Mega fans worried about the Game Changer release, Will it release in 2024?

0

Ram Charan’s Game Changer was launched amidst massive fanfare and tremendous expectations back in 2021. The film’s initial schedules in Andhra, Pune, and Chandigarh were also wrapped up pretty quickly making everyone believe that this. While the film’s initial parts got off to a tremendous start, it’s still unclear what transpired later that led to Shankar shooting Indian 2 and Game Changer simultaneously.

Since both films are big-ticket pan-India projects, shooting simultaneously is turning out to be quite challenging. A large part of the shooting and CG work is still pending for both. As per initial plans, fans expected Indian 2 to release for Sankranthi 2024 and Game Changer to release post-summer 2024. Now it appears like Indian 2 will release for summer 2024 which means Game Changer will most likely move for Dasara release or even May 2025.

The film is a political action drama made on a massive budget and the few on-set picture leaks have already revealed that the film will be about elections, corruption, and how the protagonist fights the evils of society to gain justice.

Produced by Dil Raju and Shirish under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations, the film will release in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. The film also stars Kiara Advani, Srikanth, Sunil, Anjali, and SJ Suryah in key roles

0

Telugu audiences are ready to watch and enjoy two new Telugu movies today in theaters, which are very different from each other in terms of story or genre. Those two films are Nikhil Siddhartha’s national thriller Spy and Sree Vishnu’s Samajavaragamana – A family entertainer.

Sree Vishnu’s Samajavaragamana is receiving good to excellent reports from the audiences and early reviews of critics as well. The comedy worked big time for the film and excluding songs and a few dips in the second half, everything has worked for the film and the overall talk is the film is a perfect family entertainer. Debut director Ram Abbaraju has made the film with a very engaging screenplay.

Nikhil’s Spy opens with Average reports. The talk from the early shows and overseas premiers is that a few sequences worked really well and a few were not up to the mark. It is being said that the director failed to establish the strong characterizations which are very much needed for this genre. However, a few scenes came out so well, which is a big plus for the movie and some scenes fell flat, which is the minus point for the movie.

Overall, as of now, Sree Vishnu’s Samajavaragamana leads in FDFS talk from the audiences while Nikhil’s much awaited Spy received a bit of an underwhelming response. We need to wait for the day end to see where both the films talk settles.

Certifying Adipurush was a blunder, It hurts peoples sentiments says High Court

0

While directing the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to lodge their personal affidavits in two PIL pleas challenging objecting to the dialogues and scenes of the movie Adipurush, the Allahabad High Court today said that certifying this movie was a blunder and that it has hurt the sentiments of the people at large.

The bench of Justice Rajesh Singh Chauhan and Justice Shree Prakash Singh, while questioning the mindset of the makers of the film, further noted that sacred books such as the Quran, and Bible should not be touched and invaded upon in such a way.

The Court also noted that people’s feelings must have been hurt by the way the film portrays the religious characters of Ramayana. The Court added that recently it has come across many films in which the Hindu god and goddess have been shown comically.

The Court, however, clarified that the question was not about a particular religion, but that a particular religion should not be portrayed in a bad light. While pointing out that the Court has no religion of its own, the Court stated that its only concern is that the status of law and order be maintained.

Significantly, the Court also clarified that it has not conveyed any substantive order in the matter as yet and that the vocal inspections of the Court were concerned with the issue at hand.

After a one-hour hearing yesterday, the Court heard the case again and wondered what was happening in the minds of Adipurush’s filmmakers when they were making this film. The Court pointed out that no one thinks of the characters of the Ramayana as such, in the way they were described by the filmmakers.

These significant observations were made by the Court while dealing with 2 Public Interest Litigation (PIL) pleas filed against the exhibition and dialogues of the Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon starrer movie. The Court will continue to hear the pleas in the coming days.

0

Movie: Samajavaragamana
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Sree Vishnu, Reba Monica John, Naresh,Sudarshan, Srikanth Iyengar, and Vennela Kishore
Director: Ram Abbaraju
Produced By: Razesh Danda
Release Date: 29th June 2023

Story: Balu (Sree Vishnu), a responsible middle-class son working in a multiplex, is the sole support of his family. He can’t stand love and relationships. So, he makes sure the girls interested in him tie Rakhi to him. He meets Sarayu (Reba Monica John) whom he is compelled to accept as a paying guest house. Sarayu loves Balu, and he also reflects the same feelings. However, when everything seems to work well, things get more complicated and something unexpected happens. How Balu and Sarayu win their love is what forms the rest of the story.

Analysis: The first half of the film is very entertaining. The scenes are cool and the moments between the lead pair came out very well. The scenes between Father and Son are also hilarious in the first half. Naresh VK gets many laughable moments in this process. The humor is very naturally blended into the story and narrative. The director was very successful in this regard. The interval twist is really superb and comes unexpected.

The second half is where the film’s narrative takes a backseat and struggles a bit. However, the director Ram Abbaraju ensured that the movie had laughable moments in every other scene and the Dialogues work well for most of the part.

Circling a simple point between the hero-heroine relationship, debut director Ram Abbaraju managed to maintain interest in the film until the end. Vennela Kishore’s character did not work well. The central point of the film is rare, but maintains the tempo well, and the director’s work is commendable.

Performances: Sree Vishnu gave an excellent performance as Balu. He excelled in almost every scene, and comedy scenes appeared as his forte. He looked perfect for the role, and one scene where he mouthed lengthy dialogues on girls is hilarious. Naresh VK was terrific in the hero’s father role, and his role had many funny moments. Heroine Reba Monica does her part well. Srikanth Iyengar was good in a positive role, and Nellore Sudarshan was fine as the hero’s friend. Vennela Kishore who appears in the second-half could not impress this time because of loud and repetitive characterization.

Plus Points:

  • Sree Vishnu – Naresh roles
  • Comedy
  • Main plot point

Minus Points:

  • Songs
  • Dragged part in the second half

Verdict: Overall, Except for its faults, the film, Samajavaragamana gives the required dosage of entertainment and serves the purpose. The film gives a pleasant feel with nice and clean taking and is definitely a worth watchable film with family.
