<strong>OTT Suggestions: Must-Watch Films This Weekend Including 'Lucky Baskhar' and 'Ka'!</strong>


The adulteration scandal of Tirumala laddus has become a topic of intense discussion nationwide. Recently, Pawan Kalyan embarked on a penitential walking pilgrimage to Tirumala, concluding his vow. Afterwards, at a public gathering in Tirupati hosted by Varahi, he spoke about the ongoing assaults on Sanatana Dharma. During this event, he strongly criticized Tamil Nadu Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin’s past remarks about eradicating Sanatana Dharma. This prompted the DMK and Udhayanidhi's social media wing to target Pawan, trying to tarnish his image by discussing his personal matters. In response, Pawan’s fans massively opposed Udhayanidhi's IT cell with numerous posts. Due to the impact from Pawan's fans, many accounts that had previously trolled Pawan on a large scale have now been closed.



A netizen posted from their hostel in Chennai that discussions about Sanatana Dharma are prevalent, crediting Pawan Kalyan for the same. He predicted that in the upcoming elections, the ruling DMK would be confined to just one seat.




https://twitter.com/Deepika_JSP/status/1843293613029200362




Pawan Kalyan has also been countering actor Prakash Raj, who continues to attack him on social media. Mockingly referring to Prakash Raj as a loser, they reminded him of his crushing defeat in the 2019 Bangalore Central elections.




https://twitter.com/nrkaravindh/status/1843349508127916391




The real nature of individuals posting derogatory comments against Pawan Kalyan's Sanatana Dharma campaign has been exposed by fans. It was revealed that the person running the We Dravidians 2.0 account, which posted offensive comments, is of a different religion and has acquired Malaysian citizenship.




https://twitter.com/HPhobiaWatch/status/1843251985178657133




Due to heavy targeting by Pawan’s fans, the admin of the We Dravidians 2.0 page had to close it. A post by a netizen that ridiculed the CM, reducing his capability to just 11 seats, has gone viral.




https://twitter.com/lyf_a_zindagii/status/1843309397952598086





https://twitter.com/Nanda_927/status/1843287653699211585




Fans have strongly responded to trolls claiming that Udhayanidhi Stalin, compared to Pawan Kalyan, is more educated. They reminded everyone that Pawan, despite being just a 10th-grade pass, donated ₹2 crores during the Chennai floods, while the highly educated Udhayanidhi hasn’t spent a single rupee from his own pocket. They also made a stark comparison to Osama Bin Laden, noting that despite being a civil engineer, he bombed many buildings.




https://twitter.com/parandhamdalit/status/1842842605828415846




By standing up to Udhayanidhi's IT cell, netizens are discussing once again the influence of Pawan Kalyan in social media. Fans are unitedly posting against forces opposing Pawan.




https://twitter.com/lordshivom/status/1843026533906059587




A video posted by a fan, suggesting that one must get past Pawan’s mass fanbase to oppose him, has gone viral.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1843210460226867648





https://twitter.com/PK_Addicts/status/1843004204392088060




A video showing how Pawan Kalyan effectively neutralized the once ruling YSRCP and former CM Jagan, is making rounds extensively.

https://twitter.com/JSPGovtIn2024/status/1843221542920159417




A recent poll conducted by a Tamil YouTube channel on this issue showed that a whopping 89% of participants support Pawan Kalyan.

20 Romantic Gift Ideas for Your Lover This Diwali to Strengthen Your Bond


Director Sekhar Kammula, known for crafting classic films in Tollywood, especially youthful love entertainers, has carved a distinct identity for himself. Meanwhile, Natural Star Nani is also popularly seen as a 'lover boy' and is currently riding high after the success of his recent movie 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram'. Amidst this backdrop, there is widespread buzz about an upcoming film under the direction of Sekhar Kammula starring Nani. It's being talked about that Sai Pallavi might join as the heroine for this movie.



Super Combo Loading



An exciting new combination is set to take shape in Tollywood with Nani and Sekhar Kammula teaming up for a new film, according to social media buzz. Tollywood circles are also abuzz with the prospects of this pairing. The script for this movie is reportedly ready, and Nani is expected to hear the final narration soon. The film is said to be a fresh love entertainer, and Sekhar Kammula is considering casting Sai Pallavi as the heroine, which is expected to be a great addition. If all goes as planned, an official announcement regarding this movie may be expected soon.







A Departure from Usual Style



Sekhar Kammula typically does not think about other projects while working on one, focusing entirely on the current film. However, he seems to have departed from this approach as he is already preparing stories for future projects while wrapping up current ones. This strategy might reduce the gap between his film releases. It is also noted that while working on these projects, Sekhar Kammula is already preparing the story for Nani's film. Currently, he is busy shooting 'Kubera', a pan-India film starring Tamil actor Dhanush and Telugu cinema stalwart Nagarjuna.







A First Time for This Combo



Till now, there hasn't been a film that brought Nani and Sekhar Kammula together. Sekhar has expressed his desire to work with Nani on multiple occasions. However, he has worked with Sai Pallavi in two films previously. She was introduced to the industry as a heroine with his film 'Fidaa', and she was also the leading lady in the film 'Love Story' starring Naga Chaitanya. Both these films were blockbuster successes and brought significant recognition to Sai Pallavi as an actress. On the other hand, Sai Pallavi and Nani have already worked together in two films, 'MCA' (Middle Class Abbayi) and 'Shyam Singha Roy', both of which received positive responses. Fans are eagerly anticipating a hat-trick success from their combo.







Will it Take a While?



After the film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram', Nani is currently gearing up for 'Hit 3' under the direction of Sailesh Kolanu. A glimpse of this film was recently released and captured attention. Additionally, Nani is planning another film with director Sujeeth and another with the director of 'Dasara'. Given these commitments, it might take another two years for this rare combo to be set, and Sekhar Kammula is also busy with the filming of 'Kubera'.






Nani and Sekhar Kammula Set for a First-Time Collaboration, Sai Pallavi Likely to Join

The year 2024 has been extremely fruitful for Tollywood. This year's highest-grossing film was Prabhas's 'Kalki 2898 AD.' Released as a festive treat for Sankranti, the movie 'Hanuman' also showcased its strength at the national box office with impressive collections. However, these two films were made with massive budgets. In contrast, lower-budget films like 'Tillu Square,' 'Committee Kurrollu,' and 'Aay' also stood on par in terms of collections with those two films, achieving nearly triple the return on investment. These films have been noted for the significant difference between their budget and collections, ranking among the top 5 Telugu films. Let's examine these details in this special report.



Committee Kurrollu



Niharika Konidela's debut production, 'Committee Kurrollu,' featured eleven new heroes and was released on August 10, garnering positive reviews. It raked in Rs. 17.60 crores worldwide on a budget of just Rs. 6 crores. The film achieved three times the return relative to its budget, earning accolades from critics. 'Committee Kurrollu' is currently streaming on ETV Win, where it continues to receive a favorable response from OTT platforms.







Aay



The recent film 'Aay,' starring Narne Nithiin and Nayan Sarika, directed by Anji K. Maniputra, was released on August 15 and captured a hit status. It outperformed star-studded films like 'Mr. Bachchan' and 'Double iSmart' in collections, amassing a total of Rs. 14.10 crores. The production costs were reported to be between Rs. 6-8 crores. Including OTT rights, 'Aay' managed to earn nearly three times its expenses.







Kalki 2898 AD



Directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Rebel Star Prabhas, 'Kalki 2898 AD' has shaken the Indian box office, grossing over Rs. 1200-1300 crores worldwide. Made in a mythological and futuristic genre, the film was produced with an approximate budget of Rs. 600 crores but earned more than double its cost, receiving widespread acclaim. Pan India star Prabhas once again proved his mettle at the box office. The film also featured stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Deepika Padukone, with special cameos by Vijay Deverakonda, Dulquer Salmaan, S.S. Rajamouli, and Ram Gopal Varma.







Tillu Square



Starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Anupama Parameswaran, 'Tillu Square' released in March this year and made a splash at the box office, collecting over Rs. 135 crores globally. Produced by prominent producer Nagadevara Suryavanshi with a budget of around Rs. 40 crores, the film achieved more than three times its budget. This movie marked Siddhu Jonnalagadda's first entry into the Rs. 100 crore club.







HanuMan



Directed by talented filmmaker Prasanth Varma and starring Teja Sajja, 'HanuMan' captured nationwide attention. Released as a Sankranti gift this year, the film unexpectedly grossed over Rs. 350 crores on a modest budget of Rs. 40 crores, nearly nine times its production cost, astonishing everyone. This success elevated Prashant Varma to a star director status. Following 'HanuMan,' Varma announced a new project with Nandamuri Balakrishna's son Mokshagna Teja, which is soon to commence shooting. He is also focusing on the sequel 'Jai Hanuman.'

Motorola Edge 50 Neo: A Power-Packed Camera Phone Launching During Festive Sales


As the festive season approaches, major e-commerce platforms have announced their sale dates. With the sales starting in just a few days, many people have already added their desired products to their carts, eagerly waiting for the deals to kick in and make their purchases. Products tend to be available at lower prices during sale periods. However, it is also common for some sellers to increase the product prices right before the sale and then show them as discounted during the sale, making customers believe they have purchased at a lower price. Therefore, it is important to know whether the product price during the sale is genuinely discounted. Let's look at how to check the price history of a product.



Apps that help with checking price history



When browsing any product on e-commerce platforms, you can also check its price history. You can download a price history online shopping app (Buyhatke) on your mobile and view it. On the e-commerce site, you can click the share option and select the installed app. This action will pop up information without needing to open the app itself.



The pop-up will display the product’s highest and lowest prices, along with a chart showing the entire price history, including information about when the prices dropped. It also indicates the likelihood of the product's price dropping in the coming days.







Other websites/extensions



Apart from apps, you can also check a product's price history through other websites. For example, you can easily search any product on pricehistoryapp.com. By pasting the link of the product you want to buy into the search bar of the website, you can see the changes in its price.







Extensions like Keepa are also very helpful. You can install the Keepa extension in your browser to check the price history of products on Amazon. When you open a product on Amazon and scroll down, the price chart will be displayed. For Flipkart, the PRICE HISTORY extension is available, which also easily lets you track product prices on Flipkart.



These extensions and apps help you monitor product price histories, assisting you in buying at the right time and the right price.

Weekend OTT Suggestions: Don't Miss These Super Hit New Movies This Weekend!


Featuring the distinctive actor Vijay Sethupathi, 'Maharaja' is a crime and suspense thriller that premiered in theaters on June 14 and achieved unexpected success. The film was a hit across all the languages in which it was released. Despite minimal promotions and lacking a star-studded cast, the movie demonstrated that compelling content alone can drive success. For those who missed it in theaters, a leading OTT platform has announced that it will soon be streaming the film. Let's delve into why 'Maharaja' was such a success and examine the elements that captivated the audience.



When is it Streaming?



The movie 'Maharaja', directed by Nithilan Swaminathan and featuring Vijay Sethupathi, has locked its OTT release date. It is set to captivate OTT audiences and will start streaming on Netflix from July 12. The platform has announced that the film will be available in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. The cast includes notable appearances by Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas, Nataraj, Bharathiraja, and Abhirami.







₹100 Crore Collections



'Maharaja' marks the 50th film in Vijay Sethupathi's career. There were no significant expectations for the movie prior to its release, and the production team did not undertake extensive promotions. Yet, the film started with a bang in theaters, quickly garnering positive reviews and substantial box office returns. Recently, it joined the ₹100 crore club, astounding everyone. This milestone, achieved in just a few days, was announced by the makers with a special poster, once again proving that content-driven films can command a massive audience.







Reasons for Success!



Director Nithilan Swaminathan crafted 'Maharaja' as a unique action thriller. Although the film follows a conventional revenge action drama structure, its screenplay mesmerized the audience. The narrative, spanning past and future timelines, impressed with its unpredictable twists and emotionally charged storytelling. Particularly, the twists during the interval and climax sequences, along with Vijay Sethupathi’s action, won over the audience. Furthermore, the portrayal of Vijay Sethupathi’s character deeply resonated with viewers.

Editing: Srujan Adusumilli, Hamza Ali



Producer: Rakesh Varre



Production Company: Crazy Ants Productions



Release Date: July 19, 2024



Starring Vinoth Kishan and Anusha Krishna, the film 'Peka Medalu' was produced by Crazy Ants Productions. Directed by Neelagiri Mammilla, the movie made its way to the audience on July 19th. Did the film manage to captivate its audience? Let’s find out.







Plot



Lakshman (Vinoth Kishan) and Varalakshmi (Anusha Krishna) reside in a slum along the Musi River. Despite holding an engineering degree, Lakshman remains unemployed, spending his days dreaming of striking it rich by dealing in real estate. Meanwhile, Varalakshmi shoulders the family’s financial responsibilities. During this period, Lakshman encounters Shweta (Rithika Srinivas), an American investor searching for real estate opportunities. Attempting to capitalize on this, Lakshman masquerades as a wealthy investor. He even exploits his wife’s name to secure loans from the local community. The plot thickens when Varalakshmi discovers his deceit. What actions does she take? How does Shweta's husband respond to Lakshman’s schemes? And do Lakshman’s lofty ambitions ever materialize? For the answers, one must visit the theaters.







Performances



This is Tamil actor Vinoth Kishan’s first direct film in Telugu. He fits well into the role of Lakshman, convincingly playing the part of a husband wasting time building castles in the air. On the other hand, Anusha Krishna excels as Varalakshmi, portraying the struggles of a middle-class wife with natural ease. Rithika Srinivas also delivers a solid performance as the NRI lady. The movie primarily revolves around these three characters. Other actors in the film also impress within their roles.







Direction



Director Neelagiri Mammilla has attempted to showcase the lives of the impoverished in the slums of Hyderabad through this film. 'Peka Medalu' conveys that just like the castles in the air, the lives of those who believe in them are similarly intangible. The film depicts how the circumstances in the slums lead children astray while also infusing humor to carry the middle and lower-class emotions. Furthermore, the director has made efforts to portray women's empowerment, suggesting that nothing is impossible with hard work. The first half of the movie flows smoothly, though the second half feels a bit dragged. However, the scenes from the pre-climax to the end title elevate the film to another level. The absence of commercial elements, a routine story, and some scenes feeling repetitive are drawbacks of the movie.







Technically



On the technical front, the music is good. The editor could have been sharper, especially in making some scenes in the second half crisper. The cinematography is commendable, and the production values are high, giving even this small-scale film a rich look.







Plus Points



- Performances by the main cast



- Narrative and screenplay



- Messaging



Minus Points



- Routine story



- Lack of commercial elements
