Entangling Desires: The Bold Journey of 'Mix Up' in the OTT Space

Movies with bold content often attract a dedicated audience eager to explore such narratives. In the Tollywood industry, films with an 'A' certification are uncommon. However, the rise of OTT platforms has facilitated easier access to these types of films, allowing them to reach a wider audience. Currently, a Telugu film known for its bold themes is generating significant buzz on an OTT platform, capturing the attention of viewers. Let's dive into which movie this is and where you can stream it. What's the name of the movie?

Movie Review: Anni Manchi Sakunamule - Comedy, Emotional Scenes, but...

Anni Manchi Sakunamule is the latest film starring Santosh Shobhan and Malavika Nair. Directed by Nandini Reddy and produced by Priyanka Dutt under the banner of Swapna Cinemas, this movie has generated significant anticipation with its promotional content, songs, and trailer. Released on May 18, the film carries high expectations. So, how does it fare? Did Nandini Reddy deliver another hit? And did Shobhan impress with his performance? Let's dive into this complete review. The Story The film's story begins in a maternity hospital, where Naresh and Rajendra Prasad, longtime family friends, become unwittingly involved in a baby mix-up. The doctors accidentally hand over the wrong babies to each other. Meanwhile, a dispute arises between Naresh and Rajendra Prasad regarding the inheritance of property from their grandparents. As Arya and Rishi (the babies) grow up, their property problems escalate. How do they resolve the conflict? How do they discover the truth about the switched children? That forms the rest of the story. Performances Santosh Shobhan can be credited for perfecting his comedy timing. He excels in portraying a carefree young man, showcasing improvement compared to his previous films. Malavika Nair also impresses with her acting range. The chemistry between Malavika and Shobhan is commendable, making their screen presence enjoyable. The film's main strength lies in its talented cast. Seasoned actors like Rajendra Prasad, Rao Ramesh, Naresh, Gauthami, and Shaukaru Janaki leave a mark with their performances, particularly in the emotional scenes. Technical Aspects Nandini Reddy labeled the film as "Family Entertainment," but unfortunately, she falls short in presenting a simple family drama through Anni Manchi Shakunamule. The director struggles to bring the intended story to life on screen, resulting in certain slow-paced scenes. Apart from the emotional and comedy sequences, the movie tends to become boring, losing the audience's interest. The songs composed by Mickey J. Meyer fail to impress, and the background music feels underwhelming. However, the cinematography stands out, delivering visually rich and captivating scenes. Pros Santosh Shobhan's acting Comedy moments Emotional scenes Cons Prolonged sequences Boredom-inducing scenes Lackluster songs Underwhelming background music Rating: 2.5/5

Review of "Rules Ranjan": A Mix of Highs and Lows

Cast and Crew: Starring: Kiran Abbavaram, Neha Shetty, Meher Chahal, and others Direction: Ratinam Krishna Producing Team: Divyana Lavanya & Murali Krishna Vemuri Music Composition: Amrish Cinematography: Dilip Kumar Kiran Abbavaram, although relatively fresh to Tollywood with merely 6 films under his belt, has carved a niche for himself, especially amongst the youth. He’s been labeled a safe bet for producers, assuring them against incurring losses. Kiran, after entertaining his audience with "Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha" and "Meter" this year, now graces the silver screen with "Rules Ranjan". Let’s dive into the review and see how he and the sizable cast fared! Storyline: A Dive into Love and Rules Meet Mano Ranjan (played by Kiran Abbavaram), a software engineer bound by stringent rules in life. An unexpected job transfer hauls him to Mumbai, where he rekindles a friendship with Sana (Neha Shetty), an old friend. Gradually, love blossoms and Mano lets his rules slide, one by one, for Sana. But a twist unfolds as Sana discovers that her marriage has been fixed. What ensues? Does Mano secure his love? Or not? The movie unveils these intriguing aspects. Movie Pulse: A Gentle Flow with Unexpected Turns Despite its uncomplicated plot, the movie ensures a consistent comedy track. The initial half meanders at a slow pace until Vennela Kishore steps in, lacing the narrative with bursts of laughter through impeccable comic timing. While the first half juggles between a love track and comedy, the second half could have benefited from additional comedic elements. A few unnecessary cinematic elevations and certain dreary scenes may dampen the audience’s spirit, although Hyper Aadi, Viva Harsha, and Vennela Kishore’s comedic antics in the latter part infuse some entertainment. Performances: A Canvas of Skills and Entertainment Kiran Abbavaram brings something fresh to the table, shedding his previous monotone acting criticisms and immersing himself into Mano Ranjan’s character convincingly. Neha Shetty, not only adds a dash of glamour to the film but also impresses with her performance, especially shining through the song "Sammohanuda". The comedy ensemble, including Hyper Aadi and Vennela Kishore, brought hearty laughter, serving as assets to the film. The rest of the cast, including Viva Harsha, Makarand Deshpande, and Subbaraju, bring justice to their roles and add depth to the storyline. Directorial Lens: A Scope for Enhancement Ratinam Krishna, despite wielding a simple story, somewhat misses striking a lasting impression. An inkling persists that the vast cast could have been better leveraged and that the story would have benefited from added attention. The initial comedy track left audiences wanting its continuity in the latter half and fewer unneeded cinematic elevations. Technical Side From a technical standpoint, "Rules Ranjan" showcases commendable production values. Amrish’s music compositions weave melodious threads through the film, while Dilip Kumar’s cinematography may need further refinement. Strengths and Weaknesses: Pros: Initial Comedy Track Neha Shetty's Glamour Cons: Unnecessary Elevations Second Half Dynamics Wrap Up: A Glimpse of Laughter Amidst Lows In conclusion, "Rules Ranjan" does spark some chuckles here and there but hovers around being a moderate comedy entertainer. Rating: 2.5/5

Bhagavanth Kesari Review: Balayya’s Emotional Brilliance

Nandamuri Natasimham Balayya’s latest offering, 'Bhagavanth Kesari', opened in theaters today, exuding the sentimental vibes of a father-daughter relationship. Following his streak of hits like Akhanda and Veerasimha Reddy, Balakrishna collaborates with Anil Ravipudi, creating heightened anticipation among audiences. But does the movie live up to these expectations? Let’s delve into the review. Starring: Balakrishna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sreeleela, Arjun Rampal, Sarathkumar Director: Anil Ravipudi Producer: Sahu Garapati, Harish Peddi Cinematography: C.Ramprasad Music: Thaman, Release date: October 19 Story: Bhagwant Kesari finds himself in jail due to some unforeseen circumstances and is given responsibility by the jailer. He's asked to protect the jailer’s daughter from dangerous people. Kesari makes it his mission to strengthen her defenses, but the girl, Vizzy Papa (Sreeleela), seems uninterested and wishes to be left alone. In a defining moment, Balayya steps up against villains threatening the girl, leading to unexpected developments. What exactly are these twists? What animosity do the villains hold against the jailer? Did Kesari fulfill his promise? Find out the answers by watching the movie in theaters. How is it? The film promises a mix of comedy and poignant emotional scenes between Balakrishna and Sreeleela, striking a chord with the audience. The film doesn’t quite mirror Balayya’s previous cinematic renditions, oscillating between light-hearted and emotionally charged moments, predominantly spotlighting the father-daughter sentiment. Who did it? Balakrishna, usually synonymous with action-packed performances, unveils a refreshing facet through his poignant portrayal of emotional sequences, fostering a tear-jerking cinematic experience. Sreeleela’s portrayal of Vijju breathes life into her character, promising her a landmark achievement in her nascent career. Direction: Anil Ravipudi, notable for his comedic brilliance, ventures into the realm of action emotional entertainer with Balayya, showcasing a narrative imbued with strength despite craving a touch more emotional depth. Technical Aspects: On the technical front, the film scores high with Thaman’s mellifluous music and Sriram Prasad’s captivating cinematography, although the background score seems slightly underwhelming compared to previous offerings. Strengths: Compelling emotional exchanges between Balakrishna and SreeleelaRiveting action sequencesA gripping interval Weaknesses: Initial segments that somewhat miss the markLengthy scenes in parts Conclusion: Navigating through sporadic shortcomings, the movie crafts a tapestry of emotions, primarily focusing on the father-daughter dynamic, ensuring a heartfelt connection with the audience.

Bedurulanka 2012 Movie Review: One more hit in Karthikeya's kitty?

Cast: Karthikeya, Neha Shetty, Ajay Ghosh, Raj Kumar, Srikanth Iyengar, Goparaju Ramana, LB Sriram, Satya Director: Clax Music by: Mani Sharma Production Company: Laukya Entertainments Producer: Ravindra Banerjee (Benny) Cinematography: Sai Prakash Release Date: August 25, 2023 Overview: Fronted by Kartikeya Gummakonda, 'Bedurulanka 2012' takes you through a whirlwind directed by the fresh talent, Clax. Neha Shetty adds charm as the lead actress, supported by a strong ensemble cast. Set against a village backdrop during an epoch's end, Karthikeya's confidence in this film was palpable during pre-launch events. Has it met expectations upon its release? Let's dive into this review and find out. The Plot: In the quaint village of Bedurulanka, as the year 2012 rolls in, a story begins to unfold. Picture this: Shiva Sankara Varaprasad (played by the dashing Kartikeya) finds himself in this village, having left the bustling city behind due to a job loss. His reason? He's head over heels for the lovely Neha Shetty. But wait, there's more drama. The village is abuzz with whispers of a looming apocalypse. So, a trio from this village comes up with a rather quirky solution. Their plan is that taking all the village gold, crafting a shivalingam, and then immersing it in the sacred Ganges could be the magic spell to halt the apocalypse. Interesting, right? But here's the catch: Shiva isn’t on board with this plan. And how Shiva juggles village politics and foils this plan and finally finds his love is the crux of the story. Cast Performance: Karthikeya shines once more, proving his versatility as Shiva. He brings energy and finesse, especially in action scenes. Neha Shetty, although in a brief role, captivates audiences. Ajay Ghosh delivers a memorable act, with Kota and Srikanth Iyengar leaving lasting impressions. The entire cast commendably plays their parts. Overall Movie Initiating with an apocalyptic buzz, we feel the palpable tension in Bedurulanka. The story starts off slow but picks up pace post-interval, with engaging plots and comedic elements. However, the romantic subplot between Neha and Karthikeya could've used more depth. Directorial Insights Back in 2012, whispers of the world's end and Earth's impending doom sent shockwaves of worry among many. Seizing this idea, director Klax masterfully transformed these anxieties into an entertaining cinematic experience. He artfully highlights societal issues, like exploitation in the name of religion, and adds a dash of satire. Clax's messaging is clear: live life on your terms. For a first-time director, Clax displays a promising touch. Technical Breakdown On the technical front, Mani Sharma's soundtrack is passable. The songs might not be chartbusters, but his background score strikes a chord. Sai Prakash's cinematography is stellar, and the editing sharpens the narrative. The movie boasts high production values. Highlights: Karthikeya's performance Comedic elements Cinematography Engaging background score Drawbacks: The song's Underdeveloped romantic subplot Prolonged scenes In conclusion, 'BeduruLanka 2012' offers a mix of engaging elements and potential areas of improvement. It's worth a watch for those seeking a fresh cinematic experience! Rating: 3/5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98y83GscKEI

With the success of remakes like "Vakil Saab" and "Bheemla Nayak," Pawan Kalyan brings another exciting remake to the table, based on the hit Tamil film "Vinodaya Sittam." Directed by the talented Samudrakhani, and featuring a power-packed screenplay and dialogues by Trivikram Srinivas, "Bro" aims to captivate audiences with its intriguing philosophical touch. So, let's delve into the review and see if Pawan scores a hat-trick hit with this thought-provoking movie! Story The plot follows Markandeyudu (Saitej), the responsible eldest son of a businessman. When tragedy strikes and Mark's father passes away, he finds himself shouldering the family's responsibilities. Lost in the hustle and bustle of life, Markandeyudu neglects his loved ones. Fate takes an unexpected turn when Mark meets with a fatal accident. Enter Titan (Pawan Kalyan), who arrives to escort Mark to the afterlife. But there's a twist! Titan convinces  Mark he has unfulfilled duties and needs more time on Earth to complete them. Every action Mark takes leads to unexpected consequences. How will Mark tackle these challenges? Did Titan lend a helping hand? All these answers unfold on the silver screen! https://twitter.com/captain_India_R/status/1684756208845045760?s=20 Now, let's talk about the film's essence. While the original "Vinodaya Sittam" carries a strong philosophical mood, "Bro" spices things up by blending commercial sentiments with its philosophical core. The movie conveys the intriguing concept that even God needs time, and indeed, 'Time' is greater than God. This fan-made flavor is evident right from Pawan Kalyan's grand entrance, where he treats his enthusiastic fans with a mix of popular songs..

Pawan Kalyan as Tiitan brings boundless energy to the screen, reminding us of his heydays. His dance moves in popular songs add to the entertainment factor. Saitej impresses with his touching portrayal of Mark, evoking empathy from the audience. Ketika Sharma's role is limited but impactful, while Rohini and Priya deliver satisfactory performances as the mother and sister, respectively. Technical Aspects Moving on to the technical aspects, director Samudrakhani deserves accolades for successfully retaining the essence of the original story while catering to Telugu nativity. Trivikram Srinivas's engaging dialogues and screenplay leave their mark, reflecting his signature style. Taman's background music once again proves to be impressive, with the hymn BGM adding a special touch. Cinematography by Sujeeth Vasudev perfectly captures Pawan's youthful avatar, complementing the movie's overall aesthetics. https://youtu.be/jnzuXnj6HE0 Pros The scenes between Pawan and Saiteja are a definite highlight, creating on-screen magic. The mix of Pawan's songs and the entertaining dialogues and screenplay keeps you hooked. The climax is a roller-coaster of emotions that stays with you even after leaving the theater.  Cons On the flip side, some scenes might feel a bit exaggerated, and the inclusion of political dialogue might not resonate with all viewers. Rating  3 out of 5 stars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArOm-GWR6Zk

Annapurna Photo Studio Review: A Heartwarming Village Love Story

Cast: Chaitanya Rao, Lavanya, Mihira, Uttara, Vaiva Raghava, Lalit Aditya, Yash Rangineni Directed by: Chendu Muddu Music: Prince Henry Photography: Pankaj Thottada Producer: Yash Rangineni Step into the enchanting world of "Annapurna Photo Studio," the latest Telugu flick that has been creating a buzz among movie enthusiasts.  The film 'Annapurna Photo Studio stars the hero Chaitanya Rao, known for '30 Weds 21,' and features Lavanya as the heroine. Directed by the talented Chendu Muddu, this film promises to take us on a nostalgic journey back to the 1980s. Story Chanti, the owner of a photo studio in a small village, is unmarried and his friends make fun of him for it. He is starting to feel like he will never find love. But then, he meets Gautami, a beautiful and kind-hearted woman. They fall head over heels in love. However, their love is not without its challenges. Chanti's father, tells Gautami that Chanti's horoscope predicts that his life is in danger.  After knowing that, what decision did Gautami take? How did Chanti become an accused in a murder case? Why did he attempt suicide? Chanti and Gautami will finally become one? If you want to know these, you have to watch the movie. Performances Chaitanya Rao, renowned for his role in "30 Weds 21," delivers a commendable performance as Chanti. His vintage look and spot-on Godavari accent add authenticity to the character, making him a joy to watch. Lavanya, playing the role of Gautami, perfectly portrays the essence of a traditional Telugu girl with grace and charm. Supporting actors, including Uttara, Lalith Aditya, Mihira, and Viva Raghava, add their own flavors to the mix, bringing the village camaraderie to life. Direction The director tried to recreate a pure village love story of the 1980s. The characters are well-developed, the visuals are beautiful, and the music is catchy. However, the director could have taken more care in the writing of the story. Telling the story of the 80s by simply seeing the movies of that time is not very tasteful. Technically, the film is superior. The camera work is particularly impressive, and the way the beauty of the village is captured on screen is amazing. The music is also pleasing. However, the editing could have been tighter to increase the pace of the story. Additionally, the production values are below the level of the rest of the film.  Technical Technically, "Annapurna Photo Studio" shines brightly. However, the editing department could have paid more attention to the pacing, as a few scenes seemed to drag a bit. Nevertheless, the movie's nostalgic 1980s backdrop and the surprising twists in the plot earn it high marks. Positives: Strong castBeautiful cinematographyCatchy music Negatives: Choppy editingSome dated scenes Overall Annapurna Photo Studio is a well-made film with a good story and strong performances. However, it is not without its flaws. If you are a fan of village love stories, you will probably enjoy this film. Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
