0

Following the current trend of sequels and two parts’ films, the makers of ‘Devara’ have chosen to make it in two parts. In a video today, Koratala Siva, the director of the film, announced that it will be distributed in two parts as the film’s canvas is getting bigger, and it needs to be made in two parts.

The movie Devara, which features NTR as the hero, is currently in production. The film’s shooting is already underway. In April 2024, the first installment of Devara will be released in theaters as announced by the makers.

Koratala said, “The film is set in the backdrop of the forgotten lands of coastal India. The canvas is too big. As we started shooting, the film got bigger and bigger. Every character in the film has its own weight, which needs to be explored and established in detail. We can’t justify it in one part. Hence, we decided to tell this story in two parts.”

Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor plays the lead actress in the movie, while Saif Ali Khan plays the antagonist against NTR. Hari Krishna K and Mikkilineni Sudhakar are producing this movie under the NTR Arts and Yuva Sudha Arts banners. The film has its music composed by Anirudh Ravichander.

Skanda sees a significant drop on its first working day

0

Boyapati Sreenu and Ram Pothineni’s mass action entertainer Skanda was released on last weekend and received mixed response from the audiences. Being a mass film, Skanda had received somewhat better numbers over the weekend, but the film saw a significant drop on its first working day.

After a very ordinary holiday weekend, the movie completely crashed on the 1st working day by collecting a very negligible share. The 6th day share of the film is less than 50L, which tells that the movie is heading towards a big failure at the box office. For Breakeven the movie has to collect close to another 25Cr share yet and looking at the trend there is no possibility for this to happen, and the buyers are expected to be end up with heavy losses.

The movie’s music was composed by S Thaman. Srinivasaa Chitturi produced Skanda under the banner of Srinivasaa Silver Screen, making it the most expensive movie for Ram. The movie features Sree Leela as the female lead, and Saiee Manjrekar will play a crucial role. The movie presented by ZEE Studios South and Pavan Kumar features Santosh Detake as the cinematographer. Editing is handled by Tammiraju.

Skanda has had a Pan India release on September 28th in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi languages.

Boyapati Srinu’s poor portrayal of government officials receives backlash

0

Boyapati Srinu’s Skanda is facing severe criticism for its screenplay and routine plot. This has been a core issue for Boyapati where apart from his collaborations with Balakrishna, not much is working out. Except for Sarrainodu, none of his recent non-Balayya movies have managed to create any impact at the box office.

Another massive criticism that the action director is facing is about how he takes the audience for granted. In the name of creative liberty and packing commercial elements, over-exaggeration is normalized. One of the main reasons for Skanda’s negative talk is the way he showcased the Chief Ministers of Telugu states and police departments were depicted. Even in Akhanda for example, Pragya Jaiswal’s IAS character was a part of some outlandish scenes.

Coming to Skanda, putting two Chief Ministers in a silly conflict was not well accepted by the audience. In addition to this, the way he showed Chief Ministers in the climax looked too unnatural.

At least now Boyapati Srinu should learn lessons and understand how to balance commercial elements and reality. While taking certain creative liberty is a part of making mass entertainers, doing so in extremes will only make the characters look silly.
