Mahesh Babu's Voice Shines in 'Mufasa: The Lion King' Telugu Trailer
Among the prestigious projects by the famous Hollywood production company Disney, 'Mufasa: The Lion King' is a notable one. Currently in production, the film features Aaron Stone, Kelvin Harrison Jr., among others. The Telugu trailer for this movie has just been released, where Mahesh Babu has lent his voice to the critical character of Mufasa, impressing everyone with his dubbing. The trailer has received widespread praise for how fittingly Mahesh's voice suits the lion. So, what's in the trailer? What are the dialogues Mahesh Babu has delivered? Let’s find out now.
Mahesh's Voice is the Highlight
The production company Disney released the Telugu trailer of 'Mufasa: The Lion King' on Monday (August 26). It starts with "It's time I told you a story, a story of little lions just like you," and dives into the narrative. The trailer explores the brotherhood and friendship between Mufasa and Taka, known as Scar, even though they are not brothers by birth. "Sometimes this cool breeze feels like it's bringing memories from my home," a dialogue delivered by Mahesh Babu catches the attention. "We must fight together; nothing will happen to you Taka, don't be afraid," are among the powerful dialogues delivered by Mahesh Babu that stand out in the trailer. With his comedic timing, Mahesh also entertains in the end saying, "You said something just now," which highlights the trailer. The trailer of Mufasa The Lion King went trending on social media within minutes of its release. Fans and Telugu movie lovers alike are commenting that they will watch the movie in theaters just for Mahesh's voice.

'This Is Very Special to Me'
Mahesh Babu himself posted the Telugu trailer of Mufasa on his X account. On this occasion, he made some interesting comments. "A new dimension to a character we know and love. I am very happy to provide the voice for Mufasa in Telugu. Being a huge fan of this classic makes this very special to me," he wrote. He also spoke about dubbing earlier, saying, "I have great respect for Disney. Mufasa attracts everyone not only as a father leading his son but also as a great king of the jungle. Working with Disney is personally very special to me. I look forward to enjoying this with my children. I am eagerly waiting to watch Mufasa with my family and fans on December 20."
Mahesh in Telugu, Shah Rukh in Hindi
The Hindi version trailer of 'Mufasa: The Lion King' was also released recently. In it, Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan's son, Abram, has provided the voice for young Mufasa. Interestingly, in the same film, Shah Rukh Khan voices the older Mufasa, and his eldest son, Aryan Khan, voices Simba. Speaking about the film, Shah Rukh said, "Mufasa has a wonderful legacy. He reigns as the great king of the jungle. This role has resonated with me as a father. This movie shows how Mufasa's life unfolds from childhood to kingship. Working on this role again after 2019 The Lion King feels special, especially working with my children." The film Mufasa is set to have a grand release in Telugu, Hindi, English, and Tamil.

Dubbing Isn’t New to Mahesh... But!
This isn't the first time Mahesh Babu has done dubbing; he has previously lent his voice in the background for two films, Pawan Kalyan's 'Jalsa' and Tarak's 'Baadshah.' However, those were not character-specific but were meant to elevate the role. This is the first time Mahesh is fully dubbing for a character. It will be interesting to see how well Mahesh captivates the audience with his voice.
Busy with 'SSMB29'
Mahesh is set to star in an adventurous action movie directed by the legendary Rajamouli. He will appear in a new look, sporting long hair and a beard for this role. Information suggests that the official launch of this movie by Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli is imminent. The film will also involve several Hollywood actors and technicians, making it a highly anticipated project.

![Exciting Update on Bunny-Trivikram Combo, Blockbuster Loading!](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/07173424/Untitled-design-2024-08-07T153700.463.jpg)
Exciting Update on Bunny-Trivikram Combo, Blockbuster Loading!
In Tollywood, certain hero-director combinations command a distinct fan base, often driving audiences wild with excitement. Notable duos like Prabhas-Rajamouli, Trivikram-Pawan Kalyan, Tarak-Koratala Siva, Allu Arjun-Sukumar, and Harish Shankar-Ravi Teja have become fan favorites, known to spark frenzy among moviegoers. Among these, the Allu Arjun and Trivikram pairing stands out as particularly thrilling, often regarded as the top in Tollywood. Whenever these two collaborate, fans are confident the film will be a resounding success. Their previous three films together have all been blockbusters. Recently, there have been intriguing updates suggesting that a fourth film from this successful combo is in the works.
Muhurtham Fixed!
Audiences are eagerly waiting for the next Allu Arjun and Trivikram movie. According to the latest buzz, the Muhurtham for this film to go on sets has been fixed. The film is slated to commence in September, starting with ritualistic ceremonies followed by regular shooting. With the ongoing pan-India craze, this film is also expected to release in multiple languages. Sources close to the director suggest that Trivikram will be venturing into the pan-India market with this film for the first time.
Who Among the Two!
The selection of the heroine for the Bunny-Trivikram film is also nearly finalized. The film team is considering either Bollywood actresses Janhvi Kapoor or Alia Bhatt to star opposite Bunny. With Janhvi gearing up for her Tollywood debut with 'Devara', she has already garnered some buzz in Telugu cinema, making her a likely favorite for Trivikram. However, considering Alia’s greater popularity in Bollywood, she is also under consideration, as her inclusion could enhance the film’s pan-India appeal. An official announcement regarding the heroine’s selection is expected soon.
Hat-trick Hits
It is well known that the previous three films under the Allu Arjun-Trivikram collaboration, 'Julayi', 'Son of Satyamurthy', and 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo', have created a sensation in Tollywood and generated a tsunami of collections at the box office. These films have made Allu Arjun even more beloved among family audiences. These three were hilarious entertainers and remain memorable for average cinephiles. Fans are hoping that their upcoming fourth film will live up to the same standards and break past records.
Busy with 'Pushpa 2'
Icon star Allu Arjun is currently busy working on 'Pushpa 2' with director Sukumar, set for a global release on December 6. This film is a sequel to the blockbuster 'Pushpa'. Rashmika Mandanna is starring opposite Bunny. The film is currently being shot in a massive set constructed at Ramoji Film City, where key scenes are being filmed. All important actors, including the hero Bunny, are participating in this shoot.

![Game Changer: Mega Fans in Tension.. 'Game Changer' Not Releasing This Year?](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/06173452/Untitled-design-2024-08-06T153931.910.jpg)
Game Changer: Mega Fans in Tension.. 'Game Changer' Not Releasing This Year?
Following the blockbuster 'RRR', Ram Charan is starring in 'Game Changer', a political drama directed by Tamil cinema's renowned director Shankar and produced by Tollywood's notable producer, Dil Raju. Recently, Dil Raju hinted at a Christmas release, which had mega fans celebrating. However, new issues have surfaced that could potentially delay the film's release this year.
What's the Reason?
There's strong buzz that 'Game Changer', starring mega power star Ram Charan, might not release this year as planned. Although initially set for a Christmas release, it's now uncertain due to incomplete shooting. It's reported that more than 15 days of shooting are still pending, and director Shankar is still scouting for new locations. This could mean more time is needed to finish the shooting, followed by post-production and dubbing, possibly pushing the release past December.
2024 Summer Release?
The 'Game Changer' film, a collaboration between Ram Charan and Shankar, might move from December to the summer of 2025. Even though there's a chance for a Sankranti release if December is missed, several films are already slated for the Pongal competition. The makers of megastar Chiranjeevi’s ‘Vishwambhara’ have announced a Sankranti release. Similarly, films starring Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi, and Ajith’s ‘Good Bad Ugly’, and ‘Shatamanam Bhavati 2’ are also aiming for the same festive release. In this context, it seems unwise for the 'Game Changer' team to join the race. Given the exam season in February and March, cinema pundits are speculating a possible release during the summer holidays.
High Hopes on Game Changer!
Director Shankar’s recent release 'Indian 2' disappointed audiences, failing to meet expectations and earning criticism online. His previous films such as 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office. Therefore, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar to regain his successful track. Producer Dil Raju is also counting on this film to recover from the financial losses incurred from Vijay Deverakonda's 'Family Star', which flopped at the box office. Currently, both the director and producer are heavily reliant on the success of this Charan movie.
Kiara’s Poster Hits the Mark!
In 'Game Changer', Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani stars as the female lead. Recently, on her birthday, the film team released a special poster where Kiara looks stunning in a multi-colored lehenga. This look is from the movie's first single, 'Jaragandi Jaragandi'. In addition to Charan and Kiara, S.J. Surya, Anjali, Srikanth, Nazar, Naveen Chandra, and Samuthirakani play significant roles in the film.

![Shivam Bhaje Movie Review](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/01172932/Movie-Review-61.jpg)
Shivam Bhaje Movie Review
Cast: Ashwin Babu, Digangana Suryavanshi, Hyper Aadi, Arbaaz Khan, Murali Sharma, Tanikella Bharani, Brahmaji
Director: Abdul Apsar Hussain
Music: Vikas Badisa
Editor: Chota K. Prasad
Producer: Maheshwara Reddy
Release Date: August 01, 2024
The latest film starring Ashwin Babu, who is the brother of well-known anchor and director Ohmkar, is titled 'Shivam Bhaje.' Digangana Suryavanshi plays the lead female role. Directed by Abdul Apsar Hussain, the movie also features notable actors such as Hyper Aadi, Arbaaz Khan, Murali Sharma, Tanikella Bharani, and Brahmaji in significant roles. The promotional materials, trailer, and teaser have significantly raised expectations for this film, which was released on August 1. Let's explore how the film fared and whether it succeeded in captivating the audience.
Plot
Chandu (Ashwin Babu) works as a loan recovery agent. During his job, he falls in love with Shailaja (Digangana Suryavanshi), who works in a chemical lab. Due to an incident, Chandu loses his sight. Following a dramatic event blessed by Lord Shiva, an operation restores his vision. However, after regaining his sight, Chandu begins to see various visuals. Whose eyes did Chandu receive? What are these visuals he sees? Why does a mere recovery agent end up fighting with enemy nations? What deed did Chandu perform with the grace of Lord Shiva? What role does Dogra (a dog) play in the story? To find out, one must watch the movie.
Performances
Ashwin Babu delivers a remarkable performance in the role of Chandu, showcasing great versatility across two dimensions. Digangana Suryavanshi captivates the audience as Shailaja. The chemistry between Ashwin and Digangana is effectively established. Bollywood actor Arbaaz Khan impresses in his role as a police officer, and comedian Hyper Aadi elicits laughter with his impeccable timing. Seasoned actors Brahmanandam and Murali Sharma mesmerize with their performances, while other actors adequately fulfill their roles.
Direction
Director Abdul Apsar Hussain commendable intertwines mystery and devotional elements. Some suspense scenes in this crime drama are quite engaging. The storyline woven around international espionage also pleases, though the screenplay falters at times. The narrative could have been presented more effectively on screen. The subplot involving murders seems rather weak. Chandu's character could have been made more powerful. Some scenes lack logical coherence. The slow pace of the story and a lack of engaging elements in the first half are drawbacks. Unrelated scenes test the audience's patience.
Technically
On the technical front, Dasarathi Shivendra’s cinematography is impressive. He beautifully presents key scenes, especially in the second half. Vikas Badisa’s music is decent. Chota K. Prasad’s editing is also commendable. The production values are high.
Plus Points
- Ashwin Babu’s acting
- Suspense scenes
- Climax
Minus Points
- Slow narration
- Lack of engaging elements
- Irrelevant scenes

![Mega Multi Starrer Movie: Chiru, Pawan, Charan Combo in a Multistarrer... Director Harish Shankar's Big Plan!](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/30174357/Untitled-design-2024-07-30T163744.377-1.jpg)
Mega Multi Starrer Movie: Chiru, Pawan, Charan Combo in a Multistarrer... Director Harish Shankar's Big Plan!
The 'Mega Family' in Tollywood, known for its substantial fan base, has launched many stars under megastar Chiranjeevi. Present-day industry luminaries like Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, and Allu Arjun are all members of this illustrious family. Films from the Mega Family consistently create a buzz in Tollywood. Just imagine the excitement if Chiru, Pawan, and Charan starred together in a multistarrer! The prospect is thrilling and may soon become a reality, as director Harish Shankar is actively working towards this collaboration. Let's explore more about these developments.
'The Ultimate Pan-India Release'...
Among the directors close to the Mega Family, Harish Shankar is notable. He has openly declared himself a fan of Pawan Kalyan. During the promotion of his film 'Mr. Bachchan', Harish Shankar made some significant comments in response to why he hasn't yet made a Pan-India film. He stated, "You can’t just write a story for the sake of calling it Pan-India. 'Pushpa' wasn’t made as a Pan-India film; neither was 'Kantara'. They told local stories that the Pan-India audience accepted. It should happen organically. I have been working on a line for Kalyan garu, Ram Charan, and Chiranjeevi. If made, it will be the true Pan-India film." Currently, these remarks have become the talk of Tollywood. Mega fans are eagerly posting their hopes for this film to hit the sets soon.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1817891248398795055
'Past Special Cameos'...
Megastar Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan have already appeared together in the movie 'Acharya', where Charan had a special cameo. Previously, Chiranjeevi made brief appearances in 'Bruce Lee' and 'Magadheera' to support his son. Similarly, Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan have acted together in two films. Pawan Kalyan shined in a special song in 'Shankar Dada MBBS' and also shared the screen with Chiru in the climax of 'Shankar Dada Zindabad'. However, Chiru, Pawan, and Charan have never appeared together in full-length roles except in cameos. Fans have been eagerly waiting for a full-fledged Mega multi starrer film.
'Connection with the Mega Family'
Director Harish Shankar shares a strong bond with the Mega Family. Known among fans as a director who truly understands the pulse of the Mega audience, Harish has worked with four Mega heroes. He directed 'Gabbar Singh' with Power Star Pawan Kalyan, 'Duvvada Jagannadham' with Allu Arjun, 'Gaddalakonda Ganesh' with Varun Tej, and 'Subrahmanyam For Sale' with Sai Dharam Tej. His portrayal of the Mega heroes in these films has greatly pleased the fans, leading to high expectations for his direction in a multistarrer. Netizens are posting that if such a project materializes, it will undoubtedly break box office records and they are hoping it starts shooting soon.
'Reminiscent of Ustaad Bhagat Singh'
It is known that Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar are working on 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. The filming of this movie faced interruptions due to Pawan Kalyan's busy political schedule in Andhra Pradesh, leading Harish Shankar to work on 'Mr. Bachchan' with Ravi Teja in the meantime. At a recent press meet, Harish Shankar made key remarks about 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', expressing anticipation for Pawan Kalyan's availability to complete the film. He assured that this film would be memorable for fans for many years and fully deliver on the expectations audiences have from a Pawan Kalyan movie. Fans are confident they will want to watch this film over and over again.

Telugu OTT Movies: Experimental Films Like 'Aham Reboot'
Watching the same type of movies can become monotonous even for avid cinema enthusiasts. In response, some directors and producers have crafted films with unique and experimental concepts. These films, showcasing diverse stories and narratives, are now available on OTT platforms. Those in search of variety in cinema can easily access these films, which promise to deliver fresh experiences. What are these films? Where are they streaming? What makes their concepts unique? Let’s explore these questions in this narrative.
Aham Reboot
The latest film starring Sumanth, 'Aham Reboot,' began streaming on Aha from June 30. Directed by Prashanth Sagar Atluri, this psychological thriller is notable because only Sumanth’s character is visually present on screen; other characters are only heard. Aha sources report that the film is receiving positive responses. The plot revolves around RJ Nilay (Sumanth), who receives a call from a girl claiming to be kidnapped while he is in the studio. Initially dismissing it as a prank, Nilay becomes convinced of her plight and decides to save her. Meanwhile, the police also get involved in attempting to rescue the girl. Who is the kidnapped young woman? What is her connection to Nilay? That is the story.

105 Minuttess
Following a similar model to 'Aham Reboot,' a recent lady-oriented film, '105 Minuttess,' starring Hansika, was shot in just six days. The plot unfolds as Janu (played by Hansika) feels pursued by an unseen force while driving home from the office. Upon arriving home, she experiences unexpected events. This invisible force starts tormenting Janu, restraining her with iron chains and subjecting her to bizarre tortures. It accuses her of being responsible for its death and causes her great distress. Who is this invisible entity? How is Janu connected to its death? And how does Janu escape its clutches? This forms the rest of the story.

Dialogues by other major stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Deepika Padukone are also receiving praise. What dialogues from 'Kalki' captivated the audience? In what contexts were they delivered? Let's delve into this special feature.
Kalki Movie Dialogues
The movie begins with a scene depicting the Kurukshetra episode. Ashwatthama commits a grave mistake by launching a weapon at an unborn child. The dialogues that follow, as Lord Krishna curses him, are captivating.
Ashwatthama: Champadaniki vaste nannu champu Krishna. Nee upadeshalu vinadaniki nenu Arjunudni kaadu.
అశ్వత్థామ : చంపడానికి వస్తే నన్ను చంపు కృష్ణ. నీ ఉపదేశాలు వినడానికి నేను అర్జునుడ్ని కాదు.
Krishna: Ee 18 rojulu Kurukshetramlo jarigina papaala kanna.. Nee adharmam nishkritamainadi. Dhronacharyudi putrudivi ayyundi intaku digajaraava?
కృష్ణుడు : ఈ 18 రోజులు కురు క్షేత్రంలో జరిగిన పాపాల కన్నా.. నీ అధర్మం నిష్కృతమైనది. ధ్రోణాచార్యుడి పుత్రుడివి అయ్యుండి ఇంతకు దిగజారావా?
Ashwatthama: Naa tandri peru palike arhata neeku ledu. Nuvvu anukunte atadi marananni aapagaligevadi.
అశ్వత్థామ : నా తండ్రి పేరు పలికే అర్హత నీకు లేదు. నువ్వు అనుకుంటే అతడి మరణాన్ని ఆపగలిగేవాడివి.
Krishna: Ashwatthama.. Devudaina krurudaina karmanu tappinchukoleru. Garbhasta sisuvupai astram vadilavu. Nee kharm nuvvu anubhavinkaka tappadu.
కృష్ణుడు : అశ్వత్థామ.. దేవుడైనా క్రురుడైనా కర్మను తప్పించుకోలేరు. గర్భస్త శిశువుపై అస్త్రం వదిలావు. నీ ఖర్మ నువ్వు అనుభవించక తప్పదు.
Ashwatthama: Ayithe sandhinchu chakram.. Vidhinchu nee shikshani.
అశ్వత్థామ : అయితే సంధించు చక్రం.. విధించు నీ శిక్షని.
Krishna: Chavu nee shiksha kaadu Ashwatthama.. Adi vimukti. Kalantaram Pandavulu andaru chanipotaru. Naa shareeramoo maranistundi. Ee yugam antharistundi. Kaani, neeku maranam radu. Veladi sanvatsaralu nee gaayalu maanaka.. Chavu raaka.. Brathakaleka.. Enno papalu choosthu jeevistavu. Ide naa shapam.
కృష్ణుడు : చావు నీ శిక్ష కాదు అశ్వత్థామ.. అది విముక్తి. కాలాంతరం పాండవులు అందరూ చనిపోతారు. నా శరీరమూ మరణిస్తుంది. ఈ యుగం అంతరిస్తుంది. కానీ, నీకు మరణం రాదు. వేలాది సంవత్సరాలు నీ గాయాలు మానక.. చావు రాక.. బ్రతకలేక.. ఎన్నో పాపాలు చూస్తూ జీవిస్తావు. ఇదే నా శాపం.
Ashwatthama: Mari naa shapaniki prayschittam leda?
అశ్వత్థామ : మరి నా శాపానికి ప్రాయిశ్చిత్తం లేదా?
Krishna: Nuvvu nannu champalanukunnav.. Kani oka roju nuvve nannu kapadali.
కృష్ణుడు : నువ్వు నన్ను చంపాలనుకున్నావ్.. కానీ ఒక రోజు నువ్వే నన్ను కాపాడాలి.
Ashwatthama: Nena?
అశ్వత్థామ : నేనా?
Krishna: Kaliyugam vastundi. Kali vastunnadu. Adharmam perigipoyi prapanchamantha cheekati ayinappudu nenu malli oka avataram ettali. Aa yugamlo Kali maha shaktishali. Enta shaktivantudu ante na puttukane apagaladu. Appudu nuvve na garbha gudiki kapala kayali.
కృష్ణుడు : కలియుగం వస్తుంది. కలి వస్తున్నాడు. అధర్మం పెరిగిపోయి ప్రపంచమంతా చీకటి అయినప్పుడు నేను మళ్లీ ఒక అవతారం ఎత్తాలి. ఆ యుగంలో కలి మహా శక్తిశాలి. ఎంత శక్తివంతుడు అంటే నా పుట్టుకనే ఆపగలడు. అప్పుడు నువ్వే నా గర్భ గుడికి కాపలా కాయాలి.
Dialogue
A complex announces a bounty of 5000 units on a young man. A gang sets out to capture him. In the midst of his escape, Bujji (an AI vehicle) shackles him. Then, the villain's gang opens fire on Bujji. Amidst this, Bujji introduces her boss, Bhairav (Prabhas), elevating his status.
Bujji: Hey.. Stop. Nannu shoot chestava. Ippudu choodu naa boss vachhi mee andarini smash chestadu.
బుజ్జి : హేయ్.. స్టాప్. నన్ను షూట్ చేస్తావా. ఇప్పుడు చూడు నా బాస్ వచ్చి మీ అందరిని స్మాష్ చేస్తాడు.
Villan Gang: Evaru mee boss?
విలన్ గ్యాంగ్: ఎవరు మీ బాస్?
Bujji: Paatha yuddhallo soldier. Intha varaku okka yuddhamlo odipoledu. The one and only Bhairava
బుజ్జి : పాత యుద్ధాల్లో సోల్జర్. ఇంత వరకూ ఒక్క యుద్ధంలో ఓడిపోలేదు. ది వన్ అండ్ ఓన్లీ భైరవ
(After this dialogue Prabhas enters)
Bhairava: Entry anantharam Bhairava nelapai guraka petti nidra pothadu..
భైరవ: ఎంట్రీ అనంతరం భైరవ నేలపై గురక పెట్టి నిద్ర పోతాడు..
Bujji: Bhairava getup.. Chala buildup ichaanu le.
బుజ్జి : భైరవ గెటప్.. చాలా బిల్డప్ ఇచ్చాను లే.
Bhairava: Bujji.. Bujji.. Please 5 minutes padukuntanu.
భైరవ: బుజ్జి.. బుజ్జి.. ప్లీజ్ 5 మినిట్స్ పడుకుంటాను.
Dialogue
Supreme Yaskin (Kamal Haasan) conducts experiments on pregnant women using his people in the complex. A scientist from Yaskin’s team tries to kill him in response. The dialogues Yaskin delivers while killing the scientist are captivating.
Supreme Yaskin: Chaavuku nenu chaala pranalau icchanu. Adi nanneem cheyadu. Ninnu chooste jalestundi. Enduku nannu champalanukunnav?
సుప్రీమ్ యాస్కిన్: చావుకు నేను చాలా ప్రాణాలు ఇచ్చాను. అది నన్నేం చేయదు. నిన్ను చూస్తే జాలేస్తుంది. ఎందుకు నన్ను చంపాలనుకున్నావ్?
Scientist: Manchi kosam..
సైంటిస్టు : మంచి కోసం..
Supreme Yaskin: Manchi.. Charitrlo enni pranalau teesindho telusa ee manchi. Rajulu rajyalu marutunna pratheesari marutundi manchi. Danni nammoddhu. Inthaki neekem kavali?
సుప్రీమ్ యాస్కిన్ : మంచి.. చరిత్రలో ఎన్ని ప్రాణాలు తీసిందో తెలుసా ఈ మంచి. రాజులు రాజ్యాలు మారుతున్న ప్రతీసారి మారుతుందీ మంచి. దాన్ని నమ్మోద్దు. ఇంతకీ నీకేం కావాలి?
Scientist: Ee lokanni kapadali.
సైంటిస్టు : ఈ లోకాన్ని కాపాడాలి
Supreme Yaskin: Ade kada.. Nenu chesindi. Devudini, dabbulani, vandala yuddhalu chese andarini okka yuddhamtho gelichanu tappa?. Meera boodida chestunna prakrutini andanantha dhooramlu pettanu.. Tappa?
సుప్రీమ్ యాస్కిన్ : అదే కదా.. నేనూ చేసింది. దేవుడిని, డబ్బులని, వందల యుద్ధాలు చేసే అందరినీ ఒక్క యుద్ధంతో గెలిచాను తప్పా?. మీరు బూడిద చేస్తున్న ప్రకృతిని అందనంత దూరంలో పెట్టాను.. తప్పా?
Scientist: Neeku istam vachhinatlu cheyadaniki nuvvu evaru?
సైంటిస్టు : నీకు ఇష్టం వచ్చినట్లు చేయడానికి నువ్వు ఎవరు?
Supreme Yaskin: Mari nashanam cheyadaniki meeru evaru? Enni yugalau ayina.. Enni avakasalu ichchina manishi maradu.. Maraledu. Idi nee tappu kadule. Human beingsku unna defecte adi.
సుప్రీమ్ యాస్కిన్ : మరి నాశనం చేయడానికి మీరు ఎవరు? ఎన్ని యుగాలు అయినా.. ఎన్ని అవకాశాలు ఇచ్చినా మనిషి మారడు.. మారలేడు. ఇది నీ తప్పు కాదులే. హ్యూమన్ బీయింగ్స్కు ఉన్న డిఫెక్టే అది.
Dialogue
Supreme Yaskin rescues Sumathi (Deepika Padukone), who is pregnant with Kalki, from his own people and brings her to Shambala. The guard of Shambala, unaware of who Sumathi is, tries to stop them. The scene and dialogues that follow highlight this moment.
Rakshanadhikari: Amenu ikkadaku enduku teesukochchavu. 5 million pounds pettaru eeme meeda. Complex matrame kadu worldlo prati okkaru ame kosam vethukunnaru. Ela kapadatavu?
రక్షణాధికారి : ఆమెను ఇక్కడకు ఎందుకు తీసుకొచ్చావు. 5 మిలియన్ పౌండ్లు పెట్టారు ఈమె మీద. కాంప్లెక్స్ మాత్రమే కాదు వరల్డ్లో ప్రతీ ఒక్కరు ఆమె కోసం వెతుకున్నారు. ఎలా కాపాడతావు?
Ashwatthama: Nenu kapadatanu.
అశ్వత్థామ : నేను కాపాడతాను
Rakshanadhikari: Asalu nuvvu evaru? Podugga unte saripodu. Eppudaina yuddham chesava?
రక్షణాధికారి : అసలు నువ్వు ఎవరు? పొడుగ్గా ఉంటే సరిపోదు. ఎప్పుడైనా యుద్ధం చేశావా?
Ashwatthama gurinchi telisina baludu: Excuse me.. Mahabharatamlo Sreekrishnudithone yuddham chesadu.. Oke. (Ikada highlight BGM vastundi)
అశ్వత్థామ గురించి తెలిసిన బాలుడు: ఎక్స్క్యూజ్మీ.. మహాభారతంలో శ్రీకృష్ణుడితోనే యుద్ధం చేశాడు.. ఓకే. (ఇక్కడ హైలెట్ బీజీఎం వస్తుంది)
Rakshanadhikari: Andariki picchi ekkinda? Eeme (Sumathi) ikkadi ravadam valla andariki entho dangero arthamavutunda? Tanu just.. lab nunchi escape ayina mamulu pregnant woman. Emi special woman kadu. Ayina puttedi devudu anadaniki enti sakshyam.
రక్షణాధికారి : అందరికీ పిచ్చి ఎక్కిందా? ఈమె (సుమతి) ఇక్కడి రావడం వల్ల అందరికీ ఎంతో డేంజరో అర్థమవుతుందా? తను జస్ట్.. ల్యాబ్ నుంచి ఎస్కేప్ అయిన మామూలు ప్రెగ్నెంట్ ఉమెన్. ఏమీ స్పెషల్ ఉమెన్ కాదు. అయినా పుట్టేది దేవుడు అనడానికి ఏంటీ సాక్ష్యం.
As soon as that dialogue is spoken, rain begins to fall immediately, a rare event in that region. The people of Shambala believe that the birth of Kalki will occur from her womb as her arrival brings rain. This scene gives the audience goosebumps.
Dialogue
Sumati (Deepika) questions Ashwatthama why Lord Vishnu chose her to be the mother of Kalki. The dialogues in this context are mesmerizing.
Ashwatthama: Nuvvu pranam ivvadanike puttava amma?
అశ్వత్థామ : నువ్వు ప్రాణం ఇవ్వడానికే పుట్టావ్ అమ్మా?
Sumati: Asalu em matladutunnaru. Inka toli oopiri kuda teesukoni ee bidda kosam inka entha mandi chanipovali?
సుమతి : అసలు ఏం మాట్లాడుతున్నారు. ఇంకా తొలి ఊపిరి కూడా తీసుకొని ఈ బిడ్డ కోసం ఇంకా ఎంత మంది చనిపోవాలి?
Ashwatthama: Prati chaavuki oka paramartham untundi. Prati chaavu lokaniki kotta oopiri postundamma.
అశ్వత్థామ : ప్రతీ చావుకి ఒక పరమార్థం ఉంటుంది. ప్రతీ చావు లోకానికి కొత్త ఊపిరి పోస్తుందమ్మా.
Sumati: Kaani, nene enduku?
సుమతి : కానీ, నేనే ఎందుకు?
Ashwatthama: Moyagaligina shakti unnavarike badhyatanu istadu aa devudu. Bhagavantudni kadupulo moyalante bhoodevi antha orpu undali. Meelo aa orpu undane mimmalni talliga enchukunnaru.
అశ్వత్థామ : మోయగలిగిన శక్తి ఉన్నవారికే బాధ్యతను ఇస్తాడు ఆ దేవుడు. భగవంతుడ్ని కడుపులో మోయాలంటే భూదేవి అంత ఓర్పు ఉండాలి. మీలో ఆ ఓర్పు ఉందనే మిమ్మల్ని తల్లిగా ఎంచుకున్నారు.
Ashwatthama: Nuvvu ippudu kanabooyedi mamulu pranam kaadamma.. srushtini. Janmanivvadam nee dharmam kaapadatam naa badhyata.
అశ్వత్థామ: నువ్వు ఇప్పుడు కనబోయేది మాములు ప్రాణం కాదమ్మ.. సృష్టిని. జన్మనివ్వడం నీ ధర్మం కాపాడటం నా బాధ్యత.
Dialogue
Upon arriving in Shambala, Sumati is claimed by Chatterjee, the Complex representative, who instructs his men to seize her. He tells his commander that riders have been sent in all directions and they will soon capture her. Meanwhile, Prabhas, who has already battled Ashwatthama, declares they can do nothing more. The dialogue between him and Chatterjee captivates the audience.
Bhairava: Aa musalodu unnanthavaraku em cheyaleru.
భైరవ : ఆ ముసలోడు ఉన్నంతవరకూ ఏం చేయలేరు.
Chatterjee: Musaloda?
ఛటర్జీ : ముసలోడా?
Bhairava: Mee vallandarini kottindi atade? Okkadu kuda vadni touch cheyaledu. Nenu tappa.
భైరవ : మీ వాళ్లందరినీ కొట్టింది అతడే? ఒక్కడు కూడా వాడ్ని టచ్ చేయలేదు. నేను తప్పా.
Chatterjee: Veedevadu asalu?
ఛటర్జీ : వీడెవడు అసలు?
Commander: Bhairava ani bounty enter sir. Mana vallani kodithe black list chesanu.
కమాండర్: భైరవ అని బౌంటీ ఎంటర్ సర్. మన వాళ్లని కొడితే బ్లాక్ లిస్ట్ చేశాను.
Bhairava: Elagaina black list chesavu kada. Malli kodatha. Point enti ante nenu okkadine aa ammayini teesukuragalanu. Meeku vere option ledu.
భైరవ: ఎలాగైనా బ్లాక్ లిస్ట్ చేశావు కదా. మళ్లీ కొడతా. పాయింట్ ఏంటి అంటే నేను ఒక్కడినే ఆ అమ్మాయిని తీసుకురాగలను. మీకు వేరే ఆప్షన్ లేదు.
Chatterjee: Antha sure aa..
ఛటర్జీ : అంత ష్యూర్ ఆ..
Bhairava: Records chusuko.. Inthavaraku okka fight kuda odipoledu. Idi kuda odiponu.
భైరవ : రికార్డ్స్ చూసుకో.. ఇంతవరకూ ఒక్క ఫైట్ కూడా ఓడిపోలేదు. ఇది కూడా ఓడిపోను.
Dialogue
In the climax of the movie, the scene involving Kamal Haasan sends chills down the spine. After gaining power, he declares, “Jagannatha rathachakralu vastunnayi vastunnayi.. Rathachakra pralayaghola bhoomargam pattistanu.. Bhukampam puttistanu.” ('జగన్నాథ రథచక్రాల్ వస్తున్నాయ్ వస్తున్నాయ్.. రథచక్ర ప్రళయఘోళ భూమార్గం పట్టిస్తాను.. భూకంపం పుట్టిస్తాను') revealing the extent of the destruction he is about to unleash in the second part of his dialogue. However, this dialogue originates from Sri Sri’s epic work "Maha Prasthanam." Kamal Haasan previously delivered this dialogue in the movie "Akali Rajyam" 44 years ago. Hearing Sri Sri’s poetry from his lips after so many years again surprised the audience.

Dialogue
In "Kalki," Prabhas, who has been playing Bhairava, shocks everyone by appearing as Karna in the final part. In the last ten minutes, featuring an episode from the Mahabharata, he as Karna shakes the screen. Holding a bow and standing on a chariot, Prabhas declares, "Is it too late, son of the teacher?" sending the entire theater into a frenzy. The introduction of Bhairava as Karna, especially during this climactic scene at Kurukshetra, draws loud cheers.
Arjunudu: Ashwatthama.. thalaratanu raase Brahma chesina Gandeevam idi. Deenini evaru addukoleru.
అర్జునుడు : అశ్వత్థామ.. తలరాతను రాసే బ్రహ్మ చేసిన గాంఢీవం ఇది. దీనిని ఎవరు అడ్డుకోలేరు.
Karnudu: Prabhas entry ichhi Arjunudu vesina banaanni niluvaristadu. Aa sandarbhamlo aalasyamainda acharya deva? ani Ashwatthamatho antadu.
కర్ణుడు: ప్రభాస్ ఎంట్రీ ఇచ్చి అర్జునుడు వేసిన బాణాన్ని నిలువరిస్తాడు. ఆ సందర్భంలో ఆలస్యమైందా ఆచార్య దేవా? అని అశ్వత్థామతో అంటాడు.
Ashwatthama: Ledu.. Saraina samayamlo ne vachchavu.
అశ్వత్థామ: లేదు.. సరైన సమయంలోనే వచ్చావు.
Arjunudu: Choosava.. Keshava (Krishnudu). Tanu naku samanuda? Vadni (Karnudu) addukoni mana ratham kevalam rendu adugulu venakki vellindi. Naa astraniki atadi ratham 10 adugulu venakki vellindi.
అర్జునుడు: చూశావా.. కేశవ (కృష్ణుడు). తను నాకు సమానుడా? వాడ్ని (కర్ణుడు) అడ్డుకొని మన రథం కేవలం రెండు అడుగులు వెనక్కి వెళ్లింది. నా అస్త్రానికి అతడి రథం 10 అడుగులు వెనక్కి వెళ్లింది.
Krishnudu: O Dhanunjaya.. Nee ratham agnidevudi varam. Kapadutunnadani jendapai kapiraju (Hanumantudu). Naduputunnadi mullokala nadipinche nenu. Aina rendadugulu venakki toshadante alochinchu Arjuna.
కృష్ణుడు : ఓ ధనుంజయ.. నీ రథం అగ్నిదేవుడి వరం. కాపాడుతున్నదని జెండాపై కపిరాజు (హనుమంతుడు). నడుపుతున్నది ముల్లోకాలు నడిపించే నేను. అయినా రెండడుగులు వెనక్కి తోశాడంటే ఆలోచించు అర్జునా.
Krishnudu: Tanu (Karnudu) samanya yodhudu kadu. Tana kallaloni tejasu.. tana chetiloni dhanassu.. tana peru.. charitra eppatiki marchipodu. Surya putra Vaikarna.. Karna. (Ee dialogueto Kalki tolipart mugustundi).
కృష్ణుడు: తను (కర్ణుడు) సామాన్య యోధుడు కాదు. తన కళ్లల్లోని తేజస్సు.. తన చేతిలోని ధనస్సు.. తన పేరు.. చరిత్ర ఎప్పటికీ మర్చిపోదు. సూర్య పుత్ర వైకర్ణ.. కర్ణ. (ఈ డైలాగ్తో కల్కి తొలిపార్ట్ ముగుస్తుంది).

![Vijay's 'The GOAT': A Predictable Action Drama with Strong Performances and High Expectations](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/05115022/Movie-Review-74.jpg)
Vijay's 'The GOAT': A Predictable Action Drama with Strong Performances and High Expectations
Cast: Vijay, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prabhu Deva, Prashant Thyagarajan, Kokila Mohan, Jayaram, Sneha, VTV Ganesh, Aravind Akash, Vaibhav Reddy, and others.
Story and Direction: Venkat Prabhu
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Cinematography: Siddharth Nuni
Editing: Venkat Rajan
Producers: Kalpathi S. Aghoram, Kalpathi S. Ganesh, Kalpathi S. Suresh
Tamil star hero Vijay stars in the latest action thriller 'The GOAT' (The Greatest of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. The film also features Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead, with important roles played by Sneha, Laila, Prashant, and Prabhu Deva. This film is notable for its use of de-aging technology. With rumors circulating that this might be Vijay's last film before entering politics, expectations for the film were quite high. How did the film turn out? How much did it captivate the audience? Did it provide another unforgettable success for Vijay or not? Let’s find out in this review.
Plot
Gandhi (Vijay), a special anti-terrorism squad officer, conducts various successful missions with his teammates Sunil (Prashant), Ajay (Ajmal), and Kalyan Sundaram (Prabhu Deva). However, he keeps his job a secret from his wife Anu (Sneha). During one mission abroad, his five-year-old son dies. Believing her husband to be responsible, Anu distances herself from Gandhi. Distraught, Gandhi leaves the force. Years later, on a trip to Moscow, he encounters his son Jeevan (Vijay), whom he thought was dead, alive. Overjoyed, he brings him back to India. From then on, Gandhi’s acquaintances start dying one by one. Who is responsible for these deaths? How did his presumed-dead son come back? How does Gandhi stop the killings? These questions form the crux of the story.
Performances
Vijay delivers a dual role, excelling as Gandhi but the young Vijay’s digitally aged look as Jeevan might feel a bit off, not entirely convincing. Vijay shines again in action sequences and emotional scenes, proving his star quality. Meenakshi Chaudhary as the heroine doesn’t have much of a role, feeling more like a guest appearance. Prashant, Ajmal, and Prabhu Deva as squad members are adequate but not outstanding. Jayaram, as the head of the squad, captivates with his performance. Sneha impresses with her acting as Gandhi’s wife. Tamil youth hero Shiva Karthikeyan makes a mark in a cameo, and Trisha excites in a special song appearance. The rest of the cast performs adequately within their roles.
Direction
Director Venkat Prabhu’s storyline lacks novelty. The narrative of a hero working in defense and the villain raising his son to turn against him has been seen many times before. However, the scenes detailing the son’s revenge feel engaging. The first half is mostly spent introducing the characters, and the plot progresses as expected until the pre-interval. The interval scene raises curiosity for the second half, which, although predictable, includes some twists that surprise the audience. The comedy and dialogues are deeply rooted in Tamil culture, which might not entirely appeal to the Telugu audience. However, Vijay’s fans will likely find the film quite entertaining.
Technically
On the technical front, the songs by Yuvan Shankar Raja are forgettable, not leaving a lasting impact. However, the background music enhances the action sequences, elevating them to another level. The graphic department could have done better, especially with Vijay’s de-aging look. Editing is competent. The production values are high, showing no compromise in terms of budget.
Plus Points
- Vijay’s performance
- Action sequences
- Climax
Minus Points
- Predictable plot
- Slow first half

![Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Weekend Collections: ‘Saripodhaa Sanivaaram’ is unstoppable even with Heavy Rains.](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/02155904/Untitled-design-2024-09-02T152237.138.jpg)
Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Weekend Collections: ‘Saripodhaa Sanivaaram’ is unstoppable even with Heavy Rains.
Nani's latest film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' (Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Weekend Collections) released on Thursday (August 29) has garnered positive buzz. Along with Nani, the villain played by S.J. Suryah has received accolades from the audience. Consequently, the film is creating a storm at the box office. Despite continuous heavy rains across Telugu states over the past three days, Nani's film's momentum has not slowed down. Furthermore, daily theater occupancy has been increasing. In this context, how much did Nani's film collect over the weekend? Let's look at the collections for the first four days.
Weekend Collections: How much?
The film "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," starring Nani as the hero and Priyanka Arul Mohan as the female lead, is exceeding everyone's expectations and is showering the box office with collections. The makers have officially announced that the film has grossed ₹68.72 crores worldwide in the first four days. They also released a special poster to mark this achievement. According to trade sources, "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" has collected ₹33.50 crores in India and ₹18 crores overseas. The film has reportedly earned ₹29.65 crores in the two Telugu states. Additionally, it has collected ₹4.65 crores in Karnataka, ₹3.23 crores in Tamil Nadu, ₹27 lakhs in Kerala, and ₹1.45 crores in the rest of India.
Heading towards the ₹100 crore mark...
Given the performance of 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' at the box office, it appears easily poised to reach the ₹100 crore mark. It has already collected nearly ₹60 crores in just four days. Trade circles believe that if not for the cyclonic conditions in Telugu states, the collections could have been even higher. If the rain impact diminishes, 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' has a chance to significantly increase its collections, potentially crossing ₹100 crores effortlessly. Nani's film 'Dasara' was the only one to surpass ₹100 crores in his career so far. Fans are eagerly anticipating this to be his second film to cross that mark.
Coming to OTT in a month..!
'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' (Saripodhaa Sanivaaram OTT), the film by Nani in collaboration with Vivek Athreya, is set to debut on OTT platforms within a month. Strong buzz suggests it will stream on Netflix starting September 26, available in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. However, there is no clear information yet about the Hindi version. There's also a possibility that the Hindi version might stream on Jio Cinema. Depending on the collections and audience response, changes to the OTT release date might occur.
Highlights of the film
Vivek Athreya, recognized as a classic director from his films 'Mental Madhilo', 'Brochevarevarura', and 'Ante Sundaraniki', introduces his rural mass style through this film. Differing from his usual style, the film is crafted with breathtaking action scenes and has been receiving accolades. Nani and S.J. Suryah's performances, the action sequences, and the background music by Jakes Bejoy are major highlights. Notably, the Tom and Jerry-style scenes between the hero and the villain have delighted the audience. However, the film's length, lack of twists, missing commercial elements, and a predictable storyline are seen as drawbacks.
'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Storyline
Surya (Nani), working as an LIC agent, cannot tolerate injustice. He chooses Saturdays to unleash his anger. Meanwhile, the people of Sokulapalem suffer under the tyranny of police officer Daya (S.J. Suryah), who abuses his power to oppress them. Amid dramatic events, the hero decides to stand with the people of Sokulapalem. How does Surya confront the ruthless police officer? What challenges does he face in the process? What prompts him to act specifically on Saturdays? What is his love track with the heroine Priyanka Mohan? Who wins in the showdown between the hero and the villain? This is the story.

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Day 1 Collections
Natural Star Nani continues to impress with a variety of films. His latest, 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' directed by Vivek Athreya, was released on August 29 and received widespread positive feedback. Alongside Nani, S.J. Suryah's role as the villain has been particularly praised by audiences, though some aspects have been critiqued on social media. Overall, Nani's film has garnered positive reviews and achieved impressive first-day earnings. Let's look at the details now.
What are the first day collections?
'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' featuring Nani and Priyanka Arul Mohan, has met expectations on its first day at the box office, collecting ₹20.3 crores (GROSS) worldwide. The film earned ₹8.8 crores in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana alone. Overseas, it gathered ₹7.6 crores. Additionally, it made ₹1.4 crores in Karnataka and ₹2.5 crores in the rest of India. Given the positive reviews, the film is expected to maintain solid earnings over the weekend. The spike in ticket bookings following the film's success is attributed to its hit status.
Less than 'Dasara'!
Nani's previous film, 'Hi Nanna,' grossed ₹10.5 crores on its opening day. 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' has doubled those earnings, a notable achievement. However, it still falls short of Nani’s earlier film 'Dasara,' a high-voltage action drama directed by Srikanth Odela, which made over ₹38 crores on its first day, marking the highest opening in Nani's career. Compared to 'Dasara,' 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' earned about ₹18 crores less, yet it still holds the record for the second-highest opening in Nani's career.
Highlights of the Film
Recognized as a classic director for films like 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' Vivek Athreya has introduced his rustic mass appeal with this film. Diverging from his usual style, he crafted captivating action sequences that have won accolades. The performances of Nani and S.J. Suryah, the action scenes, and the background score by Jakes Bejoy are highlights of the film. Particularly, the Tom and Jerry-style confrontations between the hero and the villain have delighted audiences. However, the film's excessive length, lack of twists, absence of commercial elements, and predictable storyline have been pointed out as drawbacks.
'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Story
Surya (Nani) works as an LIC agent who cannot tolerate injustice. He chooses Saturday to express his anger. Meanwhile, the people of Sokulapalem are suffering. Police officer Daya (S.J. Suryah), wielding his authority, oppresses them with cruelty. Amidst dramatic events, Surya decides to stand up for the people of Sokulapalem. How does he confront the brutal police officer? What challenges does he face in this process? Why does Surya specifically become active on Saturdays? What is the love track with Priyanka Mohan? Who wins in the showdown between the hero and the villain? This is the story.

![Kalki Vs Rayaan OTT: 'Rayaan' Surprises 'Kalki' with National Level Trending!](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/24170101/123.-2024-08-24T135841.112.jpg)
Kalki Vs Rayaan OTT: 'Rayaan' Surprises 'Kalki' with National Level Trending!
The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' starring Prabhas and directed by Nag Ashwin, created a sensation at the box office, garnering over Rs. 1200 crores. Many were eagerly awaiting its OTT release. On Thursday (August 22), 'Kalki' became available for streaming on two platforms. It was expected to dominate OTT as well, but unexpectedly, it faced stiff competition from 'Rayaan.' This surprising turn of events has shocked Prabhas’s fans.
Rayaan Outshines Kalki!
The film 'Rayaan,' directed and led by Tamil star Dhanush, was released in theaters on July 26 and achieved significant success, earning over Rs. 150 crores, marking it as the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. Recently, it debuted on Amazon Prime. Just a day before, 'Kalki' was also released on Amazon in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. It was anticipated that 'Rayaan' views might decrease due to 'Kalki's impact. However, surprisingly, 'Rayaan' excelled with even higher views than 'Kalki,' trending at number one nationally, pushing 'Kalki' to the second spot.
https://twitter.com/DhanushAdmirers/status/1827230852377669864
Is This Why Rayaan Dominated?
There seems to be a strong reason why 'Rayaan' received more admiration on OTT than 'Kalki.' Many had already watched 'Kalki 2898 AD' in theaters, and some even repeatedly. In contrast, 'Rayaan,' despite its success and buzz as a routine revenge drama, was not heavily promoted for big-screen viewings, leading many cinema lovers to hold off watching it until its OTT release. As expected, once 'Rayaan' hit the streaming service, everyone rushed to watch it first. Given that many had already seen 'Kalki,' OTT enthusiasts were more eager to watch 'Rayaan' first, leading to its prominent streaming success.
Big Salute to Dhanush’s Direction!
The film 'Rayaan,' which rained cash in theaters, is achieving similar success on OTT. The movie contains many elements that captivate audiences, notably Dhanush’s directorial expertise. The narrative, screenplay, and performances by Dhanush, Sundeep, S.J. Suryah, and Dushara Vijayan are particularly engaging. Dhanush’s portrayal in the fight sequences showcased his formidable presence, setting the action apart from typical films with its realistic feel. The drama and emotions are well crafted, keeping the audience engaged without any dull moments, earning Dhanush widespread acclaim.
Producer Surprises Dhanush
Prominent producer Kalanithi Maran produced 'Rayaan,' under Dhanush’s direction and lead role. Following the film’s super success, the producer uniquely thanked Dhanush by presenting two cheques (reflecting his dual roles as director and hero), which went viral on the internet. However, the exact amount on the cheques remains undisclosed, leading netizens to speculate and comment their guesses.

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

![HBD Chiranjeevi: Special on Chiru’s Birthday.. Do you know about the events that made him a Megastar?](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/22164848/Untitled-design-2024-08-22T160950.759.jpg)
HBD Chiranjeevi: Special on Chiru’s Birthday.. Do you know about the events that made him a Megastar?
Megastar Chiranjeevi's birthday is celebrated like a festival by his fans. Even celebrities extend their wishes on this occasion. However, Konidela Siva Sankara Vara Prasad, who became Megastar Chiranjeevi, did not reach the heights of fame effortlessly. He faced numerous obstacles and challenges throughout his journey, eventually earning a special place in the hearts of the audience as the Megastar. Today (August 22), on his birthday, let's look at the events and factors that elevated him to such a high status.
The Incident That Fueled Chiru’s Determination
Before entering the industry, Chiranjeevi lived in Madras with Hari Prasad and Sudhakar. They used to watch previews of movies distributed by Poornachandra Pictures and would give their ratings. On one such occasion, they sat in the front row to watch a movie. However, the hero of the movie, along with the driver and makeup man, came in and forcibly took their seats. Chiranjeevi and his team had no choice but to stand and watch the movie. When the wife of the company’s head asked, “How was the movie?” Chiru responded in anger, “Aunty, we came as your guests, but that hero made us stand by the door. We endured it because we didn’t want to cause trouble for you. If I don’t become the number one hero in this industry, you can ask me why!” True to his word, he reached that level.
From Small Roles to Hero Status
Chiranjeevi entered Tollywood in 1978. After many attempts, he got his first opportunity in the movie 'Punadi Rallu.' Interestingly, the film 'Pranam Khareedu,' in which he acted later, was released first. This film introduced him to the audience. While he was trying to establish himself as a hero, some people demanded that he play small roles in other heroes’ films. In one instance, Chiru mentioned that he acted in those roles, hoping the time would come when he could prove himself. He conveyed that despite the obstacles, one could reach their goal by staying positive.
The Reason Behind Chiru’s Mesmerizing Dance
In the early days of his career, Chiranjeevi’s dance was not exceptional. After completing a song shoot, he asked his manager how his performance was. The manager replied, “What’s there in it? You just did what the dancers behind you did. You need to show your uniqueness.” From then on, Chiru started going beyond what the choreographers instructed, captivating audiences with his extra effort. Chiranjeevi also once mentioned that film critic Gudipoodi Srihari played a role in helping him improve his acting.
From Reviewer to Padma Vibhushan
Megastar Chiranjeevi stays as far away from negativity as possible, which is why he always appears energetic. He strongly believes that listening to failure stories can lead to discouragement. He credits his immense self-confidence as the key to his success. Starting his career as a reviewer, he went on to receive the Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award in India, for his contributions to the film industry. Notably, he had already received the Padma Bhushan before this.
Supporting Young Heroes
Megastar Chiranjeevi is always at the forefront of encouraging newcomers. No matter how busy he is, he attends events for young heroes if invited. Speaking on this once, he said, “I don’t feel proud of this. When I entered the industry, I wished someone would encourage me. Now, when small heroes come to me and invite me, I see myself in them. I pat them on the back and encourage them as much as I can.”
As the Darling Child of Art
Chiranjeevi frequently responds to the issues in the industry and the struggles of film workers, offering help to the best of his ability. When some people called him the "Big Support" of the Telugu film industry, Chiru humbly denied it, saying, “I am just the darling child of art, not something big.”
Leading in Charitable Activities
