Satyabhama movie review: Kajal’s power-packed attempt engages in parts

Movie: Satyabhama
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast: Kajal Aggarwal, Naveen Chandra, Prakash Raj, Nagineedu, Harsha Vardhan
Director: Suman Chikkala
Produced By:  Bobby Tikka, Srinivas Rao Takkalapelly
Release Date: June 7th, 2024

Kajal Agarwal is back in an intense action packed role in Satyabhama. The trailer of the film managed to impress the audience with Kajal showcasing her action prowess and intense side. Directed by Sumna Chikkala, Satyabhama is a crucial movie for Kajal and she has been actively promoting it for past few weeks as a power-packed package of action and thrilling elements. Let’s see if the film has enough punch in it.

Story:

Satyabhama is the story of Kajal Agarwal in the titular role as an ACP. For her, duty comes first and she believes in going to extreme ends to fulfill her duty. She is approached by a woman named Haseena, who reports domestic violence from her husband. Unfortunately, Haseena is killed and later on her brother is abducted. Who’s behind all this? how this case turns Satyabhama’s life upside down and will Satyabhama solve the mystery is what the movie follows.

Performances:

Kajal’s look and body language as a tough cop are spot on and her characterization is quite well-developed. She looks stylish and impresses as a duty-bound cop. However, her inexperience and weakness in stunts are quite visible and her fight scenes look unconvincing in many places. Prakash Raj, Naveen Chandra, Ravi Varma, and Harsha Vardhan provide decent support but there’s nothing much to take home.

Positives:

  • Kajal’s look and characterization
  • Engaging 1st half
  • BGM

Negatives:

  • Predictable scenes
  • 2nd Half
  • Kajal’s action scenes
  • Screenplay

Verdict:

Satyabhama has its own flaws in writing and its inability to keep the audience hooked in the second half dilutes the viewers’ experience. The film definitely has some high points and if you enjoy investigative thrillers or are a Kajal Agarwal fan, you’ll surely have a better experience watching it.

Despite being a true ‘Global Star’ with a huge following in the masses, he touched the feet of his uncle Pawan Kalyan and aunt Anna Lezhnava to take their blessings.

Fans are truly mesmerised by the bonding individuals share in this celebrated family.

Manamey movie review: Decent drama with a mix of fun and emotions

Movie: Manamey
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Sharwanand, Krithi Shetty, Vikram Adittya, Vennela Kishore, Seerat Kapoor 
Director: Sriram Adithya
Produced By:  TG Vishwa Prasad
Release Date: June 7th, 2024

Sriram Adithya’s Manamey starring Sharwanand and Krithi Shetty in lead roles is the latest Tollywood release of the week. While the film has not managed to create a massive buzz and expectations, the makers are hoping the initial talks will help the film get off a good start at the box-office. Let’s find out if the movie succeeded in capturing the audience’s attention or not.

Story:

Maname follows the life of Vikram (Sharwanand) a carefree youngster from London. Due to a cruel twist of fate he has to become a caretaker of the child of his friends who passed away in a road accident. He is joined by Subhadra (Kirthi Shetty) and the couple have to co-parent the child. Both Vikram and Subhadra are poles apart in terms of their approach to life. How they set aside their differences and whether they manage to successfully take care of the child amidst personality clashes is what the movie follows.

Performances:

Sharwanand has played similar characters many times in his career and he shines here as well. His comic timing as well performance in emotional scenes are a treat to watch. Krithi Shetty has got a meaty role and does justice to her portions as well. Apart from the lead pair, other characters like Seerat Kapoor, Ayesha Khan etc. have half-baked roles and make no difference to the movie.

Positives:

  • Lead actor’s performances
  • 1st half
  • Visuals and Music
  • Dialogues and entertainment

Negatives:

  • Weak emotions
  • 2nd Half
  • Lengthy and unnecessary filler scenes
  • Predictable story and screenplay

Verdict:

Manamey starts well and provides a good balance of entertainment, comedy and drama in the first half. Sharwanand manages to shoulder the movie despite weak writing in parts. But it’s the second half where the same flow gets disturbed and might test the audience’s patience. Overall, it’s a decent watch if you’re in the mood for some lighthearted fun and family drama.

Kalki 2898 AD: 6 shows in Andhra Pradesh

Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD is inching towards its release and pan-India promotions have started getting intense. After the recent reveal of Bujji- the car, an animated series B & B: Bujji and Bhairava was released on Amazon Prime Video. The buzz for the movie is slowly picking up on a pan-India level.

To capitalize on this, the makers have planned the trailer launch on June 10th. The trailer will be launched in multiple languages while the film is scheduled to hit the screens the world over on 27th June.

Coming to the release, the Kalki 2898 AD team is planning to screen 6 shows in Andhra Pradesh. This is a result of government change and Aswini Dutt being close to Chandrababu Naidu. Since no restrictions are expected to be on shows and tickets, the benefit shows prices are also expected to be in the range of 300, to 500.

This has come as a huge boost for the makers especially considering Telangana exhibitors’ recent decision to stop the mid-night shows. We now need to see what plan Aswini Dutt and co. chalk out in Telangana.
