    Game Changer: 'Raa Macha Macha' Ignites YouTube—Will It Fill the Theaters?
    Game Changer: 'Raa Macha Macha' Ignites YouTube—Will It Fill the Theaters?
    After 'RRR', Ram Charan stars in 'Game Changer' directed by Tamil star director Shankar. There are high expectations for this political action thriller produced by prominent Tollywood producer Dil Raju. Mega fans are eagerly waiting for the release of this movie. Meanwhile, the second single from 'Game Changer' has been released and is currently shaking up YouTube. Let's look into the details. Raa Macha Macha Song Release The global star Ram Charan is the hero in 'Game Changer' directed by Shankar. The hero's introduction song 'Raa Macha Macha' was released on Monday. The lyrics were penned by Ananta Sriram, and the music was composed by Thaman. The song was filmed entirely in the Vizag region with a grand setup and full of vibrant colors. Ram Charan's energetic dance steps are captivating the fans, particularly the 'Veena Step' famously associated with megastar Chiranjeevi performed by Ram Charan in this song. This has thrilled the mega fans, who are repeatedly watching the song in awe. Take a look at the song here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4HchiJJY6M Trending on YouTube Immediately after the release of 'Raa Macha Macha' from 'Game Changer', the song trended on YouTube. The song has been watched on a large scale, with viewers praising the fast beat. Remarkably, the song garnered 15 million views even before completing 24 hours, initially hitting 10 million views with the production company's post and adding another 5 million views soon after. Mega fans are confident that it will easily reach 50 million views. They are praising music director Thaman for providing a perfect mass song for Ram Charan’s dance. https://twitter.com/SVC_official/status/1840806582189507018 Why Was the Veena Step Hidden? Even though Ram Charan appears in classic looks in the 'Raa Macha Macha' song, his steps feel entirely massy. The 'Veena Step', a memorable moment in Chiranjeevi’s career, performed by Ram Charan in this song, is expected to be a highlight. It seems clear that this step, specifically performed by Charan with the intention of showcasing it directly in theatres, has not been revealed yet. Fans are highly excited to see how Charan performed it, predicting that if the song clicks, theatres will indeed be packed. Uncertainty Over the Release Date Despite the producer Dil Raju giving clarity that 'Game Changer' will be released on December 25, there remains uncertainty among fans about the exact release date. At a previous event, Dil Raju announced the release for December 20, but it has now been pushed five days later. Fans are puzzled over which of the two dates to believe. Ram Charan's Future Projects It is known that Ram Charan and Tamil director Shankar are collaborating on 'Game Changer', which is strongly buzzed to be a Christmas release. Following this, Ram Charan is set to act under the direction of 'Uppena' fame Buchi Babu in a project tentatively titled 'RC16', which will soon go on floors. After this movie, he is scheduled to work with director Sukumar. An official announcement regarding this project has already been made. The film with Sukumar is set to start after the release of 'Pushpa 2'.

    Ram Charan Rejects Reshoots for 'Game Changer' Amid Shankar's Demands?
    Ram Charan Rejects Reshoots for 'Game Changer' Amid Shankar's Demands?
    Following the massive success of 'RRR', Ram Charan is starring in the highly anticipated film 'Game Changer', directed by Tamil cinema's renowned Director Shankar. This political action thriller, produced by prominent Tollywood producer Dil Raju, has generated significant buzz among the audience. As fans eagerly await its release, let's dive into some recent updates, including a shocking piece of news circulating online. Ram Charan Says No! There's a strong buzz that 'Game Changer' is set to release this December. Having completed the shooting recently, Ram Charan has shifted his focus to his next project under director Buchi Babu's 'RC16', for which he has grown out his hair and bulked up. However, it's reported that Director Shankar is dissatisfied with certain scenes from 'Game Changer' and wants them reshot. Producer Dil Raju is said to have communicated this to Ram Charan, who has reportedly refused. Ram Charan believes that changing back to the 'Game Changer' look would delay the shooting of 'RC16', which already has scheduled dates, making it difficult to adjust. Dissatisfaction with Shankar! 'Game Changer' is Ram Charan's prestigious project post-'RRR', to which he has dedicated considerable time. However, Director Shankar has been simultaneously directing 'Indian 2', which has caused multiple breaks in the shooting schedule of 'Game Changer'. At one point, Shankar completely halted 'Game Changer', leading to a two-month shooting delay. This repeated disruption has reportedly frustrated Ram Charan. Now that the film's shooting is complete, the idea of reshooting does not sit well with him, especially after dedicating two years to the project. The industry buzz is that Ram Charan's refusal is also due to his commitment to 'RC16'. The Second Single is Coming! 'Mega' expectations surround the 'Game Changer' film. Any minor update about this movie instantly goes viral online. The makers have officially announced the release of the second single from the movie. On September 28th, the promo for the second song 'Ra Macha Macha' will be released, expected to be a solid mass beat by musical sensation Thaman. The first song 'Jaragandi Jaragandi' from 'Game Changer' was a sensation, which adds to the excitement. https://twitter.com/GameChangerOffl/status/1838889991860060639 All Eyes on 'Game Changer'! Director Shankar's recent release 'Indian 2' underwhelmed the audience, leading to significant online criticism that it didn't feel like a typical Shankar film. His previous films like 'Robot 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehitudu' also underperformed at the box office. Thus, 'Game Changer' has become critical for Shankar to regain his successful track. Producer Dil Raju also faces pressure as his last film 'Family Star', featuring Vijay Deverakonda, flopped dramatically at the box office, incurring heavy losses. The industry is now abuzz with hopes that 'Game Changer' will overturn the recent failures. Both the director and producer are pinning their hopes on the success of this Ram Charan movie.

    'Game Changer' Release Date Locked announcement on Vinayaka Chavithi?
    'Game Changer' Release Date Locked announcement on Vinayaka Chavithi?
    Following 'RRR,' Ram Charan stars in the highly anticipated film 'Game Changer,' directed by Tamil star director Shankar. This political action thriller is produced by prominent Tollywood producer Dil Raju. Fans are eagerly waiting to know when this film will hit the screens. Recently, a significant update regarding the release date of 'Game Changer' has emerged, suggesting a big surprise on Vinayaka Chavithi. Let's look at the details. Release Date Locked? It appears that a major update is ready for the film 'Game Changer.' The movie team is planning to unveil a poster with the much-awaited release date. The film is set for a pan-India release on December 20, as a Christmas gift. There's buzz that an official announcement regarding the release date will be made on September 7, during Vinayaka Chavithi, potentially through a special poster. Producer Dil Raju recently confirmed at a movie event that 'Game Changer' would be released in December, delighting mega fans. Teaser Ready to Launch So far, the 'Game Changer' movie has not released content up to the expected level. In response, the makers are preparing to release a teaser soon. They plan to surprise mega fans with the teaser this month, giving a full treat with two updates within the same month. Industry insiders speculate that the teaser might be released in the last week of September. If this happens, it will be a joyous occasion for Ram Charan's fans. Why Only for Christmas! It seems that mega hero Ram Charan is following in the footsteps of pan-India star Prabhas. Prabhas' film 'Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire' was released last Christmas and achieved blockbuster success. However, there's a reason why 'Salaar' was released during Christmas. With Mahesh Babu (Guntur Karam), Nagarjuna (Naa Saami Ranga), Venkatesh (Saindhav), and Teja Sajja (HanuMan) competing in the 2024 Sankranti season, it was decided to release 'Salaar' solo during Christmas for better box office results. Now, Ram Charan & Co are also contemplating a similar strategy. With Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' locked for Sankranti 2025, and other major films like Venkatesh-Anil Ravipudi's film, Ajith's 'Good Bad Ugly', and 'Shatamanam Bhavati 2' also likely to compete, a Christmas release would enable Ram Charan to make a significant impact at the box office, just like Prabhas. Director Shankar's High Hopes! Director Shankar's recent release 'Bharateeyudu 2' was met with severe disappointment, with netizens commenting that it did not feel like a typical Shankar film. His previous films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office. Therefore, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar to return to the path of success. Producer Dil Raju is also hoping to recover from the disappointment of his last film 'Family Star,' starring Vijay Deverakonda, which was a significant failure at the box office. Currently, both the director and producer are pinning their hopes on the success of the Charan movie.

    Unpacking 'Mr. Bachchan' Movie Review: A Blend of Action, Comedy, and Romance
    Unpacking 'Mr. Bachchan' Movie Review: A Blend of Action, Comedy, and Romance
    Cast: Ravi Teja, Bhagyashri Borse, Jagapathi Babu, Sachin Khedekar, Shubhaleka Sudhakar, Kishore Raju Vashisht, Satya, Chammak Chandra, and others. Director: Harish Shankar Music: Mickey J. Meyer Cinematography: Ayananka Bose Editor: Ujwal Kulkarni Producers: TG Vishwaprasad, Bhushan Kumar, Krishnan Kumar, Abhishek The latest film featuring Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja under the direction of Harish Shankar is titled "Mr. Bachchan." Bollywood beauty Bhagyashri Borse stars as the heroine. Following the blockbuster "Mirapakay," the expectations for "Mr. Bachchan," another Ravi Teja-Harish Shankar combo, were sky-high. Trailers, teasers, and promotional images significantly raised expectations. The movie was released on August 15th as an Independence Day treat. How was the film? Did it meet expectations? Did Ravi Teja score another hit? Let's find out in this review. What's the Story? Income Tax Officer Mr. Bachchan (Ravi Teja) is an honest man. He becomes the target of wrath from his superiors after raiding a corrupt tobacco trader, leading to his suspension. Afterwards, Mr. Bachchan returns to his hometown, Kotipalli, and falls in love with Jikki (Bhagyashri). Just as he's preparing to marry, he's called back to his job. His next assignment is a raid at the home of MP Muthyam Jaggaiah (Jagapathi Babu), a man even officials fear. How did Bachchan conduct the raid in Jaggaiah’s home? What challenges did he face there? How did Bachchan and Jikki's love affair turn out? How did the elders agree to their marriage? Ultimately, what does Mr. Bachchan achieve? This is the rest of the story. How Did They Perform? Ravi Teja appears very powerful as Mr. Bachchan, dazzling with his unique style of comedy and reminiscent of the Ravi Teja of the past. He marked his presence in both action sequences and emotional scenes, showing versatility adapted to the situations. Bhagyashri Borse charmed with her glamor, especially shining in the songs. Jagapathi Babu fully justified his role as the antagonist. Comedian Satya entertained with his comedy, especially in the first half. Sachin Khedekar, Tanikella Bharani, Gautami, and Praveen also performed well in their respective roles, fitting perfectly within their character limits. How's the Direction? Director Harish Shankar attempted to show through this film the benefits to society when an Income Tax Officer works with integrity. He well-crafted the character of Mr. Bachchan and its related scenes. The love track between Ravi Teja and Bhagyashri Borse was a strong point of the movie. It played a crucial role in engaging the audience in the first half, along with Satya’s comedy. The climax leading up to the raid on Muthyam Jaggaiah's house and the subsequent action-packed scenes turned the narrative engaging. However, the magic of Harish’s direction faded somewhat in the second half. The entire second half revolving solely around the IT raid lessened the intrigue. A more interesting build-up between the hero and the villain's mind games would have been advantageous. A stronger portrayal of the villain’s role could have elevated the film to another level. Technically Technically, Mickey J. Meyer was the first hero for this film, providing catchy tunes suitable for the narrative. Songs like "Reppalu Dappulu," "Jikki," "Sitara," and "Nallanchu Tella Cheera" were a feast for both ears and eyes. Ayananka Bose's cinematographer was captivating. The production values were high. Plus Points - Ravi Teja’s performance - Love track - Comedy, Dialogues Minus Points - Second half - Some boring scenes Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

    Game Changer: Mega Fans in Tension.. 'Game Changer' Not Releasing This Year?
    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.

    Yellamma: Young Hero Confirmed for Balagam Venu’s Project, Nani and Teja Sajja Replaced!
    Yellamma: Young Hero Confirmed for Balagam Venu’s Project, Nani and Teja Sajja Replaced!
    Venu Yeldandi, who entered the industry as a comedian, built his career by playing small roles initially. He then gained popularity as a team leader in the 'Jabardasth' comedy show. Shifting gears to directing, Venu's last year's film 'Balagam' was a blockbuster success, set against a rural Telangana background and received critical acclaim. Naturally, all eyes were on Venu's next project. However, a year after 'Balagam', the absence of a new project announcement from Venu sparked mixed reactions among fans. Amidst this, there’s a strong buzz that Venu has locked a project with a young hero. Venu Directing Nithiin! Venu Yeldandi had previously announced that his second film would be under the banner of producer Dil Raju, who also produced 'Balagam'. The story for this second movie has been ready for a while, and Venu is expected to start production soon. It is rumored that he will be directing young hero Nithiin in his next film. Nithiin has reportedly agreed to the project after some changes were made to the story. If all goes well, the film is expected to start soon. The film, known as 'Yellamma', has also been registered as a title, generating buzz in Tollywood. Nani, Teja Sajja Rejected! Initially, there was significant buzz that Venu Yeldandi's next project would feature Natural Star Nani. Venu had pitched the 'Yellamma' story to Nani, but he was reportedly not satisfied with the second half of the script. Venu stood by the story, leading to Nani's withdrawal from the project. Subsequently, the story was pitched to Teja Sajja, who initially agreed, but this combination did not materialize due to unavoidable reasons. Finally, Venu presented the story to Nithiin, who gave his approval. When Does Shooting Start? Venu Yeldandi’s 'Yellamma' is set to start shooting in February next year. The announcement was made by producer Dil Raju during the pre-release event of 'Janaka Ayithe Ganaka'. Venu was also present at the event. As Venu approached the stage, Dil Raju from the audience asked about Yellamma's start date. Venu humorously replied, "You are the master of all actions here; you tell us. I'm ready to start tomorrow if you say so." To which Dil Raju clarified, "Let’s start in February." https://twitter.com/i/status/1844354638587498984 Awards Galore for 'Balagam' The film 'Balagam', starring comedian Priyadarshi and Kavya Kalyanram, released on March 3 last year, without much initial hype but greatly attracted family audiences, especially from rural areas of Telangana. Special shows were even held in villages. This year in August, 'Balagam' won three Filmfare Awards, as well as one SIIMA and one Santosham Award, marking its critical and popular success.

    Sankranti Clash: Ram Charan's 'Game Changer' vs Naga Chaitanya's 'Thandel' Set to Ignite Box Office
    Sankranti Clash: Ram Charan's 'Game Changer' vs Naga Chaitanya's 'Thandel' Set to Ignite Box Office
    Featuring Ram Charan, and directed by Shankar, the film 'Game Changer' is up next after the global hit 'RRR', setting high expectations. With Megastar Chiranjeevi withdrawing his film 'Vishwambhara' from the race, producer Dil Raju has officially announced the release of 'Game Changer' as a Sankranti gift. Meanwhile, Nagarjuna’s son, Naga Chaitanya, seems ready to compete with Charan, as strong buzz suggests his latest film 'Thandel' is targeting Sankranti too. Thandel Enters the Sankranti Race! Starring Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, 'Thandel' is generating significant buzz in Tollywood as a romantic action drama. Following their previous blockbuster, 'Love Story', expectations are high for this duo’s second film together. Movie lovers are eagerly awaiting this release, which the makers plan to push for a Sankranti release. Initially, the producers planned to release the film on December 20, but due to pending work, a Sankranti 2025 release is now deemed more suitable, with an official announcement expected soon. Charan Versus Chaitu In Tollywood history, Megastar Chiranjeevi and Akkineni Nagarjuna have clashed several times during Sankranti. This Sankranti, their heirs are set to battle it out, adding intrigue to the festive season. Following the success of RRR, Ram Charan has gained international fame, which he hopes to bolster with 'Game Changer'. On the other hand, Chaitanya is yet to secure a hit following 'Love Story'. With 'Thandel', he aims to reclaim his spot in the hit track. The repeat pairing of Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi in 'Thandel' is anticipated to yield positive results. It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious in this face-off. Strong Competition from Balakrishna! Alongside 'Game Changer' and 'Thandel', Nandamuri Balakrishna will also be a strong contender this Sankranti. Directed by Bobby, 'NBK 109' is gearing up for a festive release. Balakrishna’s films have been successful in the last two Sankranti seasons, indicating stiff competition for 'Game Changer' and 'Thandel'. Additionally, a film directed by Anil Ravipudi starring Venkatesh is also likely to release during Sankranti, along with Sundeep Kishan's 'Majaka', making this Sankranti a battleground at the box office. The Story of 'Thandel' 'Thandel' is Naga Chaitanya’s 23rd film, with music by Devi Sri Prasad. In this film, Chaitanya plays a fisherman. The story revolves around a group of fishermen from Srikakulam who go to Veeraval in Gujarat for fishing and get caught by the Pakistani Coast Guard. The film explores the events that unfold thereafter. In Gujarati, 'Thandel' means a boat operator, a term commonly used by people in the villages along the Gujarat-Pakistan border, as revealed by director Chandu Mondeti in an interview.

    Janaka Aithe Ganaka Review:  Middle-Class Hero Takes On Condom Company – Did He Win?
    Janaka Aithe Ganaka Review: Middle-Class Hero Takes On Condom Company – Did He Win?
    Cast: Suhas, Sankirthana Vipin, Murali Sharma, Rajendra Prasad, Vennela Kishore, Goparaju Ramana, Acharya Srikant, and othersWriter, Director: Sandeep Reddy BandlaMusic: Vijay BulganinCinematography: Sai SriramProducers: Dil Raju, Hanshitha Reddy, Harshith ReddyRelease Date: October 12, 2024 Young hero Suhas is on a roll, releasing films back-to-back and delivering good hits with unique stories. His latest film 'Janaka Aithe Ganaka' falls in line with this streak. Sankirthana plays the heroine. The film is produced by Dil Raju Productions and directed by Sandeep Bandla. It was released on October 12, 2024, with premieres held two days earlier. So, how is this movie? Has Suhas delivered another hit? Let's find out in this review. Plot Prasad (Suhas) is a middle-class man who, due to financial limitations, feels he can't provide "the best" for his children, so he decides not to have kids for the first two years of his marriage. His wife (Sankirthana Vipin) agrees with his decision, and his father (Goparaju Ramana) remains silent on the matter. However, unexpectedly, Prasad's wife becomes pregnant. Convinced that the condom failed, Prasad decides to sue the company. How does the case proceed? What changes occur in Prasad's life? Does he win the case? To find out, you have to watch the movie. Performance Analysis Suhas shines once again in his role as a middle-class hero. He convincingly portrays a man who insists on not having children but ends up becoming a father. Sankirthana delivers an excellent performance as Prasad's wife, playing the obedient and supportive homemaker. Rajendra Prasad, Murali Sharma, and Vennela Kishore all do justice to their roles, making for an impressive cast. Direction Director Sandeep Reddy Bandla scored full marks for the storyline. He presents a fresh take, distinct from routine films. He paints a vivid picture of the life of a middle-class man, his struggles after marriage, and all the expenses involved. The scenes related to pregnancy are touching and connect well with couples who might have avoided having children. The court scenes are humorously portrayed, adding light-hearted moments to the narrative. While some court scenes and the logic around child expenses lack coherence, the humor compensates for these gaps. However, the predictable storyline and lack of significant twists are the negatives. Technical Aspects In terms of technical aspects, the cinematography is well done. The background score is a major plus for the film, although the songs aren't particularly memorable. Editing is just okay, while the production values are top-notch, with no compromises from the producers.

    Ram Charan’s 'Game Changer' to Clash with Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' This Sankranti?!
    Ram Charan’s 'Game Changer' to Clash with Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' This Sankranti?!
    Ram Charan, in collaboration with director Shankar, is shaping up a Pan-India film titled 'Game Changer'. This is Ram Charan's first project after the colossal success of 'RRR', setting high expectations. The movie, being developed as a political action thriller, is produced by Tollywood producer Dil Raju. Mega fans are eagerly anticipating its release, scheduled as a Christmas treat. However, there’s a strong buzz that the film might also contend in the Sankranti race, sparking interest on whether it will pose a strong competition to Chiranjeevi's own film already slated for Pongal. From Christmas to Sankranti Lock-in! Sankranti is a major festival in the Telugu states, a popular release window for big-star films. Alongside this, Megastar Chiranjeevi has also locked his upcoming film 'Vishwambhara' for the Pongal race. Following this, there are talks within film circles that Ram Charan’s latest 'Game Changer' may also target a Sankranti release. Given the ongoing post-production work, a Christmas release might not be feasible, hence the makers are considering a shift to Sankranti to optimize returns, setting the stage for a potential box office clash between Chiru and Charan. Is Distributor Pressure the Cause? The shift of 'Game Changer' from December to Sankranti is reportedly due to distributor pressure. Distributors believe that moving this high-budget film to Sankranti would be more profitable than a Christmas release, as releasing during the Christmas period might not be as lucrative. Additionally, the concern is that with movies releasing around January 10 for Sankranti, missing this window could potentially result in a loss of long-period collections, as the film would only have a 20-day run to make a substantial impact. Will Chiru Step Back? Although father and son, Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan have yet to clash at the box office. If 'Vishwambhara' versus 'Game Changer' happens, it might send mixed signals to the fans, creating a dilemma on which movie to support during the release. Film circles speculate that Chiranjeevi might consider postponing 'Vishwambhara' to avoid a direct clash for his son’s sake, especially given the ongoing uncertainty over 'Game Changer’s' release date. Producer Dil Raju and music director Thaman have initially promoted the film for a Christmas release, yet the fans remain skeptical, now with heightened promotions pointing towards a Sankranti release. Missing the Sankranti window could deeply dissatisfied Mega fans, pressing the makers to lock the date for the festival. Charan Says No to Reshoots! Ram Charan has recently completed shooting for 'Game Changer' and shifted his focus to his next film under Buchibabu’s direction, ‘RC16’, adopting a new long-haired look and physique. However, recent reports suggest director Shankar was dissatisfied with some scenes from 'Game Changer', considering reshoots with Charan. When this was brought to Charan’s attention by producer Dil Raju, he declined, fearing it would delay his ongoing project 'RC16', for which dates were already committed. Charan-Neel Combo Loading! Another exciting project is brewing for Ram Charan with Prashanth Neel, known for delivering blockbusters like 'KGF' and 'Salaar'. Discussions have reportedly concluded for this venture, which DVV Danayya is expected to produce. However, this project might take time to commence, as Neel is currently occupied with 'NTR 31', 'Salaar 2', and 'KGF 3'. Charan also has upcoming commitments with directors Buchibabu and Sukumar, only after which the Charan-Neel movie might take off.

Govind Raju Produced by: Jyothika, Suriya Release Date: 28-09-2024 In the C. Prem Kumar directorial, starring Tamil star hero Karthi who previously delighted audiences with feel-good movies like '96', the film titled 'Meiyazhagan' in Tamil, has been brought to the Telugu audience as 'Satyam Sundaram'. Aravind Swamy plays a pivotal role in this film, which is notably produced under the banner of 2D Entertainment by Suriya and Jyothika. Released today (September 28), how does this film fare? Did it manage to impress the audience? Let's delve into the review. What's the Story Satyam (Aravind Swamy), hailing from Guntur, leaves his home and village due to property disputes and relocates to Visakhapatnam. After 30 years, a situation arises requiring him to return to his village for his niece’s wedding. Upon his return, Satyam reconnects with a relative (Karthi) at the wedding. Calling each other 'Bava' (brother-in-law), they bond over numerous conversations. Initially irritated by Karthi’s intrusive manners, Satyam eventually warms up to his affection and admiration. What turns does their journey take? How does Satyam rediscover himself through this journey? What is the nature of his relationship with the person he calls 'Bava'? Does he finally remember his name, or not? That forms the rest of the story.

Having previously only played comedic and supporting roles, she proves her ability to handle a role with depth with ease. Srividya, Rajkiran, and Jayaprakash, although in minor roles, significantly impact the story. The rest of the cast performed well within their roles. Direction The director, C. Prem Kumar, attempts to convey that for a person to live happily, the presence of a loving individual is as necessary as money and fame. The film starts intriguingly, showing why Satyam left his village. His return for a wedding, the introduction of Karthi’s character, his mischief, and the troubles Satyam faces with Karthi unknowingly, are all portrayed entertainingly. The director shifts the setting to Karthi’s home, where Satyam’s experiences are heartfelt and take the audience back in time. The mental turmoil Satyam goes through upon not recognizing Karthi adds weight to the narrative. The climax is also well-executed. The film, like a beautiful novel, successfully comes to life on screen, directed flawlessly by Kumar. The slow pace of the story and lack of commercial elements could be seen as drawbacks. Technically On the technical front, the background music adds an additional layer of allure to the story, with a continual melody that enhances the emotional depth of the narrative. The visuals are captivating, and the production values are high.

    Aho Vikramarka Movie Review: Dev Gill's 'Aho! Vikramarka' Struggles to Impress
    Aho Vikramarka Movie Review: Dev Gill's 'Aho! Vikramarka' Struggles to Impress
    Cast: Dev Gill, Chitra Shukla, Tejaswini Pandit, Praveen Tarde, Posani Krishna Murali, Sayaji Shinde, Prabhakar, and others Director: Peta Trikoti Screenplay and Dialogue: Prasad Varma Music: Ravi Basrur Editor: Tammi Raju Producers: Dev Gill, Mihir Sudhir, Ashwani Kumar Mishra Release Date: August 30, 2024 Actor Dev Gill, known for his role as a villain in Magadheera, has gained recognition in several Telugu films. His latest film as a protagonist, 'Aho! Vikramarka,directed by Trikoti, is released on August 30. How did the film turn out? Did hero Dev Gill succeed? Let's find out in this review. Plot In Pune, 1200 laborers from a colony disappear without a trace for 25 years, leaving their families in despair, not knowing whether they are alive or dead. During this period, Vikramarka (Dev Gill) is transferred to the Pune police station as an SI. Initially, he colluded with the drug mafia led by Bilal (Posani Krishna Murali). Influenced by his girlfriend Archana (Chitra Shukla), he transforms into an honest police officer. What incident prompted Vikramarka's change? What happened to the missing laborers? Was Vikramarka able to save them? What challenges did he face in this process? This is the story. Performances Dev Gill has shown his mark in action scenes. With experience playing villains in various films, he seemed to handle action effortlessly. However, he struggled significantly in love scenes and emotional sequences, failing to express emotions convincingly. Chitra Shukla delivered a solid performance as the heroine, fitting well into her role. Praveen and Tejaswini Pandit, as the villain and ACP Bhavani respectively, were compelling. Posani Krishna Murali and Sayaji Shinde impressed with their seasoned acting. The rest of the cast was satisfactory. Direction Directed by Peta Trikoti, the film reminds one of Telugu hits like 'Temper' and 'Pataas.' However, the plot lacks novelty, and the narration isn't engaging. The director failed to extract compelling performances corresponding to the story's demands. The love track between the hero and heroine feels quite tedious, and Dev Gill's romantic looks recall his villain roles. Nonetheless, Trikoti made an effort to showcase his style in the fight scenes, which are somewhat interesting when the hero confronts the villains. Technically... The art department performed well. Ravi Basrur's music was underwhelming, though the background score was passable in places. The production values were high, with no compromise on the budget. Plus Points Action sequences Production values Minus Points Story and narration Hero's acting Scenes lacking logic Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 1.5/5

    Niharika Konidela's 'Committee Kurrollu': A Vibrant Tapestry of Love, Politics, and Village Festivities
    Niharika Konidela's 'Committee Kurrollu': A Vibrant Tapestry of Love, Politics, and Village Festivities
    Cast: Sandeep Saroj, Yashwant Pendyala, Eshwar Rachiraju, Trinath Varma, Prasad Behara, Tina Shravya, Radya Suresh, Tejashwi Rao, Saikumar Director: Yadhu Vamsi Music: Anudeep Dev Cinematographer: Raju Eduroulu Editor: Anwar Ali Producer: Niharika Konidela Release Date: 09-08-2024 Niharika Konidela’s latest production, 'Committee Kurrollu,' has been released. The film features lead roles by Sandeep Saroj, Yaswanth Pendyala, Eshwar Rachiraju, Trinath Varma, and Prasad Behara, with Sai Kumar, Goparaju Raman, and others in significant roles. Directed by Yadhu Vamsi, the film hit theaters on August 9. Let's find out how the film has been received, if it has captivated audiences, and if it has brought success to producer Niharika Konidela in this review. Plot In Purushottampalli village of Godavari district, the Bharinkaalammatalli Jatra is celebrated once every 12 years. This festival, known as 'Bali Cheta,' holds great significance. This time, the festival coincides with the local Panchayat elections, prompting Sarpanch Polisetty Bujji (Sai Kumar) to face competition from Shiva (Sandeep Saroj), who decides to enter the fray. A tragedy at the festival 12 years ago, which resulted in the death of one of Shiva’s friends due to a caste conflict, leads to a resolution in the Panchayat to halt all election campaigning until the festival concludes. What happens next? How does the issue of reservations disrupt Shiva's gang? Did the friends who separated 12 years ago reunite? What role does Sarpanch Polisetty Bujji play? Did Shiva win the election as Sarpanch? Performances In this film, 11 young actors play the lead roles. Sandeep Saroj as Shiva, Trinath Varma as Subbu, Eshwar Rachiraju as William, and Yashwant Pendyala as Surya have all made commendable efforts to engage the audience with their distinct performances. The acting experience of Sai Kumar, Goparaju Raman, and Kancherapalem Kishore adds depth to the story. Prasad Behara's performance as the elder is captivating; he brings much humor to the comedic scenes and deep emotion to the dramatic ones. The other cast members have also performed commendably within their roles. Direction Director Yadhu Vamsi navigates the storyline set in the 90s, delicately touching upon the sensitive topic of reservations in society. The screenplay attempts to weave together friendship, love, caste issues, and politics. The dialogues, written in the local dialect of Godavari, and the vividly crafted festival scenes are particularly engaging. The first half progresses swiftly with typical Godavari-style comedy, and the interval builds intrigue. In the second half, the focus shifts more towards emotional scenes, though it feels slower compared to the first half. The scenes leading up to the climax offer a satirical take on today's political leaders. The love stories in the film are left somewhat unresolved, the resolution of the reservations issue is abruptly concluded, and some scenes feel unnecessarily stretched, which could be seen as drawbacks. Technically On the technical front, Anudeep Dev’s music stands out as a highlight of the film, especially the background score during the festival scenes. Cinematographer Raju’s camera work is commendable. The editing is adequate. The production values are high, showing that Niharika Konidela did not compromise on the budget. Plus Points - Story setting - Godavari style comedy - Festival scenes Minus Points - Slow-paced narration - Incomplete love narratives - Abrupt handling of the reservations issue Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

    Game Changer: Is the Release Date for 'Game Changer' Set? Ram Charan Follows in Prabhas' Footsteps!
    Game Changer: Is the Release Date for 'Game Changer' Set? Ram Charan Follows in Prabhas' Footsteps!
    Following the blockbuster success of 'RRR', Mega Power Star Ram Charan is set to appear in 'Game Changer', directed by renowned Tamil cinema director Shankar. This film has generated high expectations among audiences, including Mega fans and regular moviegoers alike. Recently, the film's producer, Dil Raju, sparked further excitement by making intriguing remarks and hinting at the release date for 'Game Changer', leading to a flurry of eager posts from fans about the confirmed release date. Is It Releasing on That Day? Produced by the prominent producer Dil Raju, 'Game Changer' is being crafted as a political action thriller. At the recent pre-release event of 'Raayan', Dil Raju responded about the release of 'Game Changer', hinting at a Christmas release. This suggests that 'Game Changer' might hit the screens on December 25 as a Christmas gift. It marks the 50th film produced under the Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, making it a prestigious project for Dil Raju. The editing work for this movie is currently underway. https://twitter.com/i/status/1815052022200013098 Ram Charan in Prabhas' Path! It appears that Mega Hero Ram Charan is emulating Pan India Star Prabhas. Last year, Prabhas starred in 'Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire,' which was released as a Christmas gift and became a blockbuster, grossing Rs. 700 crores worldwide on December 22, 2023. The decision to release during Christmas was strategic, aimed at avoiding competition with major stars like Mahesh Babu, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh, who had films lined up for the Sankranti festival in January 2024. Similarly, Ram Charan and his team are considering a solo Christmas release to ensure strong box office returns without facing competition from other big names. For Sankranti 2025, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' has been scheduled, and films like Venkatesh’s new project with Anil Ravipudi and Ajith’s 'Good Bad Ugly', as well as 'Shatamanam Bhavati 2' are also expected to release. Thus, releasing 'Game Changer' as a Christmas gift could potentially replicate the box office impact seen with 'Salaar.' High Hopes for Game Changer! Following the disappointment of Shankar's recent release 'Bharateeyudu 2', which failed to meet audience expectations and was widely criticized online, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar's return to success. Shankar's previous films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office, adding to the pressure. Dil Raju, too, is looking to rebound from the significant losses incurred from Vijay Deverakonda's 'Family Star', which was a box office disaster. The industry is abuzz with talk that 'Game Changer' will be a significant turnaround for both the director and the producer. All hopes for success are now pinned on this Ram Charan movie. Is This the Story? A leading OTT platform, Amazon Prime, has already revealed the storyline of 'Game Changer'. Announcing its upcoming films on their platform, Amazon Prime unveiled the plot of 'Game Changer', which revolves around an honest IAS officer fighting political corruption. Reports suggest that Charan will be seen in dual roles as father and son. Kiara Advani is starring opposite Ram Charan. Other significant roles are played by Srikanth, Sunil, Naveen Chandra, Jayaram, Samuthirakani, and Anjali. S. S. Thaman is providing the music for this film.

    Bharateeyudu 3 Heading Straight to OTT: Can Shankar and Kamal Haasan Bounce Back After 'Bharateeyudu 2' Flop?
    Bharateeyudu 3 Heading Straight to OTT: Can Shankar and Kamal Haasan Bounce Back After 'Bharateeyudu 2' Flop?
    The film 'Bharateeyudu', which featured the successful combo of Kamal Haasan and director Shankar, created a sensation in the past. Its sequel 'Bharateeyudu 2' was released on July 12 this year amidst high pan-India expectations but unexpectedly ended up as a disaster. The film drastically failed to meet the audience's expectations. However, during the climax of this film, director Shankar confirmed the coming of 'Bharateeyudu 3' with a special trailer. Recently, there’s buzzing excitement around the third part, with rumors suggesting it’s heading directly to OTT. Let’s try to find out the truth. ‘Bharateeyudu 3’ Heading Straight to OTT! Another film under the direction of Shankar, starring Kamal Haasan, 'Bharateeyudu 3' is in continuation of their previous successful ventures. The second part, released in July this year, failed to win the audience's favor, leading to theatrical issues for the third installment. There seems to be reluctance from theater groups to take a risk on it. In this context, makers are preparing to directly release the third part on OTT, as is strongly circulated in Kollywood circles. However, netizens comment that releasing a film by Shankar and Kamal Haasan, who have a pan-India reputation, directly on OTT could be seen as a disgrace. Confirmed by OTT Circles! It's confirmed by Netflix circles that 'Bharateeyudu 3' will definitely be coming to OTT. There's a chance it will be streaming by January 2025, likely as a treat for Sankranti. An official announcement is expected soon. Meanwhile, 'Bharateeyudu 2', despite its flop talk in theaters, streamed on Netflix but failed to achieve expected viewership levels. Due to this, it’s rumored that the OTT rights for 'Bharateeyudu 3' might sell for a lower price. Harsh Trolls for 'Bharateeyudu 2'! In 'Bharateeyudu 2', Kamal Haasan appeared as a 106-year-old man, which brought significant trolling for the unrealistic portrayal of such an aged person performing action sequences. Critics pointed out that the plot and narrative of 'Bharateeyudu 2' were poor, and it did not resemble a typical Shankar film. Will a Game Changer Save the Day? The film 'Bharateeyudu 2' directed by Shankar was a massive disappointment. Following underperformances of Shankar's earlier films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehitudu' at the box office, there's a pressing need for a game-changer to revive his success streak. The success of this movie could potentially reestablish Shankar’s fame at a pan-India level, while failure might put his career at risk. Similarly, for producer Dil Raju, this game-changer is crucial to recover from past losses incurred under the 'Family Star' banner.

    'Devara’ Breaks the 23-Year Rajamouli Sentiment: NTR’s Film Triumphs After RRR
    'Devara’ Breaks the 23-Year Rajamouli Sentiment: NTR’s Film Triumphs After RRR
    The latest film featuring the Man of the Masses, Tarak, titled 'Devara' has been released grandly today (September 27). Despite some mixed opinions, the film overall is being touted as a hit. The music by Anirudh is reportedly next level. Having shattered several records even before its release, the film is expected to achieve even more milestones, with fans confident about its success. Interestingly, it's said that Tarak has broken a flop record of Rajamouli that has been ongoing for 23 years, declared by none other than Rajamouli's son. Rajamouli’s Flop Sentiment! It’s a well-known fact that a film with director Rajamouli is a blockbuster. However, post a Rajamouli film, no hero until now has managed an immediate hit. Every hero has faced a box office disaster following their film with Rajamouli, a sentiment that started 23 years ago with Rajamouli’s first film 'Student No.1'. Following 'Student No.1' and 'Simhadri', Tarak faced major failures. Similarly, post 'Vikramarkudu' Ravi Teja, post 'Maryada Ramanna' Sunil, and post 'Eega' Nani all faced flops. After 'Baahubali 2', Prabhas, Rana, and Anushka also failed in their subsequent films. Naturally, there were apprehensions about 'Devara' following 'RRR' with Tarak. Breaking the 23-Year Record The flop sentiment with Rajamouli started with Tarak on September 27, 2001, with the release of 'Student No.1'. 23 years later, on the same day, 'Devara' was released and has garnered hit talk, thus ending the flop cycle that started on the same day with the same person 23 years ago. This has sparked a flurry of comments on social media that Tarak has shattered the bad sentiment linked with Rajamouli. Now, fans believe that no hero needs to worry about the Rajamouli flop sentiment anymore. Karthikeya’s Special Post Karthikeya, Rajamouli's son, also tweeted about this, "Finally, the 23-year myth has been broken. It ended on the same day it began with the same person. I grew up watching him closely, seeing his growth and success. Now I see the wonders he's performing. I am speechless at the contribution he’s making to Telugu cinema. This is a big gift he has given to the fans. Devara is the biggest mass celebration in cinema. Now, even the madness speaks. All hail the tiger," along with a photo taken with NTR. https://twitter.com/ssk1122/status/1839476779175567669 Rajamouli Watching Devara with Fans The buzz around 'Devara' is evident across theaters in the Telugu states. After nearly six years, NTR's solo movie has his fans ecstatic. Amid this festive atmosphere, Rajamouli watched the film. Accompanied by his family, he greeted movie enthusiasts at the Maithri Vimal theater in Balanagar and watched the film with them. Videos related to this are going viral online. Producer Dil Raju and director Anil Ravipudi watched the movie at Sriramulu theater. Meanwhile, in a theater in Chennai, music director Anirudh watched the movie with fans and charged up the atmosphere by singing the Fear song. https://twitter.com/ArtistryBuzz/status/1839517947548794958 https://twitter.com/AnirudhTrend/status/1839516079560802450

    VD 12: Vijay Deverakonda Chilling in Sri Lanka, Viral Video of Him Steering a Boat!
    Vijay Deverakonda is one of the popular young heroes in Tollywood who has made a name for himself without any film background. He became an overnight star with the movie ‘Arjun Reddy’. His subsequent successes with 'Pelli Choopulu', 'Taxiwaala', and 'Geetha Govindam' secured his place in the Telugu film industry. However, his recent movies 'Liger', 'Kushi', and 'Family Star' did not do well at the box office. Currently, there are high hopes for his ongoing project 'VD12'.

He shared a video of a sunset boat ride on his Instagram account, which has been widely shared and celebrated by his fans for his boat driving skills.

Producer Nagavanshi recently spoke about 'VD 12', mentioning that the movie will be released in two parts. "I am not taking any risks with Vijay Deverakonda’s film. The content justifies two parts, and based on the outcome of the first part, we will proceed with the second," he said, confident of a hit. This is the first time a Vijay Deverakonda film will be made in two parts, as all his previous films were single installments. If all goes as planned, fans might see sequels in Vijay's career too. Competition with Pawan! With the announcement of the release date of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' on Monday (September 23), a box office clash between Pawan and Vijay seems likely. 'VD 12' is set to release next year on March 28, the same day as 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu'. Fans of Vijay are gearing up for a big fight at the box office against a big star like Pawan. The producers close to Pawan, Sitara Entertainments, are producing 'VD 12', which might not push them to reschedule. Industry insiders speculate that it is unlikely for 'VD 12' to find a new release date given the circumstances. Vijay’s Future Projects! Currently, Vijay Deverakonda has a couple of exciting projects in hand besides 'VD 12'. Post 'Family Star', he is set to work on another project produced by Dil Raju and directed by Ravikiran Kola. Additionally, he is undertaking another project under the direction of Rahul Sankrityan, which is expected to be a period drama set in the Rayalaseema backdrop. Rashmika Mandanna is rumored to be cast opposite Vijay in this film.

Director Buchi Babu is reportedly making 'RC16' with a unique concept set against a village backdrop focusing on traditional wrestling.

It's believed that Ekambaram’s involvement is crucial for achieving the film's desired historical accuracy. Two Films on the Sets! It’s been 17 years since Mega Power Star Ram Charan entered the industry as the son of Chiranjeevi. There’s criticism that Charan takes longer breaks between films compared to other stars. Thus, he’s planning to shoot two films per year. As part of this, even before the release of 'Game Changer', Charan announced his project with director Buchi Babu, 'RC16'. Simultaneously, he is set to work on 'RC17' directed by Sukumar. He aims to release these two films by 2026, much to the excitement of his fans. Thaman Leaks 'Game Changer' Release! The latest film 'Game Changer', starring Ram Charan, is set to be a Christmas release, as revealed by producer Dil Raju, though no specific date was announced. However, music director Thaman's recent post has filled in the gap. He tweeted, "Get ready for events and promotional material from next week until December 20." This has led fans and movie enthusiasts to joyfully anticipate the film’s release on December 20. https://twitter.com/MusicThaman/status/1836412745593286741
