Half Saree Function Songs List: Melody Songs to Play During a Half Saree Function


Entering the industry as the heir of the legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Nagarjuna has undertaken experiments that no other hero would dare to attempt. He fearlessly moved forward in his career with a variety of unique films, earning a distinct recognition in genres ranging from mass and class to spiritual and romantic. He successfully introduced his sons, Naga Chaitanya and Akhil, as the third generation from the Akkineni family into the industry. Behind Nagarjuna's success in the industry are some daring steps. Let's learn about them on the occasion of his birthday today (August 29).



'Siva' Sensation



Typically, early in their careers, most heroes opt for safe stories. However, Nagarjuna made a big impact with the experimental film 'Siva'. He took a significant risk by giving Ram Gopal Varma, who had never even been an assistant director, a chance to direct. This daring step turned his career around, creating a sensation with 'Siva' in a way no one anticipated. This film not only changed the trajectory of Nag's career but also altered the course of Tollywood, challenging the traditional perceptions of a hero's role with 'Siva'.







Diversity a Priority



With 'Siva', Nagarjuna became a top hero in the industry. While typically a single hit film would set a repetitive pattern in stories, Nagarjuna planned his career to ensure diversity in every film. This strategy led him to star in a supernatural heist film 'Govinda Govinda', a family drama 'Ninne Pelladatha', and an action entertainer 'Hello Brother', continually delighting his fans and establishing a dedicated fan base, thereby solidifying his status as a star hero.







'Annamayya'



At a time when peers like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, and Venkatesh were dominating with commercial films, Nagarjuna shocked everyone by signing on to the devotional project 'Annamayya'. Already popular for his mass image, his decision to do a devotional film raised eyebrows within the industry. Committed to portraying diverse roles, Nagarjuna embraced the challenge without hesitation, delivering a performance in 'Annamayya' that became a landmark in his career. Directed by K. Raghavendra Rao, the film was a sensational success, capturing the true essence of Annamayya and earning two National Awards, nine Nandi Awards, and three Filmfare Awards.







More Spiritual Films



Following the success of 'Annamayya', Nagarjuna didn't stop there. While continuing to act in commercial films, he also starred in more devotional films. Films like 'Sri Ramadasu', 'Shirdi Sai', 'Om Namo Venkatesaya', and 'Jagadguru Adi Shankar' under the combination of Raghavendra Rao and Nagarjuna also achieved great success at the box office.







Opportunities for Newcomers



Nagarjuna has proven time and again that not only is giving chances to newcomers not a risk, but it can also lead to success. Throughout his extensive acting career, he has introduced around 40 directors to Tollywood. Directors like Ram Gopal Varma ('Siva'), YVS Chowdary (Sri Sita Ramula Kalyanam Chootamu Raarandi), Lawrence ('Mass'), and Vijay Binni ('Naa Saami Ranga') are included in this list. Nagarjuna often credits these new directors for playing a pivotal role in his stardom.







The First Pan-India Star from Telugu Cinema



Director Krishna Vamsi, in an interview, made interesting remarks about Nagarjuna, describing him as the hero who took Telugu cinema global. Nagarjuna brought directors from various industries and produced diverse films with his own money, significantly altering the audience's perspective. He worked with directors like Mani Ratnam, Priyadarshan, Ravichandran, and Mahesh Bhatt from Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and Tamil industries, becoming a true Pan-India foundation.

As the Host of Bigg Boss...



Unlike most stars who shy away from television, Nagarjuna embraced it. He has been hosting the Telugu Bigg Boss show for several years, entertaining the television audience with his charm. While younger heroes like NTR and Tarak hosted for only a season, Nagarjuna has been continuously hosting, completing five seasons (Bigg Boss 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and is set to host the upcoming eighth season. He has also been notable as the host of the 'Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu' game show.

The Fitness Mantra



Even at the age of sixty, Nagarjuna's fitness level amazes the younger generation of heroes. Maintaining his physique from his 'Siva' days, he continues to give tough competition to younger heroes. Nagarjuna often shares that his secret to looking great is his calm demeanor and regular workouts. Having debuted as a hero in 1986 with 'Vikram', Nagarjuna has now acted in over a hundred films. Currently, he is working under the direction of Shekhar Kammula in 'Kubera'.

#HBD Sri Gouri Priya:  Journey from 'Bol Baby Bol' to Tollywood’s Promising Heroine!


Vijay Deverakonda is one of the popular young heroes in Tollywood who has made a name for himself without any film background. He became an overnight star with the movie ‘Arjun Reddy’. His subsequent successes with 'Pelli Choopulu', 'Taxiwaala', and 'Geetha Govindam' secured his place in the Telugu film industry. However, his recent movies 'Liger', 'Kushi', and 'Family Star' did not do well at the box office. Currently, there are high hopes for his ongoing project 'VD12'. Vijay is currently in Sri Lanka shooting for 'VD12' and is having a chill time there.



Vijay Chilling While Steering a Boat!



The movie 'VD 12', a Vijay Deverakonda-Gowtam Tinnanuri combo, is currently being shot at a brisk pace in Sri Lanka. Vijay is working hard for his role in this new look for the movie while also enjoying his downtime. Videos of Vijay enjoying a boat ride in the waters have gone viral online. He shared a video of a sunset boat ride on his Instagram account, which has been widely shared and celebrated by his fans for his boat driving skills.



        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Vijay Deverakonda (@thedeverakonda)



The Movie Will Be in Two Parts...



Producer Nagavanshi recently spoke about 'VD 12', mentioning that the movie will be released in two parts. "I am not taking any risks with Vijay Deverakonda’s film. The content justifies two parts, and based on the outcome of the first part, we will proceed with the second," he said, confident of a hit. This is the first time a Vijay Deverakonda film will be made in two parts, as all his previous films were single installments. If all goes as planned, fans might see sequels in Vijay's career too.







Competition with Pawan!



With the announcement of the release date of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' on Monday (September 23), a box office clash between Pawan and Vijay seems likely. 'VD 12' is set to release next year on March 28, the same day as 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu'. Fans of Vijay are gearing up for a big fight at the box office against a big star like Pawan. The producers close to Pawan, Sitara Entertainments, are producing 'VD 12', which might not push them to reschedule. Industry insiders speculate that it is unlikely for 'VD 12' to find a new release date given the circumstances.







Vijay’s Future Projects!



Currently, Vijay Deverakonda has a couple of exciting projects in hand besides 'VD 12'. Post 'Family Star', he is set to work on another project produced by Dil Raju and directed by Ravikiran Kola. Additionally, he is undertaking another project under the direction of Rahul Sankrityan, which is expected to be a period drama set in the Rayalaseema backdrop. Rashmika Mandanna is rumored to be cast opposite Vijay in this film.






VD 12: Vijay Deverakonda Chilling in Sri Lanka, Viral Video of Him Steering a Boat!


Anirudh Ravichander is currently creating waves in the South Indian music scene. Originating from Kollywood, this music sensation has gained immense popularity through movies like 'Raghuvaram B.Tech', 'Vikram', 'Jailer', and 'Beast'. His presence guarantees significant hype for the movies. Particularly among the youth, Anirudh's songs and background scores resonate well. Recently, he also delivered a stunning soundtrack for the film 'Devara' starring Tarak, reinforcing the trust placed in him. Although Anirudh has primarily focused on Kollywood until now, it seems he is shifting his focus to Tollywood, sparking discussions about the challenges this poses to local music directors.



A Craze in Telugu Cinema!



The young music sensation Anirudh has a strong following in Telugu cinema as well. He has directly worked on Telugu films like 'Agnyaathavaasi', 'Jersey', 'Gang Leader', and 'UTurn'. While his music in these films was a hit, there wasn't much discussion about Anirudh in Tollywood. However, with recent films like 'Vikram', 'Jailer', and 'Jawan', his reputation has soared to a Pan-India level. The youth are particularly enamored with his background music. These films being dubbed in Telugu also meant that Anirudh’s music was thoroughly enjoyed by the Telugu audience, who listened to his songs on repeat. Due to the demand from NTR's fans, Anirudh was also brought into the 'Devara' project, as recently disclosed by the makers.







A Series of Offers in Tollywood!



Following the success of 'Devara', Anirudh's name is being increasingly heard in Tollywood. Telugu audiences are eager to experience his music in theaters once again. Noticing this interest, Telugu filmmakers are showing a keen desire to work with Anirudh. Observing the reception in Telugu cinema, Anirudh has decided to amp up his involvement in Tollywood projects. Reportedly, he has given the green light to 'VD12', a project in collaboration with Vijay Deverakonda and Gowtam Tinnanuri, and has also agreed to score music for an upcoming film by Nani and Srikanth Odela. Other directors are also reaching out to Anirudh for their movies, with talks suggesting he might take on up to half a dozen Telugu projects in the coming days.







A Challenge for Thaman and Devi Sri?



Music directors Thaman and Devi Sri Prasad have been the top choices in Tollywood for the past few years, typically scoring music for five to eight out of every ten releases. They have been the first two preferences for Telugu directors. However, analysts believe that with Anirudh’s entry, both face stiff competition. Until recently, Anirudh had not prioritized Tollywood, but now that he is focusing on Telugu films, it poses a significant challenge to them. It remains to be seen how Thaman and Devi Sri will fare against the wave of Anirudh's mania.







If These Click, Stopping Them is Tough!



Thaman is currently composing for a film Game Changer directed by Shankar starring Ram Charan. The songs 'Jaragandi Jaragandi' and 'Ra Macha Macha' have already been released to a positive response. Similarly, Thaman is also scoring for Pawan Kalyan's 'OG', and the song 'Hungry Cheetah' has thrilled Pawan's fans. Meanwhile, Thaman has been chosen as the music director for 'Akhanda 2', a sequel directed by Boyapati featuring Balakrishna. On the other hand, Devi Sri Prasad is handling the music for 'Pushpa 2'. The title song and 'Suseki Aggiravva Madiri' from 'Pushpa' have already amassed millions of views on YouTube. If these projects succeed, it could be tough for anyone to challenge Thaman and Devi Sri’s dominance in the industry.






Anirudh's Tollywood Takeover: A New Challenge for Thaman and Devi Sri?


Cast: Rakesh Galebhe, Sravanthi Pattipati, Manasa Veena, Bhargav Gopinatham, Karthik Khandal, Aadi Naidu, Shiva Juturi, and others



Director: Komal R. Bharadwaj



Music: Gyani



Cinematography: Taylor Blumel



Editor: Chota K. Prasad



Producers: Hiranya, Padma, Komal R. Bharadwaj



Release Date: November 8, 2024



'Rahasyam Idham Jagath' stars Rakesh Galebhe, Sravanthi Pattipati, Manasa Veena, Bhargav Gopinatham, and others in key roles. Produced by Padma and Hiranya Ravinuthala under Single Cell Universe Production and directed by Komal R. Bharadwaj, the movie hit theaters today (November 8). Promoted as a film featuring elements of time travel and a multi-universe concept, let’s find out how this film fares.







What's the Story



The story takes place in America. Akira (Sravanthi) and her boyfriend Abhi (Rakesh) plan a trip to India. Before leaving, they decide to go on a trip with old friends (Vishwa, Kalyan, and Aru). They end up in a remote forest village where Akira’s ex, Vishwa, also joins them. Due to heavy snowfall, they are forced to stay the night in a local hotel. One of Akira’s friends, Aru, a scientist, is researching the concept of the multi-universe. A fight ensues, and Abhi ends up killing Akira and Kalyan. At this point, Aru reveals that there is a way to the multi-universe in the village. Desperate to bring his friends back to life, Abhi starts searching for a wormhole to the multi-universe. What happens next? Does Abhi find the wormhole? Can he save his friends? Do Abhi and Akira end up going to India? This is the story.







Performance&nbsp;



Rakesh, known for his hit short films, shines as the lead, particularly in his scenes traveling through the wormhole. Sravanthi impresses as Akira, while Aru fits well in the role of the scientist. Bhargav provides some laughs, and Karthik performs well in a negative role. The fact that the entire shoot took place in America, with training influenced by Hollywood, is evident in the actors' performances. The rest of the cast delivered well within their roles.







Direction



Director Komal R. Bharadwaj seems to have drawn inspiration from Hollywood films like Inception and Interstellar. However, he creatively connects these concepts with events from Indian mythology to resonate with the local audience. The way he links the multi-universe to the Sri Chakra and the wormhole is intriguing. The first half is mostly about the friends’ trip and conflicts, with the multi-universe element introduced right before the interval. In the second half, Abhi’s search for the wormhole and his time travel to save his friends are depicted. The interval scene and climax add strength to the film. However, the heavy use of American actors, the Hollywood-inspired scenes, and dialogues that lack a local touch are notable drawbacks.







Technical Aspects



Technically, the film stands out with its impressive visuals and cinematography, especially in the forest locations. However, the background music often overpowers the dialogues. The songs are decent, though dubbing could have been more refined. Production values are high, complementing the film’s theme well.

Telugu Mind-Bender 'Rahasyam Idham Jagath' Takes on Hollywood! 🌀 Time Travel Meets Sri Chakra in This American-Shot Thriller


Cast: Sri Simha, Satya, Faria Abdullah, Sunil, Vennela Kishore, Rohini, and others.



Writer and Director: Ritesh Rana



Music: Kaala Bhairava



Cinematographer: Suresh Sarangam



Editor: Karthika Srinivas



Producer: Chiranjeevi (Cherry)



Release Date: September 13, 2024



Sri Simha stars in 'Mathu Vadalara 2,' directed by Ritesh Rana. The film features key performances by Faria Abdullah, Satya, Vennela Kishore, Rohini, and Sunil. The movie captured everyone's attention when actor Prabhas launched the trailer, which was full of laughs, heightening expectations. How did the film turn out? Did it impress the Telugu audience? Let's dive into this review to find out.







Plot



Babu (Sri Simha) and Yesu Babu (Satya) work as delivery boys struggling with financial issues. Their inadequate earnings lead them to become special agents. A small mistake in a case they handle gets them into trouble. What is this case about? What was their mistake? How did they get out of it? How does undercover agent Nidhi (Faria Abdullah) help them? To find out, you must watch the movie.







Performances



As the lead, Sri Simha delivers a solid performance, captivating in comedy and action sequences. However, Satya, present in every scene, steals the show, making him the true hero of the film. With his punchlines and comic timing, Satya excels, especially with his expressions that guarantee a laugh riot. His antics as the "Sexy Siren" in the film are particularly effective. Faria Abdullah also lands a substantial role that is memorable post her character in 'Chitti'. Vennela Kishore adds his unique flavor of comedy, while Sunil and Rohini do justice to their significant roles. Other actors also performed adequately.







Direction



Director Ritesh Rana crafts stories revolving around drugs, guns, and money. This time is no different, blending kidnapping drama with humor to entertain the audience. He successfully uses star references including Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Balakrishna, and Mahesh Babu to great effect. The characters of Sri Simha and Satya are particularly entertaining and well-developed. Every character appears fresh and funny on screen. The director keeps the first half a fun ride, though he struggles a bit in the second half where some scenes drag. The climax also feels predictable, a minor drawback.







Technically



On the technical front, Kaala Bhairava's background score is a major plus, elevating many scenes effectively. The cinematography is commendable, but the editing could have been tighter. The production values are high.







Plus Points



- Sri Simha and Satya’s performances



- Comedy



- Background music



Minus Points

Did Babu Mohan and Yesu manage to clear their names, or are they still implicated? Did their desire to earn money get fulfilled? That forms the crux of the story.

Mathu Vadalara 2: Storming the Box Office with Impressive Three-Day Collections!


Cast: Chandrahass, Vismaya Sri, Richa Joshi, Ambika Vani, Ritu Mantra, Muralidhar Goud, and others.



Written and Directed by: Srinivas Mehta



Music by: Ashwin Hemant



Cinematography: Askar Ali



Editor: Marthand K. Venkatesh



Producers: Prabhakar, Malayaja Prabhakar



Release Date: 04-10-2024



Chandrahass, son of small-screen megastar Prabhakar, has become highly popular on social media as the Attitude Star. His latest film 'Ramnagar Bunny' has been much discussed on social media recently. Chandrahass's comments about refunding ticket money if the movie doesn't appeal went viral. Now, the film has hit the screens. So, how is it? Did the Attitude Star deliver a hit? Did he captivate as a hero? Let’s find out in this review.







Plot



Bunny (Chandrahass) from Ramnagar has a weakness for girls. He falls in love with every girl he sees, sequentially engaging in love tracks with three of them (Vismaya Sri, Richa Joshi, Ambika Vani). Facing unexpected circumstances, he even promises to marry an auntie and joins her company. However, Bunny realizes he doesn’t actually like the auntie. He discovers he truly loves Shailu (Vismaya Sri), but by then, her engagement with someone else is already fixed. What does Bunny do next? How does he win Shailu’s love? For that, you must head to the theaters.







Performances



Actor Chandrahass has brought the same attitude to the screen that made him popular, proving to be the film’s strength. Despite this being his first film, his acting is captivating. He performed confidently, excelling in dances and fight scenes, and also impressed in romantic scenes. Vismaya Sri as Shailu looked adorable, and the other three women involved with Bunny were adequate. Muralidhar Goud, playing Bunny's father, contributed well with his comedic timing. Other supporting actors were passable.







Direction



Director Srinivas Mehta crafted 'Ramnagar Bunny' in a way that appeals to the youth, seemingly writing the story just for Chandrahass. He combined a simple story with an excellent screenplay to deliver full-on entertainment. He successfully portrayed Chandrahass not as a superhero but as a regular young man wandering the streets, which really worked. The film maintains a light-hearted tone throughout, with comedy scenes, a few emotional scenes, four songs, and two fight sequences, making it a perfect commercial film. However, Chandrahass's inexperience shows in dragged scenes and emotional sequences, which can be seen as a minus.







Technically



On the technical front, three songs were quite good, and the background music was engaging. The cinematography was also well-done. However, drone shots of Hyderabad city and selfie visuals in one song didn't quite work out. The editing was okay, and the production values were good.







Plus Points



- Chandrahass's acting



- Commercial elements



- Music



Minus Points



- Dragged scenes



- Weak emotional scenes

Icon Star Allu Arjun is starring in the much-awaited project 'Pushpa 2,' directed by Sukumar. Movie lovers across the country are eagerly awaiting its release. Devi Sri Prasad, the Telugu rockstar, is composing the music for this pan-India project. However, as the release date approaches and the background score is yet to be completed, renowned music director S.S. Thaman has also joined the project. Along with him, two other top music directors are working hard for 'Pushpa 2.' This has become a hot topic in Tollywood right now, generating a lot of buzz online.



Crazy Buzz Over the Background Score



It is known that four top music directors are working on 'Pushpa 2.' Recently, at a movie event, Thaman clarified that he, along with others, is working on the film. According to the latest buzz, S.S. Thaman is providing the background music for the action sequences. Devi Sri Prasad is handling the BGM for important fight sequences and emotional scenes. 'Kantara' fame Ajaneesh Loknath is reportedly composing the BGM for a crucial festive episode in the second half. Another composer, Shaam C.S., is said to be scoring the music for several other scenes. Dividing the movie into parts and having four composers is a first in the history of Telugu cinema.







Sukumar's Dissatisfaction with Thaman's Work!



There's talk in the industry that Thaman has finished his part of the background score and shown it to Sukumar. Shaam C.S. and Ajaneesh Loknath have also completed their assigned work and submitted it to Sukumar. However, it's rumored that Thaman's BGM did not impress Sukumar much, while Sukumar was very pleased with the output from Shaam and Ajaneesh, feeling that they had delivered beyond his expectations. Reports suggest that Sukumar has asked Thaman to rework his portion, not entirely, but to better some parts of it. Thaman is expected to complete this within two days.







Another Song Still Pending!



A crucial item song featuring Telugu star heroine Sreeleela titled 'Kissick' was recently filmed. It is said that she has performed some impressive dance steps with Allu Arjun. According to the latest buzz, Sukumar is getting ready to shoot a fourth song from November 22. There is speculation in the industry that the shooting for this song is still pending even though the movie is scheduled for release on December 5, causing anxiety among Allu Arjun's fans. They are questioning whether the movie will indeed release on the announced date. Sukumar is now urged to expedite the music work and finish the pending shoot.






Pushpa 2 Sets New Benchmark: Four Top Music Directors Collaborate Amid Sukumar’s High Standards!


Cast: Anjali, Ananya Nagalla, Chaitanya Sagiraju, Ravindra Vijay, Shanmukh, Mahaboob Basha, Sri Tej, Baby Chaitra, Sammeta Gandhi, and others.



Directed by: Mukesh Prajapati



Cinematography: Prasanna S. Kumar



Music by: Siddharth Sadashivuni



Editing: Raviteja Girijala



Producer: Prashant Malishetti



OTT Platform: ZEE5



Release Date: July 19, 2024



Renowned actress Anjali stars as a prostitute in the series 'Bahishkarana,' a rural revenge action drama directed by Mukesh Prajapati. The series also features significant roles by Ravindra Vijay, Ananya Nagalla, Sri Tej, Shanmukh, Mahaboob Basha, and Chaitanya Sagiraju. Promotional materials have already heightened expectations for this series, which premiered on ZEE5 on July 19, consisting of six episodes. Let's delve into the review to see how this web series fares.







Plot



Set in the 1990s in Peddapalli, a village in Guntur district, the story centers around Shivayya (Ravindra Vijay), the authoritarian village president whose influence manipulates the lives of the villagers, especially women. Among them is Pushpa (Anjali), who lives under his control as his concubine. Darshi (Sri Tej), an employee of Shivayya, falls in love with Pushpa and they plan to marry. However, Shivayya, feigning agreement, strategically sabotages their plans and instead marries Darshi to his niece, Lakshmi (Ananya Nagalla). Amidst this chaos, Darshi finds himself wrongly embroiled in a legal case. The unfolding drama explores who framed Darshi, his confrontation with Shivayya, the repercussions he faces, and how Pushpa, with the aid of Lakshmi, seeks revenge against Shivayya. The series delves into these compelling dynamics.







Performances



Anjali is captivating in the role of a prostitute. With her dialogues and mannerisms, she mesmerized the audience. She beautifully portrays the variations of a woman forced into a life she dislikes and struggling for her lover's affection. Anjali also shines in action sequences, particularly impressing in the climax. Sri Tej as Darshi delivers a compelling performance, embodying a young man from the lower strata who cannot tolerate injustice. Ananya Nagalla as Lakshmi offers a natural performance, while Ravindra Vijay as the villainous Shivayya delivers a solid performance, appearing powerful through his dialogues and looks. The rest of the cast adequately fulfill their roles.







Direction



Director Mukesh Prajapati crafts this series as a period revenge action drama. He brings to life the struggle of a prostitute fighting against the injustices done to her lover. The series vividly portrays how caste discriminations dominated rural areas in the past, showing how the upper classes oppressed the lower castes and particularly women. The series touches on delicate issues like caste and untouchability, giving importance to drama and emotions. However, despite a promising concept, the presentation feels routine and the series progresses flatly without significant twists. While the backdrop of prostitution offers a fresh element, the rest of the storyline recalls plots from older films. Some disturbing scenes aside, 'Bahishkarana' consistently entertains.







Technically



On the technical front, cinematographer Prasanna S. Kumar does an excellent job. His camera work effectively transports the audience back to the 1990s. Siddharth Sadashivuni's background score is a significant plus, elevating the action sequences to a higher level. The production values are also notably high.







Plus Points



- Anjali's performance



- Periodic revenge drama



- Background music



Minus Points



- Lack of twists



- Some boring scenes

Cast



Allu Arjun, Rashmika, Fahadh Faasil, Jagapathi Babu, Sunil, Anasuya, Rao Ramesh, Dhanunjaya, Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari, Tarak Ponnappa, Ajay, Sritejas, and others



Written and Directed by: Sukumar Music: Devi Sri Prasad Cinematography: Miroslaw Kuba Brozek Editing: Naveen Nooli Producers: Naveen Yerneni, Ravi Yalamanchili Production Houses: Mythri Movie Makers, Sukumar Writings Release Date: December 5, 2024



Everyone knows what a sensation "Pushpa" (2021) created when it was released with Allu Arjun in the lead role under Sukumar's direction. As a result, its sequel "Pushpa 2" has garnered nationwide attention. The movie features Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead opposite Bunny, while Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil plays the antagonist. The already-released trailer, teaser, promotional materials, and marketing campaigns have significantly raised expectations. The film team also conducted promotions in various major cities across the country, further increasing the hype. The film released worldwide on December 5th in Telugu, Hindi, and several other South Indian languages. So how is "Pushpa 2"? Did it impress the audience? Did it achieve blockbuster success? Let's find out in this review.



Story



Pushparaj (Allu Arjun), who started his journey as a red sandalwood coolie, rises to become the leader controlling a smuggling syndicate. He expands his syndicate's operations internationally and grows powerful enough to influence politics by funding the ruling party. During this time, his rivalry with SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat (Fahadh Faasil) intensifies. Despite his aggressive nature outside, Pushparaj never disobeys his wife Srivalli (Rashmika). One day, when Pushparaj sets out to meet the Chief Minister with MP Siddappa (Rao Ramesh), Srivalli eagerly asks him to get a photo with the CM. However, when Pushpa makes this request, the CM mocks him. This leads Pushpa to challenge that he will make MP Siddappa the Chief Minister. What does Pushpa do to achieve this? What's his conflict with Central Minister Veera Pratap Reddy (Jagapathi Babu)? What plans does SP Shekhawat devise to stop Pushpa? Does Pushpa keep his promise to Srivalli? The story revolves around these questions.







Performances



Bunny (Allu Arjun) once again excels as Pushpa Raj. He shows even more impact in terms of language and body language. He mesmerizes in fights and dances. Particularly, his acting in the Jatara episode and climax reaches another level. Rashmika as Srivalli delivers a memorable performance with great chemistry alongside Allu Arjun. Compared to the first part, she's given more glamorous scenes in the sequel. Her performance peaks in many scenes. Sreeleela enchants with the "Kissika" song, dazzling with her dance moves as usual. Fahadh Faasil performs well as Shekhawat, though the character loses some seriousness as the story progresses. Rao Ramesh impresses as the MP. Compared to the first part, Sunil and Anasuya's roles get less prominence. Jagapathi Babu as the Central Minister and Kannada actor Tarak Ponnappa make their presence felt in the story. Jagadeesh appears in a key role as Allu Arjun's friend. The rest of the cast performs adequately within their scope.



Direction 



Compared to the first part, director Sukumar has expanded Pushpa Raj's territory further. He has incorporated his trademark psychological elements and mind games into the story. He keeps the audience energized with hero elevations throughout. Allu Arjun's introduction, the Tom and Jerry fight between Pushpa and Shekhawat, and the strategic moves are well portrayed. Though the story seems to move slowly, the interval bang takes it to another level. While showing Pushpa's business and political empires, the director effectively portrays his affection for Srivalli. The love and chemistry between Pushpa and Srivalli appear cute on screen. In the second half, the Gangamma Jatara episode is the highlight of the movie. Sukumar excellently showcases heroism and family emotions in this episode. The fights and family emotions in the climax are entertaining. However, the lack of strong villainy and excessive runtime can be considered drawbacks. In the crucial scenes, Sukumar has laid the groundwork for "Pushpa 3" with a twist and turn.



Technical Aspects 



Technically, the movie is brilliant, with every department delivering excellent work. Devi Sri Prasad impresses with both songs and background score. Another music director, Sam CS, also captures attention with his background score. Kuba's camera work is a major plus for the movie, grandly capturing every episode. Srikant Vissa's dialogues are engaging. The editing could have been more careful. Mythri Movie Makers' production values are top-notch, with richness visible in every scene.

With Game Changer set to release during Sankranti, Ram Charan has already begun preparations for his next project, RC16, directed by Buchi Babu Sana. The film is expected to hit the sets soon, with a storyline centered around traditional wrestling. Ram Charan is currently undergoing a physical transformation to suit the role, while Buchi Babu has been visiting temples to seek divine blessings before starting the shoot. Recently, Buchi Babu was spotted performing special prayers in a temple in Mysore, drawing comparisons to ISRO scientists for his ritualistic approach.



Just Like ISRO Scientists...



The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has carried out numerous successful experiments, but it is a tradition for ISRO chairpersons and scientists to seek blessings at temples before major launches. They visit Tirumala’s Sri Venkateswara Temple and perform rituals at Chengalamma Temple in Nellore’s Sullurpeta. Similarly, Buchi Babu’s actions remind many of these scientists. He has been visiting temples one after another ahead of the film’s shoot. Recently, Buchi Babu visited a Durga Temple in Kadapa with Ram Charan, placing the RC16 script before the goddess to seek blessings. He was later seen at Mysore’s Chamundeshwari Temple, praying for a smooth production and success. Netizens have started comparing Buchi Babu’s dedication to that of ISRO scientists.

RC16 Shoot Begins



On Friday, November 22, Buchi Babu visited Chamundeshwari Temple in Mysore and shared a photo holding the film’s script in the temple premises. He captioned it, calling it a very special day and stating that the much-awaited moment had arrived. With the blessings of Chamundeshwari Amma, the journey has begun, he added. This post confirmed that the regular shoot for RC16 began on Friday. Reports suggest the team has planned a three-day shoot in Mysore, filming scenes that do not involve the hero. Ram Charan is expected to join the shoot next week.

Jaggu Bhai Joins the Team



The prominent production house Mythri Movie Makers is backing RC16. Veteran actor Jagapathi Babu has officially joined the cast, as confirmed by the makers. They shared a photo welcoming him to the project. This has sparked curiosity about his role in the film. Jagapathi Babu replied to the announcement with a "Thank you, Commando" message. Reports suggest he will play a character with negative shades, which aligns with hints in the recently released poster. Fans are excited, as Ram Charan and Jagapathi Babu previously delivered the blockbuster Rangasthalam, where they also played rival characters.

The Story of RC16



Buchi Babu Sana is said to be crafting RC16 around a unique concept with a village backdrop and traditional wrestling as the theme. The film is rumored to be inspired by the life of Andhra Pradesh’s legendary wrestler Kodi Rammurthy Naidu. Ram Charan is undergoing a physical transformation to suit the role, building a robust physique. Recently, he shared a photo with fans captioned "Beast Mode On," hinting at his preparations. Compared to his Game Changer look, Charan now sports a bulked-up physique, long hair, and a beard. Janhvi Kapoor is cast opposite Charan, with music composed by A.R. Rahman. Kannada actor Shiva Rajkumar is also expected to play a key role in the film.

RC16: Ram Charan’s Wrestling Saga Begins with Divine Blessings and Star Cast Additions!


Cast: Suriya, Disha Patani, Bobby Deol, Jagapathi Babu, Yogi Babu, Prakash Raj, K.S. Ravikumar, Harish Uthaman, Kovai Sarala, Anandaraj, among others.



Director: Shiva



Music: Devi Sri Prasad



Cinematography: Vetri Palaniswamy



Editing: Nishaad Yusuf



Producers: K.E. Gnanavel, Vamshi Pramod



Release Date: 14-11-2024



The Tamil actor Suriya stars in the most anticipated film 'Kanguva,' directed by Shiva. This film, also featuring Bollywood actress Disha Patani and Bobby Deol, is produced by K.E. Gnanavel Raja and Vamshi Pramod with a massive budget of ₹350 crores. Released across India on November 14th, the film aims for box office collections of ₹1000 crores. Let's find out how the film fares and whether it has lived up to the audience's expectations and added another success to Suriya’s account.







Plot



Francis (Suriya) works as a bounty hunter in Goa, with his girlfriend Disha Patani and friend Yogi Babu assisting him. One day, a child approaches Francis feeling a mysterious connection to him, which he senses might be from a past life. What is this ancient connection with the child that dates back a thousand years? Who really is Kanguva? What battles did he fight as a fierce leader? What threats did his tribe face from the villain (Bobby Deol)? How did Kanguva save his tribe from the villain? To uncover these mysteries, one must watch the movie.







Performance Analysis



Tamil superstar Suriya has delivered a stellar performance in this film, impressing in both the roles of Francis and Kanguva. The effort he has put into the role of Kanguva is evident on screen, especially during the battle scenes, showcasing his formidable presence. His body language, dialogue delivery, and expression of emotions are all on point. Bobby Deol as the villain has delivered a powerful performance, matching Suriya's intensity. Disha Patani brings glamour to the film, and her chemistry with Francis’s character works well. Comedian Yogi Babu provides comic relief. Jagapathi Babu, Prakash Raj, K.S. Ravikumar, and Harish Uthaman have significant roles and contribute well within their capacities.







Direction



Director Shiva has crafted 'Kanguva' with a novel storyline. The film starts slowly as it introduces Francis's character and takes time to develop. A small girl enters Francis's life, linking back to a past life, which interestingly steers the plot. From Kanguva’s entry, the true narrative begins. The director has engagingly depicted tribal life and conflicts from a thousand years ago. The twist at the interval raises expectations for the second half, which is filled with twists and action sequences that make the story even more gripping. The climax is sure to give everyone goosebumps. However, the slow-paced narrative and underdeveloped emotions, along with a somewhat weak villain character, might be seen as drawbacks.



Technically...



On the technical front, all departments have performed well, especially the VFX team, which has provided excellent output for the film. The cinematography is impressive. The music by Devi Sri Prasad is a major asset to the film, with both songs and background score enhancing the cinematic experience. The production values are high, and every scene is richly crafted.

Kanguva Movie Review:  Suriya's Epic Tale of Reincarnation, Revenge, and Ancient Battles – A Visual Spectacle


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.

Explore the Top 20 Mesmerizing Waterfalls in Andhra Pradesh: Nature's Hidden Gems!


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.
