    Review of "Rules Ranjan": A Mix of Highs and Lows
    Review of "Rules Ranjan": A Mix of Highs and Lows
    Cast and Crew: Starring: Kiran Abbavaram, Neha Shetty, Meher Chahal, and others Direction: Ratinam Krishna Producing Team: Divyana Lavanya & Murali Krishna Vemuri Music Composition: Amrish Cinematography: Dilip Kumar Kiran Abbavaram, although relatively fresh to Tollywood with merely 6 films under his belt, has carved a niche for himself, especially amongst the youth. He’s been labeled a safe bet for producers, assuring them against incurring losses. Kiran, after entertaining his audience with "Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha" and "Meter" this year, now graces the silver screen with "Rules Ranjan". Let’s dive into the review and see how he and the sizable cast fared! Storyline: A Dive into Love and Rules Meet Mano Ranjan (played by Kiran Abbavaram), a software engineer bound by stringent rules in life. An unexpected job transfer hauls him to Mumbai, where he rekindles a friendship with Sana (Neha Shetty), an old friend. Gradually, love blossoms and Mano lets his rules slide, one by one, for Sana. But a twist unfolds as Sana discovers that her marriage has been fixed. What ensues? Does Mano secure his love? Or not? The movie unveils these intriguing aspects. Movie Pulse: A Gentle Flow with Unexpected Turns Despite its uncomplicated plot, the movie ensures a consistent comedy track. The initial half meanders at a slow pace until Vennela Kishore steps in, lacing the narrative with bursts of laughter through impeccable comic timing. While the first half juggles between a love track and comedy, the second half could have benefited from additional comedic elements. A few unnecessary cinematic elevations and certain dreary scenes may dampen the audience’s spirit, although Hyper Aadi, Viva Harsha, and Vennela Kishore’s comedic antics in the latter part infuse some entertainment. Performances: A Canvas of Skills and Entertainment Kiran Abbavaram brings something fresh to the table, shedding his previous monotone acting criticisms and immersing himself into Mano Ranjan’s character convincingly. Neha Shetty, not only adds a dash of glamour to the film but also impresses with her performance, especially shining through the song "Sammohanuda". The comedy ensemble, including Hyper Aadi and Vennela Kishore, brought hearty laughter, serving as assets to the film. The rest of the cast, including Viva Harsha, Makarand Deshpande, and Subbaraju, bring justice to their roles and add depth to the storyline. Directorial Lens: A Scope for Enhancement Ratinam Krishna, despite wielding a simple story, somewhat misses striking a lasting impression. An inkling persists that the vast cast could have been better leveraged and that the story would have benefited from added attention. The initial comedy track left audiences wanting its continuity in the latter half and fewer unneeded cinematic elevations. Technical Side From a technical standpoint, "Rules Ranjan" showcases commendable production values. Amrish’s music compositions weave melodious threads through the film, while Dilip Kumar’s cinematography may need further refinement. Strengths and Weaknesses: Pros: Initial Comedy Track Neha Shetty's Glamour Cons: Unnecessary Elevations Second Half Dynamics Wrap Up: A Glimpse of Laughter Amidst Lows In conclusion, "Rules Ranjan" does spark some chuckles here and there but hovers around being a moderate comedy entertainer. Rating: 2.5/5

    Young beauty Neha Shetty is making waves in Tollywood with a string of films, quickly becoming a sought-after leading lady among young heroes. In the upcoming film 'Gangs of Godavari' with young actor Vishwak Sen as the lead, Neha is the heroine. This movie is set to release as a summer treat on May 17.

Delving into Neha Shetty’s personal background, she was born on December 6, 1999, in Mangaluru, Karnataka. Before entering films, Neha began her career as a model and won the title of Miss Mangaluru in 2014.

He picks diverse stories to captivate the audience. His key role in the movie Kotabommali PS' directed by Teja Marni has been noteworthy. Rahul Vijay and Shivani Rajashekar played significant roles in this film, which is a remake of the Malayalam National Award-winning movie 'Nayattu'. Did this film impress the Telugu audience? Did Srikanth add another hit to his list? Did Shivani Rajashekar achieve her first success? Let's see. Story Three constables (Srikanth, Shivani, Rahul Vijay) working at Kotabommali Police Station get entangled in a case for a crime they didn't commit. They become victims of the heinous actions of senior police officials and political leaders and are forced to go into hiding. The government sends officer Varalaxmi to catch them, leading to a situation where police are chasing their own. Why did this situation arise? What did Srikanth, Vijay, and Shivani do to evade Varalaxmi? Did they get caught in the end? That's the story. Performances Srikanth delivers a splendid performance.

Direction Director Teja Marni deserves praise for choosing the major issue faced by police as the film's theme. He beautifully depicted the troubles of police families and how police are manipulated by politicians. However, the constant chasing scenes throughout the movie can feel a bit boring. The story is good, but the screenplay could have been better handled. Some scenes feel dragged and could have been trimmed for a better impact. Overall, the director's work is commendable. Technically Regarding technical aspects, the music by Ranjin Raj is excellent, especially the song 'Lingidi Lingidi' which received a great response. The background score is also a major plus for the movie. Jagadeesh’s cinematography is captivating. The editor could have been more stringent with the cutting, which would have benefited the film. The production values are also top-notch. Positives StoryActing of the lead charactersMusic Negatives ScreenplayBoring scenes Rating: 3/5

    Chandramukhi 2 Review: Did Kangana Deliver as Chandramukhi?
    Chandramukhi 2 Review: Did Kangana Deliver as Chandramukhi?
    Cast: Raghava Lawrence, Kangana Ranaut, Vadivelu, Radhika Sarath Kumar, Mahima Nambiar, Lakshmi Menon, and more. Cinematography: RD Rajasekhar Music: MM Keeravani Produced by: Lyca Productions, Subaskaran Directed by: P. Vasu Release Date: September 28, 2023 The air is filled with anticipation as "Chandramukhi 2," a horror-comedy directed by P.Vasu, hits the theaters. It follows the 2004 blockbuster "Chandramukhi," and while Superstar Rajinikanth dazzled in the original, Raghava Lawrence takes the lead in this sequel. With Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut playing the titular role, and teasers, trailers, and promotional material generating buzz, let's see if the movie lives up to its expectations. The Plot Ranganayaki's (Radhika Sarath Kumar) sprawling family finds themselves amid unforeseen dilemmas. A sage advises a ritual in their family temple as a solution, leading them, including Madan (Raghava Lawrence), to the vicinity of the infamous Chandramukhi Palace. Basavayya (Vadivelu) now reigns over the estate. As the family sets up in the mansion for the ceremony, a warning against accessing the southern part of the mansion goes unheeded. The film unfolds the eerie consequences and the roles of Kangana Ranaut and Vetayya Raju/Sengotayya (also played by Raghava Lawrence) in this narrative. Impressions The narrative paces leisurely in the first half, with Vadivelu's comedic attempts not landing as expected. The momentum gains near the interval, offering an anticipatable yet engaging twist. The film's second half witnesses fluctuations in its narrative tempo. The romantic subplot feels derivative, but when the backstory of Vetayya Raju kicks in, the pace resumes. Both Raghava Lawrence and Kangana Ranaut's portrayals shine, even if the flashbacks are limited. The climax feels familiar, echoing the original. Performances Raghava Lawrence, no rookie to the horror genre, delivers a stellar performance, especially shining in the period role of Vetaiya Raju/Sengotaiya. Kangana Ranaut, stepping into the shoes of Chandramukhi, is captivating. Yet, her performance seems subdued when compared to Jyothika's portrayal in the original. Other cast members, including Rao Ramesh and Vadivelu, play their parts commendably. Direction Insights Director Vasu seems to have borrowed heavily from the original, with various elements feeling eerily similar. The narrative sometimes comes off as a mere reshuffling of the original script. However, Vasu's signature touch gleams in specific sequences. Technical Take Oscar-winner MM Keeravani's musical score feels underwhelming, barring Kangana's introductory song and a war-sequence background score reminiscent of Baahubali. Lyca Productions doesn't compromise on production values, and RD Rajasekhar's cinematography stands out. Pros Lawrence and Kangana's acting prowess Effective horror sequences Stunning cinematography Cons Lack of freshness Some clichĂŠd sequences Underwhelming music Rating: 2.5/5

    Custody Movie Review: Naga Chaitanya's Action Thriller Underwhelms Despite Some Strong Performances
    Custody Movie Review: Naga Chaitanya's Action Thriller Underwhelms Despite Some Strong Performances
    Cast: Naga Chaitanya, Kriti Shetty, Priyamani, Arvind Swamy, Sarathkumar, Sampath Raj, Vennela Kishore Director: Venkat Prabhu Music: Ilayaraja, Yuvan Shankar Raja Cinematography: S.R Kathir, Sumer Verma Producer: Srinivasa Chitturi Introduction: The plot of "Custody" revolves around Shiva (Naga Chaitanya), a sincere police constable, who dreams of a happy life with his lover, Revathi (Kriti Shetty). One day, while on duty at Sakhineti Palli Police Station, Shiva comes to know that Rajanna (Arvind Swamy) has been arrested and that someone is trying to kill Rajanna. Meanwhile, he also discovers that Revathi is going to get married to another person. Shiva takes Rajanna and Revathi along with him to the court that same night, determined to deliver justice. But, the questions remain - why was Rajanna arrested? Who wants him dead? Will Shiva be able to win Revathi's love amidst all this chaos? These are the key elements of the original storyline of the movie. Story and Performances: The movie starts with an accident and takes about 15 minutes to introduce the characters. The pace of narration before the pre-interval is slow, but it picks up after the interval. The action episode at the interval is a highlight of the movie. However, the second half of the movie suffers from extended and stretched scenes that bore the audience. The love track with Kriti Shetty is also underwhelming. Nevertheless, the action episodes and twists in the story keep the audience engaged. Naga Chaitanya's acting as Shiva is commendable, and he excels in the action scenes. Kriti Shetty shares the screen equally with Naga Chaitanya and delivers a decent performance. Priyamani and Arvind Swamy are noteworthy in their respective roles, and Sarath Kumar, Vennela Kishore, and the rest of the cast do justice to their roles. Technical Aspects: Director Venkat Prabhu's trademark narration is evident in the movie, but the story could have been written more grippingly. The music by Ilayaraja and Yuvan Shankar Raja raises expectations, but the songs are not impressive. The background score, however, is a big asset to the movie and elevates some scenes. The cinematography and editing are good. Conclusion: Custody had a lot of expectations riding on it, given the cast and crew. While the movie has some strong performances and action scenes, the story falls short of expectations. The slow start, stretched scenes, and underwhelming love track make the movie less engaging. Overall, Custody is an average action thriller that fails to live up to the hype. Rating: 2.5/5

    Rama Banam Movie Review: Is Gopichand's latest movie worth the watch?
    Rama Banam Movie Review: Is Gopichand's latest movie worth the watch?
    Cast: Gopichand, Dimple Hayati, Khushbu, Nasser, Vennela Kishore, Ali, Saptagiri, Satya, Getup Srinu Directed by: Srivas Music: Mickey Jay. Mayor Cinematography: Vetri Palani Swamy Producers: T.G Vishwa Prasad, Vivek Kuchibotla Gopichand and Dimple Hayati's latest movie Rama Banam, directed by Srivas, has been highly anticipated due to the success of their previous collaborations. With legendary actors like Jagapathi Babu and Khushboo, as well as talented comedians like Ali and Vennela Kishore in the cast, the movie had a lot of buzz surrounding it. However, does it live up to the hype? Story: The movie revolves around a joint family with strong values and rules, which becomes the target of the corporate mafia. The protagonist, played by Gopichand, takes on powerful enemies to save his family. While the story has potential, the lack of novelty and routine feel of the movie is a downside. Although the first half scenes are decent, the second half slows down, and the movie feels like it has been seen before. Performances Gopichand, as always, delivers an impressive performance, excelling in all aspects of comedy, action, and dance. His action scenes are the highlight of the movie. Dimple Hayati looks stunning and performs her role well. Jagapathi Babu's crucial role is played with excellent performance, while the comedy of Saptagiri, Vennela Kishore, Ali, Getup Srinu, and Satya is good. Technical Aspects Technically, the movie has its ups and downs. Although director Srivasu has taken a good story, the lack of novelty and routine feeling of the movie is a downside. The action and comedy scenes are well executed, and the sentimental scenes are well done. Mickey Jay's BGM elevates the action scenes, while Cinematography is amazing. In conclusion, Rama Banam has its ups and downs. While Gopichand's performance and the action and comedy scenes make it worth watching, the routine story and slow pace in the second half are a downside. Overall, it's an average movie that can be watched for its action and comedy scenes. Rating: 2.75/5

    Heeramandi Telugu Review: ‘Heeramandi’ captures the era beautifully.
    Heeramandi Telugu Review: ‘Heeramandi’ captures the era beautifully.
    Cast: Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, and others Director: Sanjay Leela Bhansali Music: Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Benedict Taylor, Naren Chandavarkar Cinematography: Sudeep Chatterjee, Mahesh Limaye, Hunstang Mahapatra, Ragul Dharuman Editor: Sanjay Leela Bhansali Production Company: Bhansali Productions OTT Platform: Netflix Release Date: May 1, 2024 The series 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar' has been the center of national attention recently. This marks Bollywood director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's first foray into OTT content. Featuring a stellar cast of Bollywood heroines including Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Sheikh, the series premiered on Netflix. Has it lived up to everyone's expectations? Let's discover. What is the story? The series unfolds during British rule in the 1930s-1940s within the Heeramandi district of Lahore, Pakistan. In the movie, Mallikajan (Manisha Koirala) operates a significant brothel and rules over the area. Her former adversary’s daughter, Fareedan (Sonakshi Sinha), attempts to dethrone Mallikajan and seize control of Heeramandi for herself. Several others also vie for Mallikajan's position. Concurrently, the national independence movement against British domination is escalating. One of Mallikajan's daughters, Bibbo Jan (Aditi Rao Hydari), engages in the freedom struggle. The youngest daughter, Alamzeb (Sharmin Segal), romantically involves herself with a Nawab, Tajdar (Taha Shah Badussha), challenging the established norms of Heeramandi. What transpires thereafter? What sort of conflict arises between Mallikajan and Fareedan for the supremacy of Heeramandi? Ultimately, who assumes leadership of Heeramandi? How did they perform? Manisha Koirala delivers one of her career-best performances as Mallikajan, captivating audiences with her grace, authority, and commanding presence. Sonakshi Sinha shines in a challenging role that puts her against Mallikajan. Aditi Rao Hydari is compelling as Bibbo Jan, a young prostitute who contends with the harsh realities of Heeramandi. Sharmin Segal portrays the role of an innocent young woman attempting to escape her destiny. Taha Shah, Jason Shah, Shekhar Suman, Pareed Khan, and Indresh Malik all turn in adequate performances in their respective roles. How is the direction? Star director Sanjay Leela Bhansali once again leaves his mark with this series by masterfully executing the drama and conflict. He vividly depicts the plight of prostitutes and their struggles for power during the British era. Incorporating a patriotic angle significantly enriches the narrative, though some scenes may feel overly extended, occasionally leading to viewer boredom. Technically speaking, From a technical standpoint, the music significantly boosts the series. The background scores by Benedict Taylor and Naren Chandavarkar lift the scenes to new heights. The cinematography is praiseworthy, and the contributions of the art department are especially noteworthy. Additionally, the production values are exceptionally high. Plus Points: - Performances of the lead cast - Story and narrative - Music Minus Points: - Some stretched scenes - Slow narration Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5
