his latest movie 'Bootcut Balaraju' was released in theaters on Friday (February 2nd). Sohel's emotional comments following the movie's release went viral on the internet, as he opened up about his feelings, visibly upset. While some supported Sohel's remarks, many disagreed, leading to various comments. Let's delve into the matter. 'Why won't you go watch my movie?' Despite 'Bootcut Balaraju' being a film with a good storyline, Sohel was emotionally affected by the lack of audience turnout. "Don't people want to watch family movies anymore? I make movies that can be watched with brothers, sisters, and all family members. This movie ('Bootcut Balaraju') is such a film. Everyone who has seen the movie enjoyed it. Please go watch my movie. Why aren't you going to the theaters? What happened? Didn't you all support 'Sohel, Sohel' when I was in Bigg Boss? Why aren't you supporting me now?" Sohel questioned everyone. https://twitter.com/i/status/1753489890397098009 Netizens' Reaction is Just This! With even Bigg Boss host Nagarjuna's movies lacking viewers, netizens comment, "Who will watch your movie, Sohel Saab?" Many netizens criticize Sohel's demand for audience attendance at his movie, suggesting that such statements might deter even those considering going. Netizens argue that even star hero Pawan Kalyan's content-rich movies are struggling with attendance, reminiscing how audiences didn't turn up for Mahesh's 'Guntur Mirchi' either, as stated by the producer back then. A netizen suggested that Sohel should change his approach, questioning, "Did we ask you to make a movie? How can everyone become a hero and ask us to watch their movie?" One commented on the necessity of patience for success in the industry, noting how even well-backed actors like Bellamkonda Sreenivas and Akhil Akkineni haven't scored a definitive hit yet, asking if they've ever publicly lamented this. Another advised Sohel to reflect on why audiences might not be watching his movies, noting that neither crying nor threatening will work. The Cause of Sohel's Frustration! After exiting Bigg Boss, Sohel worked on three movies - 'Lucky Lakshman', 'Organic Mama.. Hybrid Alludu', and 'Mr. Pregnant'. However, the lack of significant success with these films pinned all his hopes on the latest 'Bootcut Balaraju', for which Sohel is also the producer. The pre-release event faced financial constraints, leading to anchor Suma hosting it for free. Despite overcoming numerous challenges to make the film, the lack of audience support on the opening day left Sohel devastated as he expressed his heartfelt emotions.

Funny Emotional Scenes which make you laugh.

Tollywood stands out from other film industries due to its distinctive approach. Directors frequently focus on crafting emotional scenes, incorporating deep sentiment and emotive moments to appeal to family audiences. However, these scenes can occasionally miss their mark. When they stray too far from reality, they often become fodder for trolls. There are many examples of this phenomenon in Tollywood, with numerous memes and trolls emerging post-release. Let's explore some of these instances in this special report. Sarrainodu Directed by Boyapati Srinu and featuring Allu Arjun, 'Sarrainodu' achieved blockbuster status upon its release. Nonetheless, one specific scene attracted widespread mockery. Netizens remarked that this emotional scene inadvertently provoked laughter. In this scene, the heroine, Rakul Preet Singh, is pursued by thugs, and she tearfully exclaims that she has been on the run for four days, prompting the audience to question the plausibility of her claim. https://youtu.be/BTG1U_-sl-o?si=8SMhJezyIsBEMKG- Vinaya Vidheya Rama 'Vinaya Vidheya Rama', starring Ram Charan and directed by Boyapati, experienced its share of trolling. A particular scene that shows Charan standing on a train en route to Bihar received extensive criticism. Additionally, an emotional moment during the song "Thandaane Thandaane" also drew mockery. In this scene, during a serious family meal, the hero's brother, Prashanth, is suddenly embraced tightly and cried over by his wife, Sneha, instead of being handed water, leading netizens to question the logic of the situation. https://youtu.be/GKrpi9NX6LY?si=78kGcH01QiUR6oej Aravinda Sametha In 'Aravinda Sametha', directed by Trivikram and starring Jr. NTR with Pooja Hegde as the heroine, Hegde faced extensive trolling on social media post-release. One scene in particular, where the villain kidnaps both Pooja Hegde and her brother, became a target for ridicule. During this scene, Hegde secretly calls NTR, who warns her that the villains might kill her, leading to an overly dramatic crying scene. This scene was heavily mocked online, with many viewers commenting that they found her expressions unintentionally humorous. https://youtu.be/uOTclNEcCAE?si=VaLMevP8Ir2yaLA1 Mogudu Directed by Krishna Vamsi and starring Gopichand and Taapsee, 'Mogudu' featured a scene just before the interval that was heavily trolled for its overdramatic nature. In this scene, during an engagement ceremony, the heroine's mother, Roja, slaps a relative of the hero, sparking a major altercation involving Roja, the hero's father Rajendra Prasad, Gopichand, and Taapsee. This confrontation escalates to the point where the couple decides to file for divorce. Many viewers criticized the scene for its theatricality, commenting that it felt more like a comedy than a serious drama. https://youtu.be/tSph1y0x9BA?si=PQvdooUFVQPxvKpX Attarintiki Daredi In 'Attarintiki Daredi', a collaboration between Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram, the climax was designed to evoke strong emotions. In this scene, Pawan Kalyan attempts to express the deep love his family holds for his aunt, who left home when she was young. However, his tearful delivery did not resonate with many viewers. Several audience members found the emotional display humorous rather than touching, and a photo of Pawan Kalyan crying became a viral sensation on social media. https://youtu.be/HsV7k8m0QU0?si=B2YwpApzSRLAHGDO Srimanthudu In 'Srimanthudu,' a hit film featuring Mahesh Babu and directed by Koratala Siva, the protagonist commits to improving his father's village. In one scene, as a villager starts to share their struggles with Mahesh, senior actor Rajendra Prasad cuts him off, commenting that he's only speaking out of hope upon seeing a potential opportunity. This poignant moment not only resonated with audiences but also became popular as a meme on social media, where it remains widely recognized. https://youtu.be/V_52TOrTqKI?si=xJkICf7HF-JiFikn Happy 'Happy,' featuring Allu Arjun (Bunny) and Genelia, did not perform well at the box office. In the film's climax, Bunny delivers an emotional declaration of his love for the heroine while locked up in a police station. Moved by their love, a police officer decides to release her. However, Bunny's performance in this scene was widely ridiculed by his critics, who found the overly sentimental moment laughable and expressed online that they found it difficult to watch. https://youtu.be/H3h5fkT5wG4?si=sufvXBa7KErXPRM7 Mirchi In 'Mirchi,' featuring Prabhas and directed by Koratala, the hero visits the villain's house intending to instigate change. During this episode, the village elder Nagineedu shows how much he is respected by the villagers. This respect sets the stage for a comedic moment when Nagineedu and Prabhas attempt to re-enroll a girl in school, halting the car in front of her house to call her out. This scene, along with a subsequent discussion with the college principal, became fodder for online trolling, with memers using these moments to entertain netizens. https://youtu.be/8hbZeVdLOKU?si=njdIZGjrVoE55Iv1

Hanuman Movie Review: Teja Sajja Shines as a Superhero – Is 'Hanuman' a Hit?

Cast: Teja Sajja, Varalakshmi Sarathkumar, Amritha Aiyer, Vinay Rai, Samuthirakani, Vennela Kishore, Raj Deepak Shetty, Getup Srinu, Satya Director: Prashanth Varma Music: Gowra Hari, Anudeep Dev, Krishna Saurabh Cinematography: Shivendra Editing: Saibaba Talari Producer: Niranjan Reddy Under the direction of Prashanth Varma, 'Hanuman' features Teja Sajja in the lead role. The film, competing with major releases during Sankranti, managed to attract attention despite its modest budget. From its teaser to the trailer, the film raised expectations among the audience. This review will delve into whether 'Hanuman' lives up to these expectations and how its superhero antics have captivated viewers. Story: Set in Saurashtra, Michael (played by Vinay Rai) dreams of becoming a superhero from a young age, even eliminating his parents who he perceives as obstacles. Meanwhile, in a small village called Anjanadri, Hanumanthu (Teja Sajja), known for his mischievous antics, suddenly acquires the powers of Hanuman. How did he get these powers? How did they come to exist on Earth? How does Michael learn about Hanumanthu's powers, and how does Hanumanthu overcome the danger posed by Michael to the villagers? The roles of Vibhishana (Samuthirakani) and Anjamma (Varalakshmi) also play a significant part in the story. Performances: Teja Sajja impresses as Hanumanthu, seamlessly transitioning from a common village boy to a superhero. His performance in action and emotional scenes stands out. Amritha Aiyer as Meenakshi adds beauty to her significant role. Varalakshmi Sarathkumar surprises in the second half, and Vinay Rai captivates as a stylish villain. Samuthirakani's portrayal of Vibhishana adds a unique attraction to the film, while the roles of Getup Srinu, Satya, Vennela Kishore, and Rakesh Master provide comic relief. Direction: Director Prashanth Varma has skillfully intertwined a superhero story with mythological elements, keeping the audience engaged throughout. He brings excitement to the narrative, especially with how the villain strives to become a superhero. The picturesque portrayal of Anjanadri village is a visual treat. The story starts slow and details some characters extensively, which might bore the audience. However, once Hanumanthu gains his superpowers, the pace picks up, leading to an exhilarating pre-intermission wrestling scene. Particularly, the action episode where Hanumanthu enters Michael's stronghold is brilliantly executed. The last 20 minutes of the climax are especially gripping. Technical Aspects: The production values of the film are commendable. Within the given budget, director Prashanth has showcased quality visuals and graphics. The combined efforts of three music directors elevate the film's background score. Shivendra Dasarathi's cinematography adds another layer of appeal, and Saibaba Talari's editing is adequate. Highlights: Engaging story backgroundTeja Sajja's performanceGraphics and background music Drawbacks: Slow-paced scenes in parts Rating: 3.5/5

‘Mem Famous’ Movie Review, is it another ‘Jathi Ratnalu’?

Starring: Sumanth Prabhas, Siri Rashi, Muralidhar Goud, Anji, Narendra Ravi, Maurya Chaudhary Director: Sumanth Prabhas Music by: Kalyan Naik Cinematography: Shyam Dupati Producers: Chandru Manoharan, Anurag Reddy, Sarath Chandra, Surya Chaudhary In recent times, Tollywood filmmakers have been exploring the backdrop of Telangana, with movies like 'Balagam' and 'Jathi Ratnalu' garnering significant attention. Adding to this wave is the much-anticipated release, 'Mem Famous,' featuring Sumanth Prabhas in the lead role, who also directs the film. Produced by Chai Bisket and Lahari Films, renowned for their super hit movie "Writer Padma Bhushan," 'Mem Famous' has generated considerable buzz through its captivating trailer and extensive promotional efforts involving Tollywood stars. Now, let's examine whether 'Mem Famous' lives up to the lofty expectations it has set after its release on May 26. The Story: Set in a Telangana village, Mai (Sumanth Prabhas), Durga (Mani Egurla), and Bali (Maurya Chaudhary) are close friends who engage in lively banter during the day and revel in their nightly escapades. Mai is in love with Maunika (Saarya Laxman . Bali, too, finds affection for another girl in the village. However, their lives take an unexpected turn when their joint venture, a tent house, succumbs to a fire caused by a short circuit. Undeterred, they begin producing videos for their YouTube channel. How do these videos impact the village, and what twists unfold in the love stories of Mai and Bali? To find out, you must witness the story unfold on the silver screen. How is it? While the initial sequences depicting the trio's repeated mischiefs in the village panchayat may appear somewhat monotonous, it does raise questions about the presence of a compelling storyline. However, as the story unfolds, the friends' decision to establish a tent house and the subsequent love complications, combined with the fire incident, create a sense of intrigue, particularly in the second half. The incorporation of YouTube videos brings forth comedic moments that elicit genuine laughter. The romantic track between Sumanth Prabhas and Sarya Laxman resonates with the younger audience, showcasing Sumanth's impressive acting skills. Moreover, the performances of Mani, Sarya Laxman, Mani Egurla, Muralidhar, and the entire cast deserve commendation for their admirable portrayals in their respective roles. The Performances Sumanth Prabhas' acting falls short of expectations, leaving room for improvement. Mani and Maurya deliver performances within the range of their characters, while Anji, Muralidhar Goud, and Kiran Maccha leave a lasting impression. Shivnandan's role as the lipstick spoiler adds to the comedy. However, some unnecessary scenes clutter the movie's overall impact. Direction and Execution While experiencing 'Mem Famous,' one cannot help but draw parallels to films like 'Pellichoopulu' and 'Jatiratnalu.' Sumanth Prabhas showcases his storytelling prowess through an engaging narrative, yet the execution on screen falls short. The story lacks the necessary strength and often adheres to conventional tropes. Additionally, the inclusion of scenes addressing the struggles of farmers feels somewhat out of sync. Despite a few moments of freshness and humor, the overall impact of the film is underwhelming. However, it can still provide entertainment if approached with a lighthearted perspective. Technical Aspects Shyam Dupati's cinematography stands out with impressive visuals. The background music surpasses the songs composed by Kalyan Nayak. The production values are average, suggesting that the film may have had a generous budget. Pros Comedy elements induce laughter. Engaging background music. Intriguing scenes leading up to the interval. Cons A routine and predictable storyline. Pacing issues that result in stretches of dull moments. Songs that fail to leave a lasting impact. Rating:3/5 In conclusion, 'Mem Famous' attempts to showcase the essence of Telangana's cinematic backdrop but falls short of delivering a truly original and compelling narrative. Despite its shortcomings, it manages to offer some entertaining sequences that may appeal to certain viewers.

Preserving the past for today's generation, the #90s A MiddleClass Biopic honestly portrays the good, the bad, the joys, and the problems of that era. It encapsulates the mid-2000s in a timeline, beautifully depicting the emotional journeys of its characters. The web series doesn’t have a grand story to tell, but it wonderfully captures everyday life in each character’s journey. It brings to life the silly Sunday moments, festivals, and holiday enjoyment. This is what life is truly about, isn’t it? We live for these moments! Often, we do things with a certain agenda, but it's the unplanned activities that constitute our life. #90s A MiddleClass Biopic does just that - brings those relatable aspects closer to us. As you watch the series, every scene resonates with real-life experiences. Director Aditya Hasan has beautifully crafted these moments. He has excellently portrayed sensitive subjects related to women in the show. Now, the #90s A MiddleClass Biopic is trending. Coming from the ETV Win platform, this web series has been rated an impressive 9.6 by IMDB users. Such a high rating hasn’t been seen in recent times for a web series. The series brilliantly showcases the middle-class atmosphere of the 90s. Every character embodies the trials and tribulations of that era. Especially for those born in the 90s, this series will strike a chord. On social media, many posts are seen related to scenes from this web series, showing how much the audience has connected with the characters. Let’s analyze the authenticity of the characters in the series. Chandrashekhar (Shivaji): A mathematics teacher in a government school, he embodies the middle-class mindset. Living an ordinary life with his wife Rani (Vasuki), children Raghu (Prashant), Divya (Vasanthika), and Aditya (Rohan), he is strict about their education, even sending them to private schools despite being a government teacher. Chandrashekhar dreams of Raghu topping the district in his 10th grade and is very frugal with expenses. He works hard, dreaming about his children's future. Throughout the movie, his character represents the thoughts of an average father from the 90s. His interactions with his children bring both smiles and tears, portraying the struggles and concerns of a father of a girl in a middle-class family. He thinks hard about providing for his children while being strict about their education. https://twitter.com/sunny5boy/status/1745383429808517544?s=20 Rani (Vasuki): In this web series, Vasuki Anand delivers a remarkable performance as Rani, portraying the typical middle-class housewife. She embodies the role of a constantly family-oriented woman, efficiently managing the modest income provided by her husband. She strives to remind her husband of his responsibilities and to reduce unnecessary expenses. The fears and anxieties of a middle-class housewife, especially those with a daughter, are vividly portrayed in her character. She fulfills her children's desires while putting a stop to unreasonable aspirations, vividly presenting the lifestyle of that era. https://twitter.com/Ga_ne_sh_5/status/1745774847375069388?s=20 Aditya: Aditya, portrayed by Mouli, is arguably the real hero of this film. At a young age, he exhibits exceptional acting skills. Watching him, one is reminded of the typical young boy in every household. Boys in families usually grow up pampered and indulged. Their mischiefs, whether it's refusing to eat food they dislike or involving other children in play, are amusing. Aditya's lies to his parents when he scores low marks are hilariously relatable. His antics when relatives visit, especially how he interacts with the visiting children, remind viewers of the 90s era. Particularly, the mental struggles that young children face are reflected in Aditya's character. On social media, scenes involving Aditya and Chandrashekhar are particularly trending. https://twitter.com/Iharish999/status/1744674325352132686?s=20 Prashant & Divya: Prashant, a high school student, exhibits the typical mindset of a teenage boy. Despite his desire to play outside, he constantly studies to fulfill his father's expectations, striving to rank first in his 10th grade for his father's sake. The playful scenes between him and his younger brother Aditya are heartwarmingly funny. As for Divya, she represents how a girl grows up in a middle-class family, developing amidst her parents' fears and conforming to their expectations. https://twitter.com/_Shivatweets/status/1745269317112119543?s=20 https://telugu.yousay.tv/en/90s-web-series-review-a-quintessential-middle-class-family-series.html
