Story: Srimathi (Nitya Menen) and her uncle Keshava Rao (Prem Sagar) are involved in a feud for ancestral property in a village called Ramaraju Lanka. Srimathi made a promise to her grandfather during her childhood that she would never sell the house. Keshava Rao presents a fake will in the court, stating that his father transferred the property to his name long ago. He is also into a sale deed with another party to sell the house, but the court rejects it because it is an ancestral property.

The court allows Srimathi to purchase the house and gives her six months to arrange the funds required for that. Srimathi, who works as a chef, earns a very low salary. With the advice of Sriram (Nirupam) who is her neighbour she decides to start a business and put a bar and restaurant in her village. The rest of the story is all about how Srimathi gets successful in her attempt of chasing the dreams.

Performances: Nitya Menen’s performance in this comedy drama was superb Though there are many actors in the series, Nitya stands out with her impeccable performance. Gautami gave a natural performance in the mother role while Prem Sagar was also good as the comical antagonist. Nirupam and Thiruveer were good while Talluri Rameshwari, Praneetha Patnaik, Akshay Lagusani and others were apt.

Positives:

  • Nithya Menen’s Performance
  • Entertainment

The performance of Nitya Menen, the entertaining moments and dialogues work well while some boring parts and the pacing issues at times do not work for it. Overall, Kumari Srimathi is an enjoyable series for a weekend binge-watch.

Makers are using Pan India term solely for non-theatrical business purposes

Films like Baahubali 2, KGF2, RRR, Kantara, and Pushpa have been massive hits on the pan-India level. While these films got the actors immense stardom across the country, they have put the lead Heros under enormous pressure. The heroes now have a massive responsibility of keeping up the momentum and making the right choice for the next project.

The trend of pan-India is not just limited to tier-1 heroes. We have seen heroes like Nani, Nikhil, Vijay Deverakonda, and Ram among others giving a shot at pan-India films. While pan-India films are a great idea to reach a wider audience, there’s something uncanny happening with several of these films of late.

As we can see, recently each and every film unit is claiming that their project is a pan-India film. But when it comes to release, the makers are not even doing a promotion in other languages and not even worrying about theatrical business. Looks like for most of the films the makers are now using pan-India term just to close the digital rights and satellite rights for a higher price.

Rajinikanth made the best decision by not signing Chandramukhi 2

When the thought of Chandramukhi 2 was conceived, director P Vasu had only Rajinikanth in mind. In fact, the discussion of casting Rajinikanth in the Chandramukhi sequel happened multiple times. However, Rajinikanth continuously refused to be a part of the sequel and had no hesitation in turning it down.

This was when Raghava Lawrence was brought on board to replace the mighty Superstar in this sequel. Even though Lawrence is a specialist in doing horror comedy films, everyone had their doubts right when the project was announced. These concerns over the project’s viability became stronger during promotions and teasers. And now after the release the film is heading towards losses in Telugu and performing average in Tamil.

The audience felt it was just unnecessary to make a Chandramukhi sequel and this film is nowhere near to 1st part. The team has spoiled the Chandramukhi brand and Rajini fans are breathing a sigh of relief at their star refusing this film. Had Rajinikanth worked on this film, then the entire momentum and high of the blockbuster Jailer would have been smashed and the veteran star would have faced heavy criticism.

“The reason I chose this tough decision is because, as a fan of Ram Charan, I have been waiting patiently for the release date of the upcoming film “Game Changer” for almost two years now. Unfortunately, there are no updates from the production team. I am giving them three days to announce the release date of the film. Otherwise, I will end my life. If that happens, the main victims of my death are Shankar Shanmugam, Dil Raju and SVC production house. I hope you will be able to understand my decision. Love you Charan anna, I miss you very much. I hope I will be a good fan of you in my next life” says Babu Goud in the letter. It remains to be seen if there will be any updates from the Game Changer with this shocking letter from fans.
