Tamil Film Producers Association Impose A Ban On Vishal’s Films!

Vishal, a notable actor of Tamil cinema, is having a tough phase in his life; this time, it’s not because of his films’ performance but because of his alleged involvement in a corruption scandal worth INR 12 crore.

For those not aware, Vishal has been working as the president of the Tamil Film Producers Council since 2017. Lately, multiple producers of Kollywood have accused the actor for misuse of funds during his tenure. As a response to it, the council has decided to boycott his films by not funding them.

Within no time, the actor has responded to these allegations on Twitter, where he refused to accept the alleged corruption scandal. He went on to say that despite the imposed ban, Vishal will continue to do films. The TFPC is yet to respond to this counter.

Deadpool & Wolverine: India Day-1 Estimates Are Out!

The Deadpool series from the highly successful Marvel Studios has enjoyed great success at the box office. Known for their strong language and rib-tickling comedy, this superhero was loved across the globe.

The third feature film in the franchise, titled ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is now in cinemas. Released amidst high expectations, it received positive reviews upon release with high praise for the performances and humor. In India, the film enjoyed good advance bookings and is expected to post a first-day gross of INR 20-22 crore.

The film underperfromed in the Hindi belt due to heavy rains in Mumbai and Delhi. However, considering its word-of-mouth, Deadpool & Wolverine is expected to mint a lifetime gross of INR 75 crore. The film stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in their iconic superhero roles.

Five Years For Vijay-Rashmika’s Classic Dear Comrade!

Dear Comrade (2019) was a romantic drama film starring Vijay Devarakonda and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles. Written and directed by debutant Bharat Kamma, the film carried tremendous hype since it starred the duo after the blockbuster Geetha Govindam (2018).

Upon release, the film received mixed-to-negative reviews, with many criticizing its slow pace; however, the performances of the cast, the chemistry between the duo, and Justin Prabhakaran’s music received applause. Despite posting good opening numbers, Dear Comrade underperformed at the box office and ended as a failure.

But over the years, the film received some cult following and emerged as a fan favorite for audiences across languages. Just like Ram Charan’s Orange (2010), Dear Comrade too falls in the list of underrated classics. The film is also notable since it marked the last feature film appearance of Vijay & Rashmika.

Raayan movie review: A gangster drama with few moments to cherish

Movie: Raayan
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast: Dhanush, SJ Suryah, Selvaraghavan, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Selva Raghavan, Prakash Raj, Aparna Balamurali, Kalidas Jayaram and Sundeep Kishan
Director:  Dhanush
Produced By:  Kalanithi Maran
Release Date: July 26th, 2024

Dhanush’s landmark 50th film Raayan has managed to create positive buzz due to its intriguing trailer and other promotional content. Positive bookings and anticipation to see Dhanush as a director for the second time in his career have created some curiosity in Raayan. Does the film have enough to pack a punch and make this project a success? Let’s find out.

Story:

Kaartavaraayan (Dhanush), Muthuvelaraayan (Sundeep Kishan), and Maanikyaraayan (Kalidas Jayaram) lead a normal life like regular youngsters. Their lives turn upside down when Muthu gets into a brawl with a local don (Sarvanan). Apart from Sarvanan, Sethuram (SJ Suryah), another gangster also enters their lives which turns it all upside down. What Raayan does next and what’s in store for him are what the movie follows.

Performances:

Dhanush is a pro at this genre and carries the role of a regular youngster and a man entering the crime world with equal conviction. Raayan character has been carefully stitched by Dhanush himself to match his mannerisms and body language and Dhanush looks extremely natural throughout. Kalidas Jayaram and Sundeep Kishan play a solid fiddle to Dhanush. SJ Suryah once again gives a performance that stands out and is phenomenal. He breathes life into Sethuram’s character.

Analysis:

Brotherhood of the trio and their relationship is a key aspect of Raayan and Dhanush ensures all the characters get good space and the film is not just about him. While the film takes its own time to get off the mark, the dullness of pace is fairly compensated by solid action blocks and AR Rahman’s BGM. Dhanush the director comes of age but Dhanush, the writer falters in several places due to slow screenplay and predictability.

Positives:

  • ⁠Dhanush’s performance
  • Action scenes
  • AR Rahman’s BGM
  • Casting

Negatives:

  • Slow narration
  • Predictability
  • Emotional scenes
  • Dragged second half

Verdict:

Raayan is a total feast for action lovers and Dhanush fans. However, the film might test your patience at times and might keep you asking for more once the action sequences end. The movie presents three versions of Dhanush- the director, the actor, and the writer. He succeeds in the first two departments but falls short in the most crucial department which is the third one.

Unpopular Opinion: Kalki 2898 AD Is Overrated!

Nag Aswhin’s sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD is undoubtedly a massive money spinner. Though the figures released by the makers are exaggerated, this Prabhas-starrer is a sure-shot winner at the box office with an estimated gross of INR 1000 crore worldwide. But for a second, let’s put these figures aside and think about it: Is the film really that good? Can you place it next to the legendary Bahubali series? If you’re feeling skeptical while answering this question, you’re at the right place.

Thanks to the extensive promotions from the team, Kalki 2898 AD, the film carried enormous hype before release. It could be because of this that it could satisfy a big chunk of the audience entirely. While the film must be appreciated for its technical finesse and outstanding visual effects, the writing is below par and the narration is flat, without any buildup.

Even Nag Ashwin acknowledges during interaction with media that there were shortcomings and mistakes in the film some of which they already knew and some they didn’t expect.

Particularly in the first half, there’s hardly any high moment in the film. Additionally, the characters are poorly written, and the worldbuilding is unclear, to say the least. Although the film performed exceptionally well in urban centers, few of these shortcomings affected its reach to the masses. Admittedly, the second half was much better, and needless to say, the climax saved the day. All in all, Vyjayanthi Movies must be lauded for their ambitious approach to cinema; in terms of writing, screenplay, and direction, Kalki 2898 is underwhelming.

Double Ismart: 150 crore overall business

Double Ismart, sequel to the blockbuster, Ismart Shankar is under shoot. The team has already released two lyrical songs alongwith the teaser which generated great buzz. Now, Double Ismart is also doing massive business thanks to the promotional activity. Double Ismart overall business is reported to be around 150 crores which is sensational.

The theatrical rights of Double Ismart are valued at 54 crores worldwide and Audio Rights were bagged for 9 crores. Entire South Indian digital rights are bought by Amazon Prime Video for 33 crores. There is also a big demand for satellite rights of Hindi Version and Hindi OTT as well. South Indian language versions OTT rights also are under demand. All these take the overall business of Double Ismart to nearly 150 crores.

This is really huge for Double Ismart and also a big relief for both Puri Jagannadh and Ram. Both have witnessed big flops in the form of Liger and Skanda previously. Now, they hope to bounce back big with Double Ismart. The film has all chances to become a blockbuster as well. If the film disappoints then it would be big trouble for both Puri and Ram. Let’s see what happens after the film’s release. Double Ismart is scheduled for release on August 15th.

Teja Sajja’s next based on King Ashoka

Tollywood Actor, Teja Sajja recently scored a big blockbuster in the form of Hanuman. The film was directed by Prashant Varma which released on Sankranthi season and became a Pan India Blockbuster. It grossed nearly 300 crores worldwide which was a phenomenal performance for a least budgeted film. Now Teja Sajja’s next film is said to be based on King Ashoka’s Life story.

The film is tentatively titled Mirai and will be made on a big scale budget Pan India film. The film will also feature Tollywood Actor, Manchu Manoj. He will be making a comeback after a big break from the films. The film, as said is based on King Ashoka and his Life story. There is no information regarding on who will be playing his character. It is also rumoured that Teja Sajja might play King Ashoka’s role but there is no clarity yet. Manchi Manoj’s Character in the film is also not known.

Teja Sajja may witness a good hit if the film works out as he attained a recognition with his previous blockbuster, Hanuman. This is also the reason why this film is made as a Pan India project. The film will go on floors soon and may eye next year festive seasons.
