      ARM Movie Review: A Gripping Performance but a Predictable Plot.
      ARM Movie Review: A Gripping Performance but a Predictable Plot.
      Cast: Tovino Thomas, Krithi Shetty, Aishwarya Rajesh, Surabhi Lakshmi, Basil Joseph, Jagadish, Kabir Duhan Singh, and others Director: Jithin Lal Writer: Sujith Nambiar Music: Thibu Ninan Thomas Cinematography: Jomon T. John Editing: Shameer Muhammad Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas has also gained recognition in Telugu cinema. His lead roles in ‘Minnal Murali’ and ‘2018’ have been successful in Telugu as well. His latest film 'ARM' has now been released, featuring Tovino Thomas and Krithi Shetty in lead roles. In Malayalam, the film is titled ‘Ajayante Random Motionam’ (ARM), which translates in Telugu to ‘Ajayan’s Second Theft.’ How did the pan-India release 'ARM' fare? Did it enchant the Telugu audience? Has Tovino Thomas scored another hit? Let’s find out in this review. Plot Ajay (Tovino Thomas) lives a simple life in his village, doing small jobs and living with his mother (Rohini). His grandfather Maniyan (Tovino Thomas) was once a notorious thief, which leads villagers to suspect Ajay whenever a theft occurs. Meanwhile, the Sreebhuthi Lamp (an idol) in the village temple, more valuable than gold, attracts the attention of Sudeva Varma (Harish Uthaman), who plans to steal it and frame Ajay for the theft. However, Ajay’s family has been protecting this lamp for generations. How does Ajay save it this time? What is the history behind the idol? What role does the legendary hero Kunjikelu (Tovino Thomas) play in this history? What about Ajay’s love track with Lakshmi (Krithi Shetty)? You have to watch the movie to find out. Performances Tovino Thomas impressively portrays three different roles. His portrayal as the heroic Kunjikelu, with significant battle scenes, is captivating. His performance as grandfather Maniyan is also commendable, showing great versatility across his roles, from heroic to serene in Ajay’s character. Each character variation highlights his depth in acting. Krithi Shetty delivers a fine performance as Lakshmi, embodying a 90s girl perfectly. Surabhi Lakshmi’s role is engaging, appearing in a dual capacity that adds to the narrative. Rohini and Harish Uthaman’s characters are pivotal to the storyline. Direction Despite being his debut, director Jithin Lal’s execution of a story intertwined across three generations is clear and engaging. The entry of the legendary Kunjikelu accelerates the pace of the film with his heroics and the boon he asks from the king after saving the kingdom, followed by revelations that add intrigue. The portrayal of Maniyan’s character by the director stands out, particularly how he discovers where the lamp is and plans its theft. The confrontational scenes when Maniyan and Ajayan’s paths cross are emotionally powerful. However, other characters lack impact, a weak love track, predictable plot points, and a feeble climax detract from the film. Technically Technically, the film is high-quality. Thibu’s background score and songs add a fresh flair to the film. Jomon T. John’s cinematography is captivating. The editing is adequate, and the production values are high. Plus Points - Tovino Thomas’s acting - Historical backdrop - Music Minus Points - Predictable storyline - Weak climax Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

      Mechanic Rocky Review: Can Vishwak Sen Deliver a Hat-Trick with This Love-Triangle Thriller?
      Mechanic Rocky Review: Can Vishwak Sen Deliver a Hat-Trick with This Love-Triangle Thriller?
      Cast: Vishwak Sen, Meenakshi Choudhary, Shraddha Srinath, Sunil, Naresh, Hyper Aadi, Harsha Vardhan, and othersWriter & Director: Raviteja MullapudiMusic: Jakes BejoyCinematography: Manoj Reddy KatasaniEditing: Anwar AliProducer: Ram TalluriRelease Date: November 22, 2024 Young hero Vishwak Sen has already impressed Telugu audiences this year with Gaami and Gangs of Godavari. Now, he returns with Mechanic Rocky, aiming to charm audiences once again. The film, co-starring Meenakshi Choudhary and Shraddha Srinath, was released grandly on November 22 under the direction of Raviteja Mullapudi. Let’s see how the film turned out and whether Vishwak scored a hat-trick. The Plot Rocky (Vishwak Sen) drops out of his B.Tech and joins his father Ramakrishna's (Naresh) garage as a mechanic. Alongside repairing vehicles, he also teaches driving. Maya (Shraddha Srinath) and Priya (Meenakshi Choudhary) join him to learn driving. During his college days, Rocky falls for Priya, but they part ways after he quits his studies. Years later, Rocky meets Priya again. Does he get closer to her? What shocking truths does Rocky discover about Priya? How does Maya influence their lives? Who is Ranki Reddy (Sunil), and what problems does he bring into Rocky’s life? The answers lie in the film. The Performances Vishwak Sen delivers yet another settled performance, impressing audiences with his energetic portrayal. His punchlines bring humor and charm to his character. Meenakshi Choudhary and Shraddha Srinath shine in their significant roles, with their chemistry and expressions stealing the spotlight. Their on-screen competition in certain scenes enhances the narrative. Vishwak and Meenakshi's chemistry works well, and their romantic track is engaging. Supporting actors like Sunil, Naresh, and Harsha Vardhan also have impactful roles, with Harsha Chemudu’s comedy bringing occasional laughs. Direction Director Raviteja Mullapudi combines a love triangle with a crime thriller, aiming to connect with today’s audience. While the story has strong elements, excessive commercial touches and unnecessary comedy dilute the impact. The first half focuses on character introductions, love tracks, and songs, making it feel somewhat routine and stretched. However, the second half gains momentum, with unexpected twists and turns that elevate the film. The narrative effectively portrays how middle-class dreams can be exploited by others. Had the first half been more engaging, the film could have become a blockbuster. Technical Aspects From a technical standpoint, the film excels. Jakes Bejoy’s background score significantly enhances the storytelling. The cinematography is top-notch, capturing the essence of the film’s mood. However, the editing in the first half could have been sharper. The production values are impressive and align well with the film’s tone.

      Devaki Nandana Vasudeva Movie Review: Ashok Galla Shines in a Mythology-Inspired Tale That Misses the Mark!
      Devaki Nandana Vasudeva Movie Review: Ashok Galla Shines in a Mythology-Inspired Tale That Misses the Mark!
      Cast: Ashok Galla, Manasa Varanasi, Devadatta Nage, and othersDirector: Arjun JandyalaStory: Prasanth VarmaDialogues: Burra Sai MadhavCinematography: Prasad Murella, RasoolEditing: ThimmarajuRelease Date: November 22, 2024 Ashok Galla, the son of prominent businessman Galla Jayadev and nephew of Mahesh Babu, stars in his latest film, Devaki Nandana Vasudeva. Prasanth Varma, known for Hanuman, penned the story, while Arjun Jandyala directed the movie. The team promised a blend of spirituality, commercial appeal, and thrilling elements. Released on November 22, did the movie captivate the audience? Did Prasanth Varma's trademark shine through? Let’s delve into the details. The Plot Kamsaraju (Devadatta Nage) is a tyrant. During a visit to Kashi, he encounters an Aghora who predicts that his death will come at the hands of his sister’s third child. Terrified, Kamsaraju attacks his pregnant sister (Devayani), leading to the death of her husband. He is sentenced to 21 years in prison. Meanwhile, his sister gives birth to a girl, Sathya (Manasa Varanasi). As she grows up, Krishna (Ashok Galla) falls in love with her. Upon Kamsaraju’s release from jail, what happens to Sathya? What secret has Kamsaraju’s sister been hiding from him? How does Krishna protect his love? The answers lie in the movie. The Performances Ashok Galla clearly worked hard for his role as Krishna, and his efforts are evident on screen. Compared to his previous film, Ashok has improved in both acting and body language. His performance in key emotional scenes is commendable. Manasa Varanasi impresses as the heroine, and her chemistry with Ashok works well. However, she falters in conveying deeper emotions in certain scenes. Devadatta Nage delivers a solid performance as the antagonist, while Devayani does justice to her role as Kamsaraju’s sister. Jhansi shines as the hero’s mother, while supporting actors like Sanjay Swaroop, Shatru, Sridhar Reddy, and Getup Srinu play their parts adequately. The Direction Despite a premise with potential, Prasanth Varma’s story lacks depth. While mythology is woven into the narrative, it feels disjointed and fails to sync with the storyline. Director Arjun Jandyala missed the opportunity to create magic in the screenplay, which falls flat and lacks intrigue. Certain scenes promote superstitions rather than adding value to the narrative. The love track between the lead pair feels underwhelming, and the action sequences between Krishna and Kamsaraju fail to make an impact. Some scenes intended to elevate Krishna’s character come across as overly dramatic. Overall, the direction leaves the audience bored at several points. Technical Aspects On the technical front, Bhims Ceciroleo’s music is a major asset. His background score elevates the action sequences significantly. Prasad Murella’s cinematography is impressive, capturing the essence of the scenes well. Editor Thimmaraju’s work is satisfactory. The production values are high, and there’s no compromise in terms of budget, making the film visually appealing.

      Balakrishna's 'Daku Maharaj' Teaser Sparks Curiosity – Is This the Story Behind His Three Intense Roles?
      Balakrishna's 'Daku Maharaj' Teaser Sparks Curiosity – Is This the Story Behind His Three Intense Roles?
      Nandamuri Balakrishna, a name synonymous with mass entertainers in Tollywood, has been delivering a string of hits with his recent mass entertainers. Currently, he is working on a film with director Bobby, known as NBK 109. The film team recently announced the title as 'Daku Maharaj' and released a gripping teaser that gave goosebumps to Nandamuri fans. However, the title and teaser alone subtly reveal the plot of the film. Let's take a closer look. What’s in the Teaser? Produced under the banner of Sithara Entertainments by Naga Vamshi, the upcoming film 'Daku Maharaj' featuring actor Balakrishna and directed by Bobby is set to be a Sankranthi release on January 12, 2025. The released teaser starts with the dialogue, "This story isn’t about gods who spread light, nor about demons who dominate darkness, not even about Ravana who played with demons. This story is about a king who waged wars without a kingdom, a Yama wielding a mighty axe, a Maharaja who terrified even death itself." The visuals and dialogues delivered by Balakrishna in the teaser promise an intense action-packed narrative. Fans are excited, anticipating another mass spectacle from Balakrishna. https://twitter.com/SitharaEnts/status/1857296349605273899 Inspired by Daku Mansingh... The role of 'Daku Maharaj' played by Balakrishna is reportedly based on the real life of a person. Moviegoers are curious about who this 'Daku Maharaj' could be. His real name is known to be Daku Mansingh, a famous dacoit from the Punjab and Chambal regions. Amitabh Bachchan once mentioned in an interview that he was quite fearful of Mansingh’s robberies and his ability to escape during his childhood. It’s notable that Mansingh didn’t use the stolen wealth for himself but distributed it among the poor, according to the locals from Chambal. https://twitter.com/SitharaEnts/status/1857296349605273899 Is This the Story? The recent teaser suggests that director Bobby has crafted Balakrishna’s film inspired by the famous dacoit Daku Mansingh. This implies that in the film, Balakrishna's character will likely stand with the people, targeting those who exploit and rob them. He seems poised to cleverly redistribute the wealth taken from the oppressors back to the people. The story is also said to reflect three different eras, raising the question of whether Daku Maharaj will be a central figure throughout the film or just part of one segment. https://twitter.com/SitharaEnts/status/1857296349605273899 Balakrishna in Three Roles... After the superhit 'Bhagavanth Kesari', Balakrishna is back in 'Daku Maharaj', featuring alongside Pragya Jaiswal, Chandini Chowdary, and Shraddha Srinath. Bollywood actor Bobby Deol will appear in a key role, and a leading actor from the Malayalam film industry is also expected to join the cast. The story will reportedly show Balakrishna in three different aspects, promising another level of action sequences. S.S. Thaman is composing the music for this film. https://twitter.com/SitharaEnts/status/1857296349605273899

      'Arthamainda Arun Kumar Season 2' Review: Tejaswi Madivada Steals the Show in This Steamy Corporate Romance
      'Arthamainda Arun Kumar Season 2' Review: Tejaswi Madivada Steals the Show in This Steamy Corporate Romance
      "Arthamaina Arun Kumar" Season 2 was released on October 31. Following the warm reception of the first season last year, the second season was eagerly anticipated. Directed by Aditya KV, the series stars Sidhu Pavan in the lead role, with Tejaswi Madivada, Ananya Sharma, and Rashi Singh playing key roles. The trailer released earlier heightened expectations. In the first season, a young man from Amalapuram moves to Hyderabad and humorously navigates challenges in a corporate office. This season interestingly portrays his rise in his professional life and how he faced various challenges. Let's see if this season meets viewers' expectations in this review. Plot: Starting a new job in Hyderabad, Arun Kumar quickly climbs up to Assistant Manager, facing challenges with his female boss. At this juncture, he is assigned a critical project. Tejaswi’s character schemes to sabotage his success. The story unfolds how Arun faces these challenges and whether he overcomes these obstacles. Series Highlights: The series consists of 5 episodes, each ranging from 25-30 minutes, totaling around 2 hours and 15 minutes of runtime. It's quite easy to watch as the story connects smoothly without boring the viewer. Particularly, the fourth episode proceeds dramatically and might feel a bit overstretched, interrupting the flow of the main story. However, the fifth episode captivates with suspense. The inclusion of adult content makes it slightly uncomfortable to watch with family, but it’s enjoyable for couples. Cast: Tejaswi Madivada plays a notable role in this series. Her bikini look in the trailer has attracted everyone with her glamorous portrayal. Although Tejaswi has not played such roles before, this time she appears fresh in her romantic character. Sidhu Pavan, as Arun Kumar, impresses with his performance, especially in scenes with Tejaswi. Ananya Sharma effectively portrays her character, aligning well with her acting scope, and impresses as Arun Kumar’s ex-girlfriend. Direction: Director Aditya KV skillfully continues the story of Arun from an amateur to a professional overcoming challenges in Hyderabad's corporate world in the first season. In the second season, he interestingly shows how Arun advances in his job and faces new challenges. However, the fourth episode could feel a bit draggy due to an excess of dialogue over action. Technical Aspects: Technically, the series is quite sophisticated. Every scene has a rich look, and the background music provided by Ajay Arasada enhances the scenes further.

This suspense crime thriller has debuted on the prominent OTT platform Hotstar. How is this series? Has it pleased the OTT audience? Let's find out in this review. Plot Nobel laureate Indian scientist Vishwak Sen (Ashutosh Rana) dies unexpectedly in a flight accident, leaving behind an estate worth nearly ₹24,000 crores. Before his death, he writes a will distributing his wealth equally among all his relatives, with one condition: they must spend a week on Moksha Island. Agreeing to this, Vishwak Sen's family members land on the island, but unexpected events unfold, leading to their deaths one by one. What is the mystery of Moksha Island? Why did Vishwak impose the condition to stay on the island for a week? Are the people who went there really Vishwak's family members or not? What is Vishwak's connection to Moksha Island? That is the story. Performance The web series "The Mystery of Moksha Island" features several actors. Among them, Priya Anand, Nandu, and Ashutosh Rana stand out. Nandu justifies his role as a young man determined to solve the island mystery, while Ashutosh Rana is compelling as a cunning scientist. Tejaswi Madivada and Akshara Gowda attract more with their glamour than their acting. Roshan Kanakala, son of the famous anchor Suma Kanakala, impresses in a gay role. Bhanuchander, Sonia Agarwal, Ajay Katurvar, and Satyakrishna, along with others, do justice to their roles with their performances. Direction Director Anish Kuruvilla has crafted a well-written mystery story set on an island. He designed characters with varied backgrounds for the series, showing an unknown side to each character. Who is killing those who set foot on the island? Episodes where everyone suspects each other build suspense. The director engages the audience with numerous questions about the island over six episodes. The way he unravels the mysteries in the final two episodes is satisfying, although having too many characters on screen can be confusing. Romantic and bold scenes might be uncomfortable for family audiences. The climax might not be as satisfying as expected. However, those who enjoy thriller genres will likely appreciate this series. Technically On the technical front, Naveen Yadav's cinematographer is impressive. He beautifully captures the beach episodes. The art department also performs well; the lab setup looks realistic. The background music provided by Shaktikanth Karthik is decent. The editing is okay, and the production values are good.
