Jaragandi Song: Thaman and Shankar Deliver a Major Disappointment

0

Jaragandi, the first single of Ram Charan’s upcoming political action thriller Game Changer is out. The song was released on the occasion of Ram Charan’s birthday and the fans have been eagerly waiting for this song for quite some time. Packed with colourful visuals in the tunes of SS Thaman, Jaragandi is a duet featuring Charan and Kiara Advani.

Unfortunately, the song failed to meet the expectations. There were huge hopes on this single as Shankar is known for delivering his best in songs. For every song, the budget is in the range of 10 -15 Cr and the massive budget meant that the makers have a lot of confidence in the content. While visually, the song looks quite colorful, the tunes and composition have let the fans down big time.

The tunes are not catchy and even the lyrics by Anantha Sriram sound quite outdated. The low energy and beats of the song limited even Daler Mehendi and Sunidhi Chauhan who have churned out a number of hits in Telugu earlier.

It’s really surprising and many are questioning why such a huge set was erected for a song as simple as this. Crores of money and unimaginable effort have been spent on this set and visuals. But the choreography by Prabhu Deva and tunes by Thaman were a huge letdown. There are no catchy dance moments or any repeat value in the song. If only such effort had been put into tunes and lyrics instead of sets and visuals, we would have received a chartbuster on Ram Charan’s birthday.

Dasara managed to gross 100 crores worldwide making it his first film to do so. But The film underperformed in AP. His recent release Hi Nanna too ended up being average but did well on Netflix. It needs to be seen how these upcoming films come out.

Family Star’s Songs Fail to Recreate the Magic

0

Vijay Deverakonda’s Family Star is all set to release on 5th April and the unit has started their aggressive promotions. This is the second film in the Parasuram and Vijay Deverakonda combination after Geetha Govindam. This time they are joined by Mrunal Thakur who is having a great time at the Tollywood box office thanks to her hits in the form of Sita Ramam and Hi Nanna. So naturally there are heavy expectations on this project. Unfortunately, the songs released so far haven’t managed to live up to the fan’s expectations.

Geetha Govindam’s audio is one of the main reasons for the film’s massive success and record box office numbers. Inkem Inkem Kavale song was one of the highest trending songs of Telugu cinema.

With Parasuram and Vijay Deverakonda joining hands for Family Star, none of the songs have managed to reach that level. Three songs have been released only the first song Nandanandanan worked decently. The other songs Kalyani Vaccha Vaccha and Madhuramu Kadha have not managed to impress the audience.

Kalyani Vachha Vaccha received several trolls and many claimed this song by Gopi Sunder is a mash-up of several Tollywood hit numbers. The third song which was released recently is the weakest song of these three. The songs are the main reason for the film’s low buzz unless and now all depends on the trailer.

One major plus point for the film is the release date which falls in the summer season and continuous festival holidays like Ugadi and Eid following the release. However, a positive buzz about the movie is much needed for Family Star to receive solid collections. In the absence of positive buzz and a good trailer, everything will now depend on the positive reviews and word of mouth.

Malayalam Film, Manjummel Boys has created a sensation. The film with a lesser-known cast and budget managed to gross more than 200 crores gross worldwide. It is also the highest-grossing film in the Mollywood officially beating 2018, Lucifer and Puli Murugan. The film is still running in the theatres.

There is news circulating on social media regarding the streaming date of Manjummel Boys on the OTT platforms. Some people claim that the film will be streaming from April 5th and are also speculating on some other dates. But all these have been denied by the Producer who says that this is false news. Manjummel Boys is only released in the Malayalam language. Audiences across the country still didn’t watch the film in their languages. So the producer and team are thinking about releasing the film in other languages. This would postpone the OTT streaming date further. The OTT rights are bought by Disney+Hotstar already.

Manjummel Boys is still running strong in Kerala and overseas markets as well. The film may end up collecting 250 crores gross worldwide. This is a phenomenal performance considering the lower budget and star cast the film has. The film’s performance is also an indication of appreciation for the good content.

The Fans and Audiences are eagerly waiting for an update about the film. Finally, their wait has ended.

Director Boyapati Sreenu and Allu Arjun collaborated for the film, Sarrainodu which was a big hit in the actor’s career. The film was produced by Allu Aravind under Geetha Arts Banner. The film managed to collect 127 crores gross worldwide. Audience became excited when the director and Producer came together to collaborate again for a film.

A poster was also released with both the director and producer announcing that they will be officially collaborating. Everyone thought this film would be with either Allu Arjun, Balakrishna, or Suriya. Suriya has many films in the pipeline. Allu Arjun too is busy with Pushpa and also planning a film with Atlee. So audience felt that the film would be with Balakrishna. But Actor Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu are working under the 14 Reels banner for a film. So it is official that Boyapati Sreenu chose 14 Plus banner for a film with Balakrishna as the lead.

This happened for the second time for Allu Aravind. The first time was with Parasuram who promised to do a film for him but went to Dil Raju compound for Family Star starring Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur. However, Allu Aravind or his team is yet to respond about the issue.
