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

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 Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

Vijay's 'The Goat' Nears ₹300 Crore Mark with Impressive Box Office Performance

Tamil star hero Vijay stars in the latest action thriller "The Goat" (The Greatest Of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. Meenakshi Chaudhary is the heroine, with Sneha, Laila, Prashanth, and Prabhudeva playing key roles. The film, featuring de-aging technology, marks Vijay's last movie before his rumoured entry into politics, which has spiked expectations. However, it was released worldwide on Thursday, September 5. In Telugu-speaking regions, the film received mixed reviews, whereas in Tamil Nadu, it particularly captivated Vijay's fanbase and garnered a hit talk. On its first day, the movie grossed over Rs. 120 crore. Now, let’s see how the weekend collections shaped up. How Much Did The Weekend Collections Amount To? Vijay’s "The Goat" (The Greatest Of All Time) lived up to expectations at the box office, grossing Rs. 282.5 crore worldwide in the first four days, narrowly missing the Rs. 300 crore club. However, it set a record as the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. Dhanush's recent film 'Raayan' crossed lifetime gross earnings of Rs. 154 crore within the first two days and set this feat. Notably, 'The Goat' grossed Rs. 106.40 crore in Tamil Nadu alone. In the two Telugu-speaking states, it collected Rs. 10.10 crore, Rs. 21.1 crore in Karnataka, Rs. 10.4 crore in Kerala, and Rs. 13.9 crore in the rest of India. Overseas, the film fetched around Rs. 120.15 crore according to trade estimates. Currently, the film is surging towards the Rs. 300 crore club. What’s The Film Like? Director Venkat Prabhu’s storyline doesn’t bring anything new to the table. Movies featuring a hero working in defense and the villain raising the hero’s son only to turn him against his father have been quite common. However, the scenes written about the son’s revenge seem interesting. The first half is mostly spent introducing the hero and other characters, with the story unfolding predictably until the pre-interval. The interval scene sets up an intriguing second half. Though the second half also largely unfolds as expected, the director successfully crafted an engaging climax. The twists in the second half will surprise the audience. The film’s comedy and dialogues are deeply infused with Tamil elements, which might not appeal as much to the Telugu audience. However, for Vijay's fans, this film is sure to be a treat. What's the Story? 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.

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Weekend Collections: ‘Saripodhaa Sanivaaram’ is unstoppable even with Heavy Rains.

Nani's latest film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' (Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Weekend Collections) released on Thursday (August 29) has garnered positive buzz. Along with Nani, the villain played by S.J. Suryah has received accolades from the audience. Consequently, the film is creating a storm at the box office. Despite continuous heavy rains across Telugu states over the past three days, Nani's film's momentum has not slowed down. Furthermore, daily theater occupancy has been increasing. In this context, how much did Nani's film collect over the weekend? Let's look at the collections for the first four days. Weekend Collections: How much? The film "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," starring Nani as the hero and Priyanka Arul Mohan as the female lead, is exceeding everyone's expectations and is showering the box office with collections. The makers have officially announced that the film has grossed ₹68.72 crores worldwide in the first four days. They also released a special poster to mark this achievement. According to trade sources, "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" has collected ₹33.50 crores in India and ₹18 crores overseas. The film has reportedly earned ₹29.65 crores in the two Telugu states. Additionally, it has collected ₹4.65 crores in Karnataka, ₹3.23 crores in Tamil Nadu, ₹27 lakhs in Kerala, and ₹1.45 crores in the rest of India. Heading towards the ₹100 crore mark... Given the performance of 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' at the box office, it appears easily poised to reach the ₹100 crore mark. It has already collected nearly ₹60 crores in just four days. Trade circles believe that if not for the cyclonic conditions in Telugu states, the collections could have been even higher. If the rain impact diminishes, 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' has a chance to significantly increase its collections, potentially crossing ₹100 crores effortlessly. Nani's film 'Dasara' was the only one to surpass ₹100 crores in his career so far. Fans are eagerly anticipating this to be his second film to cross that mark. Coming to OTT in a month..! 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' (Saripodhaa Sanivaaram OTT), the film by Nani in collaboration with Vivek Athreya, is set to debut on OTT platforms within a month. Strong buzz suggests it will stream on Netflix starting September 26, available in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. However, there is no clear information yet about the Hindi version. There's also a possibility that the Hindi version might stream on Jio Cinema. Depending on the collections and audience response, changes to the OTT release date might occur. Highlights of the film Vivek Athreya, recognized as a classic director from his films 'Mental Madhilo', 'Brochevarevarura', and 'Ante Sundaraniki', introduces his rural mass style through this film. Differing from his usual style, the film is crafted with breathtaking action scenes and has been receiving accolades. Nani and S.J. Suryah's performances, the action sequences, and the background music by Jakes Bejoy are major highlights. Notably, the Tom and Jerry-style scenes between the hero and the villain have delighted the audience. However, the film's length, lack of twists, missing commercial elements, and a predictable storyline are seen as drawbacks. 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Storyline Surya (Nani), working as an LIC agent, cannot tolerate injustice. He chooses Saturdays to unleash his anger. Meanwhile, the people of Sokulapalem suffer under the tyranny of police officer Daya (S.J. Suryah), who abuses his power to oppress them. Amid dramatic events, the hero decides to stand with the people of Sokulapalem. How does Surya confront the ruthless police officer? What challenges does he face in the process? What prompts him to act specifically on Saturdays? What is his love track with the heroine Priyanka Mohan? Who wins in the showdown between the hero and the villain? This is the story.

Although collections gradually decreased thereafter, the film still managed to turn profitable for the distributors. With no major releases last week, Devara faced no significant competition this weekend, likely easing its path to the ₹500 crore mark. Profits from Sunday By the end of the second Saturday (September 5) shows, Devara had crossed the break-even point in almost all areas. From Sunday onwards, all collections are profits. The Dussehra holidays and the lack of other major releases provide a big advantage for Devara. The film's collections are also stable overseas. According to trade circles, Devara has started making profits in many regions including Kerala, Karnataka, Hindi-speaking areas, and the rest of India. This has brought immense joy to both the Devara team and Tarak's fans. Telugu Films That Crossed ₹500 Crore Several films from Tollywood have already grossed over ₹500 crore. What are these films?

'Devara’ Breaks the 23-Year Rajamouli Sentiment: NTR’s Film Triumphs After RRR

The latest film featuring the Man of the Masses, Tarak, titled 'Devara' has been released grandly today (September 27). Despite some mixed opinions, the film overall is being touted as a hit. The music by Anirudh is reportedly next level. Having shattered several records even before its release, the film is expected to achieve even more milestones, with fans confident about its success. Interestingly, it's said that Tarak has broken a flop record of Rajamouli that has been ongoing for 23 years, declared by none other than Rajamouli's son. Rajamouli’s Flop Sentiment! It’s a well-known fact that a film with director Rajamouli is a blockbuster. However, post a Rajamouli film, no hero until now has managed an immediate hit. Every hero has faced a box office disaster following their film with Rajamouli, a sentiment that started 23 years ago with Rajamouli’s first film 'Student No.1'. Following 'Student No.1' and 'Simhadri', Tarak faced major failures. Similarly, post 'Vikramarkudu' Ravi Teja, post 'Maryada Ramanna' Sunil, and post 'Eega' Nani all faced flops. After 'Baahubali 2', Prabhas, Rana, and Anushka also failed in their subsequent films. Naturally, there were apprehensions about 'Devara' following 'RRR' with Tarak. Breaking the 23-Year Record The flop sentiment with Rajamouli started with Tarak on September 27, 2001, with the release of 'Student No.1'. 23 years later, on the same day, 'Devara' was released and has garnered hit talk, thus ending the flop cycle that started on the same day with the same person 23 years ago. This has sparked a flurry of comments on social media that Tarak has shattered the bad sentiment linked with Rajamouli. Now, fans believe that no hero needs to worry about the Rajamouli flop sentiment anymore. Karthikeya’s Special Post Karthikeya, Rajamouli's son, also tweeted about this, "Finally, the 23-year myth has been broken. It ended on the same day it began with the same person. I grew up watching him closely, seeing his growth and success. Now I see the wonders he's performing. I am speechless at the contribution he’s making to Telugu cinema. This is a big gift he has given to the fans. Devara is the biggest mass celebration in cinema. Now, even the madness speaks. All hail the tiger," along with a photo taken with NTR. https://twitter.com/ssk1122/status/1839476779175567669 Rajamouli Watching Devara with Fans The buzz around 'Devara' is evident across theaters in the Telugu states. After nearly six years, NTR's solo movie has his fans ecstatic. Amid this festive atmosphere, Rajamouli watched the film. Accompanied by his family, he greeted movie enthusiasts at the Maithri Vimal theater in Balanagar and watched the film with them. Videos related to this are going viral online. Producer Dil Raju and director Anil Ravipudi watched the movie at Sriramulu theater. Meanwhile, in a theater in Chennai, music director Anirudh watched the movie with fans and charged up the atmosphere by singing the Fear song. https://twitter.com/ArtistryBuzz/status/1839517947548794958 https://twitter.com/AnirudhTrend/status/1839516079560802450
