    Vijay's 'The GOAT': A Predictable Action Drama with Strong Performances and High Expectations
    Vijay's 'The GOAT': A Predictable Action Drama with Strong Performances and High Expectations Cast: Vijay, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prabhu Deva, Prashant Thyagarajan, Kokila Mohan, Jayaram, Sneha, VTV Ganesh, Aravind Akash, Vaibhav Reddy, and others. Story and Direction: Venkat Prabhu Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja Cinematography: Siddharth Nuni Editing: Venkat Rajan Producers: Kalpathi S. Aghoram, Kalpathi S. Ganesh, Kalpathi S. Suresh Tamil star hero Vijay stars in the latest action thriller 'The GOAT' (The Greatest of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. The film also features Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead, with important roles played by Sneha, Laila, Prashant, and Prabhu Deva. This film is notable for its use of de-aging technology. With rumors circulating that this might be Vijay's last film before entering politics, expectations for the film were quite high. How did the film turn out? How much did it captivate the audience? Did it provide another unforgettable success for Vijay or not? Let’s find out in this review. 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. Performances Vijay delivers a dual role, excelling as Gandhi but the young Vijay’s digitally aged look as Jeevan might feel a bit off, not entirely convincing. Vijay shines again in action sequences and emotional scenes, proving his star quality. Meenakshi Chaudhary as the heroine doesn’t have much of a role, feeling more like a guest appearance. Prashant, Ajmal, and Prabhu Deva as squad members are adequate but not outstanding. Jayaram, as the head of the squad, captivates with his performance. Sneha impresses with her acting as Gandhi’s wife. Tamil youth hero Shiva Karthikeyan makes a mark in a cameo, and Trisha excites in a special song appearance. The rest of the cast performs adequately within their roles. Direction Director Venkat Prabhu’s storyline lacks novelty. The narrative of a hero working in defense and the villain raising his son to turn against him has been seen many times before. However, the scenes detailing the son’s revenge feel engaging. The first half is mostly spent introducing the characters, and the plot progresses as expected until the pre-interval. The interval scene raises curiosity for the second half, which, although predictable, includes some twists that surprise the audience. The comedy and dialogues are deeply rooted in Tamil culture, which might not entirely appeal to the Telugu audience. However, Vijay’s fans will likely find the film quite entertaining. Technically On the technical front, the songs by Yuvan Shankar Raja are forgettable, not leaving a lasting impact. However, the background music enhances the action sequences, elevating them to another level. The graphic department could have done better, especially with Vijay’s de-aging look. Editing is competent. The production values are high, showing no compromise in terms of budget. Plus Points - Vijay’s performance - Action sequences - Climax Minus Points - Predictable plot - Slow first half Telugu.yousay.tv Rating : 2.5/5

    Venkatesh’s Sankranti Treat: Hilarious Gun Mishap on Set, Big Box Office Clash Looms! Veteran actor Venkatesh is starring in the film Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, directed by the talented Anil Ravipudi. The movie features young heroine Meenakshi Chaudhary as Venkatesh's co-star, with Aishwarya Rajesh playing a significant second lead. Produced by Dil Raju, the film is set to release on January 14, 2025, as a Sankranti treat. Recently, the team held a press meet where director Anil Ravipudi shared an interesting incident from the film's shoot. "Accidentally Pointed a Real Gun" Tamil actor VTV Ganesh, who won the hearts of Telugu audiences with his single dialogue "Evarraa Nuvvu Intha Talented?" in Beast, plays a key role in Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. During the press meet, Anil Ravipudi shared a humorous yet nerve-wracking moment from the set involving VTV Ganesh. He recounted, "Ganesh sir asked me if I knew what a real gun felt like. Senior actor Naresh, who was on set, brought out his licensed gun. Without realizing it was loaded, I jokingly pointed it at Ganesh sir's head at point-blank range. Naresh panicked and immediately removed the bullets, explaining that even a slight touch could fire it. It was a close call. Ganesh sir, you must have a bright future, which is why you were saved that day!" Anil added that many such funny incidents occurred during the shoot. https://twitter.com/i/status/1859522147229573619 "That’s When the Industry Thrives" During the press meet, Venkatesh shared his thoughts, explaining that the team began production with the aim of releasing the film during Sankranti. He expressed confidence that the movie will resonate with fans and family audiences, offering them a fantastic festival watch. Venkatesh also extended his wishes for the success of Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, and Daku Maharaj, starring Balakrishna, both releasing during Sankranti. He remarked that the industry thrives when every film does well. Senior actor Naresh also praised Venkatesh, calling him one of the most versatile actors in India. https://twitter.com/i/status/1859522147229573619 https://twitter.com/i/status/1859522147229573619 Sankranti Hat-Trick Releases! The Sankranti season of 2025 is shaping up to be crucial for producer Dil Raju, who has three films lined up. Apart from Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, he is producing Game Changer, directed by Tamil filmmaker Shankar and starring Ram Charan, which is set to release worldwide on January 10, 2025. Additionally, he is distributing Daku Maharaj, a Balakrishna starrer directed by Bobby. Speaking at the press meet, Dil Raju expressed his confidence in all three films achieving great success. He also humorously commented about Anil Ravipudi, saying, "Anticipating competition from Game Changer during Sankranti, Anil cleverly titled his movie Sankranthiki Vasthunnam." https://twitter.com/i/status/1859522147229573619 70% Theaters Reserved for Dil Raju’s Films! With two direct releases and another film's theatrical rights secured, Dil Raju has already positioned himself strategically for Sankranti 2025. Reports suggest that he has been in talks with theater owners and distributors to ensure maximum screen allocation for his movies. Film circles are abuzz with speculation that 70% of theaters are already reserved for Dil Raju's projects, leaving the remaining films to manage with the remaining 30%. While this is currently just a rumor, further clarity on the situation is expected soon. https://twitter.com/i/status/1859522147229573619

    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
