Vivo X200: Advanced 3nm Chipset, Launch Details, and Prices Revealed


Cast: Varun Dhawan, Samantha, Kay Kay Menon, Sikandar Kher, Shaqib Salim, Simran, and others



Writers: Seetha R. Menon, Raj &amp; DK



Directors: Krishna D.K., Raj Nidimoru



Music: Aman Pant



Cinematography: Johan Hurlein



Editing: Sumit Kotian



Streaming Platform: Amazon Prime Video



Release Date: November 7, 2024



Having successfully created popular series like 'Family Man' and 'Farzi,' directors Raj &amp; DK have garnered significant recognition. Recently, they launched another highly anticipated series under their direction called 'Citadel: Honey Bunny.' Bollywood star Varun Dhawan and the glamorous Samantha Ruth Prabhu lead in this series titled 'Citadel: Honey Bunny,' which is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Is this series, which arrives with the flair of a James Bond movie and presents a spy action thriller, impressive to the OTT audience? Does Samantha captivate once again in a role similar to her 'Family Man' persona? Let's find out in this review.







What's the Story



Bunny (Varun Dhawan) is a stuntman who also operates as a secret agent. Guru (Kay Kay Menon) leads a private secret agency. During a shoot, Bunny meets junior artist Honey (Samantha) and soon involves her in a compulsory secret operation. The dramatic events of the mission lead Bunny to believe that Honey has died. Eight years later, he discovers that Honey is alive and they have a five-year-old daughter named Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar). Bunny who is abroad returns to India to find them. Meanwhile, some are attempting to kill Honey and her daughter. Who are these individuals? What challenges does Bunny face while searching for his wife? What secrets does Honey possess? What is in the armory that the villainous gang seeks?







Performances



In his role as Bunny, Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan delivers a solid performance, excelling in action sequences. However, it is Samantha who truly shines in the series. Her acting, alongside her prowess in fight scenes, stands out. She skillfully portrays a secret agent, a lover, and a mother, offering a feast for the eyes in her romantic scenes with Varun Dhawan. Just like in the 'Family Man' series, she also sizzles in hot scenes. The series largely revolves around the screen presence of Varun and Samantha. Samantha captivates with her glamour, while young Kashvi Majmundar profoundly influences the storyline with her emotional performance. Kay Kay Menon, Simran, and the rest of Bunny's team do their roles.







Direction



While 'Citadel: Honey Bunny' doesn't offer much novelty in terms of storyline, the way it is presented and the screenplay are commendable. The directors Raj &amp; DK have cleverly divided each episode into two parts, spanning the years 1992 and 2000, which adds intrigue. They've managed to clearly present the connections between the characters across the timelines without confusion. While the first two episodes are mostly introductory, the story picks up from the third episode. The struggle between Honey-Bunny and the villain gang to seize a world-dominating armored object is captivating. However, the lack of thrilling elements on par with 'Family Man,' the absence of twists, and episodes lasting over 50 minutes each are drawbacks.







Technically..



On the technical front, all departments have performed well. Aman Pant's background score is notable. Johan Herlein's cinematography is a special attraction, capturing fight and chase scenes that will enthrall action lovers. However, more care could have been taken with the editing. The production values adhered to by Russo and Raj DK are commendable.

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.

Shivam Bhaje Movie Review


Cast: Sumanth



Writer and Director: Prashanth Sagar Atluri



Music: Sriram Madduri



Cinematography: Varun Ankarla



Editing: Murali Krishna Manyam



Visual Effects: Shashwat Kaurav



Producers: Raghuveer, Srujan



OTT Platform: Aha



The film 'Aham Reboot,' directed by Prashanth Sagar Atluri and starring Sumanth , was initially completed some time ago and was intended for a theatrical release. However, due to certain reasons, it was quietly released on the OTT platform Aha on June 30. This psychological thriller has made its way to streaming. Did it manage to impress OTT viewers? Did it provide another success for Sumanth? Let’s find out in this review.







What’s the Story?



Nilay (Sumanth), who dreamt of being a football player, turns into a radio jockey following an accident. One day while in the studio, he receives a call from a girl claiming she has been kidnapped. Initially dismissing it as a prank, Nilay is eventually convinced by her words and decides to go live. The police, listening to the radio, start believing that the girl has indeed been kidnapped and begin efforts to save her. They assign the task of gathering information about the kidnapped girl to Nilay, who is in the studio. Who is this girl? Was she really kidnapped? How do the police save her? Who is the girl Nilay lost in an accident? Is there any connection between her and the kidnapped girl? You'll have to watch the movie to find out.







How Did They Perform?



In the movie 'Aham Reboot,' Sumanth is a one-man show. He is the only character visible throughout the movie; all other characters are just heard. Sumanth captivates with his performance, embodying a modern young man carrying an unspoken sorrow and striving to save a girl's life as a radio jockey. He effectively conveys emotions and carries the story on his shoulders. Visually, Sumanth presents a new look in this movie.







How’s the Direction?



Directing a movie with just one character is akin to walking a tightrope, especially when the entire story unfolds in a single location. In this challenging endeavor, director Prashanth Sagar Atluri has managed to achieve a notable level of success. The narrative begins with a phone call from a girl claiming she has been kidnapped. The director skillfully guides the plot from gathering her details to forwarding them to the police, who then initiate a rescue operation. This approach keeps the narrative tight and engaging. A twist at the end that links Nilay's life to the kidnapped girl adds an intriguing element. However, the film's reliance on only Sumanth's character and dialogue to drive the story might seem monotonous to some viewers. For those with the patience, 'Aham Reboot' offers a compelling thriller experience.







Technically...



On the technical front, the background music is a significant plus for the movie. Sriram Madduri’s BGM elevates the thrilling scenes further. With just one character, the editing needed to be crisp, which worked out well. The production values are commendable.







Plus Points



- Sumanth’s acting



- Innovative storytelling



- Background music



Minus Point



- The entire movie revolves around just one visible character

Antony has known the popular actress Keerthy since she was 15 years old. Their acquaintance began when Keerthy was in high school, and Antony was pursuing his degree.



While Keerthy began her career as a child actress and rose to fame, Antony continued to focus on his studies while maintaining their relationship.







Antony has always dreamed of being a successful entrepreneur. He has skillfully balanced his relationship with Keerthy without letting it interfere with his professional goals.







As a result, Antony has succeeded both in business and love life, serving as an inspiration to the youth.

Allu Arjun, Rashmika, Fahadh Faasil, Jagapathi Babu, Sunil, Anasuya, Rao Ramesh, Dhanunjaya, Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari, Tarak Ponnappa, Ajay, Sritejas, and others



Written and Directed by: Sukumar Music: Devi Sri Prasad Cinematography: Miroslaw Kuba Brozek Editing: Naveen Nooli Producers: Naveen Yerneni, Ravi Yalamanchili Production Houses: Mythri Movie Makers, Sukumar Writings Release Date: December 5, 2024



Everyone knows what a sensation "Pushpa" (2021) created when it was released with Allu Arjun in the lead role under Sukumar's direction. As a result, its sequel "Pushpa 2" has garnered nationwide attention. The movie features Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead opposite Bunny, while Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil plays the antagonist. The already-released trailer, teaser, promotional materials, and marketing campaigns have significantly raised expectations. The film team also conducted promotions in various major cities across the country, further increasing the hype. The film released worldwide on December 5th in Telugu, Hindi, and several other South Indian languages. So how is "Pushpa 2"? Did it impress the audience? Did it achieve blockbuster success? Let's find out in this review.



Story



Pushparaj (Allu Arjun), who started his journey as a red sandalwood coolie, rises to become the leader controlling a smuggling syndicate. He expands his syndicate's operations internationally and grows powerful enough to influence politics by funding the ruling party. During this time, his rivalry with SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat (Fahadh Faasil) intensifies. Despite his aggressive nature outside, Pushparaj never disobeys his wife Srivalli (Rashmika). One day, when Pushparaj sets out to meet the Chief Minister with MP Siddappa (Rao Ramesh), Srivalli eagerly asks him to get a photo with the CM. However, when Pushpa makes this request, the CM mocks him. This leads Pushpa to challenge that he will make MP Siddappa the Chief Minister. What does Pushpa do to achieve this? What's his conflict with Central Minister Veera Pratap Reddy (Jagapathi Babu)? What plans does SP Shekhawat devise to stop Pushpa? Does Pushpa keep his promise to Srivalli? The story revolves around these questions.







Performances



Bunny (Allu Arjun) once again excels as Pushpa Raj. He shows even more impact in terms of language and body language. He mesmerizes in fights and dances. Particularly, his acting in the Jatara episode and climax reaches another level. Rashmika as Srivalli delivers a memorable performance with great chemistry alongside Allu Arjun. Compared to the first part, she's given more glamorous scenes in the sequel. Her performance peaks in many scenes. Sreeleela enchants with the "Kissika" song, dazzling with her dance moves as usual. Fahadh Faasil performs well as Shekhawat, though the character loses some seriousness as the story progresses. Rao Ramesh impresses as the MP. Compared to the first part, Sunil and Anasuya's roles get less prominence. Jagapathi Babu as the Central Minister and Kannada actor Tarak Ponnappa make their presence felt in the story. Jagadeesh appears in a key role as Allu Arjun's friend. The rest of the cast performs adequately within their scope.



Direction 



Compared to the first part, director Sukumar has expanded Pushpa Raj's territory further. He has incorporated his trademark psychological elements and mind games into the story. He keeps the audience energized with hero elevations throughout. Allu Arjun's introduction, the Tom and Jerry fight between Pushpa and Shekhawat, and the strategic moves are well portrayed. Though the story seems to move slowly, the interval bang takes it to another level. While showing Pushpa's business and political empires, the director effectively portrays his affection for Srivalli. The love and chemistry between Pushpa and Srivalli appear cute on screen. In the second half, the Gangamma Jatara episode is the highlight of the movie. Sukumar excellently showcases heroism and family emotions in this episode. The fights and family emotions in the climax are entertaining. However, the lack of strong villainy and excessive runtime can be considered drawbacks. In the crucial scenes, Sukumar has laid the groundwork for "Pushpa 3" with a twist and turn.



Technical Aspects 



Technically, the movie is brilliant, with every department delivering excellent work. Devi Sri Prasad impresses with both songs and background score. Another music director, Sam CS, also captures attention with his background score. Kuba's camera work is a major plus for the movie, grandly capturing every episode. Srikant Vissa's dialogues are engaging. The editing could have been more careful. Mythri Movie Makers' production values are top-notch, with richness visible in every scene.

The latest film starring Kollywood star hero Vijay, titled 'The Goat' (The Greatest Of All Time), released on September 5 and has been a massive hit in Tamil Nadu, even crossing the Rs. 300 crore mark with impressive overseas collections. However, the film seems to be facing strong resistance in the Telugu and Hindi markets. In this context, the film's director Venkat Prabhu responded, sparking a heated debate on social media.



'That's Why They Didn't Like It'



In Telugu and Hindi, 'The Goat' (The Greatest Of All Time) did not meet the expected levels of success. Mythri Movie Makers, a prominent production company, purchased the film for Rs. 22 crores in Telugu, but so far, it has only grossed Rs. 10 crores. Current circumstances suggest that even breaking even may be difficult. Against this backdrop, director Venkat Prabhu took to social media to express his views. He suggested that scenes related to Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni, which were highlights, did not resonate well with Telugu and Hindi audiences, which might be why the film underperformed in these regions. He also accused fans of the IPL teams from Mumbai and Bangalore of excessively trolling his film, attributing this to his known fandom of Chennai Super Kings. Venkat Prabhu's comments have become a hot topic on social media.




https://twitter.com/TheAakashavaani/status/1833133203697131918




Telugu Audience Fires Back..!



Telugu audiences are strongly criticizing Venkat Prabhu's recent comments. They are posting online that there are other reasons for 'The Goat's disaster performance in Telugu. Comments suggest that if the content is good, they support films irrespective of the industry. They remind the director of the massive success his previous film 'Maanaadu' had in Telugu, indicating that MS Dhoni also has a huge fanbase in the Telugu states, with stadiums filling up in yellow jerseys whenever a CSK match is played in Hyderabad. They are requesting that the actual reasons for 'The Goat's failure be investigated.







Reasons for the Flop in Telugu Are These!



Director Venkat Prabhu made 'The Goat' with a routine story where Vijay played dual roles as father and son. Despite the terrorism backdrop, it lacked the twists typically seen in agent films. There were no twists or turns in the story, and even the operations conducted by the hero lacked thrill. Additionally, unnecessary songs and Yogi Babu's comedy track tested the patience of the Telugu audience. However, the action sequences and the IPL track in the climax managed to generate some excitement.







Dhoni Said No!



'The Goat' featured many cameo roles. Sivakarthikeyan and Trisha appeared as guests, and India's former cricket captain MS Dhoni was also shown during the climax using IPL visuals. Director Venkat Prabhu originally intended to have a scene with Dhoni in the film, but since Dhoni did not agree, they had to resort to using IPL visuals. The 20-minute climax episode captivated cricket lovers immensely.







Furious Over Negative Reviews



Director Venkat Prabhu responded to the negative reviews of 'The Goat.' "People don't talk about the effort we put into making the film. Some intentionally post negative comments. We included references in the film not found in any other movie, all to celebrate every hero fan. The film wasn't made just for the guest appearances but was crafted to include everything audiences desire. We made this film for the audience, not the reviewers," he stated.






Venkat Prabhu Faces Backlash Over Telugu Audience Criticism After 'The Goat' Underperforms


Uyyala function, a significant ceremony in Indian tradition, is celebrated to honor the arrival of a new child. Providing return gifts to guests as a token of gratitude is a cherished practice that makes the occasion memorable.

Actor Satyadev’s latest movie, Zebra, has been making waves in the film industry. Featuring Kannada actor Dhananjay in a key role, the movie, directed by Eashvar Karthik, also stars Priya Bhavani Shankar and Jennifer Piccinato. The film received positive reviews and started gaining traction after its first day, thanks to word-of-mouth publicity. Recently, the team organized a success meet. Amid this, Satyadev penned an open letter to the audience, sharing his thoughts and reflecting on the struggles of his earlier movies.



What Did Satyadev Say?



Satyadev expressed his happiness over the audience's response to Zebra in a heartfelt note shared on social media. He wrote: "This success is yours. You’ve said the movie is good, and I couldn’t ask for more. I’ve been waiting for five years for such a hit. I’ve longed to make a movie that you love and to hear you say, 'You’ve delivered a hit.' When I succeed, you celebrate, and that fills my heart with joy. You missed watching Bluff Master in theaters but later showered it with love on OTT and YouTube. I hope the same doesn’t happen with Zebra. Please watch this film in theaters—it’s a movie you’ll definitely enjoy."




https://twitter.com/ActorSatyaDev/status/1861276550337073501




Struggles With Every Film



Satyadev is one of those talented actors who has struggled to gain the recognition he deserves. Despite delivering strong performances, he has often faced challenges in reaching audiences. He hoped that Zebra would turn his fortunes around, especially with the positive reviews. However, the film’s box office numbers have not matched expectations, leaving him concerned. This situation isn’t new for Satyadev. His career began with similar hurdles. His debut film, Uma Maheshwara Ugra Roopasya, was released directly on OTT due to the pandemic. His next, Thimmarusu, faced the impact of the second COVID wave, with theaters operating at 50% capacity. Bluff Master didn’t find success in theaters but was appreciated later on OTT platforms. Even Krishnamma was delayed for two years before its theatrical release earlier this year, only to hit OTT within a week. Despite his role as an antagonist in Godfather alongside Chiranjeevi, Satyadev didn’t gain the expected opportunities. With Zebra, he hopes to break this cycle and has earnestly appealed to audiences to support the film in theaters.







Is Zebra Worth Watching?



Director Eashvar Karthik weaves a story about financial crimes in the banking sector, intertwined with the world of gangsters. Satyadev shines as Surya, a bank relationship manager, delivering a compelling performance. The story revolves around Surya’s struggles as he becomes entangled in a 5-crore bank fraud, with a gangster villain hunting him down. While the storyline holds intrigue, certain elements, like the villain’s obsession with a relatively small amount (for a crime lord), feel unrealistic. The lack of gripping moments in some parts is a downside. However, the film’s freshness and appeal to fans of thrilling dramas make it a worthwhile watch.







What’s the Story?



Surya (Satyadev), a middle-class bank relationship manager, works at the Bank of Trust. He secretly admires his coworker Swathi (Priya Bhavani Shankar). One day, Swathi mistakenly transfers ₹4 lakhs to a fraudulent account. When the recipient refuses to return the money, Surya steps in to help her. This incident escalates unexpectedly, pulling Surya into a larger scam involving ₹5 crores. He eventually crosses paths with Adi (Dhananjay), a notorious and dangerous gangster. How does Surya deal with Adi? How did Adi enter Surya’s life? What consequences does the ₹5-crore fraud bring? Does Surya overcome these challenges? These questions drive the gripping narrative of Zebra.
