The Trisha, Hansika and Siddharth starrer upcoming horror-comedy, Aaranmanai 2, created an Asian record as the makers of the film built a giant 103 feet long ‘Amman’ idol for the film’s climax song. The idol, one of the highlights of this film, will soon enter the Limca Book of Records.

Initially, the film’s unit planned to create the idol taking its visual effects department’s help. However, art director Gururaj decided to make the idol with plaster of Paris and skeletons and other materials to make the idol and the song look authentic. Apparently, it took the art department 40 days to create the idol.

Aaranmanai 2 is a sequel to its successful predecessor, Aaranmanai (Chandrakala in Telugu).

subramanyam-for-sale

[review]

Based on the reviews of top telugu movie sites and based on the public talk.

Subramanyam For Sale is a routine story but Director Harish Shankar’s command over comedy and fan frenzy moments takes Subramanyam to a safe zone. Sai Dharam Tej will surely make an impression with this film. Mega fans will start to believe that he has potential.

idlebrain.com Rating: 3.25/5

Analysis: First half of the film is alright. Second half has good entertainment. Climax is little dramatic. Director Harish Shankar’s entertainment elements and Dil Raju’s family values (though, there are a couple of double meaning dialogues in first half) are blended well in this movie. Plus points are Sai Dharam Tej’s energetic performance and Hari Shankar’s entertainment orientation coupled with a decent story line. It will be a feast for Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan’s fans. On a whole, Subramanyam For Sale has potential to work at box office!

123telugu.com Rating : 3.5/5

Tollywood churns out big budget commercial entertainers once in every two weeks and half of them have the same story. But the films that click are narrated with hilarious entertainment and Subramanyam For Sale falls in this very same category. SFS will be a turning point in Sai Dharam Tej’s career and will put him into the big league. If you manage to ignore the routine and predictable story line, this film will entertain you from the word go and ends up as a paisa vasool entertainer.

Gulte.com Rating : 3.5/5

Subramanyam For Sale is a film made for the aam junta who look for entertainment and entertainment only. The script is sloppy with lots of holes and cliches. Interesting characterization of hero helps the bad first half to an extent. Things get better as the story moves to India. There is lot of entertainment in the second half.Harish Shankar’s command over comedy and fan frenzy moments takes Subramanyam to a safe zone. Sai Dharam Tej will surely make an impression with this film. Mega fans will start to believe that he has potential.Climax was dealt in a melodramatic fashion which is out of sync with rest of the movie. Subramanyam For Sale isn’t a perfect film and is not a bad one either. You can watch it once for its entertainment.

Indiaglitz.com Rating: 3.25/5

A rom-com and a family entertainer, this one is ‘bhale bhale’ Subramanyam for sure. Watch out for Dharam Tej’s natural act, the lead pair, and dialogue.
