Naresh Agastya, who has become familiar to the Telugu audience through films like 'Matthu Vadalara', 'Senapathi', and 'Panchatantram', now stars in the latest series 'Vikkatakavi' streaming on the OTT platform. Directed by Pradeep Maddali, Megha Akash plays the female lead in this series. Shiju Abdul Rasheed, Raghu Kunche, Amit Tiwari, Mukhtar Khan, and Tarak Ponnappa play key roles in this series that has recently debuted on Zee5. Let's find out how this series is and whether it captivated the OTT audience in this review.







The Story



The series is set in the 1970s. Ramakrishna (Naresh Agastya) is a renowned detective known for solving complex cases with his intelligence, often assisting the police with pending cases. Meanwhile, people who visit the Hill of Deities in Amargiri village tend to forget their past, believed to be due to a curse by the goddess. A professor, aware of Ramakrishna's detective skills, challenges him to uncover the mystery of the Hill of Deities. What did Ramakrishna find out when he went to the Hill of Deities? Why did Lakshmi (Megha Akash), the granddaughter of the ruler of the Amargiri estate, go with him? How did their acquaintance occur? What is the curse, and did Ramakrishna resolve it?



Performance Review



Naresh Agastya has impressed as detective Ramakrishna, delivering a settled performance. He has perfected his looks and dialogues, bringing substantial weight to his character with his body language. Megha Akash has played a significant role with finesse, effectively expressing emotions. Raghu Kunche, Shiju Abdul Rasheed, Mukhtar Khan, Ashok Kumar, and Amit Tiwari fit well into their regular roles, with Tarak Ponnappa playing a crucial role. Other cast members have performed to the best of their abilities within their roles.







Direction Review



Director Pradeep Maddali has successfully led the series to maintain intrigue throughout. His screenplay especially thrills the audience, keeping them engaged without deviating from the storyline. Every character in the story serves a purpose, and their design enhances the thrilling element. While the twists are somewhat predictable, they still engage the audience. However, some scenes could have been depicted more robustly, and at times, the narrative seems to slow down. A few elevation shots could have been better executed to take the series to the next level.



Technically Speaking...



The technical departments of the series (Vikkatakavi Web Series Review) have performed well. Given the periodic backdrop, the art department excellently recreated the setups and dressing styles of the era. The cinematography effectively transports the audience back in time, and the background music is appealing. The production values are high.

August OTT Movies: List of Telugu Movies and Web Series Released in OTT Platforms in August and July


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

The film, set to be released in two parts, is ramping up its promotions with just 22 days left until its release.

Let’s delve into the accolades and criticisms the 'Daavudi' song has garnered.



Daavudi with a Peppy Beat

In this track, Tarak electrified the audience with his energetic performance, matched step for step by Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor. The song, composed by Anirudh with his signature peppy beats, features lyrics by Ramajogayya Sastry in Telugu, with vocals provided by Nakash Aziz and Akash.

Mesmerizing Dance



Tarak’s dance in the 'Daavudi' song stands out as a major highlight, elevating the song to another level with his dynamic steps choreographed by Shekhar Master. Tarak performed even the most challenging moves with ease, reminiscent of his energetic performance in the 'Naatu Naatu' song from 'RRR'.

Social media is abuzz with praise for both their performances, especially lauding Tarak, with a fan’s post comparing his energy to that from a decade ago going viral.

Liplock Scenes In Telugu Movies: Tollywood Heroines Hot Liplock Scenes


Prabhas continues to reign as the king of the Indian box office, standing tall in collections where no other Indian star can reach. Whenever a Prabhas film is scheduled, other heroes tend not to release their films around the same time. They show interest in releasing their movies either a month before or after Prabhas’s release. Now, a Tamil star hero is gearing up to face off with Prabhas at the box office with his upcoming film, "The Raja Saab". Let’s delve into the details.



Prabhas vs Dhanush



After blockbusters like "Salaar" and "Kalki 2898 AD", Prabhas is returning with "The Raja Saab" directed by Maruthi, set to premiere on April 10, 2025. This marks Prabhas's first foray into horror-comedy, setting high expectations for "The Raja Saab". Meanwhile, Tamil star Dhanush is ready to take on Prabhas (Prabhas vs Dhanush) by releasing his latest film "Idli Kadai" on the same day, April 10 next year, as officially announced by the makers. This sets the stage for a major box office showdown.







Why That Particular Day?



Dhanush himself directs his film "Idli Kadai" (Idli Shop), starring Nithya Menen. Produced under the banners of Don Pictures and Wonder Bar Films by Akash Bhaskaran, the film features key roles by Prakash Raj and Shalini Pandey. Despite Prabhas's presence in the fray, Dhanush has strong reasons to release "Idli Kadai" on April 10. For Tamil audiences, April is significant just like Ugadi for Telugu people; Tamil New Year falls on April 14 next year, coinciding with a long weekend, making April 10 a strategic choice for release. There is no backing down from releasing both "The Raja Saab" and Dhanush's film on that day, and only time will tell who will come out on top.

A Potential Setback for Prabhas in Tamil Nadu!



Dhanush has a significant following not only in Tamil but also in Telugu and Hindi cinema. Although Prabhas has a broader market reach, "The Raja Saab" might not face much competition from "Idli Kadai" on a pan-India level. However, Dhanush enjoys a robust market in Tamil Nadu where fans adore him, potentially impacting "The Raja Saab"’s performance there significantly.







More Than a Half-Dozen Pan-India Projects!



Prabhas currently has over half a dozen pan-India projects in hand. Alongside "Raja Saab", he is set to work in "Spirit" with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, "Kalki 2" directed by Nag Ashwin, "Salaar 2" with Prashanth Neel, and "Fouji" with Hanu Raghavapudi. He is also slated for a special role in Manchu Vishnu’s dream project "Kannappa" and has shown interest in a new film with "Hanuman" fame Prashant Varma, whose story Prabhas liked. Moreover, there is buzz about upcoming projects with Tamil star director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Bollywood’s popular filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani. Prabhas is undoubtedly surging forward in his career with these continuous projects.
