Kushi team made a costly mistake that lost them crores

0

Nowadays, the pre-release hype and a proper release date have become very crucial for any film’s success. Either a film should contain enormous craze or it should be released on such a date which benefits from a good holiday weekend. Sadly, Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha’s latest romantic family entertainer Kushi missed a good release date. The film’s team made a costly mistake that lost them crores.

The team of Kushi selected a bad release date where the film does not enjoy any public holiday. If the film had been released on festival weekend it would have definitely done well, especially in Andhra Pradesh and Nizam. The holiday push which could raise the numbers at the box office was missed by the film’s team.

Kushi had a better run in Nizam, still the film movie collapsed after a good weekend. Even getting breakeven looks impossible now in this region. In Andhra, the movie has faced massive losses, projected around 40%-50%. While the movie’s performance has been extremely unsatisfactory, Kushi’s makers are working hard to project it as a success through inflated numbers and success meets.

Kushi also stars Murali Sharma, Jayaram, Sachin Khedekar, Saranya Pradeep, and Vennela Kishore in crucial roles. It is a pan-India release with it hitting the screens in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. Fans were eager to catch Vijay in a romantic role after a long time and with Samantha’s presence, there was greater curiosity as to how this pair will look on screen, but Shiva Nirvana’s narration and the film’s dip in tempo in the second half made the audience feel detached.

Hero Nikhil Siddhartha constantly tries to give his best for his movies. The actor who doesn’t like to be in his comfort zone pushes himself hard to play challenging roles. He will be undergoing an incredible training session for his next Pan India film, Swayambhu.

Some of the biggest stunt masters and teams in Saigon will be part of the team and train him for the action sequences for Swayambhu.

Nikhil will also undergo a physical makeover as well. The actor indeed looked flawless as a legendary warrior in the first look poster. It is definitely the most challenging role thus far for Nikhil.

Bharat Krishnamachari will direct the movie, which marks the milestone 20th movie for Nikhil and also the most expensive one for the actor. Bhuvan and Sreekar will produce the movie under Pixel Studios, with Tagore Madhu presenting it.

Swayambhu will be mounted with top technical standards. Manoj Paramahamsa helms the cinematography, while Ravi Basrur scores the music. M Prabhaharan is the production designer and the dialogues for the movie are provided by Vasudev Muneppagari.

0

This week saw the release of Shahrukh Khan’s Bollywood biggie Jawaan and Ms Shetty Mr Polishetty starring Naveen Polishetty and Anushka Shetty.

Both movies have received good reports from early shows. While Ms Shetty Mr Polishetty is a complete romantic entertainer with a heavy dose of comedy, its lack of emotion is something the audience felt disconnected from. Naveen Polishetty’s great comic timing and fresh performance combined with good visuals and a fresh concept have been well received. The film has managed to create some intrigue thanks to its fresh look and unique casting. With Anushka appearing on screen after 3 years, everyone’s curious how this film has come out

Atlee’s Jawan is an out-and-out mass entertainer quite on lines with Shankar’s vigilante action dramas. The commercial elements have come out really well and Atlee’s grand vision and Anirudh’s roaring BGM combined with King Khan’s unmatched screen presence and performance have succeeded in delivering a successful mass entertainer. Jawan is expected to get off to a record box-office opening and a positive word of mouth and superb occupancies for coming shows mean that excellent weekend numbers are on the cards.

Movie: Jawan
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Deepika Padukone, Sunil Grover
Director: Atlee
Produced By: Gauri Khan
Release Date: 7th September 2023

Story: Vikram Rathod (Shah Rukh Khan) puts the lives of 376 passengers at risk while hijacking a metro train. Narmada (Nayanthara) is the lady officer who negotiates with him successfully but fails to catch him. But Vikram does not stop there, as he is on a mission to tell something to the society. Meanwhile, Azad (also SRK) and Narmada fall for each other. Kalee Gaikwad (Vijay Sethupathi), an arms dealer, has a past connection with Vikram Rathod. What is the backstory of Vikram and Kalee? Who is Aishwarya? Will Vikram be successful in his mission? Answers to these questions form the rest of the story.

Performances: Shah Rukh Khan gives a complete one-man show in the film. Right from start to end, he mesmerizes with his enchanting screen presence and one liners in the dual role. Vijay Sethupathi was good and entertained in villain role. Deepika Padukone was effective in a small yet vital role. Nayanthara was Good while Priyamani, Sunil Grover, Sanya Malhotra and others were fine. 

Positives:

  • Shah Rukh Khan’s performance
  • Anirudh’s Background Score
  • Fights and elevation scenes

Negatives:

  • Routine Plot
  • Weak flashback

Verdict:

Overall, Jawan is a well-made mass movie with enough entertainment packed with grand taking. Shah Rukh Khan’s performance, Anirudh’s BGM, action sequences work well for the film, while the tried and tested storyline and some dull moments around the flashback are minus points. 

Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty review: Naveeen Polishetty excels in this unique entertainer

0

Movie: Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Naveen Polishetty, Anushka, Jayasudha, Murali Sharma
Director: Mahesh Babu P
Produced By: UV Creations
Release Date: 7th September 2023

Anushka Shetty’s grand comeback film ‘Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty’ co-starring Naveen Polishetty in the lead role has released today. The film has managed to create some intrigue thanks to its fresh look and unique casting. With Anushka appearing on screen after 3 years, everyone’s curious how this film has come out. Let’s find out.

Story: The plot is about Anvita (Anushka) an independent woman with strong opposition to companionship and marriage. While she is against the concept of a romantic relationship, she is equally up for having a child. What happens when her path crosses with Siddhu (Naveen Polishetty) a stand-up comedian who’s poles apart in his approach to life is what the story follows.

Performances: Naveen Polishetty is the soul of the movie and quite ably shoulders the proceedings and even saves it from weak writing in parts. His pleasant screen presence and impeccable comic timing are major assets to this romantic entertainer. He successfully transitions from one mood to another with terrific ease and balances the emotions quite well. Anushka Shetty is as dependable as ever and portrays a strong independent woman with great elegance and ease. Anushka has once again proven why she’s regarded as one of the finest. Other actors like Jayasudha, Murali Sharma, Abhinav Gomatam have roles that we have seen them perform several times. And just like ever they are dependable.

Positives:

  • Naveen Polishetty & Anushka’s performances
  • Comedy scenes
  • Core concept
  • Cinematography

Negatives:

  • Slow start
  • Music
  • Lack of lead pair chemistry
  • Poor writing in parts

Verdict: Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty has a pretty contemporary and ‘A centre’ focussed plot which has been handled pretty well. It’s freshness in casting and visuals will certainly help you in connecting with the lead characters well. Naveen and Anushka’s performance and entertainment quotient aside, the film starts to crumble due to some weak scenes and screenplay. Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty is a great watch nevertheless if you are bored of routine entertainers and want to feel and enjoy something fresh.
