    Shivam Bhaje Movie Review
    Cast: Ashwin Babu, Digangana Suryavanshi, Hyper Aadi, Arbaaz Khan, Murali Sharma, Tanikella Bharani, Brahmaji Director: Abdul Apsar Hussain Music: Vikas Badisa Editor: Chota K. Prasad Producer: Maheshwara Reddy Release Date: August 01, 2024 The latest film starring Ashwin Babu, who is the brother of well-known anchor and director Ohmkar, is titled 'Shivam Bhaje.' Digangana Suryavanshi plays the lead female role. Directed by Abdul Apsar Hussain, the movie also features notable actors such as Hyper Aadi, Arbaaz Khan, Murali Sharma, Tanikella Bharani, and Brahmaji in significant roles. The promotional materials, trailer, and teaser have significantly raised expectations for this film, which was released on August 1. Let's explore how the film fared and whether it succeeded in captivating the audience. Plot Chandu (Ashwin Babu) works as a loan recovery agent. During his job, he falls in love with Shailaja (Digangana Suryavanshi), who works in a chemical lab. Due to an incident, Chandu loses his sight. Following a dramatic event blessed by Lord Shiva, an operation restores his vision. However, after regaining his sight, Chandu begins to see various visuals. Whose eyes did Chandu receive? What are these visuals he sees? Why does a mere recovery agent end up fighting with enemy nations? What deed did Chandu perform with the grace of Lord Shiva? What role does Dogra (a dog) play in the story? To find out, one must watch the movie. Performances Ashwin Babu delivers a remarkable performance in the role of Chandu, showcasing great versatility across two dimensions. Digangana Suryavanshi captivates the audience as Shailaja. The chemistry between Ashwin and Digangana is effectively established. Bollywood actor Arbaaz Khan impresses in his role as a police officer, and comedian Hyper Aadi elicits laughter with his impeccable timing. Seasoned actors Brahmanandam and Murali Sharma mesmerize with their performances, while other actors adequately fulfill their roles. Direction Director Abdul Apsar Hussain commendable intertwines mystery and devotional elements. Some suspense scenes in this crime drama are quite engaging. The storyline woven around international espionage also pleases, though the screenplay falters at times. The narrative could have been presented more effectively on screen. The subplot involving murders seems rather weak. Chandu's character could have been made more powerful. Some scenes lack logical coherence. The slow pace of the story and a lack of engaging elements in the first half are drawbacks. Unrelated scenes test the audience's patience. Technically On the technical front, Dasarathi Shivendra’s cinematography is impressive. He beautifully presents key scenes, especially in the second half. Vikas Badisa’s music is decent. Chota K. Prasad’s editing is also commendable. The production values are high. Plus Points - Ashwin Babu’s acting - Suspense scenes - Climax Minus Points - Slow narration - Lack of engaging elements - Irrelevant scenes Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 2.5/5

This is the first time AI is being used for dubbing in Kollywood. He recalled using AI to modify Amitabh Bachchan's voice in the recently released 'Vettaiyan'. However, now the entire dubbing process will be done using AI, and they are optimistic about this experiment's success. The film 'Kanguva' is slated for release not only in all major Indian languages but also in English, French, and Spanish, with Chinese and Japanese release dates to be announced soon. ₹1000 Crore Goal! Producer KE Gnanavel recently stated that their goal is to achieve ₹1000 crore in collections with a grand release of 'Kanguva'. He mentioned that the stories for Part 2 and Part 3 are already prepared and that if the first part is successful, they plan to proceed with filming the subsequent parts. He expressed confidence that this film will elevate Suriya to a new level and highlighted that the movie will give significant importance to both action and emotions.

    Kali Movie Review: Prince and Naresh Agastya Shine in a Gripping Yet Flawed Drama
    Kali Movie Review: Prince and Naresh Agastya Shine in a Gripping Yet Flawed Drama
    Cast: Prince, Naresh Agastya, Neha Krishnan, C.V.L. Narasimha Rao, Mani Chandana, Kedar Shankar, Madhumani, Gundu Sudarshan, and others Director: Shiva Shesha Music: Jeevan Babu Cinematographer: Ramana Jagarlamudi Editor: Vijay Vardhan Kavuri Producer: T. Leela Goutham Release Date: 04-10-2024 The latest film starring Prince and Naresh Agastya is 'Kali', directed by Shiva Shesha. Neha Krishnan, C.V.L. Narasimha Rao, Mani Chandana, Kedar Shankar, and Madhumani also play significant roles. This film, developed with a unique concept, was released to the audience on October 4. Let's see how the movie is and whether it captivated the Telugu audience in this review. What's the Story? Shivaram (Prince) is a professor at a university who never refuses to help anyone. This quality endears him to Veda (Neha Krishnan), who falls in love with him and confronts her family to marry him. However, Shivaram's goodwill is exploited by his own family members, who conspire to take his property. Betrayed by his brother and uncle, Shivaram becomes deeply disillusioned and attempts suicide, wishing not to be reborn as a human. At this critical moment, Kali Purusha (Naresh Agastya) makes his entry. Just as Shivaram is about to commit suicide, Kali Purusha rings the calling bell and saves him. What changes does Kali bring into Shivaram’s life? What is the connection between Shivaram’s life and the era of Kali? To find out, one must go to the theaters. How Did They Perform? In a refreshing new role as Shivaram, Prince excels with settled acting. Even in scenes without dialogue, his expressions were enough to impress. He made an effort to define himself as an actor by intensifying the scenes. Naresh Agastya shone as Kali, captivating with his stylish performance. The film primarily revolves around these two characters. Neha Krishnan was compelling as Veda within the limits of her role. Other cast members also justified their roles. How's the Direction? Director Shiva Shesha made an attempt to convey that suicide is not a solution to problems and that it is the real problem through this film. Although he chose a message-oriented narrative, he did not neglect commercial elements. He made the story engaging by blending suspense and thriller elements effectively. The movie starts with Shivaram’s background, his family life, love track, and betrayal by family members. The director sped up the story with the arrival of Agastya as Kali. The way Agastya questions Shivaram and tries to show him his mistakes is appealing. The scenes that instill a will to live are spectacular, especially the interactions between Prince and Naresh Agastya. However, the story might feel dragged and centered too much around two characters, and the lack of comedy could be seen as a downside. Technically On the technical front, the music is a major strength. Jeevan Babu's background score notably elevates the scenes. The editing could have been sharper. The cinematography is good, and the visuals are rich. The production values are also high, befitting the film. Plus Points Story Acting by Prince and Agastya Music Minus Points Dragged scenes Editing Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 2.5/5

    "Hide N Seek" Review: A Gripping Crime Thriller with Unexpected Twists and Turns
    "Hide N Seek" Review: A Gripping Crime Thriller with Unexpected Twists and Turns
    Cast: Viswant Duddumpudi, Shilpa Manjunath, Rhea Sachdeva, Tejaswini Naidu, Viva Raghav, Sumanth Varela, and others. Written and Directed by: Basireddy Rana Music by: Lijo K. Jose Editor: Amar Reddy Kudumula Producer: Narendra Buchireddygari Release Date: September 20, 2024 Viswant Duddumpudi, known from movies like 'Kerintha' and 'Manamantha', is now featured in the film 'Hide N Seek'. Produced under the banner of Sahasra Entertainments by Narendra Buchireddygari and directed by Basireddy Rana, this film has raised expectations with its teasers and trailers. Released in theaters this Friday (September 20), let’s see how much it managed to entertain the audience. What is the Story About? The story unfolds in the backdrop of Kurnool. Shiva (Viswant Duddumpudi) is a medical student aspiring to become an army doctor. He is in love with Varsha (Rhea Sachdeva), who studies in the same college. In the meantime, a series of inexplicable murders start shaking up the city. A delivery boy is inexplicably beaten to death with a rod. Similar baseless murders spread fear across the city. To solve these serial murder mysteries, police officer Vaishnavi (Shilpa Manjunath) steps into the scene. However, Shiva discovers clues that even the police can't seem to find, leading them to suspect him as the psycho killer. Who framed Shiva in these murders? Who is behind these serial killings? To uncover these mysteries, one must watch the movie. How Did They Perform? Young actor Viswant Duddumpudi delivers an excellent performance in the role of Shiva, showcasing his emotional depth well. Kannada actress Shilpa Manjunath looks convincing as a sincere police officer, carefully matching her Telugu dialogues. Rhea Sachdeva, playing the heroine, is limited to a few scenes. Actor Saksi Shiv adds great value to his negative character with his deep voice and compelling acting, making a significant impact. Other actors performed adequately within their roles. How is the Direction? Director Basireddy Rana successfully crafts this film as an investigative crime thriller. From the opening scene to the end, he manages to keep the audience glued to their seats. The screenplay is gripping, especially from the first murder to the climax, presenting unforeseeable twists. The way characters are designed and integrated into the story is impressive, with an intriguing link to ancient stories. However, placing this modern warfare in a small city like Kurnool doesn't seem entirely convincing. The film struggles to establish the extent of youth addiction to gaming, and sometimes the portrayal of human emotions falls flat. Overall, the film will appeal to fans of crime investigation movies. Technically Speaking Technically, the cinematography is commendable. Lijo K. Jose’s background music is a significant plus, enhancing the suspense elements effectively. The editing is adequate, and the production values are quite good. Plus Points - Viswant Duddumpudi’s acting - Novelty in the story - Thrilling elements Minus Points - Weak drama - Some unclear scenes Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 2.5/5

    Thiragabadara Saami Movie Review: A Tale of Love and Valor
    Thiragabadara Saami Movie Review: A Tale of Love and Valor
    Cast: Raj Tarun, Malvi Malhotra, Mannara Chopra, Ankita Thakur, Makarand Deshpande, Pragathi, Raja Ravindra, John Vijay, Prithvi, Tagubothu Ramesh, and others Director: A.S. Ravi Kumar Music: JB Cinematography: Jawahar Reddy Producer: Malkapuram Shiva Kumar Release Date: August 2, 2024 Amid controversies, the new youth-centric film "Thiragabadara Saami," starring Raj Tarun and directed by A.S. Ravi Kumar, is released Today. Raj Tarun is joined by Malvi Malhotra and Mannara Chopra, who play the lead roles. Other significant characters are portrayed by Makarand Deshpande, Raja Raveendra, and Pragathi. The film, however, has been embroiled in scandal, with Raj Tarun's ex-girlfriend Lavanya accusing him of infidelity and being romantically involved with Malvi Malhotra. Released on August 2, amidst these controversies, "Thiragabadara Saami" has generated significant interest. How did the film fare, and was it able to engage the audience? Let's explore in this review. Plot Giri (Raj Tarun) is a very timid person who is afraid of everything and generally unresponsive to his surroundings. In contrast, Shailaja (Malvi Malhotra) is bold and aggressive. She doesn't hesitate to fiercely deal with anyone who teases her. A romance develops between these two with very different personalities. But how does Giri cope with controlling Shailaja? What challenges do their love face? Why did the usually calm Giri have to fight back? What did he do to win his love? You'll have to watch the movie to find out. Performances Hero Raj Tarun has fully immersed himself in the role of Giri. Initially portrayed as an innocent, he later transforms into a lover who fights for his beloved against all odds, showing great variation in two dimensions. Particularly in action sequences, Raj excels, showcasing an intensity never seen before in his career. Malvi Malhotra perfectly embodies Shailaja, making a strong impression in her Telugu film debut. The on-screen chemistry between Raj Tarun and Malvi Malhotra works very well. Second heroine Mannara Chopra also delivers an outstanding performance. John Vijay, Raghubabu, Ankita Thakur, Pragathi, and Raja Raveendra do their roles effectively. Direction Director A.S. Ravi Kumar has crafted this film as a love and action entertainer. The first half smoothly progresses with the introduction of the hero and heroine and their love track, entertaining with comedy arising from Shailaja dominating Giri. Their chemistry ensures that the first half never drags. A twist at the interval heightens interest for the second half, which is filled with hero elevations and action sequences, keeping the audience engaged. However, some scenes might feel boring, and certain fight scenes seem over-the-top for Raj Tarun's persona, lacking logical connection. Emotional scenes also did not resonate as well. Those looking for a solid action entertainer will enjoy "Thiragabadara Saami." Technically... On the technical front, the background music provided by JB is a significant asset, elevating the action sequences to another level. However, the songs are not particularly memorable. The cinematography is also commendable, and the editing is adequate. The production values are high. Plus Points - Raj Tarun's acting - Love track - Action sequences Minus Points - Non-effective emotional scenes - Some boring scenes Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

    'Thandel' Creates Buzz: Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi Reunite for a Spectacular Shivaratri Special!
    'Thandel' Creates Buzz: Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi Reunite for a Spectacular Shivaratri Special!
    There is significant buzz in Tollywood about the movie 'Thandel', starring Akkineni Naga Chaitanya as the hero and Sai Pallavi as the heroine. This romantic action drama is shaping up after their blockbuster 'Love Story'. As this is the second film from the Chaitu-Sai Pallavi combo, expectations are high for 'Thandel'. Movie lovers are eagerly awaiting its release, and a thrilling update from 'Thandel' has just been released, delighting cinema fans. Shivaratri Special Song The film 'Thandel', directed by Chandu Mondeti and featuring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, is currently in the shooting phase. A Shivaratri-themed song is being filmed, for which a massive set has been erected. The makers have reportedly spent around 4 crores to make this song a visual treat, involving hundreds of dancers. According to Filmnagar circles, Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya are set to dazzle with dance styles reminiscent of Shiva and Parvati. This is the first time a song of this scale with a Shivaratri theme has been composed in the history of Telugu cinema. Photos from the shooting spot released by the film unit are currently trending online, showcasing Chaitu and Sai Pallavi invoking the essence of Shiva and Parvati. https://twitter.com/ThandelTheMovie/status/1840612058691183016 Here is the story of Thandel 'Thandel', the 23rd film in Naga Chaitanya's career, features music by Devi Sri Prasad. In this movie, Naga Chaitanya appears as a fisherman. A group of fishermen from Srikakulam go to Veeraval in Gujarat for fishing and get caught by the Pakistan Coast Guard. The film unfolds with what happens next. The term 'Thandel' means a boat operator in Gujarati and is commonly used by the people in the villages along the Gujarat-Pakistan border, as revealed by director Chandu Mondeti in an interview. Chaitu’s Hopes Pinned on Thandel Currently, Naga Chaitanya has set all his hopes on his next film 'Thandel'. After 'Love Story', he has not had a proper hit, with his recent films 'Bangarraju', 'Thank You', 'Laal Singh Chaddha', and last year's 'Custody' being failures at the box office. Therefore, Naga Chaitanya is determined to find success with 'Thandel'. He has reportedly put in a lot of effort for his role as a fisherman. The film is being produced by Bunny Vas under the GA2 Pictures banner, presented by Allu Aravind, who also produced Naga Chaitanya's hit film '100% Love' under Geetha Arts. Sai Pallavi’s Projects Currently, Sai Pallavi has some exciting projects in hand. She is acting alongside Tamil star Sivakarthikeyan in the film 'Amaran', which is set to hit theaters on October 31. She is also part of the prestigious Bollywood project 'Ramayana', where she will be seen as Sita. It is reported that she is receiving remuneration of over 15 crores for this role. Additionally, news has surfaced that Sai Pallavi has been chosen as the heroine in an upcoming film by director Sekhar Kammula, featuring hero Nani.

    Vijay's 'The GOAT': A Predictable Action Drama with Strong Performances and High Expectations
    Vijay's 'The GOAT': A Predictable Action Drama with Strong Performances and High Expectations
    Cast: Vijay, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prabhu Deva, Prashant Thyagarajan, Kokila Mohan, Jayaram, Sneha, VTV Ganesh, Aravind Akash, Vaibhav Reddy, and others. Story and Direction: Venkat Prabhu Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja Cinematography: Siddharth Nuni Editing: Venkat Rajan Producers: Kalpathi S. Aghoram, Kalpathi S. Ganesh, Kalpathi S. Suresh Tamil star hero Vijay stars in the latest action thriller 'The GOAT' (The Greatest of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. The film also features Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead, with important roles played by Sneha, Laila, Prashant, and Prabhu Deva. This film is notable for its use of de-aging technology. With rumors circulating that this might be Vijay's last film before entering politics, expectations for the film were quite high. How did the film turn out? How much did it captivate the audience? Did it provide another unforgettable success for Vijay or not? Let’s find out in this review. Plot Gandhi (Vijay), a special anti-terrorism squad officer, conducts various successful missions with his teammates Sunil (Prashant), Ajay (Ajmal), and Kalyan Sundaram (Prabhu Deva). However, he keeps his job a secret from his wife Anu (Sneha). During one mission abroad, his five-year-old son dies. Believing her husband to be responsible, Anu distances herself from Gandhi. Distraught, Gandhi leaves the force. Years later, on a trip to Moscow, he encounters his son Jeevan (Vijay), whom he thought was dead, alive. Overjoyed, he brings him back to India. From then on, Gandhi’s acquaintances start dying one by one. Who is responsible for these deaths? How did his presumed-dead son come back? How does Gandhi stop the killings? These questions form the crux of the story. Performances Vijay delivers a dual role, excelling as Gandhi but the young Vijay’s digitally aged look as Jeevan might feel a bit off, not entirely convincing. Vijay shines again in action sequences and emotional scenes, proving his star quality. Meenakshi Chaudhary as the heroine doesn’t have much of a role, feeling more like a guest appearance. Prashant, Ajmal, and Prabhu Deva as squad members are adequate but not outstanding. Jayaram, as the head of the squad, captivates with his performance. Sneha impresses with her acting as Gandhi’s wife. Tamil youth hero Shiva Karthikeyan makes a mark in a cameo, and Trisha excites in a special song appearance. The rest of the cast performs adequately within their roles. Direction Director Venkat Prabhu’s storyline lacks novelty. The narrative of a hero working in defense and the villain raising his son to turn against him has been seen many times before. However, the scenes detailing the son’s revenge feel engaging. The first half is mostly spent introducing the characters, and the plot progresses as expected until the pre-interval. The interval scene raises curiosity for the second half, which, although predictable, includes some twists that surprise the audience. The comedy and dialogues are deeply rooted in Tamil culture, which might not entirely appeal to the Telugu audience. However, Vijay’s fans will likely find the film quite entertaining. Technically On the technical front, the songs by Yuvan Shankar Raja are forgettable, not leaving a lasting impact. However, the background music enhances the action sequences, elevating them to another level. The graphic department could have done better, especially with Vijay’s de-aging look. Editing is competent. The production values are high, showing no compromise in terms of budget. Plus Points - Vijay’s performance - Action sequences - Climax Minus Points - Predictable plot - Slow first half Telugu.yousay.tv Rating : 2.5/5

    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.

    Nani’s 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Sparks Fan Concerns Ahead of Release
    Nani’s 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Sparks Fan Concerns Ahead of Release
    Whenever one thinks of a self-made hero from this generation, Nani is the first name that comes to mind. Coming into the industry without any background, Nani has carved out a unique fan base for himself. Meanwhile, Nani's latest movie 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' is set to release this Thursday at a pan-India level. The trailer has already been received with great enthusiasm, boosting the confidence of Nani's fans about the film's success. However, new fears have recently emerged among Nani's fans, leading to their anxiety. What is bothering them? What could be the reasons? Let's find out in this story. Runtime Worries! The natural star Nani stars in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' directed by Vivek Athreya and produced by DVV Danayya. Priyanka Mohan is cast opposite Nani in this film. The movie has just completed its censor formalities and received a U/A certificate, with a fixed runtime of 2 hours and 46 minutes. This has led to concerns among Nani's fans. Their previous movie under the Nani-Vivek Athreya combination, 'Ante Sundaraniki,' had a runtime of 3 hours and ended up disappointing the fans. Now, with 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' also approaching with a lengthy runtime, fans fear a repeat of the previous experience. They believe that even if the story is good, a lengthy runtime could lead to viewer fatigue. Villain Takes the Upper Hand! In 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' Tamil actor S.J. Suryah acts as Nani's antagonist, portraying a ruthless police officer. It seems that S.J. Suryah's role might overshadow Nani's, as the hero's role is expected to be quite subdued for the most part. Rumors suggest that the hero will have a significant impact only on Saturdays, with a more relaxed demeanor on other days. Film analysts predict that S.J. Suryah's role will leave a strong impression on the movie. Observing the recent trailer, while Nani's performance was commendable, S.J. Suryah, as the villain, had a more impactful presence. His acting prowess was striking, causing Nani's fans to express their concerns. They fear the situation if S.J. Suryah's performance eclipses their hero's. Revealing the Plot Too Soon! Actor S.J. Suryah is bringing new challenges to the 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' team. During promotional interviews, he has been openly discussing the plot, shocking everyone. He revealed why the hero only becomes active on Saturdays in one interview. At a recent promotional event, he even discussed the film's runtime before the censor was complete. This premature revelation of the movie's key points has led to fan unrest. Fans argue on social media about the loss of intrigue if everything is revealed beforehand. They are using S.J. Suryah's dialogue from the movie 'Maanaadu' – "He comes, he shoots, he repeats" – to ironically describe his current promotional tactics. You'll See the Dance of Shiva in Theaters At the recent pre-release event of 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' Hero Nani made intriguing comments. "You will see Vivek's dance of Shiva in theaters on August 29. Everyone has worked hard for this film. It's a milestone. When I was feeling tense about the film, just listening to Jakes Bejoy's music took all that tension away. Bring extra bags of paper; Jakes has put in a lot of effort. Producer Danayya is a very positive person. He hopes for the best for the film. That's why good stories are always searching for him," said Nani, highlighting the collective effort and the anticipation surrounding the movie.

    From Screen to Stream: 'Kalki 2898 AD' Sets Sights on OTT Debut
    From Screen to Stream: 'Kalki 2898 AD' Sets Sights on OTT Debut
    The film 'Kalki 2898 AD', featuring Rebel Star Prabhas and director Nag Ashwin, has shaken the box office, garnering over ₹1100 crores globally. Since its release on June 27, this mythological science fiction movie has been breaking numerous records at the box office and continues to dominate theaters even after 50 days. Many are eagerly anticipating when 'Kalki' will be available on OTT. A recent update related to its streaming has come out, exciting the fans of Prabhas immensely. Is the OTT Date for Kalki Locked? It appears that Amazon Prime has secured the digital streaming rights for 'Kalki 2898 AD'. There is strong buzz that the film will be brought to streaming on August 23. However, it is rumored that the film will be slightly trimmed compared to the theatrical version, with about 6 minutes of footage potentially being cut. Official announcements regarding the OTT release and the runtime are expected soon. However, Prabhas' fans are expressing dissatisfaction with the decision to trim the runtime, questioning why scenes that were not in the theatrical version aren't being added instead. Prabhas Pushes Shah Rukh Back In 2024, 'Kalki 2898 AD' stood out as the biggest hit among all the releases so far, continuously setting new records and garnering immense popularity. It has reportedly collected over ₹760 crores across all languages nationwide, surpassing the all-time Indian collection record of Shah Rukh Khan's movie 'Jawan', which had collections amounting to ₹760 crores. Prior to 'Kalki', 'Jawan' held the fourth position in the list of highest-grossing Indian films. As per the latest collections, 'Kalki 2898 AD' now ranks as the fourth highest-grossing Indian film, following 'Baahubali 2', 'KGF 2', and 'RRR' in the top three spots. Looks Like No Kalki 2 Anytime Soon! With the blockbuster success of 'Kalki 2898 AD', anticipation is high for a sequel. Producer Ashwani Dutt previously hinted that 'Kalki 2' could be released around June or July next year, with 60% of the shooting already completed. However, recent buzz suggests that the remaining shooting might face delays due to Deepika Padukone, who is currently pregnant and due in September. Post-delivery, she plans to take at least a year's break from films, having already stepped back from a much-loved project by Rohit Shetty and a major Bollywood show. This indicates that Deepika might also be unavailable for 'Kalki 2's' shooting, potentially pushing its release to 2026 if this scenario unfolds. Prabhas in Full Swing! Currently, Prabhas has more pan-India films in his pipeline than any other star in the country. Any project with Prabhas isn't expected to start before 2026. Currently, he is working on 'Raja Saab' under the direction of Maruthi, which is progressing rapidly. He is also set to collaborate with Sandeep Reddy Vanga for a movie titled 'Spirit', and a sequel to 'Salaar' directed by Prashanth Neel is in the works post 'NTR 31'. Prabhas is also set to portray Lord Shiva in 'Kannappa' starring Manchu Vishnu, and has another project lined up with Hanu Raghavapudi. All these projects are likely to take at least two years to complete.
