HBD Priyanka Jawalkar: Turns 31, Glimpse into the Life of Tollywood's Rising Star and Social Media Sensation!
Priyanka Jawalkar, one of Tollywood's young heroines, caught everyone's attention with her beauty in her second film, 'Taxiwaala,' which was a solid hit. She has worked with stars like Satyadev and Kiran Abbavaram, though not all projects turned out successful. Recently, she made a special appearance in the film 'Tillu Square' that drew considerable attention. Today (November 12) marks Priyanka Jawalkar's birthday as she steps into her 31st year. On this occasion, let's delve into some interesting aspects of her life.
Contrary to what some might think looking at her, Priyanka is a pure Telugu girl.
She was born in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, on November 12, 1992, and studied fashion technology in Hyderabad.
Afterward, she went to America to pursue an 8-month course in Statistics and then worked for six months in a multinational company.
During this period, she started uploading her photos on social media, which caught the attention of the team from 'Kala Varam Aaye,' offering her a role as a heroine.
Though that movie did not succeed, her beauty and acting skills won over the Telugu audience.
This led to her opportunity in 'Taxiwaala' alongside Vijay Deverakonda, which became a solid hit and made her a well-known figure.
After the success of 'Taxiwaala,' it seemed she had a bright future, but surprisingly, it took three years for her next film to be released.
In an interview, Priyanka Jawalkar revealed she waited for the right stories, rejecting 25 stories in the process.
She then acted in 'Thimmarusu' with Satyadev and 'S.R. Kalyanamandapam' with Kiran Abbavaram, both of which also received positive responses.
Her performance was particularly appreciated in 'Thimmarusu,' where her appearance led to some harsh trolling regarding her body shape.
However, Priyanka clarified in an interview that she doesn't pay attention to trolls or gossips but shares them with her friends and enjoys the humor in them.
She also starred in the anthology film 'Gamanam,' where she played a captivating role as a Muslim girl named Zara.
This year, she made a special cameo appearance in 'Tillu Square' starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda, making a striking impression in a pub scene.
Priyanka mentioned in an interview that she has a crush on iconic star Allu Arjun and was particularly drawn to his film 'Pushpa.'
Aishwarya Rai is her favorite actress, and Priyanka is fluent in Telugu, Hindi, and English.
Her favorite colors are red and black, and she particularly enjoys New Year celebrations.
Regarding movies, Priyanka watches films in any language and mentioned her fondness for the Malayalam film 'The Great Indian Kitchen.'
Currently, with no projects in hand, Priyanka is focusing on social media, sharing hot photos to attract the attention of directors and producers.
Currently, Priyanka's Instagram account is followed by 2.1 million people, and any photo she shares quickly trends.

Devaki Nandana Vasudeva Movie Review: Ashok Galla Shines in a Mythology-Inspired Tale That Misses the Mark!
Cast: Ashok Galla, Manasa Varanasi, Devadatta Nage, and othersDirector: Arjun JandyalaStory: Prasanth VarmaDialogues: Burra Sai MadhavCinematography: Prasad Murella, RasoolEditing: ThimmarajuRelease Date: November 22, 2024
Ashok Galla, the son of prominent businessman Galla Jayadev and nephew of Mahesh Babu, stars in his latest film, Devaki Nandana Vasudeva. Prasanth Varma, known for Hanuman, penned the story, while Arjun Jandyala directed the movie. The team promised a blend of spirituality, commercial appeal, and thrilling elements. Released on November 22, did the movie captivate the audience? Did Prasanth Varma's trademark shine through? Let’s delve into the details.
The Plot
Kamsaraju (Devadatta Nage) is a tyrant. During a visit to Kashi, he encounters an Aghora who predicts that his death will come at the hands of his sister’s third child. Terrified, Kamsaraju attacks his pregnant sister (Devayani), leading to the death of her husband. He is sentenced to 21 years in prison. Meanwhile, his sister gives birth to a girl, Sathya (Manasa Varanasi). As she grows up, Krishna (Ashok Galla) falls in love with her. Upon Kamsaraju’s release from jail, what happens to Sathya? What secret has Kamsaraju’s sister been hiding from him? How does Krishna protect his love? The answers lie in the movie.
The Performances
Ashok Galla clearly worked hard for his role as Krishna, and his efforts are evident on screen. Compared to his previous film, Ashok has improved in both acting and body language. His performance in key emotional scenes is commendable. Manasa Varanasi impresses as the heroine, and her chemistry with Ashok works well. However, she falters in conveying deeper emotions in certain scenes. Devadatta Nage delivers a solid performance as the antagonist, while Devayani does justice to her role as Kamsaraju’s sister. Jhansi shines as the hero’s mother, while supporting actors like Sanjay Swaroop, Shatru, Sridhar Reddy, and Getup Srinu play their parts adequately.
The Direction
Despite a premise with potential, Prasanth Varma’s story lacks depth. While mythology is woven into the narrative, it feels disjointed and fails to sync with the storyline. Director Arjun Jandyala missed the opportunity to create magic in the screenplay, which falls flat and lacks intrigue. Certain scenes promote superstitions rather than adding value to the narrative. The love track between the lead pair feels underwhelming, and the action sequences between Krishna and Kamsaraju fail to make an impact. Some scenes intended to elevate Krishna’s character come across as overly dramatic. Overall, the direction leaves the audience bored at several points.
Technical Aspects
On the technical front, Bhims Ceciroleo’s music is a major asset. His background score elevates the action sequences significantly. Prasad Murella’s cinematography is impressive, capturing the essence of the scenes well. Editor Thimmaraju’s work is satisfactory. The production values are high, and there’s no compromise in terms of budget, making the film visually appealing.
