Eleven Movie Review: An Average Thriller With Some Good Parts

Movie: Eleven
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast: Naveen Chandra, Shashank, Abhirami, Reyaa Hari, and others
Director: Lokkesh Ajls
Streaming On: Prime Video

Eleven Movie is a crime thriller directed by Lokesh Ajls, and stars Naveen Chandra as the lead. The film received average reviews upon its theatrical release, and did not do well at the theatres. Now, it has arrived on OTT on Prime Video and let us see how the film has been shaped up in our review.

Story:

Eleven Movie’s story is about a top cop Aravind (Naveen Chandra) who investigates a series of crimes in Vizag. Aravind discovers a link between the murders and a school called Twin Bird, which admits only twins. Who committed these murders? What happened at the school? The rest of the film answers the above-mentioned questions.

Performances:

Naveen Chandra shines in his character and anchors the film. He finds cop characters easy to portray. Shashank also delivers a good impact as the police officer. The film features Abhirami in a pivotal part, and the actress gives a perfect performance. Reyaa Hari, the female lead, lacks impact as she fails to deliver the required expressions in crucial scenes.

Analysis:

Lokkesh Ajls writes and directs Eleven. The story centers on a murder mystery, but the director includes a twist involving a school for twins. This adds a new perspective to the film. However, the film fails to captivate beyond this point.

It starts on a positive note, but soon the investigation parts are ordinary and do not provide the required intrigue. The flashback episode and the reason for the crimes are impressive, and the emotions also come good.

After the flashback, again the screenplay misses the effect and continues to proceed further with uninteresting parts and ends with a final stunning revelation that could have produced much thrill.

Positives:

  • Few Important Scenes in the First Half
  • Flashback
  • Twist Near the Climax

Negatives:

  • Weak Narration
  • Unexciting Crime/Investigation Scenes
  • Dull Moments

Eleven Movie Review and Verdict:

Director Lokkesh’s Eleven lacks excitement, offering few thrills and more dull moments. Naveen Chandra shines, the flashback episode impresses, and the last twist holds good suspense. It can be watched on the OTT with no expectations.

Prime Video Introduces Up To 6 Minutes Ads Per Hour

Amazon Prime Video users will have to encounter more ads while streaming this month. Amazon plans to boost ad load on Prime Video to lower CPM. The users are unhappy as Prime Video introduces up to 6 minutes of ads per hour.

Reportedly, Amazon increased ad load from 3.5 to 6 minutes per hour. This will have a negative impact on how users view content and push advertisers away. AdWeek reports that Amazon Prime Video will increase its ad load to six minutes per hour later this month.

Prime Video Users Unhappy as the platform starts 6-minute ads per hour

Still, the streaming platform’s ad load remains lower than many OTT platforms, with 13 to 16 minutes of ads per hour. Netflix has the lowest ad load of any streaming service. More ads lead to reduced CPM (cost per mile), which is the fee for every thousand views.

In 2024, Amazon launched its ad tier featuring 3.5 minutes of ads each hour. It will nearly double to six minutes to attract more advertisers. Amazon launched its ad tier last year but limited it due to user backlash. 

Now, Prime Video introduces up to 6 minutes of ads per hour and looks to increase the time given to advertisements to stay competitive with other OTT platforms.

Amazon Prime in India costs Rs. 299 monthly or Rs. 1,499 annually. Users can opt for an ad-free model for Rs. 129 monthly or Rs. 699 annually.

Unni Mukundan’s Marco receives a huge success at the box office as it collects more than 100 Cr gross. Though it received a mixed response for its content, the makers stated they will come back with a sequel. But, as per the latest news, Marco 2 is officially shelved.

As said above, Haneef Adeni’s violent action film was a good success in the theaters, and it delivered decent numbers in Telugu and Hindi too. In Hindi, it became the first Mollywood film to post double-digit numbers.

But the bloody action film received a severe backlash after its OTT arrival, and things escalated to the next level. The Censor Board even banned the TV screening of the film.

The film’s sequel was announced long ago. However, actor Unni Mukundan officially confirmed that Marco 2 is shelved due to negativity around the film. A fan commented on the actor’s Instagram account, and he replied to that comment.

As said above, there have been a lot of issues happening between the Pushpa 2 actor and CM Revanth Reddy. When the Gaddar Awards were announced, everyone was interested to see Allu Arjun and Revanth Reddy on the same stage.

Allu Arjun utters the Pushpa 2 Dialogue at the Gaddar Awards: Politicians can use it for their own benefit

Today, June 14, Saturday, the Gaddar Awardees were honored by the government, and everyone thought the issues of CM and AA would be settled at this event. However, Allu Arjun’s dialogue at the Telangana state awards ceremony (Gaddar Awards) turns into political content.

Has Allu Arjun unknowingly started another controversy?

While receiving the award, the actor took permission from the CM and others on the stage and said a dialogue from the movie Pushpa 2: The Rule. Even if Allu Arjun said the dialogue with a normal intention, the political parties will definitely use it. 

The netizens have already started to create trolls or memes around this, and for sure, the politicians will also use this to their advantage in the coming days. 

One gets a feeling that Allu Arjun might have avoided it, and even if it wasn’t intentional, it’s better not to provide content that can turn into content for others who use it for their own benefit.

Ye Maaya Chesave Re-Release to Clash with Hari Hara Veera Mallu?

Ye Maaya Chesave Re-Release to Clash with Hari Hara Veera Mallu?

It is widely known that the Re-Relese trend has become a norm in the Telugu Film industry in the last two years. Naga Chaitanya and Samantha’s Ye Maaya Chesave (YMC) is the new film to join the re-release trend, and it is going to clash with Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu.

After a few successful results, the re-releases are not working as expected, and only a few movies, like Khaleja, are working huge. Undoubtedly, Ye Maaye Chesave has a good chance of working well in re-release as it has a separate fanbase and has more wider reach after release.

Ye Maaya Chesve Re-Release on 18th July

Naga Chaitanya and Samantha’s Ye Maaya Chesave is the new film to join the re-release trend and it is going to clash with Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu. The film’s re-release has been announced on 18th July.

Though there has been no official announcement from AM Ratnam’s team, the industry buzz suggests that Hari Hara Veera Mallu—Part 1: Sword vs. Spirit has locked the same date, i.e, 18th July

So if the HVVM team officially announces a 18th July release, then we have to wait and see whether YMC gets rereleased on the same day or not. If the film gets released on the same date, then certainly it will be affected massively.

Because there will no be enough screens present for Ye Maaya Chesave if Pawan Kalyan’s film releases on the same day, and it has chances of getting postponed, and it will arrive onlyl if the former does not release on the same day.

Kuberaa Censor Report Leaves Fans Shocked
