Redmi Note 14 Pro Series Set to Launch: Specifications, Features, and Expected Price in India


Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has carved a unique niche in Indian cinema. Breaking away from clichéd scenes and formulaic screenplays, he introduced a fresh, innovative filmmaking style. His approach challenged the notion that audiences only appreciate traditional narratives, proving that new ideas are warmly embraced. Sandeep even surprised veteran filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma with his skills, earning high praise. While his on-screen work is widely recognized, his off-screen style also carries a distinct feature that many might overlook unless observed closely. Let’s explore this aspect.



Hero-Specific Makeovers



The sensational director has helmed three films so far, each leaving a significant impact. His debut film Arjun Reddy shook Tollywood and redefined storytelling. Later, he remade it in Hindi as Kabir Singh, achieving massive success. Last year, he delivered a box office tsunami with Animal. Interestingly, during the shoot of his films, Sandeep appears in styles that match his heroes’ looks. For Arjun Reddy, Vijay Deverakonda sported long hair and a thick beard, and Sandeep adopted the same look during the shoot. Similarly, for Animal, Ranbir Kapoor’s long hair and rugged beard were mirrored by Sandeep himself, a style he even carried to promotional events.

The Spirit Look



After Animal, Sandeep Reddy Vanga is gearing up for a big project with Rebel Star Prabhas titled Spirit. The shoot is almost confirmed to begin in December. Recently, Sandeep surprised everyone with a new look, sparking speculation that it might reflect Prabhas’ look in Spirit. Director Prasanth Varma shared pictures with Sandeep on social media, where he appeared clean-shaven with sharp moustaches and a stylish beard. Fans believe Prabhas might adopt a similar makeover for the film. Whether this prediction comes true will be revealed soon.

Three Different Looks for Prabhas



In Spirit, Prabhas is set to portray a powerful police officer. Based on Sandeep’s latest look, fans speculate this might influence Prabhas’ cop avatar. Additionally, there are rumors that Prabhas will showcase two other distinct looks in the film, reminiscent of Ranbir Kapoor’s transformation in Animal. The shoot is expected to officially launch in December, with regular filming starting in January 2025. Reports suggest Sandeep plans to complete the movie within six months. Fans eagerly await the film’s grand launch.







Romancing in Europe



Meanwhile, Pan-India star Prabhas is currently working on The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi, slated for an April 10, 2025 release. Music for the film is being composed by S.S. Thaman, with six songs planned, including two duets shot abroad. These romantic tracks, featuring Prabhas and Malavika Mohanan, will reportedly be filmed in Europe. The team is currently scouting locations for these sequences.






Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Style Evolution: A Sneak Peek into Prabhas’ Look for 'Spirit'!


Cast: Rakesh Varre, Riya Suman, Chatrapathi Shekhar, Subbaraju, Ravi Prakash, Chatrapathi Shekhar, and others



Director: Virinchi Varma



Music: Gopi Sundar



Cinematography: V.S. Gnanashekar



Editor: Ramakrishna Arram



Producer: Muduganti Ravinder Reddy



Release Date: November 7, 2024



The latest political action film starring Rakesh Varre is 'Jithender Reddy,' directed by Virinchi Varma, known for 'Uyyala Jampala.' This movie is based on true events from the 1980s and is inspired by the life of an RSS volunteer. How does the film fare? Does it captivate the Telugu audience? Let's find out.







What's the Story



Set against the backdrop of real events in the unified Karimnagar district of Jagtial in the 1980s, Jithender Reddy (Rakesh Varre) grows up in a family of RSS volunteers. From a young age, Jithender is drawn to RSS ideologies, passionate about serving the country, religion, and people. One day, a young boy, not yet 18, is unjustly killed by Naxalites. This incident incites Jithender, then a college student, against the comrades. He realizes that Naxalites, who claim to bear arms for the people's welfare, have strayed from their path. What kind of struggle does Jithender Reddy wage against the Naxalites? How does ABVB robustly counter the deeply entrenched PDSU in educational institutions? What services does Jithender Reddy provide as a college student leader and a champion against injustices in the region? That's the story.







Performances



Rakesh Varre fits perfectly into the role of Jithender Reddy, captivating as an RSS volunteer. His acting, especially in scenes intended to inspire the public, is commendable. Compared to his previous films, he has shown significant maturity in acting. Overall, it can be said that Rakesh Varre has put in considerable effort for this film. The actor who played the PDSU leader did well. Subbaraju’s performance as an RSS volunteer and Chatrapathi Shekhar’s role as a Naxalite leader are impressive. The rest of the cast performed adequately within their roles.







Direction



So far, Telugu cinema has portrayed Naxalites from a positive angle. However, for the first time, director Virinchi Varma bravely showcases the dark side of Naxalism. He vividly illustrates how Naxalites obstructed governmental progressive works. He also depicts how Naxalites ruthlessly killed volunteers working for the oppressed classes. The hero's reaction to the atrocities committed by the comrades and his ensuing fight against them is intriguingly captured. The director initially focuses on college politics, then touches on mainstream political angles post-interval. He also attempts to define what a true political leader should be through the character of Jithender Reddy. Overall, the director succeeds in clearly and pointedly conveying his message. However, a slow-paced first half, lack of commercial elements, and a predictable storyline can be seen as drawbacks.







Technically..



Technically, the background score is impressive. Although the songs are somewhat burdensome, one song in the climax touches the heart. The cinematography is good, and the editing work is decent. The production values are high and suitable for the storyline.

Jithender Reddy Movie Review: A Bold Take on Naxalism and Patriotism - Does Rakesh Varre Shine?


Telugu actress Ananya Nagalla stars in the latest movie "Pottel," set to release across the two Telugu states on October 25th. Amidst ongoing promotions, Ananya has been quite busy. Recently, after the trailer launch, a press meet was held where Ananya had a bitter experience. A question raised by a journalist about commitments in the industry turned into a hot topic both in Tollywood and on social media. Ananya addressed this issue again and thanked pan-India director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for standing by their team.



Praises for Sandeep by Ananya



The movie "Pottel," which stars Yuvachandra Krishna and Ananya Nagalla and is directed by Sahith Mothkuri, is set to hit the screens in three days. A pre-release event was recently held by the makers, where Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for directing films like "Arjun Reddy," "Kabir Singh," and "Animal," attended as the chief guest. Ananya spoke at the event, expressing gratitude for his presence at the promotions of "Pottel," not once but twice, and praised him for his support in elevating a small film to a bigger stage.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1848603026728358266




After "Rangasthalam," "Pottel" Is It: Sandeep Reddy



Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, as the chief guest, spoke about the film. He mentioned that director Sahith one day told him about the small story he was filming. Upon hearing it, Sandeep felt it wasn't just a small story but a significant one. He had already seen the movie and liked it a lot, saying it was more than he had imagined and that the audience would definitely enjoy it. He praised it as the first full-scale village backdrop film he had seen since "Rangasthalam" and urged everyone to support small films.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1848595831508652364




Decency in Questions: Ananya



At the "Pottel" pre-release event, Ananya Nagalla made some more intriguing comments. She revisited the journalist's question about commitment, mocking its appropriateness. "After going home, I thought about how one could ask such a direct question on a sensitive topic. It made me realize, if one had decency, such questions wouldn't be asked. My dream has always been to earn recognition as an actress, which I have been fighting for at home for five years. After seeing 'Pottel,' everyone at my home will feel proud. The question on commitment spoiled the joy. Now everyone will think I succeeded because I committed, but it’s not true. Just because actresses wear makeup and smile doesn't mean they don't have a heart or a family. Please respect us," Ananya requested.







What Really Happened?



The trailer launch event for the movie "Pottel" recently took place in Hyderabad, with prominent actress Samyuktha Menon releasing the trailer. During the subsequent press meet, a female reporter questioned Ananya Nagalla about the casting couch, asking, "Before giving a movie chance to an actress or artist, do you ask for commitments? Have you ever faced this?" Ananya responded, "How can you be so sure that commitments are asked? There's nothing like that." The reporter continued, "But your industry friends said commitments are part of the signing agreements." Ananya clarified, "That's 100% wrong. I have never faced such a situation. It doesn't exist."




https://twitter.com/tfpcin/status/1847262295266865248




Producer of "Mallesham" Fires at Reporter



Netizens criticized the manner in which the female reporter questioned Ananya Nagalla, and as the video went viral, "Mallesham" producer Venkat Siddareddy also responded. He posted a lengthy post on X, criticizing the reporter's inappropriate question during a movie promotion. He mentioned the precautions taken for Ananya's safety during the shooting of "Mallesham" and condemned the harsh nature of the reporter's question, praising Ananya for her fitting response. Ananya thanked Venkat Siddareddy for his support in this matter.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga Backs Ananya After Reporter's Shocking Question


Cast: Anjan Ramachandra, Shravani Reddy, N.T. Ramaswami, Ganesh D.S., Ravi Kalabrahma, Vani Gouda, and others.



Written and Directed by: Smaran Reddy



Music by: Prince Henry



Cinematography by: Mohan Chari, Askar Ali



Editor: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao



Producer: Hemalatha Reddy



Release Date: October 18, 2024



Anjan Ramachandra and Shravani Reddy lead in Smaran Reddy’s 'Love Reddy', with N.T. Ramaswami, Ganesh D.S., Ravi Kalabrahma, and Vani Gouda in supporting roles. The film, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, garnered high expectations among the audience, especially after the recent trailer spiked interest. Let’s see how it fared with the audience as it released on October 18.







The Story



Narayana Reddy (Anjan Ramachandra), at 30, is still unmarried. Despite numerous matchmaking attempts by his family, he rejects every proposal, claiming none of the girls meet his expectations. One day, he falls in love with Divya (Shravani Reddy) at first sight on a bus. Transforming into 'Love Reddy', he sees her as his world. Divya befriends Narayana but rejects his love proposal. Even though she likes Love Reddy, why did Divya reject him? What twist does Divya's entry bring to Narayana Reddy’s life? Does their love story end happily? The film must be watched to find out.







Performance Analysis



All actors in 'Love Reddy' are relatively new. Anjan Ramachandra impresses as the lovelorn Narayana Reddy, especially given that this is his first film, captivating with his natural acting. Shravani Reddy justifies her role as Divya. N.T. Ramaswami, playing Divya's father, catches everyone’s attention, especially with the twist he introduces in the climax. Jyothi Madan, as the girl who likes the hero, and the actor playing the hero’s brother, among others, performed well within their roles.







Direction Analysis



Director Smaran Reddy has crafted a pure love story revolving around the critical issue of honor and prestige. Though the story is routine, it's presented with a natural flair of Andhra-Karnataka locality. Starting with a matchmaking scene, the director makes the narrative engaging once the protagonist becomes 'Love Reddy'. However, his efforts to express his love come off as somewhat clichéd. The curiosity of whether Divya will reciprocate Love Reddy's feelings keeps the first half engaging. The second half, dealing with the rejection of his love and the reasons behind it, connects well with today's youth. The last 20 minutes are emotionally driven, making the climax particularly impactful. Overall, Smaran Reddy has marked a good score as a director.







Technical Aspects



On the technical front, Prince Henry's music is a major strength to the film, bringing scenes to life with his distinctive background score. The songs are appealing. The cinematography is commendable, richly presenting each frame. The editing is adequate, and the production values are high.

Love Reddy Movie Review: A Heartwarming Tale of Love and Honor


Director Rajamouli, a pride of the nation, has achieved recognition as a filmmaker of extraordinary calibre. He delights audiences at a pan-India level with his films, setting a benchmark for other directors with movies like 'RRR,' bringing prestigious awards like the Oscars to India. Currently, the name resonating at that level is Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Despite having directed only three films, he commands attention that many directors aspire for. Stars are eager to work in his films, much like they are for Rajamouli's projects. Let's delve into why this is the case.



Unique Direction



Sandeep Reddy Vanga made his directorial debut with 'Arjun Reddy,' captivating the youth with his portrayal of the hero. He replicated his success by remaking the film in Hindi as 'Kabir Singh.' Recently, he shook the box office with 'Animal' starring Ranbir Singh. Sandeep's narrative style is considered unique compared to other directors, known for establishing hero characters powerfully. This distinctive direction has made top stars keen to collaborate with him.







Queuing Stars!



After the blockbuster 'Animal,' the buzz is that Sandeep will be teaming up with Prabhas for 'Spirit.' Following this, Allu Arjun is confirmed to be the hero in another upcoming project. Mahesh Babu is also said to have agreed to a movie with Sandeep post his project with Rajamouli. Sandeep has already discussed the story with Mahesh, as per various interviews. Recently, there have been talks with Jr. NTR, and Charan is expected to discuss a potential project soon. Beyond these stars, there's talk of 'Animal-2' in Bollywood, indicating Sandeep's widespread popularity. Despite their busy schedules, stars are ready to allocate dates for a chance to work with Sandeep, who, like Rajamouli, is desired by cinema lovers across India for his pan-Indian success.







Spirit Heroine Fixed



With Prabhas as the hero, massive expectations surround 'Spirit,' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The industry is eagerly awaiting the commencement of filming. Currently busy with pre-production, the director has sparked intense curiosity online. Rumors are that Bollywood's seasoned actress Kareena Kapoor will star opposite Prabhas. Having been a top heroine in Bollywood, Kareena now occasionally appears in films and web series. News of her returning as a lead actress alongside a star hero has generated much interest. Fans are already speculating about the chemistry between Prabhas and Kareena, awaiting an official announcement from the 'Spirit' team.







Prabhas’s Villain Repeats!



Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, recently known for villain roles, played Ravana in 'Adipurush' and opposed Jr. NTR in 'Devara.' His menacing appearance in the recently released 'Devara' trailer captivated audiences. Another buzz about 'Spirit' suggests that Saif will also appear in a negative role here, pitted against Prabhas in a powerful character. An intriguing aspect is that Saif’s wife, Kareena Kapoor, rumored to be the heroine in 'Spirit,' might see the couple portraying hero and villain on screen, which adds an interesting layer to the anticipation for the film. If true, expectations for 'Spirit' are set to climb to new heights.

The expectations for their upcoming film 'Spirit' are already sky-high among the audience. Although there have been many rumors about the film, no official announcement had been made until recently. However, the producer of 'Spirit' has now made several important announcements about the movie in a recent interview.



'Mid-2026 Release'

First a Police Officer.. Then!



There has been ongoing speculation that Prabhas will be seen as a powerful police officer in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film 'Spirit'. However, recent rumors suggest that after several dramatic developments in the story, Prabhas' character will transform into a gangster. It is also said that the film will contain intense wild elements, surpassing the violence and fight sequences of 'Animal'. Expectations for 'Spirit' have thus increased even further.







With a Massive Budget...



'Spirit' is reportedly being produced by T-Series' Bhushan Kumar with a very large budget. There is talk that the movie has been allocated a budget of Rs. 1000 crores. Initially, the film was rumored to have a budget of Rs. 500 crores, which later increased to Rs. 750 crores, and now it reportedly stands at Rs. 1000 crores. If true, this would make 'Spirit' the biggest movie of Prabhas' career in terms of budget, with Rs. 600 crores allocated just for casting costs. Prabhas alone is rumored to be paid Rs. 300 crores, according to film industry sources.

Allu Arjun's Wife Sneha Reddy Throws Epic Sleepover Bash for Kids!


The film 'Guntur Kaaram', featuring the combination of Mahesh Babu and Trivikram, was released this Sankranti but did not achieve the expected level of success. Despite decent box office collections, the film initially received a significant amount of negative feedback. Recently, the producer Nagavamshi spoke about 'Guntur Kaaram', suggesting that promoting it as a mass film was a mistake and that it would have fared better if marketed as a class movie. These remarks have gone viral online, thrusting 'Guntur Kaaram' into trending discussions. Netizens are comparing its treatment to that of previous films like 'Athadu' and 'Khaleja', claiming it was unfairly criticized.



What did Nagavamshi say?



In a recent interview, producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi made some intriguing comments about 'Guntur Kaaram'. When asked if the film was commercially successful, he confirmed that 'Guntur Kaaram' was a commercial hit, except for some losses in the Nizam region. He noted that its release during Sankranti, a time when many people travel to their hometowns, might have affected its revenues. Nagavamshi admitted that the film may not have met audience expectations and that naming it 'Guntur Kaaram' might have been a mistake since a mass title for a family film could be misleading. He also speculated that scheduling the film for a late-night show might have been another error. A video of these comments is currently going viral.

Outrage Over a Flopped Cult Classic!



After recent OTT and TV viewings, everyone is praising 'Guntur Kaaram'. On social media, users are expressing their opinions, noting that they hadn't rewatched another film released during the same Sankranti, unlike 'Guntur Kaaram', which they saw multiple times on both OTT and TV.

Why Only Mahesh-Trivikram Movies?



So far, three films have been made by the Mahesh-Trivikram combo. Earlier releases 'Athadu' and 'Khaleja' received mixed reviews and did not achieve significant commercial success. However, they particularly captivated the television audience, achieving high TRPs during their TV premieres. These films have instilled a sense of injustice among fans. The same is happening with 'Guntur Kaaram'. Surprisingly, films that were not noticed much in theaters are receiving accolades on OTT and TV. The film circles are puzzled about why this pattern is recurrent with Mahesh-Trivikram films.






Guntur Kaaram' Redemption: Mahesh Babu's Film Becomes Cult Hit After OTT Release Despite Initial Criticism


Allu Arjun, one of the Telugu heroes who has gained Pan-India fame, attracted national attention with the success of 'Pushpa'. Despite his stature in the cinema world, Bunny always gives great importance to his family. He makes every small family event memorable. In this sequence, Bunny's wife, Sneha Reddy, stepped into her 40th year. On this occasion, Allu Arjun gave her an amazing gift that surprised her. Videos related to this are trending wildly online.



What's the surprise?



Icon star Allu Arjun celebrated his wife Sneha Reddy's 40th birthday grandly on Sunday (September 29) among family and friends. However, Bunny gave her a mind-blowing surprise gift. Without Sneha knowing, he arranged for her sister and best friends to come to Goa and surprise her. Sneha was shocked to see them suddenly and was overjoyed by Bunny's surprise. The related video is going viral online, with Bunny’s fans commenting on how fantastic the surprise gift was. Posts are being shared wishing that the couple always stays happy like this.

Mega family shocks Sneha!



It is known that there have been rumors of a cold war between the Allu and Mega families for some days. This issue resurfaced during Sneha Reddy’s birthday. The lack of public wishes from the Mega family for Sneha Reddy’s birthday has sparked discussion. On July 20th this year, during Ram Charan’s wife Upasana's birthday, the Mega family extensively shared wishes on social media. Namrata, wife of Mahesh Babu, Lakshmi Pranathi, wife of Jr NTR, and Lavanya Tripathi, wife of Varun Tej, along with several celebrities, extended their birthday wishes. Mega fans also posted wishes for Upasana. However, there was no such fervor from the Mega family or the fans for Sneha Reddy’s birthday, reigniting comments about the discord between the two families.







Final stages of ‘Pushpa 2’ shooting!



Currently, Bunny is busy shooting for 'Pushpa 2'. Director Sukumar is filming the climax scenes of the movie. The shooting has been taking place at Ramoji Film City for the past few days. It is known that scenes involving Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil and Bunny are being shot. Recently, director SS Rajamouli also visited the shooting spot and met with the 'Pushpa 2' team. ‘Pushpa 2’ is set to be released worldwide on December 6. After this movie, there is a strong buzz that Bunny will be doing a film with the word magician Trivikram.






Allu Sneha Reddy HBD: Allu Arjun gives a big surprise to his wife.. Video goes viral


In cinema, both the hero and the heroine are crucial, like the two eyes of a face. Nowadays, heroines seem to have less scope for substantive roles compared to the past, with some directors focusing films predominantly around the hero. Often, heroines appear primarily for songs and to add a visual appeal. Recent movies like 'Liger,' 'Mr. Bachchan,' and 'Double iSmart' have drawn criticism for focusing more on heroines' exposure than their acting skills. However, some young directors in Tollywood are attracting praise for portraying heroines with dignity, following the example set by Sekhar Kammula. Who are these directors? What films have they made? How have they portrayed their heroines? Let’s find out.



Sekhar Kammula



When you think of a sensible director in Tollywood, Sekhar Kammula is one of the first names that come to mind. He is known for creating beautiful love stories and engaging family dramas. The heroines in his films and the way they are portrayed remain memorable to the audience. Kamalinee Mukherjee in 'Anand' and 'Godavari' is a prime example, portrayed as the girl-next-door in a dignified manner. In 'Leader,' Richa Gangopadhyay, and in 'Life is Beautiful,' Shagun Kaur, left lasting impressions. Particularly in films like 'Fidaa' and 'Love Story,' Sai Pallavi's roles won hearts without relying on exposure, affirming Sekhar’s significant contribution to her becoming a star heroine. His understanding of how to extract authentic performances from actresses makes many heroines keen to work with him at least once.







Hanu Raghavapudi



Similar to Sekhar Kammula, director Hanu Raghavapudi takes great care in the portrayal of heroines. His films 'Andala Rakshasi,' 'Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha,' 'Padi Padi Leche Manasu,' and 'Sita Ramam' make it clear that he focuses on the substance of his heroines' roles. Actresses like Lavanya Tripathi, Mehreen, Sai Pallavi, and Mrunal Thakur under his direction have garnered significant acclaim. Mrunal Thakur, in particular, received rave reviews for her role in the beautiful love saga 'Sita Ramam,' achieving star status in Telugu cinema. Her character Sita in the film remains special to her, as stated in various interviews. Hanu has announced a project with Prabhas, introducing a new actress, Iman Ismail, to the Telugu screen, whose appearance has already generated considerable interest.







Vivek Athreya



Young director Vivek Athreya also seems to follow in Sekhar Kammula's footsteps regarding heroine portrayal. His recent film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' with Nani, featuring Tamil actress Priyanka Arul Mohan, showcased her acting without resorting to glamour. His previous works, 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' emphasized dignified portrayals over skin show, with actresses like Nivetha Pethuraj, Nivetha Thomas, and Nazriya Nazim earning recognition for their roles.







Shouryuv



Director Shouryuv made his mark with the film 'Hi Nanna,' capturing hearts and earning praise for his sensitive portrayal. In the film, Nani stars alongside Mrunal Thakur, who was previously known in Bollywood for more glamorous roles. Shouryuv presented her as a quintessential Telugu girl without compromising her dignity throughout the film. Despite opportunities for skin show in songs, he chose not to take that route, maintaining the integrity of Mrunal's character. This approach left film critics impressed and hopeful that he will continue in this manner in his future projects.







Tharun Bhascker



Tharun Bhascker, a young director, has quickly become synonymous with youthful films. He has gained recognition in a short time with content that resonates with the youth, without ever giving in to the temptation to showcase glamour unnecessarily. Starting with his debut film 'Pelli Choopulu,' this aspect becomes clear. Vijay Deverakonda and Ritu Varma's pairing in the film highlighted substantial acting over cheap thrills. This film significantly boosted Ritu Varma's popularity. After turning actor in several films, Tharun Bhascker has returned to directing with 'Keeḍa Cola,' continuing his tradition of dignified cinematic portrayals.






Tollywood's Emerging Directors: Redefining the Role of Heroines


Starring Anjan Ramachandra and Shravani as the leads, the recent movie 'Love Reddy' arrived in theaters last week and received positive feedback. The chemistry between the leads and the climax particularly resonated with the audience. However, despite the positive reviews, the movie has been disappointing in terms of collections. In response, the movie team initiated a unique event titled 'Blockbuster but Failure Meet' to interact with audiences in theaters. During one of these visits, an unexpected incident occurred where a woman attacked a member of the acting team, and the video of this incident has gone viral.



Why Did the Attack Happen?



Despite the positive reception of 'Love Reddy,' the lack of box office collections led the movie team to undertake a unique initiative. They started visiting cinemas where the movie was playing to gather feedback directly from the audience. Recently, while the team was at GPR Mall in Nizampet, Hyderabad, an incident occurred. During the climax scene, where the heroine’s father (N.T. Ramaswamy) hits his daughter with a stone for not accepting the hero, a woman in the audience, overcome with emotion from the scene, attacks the actor playing the father role. This sudden outburst shocked everyone present. Efforts were made to calm the woman down, explaining that it was just a movie.

How is 'Love Reddy'?



Directed by Smaran Reddy, 'Love Reddy' is a clean love story revolving around the theme of honor and dignity. Although it follows a routine storyline, it is presented naturally with an Andhra-Karnataka backdrop. The film starts with a matrimonial viewing scene and becomes more interesting as the hero transforms into 'Love Reddy.' However, his efforts to express his love seem quite routine. The curiosity of whether Divya will reciprocate Love Reddy’s feelings carries the first half. In the second half, the rejection of his love and the reasons stated connect well with today’s youth. The last 20 minutes are handled very emotionally by the director, culminating in a climax that weighs on the viewer's heart. Overall, Director Smaran Reddy has made a significant mark with this film.







The Storyline



Narayana Reddy (Anjan Ramachandra) is 30 and still unmarried. Despite numerous matches seen by his family, he rejects each one, claiming they do not appeal to him. One day on a bus, he sees Divya (Shravani Reddy) and falls in love at first sight, transforming her into his entire world. Divya befriends Narayana Reddy, but when he eventually gathers the courage to confess his love, she rejects his proposal. Why did Divya reject Love Reddy despite her feelings for him? How did Divya’s entry turn Narayana Reddy's life around? Does their love story have a happy ending? To find out, one must watch the movie.

Viral Video:  Woman Hits Actor at 'Love Reddy's' Blockbuster but Failure Meet!


Telugu cinema's young heroes are being particularly careful with their choice of scripts, showing interest only if the story offers something new. Otherwise, they unhesitatingly reject routine stories, setting an example that even veterans like Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, Ravi Teja, Ram Pothineni, Nithiin, and Gopichand could take note of. Young actor Suhas is soon to appear in a unique story titled 'Gorre Puranam'. This backdrop has reignited discussions about the innovative subjects young heroes are choosing. Who are these young heroes bringing new stories to life? What movies have they done? Let's delve into this special report.



Suhas



Starting with minor roles in the industry, Suhas became famous almost overnight with the movie 'Colour Photo'. Building on the fame from his short films, he seized opportunities in cinema. He earned good recognition from the audience by acting in diverse films like 'Writer Padmabhushan', 'Ambajipeta Marriage Band', 'Sriranga Neethulu', and 'Prasanna Vadanam'. Moreover, he made an impact as a villain in the movie 'HIT 2'. Recently, he's gearing up to present another novel subject with 'Gorrepuranam', releasing this Friday (September 20).







Teja Sajja



Starting as a child actor, Teja Sajja transitioned to a lead role with 'Zombie Reddy'. Despite his first film establishing him as hero material, subsequent diverse films like 'Ishq' and 'Adbhutham' did not earn much fame. However, he achieved a solid hit nationally with 'Hanuman', directed by Prasanth Varma. This success resonated well, enhancing Teja Sajja's reputation. Currently, he's involved in another pan-India film titled 'Miraya', where Manchu Manoj plays the villain. The already released teaser of 'Miraya' has raised expectations.







Nikhil Siddhartha



Nikhil Siddhartha grabbed everyone’s attention with 'Happy Days'. Post that film, he continued to captivate the youth with solo hero films. His journey includes significant roles in films like 'Swamy Ra Ra', 'Karthikeya', 'Surya vs Surya', 'Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada', and 'Karthikeya 2', establishing him as a reliable hero. Currently, he's part of the historical film 'Swayambhu', produced by Ram Charan, and also 'Karthikeya 3' is in his lineup.







Vishwak Sen



Vishwak Sen, known among the youth as a mass hero, has been careful to ensure diversity in his films from the start. His initial movie 'Vellipomakey' didn't make a big splash, but 'Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi' brought him significant youth following. Following that, 'Falaknuma Das', a mass action drama, secured another success. His roles in 'HIT', 'Paagal', 'Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam', 'Ori Devuda', 'Das Ka Dhamki', 'Gaami', and 'Gangs of Godavari' further cemented his status as a star in Telugu cinema. Currently, he's involved in 'Mechanic Rocky' and 'Laila', where his appearance in a lady getup in 'Laila' is noteworthy.







Adivi Sesh



Adivi Sesh initially appeared in a minor role in the movie 'Sontham' led by Aryan Rajesh. His breakout role as a hero was in 'Karma'. He gained recognition as a villain in Pawan Kalyan’s 'Panjaa'. With important roles in 'Run Raja Run', 'Baahubali', and a series of diverse films like 'Kshanam', 'Goodachari', 'Evaru', 'Major', and 'HIT 2', Adivi Sesh transformed into a reputable hero. Especially with 'Major', his market reach significantly expanded. He's currently working on the sequel to 'Goodachari', expected to be a pan-India release, poised to further boost his career if successful.







Siddhu Jonnalagadda



Starting with a role in Naga Chaitanya’s debut 'Josh', Siddhu Jonnalagadda didn't see much career growth despite diverse roles in movies like 'Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu', 'Orange', and 'Guntur Talkies'. However, he struck blockbuster success with 'DJ Tillu', and its sequel continued this trend. The sequel, 'Tillu Square', notably grossed ₹135 crore. He is currently acting in 'Jack' and 'Telusu Kada', with 'Tillu Cube' also in the pipeline.







Narne Nithiin



Junior NTR’s brother-in-law, Narne Nithiin made his debut with the youthful entertainer 'MAD', which was a success at the box office and connected well with the youth due to its college backdrop. His subsequent film 'Aay', set in a village backdrop, showcased his diversity and was also successful. After a subdued presence in 'MAD', Nithiin’s performance in 'Aay' was much improved, excelling in acting, dance, and comedy, and effectively conveying emotions.






Diverse and Bold: Young Telugu Heroes Redefining Cinema with Unique Script Choices


There's just a week left until the release of Tarak's latest film 'Devara', and it’s the talk of the town. Matching the buzz, the movie team is also intensively promoting it, creating substantial hype. Reports suggest that 'Devara' has achieved record-breaking pre-release business, marking unprecedented theatrical business in NTR's career. How much is 'Devara's pre-release business? What is the break-even target? What are the top-10 Telugu films that have done the highest pre-release business so far? Let’s find out about this special feature.



[toc]



How much is Devara's pre-release business?



Directed by Koratala Siva and starring NTR, 'Devara' reportedly saw massive pre-release business. The theatrical rights alone are said to have been sold for Rs. 185 crores. In the two Telugu states, the rights went for Rs. 115 crores. It's reported that 'Devara' fetched Rs. 45 crores in the Nizam area alone. In Ceded, the business is said to be around Rs. 22 crores. Karnataka witnessed a business of Rs. 15 crores, Tamil Nadu Rs. 6 crores, and Kerala Rs. 50 lakhs. In the US, it’s Rs. 26 crores and in the Hindi belt, Rs. 15 crores, totaling Rs. 185 crores in all areas combined. To break even, 'Devara' needs to recover Rs. 200 crores.







Star Directors as Chief Guests!



Grand arrangements are being made for the pre-release event of 'Devara', scheduled for the 22nd of this month in Hyderabad. According to the latest buzz, three star directors are expected to attend the event. Directors Rajamouli, Prashanth Neel, and Trivikram are said to be participating. There’s also a chance that superstar Mahesh Babu will attend. However, clarity on this is awaited. Amidst criticisms that the team focused more on promotions in the north, inviting these star directors and Mahesh as a guest seems to be a strategy to counteract these criticisms.







Top Movies in Pre-release Business



Previously, only Bollywood and Hollywood films were thought capable of huge pre-release business, but director Rajamouli changed that perception entirely for Tollywood. Telugu films have now demonstrated their capability by conducting pre-release business north of Rs. 350 crores. Let’s look at the top-10 Telugu films with the highest pre-release business:







RRR 



Directed by SS Rajamouli and starring NTR and Ram Charan, this movie topped the charts with the highest pre-release business among Telugu films.

Following the success of KGF, director Prashanth Neel and star Prabhas brought 'Salaar' to the screen. This film achieved global pre-release business of Rs. 345 crores, with Rs. 120 crores from the Telugu states.







Saaho&nbsp;



Post-Baahubali, Prabhas starred in 'Saaho', directed by Sujeeth, which made waves with its pre-release business of Rs. 280 crores. It notably made Rs. 120 crores in North India alone.







Adipurush&nbsp;



Directed by Om Raut and featuring Prabhas, this mythological film based on the Ramayana, with Kriti Sanon as Sita, drew significant expectations and did pre-release business over Rs. 240 crores.







Radhe Shyam



Directed by Radha Krishna Kumar and starring Prabhas and Pooja Hegde, 'Radhe Shyam' showcased Prabhas in a completely different look and managed a worldwide pre-release business of Rs. 202.80 crores, with Rs. 107 crores from the Telugu states alone.







Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy&nbsp;



Starring Chiranjeevi, this film achieved pre-release business of Rs. 187.25 crores, marking it as the highest in Chiranjeevi’s career. Notably, it broke even just in the Telugu states.







Devara



This Koratala Siva and Junior NTR collaboration did pre-release business of Rs. 185 crores, securing its place in the top-9. This is noted as the highest in NTR's solo career.







Pushpa



Directed by creative director Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, 'Pushpa: The Rise' impressed with its collection storm. It did business of Rs. 160 crores, combining theatrical rights in five languages, satellite, dubbing, and digital rights, demonstrating Allu Arjun's box office stamina.






Tollywood Top 10 Telugu Pre-release Business Movies: 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy' Unbeaten by 'Devara'


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

Pottel Movie Review: 'Rangasthalam' Level Telugu Film? Sandeep Reddy Vanga's BOLD Comparison, Ananya's De-glam Avatar Shocks, But Second Half DISAPPOINTS!


With the film "Animal," director Sandeep Reddy Vanga became a nationwide sensation. His unique directing skills mesmerized everyone. Although the Telugu audience was familiar with his work from "Arjun Reddy," it was "Animal" that made it clear to the entire country. It is known that his next project involves Prabhas. Sandeep is currently very busy with the pre-production activities of this movie. Amidst this, his meeting with Tollywood star hero Tarak has become a topic of interest online. There is a lot of buzz on social media about Tarak being involved with the "Spirit" movie. Amidst this, a crazy buzz is shaking Tollywood.



Tarak as the Villain in 'Spirit'?



The news that Tarak might appear as the antagonist in "Spirit," directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Prabhas, is creating a stir online. This rumor surfaced after Sandeep recently met with Tarak. There is talk online about Sandeep asking Tarak to play the villain. Tarak has already proven his potential as a villain in "Jai Lava Kusa," where he played a character with negative shades. If Tarak agrees to play the villain in the globally anticipated movie "Spirit," expectations will definitely rise, according to online discussions.







Where Did They Meet?



There are various speculations about Sandeep Reddy Vanga meeting Junior NTR. Setting aside whether Tarak will act in "Spirit" or not, it seems there was a reason for their recent meeting. According to sources, they met on September 9 as part of the promotions for "Devara." Currently, Tarak is in Mumbai for the promotions of "Devara." Tomorrow (September 10), the trailer launch event for "Devara" will take place there. It is known that Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is highly popular in Bollywood, met with Tarak. A photo of them laughing and talking has surfaced in this context.







Special Interview with Tarak!



As part of the promotions for "Devara," a crazy interview also took place between Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Junior NTR in Bollywood. Sandeep Reddy Vanga posed several questions related to the "Devara" movie, and Tarak reportedly gave fantastic responses. Fans of both Tarak and Sandeep, along with movie lovers, are eagerly waiting to see how this interview turned out. The interview is set to be broadcast in the next two or three days.







Trailer Runtime Fixed!



The runtime for the trailer of "Devara," set to release tomorrow, has been fixed.

Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Bobby Deol are set to appear in villainous roles. Young music sensation Anirudh is providing the music for the film.






Spirit Movie: Prabhas will fight Junior NTR? Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Master Plan!


Prominent actor and producer Bandla Ganesh, known for his frequent headline-making comments, has again sparked attention. Via news channels and social media, he often vocally supports various political parties and figures, becoming a hot topic. Recently, he posted a sensational message on social media. On Friday (November 9), against the backdrop of Telangana CM Revanth Reddy's birthday, he targeted Tollywood celebrities, criticizing them for only wanting a CM who will increase cinema ticket prices. This has now become a hotly debated issue in the industry.



Bandla Ganesh Fires at Tollywood!



Telangana CM Revanth Reddy celebrated his grand birthday on November 8. Many, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, AP CM Chandrababu, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, several union and state ministers, and Congress leaders, extended their greetings on social media. However, except for a few, there wasn't much response from the Telugu industry. In this context, Bandla Ganesh, who took to X to extend birthday wishes to Revanth Reddy, made sharp comments about the film industry. He thanked all the celebrities who wished the honorable Chief Minister and sarcastically greeted those who didn't find the time to do so. He remarked that they only need a CM for hiking ticket prices, which quickly went viral.

Jabs at Tarak and Prabhas?



There seems to be a growing gap between the Telangana Congress government and the Telugu film industry. Bandla Ganesh's mention of ticket price hikes has sparked discussions, specifically targeting star heroes Prabhas and Jr. NTR. Recently, the films 'Kalki 2898 AD' starring Prabhas and 'Devara' featuring Tarak reportedly requested the Telangana government to allow ticket price increases, to which the Congress government responded favorably. However, neither Tarak nor Prabhas posted birthday wishes for Revanth Reddy on Friday, leading to speculation that Ganesh's comments were directed at them.







These Stars Wished!



On the occasion of Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's birthday, leading actor Chiranjeevi conveyed his wishes, hoping for a wonderful year and good health in public service, posted on X. Deputy CM of AP, Pawan Kalyan also wished Reddy, praying for his health and the strength to lead the state towards greater prosperity. Mega Powerstar Ramcharan and superstar Mahesh Babu also extended their greetings, appreciating Reddy's leadership.

Controversy Over Nandi Awards!



Earlier this year, at the Gaddar Jayanti celebrations attended by CM Revanth Reddy, it was announced that the Nandi Awards would be replaced with Gaddar Awards. Six months after this announcement, there has been no progress from the industry. In a public address, CM Revanth Reddy openly expressed his impatience with the silence from the film bigwigs. Meanwhile, comments by Congress minister Konda Surekha about demolishing actor Nagarjuna’s N Convention, and her remarks about his family, have stirred the industry. Following these series of events, there are allegations that the industry bigwigs are maintaining a cautious distance from the Congress government.
