Allu Arjun returns as the lead in the pan-Indian film directed by Sukumar, titled 'Pushpa 2: The Rule,' which is the sequel to the blockbuster 'Pushpa: The Rise.' The item song from the previous film was a massive hit, mesmerizing audiences across India with Samantha’s performance in 'Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava,' and now, there's a high expectation for the upcoming sequel's item number. However, who will star in the next item song remains a mystery.



Initially, Tripti Dimri was considered for the item song in 'Pushpa 2,' but reports suggest that the film crew has decided against it after being dissatisfied with the rehearsal outcomes. Now, there's talk of considering two younger actresses from Tollywood and Bollywood to fill the spot.



'Pushpa' generated immense buzz nationally, with its pre-release business surpassing ₹1000 crores. The makers are carefully managing every aspect to ensure that 'Pushpa 2' surpasses the feel and success of Part 1. Notably, the songs from the first part were huge hits, particularly the item song 'Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava' performed by Samantha and Bunny, which the director Sukumar plans to top in this sequel.



Item Song featuring Sreeleela



There's a buzz that Sreeleela has been approached to dance alongside Bunny in the item song for 'Pushpa 2.' Sreeleela's popularity among the youth skyrocketed after her item song with superstar Mahesh Babu in 'Guntur Kaaram.' Her energetic performance in the 'Aa Kurchi Madatapetti' song from the movie was widely appreciated for its dance and glamour, prompting filmmakers to make serious efforts to include her in 'Pushpa 2,' with both Sukumar and Bunny reportedly green-lighting her participation.







Romance with Shraddha Kapoor



Another name being considered for the item song is Bollywood’s beauty star Shraddha Kapoor, whose recent movie 'Stree-2' was a big hit. Given her appeal, including her in the song might enhance the nationwide buzz around 'Pushpa.' Talks have already taken place with her, and if she agrees, it could elevate the film's pan-Indian appeal. A formal announcement regarding the participating actress is expected soon, as the item song shoot is scheduled for November.







Bunny paired with two heroines



Rashmika Mandanna is known to be the leading lady in 'Pushpa 2,' but there’s news that she might also join the item song. Even though Rashmika was part of the first part, she did not appear in the item song which was exclusively led by Bunny and Samantha. With the inclusion of two heroines in the sequel’s item number, expectations among movie lovers are soaring to see how Bunny will perform alongside them.







November: The month of Pushpa mania



Allu Arjun has declared November as the month of 'Pushpa.' With just a month left until the movie's release, promotions are kicking off. A nationwide tour is hinted, with full-scale promotions across all languages set to begin by mid-November. The entire movie crew is expected to participate in these promotions.







Final phase of 'Pushpa 2' shooting



The shooting for 'Pushpa 2' is nearly complete, except for the item song. The climax scene involving Allu Arjun and villain Fahadh Faasil was recently filmed at Ramoji Film City. The climax will be crucial, much like in the first part, and will also link to the potential third part of the series.

Half Saree Function Gift Ideas: Top 10 Gifts to Impress


Cast: Sree Vishnu, Ritu Sharma, Daksha Nagarkar, Meera Jasmine, Sunil, Getup Srinu, Ravi Babu, Gopiraju Raman, Sharanya Pradeep, and others



Written and Directed by: Hasith Goli



Music by: Vivek Sagar



Cinematography: Vedaraman Shankaran



Editing by: Viplav



Producer: T.G. Viswaprasad



Release Date: October 4, 2024



After the super hit 'Raja Raja Chora', Sree Vishnu stars in the latest film 'Swag', directed by Hasith Goli. Featuring Ritu Varma, Meera Jasmine, and Daksha Nagarkar as the female leads, the already released trailers, teasers, and promotional images have heightened expectations. Released to audiences on October 4, did this film manage to impress? Did the Sree Vishnu-Hasith Goli combo deliver another hit? Let’s find out in this review.







Plot



The story of 'Swag' revolves around a lineage during the 1550s, a time marked by struggles for dominance between men and women. Bhavabhuti Maharaj (Sree Vishnu) devises a plan to confine his queen (Ritu Varma) and succeeds, subsequently bringing all the women in the kingdom under his control. As time progresses, Bhavabhuti's lineage continues with only daughters until twin boys are born. Bhavabhuti decides to gift one of his sons to his friend (Sunil), who has no sons. The lineage becomes dispersed over time. Cut to the present, the fortune belonging to the Swaganika lineage is securely kept, waiting to be passed to the rightful heir. Several claimants arrive, declaring themselves the descendants. Who are they really? Does the fortune find its rightful owner? To know more, one must watch the movie.







Performances



Young actor Sree Vishnu dazzles with his performance, portraying five roles including Bhavabhuti Maharaj, Yabhuti, Bhavabhuti, Vibhuti, and Singa. He connects emotionally with the audience as Yabhuti and entertains as Bhavabhuti. Ritu Varma impresses with her performance. Meera Jasmine, making her re-entry into Telugu cinema after 11 years, adequately delivers her role. Daksha Nagarkar marks her presence with her glamour, though her role lacks depth. Despite the presence of seasoned actors like Ravi Babu and Sunil, their roles do not stand out as the film primarily revolves around Sree Vishnu. The rest of the cast performed adequately.







Direction



Director Hasith Goli chose an interesting point for the film but the execution appears quite chaotic. The first half of the film leaves the audience puzzled for about 40 minutes until the comedy provides some relief. The director interestingly showcases Bhavabhuti's flashback and leads into the story well. The interval block may seem a bit messy but is passable. The first half overall can be described as average. Coming to the second half, the way Yabhuti's flashback is designed impresses the audience. Some double-meaning dialogues manage to evoke laughter. However, the climax again ends in confusion. The director concludes the film with a line indicating that gender discrimination is a blight on society, but the film feels abruptly ended, leaving a sense of incompleteness. The screenplay is quite confusing and demands full attention to grasp the storyline.







Technically



On the technical front, Vivek Sagar’s music and background score are highlights, adding value to the film. The cinematography is also commendable. Editing is decent, and the production values are high, offering a rich output despite a modest budget.







Plus Points



- Story



- Sree Vishnu’s acting



- Comedy



Minus Points



- Confusing screenplay



- Slow narration



Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 2.5/5

With her enchanting gaze, she looks even more mischievous, mesmerizing everyone. Her hot poses are a visual treat.







Seeing her voluptuous body, the youth are in a frenzy, commenting online about her overwhelming allure.







With her breathtaking beauty, she is keeping the young fans hooked.







As for Ketika Sharma's personal details, she was born on December 24, 1995, in Delhi where she also completed her education.







After finishing her studies, she immediately turned to modeling and became quite popular on social media with her Dubsmash videos.







This caught the eye of star director Puri Jagannadh, and she made her debut as a heroine in the film 'Romantic' (2021), starring alongside Puri's son Aakash.







Although the film didn't succeed greatly, the Telugu audience was captivated by her charm.







Following that, she had the opportunity to work in 'Lakshya' starring Naga Shaurya, but unfortunately, this film also didn't bring her success.







She then acted in 'Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga' with mega hero Panja Vaisshnav Tej, but this too failed to meet her expectations despite high hopes.







Last year, she appeared in 'Bro', a film featuring Pawan and Sai Dharam Tej, which was successful, making her hopeful for her future.







However, since 'Bro', Ketika hasn’t secured any film roles and has been waiting for a movie offer for the past year.







Recently, Ketika responded to the lack of opportunities and series of flops, stating that all one can do is try their best and it's up to the people to give the outcome.







In an effort to attract more cinema offers, she is increasing her glamour quotient.







She continues to share hot photos on social media periodically, attempting to draw the attention of directors and producers.







Currently, Ketika Sharma's Instagram account is followed by 3.3 million people, and her photos trend within moments of being posted.

Anasuya first became known through the Jabardasth Show, charming young viewers with her petite dresses.







From 2012 to 2022, Anasuya continued as a popular television anchor, not only maintaining her role but also gaining fame as a glamour icon.







Before becoming an anchor, Anasuya Bharadwaj worked as a newsreader on a major news channel, driven by her passion for acting.











In Telugu cinema, she has acted in films like 'Soggade Chinni Nayana', 'Kshanam', 'Winner', and 'Gayatri', earning high praise especially for her antagonist role in 'Kshanam'.







Her career took a significant turn with the film 'Rangasthalam', where she played the memorable role of Rangammatta. Her performance drew considerable attention from the industry.







Following 'Rangasthalam', Anasuya received a series of film offers including roles in 'Meeku Maathrame Cheptha', 'Kathanam', 'F2', 'Chaavu Kaburu Challaga', 'Thank You Brother', 'Khiladi', and 'Wanted Pandugod'.

Subsequently, she starred in 'Vimanam', adopting a Telangana dialect for her role and receiving critical acclaim.







Recently, Anasuya shined in the Telangana-themed film 'Razaakar', where her aggressive portrayal of Pochamma was particularly striking.







Currently, Anasuya is working on 'Pushpa 2', reprising her role as Dakshayani from 'Pushpa', setting high hopes for her performance in this sequel.

Particularly, her appearance in Bigg Boss Hindi Season 13 turned out to be a career-defining moment, bringing her immense popularity.







In Bollywood, she is more popularly known as 'Bigg Boss Mahira', which significantly boosted her fame.







This recognition led to multiple opportunities in Punjabi films, where she acted in movies like 'Lamborghini' and 'Raduaa Returns'.







Following that, she entered Bollywood with the film 'Ransomware' and also appeared in 'Firothi Baaj'.







Mahira has gained more popularity through music albums than her films or serials.

This Week’s OTT &amp; Telugu Movie Releases (3rd &amp; 4th Oct)


Cast: Raj Tarun, Manisha Kandkur, Abhirami, Ammu Abhirami, Hyper Aadi, Goparaju Ramana, Srikanth Iyengar, Krishna Bhagavan, VTV Ganesh, Singeetam Srinivasa, Leela Samson, Rachcha Ravi, and others.



Director: J. Sivasai Vardhan



Music: Shekhar Chandra



Cinematography: Nagesh Banell



Producer: N.V. Kiran Kumar



Presented by: Maruthi



Release Date: 13-09-2024



Raj Tarun stars in the recently released film 'Bhale Unnade!' with Manisha Kandkur as the heroine, directed by J. Sivasai Vardhan. Produced by N.V. Kiran Kumar under the Ravi Kiran Arts banner and presented by Maruthi's team, the film's trailer and teaser have already garnered interest. This is Raj Tarun's third film released within a month. After the previous two films failed to impress, Raj Tarun has high hopes for 'Bhale Unnade!' How does the film fare? Did it bring success to Raj Tarun? Let's find out in this review.







Plot



Radha (Raj Tarun) works as a saree draper in Visakhapatnam. Raised by his mother Gauri (Abhirami) after his father's early death, he helps her out. Krishna (Manisha), a new employee at the bank where Gauri works, becomes close to Gauri. Krishna enjoys the lunch boxes Radha prepares for his mother and falls in love with Radha's cooking without even seeing his face. Similarly, Radha falls for Krishna through the letters she sends with the lunch box without meeting her. As they prepare for marriage with their elders' consent, Krishna's friend reveals something shocking at the engagement. This raises doubts about Radha's suitability. What happens next? What test does Krishna set for Radha? Why does Radha keep a distance from women? Did their wedding take place?







Performance



Raj Tarun, as Radha, is captivating throughout the film. His acting has more scope compared to his previous films, and his emotional expressions are compelling. Manisha looks beautiful as Krishna, and their chemistry is well-portrayed. Abhirami, as the mother, captures the audience's attention. Even though Singeetam Srinivasa appears only in a few scenes, he leaves a strong impact. Ammu Abhirami, Goparaju Ramana, and Srikanth Iyengar play their parts within their limits. Hyper Aadi and Nellore Sudarshan provide occasional comic relief. The rest of the cast performed adequately within their roles.







Direction



Director J. Sivasai Vardhan crafted this film with a concept of how modern society and women perceive a man aspiring to be like Lord Rama. The first half flows pleasantly with the love track between the hero and heroine and the bond between mother and son, anchored around the lunch box as a medium of their love letters. The twist at the engagement concludes the first half. The second half takes Radha on a background of why he distances himself from women, although it drags compared to the first half. The tests imposed on the hero in a Kerala ashram and the antics of Srikanth Iyengar do not pan out well. The way Radha and Krishna break up also lacks novelty. The climax is another weak point of the film.







Technically



Technically, the cinematographer does a great job with vibrant and fresh visuals. Shekhar Chandra’s music does not leave a lasting impression. The background score is passable, and the editing is fine. The production values are high.







Plus Points



- Raj Tarun's acting



- Story background



- First half



Minus Points



- Lack of commercial elements



- Second half

Raj Tarun's Bhale Unnade Movie Review:  A Beautiful First Half Fades Into Predictability


The Telugu film industry consistently leads in setting new trends. A resurgent trend in Tollywood features films with one hero and two heroines. While this concept is not new, as many Telugu films have previously followed this pattern, its popularity waned over time. However, after a significant hiatus, this trend is making a comeback, with several upcoming movies adopting this format. What are these films, and who are the heroines involved? We will delve into these details in this special report.



Gayathri Bharadwaj - Prisha Rajesh Singh



Allu Sirish stars in the upcoming film 'Buddy,' directed by Sham Anton. Scheduled for release on August 2, the film features two heroines: Gayathri Bharadwaj and Prisha Rajesh Singh. Both actresses have caught the audience's attention in the promotional materials for 'Buddy.' The film is produced under the banner of Studio Green Films by KE Gnanavel Raja and Adhana Gnanavel Raja.







Malvika Malhotra - Mannara Chopra



Raj Tarun stars in the latest film 'Thiragabadara Saami,' directed by A.S. Ravi Kumar. In this film, two heroines share the screen: main heroine Malvi Malhotra and Mannara Chopra, who appears in a special song. Meanwhile, Raj Tarun and Malvi Malhotra have been in the news recently. Raj Tarun's girlfriend, Lavanya, has filed a complaint alleging that he deceived her and has been romantically involved with Malvi Malhotra. Amid these controversies, there is heightened interest in 'Thiragabadara Saami.'







Thanvi Akanksha - Seerat Kapoor



The latest film 'Usha Parinayam,' directed by veteran director Vijay Bhaskar and starring his son Sree Kamal, is set to hit theaters on August 2. The film features two heroines: newcomer Thanvi Akanksha and established actress Seerat Kapoor, who will appear in a special song. Thanvi Akanksha makes her film debut, while Seerat Kapoor has been known for her roles in films like 'Run Raja Run,' 'Tiger,' 'Columbus,' 'Okka Kshanam,' and 'Touch Chesi Chudu.'







Meenakshi Chaudhary - Shraddha Srinath



Vishwak Sen stars in 'Mechanic Rocky,' directed by Raviteja Mullapudi and produced by Ram Talluri. The film, set against a love triangle concept, features Meenakshi Chaudhary and Shraddha Srinath as the female leads. Scheduled for release on October 31, 'Mechanic Rocky' has sparked curiosity among viewers. Meenakshi Chaudhary is already well-known from films like 'Ichata Vahanamulu Niluparadu,' 'Khiladi,' 'HIT 2: The Second Case,' and 'Guntur Kaaram.' Shraddha Srinath has also captured the Telugu audience's heart with her performances in 'Jersey' and 'Saindhav.'







Tamannaah - Raashi Khanna



The fourth installment in the 'Aranmanai' series, 'Baak,' was recently released in Telugu, directed by Sundar C. It stars Tamannaah Bhatia and Raashii Khanna, who together featured prominently in a song that became quite popular among fans. Despite being a horror film, 'Baak' failed to make a significant impact at the box office.







Tamannaah - Keerthy Suresh



Megastar Chiranjeevi's last film, 'Bhola Shankar,' also featured two heroines and was directed by Meher Ramesh. Tamannaah Bhatia and Keerthy Suresh played the lead roles, with Tamannaah as Chiru's love interest and Keerthy Suresh as his sister. Released on August 11 last year, the film failed to captivate the audience.






One Hero Two Heroines: Old Trend in Tollywood is coming Back?

Telugu Top Item Songs Lyrics List: The Item Songs That Took Tollywood by Storm.


Young beauty Bhagyashri Borse's name has recently been echoing in Tollywood. Despite her first Telugu film Mr. Bachchan failing at the box office, her performance received praise. Recently, she joined a pan-India project with Dulquer Salmaan, proving that her popularity remains intact. Now, she has bagged another big offer, leaving everyone surprised. Film circles are buzzing about her gradual rise in Tollywood, potentially reaching the top heroine status.



As the Heroine Opposite Ram



Energetic star Ram Pothineni will star in a film being planned by the prominent production house Mythri Movie Makers. This movie, with the working title RAPO22, will be directed by Mahesh of Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty fame. The production house has announced that Bhagyashri Borse has been selected as the female lead for the film. A special poster was released, with the team stating that "the recent sensation Bhagyashri joining the project adds more charm to it." More details about the film are expected to be revealed on Thursday, November 21. The production house has also announced that the shooting will begin with a pooja ceremony on the same day.

Ram's Hopes on 'RAPO22'



RAPO22 marks Ram's 22nd film. Following the pooja ceremony on Thursday, November 21, regular shooting will begin shortly. The movie is said to be a high-energy, new-age story. Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Shankar are producing the film under Mythri Movie Makers. Ram has pinned a lot of hopes on this project, as he has not delivered a solid hit in a while. His previous films, Red, The Warrior, Skanda, and Double iSmart, were disappointments at the box office. With RAPO22, the energetic star aims to deliver a hit that will delight his fans. On the other hand, after the failure of Mr. Bachchan, this film's success is crucial for Bhagyashri Borse as well.

Unshaken Popularity Despite a Flop



Bhagyashri Borse's name trended significantly during the release of Mr. Bachchan. Ever since her selection as the lead actress, she has been grabbing attention on social media. When the first song from the movie was announced, her visuals left fans mesmerized. However, with the unexpected failure of Mr. Bachchan, all expectations took a hit. Facing such a drastic failure with her debut film, she slowed down her social media presence. Recently, she proved her popularity hadn't waned by being selected as the heroine in Kaantha. While working on that film, she surprised everyone by bagging another exciting opportunity alongside Ram.
