Netflix Treats Ram Charan As Main Lead In RRR

From the time RRR has released, fan wars between Ram Charan fans and Jr.NTR fans have been a constant occurrence. Each time somebody praises the other actor a bit more, fans of the other star, get defensive and begin their vicious trolling.

From the time of release, Mega fans have been trolling NTR fans, saying that Ram Charan is the main lead and that NTR is the side character. Later when NTR was praised by a lot of people, NTR fans started trolling Ram Charan fans.

Even recently, when director James Gunn was all praises for NTR, NTR fans gave it back to Ram Charan fans. This has been an ongoing cycle for the past year and it looks like it is not going to stop any time soon.

Recently, Netflix posted a picture trying to showcase the camaraderie between the characters. The examples were, Dharani and Suri, Chandler and Joey, and then, Ram and Bheem.

However, the context of the post upset many NTR fans and Mega fans have begun trolling again. Even though, NTR and Ram Charan have said many times that there is no rivalry between them. Even though, they have said that they are very good friends, fans of the stars seem to still carry on this hate.

It looks like the recent movies results are fearing the buyers, and they ate not coming forward to buy movies for bigger prices. Custody movie’s Andhra [6 Territories] business had started with 12 Crores Ratio, and then it came down to 10 Crores. Now, according to the latest reports, the final business of Custody has been done in 9 Crores ratio and the same change in business numbers has happened with the other territories as well.

We cannot blame the buyers for negotiating lesser prices as we know that in the film industry, occasionally the results of a few movies will impact the result or business in the Telugu Film Industry. The same is happening with Custody, the upcoming film of Akkineni Naga Chaitanya. However, the film team is busy in promoting the film and is just about one week away from its theatrical release. The film’s trailer got released yesterday and received a tremendous response.

Custody marks the director, Venkat Prabhu’s debut in the Telugu Film Industry and incidentally, it’s also the first Tamil film of Naga Chaitanya as the lead. The film also stars Arvind Swami, Krithi Shetty, Priyamani, R Sarathkumar, Vennela Kishore, Sampath Raj, Premji, Premi Vishwanath and Ramki in the other important roles.

Anchor and character artist Anasuya again targets Vijay Devarakonda

Anchor and Character Anasuya has not only made a name with her acting skills, but she is also quite popular with her controversies. Especially, she keeps targeting Hero Vijay Devarakonda now and then. From the time of Arjun Reddy, Anasuya has directly or indirectly targeted Vijay Devarakonda many times.Last night she has once again become the reason for a Controversy by posting a controversial tweet which indirectly targets Vijay Devarakonda.

Anasuya took to her Twitter and said,”Ippude okati chusanu.. “The” na?? Babooooiii!!! Paityam.. enchestam.. antakunda chuskundam ,” she tweeted.

https://twitter.com/anusuyakhasba/status/1654493625881853955?t=6RChcbbwf7BRP9Ue-6aNPg&s=19

Even though Anasuya did not take any name in her tweet, everyone understood that it was targeted at Vijay Devarakonda. We know that recently Vijay Devarakonda and Samantha’s upcoming film Kushi movie’s first single update was announced. In the poster, before Vijay Devarakonda’s name, “THE” was mentioned like a brand.

Needless to say that after Anasuya’s tweet, the fans of Vijay Devarakonda and other netizens reacted and said that was an unnecessary thing from her. But she did not stop there. Minutes after her first tweet, she took another dig with another tweet which goes like… “Bhale react autunnarra donga..oops.. bangarukondalanta.. ekkado akkada nenu nijam anedi prove chestune unnanduku thanks ra abbailu “.

https://twitter.com/anusuyakhasba/status/1654526676712431622?t=czvr3Bp4RDuSDAygx7NkUA&s=19

The netizens were not at all happy with the unnecessary triggering tweets of Anasuya and told that if someone is offended by Vijay’s ‘The’, how are the titles – Megastar, Superstar, Powerstar, Lions, Tigers etc. justify for any star hero? These tags are like a symbol of their stardom in the market and every moviegoer got used to it.

It looks like Anasuya has some serious issues with Vijay Devarakonda. In the recent past, she took twitter by storm when she posted an indirect satire on the Liger movie’s result. At that time also Twitterati made many trolls against Anasuya. Some netizens are saying that she should let go Vijay Devarakonda and mind her own business, or else she should have a chat with him personally and clear the differences whatsoever.

The Inside Story: Why Hasn’t Prabhas’ Adipurush Telugu Version Business Started Yet?

Prabhas’ Adipurush is all set to release worldwide on June 16th. The movie has faced its own share of delays and criticisms but it looks like things are shaping up pretty well now and nation wide promotions are in order. This pan-India biggie is the costliest film made in the country and the makers are hoping of creating massive buzz amongst the audience and trade circles.

With the release slated for next month, many are wondering about the delay on the Adipurush Telugu version’s business. Not much has happened on the theatrical rights and it is quite surprising considering its Prabhas’ movie.

Adipurush’s Telugu states release will be made by UV Creations. However, the business ratio has not yet been decided because there are some pending deals of Saaho and Radhe Shyam from UV creations to Dil Raju and some other distributors. The discussions are happening to finalize the ratio and UV Creations will have to sort out this at the earliest.

Prabhas’ Adipurush is the costliest movie made in India and the promotions are expected to be on a similarly large scale. Apart from Prabhas in the titular role, the film will feature Kriti Sanon as Janaki and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh and is directed by Om Raut.

The Kerala Story Movie Review: Adah Sharma shines in this emotionally moving and at the same time disturbing tale

Movie: The Kerala Story
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Adah Sharma, Siddhi Idhnani, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani
Director: Sudipto Sen
Produced By: Vipul Amrutlal Shah
Release Date: 5th May 2023

Story: Shalini or Fatima Ba (Adah Sharma) is a young girl who is converted and sent to Syria together with her husband to fight for ISIS. Caught and imprisoned in Afghanistan, she tells her story in the flashback where she and her two classmates, Geetanjali (Siddhi Idnani) and Nimah (Yogita Bihani), were enticed to join the mission by another classmate Asifa (Sonia Balani). Did the Police believe her Story? Was she able to prove her innocence? Answers to these questions form the rest of the story.

Analysis: The makers of the movie have said that it is based on real stories. As a film, the plot point of ‘The Kerala Story’ needs to be heard. However, the treatment and writing of it could have been much more subtle. The Director Sudipto Sen was successful in getting the emotions in many places, but at the same time he went overboard with regard to the abusive and violent scenes which were hard to digest. At the end of the movie, the makers showed the real life people talking about the horrific incidents they went through, which leaves you in tears.

Performances: Adah Sharma delivers a heartfelt performance, and she was able to convey the pain of the vulnerable Shalini who is brainwashed because of her innocence but still manages to fight back. The manner in which she mixes the Malayali accent into her Hindi makes the character even more genuine. Siddhi Idhnani, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani were fine in their roles.

Plus Points:

  • Adah Sharma’s excellent performance
  • Emotional Moments
  • A Few Effective Dialogues

Minus Points:

  • Disturbing scenes
  • Convenient writing at a few places
  • Some important scenes handled in a silly manner

Verdict: The Kerala Story has its share of emotionally charged sequences backed up by the natural performance from Adah Sharma, but the movie could have been more effective if the narrative had a less preachy touch and a more truthful tone.

Ugram Movie Review: Impressive in Parts

Movie: Ugram

Rating: 2.5/5

Cast: Allari Naresh, Mirnaa, Shatru, Indraja

Director: Vijay Kanakamedala

Produced By: Sahu Garapati, Harish Peddi

Release Date: 5th May 2023

Story: Shiva is an honest cop who meets with an accident along with his wife and daughter. After that, his wife and kid go missing. Who kidnapped Shiva’s wife and daughter? What problems did Shiva faced in finding them? Did he get them back is the main story.

Analysis: Ugram is directed by Vijay Kanakamedala, who has presented Allari Naresh in a different role from his usual self, once again tries to do the same with Ugram. The film had an arresting main plot and starts off with an intriguing note. The first 15–20 mins work very well and make the audience wait for the next proceedings. However, what follows is the usual troupe of a commercial cop with an outdated family track. Except for one or two hero elevation scenes, nothing worked in the flashback. Just when the narration feels lifeless, the movie gets interesting towards the intermission.

The second half maintains the tempo for a while with investigation scenes behind a big crime syndicate, but the overstretched emotions work against the intention of the director. The action sequences were well choreographed, but the lead scenes to those episodes could have been much better. The music was alright.

Plus Points:

  • Allari Naresh’s Performance
  • Starting Episode
  • Pre Interval/Interval Episode
  • Investigation Scenes

Minus Points:

  • Lack of Strong Emotional Connect
  • Outdated Family Scenes
  • Few Dumb moments

Verdict: Ugram tries to mix commercial cop elements and action thriller with an interesting plot point. The film works partly, but does not have a coherent narration and emotional strength to get the desired effect. The film can be watchable but needs patience to sit through it.

Ramabanam movie review : Outdated commercial fare

Ramabanam movie review : Outdated commercial fare

Movie: Ramabanam
Rating: 1.75/5
Cast: Gopichand, Dimple Hayathi, Jagapathi Babu, Khushboo
Director: Sriwass
Produced By: TG Vishwa Prasad
Release Date: 5th May 2023

Gopichand’s Ramabanam is the latest release this week. The film is finally in front of the audience after continuous promotions and the team has promised wholesome entertainment for all sections of the audience. This is the third film in Sriwass- Gopichand combination after Lakshyam in 2007 and Loukyam in 2014. Both these movies were successful and the combo is now looking for a hat trick. Let’s find out if the movie succeeded in getting the duo their third consecutive hit.

Story: Vicky (Gopichand) gets estranged from his brother Rajaram (Jagapathy Babu) and family after a conflict and claims he’ll become something very big someday. He lands in Koland becomes a powerful don. As fate would have it, he comes back home for his love Bhairavi (Dimple Hayathi). What happens when he heads back home? What kind of problems crop up for Rajaram and how Vicky solves them is what the movie follows.

Analysis: Ramabanam has roles that each of the characters in the movie has played before. Gopichand as a brother who can go to dangerous extents, Jagapathy Babu as a doting brother and family man is something that we have seen in countless movies. So there’s nothing unique and out of the box in terms of performance. Both Gopichand and Jagapathy Babu are adequate in their roles. Dimple Hayathi plays a typical love interest of the lead and has no substantial role much like the rest of the extended cast.

Plus Points:

  • Comedy scenes
  • Fights

Minus Points:

  • Routine story
  • Predictable screenplay
  • Weak antagonist
  • No engaging tracks

Verdict

Ramabanam is a movie that might have worked 15 years ago. There is absolutely no novelty in the movie’s treatment and narration. The typical family entertainer laced with some action follows some tried and tested formulas which become quite predictable from the very beginning. Apart from some moments of entertainment in terms of comedy and few fights, there is nothing to keep the audience hooked to their seats.
