Superstar to work with young director?


Superstar Rajinikanth announced his political entry this year but he surprised after he signed a film for Karthik Subbaraj. The regular shoot of this untitled film started in North India recently and the movie will release during December.

Now if the latest reports are to be believed, Rajini gave his nod for AR Murugadoss for an interesting film. Rajinikanth rejected a script some time ago that has been narrated by AR Murugadoss.

The top director returned back after making enough changes and narrated the edited version to Rajini and got his nod. The regular shoot will commence during the end of this year. AR Murugadoss is currently directing Vijay’s next and the film will release during Diwali in November.

Yuddham Saranam is a disaster

Looks like Naga Chaitanya has learnt the lesson the hard way and will never give chances to family and friends for his films. He took a risk when he gave a chance to his childhood friend Krishna to direct a film called Yuddham Saranam.
 
The film was promoted quite heavily but the result is very disappointing. There are not takers even on the third day as the audience has rejected the film completely. The overseas results are even more disappointing as the film has not even collected 100k which is a disaster.
 
Chaitanya needs to work carefully and check on his subjects with which he is going to work. Just as he knew the result of the film, he immedieatly joined hands with Chandoo Mondeti who gave him his much needed hit with Premam.
 
As he is busy with his wedding now, he will kick start a fresh and work on a couple of projects which woul bring him back in the game.

Apparently, around Rs 135 crore was earned from the film’s theatrical rights across languages, the rest was earned through satellite, audio and miscellaneous deals.


Review Paisa Vasool 2.75 Only for Nandamuri Fans

Nandamuri Balakrishna always shares a love and hate relationship with his fans but his fans love him to no extent. So, for them, Balayya has come in a mass avatar in the form of Paisa Vasool which is out today. With Balayya impress and give Puri his much-needed break, read on to find out.

Story:-

The entire police force is after a mafia don called Bob Marley who is based in Europe. So, in order to nab him, a cranky gangster called Teda Singh(Balakrishna) is hired. But the twist in the tales arises when a journalist(Shreya) also gets involved in all this setup and makes things even worse for Teda Singh. How will this cranky Teda Singh sets things right and what is his actual story is the film all about.

Cast and Performances:-

Balyya Babu is in full form as Teda Singh. He exactly gives what his fans want and that is fun. Balayya’s punch dialogues are a riot and the way he fights all the goons are laced with humor. Especially the mannerisms that Balayya does in the film will be a rage with the masses. 

 

Shreya Saran has a tiny role but looks drop dead gorgeous. Kyra Dutt looks cheap in the role of an ACP. Muskaan Sethi is cute but she has not been used well. Rest of the cast is the same tabla batch from Puri’s old films.

Technical Department:-

The film has some grand visuals and some songs are pretty good. Screenplay by Puri Jagan is routine and does not have that edge. Background score is pathetic and has no effect at all. Puri Jagan needs to be blamed for writing such a poor story for Balakrishna. 

 

It is nothing but a boring remix of his hit film Pokkiri. Not once does the plot excites you at all as all the proceedings are easily predictable and you know what is exactly going to happen next. 

Highlights :

Balayya’s role
Songs

Minus Points :

Copied story
Routine screenplay
Boring execution

Summary :

Paisa Vasool is one film which is only for hardcore Balayya fans. If you prepare you self in that manner then Balayya and Puri will give you full time pass. The only thing you need to ignore is the routine story and the jaded narration. This one is only for Nandamuri fans and no on else.

Arjun Reddy is one film which has created a sensation all over the Telugu states. This film has taken the trade by surprise as it has collected 10 crores in just four days of its release.
 
This is serious money as the film has been made only on a budget of 2 crores and the film has a long way to go still. In the US, the film is killing it even more as it has already crossed the one million mark.
 
Trade pundits say that if the film runs at the same speed it will even touch the two million mark. Even though the film is rated A, the crowds are just thronging the theaters for a glimpse.
 
Vijay Devarakonda has single handedly brought a huge craze for this film. His performance is leaving everyone impressed big time and we need to see what wonders this film will create in the future as well. 

Review : Arjun Reddy – Tollywood Reaches New Heights

Story:-
 
Arjun Reddy(Vijay Devarakonda) is a surgeon who in a relationship with one of his juniors(Shalini) from college.

What kind of trauma does he go through and how does he come out is the story of the film.
 
Cast & Performances :
 
Vijay Devarakonda gives the performance of a life time. Such a wild and intense performance you might have surely not seen in the last five years for sure. The way he shows his agony and is unapologetic about it is the biggest plus. His role will shock you and at the same time feel bad for him. Newcomer Shalini is apt as the calm lover. Hero’s friend Rahul Ramakrishna is superb as the friend who supports the hero all time. His role is the biggest key for Arjun Reddy’s impact. Rest of the supporting cast is pretty good.
 
Technical Department :
 
The set up is so contemporary that no Telugu film has come out like this in the recent time. The film looks raw, sober and at the same time quite wild. This is ably supported by the brilliant background score and amazing camera work. Director Sandeep Reddy is a man to watch out for as he has put the Telugu cinema on to another level. He has dreamt of things which no one could and has also succeeded in it which is a great thing in Telugu films. 
 
Highlights:-
 
Vijay Devarakonda’s performance
Hard Hitting break up scenes
Superb Narration
 
Minus Points:-
 
Lengthy Run Time
 
Summary:-
 
Arjun Reddy is one film which will stay with you even after you come out of the theaters. It is one of the most progressive films made ever on Telugu screens and will be a rage with the youth. It is shocking, intense, riveting and entertaining in its own way. Don’t miss such films as they are made very rarely
 
Rating 3.5

 

 

 


Clever tactics make Nene Raju Nene Mantri a hit

Suresh Babu is one  intelligent producer and we all know that. He always makes fewer films and that too on a limited budget. After a long gap, he finally produced a film with his star son Rana Daggubatti.
 
Right from the time the script was okayed, Suresh Babu kept Teja back in the hiding and only promoted the film as a Rana movie. On the other hand, Rana being a pro at strategies went on to promote the film in such a way that the film saw some massive openings.
 
The trade talk is that the film’s budget has been recovered from the first four days collections itself and whatever is coming is an only bonus for Suresh Babu who released the film on his own in several areas.
 
Such clever tactics and aggressive promotions made Nene Raju Nene Mantri a huge hit at the box office.

Having amassed over Rs 1500 crore and still counting, “Baahubali 2” has crushed all existing box office records.

“The film in unstoppable in Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. In the three states, it has done record business, surpassing all previous records. In Tamil Nadu, it has even beaten the record of Rajinikanth’s ‘Enthiran’, which was the sole Tamil film to have grossed over Rs 100 crore,” trade analyst Trinath told IANS.

In the Telugu states, the film has grossed over Rs 200 crore. “It’s the biggest Telugu hit and it’s got no competition until the next major Telugu release which is easily a month away. While the recent Telugu release has opened well at the box office, its impact will have very little effect on the run of ‘Baahubali 2’,” a leading distributor told IANS on the condition of anonymity.
