Among the stars of Tollywood, Ravi Teja is known as the 'Mass Maharaja'. Having delivered blockbusters such as 'Idiot', 'Bhadra', 'Venky', 'Vikramarkudu', 'Kick', 'Mirapakay', 'Power', 'Bengal Tiger', and 'Raja The Great', Ravi Teja hasn't been seen much in recent years. Although his recent films 'Dhamaka' and 'Eagle' seemed promising, they failed to deliver the level of success expected of Ravi Teja's caliber. His latest, 'Mr. Bachchan', also faced a dismal failure. Given his string of flops, it appears that the Mass Maharaja is taking a daring step by getting ready to remake a successful Malayalam movie.



Ravi Teja in the Remake of 'Aavesham'!



The Malayalam film 'Aavesham', directed by Jeethu Madhavan and featuring Fahadh Faasil in the lead, was an action-comedy that released this year and achieved great success, grossing over ₹150 crores at the box office. There has been talk in Tollywood about remaking this film in Telugu for some time. According to the latest buzz, Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja has acquired the remake rights of this film. Ravi Teja's acquisition of the rights has led to widespread speculation that he will star in the remake himself, to be produced under his own production company. An official announcement may also be coming soon, exciting Ravi Teja's fans.







Choosing Over Balakrishna...



There were rumors that Nandamuri Balakrishna would star in remake 'Aavesham' in Telugu, as Fahadh Faasil's role seemed a good fit for him. Balakrishna's fans even counted the film as one of his future projects. However, unexpectedly, Ravi Teja secured the project instead, charming Balakrishna's fans. Yet, Balakrishna's fans also say that Fahadh Faasil's role suits Ravi Teja well and believe that he will do justice to the various shades of the character. The question of who will direct this intriguing remake is currently generating much interest.







Struggling to Overcome the Flop Streak!



Ravi Teja, who once entertained fans with hit films, is now struggling with a series of flops. Of his last ten films, only one ('Krack') was a hit, and two others ('Dhamaka' and 'Eagle') received average feedback. The remaining seven were outright failures at the box office. The less said about 'Mr. Bachchan', the better, as it drew significant criticism and trolling for Ravi Teja. Critics have pointed out that he is not choosing age-appropriate roles and seems more interested in romantic scenes with much younger actresses. These criticisms have led Ravi Teja to decide that he must achieve a hit somehow and believes that remaking the successful Malayalam movie 'Aavesham' would be a safe bet.







Will 'Aavesham' Be a Good Fit?



'Aavesham' presents a unique story where three college students seek help from a local gangster, Ranga (Fahadh Faasil), to deal with their seniors. As the plot unfolds, Ranga forms a bond with the students, but complications arise due to his character, leading to an intriguing situation. Fahadh Faasil's characterization is a special attraction in this story. Given that the character suits senior actors well, initially, Balakrishna's name came up. Now that Ravi Teja's name has emerged, many wonder how he will fit into this role. There's no doubt that Ravi Teja can handle it, as the role demands a mix of comedy, action, and aggression, all of which he can deliver convincingly.






Ravi Teja: How Did He Win Over Balakrishna's Fans with the 'Aavesham' Remake?

In the latest film Pottel, Ananya Nagalla and Yuva Chandra pair up in a film directed by Sahith Mothkuri, who made his directorial debut with the film Savari. Pottel has garnered unprecedented publicity for a small-scale cinema. Pan-India director Sandeep Reddy Vanga praised this film by comparing it with Ram Charan's 'Rangasthalam.' The screenwriter Trivikram also raised expectations by lauding the film. Released on Friday (October 25), did this film meet expectations? Did it bring success to Ananya? Let's see in this review.







Plot



The story unfolds in Gurramgadda village, located at the borders of Maharashtra and Telangana. The villagers conduct a festival for the village deity Balamma once in every cycle and offer sacrifices. It is believed that during this time, the deity possesses Patel (Ajay), the village head, who then prevents the villagers from progressing, particularly in education. On the other side, Pedda Gangadhari (Yuva Chandra) serves as the keeper of the sacrificial animals and secretly educates his daughter. When Patel finds out, he makes the sacrificial animal disappear. He threatens to sacrifice Gangadhari's daughter if the animal isn't found by the festival. What does Gangadhari do to save his daughter? Is he able to bring back the animal? What role does Bujjamma (Ananya Nagalla) play in this story?







Performances



Ajay, as Patel, delivers a powerhouse performance, surpassing even his impactful role in 'Vikramarkudu.' Newcomer Yuva Chandra excels as Gangadhari, a man desperate to educate his child and improve his village. Despite being his debut, he perfectly fits into his role. Telugu actress Ananya Nagalla gets a substantial role and shines as Bujjamma. Even in a deglamorized role, she delivers an exceptional performance. Singer Noel also got a significant role and did justice to it. Srikanth Iyengar and Chatrapathi Shekhar lived up to their roles, along with other supporting cast members who performed competently within their limits.







Direction



Director Sahith Mothkuri captures the essence of a rural 1980s setting right from the beginning, immersing the audience into that era within the first 20 minutes. He vividly portrays how the oppressed and weak were subdued during the Patel era, focusing on the prejudices rooted in caste and pride. The introduction of characters, the love story between the hero and heroine, and other scenes are well-handled in the first half. However, the second half seems a bit faltering. The director appears to rely too heavily on the villain's oppression to drive emotional engagement, resulting in scenes that sometimes lack logical continuity. Nevertheless, the director succeeds in connecting the audience with the film's underlying message.







Technically



On the technical front, the music and cinematography departments have performed well. The songs and background score positively impact the film. However, editing flaws are noticeable, particularly in the second half where scenes drag. The art department excels, recreating the atmosphere of the 1980s with their workmanship.







Plus Points



- Story



- Lead performances



- Music



Minus Points



- Lack of engaging narrative



- Dragging scenes

Pottel Movie Review: 'Rangasthalam' Level Telugu Film? Sandeep Reddy Vanga's BOLD Comparison, Ananya's De-glam Avatar Shocks, But Second Half DISAPPOINTS!


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.

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.
