Will Pawan Kalyan join the elite club with Bro The Avatar?

There is no need for a special introduction of Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s name to the Telugu cinephiles. He is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in the Telugu film industry, but still, Pawan Kalyan has not joined the 100 Crores share club at the box office. As of now, his career highest collected film is Bheemla Nayak with 91.3 Cr share worldwide. Now the question in everyone’s mind will Pawan Kalyan join the elite club of 100 Crores with his upcoming film, Bro The Avatar.

It is very well known that in the film Pawan Kalyan will appear in the second lead role in Samuthirakhani s Bro The Avatar. The film did around 110 Crores business worldwide, and it must join the elite club at 100 Crores for hit status. So now the fans and trade circles are curious to see whether Pawan Kalyan joins this club with this film or not.

Coming to the movie’s overall business, the trade for Andhra (6 Territories) has been closed for Rs 40Cr and Ceeded has fetched the makers Rs 14Cr. Coming to Nizam, the business is in the range of Rs 33Cr and the overall Telugu state’s business is approximately Rs 87Cr. The overseas rights have gone for Rs 13Cr and the rest of India is in the range of Rs 8Cr – Rs 9Cr. Overall, the movie needs to collect Rs 110Cr+ share to achieve the breakeven mark.

People Media Factory in association with ZEE Studios has produced this Pawan Kalyan and Sai Dharam Tej starrer, which will have the tunes of Thaman S. A remake of the Tamil fantasy drama- Vinodaya Sitham that starred Samuthirakani and Thambhi Ramaiah, this project has wrapped up its schedules pretty fast with Samuthirakani introducing some changes to match Pawan Kalyan’s star image. Brahmanandam, Rohini Molleti, Subbaraju, Tanikella Bharani, and Raja Chembolu are playing other important roles in Bro: The Avatar.

Surprisingly Prabhas’ Project K glimpse clocks very less views

Prabhas’s Project K which is now revealed to be Kalki 2898 AD has stunned everyone with its amazing glimpse full of grandeur and futuristic visuals. The teaser has lifted the expectations on the movie by tenfolds and has done major damage control done by the first look poster which was released a day ago. Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD has now achieved unanimous positive feedback and this must have come as a huge relief for the filmmakers.

Despite its international standard visuals and breathtaking production design, the glimse hasn’t exactly set the views record on fire. This is a huge surprise as quality wise the Kalki 2898 AD glimpse was miles ahead of many that released in recent times.

It recorded around 11M views in 24 hours which is very low for even a star hero regional glimpse. This was a pan-India film that was expected to have a much wider reach and the views are shocking considering just a few days back Salaar’s glimpse was released and it created new benchmarks and records with 80M views.

The film has managed to create massive hype right from the day it was announced. With an amazing starcast featuring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and the recent addition of Kamal Haasan, the film has surely become the most awaited film in India right now.

Apart from being a star director, Trivikram also knows how to use his brand, and he does not shy away from being pakka commercial.

Normally, most of the directors in the Telugu film industry will make their own films and take the remuneration for the same, and they would rather not be involved in the other activities like film production and mentoring the other directors.

A few directors have been the part of production of their films, and generally, they take the profits in the films’ collections instead of the remuneration. But Trivikram is in a completely in different league as he is sharing the profits of his own directorial movies and taking big amount as a remuneration for other films where he is working as a dialogue and screenplay writer.

Not only that, but Trivikram has entered into production as well. Trivikram is being a part of the small or medium scale movies with Sitara entertainment’s partnership. For the upcoming film of director Bobby are Nandamuri Balakrishna’s film, Trivikram is one of the producers.

Her Chapter 1 Review: A Regular Thriller that neither stuns nor disappoints

Movie: Her Chapter 1
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast: Ruhani Sharma, Vikas Vashista, Sanjay Swaroop, Pradeep Rudra, Vinod Varma, Jeevan, Ravi Varma
Director: Sreedhar Swaraghav
Produced By: RaghuSankuratri and Deepa Sankuratri
Release Date: 21st July 2023

Story: Near the outskirts of Hyderabad, the Police find two dead bodies and later they get to know the details of those dead people named Vishal Pasupuleti and Swathi. Police Officer Archana Prasad (Ruhani Sharma), who is back from her six-month suspension, is assigned to solve the case. Very soon, Archana finds out more details about Vishal and Swathi’s Personal lives. The weapon used to murder Swathi and Vishal has a personal connection with Archana. What is it? Who killed Vishal and Swathi? Did Archana solve the murder mystery? Answers to these questions form the rest of the story.

Analysis: Director Sreedhar Swaraghav does not waste much time and gets into the story right from the starting point. Though he follows the set pattern of investigative thrillers, the proceedings lack the required excitement or intrigue. However the interval block is well-designed, and it generates curiosity about the second half. As said above, the investigative parts are routine and stale, not creating excitement. While the second half consists of a few sequences which look captivating, the final moments fail to deliver a strong punch.

Moreover, the exact reason why murders are committed is something that disappoints greatly, and adding to that the way it is revealed is another weak link. The movie doesn’t have proper emotional backing as the love track that features Ruhani and Vikas Vashista is very ordinary. The romance track could have been more accurately depicted to give the film the emotional depth it needed.  Despite having a sequel, the first part of this movie fails to generate enough interest to wait for the second installment. Her Chapter 1’s antagonist is also not well-portrayed, and the actor who did that character was not suited well to it. 

Performances: Ruhani Sharma was very good and she showed what she can do if she is given an opportunity to lead a film. The Other actors such as Vikas Vashista, Sanjay Swaroop, Pradeep Rudra, Vinod Varma, and Ravi Varma were ok while Jeevan made his presence felt due to a few funny dialogues.

Plus Points:

  • Ruhani Sharma’s Performance
  • Interval Episode
  • Few gripping scenes in second half

Minus Points:

  • Routine story
  • Lifeless romance track
  • Climax

Verdict:

Her Chapter 1 aims to be a proper investigative thriller and it does succeed in parts. Though the predictability in the narration and an underwhelming finale are minus points of the movie, the honest performance of Ruhani Sharma and a few well handled twists and sequences work well for the movie. One can watch the movie with fewer expectations.
