    Wedding bells are set to ring once more in the Akkineni’s house. Tollywood's young hero, Akkineni Naga Chaitanya, is getting ready to marry again following his divorce from star heroine Samantha. He is poised to tie the knot with renowned actress Sobhita Dhulipala. Their engagement recently took place, and photos from the event have gone viral online. While Akkineni fans are ecstatic, some netizens have criticized their union. Let's delve into the details now. Nagarjuna’s Special Post Akkineni Nagarjuna announced his son Naga Chaitanya’s engagement himself. He shared the photos on platform X, stating, “My son Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala's engagement took place today at 9:42 AM. I am happy to share this news with all of you. We warmly welcome her into our family. My best wishes to the new couple for a life filled with happiness and love. Here’s to endless love, 8.8.8.” Many netizens responded to this post, extending their best wishes to the new couple. https://twitter.com/iamnagarjuna/status/1821450886238851531 A Two-Year Romance The engagement between Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita didn't surprise anyone as there have been rumors of their relationship for some time. Chay and Sobhita have reportedly been dating for the past two years, and their holiday trip photos have widely circulated online, winning the hearts of Akkineni fans. Thus, everyone expected them to eventually marry, and as anticipated, their engagement was celebrated grandly in the presence of friends and relatives. Divorce with Samantha It’s well known that Naga Chaitanya was previously married to star heroine Samantha, whom he met during the film 'Ye Maaya Chesave', which blossomed into love. They got married in 2017 and were celebrated as the best couple. However, after four years, conflicts arose, shocking their fans, and in 2021, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha parted ways. Now, each living their separate lives, Chaitanya’s readiness to remarry has delighted Akkineni fans. Did You Know These About Sobhita? Sobhita Dhulipala was born in Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, and emerged as the winner of the Femina Miss India title in 2013. She entered the film industry with the Bollywood movie 'Raman Raghav 2.0' in 2016. Following that, she gained recognition with films like 'Chef' and 'KaalaKaandi'. In 2018, Sobhita was introduced to Tollywood through the film 'Goodachari', captivating the Telugu youth audience with her charm. She later played significant roles in 'Major' and 'Ponniyin Selvan 1 & 2', receiving accolades for her performances. Recently, she also starred in the American film 'Monkey Man'. Currently, she is working on a Hindi movie titled 'Sitara', while Naga Chaitanya is busy with 'Thandel', directed by Chandoo Mondeti. Sobhita is Bolder than Samantha! There was intense speculation that Samantha’s bold role in 'The Family Man' web series led to their divorce, among other reasons like her item song in the movie 'Pushpa'. However, now Sobhita Dhulipala, who is set to marry Naga Chaitanya, has sparked interest for her on-screen presence, having performed more boldly than Samantha in several scenes. Netizens recall her daring performance in the web series 'Made in Heaven' and her intimate scenes there. She also made a splash in 'The Night Manager' and 'Monkey Man' with bold and intimate scenes. Now, netizens are questioning how Naga Chaitanya, who divorced Samantha for her bold scenes, is set to marry Sobhita, who is known for even bolder roles.

    Samantha Stuns in Action-Packed 'Citadel: Honey Bunny,' Streaming on OTT from November 7
    Samantha Stuns in Action-Packed 'Citadel: Honey Bunny,' Streaming on OTT from November 7
    Samantha Ruth Prabhu is one of the leading actresses in Tollywood. Despite taking a break from films due to health issues, Samantha remains constantly in the news. Her latest web series 'Citadel: Honey Bunny' is set to stream on OTT platforms from November 7. A trailer related to this series was recently released, in which Samantha dazzled everyone with her performance. She matched the action sequences with heroes in a way that captivated all viewers, bringing her name once again into the trending spotlight. It is reported that Samantha has received a significant remuneration for this series. How much was the remuneration? Samantha and Varun Dhawan played the lead roles in the web series 'Citadel: Honey Bunny.' Samantha portrayed the character of Honey while Varun Dhawan played Bunny. This is the first time Samantha will appear in a spy role in her career. She molded herself significantly for this and even took special training for the action sequences. It is reported that she received a huge remuneration for the Citadel web series, around Rs. 10 crores, according to Bollywood circles. For comparison, it was rumored that she received Rs. 5 crores for the film 'Kushi' with Vijay Devarakonda. This suggests that her payment for the series was double. Currently, Samantha's remuneration is considered higher compared to many actors and actresses in Telugu cinema. https://twitter.com/RottenTomatoes/status/1846350495113240740 The series with Samantha's craze at its peak! Samantha previously starred in the web series 'Family Man 2,' which streamed in 2021 and was directed by Raj and DK. In this series, she received widespread acclaim for her performance, especially in action sequences, which was a first in her career. Her portrayal of negative shades was particularly well received by the Bollywood audience. Interestingly, the directors of 'Family Man 2' are also directing 'Citadel: Honey Bunny.' According to the trailer, the character of Honey seems to feature even more action than the character of Raji in the previous series. The series is set to stream on Amazon Prime on November 7 and will be available in over 240 countries. I am still a bad actress: Samantha In a recent interview, Samantha reflected on her journey. She recalled her first film audition during 'Ye Maaya Chesave' and noted how different it was from her audition for 'Citadel.' In this web series, she had to act badly on purpose, and she performed well because she considers herself still partly a bad actress. "If I say I did my best, it doesn't mean the credit is all mine. The best in us only comes out when we are in the hands of the right team," Samantha explained. The highlight of the series! During the trailer launch of 'Citadel,' Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan made some interesting remarks. He mentioned that the climax of the series is on another level. "Samantha and I worked tirelessly for an action scene that lasts 11 minutes. We shot it in a single take without cuts. This scene will appear in the climax and will definitely add to the suspense," said Varun. This has greatly heightened the expectations among fans. Discussions are already underway about the impact 'Citadel' will make in India.

    Ties and Tangles: The Marital Saga of the Akkineni Family
    Tollywood actor Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and renowned actress Sobhita Dhulipala are soon to be united in marriage. Their engagement ceremony was recently held in the presence of family members, a grand affair announced personally by Akkineni Nagarjuna, which quickly went viral. However, Naga Chaitanya was previously married to star actress Samantha. Due to disagreements, they separated. With Naga Chaitanya's recent engagement, the topic of his divorce has resurfaced. There is also a discussion online suggesting that marriages do not seem to last in the Akkineni family, with netizens recalling that nearly four couples within the family have gone through divorces. Let's now look into the details of these instances. The Akkineni Family Even before the divorce between Naga Chaitanya and Samantha, four other couples in the family had already ended their marriages. The legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Annapurnamma had five children, among them, Akkineni Nagarjuna became a well-known actor. Their eldest son, Akkineni Venkat, produced several films. Their daughter, Satyavati's children, Sumanth and Supriya, are also well-recognized in the Telugu film industry. Another daughter, Nagasusheela's son Sushanth, is also making his mark as an actor. https://twitter.com/iam_strganesh/status/1821881385251991843 Nagarjuna’s Divorce Sumanth’s Divorce Sumanth, the nephew of Nagarjuna and son of Satyavati and Surendra Yarlagadda, was doing well in his career when he fell in love with actress Keerthi Reddy, famed for 'Tholi Prema'. They married in August 2004 but, for unknown reasons, divorced two years later. Keerthi Reddy settled in Bangalore, while Sumanth has remained single and is recently becoming busy with films again. Tragedy in Supriya’s Life Sumanth's sister, Supriya Yarlagadda, also faced a similar situation. She debuted as an actress in the movie 'Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi', starring Pawan Kalyan. Later, she distanced herself from acting and got more involved in film production. Eventually, she married an actor named Charan Reddy with the approval of her elders, but their marriage did not last long. Charan Reddy passed away due to health issues, and since then, she has been living alone. Cancellation of Akhil’s Marriage Before the marriage of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha, Akhil Akkineni was ready to tie the knot. His engagement also took place with Shriya Bhupal, a relative of Ram Charan’s wife Upasana. However, this did not lead to marriage. For some reasons, Akhil and Shriya's wedding was canceled. Following the cancellation, Shriya Bhupal married another man, while Akhil has been striving for success in the film industry. Naga Chaitanya and Samantha’s Divorce In 2017, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha got married in Goa, after a love that blossomed following their acquaintance during the making of the movie ‘Ye Maaya Chesave’ in 2010. After seven years of being in a relationship, they got married and were recognized as Tollywood’s cute couple. Unexpectedly, they divorced in 2021, shocking fans and the entire cinema world. At that time, Samantha was heavily criticized, with some blaming her bold roles in films post-marriage as the reason for their separation.

    ANR 100th Birth Anniversary: Celebrating Akkineni Nageswara Rao, the Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood
    ANR 100th Birth Anniversary: Celebrating Akkineni Nageswara Rao, the Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood
    Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR), one of the foundational pillars of Tollywood, needs no special introduction. Recognized as a Dadasaheb Phalke Award recipient, Padma Vibhushan, and Natasamrat, he left an indelible mark on the industry. Born on September 20, 1924, as his centenary completes today, fans globally are celebrating his 100th birth anniversary. Although widely known as a legendary actor, not everyone is aware that he was also an excellent dancer. In fact, he was the one who introduced dance to Tollywood, a fact that might be unknown to this generation. Let’s delve into this special report to learn more about it. [toc] The Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood Looking back to the early days of Tollywood, dance was not a primary focus when the industry first began. Leading actors were not keen on dancing; their focus was entirely on how to act and express emotions to captivate the audience. This was particularly noticeable between the 1960s and 1970s. When heroines danced, heroes would often just stand by, a point of criticism at the time. However, Akkineni Nageswara Rao completely changed these dynamics. While many associate Tollywood dance primarily with Megastar Chiranjeevi, it was Nageswara Rao who laid the groundwork for dance in the industry, making it an essential skill for heroes, matching and even excelling alongside heroines in dance. At one point, seeing Nageswara Rao’s dance, contemporaries like Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, Superstar Krishna, Shobhan Babu, and Krishnam Raju also began to emphasize dance in their films. Audiences Mesmerized by Akkineni's Steps! In the 1971 film 'Dasara Bullodu', ANR’s performance in the song ‘Ettage Unnadi Olammi’ was mesmerizing. Similarly, in 'Bangaru Babu', his dance to 'Chengavi Rangu Cheera' electrified audiences who, until then, primarily enjoyed songs for their auditory appeal. Specifically, his dance in 'Prem Nagar' for the song ‘Nenu Puttanu Lokam Navvindi’ became a trendsetter. Additionally, his competitive dance with Sridevi in 'Premabhishekam' for the song 'Ne Kallu Chebuthunnayi' delighted everyone. He also matched steps with Megastar Chiranjeevi in the film 'Mechanic Alludu'. There’s a long list of such performances, some of which are linked below for a glimpse into his prowess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG_H1fNnWJA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWhPlHc0yoU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTt-kp2Lndc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA_uVs7H7G0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_p90nJNsB8 Inspired by Nageswara Rao... Even Megastar Chiranjeevi, known for his dance, was inspired by Nageswara Rao at one point. It’s said that Chiru enhanced the importance of dance in films after watching Nageswara Rao’s movies. In an event, Chiranjeevi made interesting remarks about ANR's influence, noting that after watching Chiru’s dance, one might wonder if his body actually had any bones at all. Over the decades, as Chiranjeevi became a peerless hero in acting and dancing, he carried forward the legacy initiated by Nageswara Rao, which now continues with stars like Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, NTR, and Ram Pothineni. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFTIlMls-98 Interesting Post by Balakrishna On the occasion of ANR's 100th birth anniversary, actor Balakrishna posted a touching tribute, expressing pride in remembering Nageswara Rao. He noted that ANR's iconic roles and invaluable contributions to Telugu cinema are unforgettable and serve as a guiding light to all actors. Balakrishna urged everyone to express their gratitude for the immense services ANR provided to the film industry, from theater to cinema. His journey is an inspiration to all. ANR's Top-10 Film Re-Releases To commemorate Akkineni Nageswara Rao's centennial, a series titled 'ANR 100: King of the Silver Screen' is re-releasing ten of his classic films from September 20-22 across various cities including Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Warangal, Kakinada, Tumkur, Vadodara, Jalandhar, and Rourkela, among a total of 25 locations. What are these films? What are their plots? Where can you watch them? Let’s find out now.

    Bharateeyudu 3 Heading Straight to OTT: Can Shankar and Kamal Haasan Bounce Back After 'Bharateeyudu 2' Flop?
    Bharateeyudu 3 Heading Straight to OTT: Can Shankar and Kamal Haasan Bounce Back After 'Bharateeyudu 2' Flop?
    The film 'Bharateeyudu', which featured the successful combo of Kamal Haasan and director Shankar, created a sensation in the past. Its sequel 'Bharateeyudu 2' was released on July 12 this year amidst high pan-India expectations but unexpectedly ended up as a disaster. The film drastically failed to meet the audience's expectations. However, during the climax of this film, director Shankar confirmed the coming of 'Bharateeyudu 3' with a special trailer. Recently, there’s buzzing excitement around the third part, with rumors suggesting it’s heading directly to OTT. Let’s try to find out the truth. ‘Bharateeyudu 3’ Heading Straight to OTT! Another film under the direction of Shankar, starring Kamal Haasan, 'Bharateeyudu 3' is in continuation of their previous successful ventures. The second part, released in July this year, failed to win the audience's favor, leading to theatrical issues for the third installment. There seems to be reluctance from theater groups to take a risk on it. In this context, makers are preparing to directly release the third part on OTT, as is strongly circulated in Kollywood circles. However, netizens comment that releasing a film by Shankar and Kamal Haasan, who have a pan-India reputation, directly on OTT could be seen as a disgrace. Confirmed by OTT Circles! It's confirmed by Netflix circles that 'Bharateeyudu 3' will definitely be coming to OTT. There's a chance it will be streaming by January 2025, likely as a treat for Sankranti. An official announcement is expected soon. Meanwhile, 'Bharateeyudu 2', despite its flop talk in theaters, streamed on Netflix but failed to achieve expected viewership levels. Due to this, it’s rumored that the OTT rights for 'Bharateeyudu 3' might sell for a lower price. Harsh Trolls for 'Bharateeyudu 2'! In 'Bharateeyudu 2', Kamal Haasan appeared as a 106-year-old man, which brought significant trolling for the unrealistic portrayal of such an aged person performing action sequences. Critics pointed out that the plot and narrative of 'Bharateeyudu 2' were poor, and it did not resemble a typical Shankar film. Will a Game Changer Save the Day? The film 'Bharateeyudu 2' directed by Shankar was a massive disappointment. Following underperformances of Shankar's earlier films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehitudu' at the box office, there's a pressing need for a game-changer to revive his success streak. The success of this movie could potentially reestablish Shankar’s fame at a pan-India level, while failure might put his career at risk. Similarly, for producer Dil Raju, this game-changer is crucial to recover from past losses incurred under the 'Family Star' banner.

    "\The Mystery of Moksha Island: A Thrilling Web Series with Twists and Suspense
    Cast: Nandu, Tejaswi Madivada, Priya Anand, Ashutosh Rana, Pavani Reddy, Keshav Deepak, Sudha, Bhanu Chander, and others. Director: Anish Kuruvilla Cinematography: Naveen Yadav Music: Shaktikanth Karthik Editing: Umair Hasan, Fayaz Ray Producers: Gopichand Achanta, Ram Achanta OTT: Disney+ Hotstar Starring Ashutosh Rana, Priya Anand, Nandu, Sonia Agarwal, and Tejaswini Madivada in leading roles, the latest Telugu web series "The Mystery of Moksha Island" has been directed by Anish Kuruvilla. This suspense crime thriller has debuted on the prominent OTT platform Hotstar. How is this series? Has it pleased the OTT audience? Let's find out in this review. Plot Nobel laureate Indian scientist Vishwak Sen (Ashutosh Rana) dies unexpectedly in a flight accident, leaving behind an estate worth nearly ₹24,000 crores. Before his death, he writes a will distributing his wealth equally among all his relatives, with one condition: they must spend a week on Moksha Island. Agreeing to this, Vishwak Sen's family members land on the island, but unexpected events unfold, leading to their deaths one by one. What is the mystery of Moksha Island? Why did Vishwak impose the condition to stay on the island for a week? Are the people who went there really Vishwak's family members or not? What is Vishwak's connection to Moksha Island? That is the story. Performance The web series "The Mystery of Moksha Island" features several actors. Among them, Priya Anand, Nandu, and Ashutosh Rana stand out. Nandu justifies his role as a young man determined to solve the island mystery, while Ashutosh Rana is compelling as a cunning scientist. Tejaswi Madivada and Akshara Gowda attract more with their glamour than their acting. Roshan Kanakala, son of the famous anchor Suma Kanakala, impresses in a gay role. Bhanuchander, Sonia Agarwal, Ajay Katurvar, and Satyakrishna, along with others, do justice to their roles with their performances. Direction Director Anish Kuruvilla has crafted a well-written mystery story set on an island. He designed characters with varied backgrounds for the series, showing an unknown side to each character. Who is killing those who set foot on the island? Episodes where everyone suspects each other build suspense. The director engages the audience with numerous questions about the island over six episodes.

    'Game Changer' Release Date Locked announcement on Vinayaka Chavithi?
    'Game Changer' Release Date Locked announcement on Vinayaka Chavithi?
    Following 'RRR,' Ram Charan stars in the highly anticipated film 'Game Changer,' directed by Tamil star director Shankar. This political action thriller is produced by prominent Tollywood producer Dil Raju. Fans are eagerly waiting to know when this film will hit the screens. Recently, a significant update regarding the release date of 'Game Changer' has emerged, suggesting a big surprise on Vinayaka Chavithi. Let's look at the details. Release Date Locked? It appears that a major update is ready for the film 'Game Changer.' The movie team is planning to unveil a poster with the much-awaited release date. The film is set for a pan-India release on December 20, as a Christmas gift. There's buzz that an official announcement regarding the release date will be made on September 7, during Vinayaka Chavithi, potentially through a special poster. Producer Dil Raju recently confirmed at a movie event that 'Game Changer' would be released in December, delighting mega fans. Teaser Ready to Launch So far, the 'Game Changer' movie has not released content up to the expected level. In response, the makers are preparing to release a teaser soon. They plan to surprise mega fans with the teaser this month, giving a full treat with two updates within the same month. Industry insiders speculate that the teaser might be released in the last week of September. If this happens, it will be a joyous occasion for Ram Charan's fans. Why Only for Christmas! It seems that mega hero Ram Charan is following in the footsteps of pan-India star Prabhas. Prabhas' film 'Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire' was released last Christmas and achieved blockbuster success. However, there's a reason why 'Salaar' was released during Christmas. With Mahesh Babu (Guntur Karam), Nagarjuna (Naa Saami Ranga), Venkatesh (Saindhav), and Teja Sajja (HanuMan) competing in the 2024 Sankranti season, it was decided to release 'Salaar' solo during Christmas for better box office results. Now, Ram Charan & Co are also contemplating a similar strategy. With Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' locked for Sankranti 2025, and other major films like Venkatesh-Anil Ravipudi's film, Ajith's 'Good Bad Ugly', and 'Shatamanam Bhavati 2' also likely to compete, a Christmas release would enable Ram Charan to make a significant impact at the box office, just like Prabhas. Director Shankar's High Hopes! Director Shankar's recent release 'Bharateeyudu 2' was met with severe disappointment, with netizens commenting that it did not feel like a typical Shankar film. His previous films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office. Therefore, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar to return to the path of success. Producer Dil Raju is also hoping to recover from the disappointment of his last film 'Family Star,' starring Vijay Deverakonda, which was a significant failure at the box office. Currently, both the director and producer are pinning their hopes on the success of the Charan movie.

    'Devara’ Breaks the 23-Year Rajamouli Sentiment: NTR’s Film Triumphs After RRR
    'Devara’ Breaks the 23-Year Rajamouli Sentiment: NTR’s Film Triumphs After RRR
    The latest film featuring the Man of the Masses, Tarak, titled 'Devara' has been released grandly today (September 27). Despite some mixed opinions, the film overall is being touted as a hit. The music by Anirudh is reportedly next level. Having shattered several records even before its release, the film is expected to achieve even more milestones, with fans confident about its success. Interestingly, it's said that Tarak has broken a flop record of Rajamouli that has been ongoing for 23 years, declared by none other than Rajamouli's son. Rajamouli’s Flop Sentiment! It’s a well-known fact that a film with director Rajamouli is a blockbuster. However, post a Rajamouli film, no hero until now has managed an immediate hit. Every hero has faced a box office disaster following their film with Rajamouli, a sentiment that started 23 years ago with Rajamouli’s first film 'Student No.1'. Following 'Student No.1' and 'Simhadri', Tarak faced major failures. Similarly, post 'Vikramarkudu' Ravi Teja, post 'Maryada Ramanna' Sunil, and post 'Eega' Nani all faced flops. After 'Baahubali 2', Prabhas, Rana, and Anushka also failed in their subsequent films. Naturally, there were apprehensions about 'Devara' following 'RRR' with Tarak. Breaking the 23-Year Record The flop sentiment with Rajamouli started with Tarak on September 27, 2001, with the release of 'Student No.1'. 23 years later, on the same day, 'Devara' was released and has garnered hit talk, thus ending the flop cycle that started on the same day with the same person 23 years ago. This has sparked a flurry of comments on social media that Tarak has shattered the bad sentiment linked with Rajamouli. Now, fans believe that no hero needs to worry about the Rajamouli flop sentiment anymore. Karthikeya’s Special Post Karthikeya, Rajamouli's son, also tweeted about this, "Finally, the 23-year myth has been broken. It ended on the same day it began with the same person. I grew up watching him closely, seeing his growth and success. Now I see the wonders he's performing. I am speechless at the contribution he’s making to Telugu cinema. This is a big gift he has given to the fans. Devara is the biggest mass celebration in cinema. Now, even the madness speaks. All hail the tiger," along with a photo taken with NTR. https://twitter.com/ssk1122/status/1839476779175567669 Rajamouli Watching Devara with Fans The buzz around 'Devara' is evident across theaters in the Telugu states. After nearly six years, NTR's solo movie has his fans ecstatic. Amid this festive atmosphere, Rajamouli watched the film. Accompanied by his family, he greeted movie enthusiasts at the Maithri Vimal theater in Balanagar and watched the film with them. Videos related to this are going viral online. Producer Dil Raju and director Anil Ravipudi watched the movie at Sriramulu theater. Meanwhile, in a theater in Chennai, music director Anirudh watched the movie with fans and charged up the atmosphere by singing the Fear song. https://twitter.com/ArtistryBuzz/status/1839517947548794958 https://twitter.com/AnirudhTrend/status/1839516079560802450

    Gorre Puranam Review: A Quirky Tale Where the Goat Steals the Show!
    Gorre Puranam Review: A Quirky Tale Where the Goat Steals the Show!
    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 Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 2.5/5
