Love isn't just the combination of two letters; it's the union of two hearts. In this world, every human being yearns for and seeks love. From humans to animals, life progresses through love. Regardless of past, present, or future, love is the essential fuel that propels the boat of life forward. Words often fall short when trying to express how much love one feels. However, certain dialogues touch the heart and resonate with the love within us. Telugu cinema is filled with many love stories. Here are some dialogues from these visual tales that have left a lasting impact on audiences.

OTT Releases This Week Telugu: Wondering What to Watch on OTT This Weekend? This One's for You!


Cast: Viswant Duddumpudi, Shilpa Manjunath, Rhea Sachdeva, Tejaswini Naidu, Viva Raghav, Sumanth Varela, and others.



Written and Directed by: Basireddy Rana



Music by: Lijo K. Jose



Editor: Amar Reddy Kudumula



Producer: Narendra Buchireddygari



Release Date: September 20, 2024



Viswant Duddumpudi, known from movies like 'Kerintha' and 'Manamantha', is now featured in the film 'Hide N Seek'. Produced under the banner of Sahasra Entertainments by Narendra Buchireddygari and directed by Basireddy Rana, this film has raised expectations with its teasers and trailers. Released in theaters this Friday (September 20), let’s see how much it managed to entertain the audience.







What is the Story About?



The story unfolds in the backdrop of Kurnool. Shiva (Viswant Duddumpudi) is a medical student aspiring to become an army doctor. He is in love with Varsha (Rhea Sachdeva), who studies in the same college. In the meantime, a series of inexplicable murders start shaking up the city. A delivery boy is inexplicably beaten to death with a rod. Similar baseless murders spread fear across the city. To solve these serial murder mysteries, police officer Vaishnavi (Shilpa Manjunath) steps into the scene. However, Shiva discovers clues that even the police can't seem to find, leading them to suspect him as the psycho killer. Who framed Shiva in these murders? Who is behind these serial killings? To uncover these mysteries, one must watch the movie.







How Did They Perform?



Young actor Viswant Duddumpudi delivers an excellent performance in the role of Shiva, showcasing his emotional depth well. Kannada actress Shilpa Manjunath looks convincing as a sincere police officer, carefully matching her Telugu dialogues. Rhea Sachdeva, playing the heroine, is limited to a few scenes. Actor Saksi Shiv adds great value to his negative character with his deep voice and compelling acting, making a significant impact. Other actors performed adequately within their roles.







How is the Direction?



Director Basireddy Rana successfully crafts this film as an investigative crime thriller. From the opening scene to the end, he manages to keep the audience glued to their seats. The screenplay is gripping, especially from the first murder to the climax, presenting unforeseeable twists. The way characters are designed and integrated into the story is impressive, with an intriguing link to ancient stories. However, placing this modern warfare in a small city like Kurnool doesn't seem entirely convincing. The film struggles to establish the extent of youth addiction to gaming, and sometimes the portrayal of human emotions falls flat. Overall, the film will appeal to fans of crime investigation movies.







Technically Speaking



Technically, the cinematography is commendable. Lijo K. Jose’s background music is a significant plus, enhancing the suspense elements effectively. The editing is adequate, and the production values are quite good.







Plus Points



- Viswant Duddumpudi’s acting



- Novelty in the story



- Thrilling elements



Minus Points



- Weak drama



- Some unclear scenes

"Hide N Seek" Review: A Gripping Crime Thriller with Unexpected Twists and Turns


Elon Musk's brain-chip startup, Neuralink, is gearing up for another revolutionary experiment. This time, the goal is to develop a device that can restore vision for individuals born without sight. Neuralink has already received the necessary approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to develop this device.



Blindsight Device



The device under development by Neuralink is called 'Blindsight'. It will be particularly beneficial for those who have lost their vision. According to Musk, this device will function by interfacing with the optic nerve, thus providing a possibility for even those born blind to regain sight. Musk, via the X platform, mentioned that those born blind could also use this device to see the world.







Usage of Blindsight



Initially, the vision provided by this device may be limited, but over time, it could offer better visual capabilities than natural vision, as explained by Neuralink. The device will enable users to easily see ultraviolet rays as well.



Current Experiments by Neuralink



Neuralink has already conducted various experiments by implanting electronic chips in the brain. In March, they introduced Noland Arbogast, who, with a chip implanted in his brain, could play the video game Civilization VI and chess. This was live-streamed on 'X'. Arbogast expressed satisfaction with the experiment. Recently, Musk announced plans to implant this device in more patients by the end of this year.







Further Developments



Neuralink plans to introduce more innovative devices soon. The company is preparing plans to implant brain-chips in more patients by the end of this year, aimed at providing technological solutions for individuals facing issues like stroke and vision loss. After successfully implanting the chip in patients like Arbogast, hopes for these experiments have increased. The device reads signals from the patient's brain and connects them to various machines, allowing the patient to perform desired tasks.



The Future



The experiments Neuralink is planning to conduct using brain-chip technology could potentially revolutionize the medical field. These devices are expected to make brain-machine interfaces more accessible and could expand the possibilities in restoring vision, mobility, and more. Neuralink's technology might not only benefit patients but also healthy individuals in the future, offering enhanced cognitive capabilities.



As Musk hopes, this technology not only aids those with vision impairments and paralysis but also brings us closer to true integration between humans and machines. Days are not far when devices like the Blindsight will open up a new world for those born blind.

Elon Musk's Neuralink's Blindsight: A Revolutionary Leap Towards Restoring Vision


Cast: Suhas, Vishika Kot, Posani Krishna Murali, Raghu Karumanchi, and others



Director: Bobby Varma



Music: Pavan CH



Cinematographer: Suresh Sarangam



Editor: Vamsi Krishna Ravi



Producer: Prashanth Mandava



Release Date: 21-09-2024



Tollywood's young actor Suhas has become synonymous with diverse films. Continuing his trend of intriguing Telugu audiences with unique storylines, Suhas stars in another innovative film, 'Gorre Puranam' directed by Bobby Varma. Notably, director Tharun Bhascker provides the voiceover for the goat. Released on September 21, how does this film fare? Did it captivate the audience or not? Let's find out in this review.







What's the Story?



Ravi (Suhas) ends up in jail for committing a murder. Meanwhile, a Muslim man buys a goat to make biryani for his family, but it escapes. In an attempt to catch the goat, the Muslim man and several others chase after it. The goat takes refuge in a village temple where it accidentally gets drunk and is captured by Hindus who want to sacrifice it. This incident catches the media's eye, escalating religious tensions, leading to the police arresting the goat. It is kept in the same cell as Ravi. Why did Ravi commit murder? What is the connection between Ravi’s crime and the goat? Who tried to kill the goat in jail? To find out, one must watch the movie.







How Did They Perform?



Suhas's role is brief in the film, but he captivates with his natural acting prowess. The goat appears on screen longer than the human actors, with Tharun Bhascker’s voiceover adding a comedic touch. Comedian Getup Sreenu also provides a voice for the goat. Other actors like comedian Raghu and Jenny, though in brief roles, significantly impact the story.







How's the Direction?



Director Bobby Varma’s effort to cast a goat as a principal character is commendable. He cleverly narrates where the goat’s story began, what it desires, and its purpose, while infusing the film with sharp satire targeting people, politicians, and the media. While entertaining, the director also makes the audience think. The development of Suhas’s character is well executed. However, the director falters in connecting why he committed murder and planned further killings. The lack of commercial elements and ineffective emotional scenes are drawbacks of the film.







Technically Speaking



Technically, the cinematography is a significant plus. The background score suits the film well, and the editing is adequate. The production values are high, showing no compromise in spending.







Plus Points



- Suhas’s acting



- Story and narration



- Dialogues



Minus Points



- Lack of commercial elements



- Ineffective emotional scenes

Gorre Puranam Review: A Quirky Tale Where the Goat Steals the Show!


Cast: Prince, Naresh Agastya, Neha Krishnan, C.V.L. Narasimha Rao, Mani Chandana, Kedar Shankar, Madhumani, Gundu Sudarshan, and others



Director: Shiva Shesha



Music: Jeevan Babu



Cinematographer: Ramana Jagarlamudi



Editor: Vijay Vardhan Kavuri



Producer: T. Leela Goutham



Release Date: 04-10-2024



The latest film starring Prince and Naresh Agastya is 'Kali', directed by Shiva Shesha. Neha Krishnan, C.V.L. Narasimha Rao, Mani Chandana, Kedar Shankar, and Madhumani also play significant roles. This film, developed with a unique concept, was released to the audience on October 4. Let's see how the movie is and whether it captivated the Telugu audience in this review.







What's the Story?



Shivaram (Prince) is a professor at a university who never refuses to help anyone. This quality endears him to Veda (Neha Krishnan), who falls in love with him and confronts her family to marry him. However, Shivaram's goodwill is exploited by his own family members, who conspire to take his property. Betrayed by his brother and uncle, Shivaram becomes deeply disillusioned and attempts suicide, wishing not to be reborn as a human. At this critical moment, Kali Purusha (Naresh Agastya) makes his entry. Just as Shivaram is about to commit suicide, Kali Purusha rings the calling bell and saves him. What changes does Kali bring into Shivaram’s life? What is the connection between Shivaram’s life and the era of Kali? To find out, one must go to the theaters.







How Did They Perform?



In a refreshing new role as Shivaram, Prince excels with settled acting. Even in scenes without dialogue, his expressions were enough to impress. He made an effort to define himself as an actor by intensifying the scenes. Naresh Agastya shone as Kali, captivating with his stylish performance. The film primarily revolves around these two characters. Neha Krishnan was compelling as Veda within the limits of her role. Other cast members also justified their roles.







How's the Direction?



Director Shiva Shesha made an attempt to convey that suicide is not a solution to problems and that it is the real problem through this film. Although he chose a message-oriented narrative, he did not neglect commercial elements. He made the story engaging by blending suspense and thriller elements effectively. The movie starts with Shivaram’s background, his family life, love track, and betrayal by family members. The director sped up the story with the arrival of Agastya as Kali. The way Agastya questions Shivaram and tries to show him his mistakes is appealing. The scenes that instill a will to live are spectacular, especially the interactions between Prince and Naresh Agastya. However, the story might feel dragged and centered too much around two characters, and the lack of comedy could be seen as a downside.







Technically



On the technical front, the music is a major strength. Jeevan Babu's background score notably elevates the scenes. The editing could have been sharper. The cinematography is good, and the visuals are rich. The production values are also high, befitting the film.

Director: Ruthvik Yelagari



Music: Sai Teja



Cinematographer: C.H. Sai



Editor: Jai C. Sreekar



Art Director: Aravind Mule



Producer: Manasa Dasari



OTT Platform: ETV Win



Recently, OTT platforms have been home to many unique stories, with ETV Win bringing a different movie every week to entertain its audience. This week, the suspense thriller 'Tatva' was released directly on OTT. Featuring Hima Dasari and Pooja Reddy Bora as leads, directed by Ruthvik Yalagiri, this hour-long film has hit the screens, but did it win over the OTT audience? Let’s find out in this review.







What’s the story?



Arif (Hima Dasari) is a regular taxi driver who suddenly finds himself in need of money. In this quest, businessman Thomas (Osman Ghani) rides in Arif’s taxi. Realizing Thomas has the money he needs, Arif plans to get it by any means necessary. Unexpectedly, Thomas is murdered during their interaction, and Arif gets entangled in the case. Police officer Jyotsna (Pooja Reddy Bora) steps in to investigate. Who killed Thomas? How is Arif involved? What is the relationship between Thomas and Arif? Is Arif innocent? The answers unfold only through watching the movie.







How did they perform?



Although Hima Dasari is the main hero, it’s Osman Ghani who steals the show as Thomas. His portrayal adds depth to the character, making even a smile resonate with underlying intentions. Hima Dasari also captivates as Arif, bringing to life the struggles of a young man. Pooja Reddy landed a significant role, which seems straightforward at first but takes a surprising turn at the climax, pivotal in twisting the story. The film primarily revolves around these three characters, with other actors performing well within their roles.







How’s the direction?



Having worked as an assistant director for movies like 'Run Raja Run' and 'Saaho,' Ruthvik brings a unique style to this thrilling cinema. The film, which explains the fading humanity within individuals, starts grippingly, especially the first 20 minutes. Ruthvik aims to deliver his points without confusion, wrapping up the film in just 58 minutes, a definite plus. However, some scenes stray from logic and feel incomplete, which could have been refined for better impact. Those expecting commercial elements like songs, fights, romance, or love tracks might find it less appealing. Overall, Ruthvik’s directorial effort is commendable.







Technically speaking,



The cinematography is notable, especially considering most of the film takes place at night, delivering good visuals even in low light. The background music also strengthens the film's atmosphere. Editing is decent, and production values are high. Technically, 'Tatva' scores well.







Plus points:



- Characters of Arif and Thomas



- Camera work



- Background music



Minus points:



- Lack of commercial elements



- Some incomplete climax scenes

Fall in Love with Reading: 20 Must-Read Romantic Novels for New and Seasoned Readers Alike


Cast: Priyadarshi, Nabha Natesh, Brahmanandam, Vishnu, Krishna Teja, Ananya Nagalla, Muralidhar Goud, among others.



Written and Directed by: Aswin Ram



Music by: Vivek Sagar



Cinematography: Naresh Ramadurai



Dialogues by: Hemanth



Producers: K. Niranjan Reddy, Chaitanya Reddy



Release Date: July 19, 2024



The unique romantic comedy entertainer 'Darling' starring Priyadarshi and Nabha Natesh, and directed by Aswin Ram, has already captivated audiences with its promotional material. Produced under the banner of PrimeShow Entertainment by K. Niranjan Reddy and Mrs. Chaitanya Reddy, the film released worldwide on July 19th..







Plot



Since childhood, Raghav (Priyadarsi) has dreamed of marriage and a honeymoon. Working as an agent in a travel agency, he finally seems poised to realize this dream when he becomes engaged to Nandini (Ananya Nagalla), a psychologist chosen by his father (Muralidhar Goud). However, his plans unravel when Nandini leaves him at the altar for another man. Heartbroken and on the brink of despair, Raghav's life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Anandi (Nabha Natesh). The two quickly fall in love and marry, but on their wedding night, Raghav discovers that Anandi has multiple personality disorder, hosting five distinct personalities: Aadi, Maya, Jhansi, Papa, and Srisri. The unfolding challenges Raghav faces with Anandi’s complex condition promise a story filled with intrigue and emotion. To uncover the full story, one must head to the theaters.







Performance



Priyadarsi, once again, charms as Raghav, fitting perfectly into his role with his distinctive comedic timing, delighting the audience. Nabha Natesh excels in a challenging role with various facets, carrying the film on her shoulders with a career-best performance. She brilliantly displays the variations of her split personalities. The funny scenes between Nabha Natesh and Priyadarsi are engaging, though the dubbing for Nabha Natesh's role could have been better. Supporting actors like Ananya Nagalla and Muralidhar Goud play their parts within limits. Guest appearances by Suhas, Brahmanandam, and Niharika Konidela also shine.







Direction



Director Aswin Ram attempts to present the complex concept of multiple personality disorder in a humorous light. The first half is swiftly paced with sequences of wedding preparations, a halted marriage, a suicide attempt, and the quick marriage to Anandi all unfolding in an entertaining manner. While the first half thrills and amuses the audience, the story seems to dull down in the second half. The backstory of the heroine and the repetitive narrative might bore the audience. The climax is particularly confusing. Despite the innovation, director Aswin Ram struggles to keep the film engaging throughout.







Technically



On the technical front, the cinematography is a major plus for the film, providing fresh visuals. Vivek Sagar’s music, however, does not make a significant impact. The editing could have been tighter. The production values are high, with no compromises on the budget.







Plus Points



- Performances by Priyadarsi and Nabha Natesh



- Comedy



- Cinematography



Minus Points



- Second half

Darling Movie Review:A Whirlwind of Romance and Laughter with a Twist of Complexity


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?


Icon Star Allu Arjun stars in the highly anticipated 'Pushpa 2', directed by Sukumar. With Rashmika Mandanna as the heroine, the sequel to the pan-Indian success of the first part has set high expectations nationwide. The makers have officially announced that the film will be presented to the audience on December 6. With premieres planned a day earlier, there are only 50 days left until the film's release. In light of this, netizens are buzzing that the upcoming days will be filled with promotions for 'Pushpa 2'.



Pushpa 2 Fever!



Fans are excited on social media, anticipating that the next three months will kickstart the era of Pushpa. The #Pushpa2 hashtag is trending, predicting the promotions of 'Pushpa 2'. There's an expectation that updates will come weekly, with posts also predicting the release schedule. It is anticipated that 'Pushpa 2' will have its overseas premieres on December 4 and premiere shows in the north at 9:30 PM the same day.

Devi Sri Raises the Hype



Music director Devi Sri Prasad has made intriguing comments about the pan-Indian film 'Pushpa 2', starring Allu Arjun. He hinted that the movie is on another level, particularly praising the first half as mesmerizing. He revealed that they have already seen the locked first half, which is mind-blowing, including three scenes that are as intense as an interval in just the first half alone. Sukumar’s script and direction, along with Allu Arjun’s performance, are expected to bring a phenomenal cinematic experience. The background score of 'Pushpa 2' is also anticipated to be extraordinary.

Trailer in November’s Second Week!



The producers have planned massive promotions for 'Pushpa 2', with the trailer expected to drop in the second week of November. The film has done a theatrical business of ₹650 crores, meaning it needs to gross over ₹800 crores to break even. Given the massive expectations in Bollywood, even an average reception is likely to lead to substantial profits, according to trade experts.







Mrunal for the Item Song!



The songs from 'Pushpa' were a massive hit, especially the item song "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava" that became a nationwide sensation with Samantha’s captivating appearance. The chemistry and dance moves of Bunny and Sam energized the youth. Continuing this trend, director Sukumar plans to include a similar item song in 'Pushpa 2'. Many names have been considered for this special song, with Mrunal Thakur now being the latest mentioned. There were earlier reports of choosing Tripti Dimri or even Bollywood beauty Disha Patani, but now the buzz is strong around Mrunal Thakur. The film team is reportedly in talks with her to finalize the participation.

The climax, enriched with powerful dialogues and action sequences, promises to be a major highlight. Like the first installment, the climax of 'Pushpa 2' is expected to be crucial and will also include a link to a potential third part. The shooting is expected to continue extensively until the end of next month.
