      Bhumika Chawla's Heartbreaking Story: Replaced in 'Jab We Met' After Waiting a Year
      Bhumika Chawla's Heartbreaking Story: Replaced in 'Jab We Met' After Waiting a Year
      Bhumika Chawla was once a star heroine in Tollywood, acting alongside leading heroes like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Junior NTR, Ravi Teja, and Venkatesh. Her films such as 'Okkadu', 'Khushi', and 'Simhadri' were major hits in the industry. However, she recently shared a grievous insult she faced early in her Hindi film career. She revealed that she was abruptly removed from a project that she had high hopes for. Her comments about this incident have gone viral online. Now, let’s look at the details. Waited a Year.. Still Replaced! Bhumika Chawla's transformation into a film heroine began with the 2000 film 'Yuvakudu' starring Sumanth. She then gained recognition in Telugu as a star heroine through films like 'Khushi', 'Vasu', 'Okkadu', 'Missamma', and 'Simhadri'. After 'Simhadri', her first Hindi film 'Tere Naam' also turned out to be a success, leading to continuous offers in Bollywood, including 'Munna Bhai MBBS' and 'Jab We Met'. Bhumika revealed that she was initially selected as the heroine for 'Jab We Met'. She waited almost a year for this movie and did not accept other films to avoid date issues. However, she mentioned that initially, Bobby Deol was considered as the hero for 'Jab We Met', but later they brought in Shahid Kapoor instead. Subsequently, they also replaced her with Kareena Kapoor as the final choice. This deeply upset her, and she remarked that her career could have been different had she done the film. https://twitter.com/theBuzZBasket/status/1846077009803297009 Those Movies Gave Me Joy: Bhumika It appears that Bhumika Chawla also faced injustice with the Hindi film 'Munna Bhai MBBS'. Initially, she was considered for the heroine role opposite Sanjay Dutt. Due to unavoidable reasons, she was replaced by Vidya Balan. This film became a blockbuster hit in Hindi and was remade in Telugu as 'Shankar Dada MBBS' by Megastar, which was also a grand success. Despite losing these two opportunities, Bhumika recalled the success of her Telugu films 'Khushi', 'Okkadu', and 'Simhadri', which recently re-released and achieved good collections, bringing her joy. Was She Replaced Just for a Girlfriend? There are discussions in Bollywood circles suggesting a strong reason behind Bhumika’s removal from 'Jab We Met'. During the time of this movie, there were widespread reports of Shahid Kapoor being in a relationship with Bollywood beauty Kareena Kapoor. In this context, it is alleged that Shahid Kapoor provided his girlfriend with the opportunity by replacing Bhumika. However, Kareena later separated from Shahid and eventually married Saif Ali Khan. Some people believe that the directors and producers might have thought Kareena would be a better fit alongside Shahid Kapoor, which is why they made the switch at the last moment. Despite acting in several Hindi films thereafter, Bhumika did not achieve significant success. 21 Years Later.. Currently, Bhumika has begun her second innings in Telugu cinema, captivating audiences with key supporting roles in films like 'MCA (Middle Class Abbayi)', 'Savyasachi', 'Ruler', 'Paagal', 'Seetimaarr', 'Sita Ramam', and 'Butterfly'. She is also playing a pivotal role in the upcoming film 'Euphoria', directed by Gunasekhar. Notably, this is the first film she is doing with Gunasekhar after the blockbuster 'Okkadu', 21 years ago. She expressed her happiness about working with Gunasekhar again on her Instagram account, writing about the start of a new journey.

      Pushpa 2 vs NBK 109: Allu Arjun and Balakrishna Face-off? Another Big Fight at the Box Office!
      Pushpa 2 vs NBK 109: Allu Arjun and Balakrishna Face-off? Another Big Fight at the Box Office!
      Icon Star Allu Arjun and director Sukumar's much-anticipated movie "Pushpa 2: The Rule" is currently shooting at a brisk pace and is set to hit theaters on December 6. Allu Arjun's fans are eagerly awaiting this date. With no other major releases scheduled for the first week of December, it is expected that "Pushpa 2" will dominate the box office. However, it seems that Nandamuri Balakrishna will provide strong competition to Bunny's film. A box office clash between Balayya and Bunny appears imminent. Pushpa 2 vs NBK 109! Nandamuri Balakrishna is working on an action entertainer with director Bobby. Known by its working title 'NBK 109,' this movie is also progressing rapidly. Initially, the makers planned to release the movie as a Sankranthi treat. However, recent buzz suggests they plan to release it a month earlier, on December 2, and preparations are underway. An official announcement may soon confirm this. If this happens, the box office clash between Allu Arjun and Nandamuri Balakrishna is set to be intriguing. Akhanda Sentiment! Balakrishna is also driven by a sentiment to release his film in the first week of December. His movie "Akhanda," released three years ago on December 2, was a blockbuster. Makers strongly believe that releasing 'NBK 109' on the same date will replicate that success. Meanwhile, Megastar Chiranjeevi's "Vishwambhara" is slated for a grand release on January 10, along with Venkatesh - Anil Ravipudi's film, Ajith's "Good Bad Ugly," and "Shatamanam Bhavati 2," all set for Sankranthi. Hence, 'NBK 109' might have to opt for an earlier release date. Balakrishna’s Golden Jubilee Celebration Nandamuri Balakrishna is celebrating 50 years in the cinema industry. A grand golden jubilee celebration is planned by Tollywood on September 1 in Hyderabad. The event invitations are being distributed jointly by the TFPC, TFCC, and MAA Association to prominent actors. Recently, Stylish Star Allu Arjun received his invitation. Earlier, invitations were also sent to Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Pawan Kalyan, and actors from Tamil and Kannada industries like Vijay Sethupathi, Siva Karthikeyan, and Shiva Rajkumar. Balayya... Unstoppable Nandamuri Balakrishna has been unstoppable in the industry for the past 50 years, acting in 109 films. Interestingly, he has worked with 129 heroines across these films. His movies span various genres, including social, mythological, folklore, biopics, science fiction, and period dramas. Balakrishna has also made a successful foray into politics, winning elections as an MLA three times. For 25 years, he has served as the chairman of the Basavatarakam Cancer Hospital, earning a reputation as a lifesaver for many.

      Did Bunny Deliberately Skip Balakrishna's Event?
      Did Bunny Deliberately Skip Balakrishna's Event?
      Following the success of "Pushpa: The Rise," Allu Arjun's stature has grown immensely. As Pushparaj, he mesmerized fans and garnered a pan-India following. Now, he's gearing up to entertain not just Telugu audiences but also cinema lovers across India with "Pushpa 2: The Rule." As the shooting for "Pushpa 2" nears completion, there's growing curiosity about Bunny’s next project. Currently, everyone is speculating that his next movie could be with Tamil star director Atlee. Bunny Sidelines the Atlee Project! There has been ongoing buzz that Allu Arjun was set to make a film with Kollywood star director Atlee, produced by Sun Pictures and aimed at a pan-India audience. Reports had suggested that the Bunny-Atlee project would commence immediately after the completion of "Pushpa 2." Atlee, having directed a blockbuster like "Jawan" with Bollywood's Shah Rukh Khan, raised expectations for his collaboration with Bunny. However, the latest buzz suggests that this project has been postponed. Rumors are circulating that Allu Arjun changed his mind, leading to the stalling of this film. The true details are expected to be clarified soon. Atlee’s Film with Salman! With the Bunny project becoming uncertain, director Atlee seems to have turned his sights towards Bollywood, where he has reportedly secured another movie. There's strong buzz in B-town that Atlee has fixed a film with Bollywood star hero Salman Khan. Sources say that Salman was extremely impressed with Atlee's story and quickly gave the green light. Atlee, with his experience working with Shah Rukh Khan, didn't take long to finalize this project. Strong buzz also suggests that Universal Star Kamal Haasan will act in this project, which is expected to begin pre-production work within the next four months. https://twitter.com/MovieTamil4/status/1830519679502459146 Bunny Under Trivikram’s Direction! With the Atlee project sidelined, it appears Bunny's next film will be with the wizard of words, Trivikram. The film is expected to be a major pan-India release. Producer Bunny Vasu recently commented that Bunny and Trivikram have spent about a year and a half finalizing the concept for this movie. He hinted that this film would venture into a new genre that Trivikram has not explored before. Information suggests that for the first time, Trivikram will delve into a mythological genre for Bunny. Currently, Trivikram and his team are busy finalizing the script. Bunny Misses Balayya's Function! It’s well known about the ongoing social media war between Mega-Pawan fans and Allu Arjun's fans. Everyone expected that Chiranjeevi and Allu Arjun would appear together on stage during the celebration of Balakrishna’s 50-year cinema career. If both had appeared on the same stage, it might have even cooled down the fan wars. Surprisingly, Bunny did not attend the event held on Sunday (September 1). Despite being very close to Allu Aravind and Balakrishna, and even being seen together during the 'Unstoppable' show on Aha, Bunny’s absence became a topic of discussion. Netizens are speculating whether Bunny intentionally missed the event knowing that the Megastar would be attending.

Amidst this, a high-voltage power update has emerged for Bunny's fans. Let's see what it is. Crazy Update on Pushpa 3 As known, actor Rao Ramesh appeared in a key role in the 'Pushpa' film. He made a significant impact in his brief appearance as MP Bhumireddy. In a recent interview, while discussing his role in 'Pushpa 2', Rao Ramesh also provided a crazy update on 'Pushpa 3'. "They shot just one scene to tell the entire story of 'Pushpa'. The rest of the dates will be used for 'Pushpa 2', sir," he said. "I agreed. I got a good role in Part 2. Now they are talking about Part 3. Maybe my role will continue," Rao Ramesh revealed. This related video is currently going viral. Netizens say that Rao Ramesh has confirmed 'Pushpa 3' will definitely happen.

Currently, another news is making rounds online regarding 'Pushpa 3'. There is a strong buzz in the film circles that the climax of 'Pushpa 2' will contain an update about Part 3. Moreover, it is said that some scenes related to Part 3 will also be shown. However, 'Pushpa 3' might not start immediately as Bunny and Sukumar may take a gap of two to three years. Both Bunny and Sukumar have other commitments; Sukumar has already announced a movie with Ram Charan, and Bunny has projects with directors Trivikram and the Tamil star director Atlee. In this context, it's reported that 'Pushpa 3' might be delayed. Better than the First Part It is known that 'Pushpa 2' is set to face the audience on December 6. Already, glimpses, first and second single lyrical songs related to this movie have been released by the makers. Recently, director Sukumar spoke about 'Pushpa 2', increasing the hype for the film. He clarified that the second part would surpass the first part. He mentioned that many questions left unanswered in the first part would find their resolution in 'Pushpa 2'. Especially the games Pushpa Raj plays with the syndicate, emotional scenes, and the drama between Pushpa Raj and Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat will entertain the audience, he revealed. The 'KGF' Formula! Director Sukumar and hero Allu Arjun are said to be following the 'KGF' formula for 'Pushpa 3'. The film 'KGF', directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Yash, was a pan-India success. Soon after, they launched 'KGF 2'. Following this, Prashanth Neel directed another film, 'Salaar', with Prabhas, and Yash is currently busy with a pan-India project titled 'Toxic'. Observing the latest updates on 'Pushpa 3', it seems Sukumar and Bunny are also following Prashanth Neel and Yash. They plan to finish their current projects first and then proceed with 'Pushpa 3'.

      Netflix Shocker: ‘Thangalaan’ OTT Deal in Trouble After Box Office Struggles!
      Netflix Shocker: ‘Thangalaan’ OTT Deal in Trouble After Box Office Struggles!
      Tamil actor Vikram, who became popular in Telugu for his distinct roles in films like 'Aparichitudu' and 'I', has captivated everyone with his performance as a primitive man in the recently released film 'Thangalaan'. Vikram's transformation for his role in this movie has garnered widespread acclaim. Released on August 15, the film received mixed reviews. However, even before its release, Netflix secured the OTT rights for a hefty price. This has led cine lovers, who have been eagerly anticipating when the movie will arrive on OTT, to receive a shock from the prominent OTT company, Netflix. Let's delve into the details. Netflix Backs Down! The latest film starring Chiyaan Vikram, 'Thangalaan', a periodic action drama, was presented by Pa Ranjith. It was produced by K.E. Gnanavel Raja under the Studio Green Films banner in association with Neelam Productions. Featuring Parvathy Thiruvothu and Malavika Mohanan as the heroines, the movie was released in theaters in Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada languages on August 15 and managed to stir a mixed response. The movie did not achieve the expected success, leading Netflix to reconsider their OTT deal for 'Thangalaan'. Reportedly, Netflix is demanding to lower the previously agreed sum for the OTT rights. Release on Another OTT? According to reports, the producers of 'Thangalaan' are not willing to comply with Netflix's demand to reduce the price for the OTT rights. With the producers rejecting this offer, there is talk in Kollywood circles that Netflix has canceled the OTT deal. As Netflix remains firm, the producers are intensifying efforts to offer 'Thangalaan' to another OTT platform. However, this process may take more time to complete. Until then, it seems unlikely that 'Thangalaan' will appear on any OTT platform soon, leaving cine lovers who are eagerly waiting a bit shocked. Collections Nil! The prominent Tamil producer K.E. Gnanavel Raja produced 'Thangalaan' with a budget of nearly ₹100 crores. Despite only average reviews, it was expected that the film would easily garner over ₹150 crores. However, unexpectedly, the film only grossed ₹105 crores and managed a net collection of just ₹70 crores. Regardless of the film's outcome, Vikram's performance was universally praised. His acting in 'Thangalaan' has been hailed as another milestone in his career, making everyone hopeful to watch the movie on OTT, only to be left disappointed by Netflix. What's the Story? Set in the 1850s during British rule in India, the story unfolds in a village called Veppur. Thangalaan (Vikram) lives there with his family. Under unforeseen circumstances, Thangalaan is forced to join an English lord named Clement in a quest for gold. This journey brings them face-to-face with bizarre experiences. Thangalaan dreams that a sorceress from the serpent tribe, Arati (Malavika Mohanan), is protecting the gold with her supernatural powers. But is she really guarding the gold? What challenges do Thangalaan and his team face because of her? What does Thangalaan learn through this journey? Did they finally discover the gold or not? That forms the crux of the story.

      Mr. Bachchan Vs Double Ismart: Who's the Winner in Day 1 Collections?
      Mr. Bachchan Vs Double Ismart: Who's the Winner in Day 1 Collections?
      On August 15, marking Independence Day, blockbuster films hit the screens. 'Double Ismart' by the Ram-Puri combo and 'Mr. Bachchan' by the Ravi Teja-Harish Shankar team greeted the audiences. Alongside them, Tamil star Vikram's 'Thangalan' and NTR's brother-in-law Narne Nithiin's 'Aay' also made their presence felt in theaters. While the films starring Ravi Teja and Ram received mixed responses, Vikram's and Narne Nithiin's movies garnered positive talk. But which film took the lead in day one collections? Which movie raked in the highest earnings? Let’s find out in this report. Double Ismart's Collections! 'Double Ismart,' directed by Puri Jagannadh and starring Ram Pothineni, garnered a divided response but still managed to pull in impressive numbers. The film reportedly earned Rs. 12.45 crores (GROSS) worldwide on its opening day, as officially announced by the makers. They even released a special poster to mark the occasion. In the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana alone, the film collected over Rs. 8.35 crores, as reported by trade circles, with an additional Rs. 4 crores coming from the rest of India and overseas. With the long weekend, there’s potential for further increase in its collections. Mr. Bachchan’s Scenario! 'Mr. Bachchan,' the third collaboration between Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja and creative director Harish Shankar, carried high expectations until its release on Thursday, August 15, but received mixed reviews. Nevertheless, it managed to gross Rs. 5.3 crores worldwide on its first day, with Rs. 1.8 crores coming from the premiere shows held on August 14, as stated by trade sources. The film faced significant trolling right from the first show, which reportedly affected its collections. However, given the long weekend, recovery isn’t ruled out. Bhagyashri Borse starred alongside Ravi Teja, marking her debut in the Telugu film industry with this movie. Thangalaan Tops! 'Thangalaan,' starring Tamil star hero Vikram, topped the release day earnings among all the films, collecting a massive Rs. 26.44 crores (GROSS) worldwide, as officially declared by the producers. The film has been especially well-received even without a North Indian release yet, drawing universal acclaim. It is set to release in the North on the 30th of this month. 'Thangalaan,' performing well in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, is expected to achieve significant box office numbers by the end of this weekend, with Vikram's performance being widely praised. Aay's Good Collections! 'Aay,' the second film by NTR’s brother-in-law Narne Nithiin following the success of 'Mad,' captivated audiences again with its village backdrop love entertainer. The film brought in positive talk on its first day, with trade circles estimating that it grossed Rs. 2 crores. Made on a budget of Rs. 8 crores, the film’s appealing opening day collections have left the film unit in high spirits, anticipating profits by the end of the weekend.

      Thangalaan Review: Another Milestone in Vikram's Career
      Thangalaan Review: Another Milestone in Vikram's Career
      Cast: Vikram, Malavika Mohanan, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Pasupathy, Daniel Caltagirone, and others. Director: Pa. Ranjith Music: GV Prakash Kumar Editing: Selva R.K. Cinematography: A. Kishore Kumar Producers: K.E. Gnanavel Raja, Pa. Ranjith, Jyoti Desh Pandey Release Date: 15-08-2024 Having portrayed distinctive characters in films like 'Aparichitudu' and 'I', actor Vikram, who is also popular in Telugu cinema, has returned with another exciting movie, 'Thangalaan'. In this film, Vikram appears as a tribal man, and his transformation for the role has significantly heightened expectations among the audience. The trailer and teaser for the movie have doubled these expectations. Released worldwide on August 15, how did 'Thangalaan' fare? Has Vikram mesmerized once again with his performance? What was the cinematic experience like for the audience? Let’s explore in this review. What's the Story? Set during British rule in the 1850s, the story unfolds in a village called Veppur. Thangalaan (Vikram), living with his family, finds himself compelled to join a gold hunt with an Englishman named Clement due to unforeseen circumstances. This journey brings them face to face with bizarre experiences. Thangalaan is haunted by dreams where Aarathi (Malavika Mohanan), a tribal sorceress, uses her supernatural powers to protect the gold. But does she really safeguard the gold? What challenges do Thangalaan and his team face from her? What does Thangalaan learn on this journey? Did he ultimately discover the gold or not? That is the story. How Did They Perform? Vikram, as Thangalaan, was outstanding and made the character unforgettable. His portrayal as a tribal person, with the mannerisms and expressions, captivates everyone. This can be marked as another milestone in Vikram's career. Parvathy Thiruvothu, playing Thangalaan’s wife, was adequate in her role. Malavika Mohanan as Aarathi, the tribal leader, delivered the best performance of her career. Her looks and acting scared the audience and stood next to Vikram in terms of impact. Their action scenes together are particularly thrilling. Other actors performed well within their roles. How's the Direction? The film 'Thangalaan', primarily revolving around a gold hunt, is subtly portrayed by director Pa. Ranjith was a struggle of an oppressed class during the British era, highlighting racial discrimination. The world and characters created by the director transport the audience to a new realm. The people's attire and societal depiction are immersive. The journey of Thangalaan with the British in search of gold, and the challenges they face en route, build suspense. The scenes before the interval raise expectations for the second half, which, however, feels a bit detached as the story progresses. The pre-climax fight between the British, Thangalaan, and the tribal community leads to confusion, blurring the line between Thangalaan's dreams and reality. Yet, the director delivers a satisfying conclusion in the climax by revealing another dimension of Thangalaan's character. Technically Speaking Technically, the film is robust in many aspects. The costumes, makeup, and art departments have outdone themselves for this movie. The music by GV Prakash Kumar also complements the narrative well. The production values are high. Plus Points: - Story and narration - Performances by Vikram and Malavika - Fantasy elements Minus Points: - Pacing in the second half - Slow narration Telugu.YouSay.tv Rating: 3/5

      Purushothamudu Review:  Raj Tarun's Journey from Billionaire to Common Man"
      Purushothamudu Review:  Raj Tarun's Journey from Billionaire to Common Man"
      Cast: Raj Tarun, Hasini, Ramya Krishnan, Prakash Raj, and others. Written and Directed by: Ram Bhimana Music: Gopi Sundar Cinematography: PG Vinda Editing: Marthand K. Venkatesh Producers: Dr. Ramesh Tejavath, Prakash Tejavath Amidst personal and professional struggles, young hero Raj Tarun's latest film 'Purushothamudu' has arrived in theaters. Directed by Ram Bhimana and starring actress Hasini as the female lead, this film tests Raj Tarun's ability to rebound. Let’s see if it has succeeded in giving him a hit in this review. What's the story? Rachit Ram (Raj Tarun) was born a billionaire, the sole heir of Aditya Ram (Murali Sharma), who heads PR Groups. After completing his education abroad, Aditya decides to entrust his son with the CEO responsibilities. However, Rachit's aunt Vasundhara (Ramya Krishnan) objects to this. According to company rules, a candidate for CEO must live incognito as a common man for 100 days. Rachit agrees to this and steps outside his comfort zone. He travels to a remote village in Andhra Pradesh named Rayapulanka. What twists did Rachit’s life take there? What adventures did he undertake to save the village farmers? And what is his love story with Ammu? That forms the rest of the story. Performances Raj Tarun delivers a commendable performance in dual dimensions as Rachit Ram, convincingly playing both a billionaire and an unidentifiable common man. Hasini Sudheer, as the village girl Ammu, shines beautifully on screen, and the love scenes between Raj Tarun and Ammu are pleasing. Praveen provides comic relief in the friend’s role, while other comedians like Satya and Brahmanandam shine throughout the film. Direction We've seen many films where a wealthy young man lives as a common man for various reasons. Director Ram Bhimana has crafted 'Purushothamudu' in a similar vein. The real story begins when the wealthy hero reaches the village of Rayapulanka. The introductions and romantic scenes with the heroine are engaging. The first half is entertaining with village backdrop comedy, and the hero's stance against injustices in the village makes for an appealing interval bang. However, the narrative seems to lose track in the second half, meandering predictably and boringly without any significant twists. The climax, although predictable, is somewhat saved by Prakash Raj's entry and his impactful dialogues. Director Ram Bhimana fails to bring any novelty to the story or narration. Technically Musically, Gopi Sundar’s contributions are just passable, with none of the songs being particularly memorable. The background score is decent. PG Vinda’s cinematography is impressive, capturing the essence of village life beautifully. The editing is adequate, and the production values are suitably high for the film. Plus Points - Raj Tarun’s acting - Some scenes in the first half - Chemistry between the hero and heroine Minus Points - Routine story - Predictable narrative - Lack of twists Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 2.5/5

      Harom Hara OTT: Sudheer Babu's Film Storming on OTT, Ranked Number One Nationally
      Harom Hara OTT: Sudheer Babu's Film Storming on OTT, Ranked Number One Nationally
      Directed by Gyanasagar and starring Sudheer Babu, the latest film 'Harom Hara' is an action thriller. Malavika Sharma features opposite Sudheer Babu, and Sunil plays a pivotal role. Released to audiences on June 14, the film garnered positive feedback in theaters but failed to achieve significant commercial success, earning only moderate box office returns. Recently, it was released on OTT platforms and is now trending nationally at the number one spot. Trending at the Top 'Harom Hara' has recently streamed on three OTT platforms: ETV Win, Aha, and Amazon Prime Video. It is gaining special popularity on these platforms, achieving impressive viewership. Amazon announced that 'Harom Hara' had reached the top position nationally and released a special poster in celebration. The film has outperformed several Bollywood films to secure this top spot. https://twitter.com/telugubit/status/1814512633242132650 The Reasons for Its Popularity! In 'Harom Hara,' Sudheer Babu appears as Subrahmanyam, delivering one of the top mass roles of his career. His character receives significant elevations in the second half, reminiscent of films like 'Pushpa' and 'KGF.' Transforming into a mini gangster in Kuppan and manufacturing guns using his mechanical skills, Subrahmanyam's rise to power captivates the audience. The intense action sequence that opens the second half could be considered the best scene of Sudheer Babu’s career. The climax, where Sudheer Babu single-handedly takes on hundreds of rowdies with powerful weapons, is particularly thrilling. If some dragging scenes had been trimmed and the love track between the hero and heroine better developed, the film might have received even better reception in theaters. Overall, the film team is very pleased with its performance on OTT. Director Deserves Praise! Director Gyanasagar Dwaraka has skillfully navigated a routine story, managing to impress with his storytelling. He introduces the point he wants to convey directly, integrating stunning action sequences into the narrative. The first half primarily focuses on character introductions, leading up to a twist before the interval that pulls the audience into the main story. The story picks up pace from the second half, though it becomes somewhat predictable, which slightly detracts from its impact. Overall, for fans of action movies, 'Harom Hara' offers a substantial treat. The Story In the 1980s, in the border area of Kuppam which connects Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, Thammireddy and his family, including his brother Basava and son Sharath Reddy, ruled the area harshly, creating chaos and injustice. Subrahmanyam (Sudheer Babu) arrives in this tough environment and starts working as a mechanical lab assistant at a local college. However, he quickly runs into trouble with Sharath Reddy, leading to his suspension. With financial pressures mounting, Subrahmanyam uses his mechanical skills to start making guns illegally. Although he initially conflicts with Sharath Reddy, they eventually join forces to continue the gun-making business. Eventually, Subrahmanyam challenges Thammireddy’s authority. What follows? How does Subrahmanyam impact the lives of the people in Kuppam? Why do the locals start to view him as a hero, almost like a god? How does he stand up to Thammireddy? These questions shape the story.
