This Week’s OTT &  Telugu Movie Releases ( Nov 22th)


Renowned choreographer Jani Master has been embroiled in a sexual harassment case that has caused a sensation across the Telugu states. A female choreographer accused him of sexually harassing her over some time, making it a topic of intense discussion in Tollywood. In response to her complaint, police have already registered a case against Jani Master under IPC sections 376, 506, and 323(2). Amidst this backdrop, a team of Cyberabad SOT police intensified their search and eventually detained him in Goa. He was presented in court there and is being brought back to the city.

What happened?



Jani Master was accused by his assistant of sexual harassment. She complained to the police, saying, "I met Jani Master in 2017. I joined his team as an assistant choreographer in 2019. During a film shoot in Mumbai, I traveled there along with Jani Master and two other assistants. At the hotel there, Jani Master raped me. He threatened to fire me and said I would never work in the film industry again if I told anyone. He took advantage of the opportunity to take us from Hyderabad to other cities for film shootings and raped me multiple times. Even during the shootings, he behaved indecently inside the vanity van," the victim stated in her complaint. Following her complaint, police arrested him on Thursday (September 19). The Cyberabad SOT team apprehended him at a lodge in Goa.







If you've done something wrong, admit it: Manchu Manoj



Since she was a minor, the girl in her complaint alleged that Jani Master had harassed her, prompting police to register a case under the POCSO Act. However, since the case was registered, Jani Master disappeared. Actor Manchu Manoj made intriguing remarks about this. He opined that fleeing when a woman makes accusations sends a dangerous message to society and future generations. He advised Jani Master to face the truth and fight if he hadn’t done anything wrong. "If you have made a mistake, admit it," Manchu Manoj clarified. "Everyone knows how hard Jani Master worked to reach a high position in his career. But seeing these allegations at this level is heartbreaking. The law will determine who is at fault. I congratulate the police for acting swiftly in this matter. This incident clearly shows that no one is above the law," Manoj stated.

Directors: Sandeep, Sujit



Producer: Chinta Gopalakrishna Reddy



Music: Sam CS



Cinematography: Satish Reddy Masam, Daniel Vishwas



Kiran Abbavaram is one of Tollywood's talented young heroes. He made a mark with his debut film 'Raja Vaaru Rani Gaaru' and showed his potential. Despite his subsequent seven films, except for 'SR Kalyanamandapam,' not making an impact, many thought his career might have stalled. However, Kiran made a striking comeback with the pan-India project 'KA,' which garnered a lot of hype through its promotions. The trailer raised expectations, and the film has now been released globally as a Diwali gift. Let's see how it fared.



Plot



Abhinay Vasudev (Kiran Abbavaram) is a young orphan who grows up grieving the loss of his family. From his childhood, he longs for his parents. Escaping from the orphanage and stealing money from his master, Gurunatham, he leaves. He loves reading books and letters, a passion that leads him on a new path. Finally, he arrives in Krishnagiri and joins as a postman in the village. There he falls in love with Satyabhama (Nayan Sarika), who reciprocates his feelings. Meanwhile, girls in the village start disappearing. Who is behind this mystery, and how does Abhinay Vasudev confront this challenge? That forms the rest of the story.







What's the Film Like?



The film introduces a fresh concept. The narration, thrilling moments, and climax are well-executed. Strong characters and their engaging presentation capture the audience's attention, especially during the interval and climax scenes. The twists add freshness to the narrative. Kiran Abbavaram excels in the dual variations of his role as Abhinay. Nayan Sarika, as the heroine, delivers a commendable performance that captivates the audience. Balagam Jayaram is impressive, and other principal cast members have justified their roles effectively.







How's the Direction?



Directors Sandeep and Sujit have somewhat succeeded in capturing the essence of the suspense thriller genre. While there is room for improvement in the screenplay, key scenes have been compellingly shot. Although the concept is interesting, some parts of the screenplay feel slow. The main conflict point could have been clearer, and some unnecessary scenes seem to weaken the suspense. These issues somewhat detracted from the film's overall impact.







Technical Aspects



The film excels technically. The cinematography by Satish Reddy Masam and Daniel Vishwas breathes life into crucial scenes. Sam CS's music adds strength to the film, and the editing is sharp. Chinta Gopalakrishna Reddy's production values are commendable.







Final Thoughts



Overall, 'KA' engages audiences with its suspense and thriller elements, underpinned by a strong story. The concept and some thrilling elements significantly elevate the film. Fans of suspense thrillers will likely enjoy this movie.

Latest OTT Releases in Telugu: This week's new films that promise great entertainment!


Cast: Chandrahass, Vismaya Sri, Richa Joshi, Ambika Vani, Ritu Mantra, Muralidhar Goud, and others.



Written and Directed by: Srinivas Mehta



Music by: Ashwin Hemant



Cinematography: Askar Ali



Editor: Marthand K. Venkatesh



Producers: Prabhakar, Malayaja Prabhakar



Release Date: 04-10-2024



Chandrahass, son of small-screen megastar Prabhakar, has become highly popular on social media as the Attitude Star. His latest film 'Ramnagar Bunny' has been much discussed on social media recently. Chandrahass's comments about refunding ticket money if the movie doesn't appeal went viral. Now, the film has hit the screens. So, how is it? Did the Attitude Star deliver a hit? Did he captivate as a hero? Let’s find out in this review.







Plot



Bunny (Chandrahass) from Ramnagar has a weakness for girls. He falls in love with every girl he sees, sequentially engaging in love tracks with three of them (Vismaya Sri, Richa Joshi, Ambika Vani). Facing unexpected circumstances, he even promises to marry an auntie and joins her company. However, Bunny realizes he doesn’t actually like the auntie. He discovers he truly loves Shailu (Vismaya Sri), but by then, her engagement with someone else is already fixed. What does Bunny do next? How does he win Shailu’s love? For that, you must head to the theaters.







Performances



Actor Chandrahass has brought the same attitude to the screen that made him popular, proving to be the film’s strength. Despite this being his first film, his acting is captivating. He performed confidently, excelling in dances and fight scenes, and also impressed in romantic scenes. Vismaya Sri as Shailu looked adorable, and the other three women involved with Bunny were adequate. Muralidhar Goud, playing Bunny's father, contributed well with his comedic timing. Other supporting actors were passable.







Direction



Director Srinivas Mehta crafted 'Ramnagar Bunny' in a way that appeals to the youth, seemingly writing the story just for Chandrahass. He combined a simple story with an excellent screenplay to deliver full-on entertainment. He successfully portrayed Chandrahass not as a superhero but as a regular young man wandering the streets, which really worked. The film maintains a light-hearted tone throughout, with comedy scenes, a few emotional scenes, four songs, and two fight sequences, making it a perfect commercial film. However, Chandrahass's inexperience shows in dragged scenes and emotional sequences, which can be seen as a minus.







Technically



On the technical front, three songs were quite good, and the background music was engaging. The cinematography was also well-done. However, drone shots of Hyderabad city and selfie visuals in one song didn't quite work out. The editing was okay, and the production values were good.







Plus Points



- Chandrahass's acting



- Commercial elements



- Music



Minus Points



- Dragged scenes



- Weak emotional scenes

Ramnagar Bunny Review: Chandrahass Delivers Attitude, But Does It Hit the Mark?


Cast: Anjan Ramachandra, Shravani Reddy, N.T. Ramaswami, Ganesh D.S., Ravi Kalabrahma, Vani Gouda, and others.



Written and Directed by: Smaran Reddy



Music by: Prince Henry



Cinematography by: Mohan Chari, Askar Ali



Editor: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao



Producer: Hemalatha Reddy



Release Date: October 18, 2024



Anjan Ramachandra and Shravani Reddy lead in Smaran Reddy’s 'Love Reddy', with N.T. Ramaswami, Ganesh D.S., Ravi Kalabrahma, and Vani Gouda in supporting roles. The film, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, garnered high expectations among the audience, especially after the recent trailer spiked interest. Let’s see how it fared with the audience as it released on October 18.







The Story



Narayana Reddy (Anjan Ramachandra), at 30, is still unmarried. Despite numerous matchmaking attempts by his family, he rejects every proposal, claiming none of the girls meet his expectations. One day, he falls in love with Divya (Shravani Reddy) at first sight on a bus. Transforming into 'Love Reddy', he sees her as his world. Divya befriends Narayana but rejects his love proposal. Even though she likes Love Reddy, why did Divya reject him? What twist does Divya's entry bring to Narayana Reddy’s life? Does their love story end happily? The film must be watched to find out.







Performance Analysis



All actors in 'Love Reddy' are relatively new. Anjan Ramachandra impresses as the lovelorn Narayana Reddy, especially given that this is his first film, captivating with his natural acting. Shravani Reddy justifies her role as Divya. N.T. Ramaswami, playing Divya's father, catches everyone’s attention, especially with the twist he introduces in the climax. Jyothi Madan, as the girl who likes the hero, and the actor playing the hero’s brother, among others, performed well within their roles.







Direction Analysis



Director Smaran Reddy has crafted a pure love story revolving around the critical issue of honor and prestige. Though the story is routine, it's presented with a natural flair of Andhra-Karnataka locality. Starting with a matchmaking scene, the director makes the narrative engaging once the protagonist becomes 'Love Reddy'. However, his efforts to express his love come off as somewhat clichéd. The curiosity of whether Divya will reciprocate Love Reddy's feelings keeps the first half engaging. The second half, dealing with the rejection of his love and the reasons behind it, connects well with today's youth. The last 20 minutes are emotionally driven, making the climax particularly impactful. Overall, Smaran Reddy has marked a good score as a director.







Technical Aspects



On the technical front, Prince Henry's music is a major strength to the film, bringing scenes to life with his distinctive background score. The songs are appealing. The cinematography is commendable, richly presenting each frame. The editing is adequate, and the production values are high.







Plus Points



- Acting



- Emotions



- Music



Minus Points



- Routine story



- Dragged scenes in the first half

Love Reddy Movie Review: A Heartwarming Tale of Love and Honor


Ananya Nagalla is one of the few Telugu heroines in Tollywood who debuted as a lead actress with the movie 'Mallesham.' Since then, she has charmed Telugu audiences by consistently starring in a series of films, sometimes as the main heroine and sometimes in character roles. Her recent film 'Pottel' as the lead actress has garnered positive talk, and her performance was highly praised, although there has been a longstanding belief among Telugu viewers that despite her good roles, Ananya hasn't received the opportunities she deserves. Amidst this, she has landed a bumper offer, much to the delight of her fans.



With the Mega Hero..!



Sai Dharam Tej is currently working on his latest film 'SDT 18,' produced by K. Niranjan Reddy and Chaitanya Reddy, known for blockbuster films like 'Hanuman.' This film marks the directorial debut of Rohit KP. In this film, Telugu actress Ananya Nagalla is playing a significant role, officially announced by the makers, who also released her first look poster. The production company Prime Show Entertainment welcomed her, stating, "Welcome the talented Ananya Nagalla, who continues to impress with diverse roles," showing her in the poster dressed as a traditional Telugu girl, captivating everyone with her smile.

Mega Hero Romance!



In 'SDT 18,' Aishwarya Lekshmi is already cast as the heroine. The recent glimpses of the film highlighted her look. With Ananya Nagalla joining the project, there is speculation about the role she will play. It seems likely that she will be the second heroine, and she is expected to have key scenes with Sai Dharam Tej, possibly including romantic scenes. More details about her role are expected to be revealed soon by the film team.







An Inspiration for Newcomers!



To succeed as a heroine in the industry, it's crucial to star alongside leading heroes—a fact well-known to Ananya Nagalla, perhaps more than to any other actress. She made her entry as a heroine with 'Mallesham' in 2019 and then starred in a successful science fiction movie 'Playback.' Although she played a key role in Pawan's 'Vakeel Saab,' it did not break her typecast, leading her to side characters in various films. Whenever opportunities arose, she proved herself as a heroine, recently ascending another step in her career with films like 'Tantra' and 'Pottel.' Her efforts to star in films with star heroes have finally borne fruit with 'SDT 18,' which recognized her talent and gave her a significant role. Analysts say this success will undoubtedly elevate Ananya's career to a new level, inspiring the current generation of Telugu girls.







Set in the Backdrop of 1947-67...



'SDT 18' is being produced on a budget of nearly Rs. 120 crores, making it the highest-budget film in Sai Dharam Tej's career. Directed by Rohit KP, this periodic action drama unfolds in the backdrop of 1947-67 and is set in the Rayalaseema region. Recent making videos released show extensive sets built for the film, highlighting the rustic village settings of the olden days. A glimpse of heroine Aishwarya Lekshmi was also shown in one of the shots. Tej will be seen in a powerful, mass-driven role and has undergone a major makeover for this. The makers are working to release the film in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Rising Like a Wave...



Having made his entry into the industry as a mega nephew, Sai Dharam Tej has proven his mettle and emerged as a successful actor among the mega heroes. At the height of his career, he unexpectedly met with an accident, plunging his family and fans into concern. He later recovered from a coma, a life-threatening situation, and has since managed to stabilize both his personal and professional life. Following the accident, he achieved significant victories with films like 'Virupaksha' and 'Bro' and officially added his mother's name, changing from Sai Dharam Tej to Sai Durga Tej.

Release Date: 28-11-2024



Starring Harsha Narra, Sandeep Saroj, Tarun, Supraj Ranga, Sonu Thakur, Meghalekha, and Khushboo Choudhary, "Roti Kapada Romance" is a youthful entertainer directed by Vikram Reddy. The movie, jointly produced by Bekkem Venugopal and Srujan Kumar Bojjam, finally hits the theaters after multiple delays. Released on November 28th, this film draws the youth in. But does it truly captivate its audience? Let’s delve into this review and find out!







What’s the Story?



Event organizer Harsh (Harsha Narra), software engineer Rahul (Sandeep Saroj), RJ Surya (Tarun), and Vicky (Supraj Ranga) have been close friends since childhood, sharing the same room and living together joyfully. Vicky, however, lives off his friends without engaging in any work. Their peaceful life takes a turn when four girls enter the scene. Divya (Nuvveksha) pairs up with RJ Surya, Sonia (Khushboo Choudhary) with Harsh, Shweta (Meghalekha) with Vicky, and Priya (Thakur) with Rahul. How do these relationships transform their lives? What challenges do they face due to these romantic entanglements? Why do they end up breaking up? What realization do these young men come to after their breakups? To know, one must watch the movie.



Performance Analysis



Despite being mostly newcomers, everyone in this film has performed their roles admirably. Harsha Narra, Sandeep Saroj, Tarun, and Supraj Ranga, as the lead actors, have captivated the audience with their unique acting skills. Vicky’s character, in particular, is memorable. The four leading ladies have also charmed the viewers thoroughly. The entire movie revolves around these four couples, while the supporting cast has done justice to their roles.







Direction



Director Vikram Reddy has shaped this film around the concept of how the lives of four young men change after four young women enter their world. While the themes of friendship, love, and breakups have been explored in many films before, the director has managed to present these in a fresh way. The portrayal of four distinct love stories in one frame has worked well. The director successfully highlights the contemporary youth’s challenges in love and their thoughts on marriage, extracting excellent performances from the cast, despite their inexperience. However, some scenes might feel repetitive, and the lack of a star cast and commercial elements could be seen as drawbacks.



Technically Speaking



On the technical front, all departments have performed well. The background score by Sunny MR, Harshavardhan Rameshwar, and RR Dhruvan has added a significant plus to the movie. The songs, fitting well with the contexts, are appealing. The cinematography is good, with visuals appearing fresh. Editing is adequate, and the production values are commendable.
