      Simbaa Movie Review: Supernatural Thrills Meet Crime Drama in 'Simbaa'
      Simbaa Movie Review: Supernatural Thrills Meet Crime Drama in 'Simbaa'
      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 Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 2.5/5

      SSMB 29: Mahesh Babu Fans angry with Rajamouli
      SSMB 29: Mahesh Babu Fans angry with Rajamouli
      Superstar Mahesh Babu and renowned director SS Rajamouli are teaming up for a highly anticipated big-budget film. Mahesh Babu has even changed his look in preparation, and both he and his fans are keenly awaiting details about when the international-scale production will start. Currently, 'SSMB29' is in the midst of active pre-production. However, recent developments have led to a surge of dissatisfaction among Mahesh Babu's fans towards director Rajamouli. Let's delve into the specifics of this update that has fans so upset. Here's Why the Fans Are Angry! Fans have been eagerly anticipating the 'SSMB29' project, a collaboration between Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli. Despite the pre-production work having been underway for a long time, no official announcement has come from the team yet. Fans had been hoping for an announcement on August 9th, Mahesh Babu’s birthday, but recent buzz suggests that there won't be any announcement regarding the film on that day. This news going viral online has infuriated Mahesh Babu's fans, who are questioning Rajamouli's decisions. However, some fans still believe that Rajamouli will definitely give a birthday treat. Heading to Sets in September! The pre-production work for 'SSMB29' is nearly complete. Director Rajamouli plans to start filming in September after wrapping up the remaining preparations. Recent buzz online has also speculated that Mahesh Babu will play dual roles in the film, including one with negative shades. Mahesh Babu has never played a dual role or a character with negative shades in any of his previous 28 films, which makes this update particularly exciting for fans. The veracity of this information needs confirmation from Rajamouli's team. The Film Will Be a Trilogy! Another exciting rumor about the 'SSMB 29' project is causing a stir online: the film will be released in three parts. It’s said that Rajamouli has proposed to the makers to develop the movie in three parts, considering the extensive scope for graphics and the depth of the story requiring at least three parts to be fully told.  Rajamouli spent five years completing the two-part 'Baahubali' saga. Now, there's speculation on how many years it will take to complete three parts for Mahesh Babu’s film. Nassar Joins the Movie Team! Recently, interesting news has also trended online that renowned actor Nassar is involved in the movie. He has been participating in workshops along with other actors, offering valuable suggestions and advice to Mahesh Babu, particularly in delivering dialogues. Nassar, a seasoned theater artist known for his roles in Telugu and Tamil films, has previously helped in Rajamouli’s 'Baahubali' and 'RRR' to teach actors how to deliver dialogues appropriate to various regional accents. His iconic performance as Bijjaladeva in 'Baahubali' has left a lasting impression. https://twitter.com/Fukkard/status/1810503350913585650

      Vijay's 'The Goat' Makes a Strong Impact with First-Day Collections Despite Mixed Reviews
      Vijay's 'The Goat' Makes a Strong Impact with First-Day Collections Despite Mixed Reviews
      Tamil superstar Vijay stars in the latest action thriller 'The Goat' (The Greatest Of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. Meenakshi Chaudhary plays the leading lady, while Sneha, Laila, Prashanth, and Prabhu Deva have significant roles. This film, developed with de-aging technology, has garnered high expectations as it is rumored to be Vijay's final movie before his political entry. It was released worldwide on Thursday (September 5) and received mixed reactions in the Telugu states, but it was a hit among Vijay's fans in Tamil Nadu. Let’s see how the movie performed on its first day. Day 1 Collections Matching the high expectations, 'The Goat' (The Greatest Of All Time) raked in impressive collections on its first day. In India alone, the film is estimated to have grossed over ₹55 crores, with a net collection of ₹43 crores. Tamil Nadu alone contributed a gross of ₹38.3 crores. The Telugu states accounted for ₹3 crores and Hindi markets brought in ₹1.7 crores in gross collections. The worldwide gross is expected to surpass ₹80 crores on the first day. However, according to trade estimates, 'The Goat' could not surpass the record set by Vijay’s previous film 'Leo', which collected ₹148.5 crores on its first day. What's 'The Goat' Like? Director Venkat Prabhu’s story does not present much novelty. Movies featuring a hero working in defense sectors and villains raising the hero’s son only to use him against the hero have been seen before. However, the scenes depicting the son’s revenge feel intriguing. The first half mainly introduces the hero and other characters, progressing predictably until the pre-interval. The interval scene raises interest for the second half, which largely unfolds as expected, but the climax is crafted to captivate. The twists in the second half are sure to surprise the audience. The Tamil essence in comedy and dialogues might not appeal much to the Telugu audience, but Vijay's fans will likely find the film immensely engaging. The Plot Gandhi (Vijay), a special anti-terrorism squad officer, conducts various successful missions with his teammates Sunil (Prashant), Ajay (Ajmal), and Kalyan Sundaram (Prabhu Deva). However, he keeps his job a secret from his wife Anu (Sneha). During one mission abroad, his five-year-old son dies. Believing her husband to be responsible, Anu distances herself from Gandhi. Distraught, Gandhi leaves the force. Years later, on a trip to Moscow, he encounters his son Jeevan (Vijay), whom he thought was dead, alive. Overjoyed, he brings him back to India. From then on, Gandhi’s acquaintances start dying one by one. Who is responsible for these deaths? How did his presumed-dead son come back? How does Gandhi stop the killings? These questions form the crux of the story. https://telugu.yousay.tv/en/vijays-the-goat-a-predictable-action-drama-with-strong-performances-and-high-expectations.html

'Raayan' is definitely a must-watch movie. My best wishes to the team." Actor Sundeep Kishan responded to Mahesh's post, thanking the superstar. https://twitter.com/urstrulyMahesh/status/1817979697126588552 Praise for 'Zero Ego' The Tamil audience is delighted that Mahesh Babu has appreciated a Tamil movie, noting it as a happy moment that an actor from another industry has recognized their cinema. Despite many stars in Kollywood, they pointed out that none had spoken about the movie as Mahesh did. They are expressing joy over Mahesh's ego-free commendation and note that his good nature is apparent through this post. There's also talk among fans that a movie featuring both Mahesh and Dhanush would break records. Tamil actress Aparna Balamurali also thanked Mahesh for his post. New Movie Review is a Must! This isn't the first time Mahesh has reviewed a movie. He has been actively sharing his thoughts on new films he enjoys on social media for some time. He expressed similar sentiments about Prabhas's 'Kalki 2898 AD.' He praised Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan for their performances and director Nag Ashwin's futuristic vision on X. He has also shared his views on other films like 'Harom Hara,' 'Bhajevayu Vegam,' and 'Premalu' on X. Fans believe that if Mahesh praises a movie, it must be special, and they are posting that any film he reviews must be good. Busy with 'SSMB29' Superstar Mahesh Babu and acclaimed director Rajamouli are collaborating on 'SSMB29.' Rajamouli is currently busy with the pre-production of the film, and Mahesh has completely transformed his look for it, sporting long hair and a beard, resembling a Hollywood hero. According to the latest buzz, the film is soon to go on floors, with the first schedule set to start in Germany. There is also talk that the movie, tentatively titled 'Ajanubahu,' 'Maharaj,' or 'GOLD,' is under consideration. There are expectations of some update related to the movie by Mahesh's birthday on August 9.

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.

      SSMB29: Mahesh's Look is Different! Jakkanna Has Really Pulled Off Something Great!
      SSMB29: Mahesh's Look is Different! Jakkanna Has Really Pulled Off Something Great!
      There's no need to specify just how high the expectations soar when it comes to a film by SS Rajamouli. With superstar Mahesh Babu teaming up with Jakkanna for this film, the entire nation's eyes are fixed on this project. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the day this exciting combo hits the sets. Meanwhile, Mahesh is undergoing a striking makeover for the film. Recently, when Mahesh and his wife met Telangana's CM Revanth Reddy, his look went viral. Pictures of Mahesh sporting long hair and a beard have been going viral on the internet, fueling speculation that this might be his look in SSMB29. However, there seems to be a big twist here. Let's find out what it is. Is Mahesh's Look the Real Deal? Fans are going crazy over Mahesh's latest look, praising him as looking like a Hollywood hero. Comments indicate that this look is finalized for 'SSMB29'. Yet, the latest buzz suggests that this is indeed the look Mahesh will sport in the film. After growing his beard and hair, Rajamouli is planning to bring in a hair stylist from abroad to craft four to five looks for Mahesh, one of which will be finalized. So, Mahesh's fans who thought the current look was final might be in for a surprise. They believe Jakkanna has really pulled a fast one on them. Thus, Mahesh Has Freedom! Rajamouli always pays special attention to the looks of his heroes in films, making sure they don’t leak before the film's release. He sets conditions for his heroes to ensure their looks are not revealed during the shooting. This was followed by Prabhas, Ram Charan, and Tarak during the shoots of 'Baahubali' and 'RRR'. However, Mahesh has been freely posing for cameras at various events, revealing his makeover in one form or another. But this freedom might be because this look isn’t the final one. Once the real look is finalized, there’s a chance Mahesh will be more cautious about not being exposed. Rajamouli’s Master Plan! For the upcoming film 'SSMB29' starring Mahesh Babu, director Rajamouli has decided to proceed with a new strategy. Typically, Rajamouli's movies involve significant VFX work, requiring simultaneous progress with the shooting. To address this, he has planned to shoot VFX-heavy scenes first and has already begun pre-production works. These scenes will be handed over to VFX companies in advance, and Rajamouli will then focus on the remaining shooting. This approach will allow both VFX work and shooting to be completed concurrently, speeding up the film's completion, which is making the fans extremely happy. Answering the Critics SS Rajamouli holds a top spot among India’s most esteemed directors. However, he has been critiqued lately for taking three to four years to release a film. Throughout his 23-year career, he has only released 12 films. His decision regarding VFX work is seen as a strategic move by the film industry. This could potentially allow for the film to be released within a couple of years. Estimates suggest that 'SSMB 29' could hit the screens by the end of 2026, even if it starts rolling next year.

      SS Rajamouli's Next Epic with Mahesh Babu: A Grand Adventure Awaits with 'SSMB29'
      SS Rajamouli's Next Epic with Mahesh Babu: A Grand Adventure Awaits with 'SSMB29'
      After achieving a massive blockbuster with 'RRR', director SS Rajamouli has captured everyone's attention by announcing his next film with superstar Mahesh Babu. The entire film industry is eagerly awaiting the start of this exciting combination. Currently, Rajamouli is busy with the pre-production work of the film. However, it is learned that he will be working differently for 'SSMB29' compared to his previous films. Let’s find out what decision Rajamouli has taken this time. Rajamouli’s Master Plan! For the upcoming 'SSMB29' starring Mahesh Babu, director Rajamouli has decided to proceed with a new strategy. Generally, Rajamouli’s movies have extensive scope for VFX, which means equal importance must be given to shooting and graphics work. To address this, the director has devised a master plan. He plans to shoot the VFX-related scenes in advance. Accordingly, pre-production work is underway to ensure these scenes are ready to be handed over to the VFX teams early. This strategy allows for simultaneous completion of VFX work and shooting, potentially speeding up the entire filmmaking process and thrilling the fans. Addressing the Criticisms SS Rajamouli, one of the most esteemed directors in the country, has faced recent criticism for the lengthy durations it takes to release his films, often three to four years. To counter this, it's known that Rajamouli has made strategic decisions regarding VFX work. With such planning, it is expected that the film could be released within one or two years. It is anticipated that 'SSMB 29', even if it starts filming next year, could be released by the end of 2026. Following the Paths of 'RRR' and 'Baahubali' Like his period dramas 'Baahubali' and 'RRR', Rajamouli is reportedly preparing a similar epic narrative for Mahesh Babu. There is strong buzz that this movie will be set in the 18th century and is an ambitious attempt to recreate a story from 225 years ago. Rajamouli plans to authentically portray the tribal looks of hundreds of years ago for the cast. Producer KL Narayana is expected to fund this grand venture with a budget of Rs. 1000 crores, and Hollywood technicians are being hired to meet the production's high standards. Inspiration for the Story The Mahesh Babu-Rajamouli film is rumored to be an adventure thriller set against an African backdrop. In a recent interview, Rajamouli's father and renowned writer Vijayendra Prasad mentioned that they both are huge fans of South African novelist Wilbur Smith, which inspired him to base the screenplay on Smith's books. However, he assures that the screenplay will bear Rajamouli's signature style. MM Keeravani is set to compose the music for the film.

      The 'Dhoom' series holds a special place among action films in Bollywood. Since its inception in 2004, the series has seen several successful sequels that have been hits at the box office. It is now revealed that 'Dhoom 4' is soon to commence, with preparations already underway by Yash Raj Films. It's heavily rumored online that Kollywood superstar Suriya will star in the film. Is Suriya’s Role Confirmed? The success of 'Dhoom', 'Dhoom 2', and 'Dhoom 3' in Hindi cinema is well-known. Yash Raj Films is gearing up to launch 'Dhoom 4'. Aditya Chopra, who crafted the stories for 'Dhoom 2' and 'Dhoom 3', is working on this movie too. It is understood that Shah Rukh Khan will star as the hero, with plans to cast Suriya as the antagonist. The film team has reportedly already approached Suriya, who has shown interest in the role. Fans of Suriya and movie lovers are eagerly awaiting an official announcement. Suriya as Rolex! In 'Vikram', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Kamal Haasan, which garnered substantial collections nationwide, Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi played the villain, and Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil played a significant role. However, Suriya surprised everyone as a drug dealer in the climax. His appearance as Rolex was notably menacing. This climax scene clearly sets up Suriya's involvement in the villain role for 'Vikram 2'. Previously, Suriya played a villain in the film '24', where he took on two roles, one of which was a negative character. Suriya as Villain to Charan! A buzz has been building about an upcoming multi-starrer featuring global star Ram Charan and Tamil star Suriya. Renowned for directing love stories, Hanu Raghavapudi is set to direct this project. Suriya has already narrated the story and reportedly liked it, but the story still needs to be presented to Ram Charan. If Ram Charan agrees, this high-profile project is expected to commence. Currently, Hanu Raghavapudi has announced a new project with Prabhas, and the Ram-Suriya film is likely to start after this. 'Kanguva' in 12,000 Theaters! Suriya is currently acting in 'Kanguva', which will be his 42nd project. Already, glimpses and posters from this film have been released, receiving positive responses from the audience. The film team announced that it would be a Dussehra gift to the audience, but the makers plan to release 'Kanguva' on November 15 instead. They have decided to release the film worldwide in 10 languages across 12,000 theaters, with an official announcement expected soon.

      Nani and Sekhar Kammula Set for a First-Time Collaboration, Sai Pallavi Likely to Join
      Director Sekhar Kammula, known for crafting classic films in Tollywood, especially youthful love entertainers, has carved a distinct identity for himself. Meanwhile, Natural Star Nani is also popularly seen as a 'lover boy' and is currently riding high after the success of his recent movie 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram'. Amidst this backdrop, there is widespread buzz about an upcoming film under the direction of Sekhar Kammula starring Nani. It's being talked about that Sai Pallavi might join as the heroine for this movie. Super Combo Loading An exciting new combination is set to take shape in Tollywood with Nani and Sekhar Kammula teaming up for a new film, according to social media buzz. Tollywood circles are also abuzz with the prospects of this pairing. The script for this movie is reportedly ready, and Nani is expected to hear the final narration soon. The film is said to be a fresh love entertainer, and Sekhar Kammula is considering casting Sai Pallavi as the heroine, which is expected to be a great addition. If all goes as planned, an official announcement regarding this movie may be expected soon. A Departure from Usual Style Sekhar Kammula typically does not think about other projects while working on one, focusing entirely on the current film. However, he seems to have departed from this approach as he is already preparing stories for future projects while wrapping up current ones. This strategy might reduce the gap between his film releases. It is also noted that while working on these projects, Sekhar Kammula is already preparing the story for Nani's film. Currently, he is busy shooting 'Kubera', a pan-India film starring Tamil actor Dhanush and Telugu cinema stalwart Nagarjuna. A First Time for This Combo Till now, there hasn't been a film that brought Nani and Sekhar Kammula together. Sekhar has expressed his desire to work with Nani on multiple occasions. However, he has worked with Sai Pallavi in two films previously. She was introduced to the industry as a heroine with his film 'Fidaa', and she was also the leading lady in the film 'Love Story' starring Naga Chaitanya. Both these films were blockbuster successes and brought significant recognition to Sai Pallavi as an actress. On the other hand, Sai Pallavi and Nani have already worked together in two films, 'MCA' (Middle Class Abbayi) and 'Shyam Singha Roy', both of which received positive responses. Fans are eagerly anticipating a hat-trick success from their combo. Will it Take a While? After the film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram', Nani is currently gearing up for 'Hit 3' under the direction of Sailesh Kolanu. A glimpse of this film was recently released and captured attention. Additionally, Nani is planning another film with director Sujeeth and another with the director of 'Dasara'. Given these commitments, it might take another two years for this rare combo to be set, and Sekhar Kammula is also busy with the filming of 'Kubera'.

      Prabhas New Projects: Prabhas Keeps His Promise with Three Films Simultaneously on the Sets!
      Prabhas New Projects: Prabhas Keeps His Promise with Three Films Simultaneously on the Sets!
      Pan-India star Prabhas is making rapid strides with a series of films. With back-to-back hits, he stands unmatched in stature among national cinema stars. Having recently hit the ₹1200 crore mark with his project 'Kalki', Prabhas has once again proven his box office prowess. Moreover, he's on a roll announcing consecutive pan-India projects. Following a strategy once employed by superstar Krishna, he's fully focused on his films. Prabhas is set to keep his promise to fans by launching three films at once. Let's explore more about this in this special report. Prabhas' Promise! Prabhas has become synonymous with pan-India films. Every film he takes on escalates to a national project. Until 'Adipurush' (2023), Prabhas would spend at least two years on each film, a pattern that began with 'Baahubali' in 2015. There was a two-year gap between 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2', and a three-year interval between 'Saaho' (2019) and 'Radhe Shyam' (2022), which initially disappointed fans. Frustrations grew over the gaps between his films. Understanding his fans' disappointment, Prabhas promised to release at least one film per year going forward. Keeping his word, he's been vigorously announcing new projects. Superstar Krishna’s Strategy! Prabhas is much more focused on his projects than before, ditching the consecutive project routine to adopt a strategy used by superstar Krishna, who used to work on three or more films simultaneously. Prabhas is now preparing to bring three projects to the sets simultaneously, following in Krishna's footsteps. Indeed, during 'Salaar', he also engaged in shooting 'Kalki 2898 AD', releasing both within a span of six months. Currently, Prabhas is working on 'Raja Saab' directed by Maruthi. He has also recently launched a new project with Hanu Raghavapudi and is planning to start 'Spirit' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga by November. Prabhas is planning to participate in the shootings of these three films simultaneously and release each within a year. Additionally, there's potential to launch 'Salaar 2' and 'Kalki 2' next year. India’s No.1 Hero: Prabhas A recent July report by Bollywood media firm Ormax listed the most popular heroes, with Prabhas securing the number one position. Following Prabhas, Tamil star Vijay and Bollywood's Shah Rukh Khan filled the next top spots, with superstar Mahesh Babu and Junior NTR also featuring prominently. Prabhas has consistently topped these lists since May and June, much to the delight of fans and movie enthusiasts. Comments are flooding the internet celebrating Prabhas' ascension as the number one star, surpassing other Bollywood heroes.
