Samantha Ruth Prabhu is among the leading actresses in Tollywood. Even though she stays away from films due to health issues, she remains active on social media, regularly treating her fans with glamorous posts. Recently, a post about her using a nebulizer sparked controversy. Doctors criticized her post, leading to a flood of negative comments. One doctor's statement that Samantha should be jailed became particularly controversial, escalating the dispute as Samantha also responded with a strong counter. Let’s explore the reasons behind this controversy in this narrative.



Samantha’s Health Tip!



The renowned actress Samantha is currently undergoing treatment for myositis and regularly updates about her medical treatments on social media. Recently, she posted about nebulization. She recommended certain medications to be used in nebulization for viral infections, suggesting, "Mix hydrogen peroxide with distilled water for nebulization. It works wonderfully. Try this instead of unnecessary tablets." Samantha also tagged her friend, Dr. Basu Chillar, who suggested this treatment. This post quickly went viral on the internet.







Samantha Should Be Jailed: Doctor



Following Samantha's viral post, many doctors expressed their disapproval. They took to social media to criticize her health tips seriously. Dr. Abi Philips, known as 'TheLiverDoc,' was particularly vocal. He warned on his X account that following Samantha's advice could be fatal, labeling her as ignorant about health and science and accusing her of misleading the public. He demanded that she be jailed or fined for her actions. This post, too, quickly went viral on social media.

Samantha’s Strong Counter



In response to the doctor's warning that she should be jailed, actress Samantha gave a strong counter on Instagram with a lengthy post. "I am not naive enough to give advice without fully understanding a treatment. The treatment was recommended by a doctor with an MD degree who has served the DRDO for 5 years. It's unfortunate that a grown man attacked my post and intentions with such harsh words. It would have been better if he had discussed this with the doctor who treated me. I am not upset that he criticized me for needing to be jailed; perhaps it's easier to accuse me because I am a celebrity. However, I did not give that health tip as a celebrity but as a common person," wrote Samantha.

Samantha: Doctor Wants Samantha in Jail... Samantha Responds.!


This week, Tollywood saw the release of three key films at the box office. Vishwak Sen’s Mechanic Rocky, Satyadev’s Zebra, and Ashok Galla’s Devaki Nandana Vasudeva hit the screens on Friday, November 22. While Vishwak and Satyadev’s films managed to garner average talk, Ashok Galla’s film received outright disastrous feedback. Let’s examine how these films performed on their first day, their collections, and whether they faced significant setbacks or achieved reasonable numbers.



Mechanic Rocky’s Collections



Vishwak Sen’s Mechanic Rocky, featuring Meenakshi Chaudhary and Shraddha Srinath as the female leads, was directed by Raviteja Mullapudi and released on Friday, November 22. Earlier this year, Vishwak impressed audiences with Gaami and Gangs of Godavari, both earning good reception. Hoping for a hat-trick with Mechanic Rocky, Vishwak faced disappointment as the film only managed average talk. This directly impacted its opening-day collections. The movie earned just ₹2.3 crores gross worldwide on its first day, significantly lower than Vishwak’s previous films. Gangs of Godavari and Gaami grossed ₹8 crores and ₹8.6 crores respectively on their opening days, while Das Ka Dhamki earned ₹8.88 crores. Compared to these, Mechanic Rocky’s first-day collections plummeted by a staggering 75%.







Zebra’s Collections



Satyadev and Daali Dhananjaya starred in Zebra, directed by Eashvar Karthik, known for Penguin. The film, featuring Priya Bhavani Shankar and Amrutha Aiyengar as the female leads, was a white-collar crime drama. Despite promotions by Megastar Chiranjeevi, Zebra failed to live up to expectations and garnered average talk. This reflected in the collections as well. According to trade analysts, the film grossed ₹65.8 lakhs worldwide on its first day, with ₹55.5 lakhs coming from the Telugu states. While there is hope for better collections over the weekend, the lackluster start poses a challenge for the film.







Devaki Nandana Vasudeva’s Collections



Ashok Galla, the son of businessman Galla Jayadev and nephew of Mahesh Babu, starred in Devaki Nandana Vasudeva. With a story by Hanu-Man fame Prasanth Varma and directed by Arjun Jandhyala, the film attempted to mix spirituality, commercial elements, and thrill. However, its release on November 22 brought shockwaves with disastrous talk and poor reception. Unsurprisingly, the collections were abysmal, grossing just ₹15.5 lakhs worldwide on its opening day, as per trade reports. Given the negative buzz surrounding the film, collections are expected to dip further in the coming days.







These first-day numbers paint a grim picture for the Tollywood releases of the week, with Vishwak Sen’s market taking a hit and Satyadev and Ashok Galla struggling even more to leave a mark.

Among the stars of Tollywood, Ravi Teja is known as the 'Mass Maharaja'. Having delivered blockbusters such as 'Idiot', 'Bhadra', 'Venky', 'Vikramarkudu', 'Kick', 'Mirapakay', 'Power', 'Bengal Tiger', and 'Raja The Great', Ravi Teja hasn't been seen much in recent years. Although his recent films 'Dhamaka' and 'Eagle' seemed promising, they failed to deliver the level of success expected of Ravi Teja's caliber. His latest, 'Mr. Bachchan', also faced a dismal failure. Given his string of flops, it appears that the Mass Maharaja is taking a daring step by getting ready to remake a successful Malayalam movie.



Ravi Teja in the Remake of 'Aavesham'!



The Malayalam film 'Aavesham', directed by Jeethu Madhavan and featuring Fahadh Faasil in the lead, was an action-comedy that released this year and achieved great success, grossing over ₹150 crores at the box office. There has been talk in Tollywood about remaking this film in Telugu for some time. According to the latest buzz, Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja has acquired the remake rights of this film. Ravi Teja's acquisition of the rights has led to widespread speculation that he will star in the remake himself, to be produced under his own production company. An official announcement may also be coming soon, exciting Ravi Teja's fans.







Choosing Over Balakrishna...



There were rumors that Nandamuri Balakrishna would star in remake 'Aavesham' in Telugu, as Fahadh Faasil's role seemed a good fit for him. Balakrishna's fans even counted the film as one of his future projects. However, unexpectedly, Ravi Teja secured the project instead, charming Balakrishna's fans. Yet, Balakrishna's fans also say that Fahadh Faasil's role suits Ravi Teja well and believe that he will do justice to the various shades of the character. The question of who will direct this intriguing remake is currently generating much interest.







Struggling to Overcome the Flop Streak!



Ravi Teja, who once entertained fans with hit films, is now struggling with a series of flops. Of his last ten films, only one ('Krack') was a hit, and two others ('Dhamaka' and 'Eagle') received average feedback. The remaining seven were outright failures at the box office. The less said about 'Mr. Bachchan', the better, as it drew significant criticism and trolling for Ravi Teja. Critics have pointed out that he is not choosing age-appropriate roles and seems more interested in romantic scenes with much younger actresses. These criticisms have led Ravi Teja to decide that he must achieve a hit somehow and believes that remaking the successful Malayalam movie 'Aavesham' would be a safe bet.







Will 'Aavesham' Be a Good Fit?



'Aavesham' presents a unique story where three college students seek help from a local gangster, Ranga (Fahadh Faasil), to deal with their seniors. As the plot unfolds, Ranga forms a bond with the students, but complications arise due to his character, leading to an intriguing situation. Fahadh Faasil's characterization is a special attraction in this story. Given that the character suits senior actors well, initially, Balakrishna's name came up. Now that Ravi Teja's name has emerged, many wonder how he will fit into this role. There's no doubt that Ravi Teja can handle it, as the role demands a mix of comedy, action, and aggression, all of which he can deliver convincingly.






Ravi Teja: How Did He Win Over Balakrishna's Fans with the 'Aavesham' Remake?


National crush Rashmika Mandanna plays the female lead in Pushpa 2, directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun. With the movie just ten days away from release, the team has been busy with promotions. Recently, the team organized an item song release event in Chennai, attended by Bunny, Rashmika, Sreeleela, and others. During this event, Rashmika’s comments stole the spotlight. Her indirect statements about her relationship and marriage with Vijay Deverakonda have sparked discussions online.



What Did Rashmika Say?



For some time, rumors have been rife about Rashmika Mandanna being in love with Tollywood star Vijay Deverakonda. Despite both insisting they are “just friends,” fans have never been convinced. During the Pushpa 2 event in Chennai, Rashmika seemingly confirmed their love indirectly. When asked questions about love and marriage, Rashmika answered candidly.



When the host asked, “Do you prefer a chocolate boy or a rowdy boy?” Rashmika replied, “I like a mix of both.” On being asked if she would marry someone from the film industry or outside it, she said, “This is something everyone already knows,” with a smile. These statements have fueled speculation among netizens that Rashmika is deeply in love with Vijay and is hinting at marriage.

Hints from the Past



Rashmika Mandanna’s earlier comments at the pre-release event of Gam Gam Ganesha, starring Vijay’s brother Anand Deverakonda, also sparked rumors. When Anand asked her questions during the event, he showed photos of Rashmika’s pet dog alongside Vijay’s pet dog and asked which was her favorite. Rashmika replied, “Ara (my pet dog) is my first baby, and Smart (Vijay’s pet dog) is my second baby.” When Anand teased her further by asking who her favorite co-star was, Rashmika jokingly said, “You’re my family; how can you put me on the spot like this?” When fans started chanting “Rowdy, Rowdy,” Rashmika smiled and indirectly acknowledged Vijay as her favorite.

Vijay Admits to Dating



In a recent promotion for his music album Saahiba, Vijay Deverakonda made intriguing comments about his relationship status. He revealed he is not single and is dating a co-star. These remarks added fuel to the ongoing speculation about his relationship with Rashmika. Meanwhile, Vijay is currently working on VD12, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. After completing this project, he is set to start a new film with Rahul Sankrityan under Mythri Movie Makers. Rashmika is busy with the release of Pushpa: The Rule, which is scheduled to hit screens on December 5.






<strong>Rashmika Mandanna: Rashmika Confirms Love with Vijay Deverakonda, Drops a Hint About Marriage!</strong>


Cast: Gopichand, Kavya Thapar, Naresh, Mukesh Rishi, Jisshu Sengupta, Vennela Kishore, Sunil, Sham, Pragathi, Rahul Ramakrishna, Srikanth Iyengar, Prithvi, and others.



Director: Srinu Vaitla



Music: Chetan Bharadwaj



Cinematography: K. V. Guhan



Editing: Amar Reddy



Producers: Venu Donepudi, T.G. Vishwa Prasad



Release Date: October 11, 2024



The latest film 'Viswam' directed by Srinu Vaitla and starring popular actor Gopichand, jointly produced by T.G. Vishwa Prasad and Venu Donepudi, with Kavya Thapar as the heroine, is a test to regain success after both have experienced a drought in hits. Released on October 11, did 'Viswam' bring them the success they were hoping for? Let's find out in this complete review.







Plot



In Hyderabad, a federal minister (Suman) is murdered. Assassins chase a child who witnessed the murder, intending to kill her. However, Gopireddy (Gopichand), who is acquainted with the child’s family, saves her multiple times from danger. There is a reason behind Gopireddy's acquaintance with the family. What is that reason? Why did Gopireddy distance himself from Samaira (Kavya Thapar) whom he met in Italy? Who really is Gopireddy? Why is he trying to save the child? What is Gopireddy's background? To find out, one must go to the theaters.







Performance



Actor Gopichand captivates with his settled acting and impresses in action sequences, proving his comedy timing once again with 'Viswam'. However, his role does not offer much variety compared to his previous films; it feels quite routine. Heroine Kavya Thapar doesn’t have much scope in acting but scores well on the glamour front. Naresh, Vennela Kishore, Sunil, and Rahul Ramakrishna bring laughter in the film, especially in the train episode. Other characters have performed well within their roles.







Direction



Having directed blockbusters like 'Anandam', 'Sontham', 'Venky', 'Dhee', 'Ready', and 'Dookudu', Srinu Vaitla had lost his track recently. Recognizing his strengths and weaknesses, he brought 'Viswam', a mix of action and comedy, back to the audience. However, choosing an outdated story for this film could be seen as a drawback. Punches and the comedy track are the strengths of the film, particularly the sequences involving Vennela Kishore and Prithvi that are sure to leave the audience in splits. The Italy track and the villain’s character feel weak. The hero-heroine love track also feels repetitive. However, the interval scene and the climax manage to engage.







Technically



On the technical front, Chetan Bharadwaj’s music is decent with two or three good songs, and the background score elevates the scenes well. K.V. Guhan’s cinematography is also commendable. Editing by Amar Reddy could have been sharper. The production values are high, giving each scene a rich look.







Plus Points



- Gopichand’s acting



- Comedy



- Background music



Minus Points



- Outdated story



- Dragged scenes
