Akhanda 2: Balayya - Boyapati's Mass Tandav Begins.


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

Weekend OTT Suggestions October 12: Make your Dussehra weekend more entertaining with these films!


Prominent comedian Satya is currently the talk of Tollywood. His recent performance in 'Mathu Vadalara 2' has been widely praised for being hilariously entertaining. There's a buzz suggesting that Satya is set to become a star comedian in Telugu cinema. Online posts are even predicting he might be the next Brahmanandam among this generation of comedians. Critics acknowledge the fruit of over a decade and a half of Satya's hard work, as he now seems poised to push other comedians to the side in the industry.



Satya's One-Man Show!



Audiences who watched the Friday release of 'Mathu Vadalara 2' are all praises for comedian Satya. Although the film features many artists, including the lead actor Sri Simha, everyone seems to be talking about Satya. Even if the script is considered weaker compared to 'Mattu Vadalara', and other attractions in the film did not stand out as much, Satya’s comedy alone worked wonderfully. From the first scene to the last, Satya made everyone laugh. Particularly, his dance in the song '16 Year Age' has received a tremendous response. Despite several downsides in the film, viewers feel that Satya’s comedy overshadowed them all. If he continues to deliver such performances, his place as a star comedian is assured.







15 Years of Struggle..



Though Satya has been in the industry for nearly a decade and a half, it took him many years to get a significant break. Following Sunil, Satya brings a similar style of comedy that instinctively makes people laugh. He has been progressing slowly over the past few years. Whenever he lands a good character, he turns into the highlight of the film with his outstanding comedy. In movies like 'Mathu Vadalara', 'Rangabali', 'Bedurulanka 2012', and 'Geethanjali Malli Vachindi', he has delivered rib-tickling performances. Even in a lead role in 'Vivaha Bhojanambu', he made audiences laugh and cry. Despite being busier than ever, he hasn’t had a film that fully utilized his talent until now. 'Mathu Vadalara 2' seems to have filled that gap.







Directors’ Focus on Satya!



With each film, Satya’s career graph is on the rise, and Tollywood directors have taken notice. Information suggests that several star directors are planning to cast him in full-length characters in their films. With positive audience responses, filmmakers are considering creating separate comedy tracks just for him. Recently, in the Ravi Teja and Harish Shankar combo film 'Mr. Bachchan', Satya had a full-length role. Although his comedy was a highlight, the film’s flop status didn't bring him much recognition.







Tough Competition for Other Comedians!



Tollywood is home to many comedians like Ali, Vennela Kishore, Priyadarshi, Getup Sreenu, Saptagiri, Chamak Chandra, Thagubothu Ramesh, and Dhanraj, who are all trying to rise to stardom. Even Sunil has returned to comedy and villain roles. However, critics predict that all these comedians will face stiff competition from Satya. His rising popularity might make him the first choice for directors, suggesting that other comedians must carve out their unique identities or risk diminishing opportunities in the industry.

This Week’s OTT &amp;&nbsp; Telugu Movie Releases (13th&nbsp; Sep)


Cast: Kamal Haasan, Siddharth, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Priya Bhavani, Vivek



Director: Shankar



Music: Anirudh Ravichander



Cinematographer: Ravi Varman



Editor: Sreekar Prasad



Producer: Allirajah Subaskaran



Release Date: 12-07-2024



Kamal Haasan and director Shankar's original film, 'Bharateeyudu', which debuted twenty-five years ago, became a sensation for its intense critique of corruption and bribery. The sequel, titled 'Bharateeyudu 2', was released in theaters on July 12. Alongside Kamal Haasan, the film stars Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh, S.J. Surya, Bobby Simha, Brahmanandam, and Samuthirakani in pivotal roles. Has this film met expectations? Has Kamal Haasan once again captivated audiences as Bharateeyudu2? Let's explore in this review.







Plot



Aravindan (Siddharth) and his friends fight against corruption and injustices within the country. They spread awareness through social media videos and urge the return of Bharateeyudu. In response, the veteran freedom fighter Senapathi (Kamal Haasan), known for his previous anti-corruption crusades, returns to India. He takes decisive action against those deeply involved in corruption and motivates the youth. However, unexpected developments stir public dissent against Bharateeyudu. What exactly unfolded? Why did the public turn against Senapathi? What triggered their anger? Did Bharateeyudu succeed in his objectives upon returning? This forms the crux of the story.







Performance&nbsp;



In 'Bharateeyudu 2', Kamal Haasan delivers a virtuoso performance, reprising the role of Senapathi with remarkable skill. Siddharth also stands out in a pivotal role. Rakul Preet Singh and S.J. Surya enhance the film with their performances, although their characters are somewhat underdeveloped. The rest of the cast delivers adequate performances.







Direction



Director Shankar seems to have merely repeated the narrative of Bharateeyudu. He updated an outdated story to fit modern times, focusing the sequel on showcasing how Bharateeyudu would eliminate corruption today. Shankar’s usual flair is missing in the direction. The screenplay is lackluster, and even Kamal Haasan's introduction isn't as engaging. While some scenes are well-executed, others fail to make an impact. However, Kamal Haasan's chase sequences and the fight scenes with terrorists are highlights. The social message adds some strength to the film, but the lack of father-daughter sentiment and uninspiring songs from the first film negatively impact this one. Overall, the sequel fails to mesmerize the audience as Senapathi did before.







Technical Aspects



On the technical front, the music by Anirudh Ravichander isn't memorable, though the background score is good. However, in some scenes, the BGM dominates too much. The cinematography is commendable, and the editing is passable. The production values are high, showing no compromise on spending.

Public Talk: What Are Netizens Saying?



On Twitter, 'Bharateeyudu 2' is receiving mixed reactions. While a few comment that the film is good, many are posting that it's a flop, surrounding it with negative talk. Some even question if Shankar really directed the film.



A netizen on Twitter called 'Bharateeyudu 2' a disaster, expressing dissatisfaction with its boring and outdated story.




https://twitter.com/TheWarriorr26/status/1811574234780733548




Another netizen said the story progresses boringly. They noted that the first half lacks gripping and exciting sequences.




https://twitter.com/newMovieBuff007/status/1811561032780820788




One person tweeted that the movie was discouraging, with a very poor screenplay and emotional scenes that didn't work, making 'Indian 3' seem unlikely.




https://twitter.com/TheWarriorr26/status/1811574234780733548




A netizen named Vijay posted that 'Indian 2' was a below-average film. However, they found the trailer for 'Indian 3' played during the climax somewhat interesting, raising hopes for the next installment.




https://twitter.com/vijay827482/status/1811579025699066091




Another netizen praised 'Bharateeyudu 2', complimenting Shankar's direction as next-level and Kamal Haasan's acting and action sequences. They gave the movie a four-star rating.

This Week’s OTT &amp;&nbsp; Telugu Movie Releases (12th&nbsp; July)


Chiranjeevi, a leading actor in Tollywood, has dominated the Telugu film industry for over four decades. Even in his sixties, he continues to give young heroes a run for their money with his films. Currently, he serves as an inspiration to the entire generation of young heroes, mentoring newcomers along the way. Chiranjeevi stands as a pillar of support for these emerging stars without any backing in the industry, often attending their movie promotions and contributing to their success. Recently, he graced the pre-release event of Satyadev’s 'Zebra' as a chief guest, boosting the morale of young actors by specially mentioning small films.



Praise for Small Films



Chiranjeevi, a fervent fan and established actor, attended the pre-release event of Satyadev's 'Zebra,' which will be released on the 22nd of this month in Hyderabad. At the event, Chiranjeevi highlighted the successes of small films released this year. He expressed his joy over the Pan-India success of Prasanth Varma and Teja Sajja's 'Hanuman' released during Sankranti. He also acknowledged the successes of 'Committee Kurrollu' produced by Niharika Konidela, and 'Tillu Square' starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda. He was pleased with the Diwali releases 'Lucky Baskhar,' 'Ka,' and 'Amaran,' noting them as positive developments. He mentioned watching 'Matthu Vadalara 2,' starring Keeravani’s son Sri Simha and comedian Satya, twice and praised their performances. The respective film teams were elated by Chiranjeevi’s endorsement.

Reliable Support for Young Heroes



Chiranjeevi continues to support the new generation of heroes who consider him their inspiration. Recently, he attended the pre-release event of Satyadev’s film and even suggested Satyadev as the antagonist for his own movie 'Godfather,' giving a significant boost to Satyadev’s career. Previously, Chiranjeevi praised young hero Suhas at a film event, commending his performance in 'Colour Photo,' which moved Suhas to tears. He also blessed young actor Sharwanand at the 'Sreekaaram' movie pre-release event. When the 'Committee Kurrollu' team visited Chiru's residence, he blessed the lead actor Yashwant, who was visibly grateful during a photo session. Chiranjeevi consistently encourages young actors whenever the opportunity arises.







Chiranjeevi Set to Visit Japan!



Chiranjeevi is currently working on the film 'Viswambhara,' directed by 'Bimbisara' fame Vashistha Mallidi. According to the latest buzz, he will soon head to Japan for a ten-day shooting schedule, which will include important scenes and songs. The film, produced under the banner of UV Creations by Vikram, Vamshi, and Pramod, is being made as a socio-fantasy entertainer similar to 'Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari' and 'Anji.' Scheduled for a Sankranti 2025 release, Chiranjeevi has stepped back from 'Game Changer' with Ram Charan to focus on 'Viswambhara.'







Three Distinguished Honors This Year



This year has been memorable for Chiranjeevi, who received three prestigious awards. Last month, he was honored with the ANR National Award, presented by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan in the presence of Akkineni Nagarjuna's family. In June, he received the Padma Vibhushan, India's second-highest civilian award, from the President. His family, including his wife Surekha, son Ram Charan, daughter-in-law Upasana, and daughter Sushmita, attended the ceremony. Chiranjeevi also made it to the Guinness Book of World Records for his contributions to 156 films and 537 songs, enchanting audiences with 24,000 dance steps.






Chiranjeevi: Godfather to Young Heroes, A Big Salute to This Mega Support!


The upcoming film "Pushpa 2," starring Allu Arjun, is buzzing nationwide. Directed by Sukumar, the film is almost ready to hit theaters, with a grand release scheduled for December 5th. The shooting is nearly complete, except for two songs and one scene, raising concerns among fans about whether the film will release on the announced date. Amid these developments, an unexpected twist in the film's production has emerged: Thaman has been brought in to replace Devi Sri Prasad as the music director, which has been a hot topic of discussion.



Thaman Joins Pushpa 2 Team



It is well-known that star music director Devi Sri Prasad was scoring the music for "Pushpa 2" after his tracks for the first part created a nationwide sensation. Recently released songs from the film have already captured the youth's attention. However, rumors are now circulating online that Devi Sri Prasad has been set aside and Thaman has taken over the responsibility for the film's background music.







Dissatisfaction from Sukumar



Sukumar and Devi Sri Prasad have had a strong rapport, with Devi providing music for all of Sukumar’s past films, which featured hit albums. Sukumar had entrusted Devi Sri Prasad with the music responsibilities for "Pushpa 2" as well, and while he was satisfied with the songs, he was reportedly not happy with the background music. With just 29 days left until the film's release, and Devi Sri having his hands full, Sukumar decided to bring in Thaman to handle the BGM. Discussions with Thaman have reportedly taken place, and he has already presented some background scores to Sukumar. An official announcement regarding this change is expected soon.







Why Thaman?



Music director S.S. Thaman is renowned not only for his compelling songs but also for his exceptional background scores. Recently, his BGMs have been making waves, with notable contributions to films like "Akhanda," "Veera Simha Reddy," "Vakeel Saab," "Bhagavanth Kesari," "Guntur Kaaram," "Bro," and "Skanda." Thaman, already having worked with Allu Arjun in blockbuster films such as "Sarrainodu" and "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo," knows exactly what kind of musical elevations suit Allu Arjun’s films to make theaters erupt. Hence, there is a strong belief among fans that if Thaman provides the background music for "Pushpa 2," it will be phenomenal.







Another Music Director in Consideration?



Alongside Thaman, another music director, Ajaneesh Loknath, known for his work on films like "Kantara" and "Mangalavaaram," is also being considered for "Pushpa 2." Rumors suggest that Thaman might handle the first part and Ajaneesh the second, indicating that up to three directors might work on the film. However, industry insiders strongly believe that Thaman will be the sole provider of the background music, although clarity will only emerge with an official announcement.







A Rare Feat for Pushpa 2



"Pushpa 2" marks a significant achievement as Allu Arjun, previously known primarily to the Telugu audience, garnered a global fan base following the success of "Pushpa" (2021). With the film achieving pan-India and overseas success, "Pushpa 2" has generated substantial hype among international audiences. Pre-sale bookings have recently opened overseas, and the first 15,000 tickets sold out in record time—a first for an Indian film in America. The "Pushpa" team has released a special poster to announce this milestone.

In Tollywood, legendary heroes like Megastar Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna are always in the forefront. Having entertained millions of fans over five decades, they continue to engage their audience energetically even past the age of 60. Recently, at a film industry event marking Balakrishna's 50 years in cinema, Chiranjeevi mentioned their upcoming multi-starrer. Director Boyapati Srinu has been challenged to craft the story, and he recently made some exciting comments about this Chiru-Balayya project, sending fans into a frenzy.



‘Without a Story, It’s a Waste’



Fans are eagerly awaiting the Chiranjeevi-Balakrishna multi-starrer. Both actors have openly declared their readiness to proceed if the script is ready, generating anticipation for the director who will utilize this opportunity. Especially since Megastar Chiranjeevi named Boyapati, expectations for this multi-starrer project are high. Recently, Boyapati commented on the project during an award function related to a channel, stating, "It would be a waste if I don't write a story for Chiru and Balayya, who are the title of my movie." This video is going viral.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1847303422111801807




Why Boyapati?



Many directors attended Balakrishna's Golden Jubilee celebrations, but Chiranjeevi specifically mentioned Boyapati Srinu, who is known as the go-to director for action films. With blockbuster films like ‘Simha’, ‘Legend’, and ‘Akhanda’ with senior actor Balakrishna, Boyapati is considered the best choice for handling this grand multi-starrer project. Analysts believe that Chiranjeevi might have strongly suggested Boyapati with a challenge in mind. At the same time, senior director Y.V.S. Chowdary and other writers are also suggested indirectly by Chiru to seize this opportunity.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1830519890249421017




Is it a Guaranteed Mass Story?



Boyapati Srinu knows the pulse of the mass audience well. Both Chiru and Balayya have a huge following among mass audiences. Films like ‘Gang Leader’, ‘Mutha Mestri’ by Chiru, and faction films like ‘Samarasimha Reddy’, ‘Chennakesava Reddy’, and ‘Narasimha Naidu’ by Balayya have been massive hits in C centers. When such heroes come together, the level of the story can be imagined. Sources close to the development suggest that Boyapati is preparing a strong mass story that will present Chiru and Balayya like never before.







Boyapati Competes with Y.V.S. Chowdary!



Based on films like ‘Indra’ and ‘Samarasimha Reddy’, director Y.V.S. Chowdary is ready to write roles for Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna. Recently, there has been significant buzz about his initiatives in this direction. Chowdary, a die-hard fan of the Nandamuri family and having a strong connection with them, has previously made films with Balayya and Harikrishna. However, after being away from the industry for a while, he has announced a new project aiming to bring back Chiru and Balayya together with his story. It remains to be seen whose story will finally be chosen between Chiru and Balayya.







‘Akhanda 2’ to Come First



In Tollywood, the combo of Balakrishna (Balakrishna) and director Boyapati Srinu (Boyapati Srinu) is well-known for hit films like ‘Simha’ (Simha), ‘Legend’ (Legend), and ‘Akhanda’ (Akhanda). They are now ready to start their fourth project together, recently announced under the title ‘Akhanda 2’. The pooja ceremonies for this movie took place grandly in Hyderabad, attended by Balakrishna's daughters Nara Brahmani (Nara Brahmani), Tejaswini (Tejaswini), and other family members. However, even if Boyapati finalizes the Chiru-Balayya multi-starrer, it will only move to the sets after completing ‘Akhanda 2’.

Chiranjeevi & Balakrishna Set for Epic Multi-Starrer: Boyapati Srinu Takes on the Challenge!


Tollywood's leading actor, Nandamuri Balakrishna, has completed 50 years in the film industry. In this context, the grand NBK 50 Years Celebrations event was held on Sunday (September 1). Film and political dignitaries attended the event to reminisce about their connections with Balakrishna and his acting career. Megastar Chiranjeevi, who was the chief guest, made some intriguing comments at the event and offered a bumper offer to director Boyapati and other scriptwriters. This has now become a hot topic in Tollywood.



Green Light for a Multi-Starrer with Balayya



At Balakrishna's golden jubilee celebrations, Megastar Chiranjeevi made some exciting comments. He expressed his pleasure in participating in Balayya's 50-year celebration, emphasizing that it was not only a celebration for Balakrishna but for the entire Telugu film industry. He praised Balakrishna as a synonym for faction movies in the industry. Chiru mentioned that Balakrishna inspired him to make the movie 'Indra'. He said if any director or writer comes up with a good story involving characters like Indrasena Reddy and Samarasimha Reddy, he would be ready to act. Promptly, Balakrishna also agreed by saying "double okay" when Chiru asked "Are you ready?" Specifically pointing to director Boyapati Srinu, Chiru challenged him to come up with a story, and also mentioned YVS Chowdary's name in this context.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1830519890249421017




Why Boyapati?



Many directors attended Balakrishna's golden jubilee event from the industry, but Chiru specifically mentioned Boyapati Srinu for a strong reason. Among current directors, Boyapati is known as a caretaker of action films and has directed blockbuster films with senior actor Balakrishna such as 'Simha', 'Legend', and 'Akhanda'. Chiru might believe that only Boyapati could do justice to such a massive multi-starrer, which is why he specifically called out "Oi Boyapati.. Challenge" suggesting that analysts believe Chiru anticipated Boyapati could handle this project. At the same time, senior director YVS Chowdary and other scriptwriters were also indirectly encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.







YVS Chowdary Steps into the Arena?



It's known that director and producer YVS Chowdary has come forward ready to write roles for Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna, taking inspiration from movies like 'Indra' and 'Samarasimha Reddy'. Efforts in this direction have already started within the industry. YVS Chowdary, a die-hard fan of the Nandamuri family, has a strong connection with them and has directed films with Balakrishna and Harikrishna in the past. Though he had been away from the industry for some time, he has recently announced a new project. If he manages to convince Chiru and Balayya with his story, it could lead to a never-before-seen multi-starrer in Tollywood.







Chiru's Crazy Comments on Fan Wars



With the recent increase in fan wars on social media, Chiru made interesting comments at Balakrishna’s golden jubilee event. "Fans often fight, but events like these show the strong bonds between heroes. That’s why our fans also stay united. Balakrishna always attends our family functions and even dances with us. The honor of acting as a hero for 50 years is Balakrishna’s own. I pray to God that he continues to bless Balakrishna with the strength to entertain us for 100 years in good health," said the Megastar.
