Cast: Jagapathi Babu, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Vashistha N. Simha, Divi Vadthya, Kabir Duhan Singh, Sreenath Maganti



Director: Murali Manohar



Music: Krishna Saurabh



Producers: Sampath Nandi, D. Rajendra Reddy



Release Date: 09-08-2024



The film 'Simbaa,' directed by Murali Manohar and featuring Jagapathi Babu and Anasuya Bharadwaj in key roles, falls under the supernatural crime thriller genre. This cinema has been co-produced by prominent directors Sampath Nandi and Dasari Rajendra Reddy and was released to audiences on August 9. Let's evaluate the film's impact and its reception among the viewers in this review.







Plot



In Hyderabad, a key figure from the Partha Group is murdered. During the investigation of this case, another individual from the same group is also killed. The police conclude that a school teacher, Akshika (Anasuya), and an investigative journalist, Fazil (Sreenath Maganti), are involved. They are arrested, but amidst their custody, another murder occurs in full view of everyone. A prominent doctor's involvement complicates the case further. What is the motive behind these murders? Why are individuals associated with Partha (Kabir Singh) being targeted? What is the connection of the Forest Man, Purushottam Reddy (Jagapathi Babu), to these murders? What conflicts exist between him and Partha? The film must be watched to uncover these answers.







Performances



Jagapathi Babu, in the role of Purushottam Reddy, captures the audience with his commanding presence and excels in action sequences. Anasuya delivers a compelling performance as teacher Akshika, embodying her character flawlessly. Divi, Sreenath Maganti, and Vashistha Simha also engage well in their roles, with Vashistha Simha's portrayal as the investigative officer being particularly notable. Senior actors Gautami and Kasturi add charm in secondary roles. Kabir, portraying the antagonist, was adequate. The rest of the cast performed well within their roles.







Direction



Director Murali Manohar has attempted to blend environmental themes into a crime and investigative story. The introduction of Anasuya’s character, the love track between Divi and Sreenath Maganti, and the dual murder events are well-handled in the first half. However, the police investigation scenes feel routine and lack logical progression. In the second half, Jagapathi Babu’s entrance as the Forest Man, emphasizing tree conservation and love for nature, brings thought-provoking scenes. Nonetheless, the lack of impactful dialogue means the director’s message doesn’t resonate strongly with the audience. The concept of 'biological memory' is intriguing in the film. A better presentation of the Forest Man episode could have enhanced the impact. Overall, although the movie's concept is interesting, the director fails to effectively convey it to the audience.







Technically



On the technical front, Krishna Saurabh’s background music is a highlight, elevating several scenes effectively. Krishnaprasad’s cinematography is commendable, and the editing is adequate. The production values are high.







Plus Points



- Performances by Jagapathi Babu and Anasuya



- The environmental message



- The secondary meanings



Minus Points



- Lack of engaging narrative



- Dragged scenes

There is also talk of considering the title 'Simba' for the movie, but details regarding the cast have not been disclosed. However, there is buzz on the internet about the heroine involved in this film.



Star Actress's Daughter as the Heroine!



There is strong buzz online that a star actress's daughter has been set to be the heroine in Mokshagna's film. It is rumored that Raveena Tandon’s daughter, Rasha Thadani, has been chosen as the lead actress. It’s said that she has also auditioned and, following a narration by Prasanth Varma, has given her green light to the project. An official announcement is expected soon. Prasanth Varma is planning to bring this movie to the sets from December. Since both the hero and heroine are newcomers, it will be interesting to see how Prasanth manages them.

Tejaswini, Balakrishna’s daughter, acting as the presenter.

Dubbing Isn’t New to Mahesh... But!



This isn't the first time Mahesh Babu has done dubbing; he has previously lent his voice in the background for two films, Pawan Kalyan's 'Jalsa' and Tarak's 'Baadshah.' However, those were not character-specific but were meant to elevate the role. This is the first time Mahesh is fully dubbing for a character. It will be interesting to see how well Mahesh captivates the audience with his voice.

Among the top Telugu heroes with a massive fan following, Superstar Mahesh Babu stands out. With his next project lined up with the visionary director Rajamouli, expectations for ‘SSMB29’ are already sky-high.

What Did Mahesh Say About Dubbing?



Superstar Mahesh Babu shared his thoughts on dubbing for the main lead in the animated film 'Mufasa: The Lion King.' He said, "I have immense respect for Disney. Mufasa, as both a father guiding his son and a great king of the jungle, captivates everyone. Working with Disney is something very special to me personally. I will enjoy this with my kids. I’m looking forward to watching 'Mufasa: The Lion King' on the big screen with my family and fans on December 20th in Telugu." The film features performances by Aaron Stone, Kelvin Harrison Jr., among others. The movie is set for a worldwide release as a Christmas gift.







Who Dubbed in Hindi?



The Hindi version of 'Mufasa: The Lion King' trailer was recently released. In this version, the young Mufasa’s voice was provided by Bollywood's Badshah Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Abram. Interestingly, the voice for Mufasa (in adulthood) is given by Shah Rukh Khan himself, while the voice for Simba was provided by his elder son Aryan Khan. Shah Rukh recently expressed his joy in working on a movie alongside his children. He mentioned that 'Mufasa' holds a special place in his heart. The movie is set for a grand release not only in Telugu, Hindi, and English but also in Tamil.

Dubbing Isn't New to Mahesh... But!



This isn’t the first time Mahesh Babu has lent his voice for dubbing. In the past, he provided his voice for two films: Pawan Kalyan’s 'Jalsa' and Tarak’s 'Baadshah.' However, in those instances, he didn’t voice a specific character but contributed to elevating certain scenes with his voice. This time, however, it is the first instance where Mahesh has dubbed entirely for a character. It will be interesting to see how much Mahesh can captivate the audience with his voice.

Anasuya Bharadwaj, a prominent TV anchor and actress, is well-known in the entertainment industry. She started her career with the show "Jabardasth" and rose to stardom through her roles in films like 'Rangasthalam' and 'Pushpa'. Recently, Anasuya has been a target for netizens whenever she voices her opinions. Unwilling to retreat, she frequently responds robustly on social media. In her latest fiery post on X (formerly Twitter), she targeted certain hero fans, sparking widespread discussion and turning it into a hot topic.



Anasuya’s Shocking Post



Once again, Anasuya, shining both on the small screen and the silver screen, has become a hot topic on social media. In a recent post on X, she lashed out at some individuals for their incompetence. "How can you be so incompetent? Whatever I say, you turn it into a troll fest. You only talk about that topic. If you have the guts, show it against them, not me. But you won't do that because you can't. All you can do is harass women like your hero, sadly. I pray that you all recover soon," she wrote. The post has caused confusion as it didn’t tag anyone, leaving netizens puzzled over who she was targeting.

Was it Directed at Vijay Deverakonda?



Anasuya, alongside Jagapathi Babu, stars in the film 'Simba', directed by Murali Manohar with a story by Sampath Nandi.

Anasuya clarified that she had no major issues with Vijay and that her comments that day were about stage manners. "I only said we should behave properly when in the limelight. I don’t have any personal issues with anyone," she clarified. Her remarks made hours ago are shocking given the timing of her fiery posts. There is speculation within industry circles that the post might have been directed at Vijay Deverakonda.







Similar Incidents in the Past



This is not the first time Anasuya has made such aggressive posts. In the past, she fiercely responded to netizens who called her "Aunty." When one netizen asked why it angered her, she said that words can have different meanings to different people. On another occasion, she stunned everyone on Instagram with a bold caption alongside her glamorous photos. "I am a woman, unafraid, sexy, invincible, creative, and I can teach you something... I can love you," she wrote. Posts like these have frequently made Anasuya trend on social media recently.
