Story: Anthony (Sriram) travels to Suklapet with his mother, wife Mary (Kushi), and two children, Sophie (Leisha Surampudi) and Tara (Chaitra Peddi), after landing a position as an accountant in a rice mill. Mary, his wife, is expecting another kid. A few days later, the family encounters strange incidents and suspects a ghostly presence. Tara gets possessed by the ghost and puts her life in danger. Annamma (Eashwari Rao), an exorcist, tries to help them. Who is the spirit in the house? What is the backstory of the house? Did Tara get saved? Answers to these questions form the rest of the story.

Performances: Sriram looked good, and his performance in emotional scenes was good. Kushi was fine. The performance of the two children, Leisha Surampudi and Chaitra Peddi, was excellent. Ishwari Rao was perfect in the most crucial character of the movie. Avrasala Srinivas, Ravi Varma and others were ok.

Positives:

  • Backstory in the second half
  • Pre – Climax
  • Background Score
  • Child Artists’ performance

Negatives:

  • Dull First Half
  • Not so exciting scares/ Horror moments
  • Predictable narrative

Pindam Movie Review and Verdict:

Pindam Movie is a typical horror thriller with a few striking moments. Arresting and spine-chilling backstory, pre-climax, few emotional scenes, and background score work well for the movie, whereas dull proceedings in the first half, and predictable narrative apart from the flashback work against it. Horror genre lovers can watch the film with little expectation.

Vijay Deverakonda has succeeded, while Nani struggles to establish a market in other languages.

Both these stars did plenty of promotional activities in other languages. While Vijay Deverakonda has succeeded, Nani struggles to establish a market in other languages.

Geetha Govindam brought other languages market for Vijay Deverakonda

Vijay Deverakonda with Geetha Govindam has created a good brand in Tamil Nadu. Afterward, he made a film NOTA with a Tamil director and producer. The film’s content failed, so it did not get many bigger numbers at the Tamil box office.

Thereafter, with Dear comrade, he tried another Pan Indian attempt and the film failed in all languages. Under the direction of Puri Jagannath, Vijay Deverakonda made Liger and tried to score success in Hindi. The movie opened better than expectations and collected 20Cr net even with disastrous content.

Recently, Vijay Deverakonda’s Kushi also failed in Telugu, but it worked well in Tamil, and it has collected more than 10Cr Gross there. Content wise, Vijay’s recent movies did not work well, but he succeeded in establishing his brand and if the content in his films work positively, then definitely he will get good numbers from other languages.

Nani’s struggle in other languages

On the other hand, Nani is also trying to get market in other languages like Vijay Deverakonda, and he is delivering good content and always participates in aggressive promotions, but he is not getting the market that he expected. Nani’s films like Shyam Singha Roy, Ante Sundaraniki, Dasara, and latest Hi Nanna have been released in multiple languages and the content of all the films was also good, but still, the audiences are not coming to the theaters.

So the bottom line is Vijay Deverakonda has succeeded, but Nani still struggles to establish a market in other languages.

0

Vijay Deverakonda’s Family Star was initially planned for Sankranthi 2024 with 14th January, 2024 as its release date. Dil Raju tried a lot to bring this film for Sankranthi but due to USA visa issues for shooting and Parusram’s insistence on not releasing the film in a hurry moved the film to a summer release. Mahesh Babu, Ravi Teja, and Nagarjuna are other big stars in the Sankranthi lineup

Nagarjuna was also quite keen on getting his film Naa Saami Ranga to release only for Sankranthi. He did not want to move the film to any other date as he wants to deliver a blockbuster and felt Sankranthi season would deliver that for sure. Naa Saami Ranga seems to be a good commercial package with a star cast also featuring Allari Naresh and Raj Tarun among others.

Naa Saami Ranga team has started the promotions and released the first single and heroine’s character intro. Allari Naresh’s intro song will be released tomorrow. The team is shooting the film without any gap to release for Sankranthi 2024 without fail. The makers of Naa Saami Ranga have picked Family Star’s release date of 14th January. It should also be noted that the last release in the festival days has a good advantage and Nagarjuna and co. are trying to capitalize on this.

Ramajogaiah Sastry was frustrated with Oh My Baby Song’s response, and he senselessly lashed out at Mahesh Babu fans. It is widely known that the second single from Mahesh Babu and Trivikram’s Guntur Kaaram, Oh My Baby was released yesterday and received a mixed /below par response. The fans did not like the song and even audiences fired on both lyrics and music. Ramajogaiah Sastry was frustrated with Oh My Baby Song’s response, and he senselessly lashed out at Mahesh Babu fans.

Mahesh fans negative trend for Oh My Baby

Mahesh fans even did a negative campaign on Thaman on Twitter after the song’s release and heavily criticized the lyrics written by Ramajogaiah Sastry. The song did not appeal to many, and it gave a feel like Thaman changed his old tune a bit and delivered a mediocre output. Ramajogaiah Sastry, Thaman and producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi were trolled and abused on social media. The trollers have been on the same mission since yesterday. Lyricist Ramajogauah Sastry was angry with this. He lashed out at those who made such comments.

“Social media is going to DOGS, people who do not know a thing abt the process…think that they can comment and judge…with all d ill intentions…of spreading hate…targeting the technicians…NO…NOT at all good. Somebody has to talk… These people are crossing the lines” said Ramajogaiah Sastry.

The writer should understand that both appreciations and criticism are common on social media. It is the fans and audience verdict that matters the most. If they like the lyrics they will give massive appreciation and if they do not like then the same fans will criticize heavily.

As Ramajogaiah Sastry was frustrated with Oh My Baby Song’s response, andhe senselessly lashed out at Mahesh Babu fans, some people supported him, but many people trolled him in reverse.
