      Game Changer Teaser Set to Drop in Lucknow: Ram Charan's High-Stakes Film Heads North for Pan-India Impact!
      Game Changer Teaser Set to Drop in Lucknow: Ram Charan's High-Stakes Film Heads North for Pan-India Impact!
      Following 'RRR', the highly anticipated film 'Game Changer' starring Ram Charan, directed by renowned director Shankar and produced by Telugu producer Dil Raju, is set to be a political action entertainer scheduled to release as a festive gift on January 10. As the release date approaches, the film's team is focusing on promotions, including locking in the date for the teaser release. It has been announced that the teaser will be released in Uttar Pradesh. Despite having two Telugu states, why is the teaser launch event planned in the North? It seems there is a master plan behind this decision. When is the teaser? In the upcoming film 'Game Changer,' Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani stars as the heroine alongside another heroine, Anjali, who plays a significant role. The film features Naveen Chandra, Sunil, Srikanth, Bollywood actor Harry Josh, Kollywood actors SJ Suryah, Samuthirakani, and Kannada actor Jayaram in key roles. Karthik Subbaraj provides the story, and Sai Madhav Burra delivers the dialogues. Recently, the movie team has fixed the teaser release for November 9th and announced that the launch event will take place in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Why in Lucknow? Initially, the 'Game Changer' teaser launch event was planned to be held in Hyderabad. However, due to local conditions and permissions, the venue was shifted to Lucknow. Given the film's pan-India release, nationwide promotions are deemed crucial. The movie team believes that starting the official promotions in the North could enhance accessibility and engagement with the audience there. Moreover, starting from the teaser release, the team plans to keep the buzz alive by releasing updates every two weeks. Ram Charan is performing dual roles, and it remains to be seen if the teaser will reveal the looks of these two characters. The First of its Kind! Tamil cinema's leading director, Shankar, has directed numerous blockbuster hits such as 'Gentleman', 'Premikudu', 'Bharateeyudu', 'Jeans', 'Oke Okkadu', 'Boys', 'Aparichitudu', 'Sivaji', and 'Robo', which were all popular in Telugu through dubbing. 'Game Changer' marks Shankar’s first direct Telugu film, and it is also his first collaboration with Ram Charan. Known for making films with strong messages, Shankar has crafted 'Game Changer' in the same vein, and it appears the teaser has been cut to introduce its theme. It will be interesting to see how much the teaser excites the audience. A Highlight for the Film! Recently, the 'Game Changer' team released a special poster hinting at an upcoming teaser. It sparked interest with an image of Charan sitting at a table with numerous gangsters charging towards him, suggesting it's the film’s introduction scene. Rumors suggest this mob fight will give viewers goosebumps similar to 'RRR' and is expected to be a major highlight of the film. After the fight, Charan reportedly boards a helicopter, followed by the song 'Ra Macha Macha.' Record Business? Trade circles predict 'Game Changer' will do substantial business in the Telugu states, with potential theatrical business around ₹150 crores from Andhra Pradesh, Ceded, and Nizam areas. Originally, such high business figures were not anticipated when the film was scheduled for a December release. However, with the release now set for Sankranthi, the business expectations have significantly increased, according to film circles.

      Game Changer: Big Update from 'Game Changer' for Diwali!
      Game Changer: Big Update from 'Game Changer' for Diwali!
      Starring global star Ram Charan, the political action thriller 'Game Changer' directed by Tamil star director Shankar is highly anticipated. Prominent Tollywood producer Dil Raju is producing this prestigious project. The makers have already announced that the film will be released for Sankranti. In this context, there's also a buzz about setting a date for the teaser release, which is adding to the excitement of Mega fans. Let's take a look at the details. Teaser for Diwali? In the upcoming film 'Game Changer' starring Ram Charan, Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani is playing the heroine, with Anjali also appearing in a significant role. The film also features Naveen Chandra, Sunil, Srikanth, Bollywood actor Hareesh Joshi, Kollywood actors SJ Suryah, Samuthirakani, and Kannada actor Jayaram in pivotal roles. The story is provided by Karthik Subbaraju with dialogues by Sai Madhav Burra. There's a buzz online that the teaser release time is fixed, and the makers plan to release the teaser as a Diwali gift. An official announcement is expected over the weekend, and Mega fans are eagerly waiting. Record Business in Telugu States? 'The Game Changer' is expected to do massive business in the Telugu states, with trade circles estimating theatrical business could reach around ₹150 crores in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. They expect ₹70 crores from Andhra, ₹25 crores from Ceeded, and ₹55 crores from the Nizam area. Initially, such business prospects weren't anticipated when the film was considered for a December release. However, with the release being pushed to Sankranti, the business potential has reportedly increased significantly. Charan Deserves Credit! A Sankranti release means tough competition among films. This Sankranti, alongside Balakrishna and Venkatesh, films from Sundeep Kishan and Naga Chaitanya's 'Thandel' are also set to release. Despite knowing the intense competition at the box office, distributors are ready to invest heavily. Trade circles say that no other hero's film could achieve this level of business if not for Charan, who deserves full credit in this regard. High Price for OTT Rights! The OTT rights for 'Game Changer' have reportedly sold for a record price. Amazon Prime has secured the streaming rights for ₹110 crores for just the South Indian languages. The makers are also attempting to sell the Hindi digital rights to another OTT platform. Overall, the makers are expected to make around ₹150 crores from OTT alone, which is extraordinary given that the film is still two months from release. ₹20 Crores for a Single Song! The first two songs from 'Game Changer,' "Jaragandi.. Jaragandi.." and "Ra Macha Macha," have received great responses. Particularly, "Ra Macha Macha" has gone viral nationwide on YouTube. The makers are preparing to release a third single by the end of October or the first week of November. While the first two songs came with powerful beats, the third single will be a melody. The latest buzz suggests that over ₹20 crores have been spent on this third song, though the makers need to confirm this.

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.

During the press meet, Anil Ravipudi shared a humorous yet nerve-wracking moment from the set involving VTV Ganesh. He recounted, "Ganesh sir asked me if I knew what a real gun felt like. Senior actor Naresh, who was on set, brought out his licensed gun. Without realizing it was loaded, I jokingly pointed it at Ganesh sir's head at point-blank range. Naresh panicked and immediately removed the bullets, explaining that even a slight touch could fire it. It was a close call. Ganesh sir, you must have a bright future, which is why you were saved that day!" Anil added that many such funny incidents occurred during the shoot. https://twitter.com/i/status/1859522147229573619 "That’s When the Industry Thrives" During the press meet, Venkatesh shared his thoughts, explaining that the team began production with the aim of releasing the film during Sankranti. He expressed confidence that the movie will resonate with fans and family audiences, offering them a fantastic festival watch. Venkatesh also extended his wishes for the success of Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, and Daku Maharaj, starring Balakrishna, both releasing during Sankranti.

Additionally, he is distributing Daku Maharaj, a Balakrishna starrer directed by Bobby. Speaking at the press meet, Dil Raju expressed his confidence in all three films achieving great success. He also humorously commented about Anil Ravipudi, saying, "Anticipating competition from Game Changer during Sankranti, Anil cleverly titled his movie Sankranthiki Vasthunnam." https://twitter.com/i/status/1859522147229573619 70% Theaters Reserved for Dil Raju’s Films!

      Game Changer Promotions Kick Off: Teaser Launch, Mega Events, and Global Hype Building for Ram Charan's Next Blockbuster!
      Starring mega power star Ram Charan, the latest film 'Game Changer', directed by Tamil star director Shankar, is a pan-Indian film set to release during the Sankranti festival next year. It will premiere globally on January 10. However, there has been some restlessness among mega fans regarding promotions and updates about 'Game Changer'. As the release date approaches, there is a growing call for the movie team to focus on promotions. Producer Dil Raju has made interesting remarks and announced the dates and locations of the promotional events in advance, much to the delight of mega fans. Promotion Plans Revealed Producer Dil Raju has provided clarity on the promotion events for 'Game Changer'. During a press meet held in Chennai, he revealed their promotion plans. Dil Raju stated that the teaser would be launched in Lucknow on the 9th of this month. Following that, a major event is planned in Dallas, USA. Another event is scheduled to take place in Chennai later on. Special events will be conducted in the first week of January across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. He also announced that 'Game Changer' will be released as a special for Sankranti on January 10th, mentioning that the film includes songs, commercial elements, and also a social message. https://twitter.com/TeamRCGuntur_/status/1854106243595690248 https://twitter.com/TheAakashavaani/status/1853657034605953343 Pre-Release Event in Tirupati! The movie team plans to hold a grand pre-release event for 'Game Changer' in Tirupati. If conditions permit, this event will take place in an open space in the presence of hundreds of thousands of fans. There are possibilities that Andhra Pradesh's Deputy Chief Minister and Ram Charan’s uncle, power star Pawan Kalyan, could be invited as the chief guest. Given the relationship with Ram Charan, it is unlikely that Pawan Kalyan would decline the invitation. Additionally, there is a plan to organize another promotional event in Hyderabad. Dil Raju’s 50th Film 'Game Changer' marks the 50th film in the prominent producer Dil Raju's career. He mentioned that director Shankar shared the story with him three years ago, which instantly piqued his interest. Co-producer Aditya Ram, who is a good friend and has produced four Telugu films, has been busy with business in Chennai. However, when approached to participate in the production of 'Game Changer', Aditya Ram immediately agreed. Sri Venkateswara Creations and Aditya Ram Movies will collaborate not only for 'Game Changer' but also for future projects. Concerns Over Shankar’s Form! After the blockbuster 'RRR', the mega fans were thrilled about Ram Charan's next film with director Shankar. However, the recent disaster of 'Bharateeyudu 2' directed by Shankar dampened their spirits. Netizens posted extensively that 'Bharateeyudu 2' didn’t feel like a typical Shankar film. Previous films directed by Shankar like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehitudu' also performed poorly at the box office, raising doubts among mega fans about his direction. Concerns are being expressed that if 'Game Changer' doesn’t perform well, it could lead to severe disappointment. On the other hand, 'Game Changer' is critical for Shankar to get back on the path of success. Producer Dil Raju also has high hopes for the film after facing significant losses with a 'Family Star' movie. Trending as Unpredictable The term 'Unpredictable' has been trending on social media for the past two days related to 'Game Changer', with many wondering why. Film industry sources say that 'Unpredictable' is a powerful line from the 'Game Changer' teaser spoken by Charan. Fans are already speculating in which context Charan will use this word in the film. It is also mentioned that the upcoming teaser on November 9th will have a runtime of 1 minute and 40 seconds.

      Pottel Movie Review: 'Rangasthalam' Level Telugu Film? Sandeep Reddy Vanga's BOLD Comparison, Ananya's De-glam Avatar Shocks, But Second Half DISAPPOINTS!
      Cast: Yuva Chandra Krishna, Ananya Nagalla, Ajay, Priyanka Sharma, Tanasvi Choudary, Noel Sean, Chatrapathi Shekhar, Srikanth Iyengar, Jeevan, Riyaz, Vikram, and others. Written and Directed by: Sahith Mothkuri Music by: Shekhar Chandra Cinematography by: Monish Bhupathi Raju Edited by: Karthika Srinivas Producers: Nishank Reddy Kudithi, Suresh Kumar Sadige Production Companies: Nisa Entertainments, Pragnya Sannidhi Creations Release Date: 25-10-2024 In the latest film Pottel, Ananya Nagalla and Yuva Chandra pair up in a film directed by Sahith Mothkuri, who made his directorial debut with the film Savari. Pottel has garnered unprecedented publicity for a small-scale cinema. Pan-India director Sandeep Reddy Vanga praised this film by comparing it with Ram Charan's 'Rangasthalam.' The screenwriter Trivikram also raised expectations by lauding the film. Released on Friday (October 25), did this film meet expectations? Did it bring success to Ananya? Let's see in this review. Plot The story unfolds in Gurramgadda village, located at the borders of Maharashtra and Telangana. The villagers conduct a festival for the village deity Balamma once in every cycle and offer sacrifices. It is believed that during this time, the deity possesses Patel (Ajay), the village head, who then prevents the villagers from progressing, particularly in education. On the other side, Pedda Gangadhari (Yuva Chandra) serves as the keeper of the sacrificial animals and secretly educates his daughter. When Patel finds out, he makes the sacrificial animal disappear. He threatens to sacrifice Gangadhari's daughter if the animal isn't found by the festival. What does Gangadhari do to save his daughter? Is he able to bring back the animal? What role does Bujjamma (Ananya Nagalla) play in this story? Performances Ajay, as Patel, delivers a powerhouse performance, surpassing even his impactful role in 'Vikramarkudu.' Newcomer Yuva Chandra excels as Gangadhari, a man desperate to educate his child and improve his village. Despite being his debut, he perfectly fits into his role. Telugu actress Ananya Nagalla gets a substantial role and shines as Bujjamma. Even in a deglamorized role, she delivers an exceptional performance. Singer Noel also got a significant role and did justice to it. Srikanth Iyengar and Chatrapathi Shekhar lived up to their roles, along with other supporting cast members who performed competently within their limits. Direction Director Sahith Mothkuri captures the essence of a rural 1980s setting right from the beginning, immersing the audience into that era within the first 20 minutes. He vividly portrays how the oppressed and weak were subdued during the Patel era, focusing on the prejudices rooted in caste and pride. The introduction of characters, the love story between the hero and heroine, and other scenes are well-handled in the first half. However, the second half seems a bit faltering. The director appears to rely too heavily on the villain's oppression to drive emotional engagement, resulting in scenes that sometimes lack logical continuity. Nevertheless, the director succeeds in connecting the audience with the film's underlying message. Technically On the technical front, the music and cinematography departments have performed well. The songs and background score positively impact the film. However, editing flaws are noticeable, particularly in the second half where scenes drag. The art department excels, recreating the atmosphere of the 1980s with their workmanship. Plus Points - Story - Lead performances - Music Minus Points - Lack of engaging narrative - Dragging scenes Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 3/5

      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.

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?
      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.

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. How Did They Perform Aravind Swamy perfectly embodies Satyam, taking us along on his journey through his remarkable performance. We feel every emotion that Satyam experiences, from his pain to his discomfort. Karthi charms once again with his innocence, captivating as a typical young man from a village showing boundless love. This role will be remembered as a highlight in Karthi’s career. Devadarshini, playing the wife of Aravind Swamy, delivers a commendable performance.

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.
