The Boy Who Wore 'Johnny' Headband for 7 Days Now Directs His Icon Pawan Kalyan: Sujeeth's Story
Young director Sujeeth (HBD Sujeeth) has carved a unique niche for himself in Tollywood. Although he has directed only two films so far, he has garnered a craze that many directors achieve only after many more films. Starting with 'Run Raja Run' as a director, Sujeeth caught everyone's attention at the pan-India level with 'Saaho'. Currently, he is directing 'OG' with Pawan Kalyan, capturing the mega fans' focus. Today, this talented director steps into his 34th year. Let's take a look at some secrets of his career.
Making Short Films at 17
Sujeeth Reddy was born in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, on October 26, 1990. Initially dreaming of becoming a Chartered Accountant, his growing interest in films led him to enroll in the L.V. Prasad Film & TV Academy. He started making short films on YouTube at the age of 17 and has directed over 30 short films to date.
Creativity in Short Films
Typically, YouTube short films are made on a low budget and are not expected to meet high standards. However, Sujeeth's films like 'Run Raja Run', 'Prema Ishq Kaadhal', 'Thokkalo Love Story', 'Vesham', 'Yuddham', 'Prema Care of Drama', and 'Indian Idol' surprised the film industry with their richness and showcased his mesmerizing creativity.

Initial Family Resistance
When Sujeeth expressed his desire to become a director, his family was initially reluctant. However, seeing his dedication to cinema, they eventually supported his decision. His mother even bought him his first camera with her own money, marking the beginning of his journey in the industry.
Guidance from Puri Jagannadh
Upon entering the industry with the aim to direct, Sujeeth initially decided to work as an assistant director under Puri Jagannadh. Meeting him, Puri recognized Sujeeth's abundant directorial skills and encouraged him to pursue directing.
Director at 23
While trying for a directorial break, UV Creations recognized Sujeeth's talent and offered him a chance to direct 'Run Raja Run'. Thus, at just 23, Sujeeth became a director and achieved solid success with his debut film.
Turning a Short Film into a Feature
Interestingly, 'Run Raja Run', which brought him significant recognition, was originally a short film that Sujeeth transformed into his first full-length feature by making a few changes to the story.
Before 'Baahubali'
UV Creations, which produced Prabhas's 'Mirchi', planned a second film with him and accepted a story from Sujeeth, which Prabhas liked. However, 'Baahubali' has not been released yet. After 'Baahubali', Prabhas's fame skyrocketed, leading Sujeeth to make adjustments to the story, and thus 'Saaho' was made on a pan-India scale. Despite not achieving expected success, Sujeeth's work at such a young age surprised everyone.

From Fan to Directing Pawan Kalyan
Sujeeth has been a fervent fan of Power Star Pawan Kalyan, mentioning in interviews that he went to see 'Johnny' with a band around his head and kept it for seven days. He also attended 'Gabbar Singh' release as a rally. Rising from that stage to directing Pawan Kalyan in 'OG' is no small feat.
Love for Japanese Cinema
Director Sujeeth has a special affinity for Japanese cinema, which he openly discussed in interviews. He mentioned that Japanese films also influenced 'OG', the film he is currently directing with Pawan Kalyan.

Devotion
Sujeeth is quite devout, often visiting temples whenever he finds the time.

'Tatva' on ETV Win: Suspense, Thrills, and Unexpected Twists in Ruthvik Yelagari's Latest
Cast: Hima Dasari, Pooja Reddy Bora, Osman Ghani, and others
Director: Ruthvik Yelagari
Music: Sai Teja
Cinematographer: C.H. Sai
Editor: Jai C. Sreekar
Art Director: Aravind Mule
Producer: Manasa Dasari
OTT Platform: ETV Win
Recently, OTT platforms have been home to many unique stories, with ETV Win bringing a different movie every week to entertain its audience. This week, the suspense thriller 'Tatva' was released directly on OTT. Featuring Hima Dasari and Pooja Reddy Bora as leads, directed by Ruthvik Yalagiri, this hour-long film has hit the screens, but did it win over the OTT audience? Let’s find out in this review.
What’s the story?
Arif (Hima Dasari) is a regular taxi driver who suddenly finds himself in need of money. In this quest, businessman Thomas (Osman Ghani) rides in Arif’s taxi. Realizing Thomas has the money he needs, Arif plans to get it by any means necessary. Unexpectedly, Thomas is murdered during their interaction, and Arif gets entangled in the case. Police officer Jyotsna (Pooja Reddy Bora) steps in to investigate. Who killed Thomas? How is Arif involved? What is the relationship between Thomas and Arif? Is Arif innocent? The answers unfold only through watching the movie.
How did they perform?
Although Hima Dasari is the main hero, it’s Osman Ghani who steals the show as Thomas. His portrayal adds depth to the character, making even a smile resonate with underlying intentions. Hima Dasari also captivates as Arif, bringing to life the struggles of a young man. Pooja Reddy landed a significant role, which seems straightforward at first but takes a surprising turn at the climax, pivotal in twisting the story. The film primarily revolves around these three characters, with other actors performing well within their roles.
How’s the direction?
Having worked as an assistant director for movies like 'Run Raja Run' and 'Saaho,' Ruthvik brings a unique style to this thrilling cinema. The film, which explains the fading humanity within individuals, starts grippingly, especially the first 20 minutes. Ruthvik aims to deliver his points without confusion, wrapping up the film in just 58 minutes, a definite plus. However, some scenes stray from logic and feel incomplete, which could have been refined for better impact. Those expecting commercial elements like songs, fights, romance, or love tracks might find it less appealing. Overall, Ruthvik’s directorial effort is commendable.
Technically speaking,
The cinematography is notable, especially considering most of the film takes place at night, delivering good visuals even in low light. The background music also strengthens the film's atmosphere. Editing is decent, and production values are high. Technically, 'Tatva' scores well.
Plus points:
- Characters of Arif and Thomas
- Camera work
- Background music
Minus points:
- Lack of commercial elements
- Some incomplete climax scenes

One Hero Two Heroines: Old Trend in Tollywood is coming Back?
The Telugu film industry consistently leads in setting new trends. A resurgent trend in Tollywood features films with one hero and two heroines. While this concept is not new, as many Telugu films have previously followed this pattern, its popularity waned over time. However, after a significant hiatus, this trend is making a comeback, with several upcoming movies adopting this format. What are these films, and who are the heroines involved? We will delve into these details in this special report.
Gayathri Bharadwaj - Prisha Rajesh Singh
Allu Sirish stars in the upcoming film 'Buddy,' directed by Sham Anton. Scheduled for release on August 2, the film features two heroines: Gayathri Bharadwaj and Prisha Rajesh Singh. Both actresses have caught the audience's attention in the promotional materials for 'Buddy.' The film is produced under the banner of Studio Green Films by KE Gnanavel Raja and Adhana Gnanavel Raja.
Malvika Malhotra - Mannara Chopra
Raj Tarun stars in the latest film 'Thiragabadara Saami,' directed by A.S. Ravi Kumar. In this film, two heroines share the screen: main heroine Malvi Malhotra and Mannara Chopra, who appears in a special song. Meanwhile, Raj Tarun and Malvi Malhotra have been in the news recently. Raj Tarun's girlfriend, Lavanya, has filed a complaint alleging that he deceived her and has been romantically involved with Malvi Malhotra. Amid these controversies, there is heightened interest in 'Thiragabadara Saami.'
Thanvi Akanksha - Seerat Kapoor
The latest film 'Usha Parinayam,' directed by veteran director Vijay Bhaskar and starring his son Sree Kamal, is set to hit theaters on August 2. The film features two heroines: newcomer Thanvi Akanksha and established actress Seerat Kapoor, who will appear in a special song. Thanvi Akanksha makes her film debut, while Seerat Kapoor has been known for her roles in films like 'Run Raja Run,' 'Tiger,' 'Columbus,' 'Okka Kshanam,' and 'Touch Chesi Chudu.'
Meenakshi Chaudhary - Shraddha Srinath
Vishwak Sen stars in 'Mechanic Rocky,' directed by Raviteja Mullapudi and produced by Ram Talluri. The film, set against a love triangle concept, features Meenakshi Chaudhary and Shraddha Srinath as the female leads.

Meenakshi Chaudhary is already well-known from films like 'Ichata Vahanamulu Niluparadu,' 'Khiladi,' 'HIT 2: The Second Case,' and 'Guntur Kaaram.' Shraddha Srinath has also captured the Telugu audience's heart with her performances in 'Jersey' and 'Saindhav.'
Tamannaah - Raashi Khanna
The fourth installment in the 'Aranmanai' series, 'Baak,' was recently released in Telugu, directed by Sundar C. It stars Tamannaah Bhatia and Raashii Khanna, who together featured prominently in a song that became quite popular among fans.

Tamannaah - Keerthy Suresh
Megastar Chiranjeevi's last film, 'Bhola Shankar,' also featured two heroines and was directed by Meher Ramesh. Tamannaah Bhatia and Keerthy Suresh played the lead roles, with Tamannaah as Chiru's love interest and Keerthy Suresh as his sister.

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

Sivakarthikeyan's 'Amaran' Shatters Records: ₹300 Crore Club Entry and Unstoppable Box Office Run!
Kollywood star actor Sivakarthikeyan headlines the film Amaran, which explores various facets of the life of the late Major Mukund. Released grandly in Telugu, Tamil, and other languages on October 31, the movie has achieved super hit status. Even 19 days post-release, it continues to perform exceptionally well, astonishing everyone with record-breaking collections (Amaran Collections) in Telugu and maintaining full occupancy in theaters. As a result, Sivakarthikeyan has reached another milestone in his career.
Into the ₹300 Crore Club...
The film Amaran, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy with Sivakarthikeyan as the hero and Sai Pallavi as the heroine, was released on October 31, coinciding with Diwali. It met and exceeded all expectations, putting on a spectacular performance at the box office. In the first 19 days alone, the film grossed ₹300 crores (Amaran Collections). The makers released a poster declaring it a 'Mega Blockbuster.' It is noteworthy that no other film in Sivakarthikeyan’s career has reached the ₹300 crore mark before Amaran.
https://twitter.com/Dasarathan_1720/status/1858698464630063231
Profits All Around in Telugu...
Telugu audiences have also wholeheartedly embraced Amaran. The movie's Telugu rights were sold for ₹4 crores, with a break-even target of ₹8 crores. However, the film received an unexpectedly positive response in Telugu, garnering gross collections (Amaran Collections) of ₹41 crores to date. This has resulted in a 500% profit margin for the Telugu distributors. Additionally, in Tamil Nadu alone, Amaran has collected ₹143 crores. It also grossed ₹11.50 crores in Kerala, ₹22 crores in Karnataka, ₹4.5 crores in the rest of India, and ₹79 crores overseas, delighting the Amaran team with such a response.
The Unexpected Flop of Kangava...
While the film unit of Amaran expected a hit, they did not anticipate these levels of collections, especially since they thought the Pan-Indian film Kangava starring Suriya, which released on November 14, might affect their long-run collections. However, Kangava received unexpectedly poor reviews, making Amaran the primary choice for moviegoers who, along with their families, preferred watching a good film in theaters. This is why the movie’s momentum at the box office (Amaran Collections) hasn’t slowed down even after three weeks. With no major star films releasing this week, trade circles anticipate that the collections will continue to rise.
Heading to OTT by Month-End...
The film Amaran, which has created a tsunami of collections in theaters, is set to debut on OTT by the end of this month. Reports suggest that it will start streaming on Netflix from November 29. If there’s a need to postpone the release date considering the collections (Amaran Collections), it’s assured to hit OTT by December 5 at the latest. With this, everyone who hasn’t seen Amaran in theaters is eagerly waiting for its OTT release.

Is There a Special Reason?

Netizens are speculating whether there is a particular reason Balayya invited these two young stars to the show. It is anticipated that the questions Balayya poses to them will be quite engaging, with OTT sources claiming they struggled to respond to his witty inquiries.

Jr NTR's 'Devara' Achieves Rare 50-Day Milestone in Theaters Amidst OTT Era
Previously, a movie's success was not just measured by its collections but also by how many days it ran in theaters. In the past, many hit films used to run for 50 days, 100 days, and some even celebrated 200 days functions. During the era of actors like Ramarao and Nageswararao, there were instances where movies were shown for a whole year. However, in the current OTT era, this situation has disappeared. Even films that collect hundreds of crores at the box office are moving to OTT within a month. Therefore, the talk of movies running for 50 days or 100 days is almost non-existent in the industry. However, Tarak's latest film 'Devara' has broken this silence. Let's see how.
Devara... The Half Century
Directed by Koratala Siva and starring Tarak, the Pan-India film 'Devara' was released worldwide on September 27 and has claimed success. The film grossed ₹500 crores at the box office. Recently, Devara achieved a milestone by being shown in 52 centers for 50 days (Devara 50 Days in 52 Centers). The makers released posters detailing this accomplishment, listing the theaters in the Ceded, Uttarandhra, Krishna, Nizam, East, West, Guntur, and Nellore areas that completed 50 days. It's special that 'Devara' managed a half-century in theaters even though it's available on OTT. Tarak's fans are proudly raising their collars seeing this.
https://twitter.com/DevaraMovie/status/1857054185000153358
Trending on OTT as Well
After creating a tsunami of collections at the box office, 'Devara' was recently brought to streaming by Netflix. From November 8, it has been available in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and other South Indian languages. Shortly after its release, 'Devara' trended nationally on Netflix, and it continues to draw significant streaming minutes, a record for a Tarak film. Even a week into its OTT release, 'Devara' remains in the top 10, with many who have seen the movie rewatching it.
Soon on Sets 'NTR 31'
It's known that Tarak (Jr NTR) will be making a film with Kannada star director Prashanth Neel. The movie, tentatively titled NTR 31, is set to be a periodic action drama. The pre-production work is going on vigorously, promising a new level of characterization and performance from Tarak compared to his previous films. Plans are underway to start shooting as soon as pre-production is complete. Currently, Tarak is busy with the film 'War 2', a Bollywood movie starring Hrithik Roshan, in which Tarak will play a role with negative shades.
Tarak's Movie with Rajini's Director?
There's a strong buzz that Tarak will be making a movie with Tamil star director Nelson Dileep Kumar. Discussions related to the story have already taken place, and Tarak has reportedly responded positively to the script. An official announcement about this project is expected soon. Nelson Dileep Kumar recently directed 'Jailer', securing a solid hit with Rajinikanth in a powerful role. Currently busy with 'Jailer 2', Nelson may commence the Tarak project after that.

'Venom 3: The Last Dance' Review - Tom Hardy's Explosive Farewell Packs Stunning Action But Misses Heart
Cast: Tom Hardy, Andy Serkis, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy, Rhys Ifans, Cristo Fernandez, Stephen Graham, and others
Directed by: Kelly Marcel
Cinematography: Fabian Wagner
Editing: Mark Sanger
Music: Dan Deacon
Producers: Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Kelly Marcel, Tom Hardy
Release Date: October 25, 2024
The 'Venom' series holds a special place in Hollywood movies, captivating fans of superhero films. Following two blockbuster hits, the series continues with 'Venom 3,' which hit theaters worldwide on October 25 as 'Venom: The Last Dance.' Like always, Tom Hardy stars as the protagonist under the direction of Kelly Marcel. Did part 3 also please the audience? Did it stand out as a visual wonder with its thrilling action sequences? Let's find out now.
What's the Story?
Picking up where 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' left off, the third part begins. After separating from Venom, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) becomes a most-wanted criminal. Meanwhile, Venom is also being hunted by beings from his own planet. Suddenly, both face a new threat. An element necessary for the release of Nal (Andy Serkis), a super villain imprisoned in another world, is unique with them. This provokes Nal's army to chase them. To escape from Nal's army, either Eddie or Venom must die, or they must forever be on the run. How did Eddie and Venom handle this? How did they confront Nal? That's the story.
How Did They Perform?
Tom Hardy delivers a one-man show in 'Venom 3.' He fits perfectly into Eddie Brock's role once again and manages to generate chemistry with an absent Venom, which is no small feat. Like in previous films, his comedic timing brings laughs, and he dazzles in the action sequences. His dynamic performance in the intense action scenes captivated the audience. Andy Serkis, as Nal, also grabs attention. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy, Rhys Ifans, Cristo Fernandez, and Stephen Graham all do justice to their roles, fulfilling their characters' demands effectively.
https://twitter.com/VenomMovie/status/1834215396595101934
How's the Direction?
Director Kelly Marcel has crafted 'Venom: The Last Dance' with thrilling action sequences similar to the first two parts. Starting with an intense fight action scene, the director maintains this intensity until the end. He impresses the audience with three solid action sequences, especially with the climax that holds viewers captive for 20 minutes. The battle involving Venom, other symbiotes, and the military against a formidable enemy is thrilling. However, the makers have already announced that this movie will be the last in the Venom series. Highlighting Eddie and Venom's bond with an emotional finish would have been ideal. One scene just before the pre-climax does manage to be emotionally engaging. Overall, the movie will definitely entertain action lovers.
https://twitter.com/VenomMovie/status/1846663977784562073
Technically
On the technical front, the VFX team has done a fantastic job, turning the film into a visual wonder. The background music is excellent. The editing is adequate, and the production values are high.
Plus Points
- Tom Hardy's performance
- Action sequences
- VFX work
Minus Points
- Lack of depth in Eddie and Venom's bonding
- Insufficient drama in the storyline

Funny Emotional Scenes which make you laugh.
Tollywood stands out from other film industries due to its distinctive approach. Directors frequently focus on crafting emotional scenes, incorporating deep sentiment and emotive moments to appeal to family audiences. However, these scenes can occasionally miss their mark. When they stray too far from reality, they often become fodder for trolls. There are many examples of this phenomenon in Tollywood, with numerous memes and trolls emerging post-release. Let's explore some of these instances in this special report.
[toc]
Sarrainodu
Directed by Boyapati Srinu and featuring Allu Arjun, 'Sarrainodu' achieved blockbuster status upon its release. Nonetheless, one specific scene attracted widespread mockery. Netizens remarked that this emotional scene inadvertently provoked laughter. In this scene, the heroine, Rakul Preet Singh, is pursued by thugs, and she tearfully exclaims that she has been on the run for four days, prompting the audience to question the plausibility of her claim.
https://youtu.be/BTG1U_-sl-o?si=8SMhJezyIsBEMKG-
Vinaya Vidheya Rama
'Vinaya Vidheya Rama', starring Ram Charan and directed by Boyapati, experienced its share of trolling. A particular scene that shows Charan standing on a train en route to Bihar received extensive criticism. Additionally, an emotional moment during the song "Thandaane Thandaane" also drew mockery. In this scene, during a serious family meal, the hero's brother, Prashanth, is suddenly embraced tightly and cried over by his wife, Sneha, instead of being handed water, leading netizens to question the logic of the situation.
https://youtu.be/GKrpi9NX6LY?si=78kGcH01QiUR6oej
Aravinda Sametha
In 'Aravinda Sametha', directed by Trivikram and starring Jr. NTR with Pooja Hegde as the heroine, Hegde faced extensive trolling on social media post-release. One scene in particular, where the villain kidnaps both Pooja Hegde and her brother, became a target for ridicule. During this scene, Hegde secretly calls NTR, who warns her that the villains might kill her, leading to an overly dramatic crying scene. This scene was heavily mocked online, with many viewers commenting that they found her expressions unintentionally humorous.
https://youtu.be/uOTclNEcCAE?si=VaLMevP8Ir2yaLA1
Mogudu
Directed by Krishna Vamsi and starring Gopichand and Taapsee, 'Mogudu' featured a scene just before the interval that was heavily trolled for its overdramatic nature. In this scene, during an engagement ceremony, the heroine's mother, Roja, slaps a relative of the hero, sparking a major altercation involving Roja, the hero's father Rajendra Prasad, Gopichand, and Taapsee. This confrontation escalates to the point where the couple decides to file for divorce. Many viewers criticized the scene for its theatricality, commenting that it felt more like a comedy than a serious drama.
https://youtu.be/tSph1y0x9BA?si=PQvdooUFVQPxvKpX
Attarintiki Daredi
In 'Attarintiki Daredi', a collaboration between Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram, the climax was designed to evoke strong emotions. In this scene, Pawan Kalyan attempts to express the deep love his family holds for his aunt, who left home when she was young. However, his tearful delivery did not resonate with many viewers. Several audience members found the emotional display humorous rather than touching, and a photo of Pawan Kalyan crying became a viral sensation on social media.
https://youtu.be/HsV7k8m0QU0?si=B2YwpApzSRLAHGDO
Srimanthudu
In 'Srimanthudu,' a hit film featuring Mahesh Babu and directed by Koratala Siva, the protagonist commits to improving his father's village. In one scene, as a villager starts to share their struggles with Mahesh, senior actor Rajendra Prasad cuts him off, commenting that he's only speaking out of hope upon seeing a potential opportunity. This poignant moment not only resonated with audiences but also became popular as a meme on social media, where it remains widely recognized.
https://youtu.be/V_52TOrTqKI?si=xJkICf7HF-JiFikn
Happy
'Happy,' featuring Allu Arjun (Bunny) and Genelia, did not perform well at the box office. In the film's climax, Bunny delivers an emotional declaration of his love for the heroine while locked up in a police station. Moved by their love, a police officer decides to release her. However, Bunny's performance in this scene was widely ridiculed by his critics, who found the overly sentimental moment laughable and expressed online that they found it difficult to watch.
https://youtu.be/H3h5fkT5wG4?si=sufvXBa7KErXPRM7
Mirchi
In 'Mirchi,' featuring Prabhas and directed by Koratala, the hero visits the villain's house intending to instigate change. During this episode, the village elder Nagineedu shows how much he is respected by the villagers. This respect sets the stage for a comedic moment when Nagineedu and Prabhas attempt to re-enroll a girl in school, halting the car in front of her house to call her out. This scene, along with a subsequent discussion with the college principal, became fodder for online trolling, with memers using these moments to entertain netizens.

'Devara' Sets a New Record, Surpassing 'RRR' at the Box Office – Jr NTR’s Reign Continues!
Directed by Koratala Siva and featuring Jr NTR as the hero, the film 'Devara: Part 1' is creating a storm at the box office. Despite being released 18 days ago, the film's momentum hasn't slowed down. It broke even in all areas shortly after release and continues to perform strongly. Even though there was some negative talk on the first day, it did not impact the collections. Having already set several records, the film recently achieved another milestone by surpassing the record set by Rajamouli’s 'RRR'. Moreover, it accomplished a feat that even global star Prabhas hasn’t achieved yet.
A New Chapter in Telugu Cinema!
The film 'Devara', starring Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor, has set another box office record. In 18 days since its release, it has consistently brought in more than a crore each day in AP and Telangana. This film has become the first Telugu film post-COVID to achieve such a feat, a record previously held by 'RRR' for 17 consecutive days of similar earnings. Now, Jr NTR's impact has broken that record. Reports suggest that even Prabhas' recent films (Radhe Shyam, Adipurush, Salaar, Kalki 2898 AD) did not achieve this milestone, highlighting Tarak’s strong pull at the box office.
https://twitter.com/AndhraBoxOffice/status/1846039904913863146
How Much Did Devara Collect?
The film 'Devara' grossed ₹509 crores worldwide in just the first 16 days, as officially announced by the makers. Adding the collections of the last two days, it is expected to reach ₹520 crores. The combined gross for AP and Telangana has been ₹222.60 crores. Karnataka contributed ₹17.70 crores, Tamil Nadu ₹4.13 crores, Kerala ₹97 lakhs, and Hindi + Rest of India ₹33.55 crores. If the trend continues, reaching ₹550 crores seems easily feasible. It remains to be seen how far this film will go in the long run.
Has the Streaming Date Been Set?
Netflix has acquired the digital streaming rights to 'Devara' for a substantial amount. With 18 days past since the film’s theatrical release, everyone is eagerly awaiting its OTT release. The latest buzz suggests that 'Devara' might hit OTT as a Diwali treat. An official announcement is expected soon. If it doesn’t happen by Diwali, the release is likely in the second week of November. Netflix secured the rights for ₹150 crores, with a contract to stream the movie 50 days post-theatrical release.
'NTR 31' Loading!
Following the blockbuster success of 'Devara: Part 1', it is known that Jr NTR will collaborate with Prashanth Neel in the upcoming 'NTR 31'. Initially expected as a sequel, Prashanth Neel has decided to make 'NTR 31' a single part film, surprising everyone. Tarak will reportedly play a farmer from Bangladesh, with the entire story set against a Bangladeshi backdrop. The heroine has also been confirmed for this movie, with Kannada beauty Rukmini Vasanth set to star opposite Jr NTR. She is currently working with Nikhil in 'Appudo Ippudo Eppudo'.

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

Nani’s 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Becomes a Nationwide OTT Sensation, Surpasses ₹100 Crores!
Directed by Vivek Athreya and starring Nani, the film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' has recently made its way to the audience. This action thriller has become a significant hit and added to Nani's list of successful movies. Priyanka Mohan stars opposite Nani, with Sai Kumar, Abhirami, Aditi Balan, and others in pivotal roles. Recently released on OTT, this film continues to create a buzz and is achieving high viewership, making it trend nationally.
Nationwide Trending
The film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' featuring Nani began streaming on Netflix from September 26. Available in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi, the film has met everyone’s expectations and garnered a high number of views. As a result, it started trending as the top one nationally from the second day of its release. To celebrate, Netflix released a special poster, shared by hero Nani through his X account. Both theatres and OTT platforms receiving good reception has made Nani's fans express their joy.
https://twitter.com/NameisNani/status/1840402779652972796
Nani Surpasses Janhvi
'Ulajh' starring Janhvi Kapoor, released on Netflix the day after 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' came out, is also competing for the top spot. This spy thriller was introduced to audiences in August and made its OTT debut on September 27. Currently, it is capturing good viewership, making it in second place nationwide on Netflix. Directed by Sudhanshu Saria, Janhvi appears as IFS officer Suhana Bhatia, with Roshan Mathew in a leading role.
Collections Over 100 Crores
'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' was released in approximately 1000 screens on August 29, with a break-even target of 42 crores. It achieved massive openings everywhere, driven by positive reviews, especially overseas where Nani made a significant impact. By the time it ended its theatrical run, it had grossed over 100.39 crores, marking it as the second film in Nani's career to surpass 100 crores in collections, following last year's 'Dasara', which collected 121 crores.
Highlights of Nani’s Film
Recognized as a classic director through films like 'Mental Madhilo', 'Brochevarevarura', and 'Ante Sundaraniki', Vivek Athreya has introduced a new aspect of his hometown flavor in this film. Diverging from his usual style, he crafted the film with gripping action scenes that have been highly praised. Nani and S.J. Suryah's acting, the action sequences, and Jakes Bejoy's background music were major highlights. Particularly, the Tom and Jerry-like scenes between the hero and the villain delighted the audience. However, the film’s length, lack of twists, missing commercial elements, and predictable story were seen as drawbacks.
Story of 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram'
Surya (Nani), an LIC agent, cannot tolerate injustice happening before his eyes. He chooses Saturdays to display his anger. Meanwhile, the people of Sokulapalem are facing hardships. The police officer Daya (S.J. Suryah) oppresses them using his power. Amidst dramatic events, the hero decides to stand by the people of Sokulapalem. How does Surya confront the brutal police officer? What challenges does he face in the process? What makes Surya erupt specifically on Saturdays? What is the love track with the heroine Priyanka Mohan? And who wins in the showdown between the hero and the villain? That is the story.
