Actress Krithi Shetty has quickly made a career in the South Indian Cinema. She is a favorite among the fans and industry circles as well. However, similar to many heroines, along with her success, some rumors around Krithi have also increased. Recently, a statement was circulated as hers. Now the actress made everything clear. Krithi Shetty went on her social media account to deny the rapid news being reported on her.

In the last few days, there has been a rumor that Krithi Shetty may have made some comments when she was supposedly speaking to the media. It was falsely reported that the actress had revealed that she had been harassed by the son of a star hero. Rumors even claimed that the hero’s son followed her non-stop wherever she went. Furthermore, the false allegations claimed that the star son called Krithi everywhere and that he wanted her to always accompany him wherever he went.

Now, the Uppena actress has spoken about the fake news and rumors. She took to her social media platform and stated that these reports were false and that she had never said anything of this sort.

The actress wrote, “Please stop cooking up stories and spreading wrong information.” Further, elaborating her side, she added, “Thought I’d ignore this since it’s such a baseless rumor, but it is getting blown out of proportion.” From the statement that the actress put out, it was clear that she was only explaining herself as the rumors were getting out of hand.

Tollywood’s latest good thriller, Chakravyuham starring Ajay in the lead role, is now streaming on OTT on Amazon Prime Video. Touted to be a murder mystery thriller, the movie has made its OTT debut. Directed by Madhusudan, the film stars newcomers and upcoming actors along with Ajay.

Apart from Ajay, the film also stars Gyaneshwari Kandrangula, Vivek Trivedi and Urvashi Pardeshi in the lead roles. The film, which was released in theaters on June 2, had garnered decent talk from the audiences but failed to make a good impact at the box office. The film was released in the theaters by Mythri Movie Makers. A month after its theatrical release, the film has come to OTT.

Ajay played the role of a CI named Satya in the film. Sanjay is a businessman whose wife and his best friend are killed under unforeseen circumstances. The remaining story is all about how the character of CI Satya broke the mystery behind these murders and punished the culprits.

Ajay’s role and performance in the film was praised. After a long gap, Ajay played the lead role in this movie. In the past, Ajay has acted as a hero in Sarai veerraju and a few other films.

Rangabali Movie Review – An Inadequate Entertainer

0

Movie: Rangabali
Rating: 2.25/5
Cast: Naga Shaurya, Yukti Thareja, Shine Tom Chacko, Satya, Goparaju Ramana, Murali Sharma, Sarath Kumar
Director: Pawan Basamsetti
Produced By: Sudhakar Cherukuri
Release Date: 7th July 2023

Story: Shaurya is a happy-go-lucky guy who does not take his life seriously, and he wants to stay in his hometown for a lifetime and mainly has an attachment to the center named Rangabali. For a reason, he comes to Vizag and falls in love with Sahaja, a medico student. Sahaja also falls for Shaurya and when everything seems to go smoothly, Sahaja’s father does not agree to the marriage. Why did he take that decision? What connection does Shaurya have with the Rangabali Center? Answers to these questions form the rest of the story.

Analysis: Debutante director Pawan Basamsetti made it clear with the promos that his film, Rangabali is aimed at entertaining the audiences. He was very much glued on to the target in the first half where things worked well. The hero’s introduction and his bonding family, friends, and his hometown were well established. The combination scenes between Naga Shaurya and Satya came out very well and the romance track with the heroine was also good.

Towards the interval, the movie hints at a serious turn in the second half and though the initial portions seem to work, slowly the narrative drops and never gets back. The flashback, which was too routine and melodramatic, did not add any value to the film. Also, the scenes towards climax looked very silly for the premise it had.

Performances: Naga Shaurya looked good and tried his best to excel, but his character lacked the energy in the second half. Comedian Satya got a meaty role, and he did full justice to it. Actress Yukti Thareja was fine, and she looked damn hot in one song. Shine Tom Chacko Was Fine. Murali Sharma, Goparaju Ramana, Subhalekha Sudhakar, and Sarath Kumar were ok.

Plus Points:

  • First half
  • Satya’s comedy
  • Few dialogues

Minus Points:

  • Dull second half
  • Routine flashback
  • Songs

Verdict:

Overall, Rangabali could have been a nice entertainer if the second half had been handled well. The fun filled first half, comedian Satya’s role work for the film but the dragged and boring moments, routine flashback portions work against it. You can watch the movie only if you can overlook the flaws in it.

The Kashmir Files Director Indirectly Fires At Salaar Team

0

It has been just a few hours since the release of Prashant Neel’s magnum opus Saalar and the opinions and breakdowns have already started. Since Salaar is the next big thing from Prashant Neel after his KGF series, there are a lot of questions and a lot of excitement regarding Salaar. Who is Salaar? What is the connection to KGF?

While the public opinion is mostly overwhelmingly positive, a certain someone seems to have been bothered by the Salaar teaser. And that someone is none other than The Kashmir Files director Vivek Agnihotri.

Within a few hours of the release of the teaser, director Vivek Agnihotri took to Twitter to voice his opinion in the form of a series of tweets.

His first tweet read out, “People aren’t born violent. Your children’s minds are conditioned by glamourizing violence in popular literature, cinema, and politics by industry leaders who should be actually inspiring young minds for peace.” While this might seem like a fairly harmless tweet, it is the next few tweets that will help better understand what he is trying to say.

His next tweet read, “Now glamourizing extreme violence in cinema is also considered talent. Promoting nonsense cinema is considered a bigger talent. Promoting a non-actor as biggest star is considered the biggest talent. And assuming the audience is super-dumb is mother of all talent.”

He also praised Tom Cruise’s upcoming Mission Impossible film while saying this:

“Extraordinary. Experiment. Innovation. Engineering. Execution. The world of extraordinary action cinema –

I hope someday we build something like this instead of just building a star image.”

And for the final confirmation, “We have also made such grand films with great engineering and powerful stories. Sholay, for example. But now everyone believes dumbing down the audience, creating marketing hype and nonsense action with loud sound can make a film hit. Looking at Indian BO, it’s true also.”

When these tweets are read in isolation, they might appear harmless. But it is very clear from the timing that it is a dig at the makers of Salaar.

The Kashmir Files Director’s Next Film Clashing With Salaar

0

Salaar is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated movies of this year. There was a lot of hype and excitement for the film even before the teaser came out. And now with the teaser, the hype has gone to another level. There is a lot of eagerness among fans and the general public about what Prashant Neel has planned in his cinematic universe.

Amidst all of the talk around Salaar, it looks like Vivek Agnihotri is planning to clash with Salaar. The director, who took the country by storm with his film The Kashmir Files in 2022, is planning on releasing his next film on the same date as the release of Prabhas’ Salaar, which is on 28th, September 2023.

Reports are suggesting that Vivek’s next movie The Vaccine War is eyeing a September 28th release date. Even in the past, Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files had clashed with Prabhas’ Radhe Shyam on March 11th, 2022.

This might as well be true because according to Vivek Agnihotri’s tweets, it looks like the director is not too fond of Prabhas or Prashant Neel. Just hours after the release of Salaar’s teaser, the director was seen making multiple tweets, indirectly aimed at the team of Salaar.

Well, only time can tell what will happen on September 28th,2023.

Anirudh Disappointed Audiences Again With Jailer First Single

0

Anirudh Ravichander has been one of the most consistent and successful music directors in South India in recent times. Irrespective of whether it is Tamil or Telugu, Anirudh has been delivering chartbusters after chartbusters. Jersey and Agnyathaavasi in Telugu and countless blockbuster albums in Tamil.

But off late it looks like Anirudh has not been able to bring that old charm to his music. The songs are still full of energy and the beats are good but still, there is still some of his magic missing.

Perhaps this is because Anirudh is constantly working on multiple projects. Owing to his talent and creativity, almost every director wants to work with Anirudh. As a result, it might be possible that Anirudh has been overworking himself.

Previously, the much-awaited first single from Leo, Naa Ready failed to meet expectations. It did not sound like the Anirudh that we are used to hearing. And now again, with the first single of Jailer, Kaavaala, it sounds like a generic song from Anirudh.

Having said that, every artist has a few songs that miss the mark. As they say, class is permanent, form is temporary. So let us hope that Anirudh comes back with a bang with the rest of the songs.
