0

Right after SS Rajamouli’s RRR leak surfaced online, here’s another piece of news regarding a leak coming from Sandalwood. Yash starrer KGF Chapter 2 HD version has been leaked online. The movie is running to packed houses all over and this is a shocker for the entire unit.

Earlier this week, KGF Chapter 2 Hindi version was uploaded on YouTube and immediate action was taken and the film was removed. These leaks have turned out to be quite troublesome for the makers as the movie is still running in theatres.

KGF2 is scripting history at the box office. The film has done tremendously well in all the regions and is smashing records across languages. KGF Chapter 2 has created another big sensation which only 3 Indian films have done so far. It has crossed the Rs 1000 crores benchmark at the box office. Only Bahubali 2, Dangal, and RRR have achieved this so far and it is indeed a massive moment for the entire team.

Now the film has achieved another massive feat. KGF2 is now on its way to becoming the highest grosser of the year and has crossed SS Rajamouli’s RRR. This is a huge achievement for the film especially considering the humongous success of RRR itself. The film had a big jump on Eid and is now heading towards highest grosser of 2022.

Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam review: Has its feel-good moments

0

Movie: Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Vishwak Sen, Rukshar Dhillon, Ritika Nayak, Vennela Kishore
Director: Vidya Sagar
Produced By: Bapineedu B and Sudheer Edara
Release Date: May 6th, 2022

After a series of big-ticket films at the box office, here comes this week’s release Vishwak Sen’s Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam. Billed to be a fuzzy family drama, the movie has seen some delays in its making and release. The entire crew especially Vishwak Sen has pinned high hopes on this film. Can this family drama deliver the warmth and feels as promised? Let’s find out.

Story: Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam follows the story of Arjun Kumar Allam (Vishwak Sen) a simple and sensitive young man finding trouble in getting married. Finally, an alliance comes his way where he along with his family travels from Suryapet to East Godavari to meet the bride Madhavi (Rukshar Dhillon). Due to an unexpected situation, Arjun and family get stuck in Madhavi’s home. Will this unexpected situation cause trouble in their relationship? What complications arise here is what the movie explores.

Performances: Vishwak Sen as Arjun Kumar Allam does a good job at portraying a timid man suffering from an inferiority complex. His onscreen character is quite a contrast to his off-screen persona and he does a convincing job. Rukshar Dhillon has a lot of screen time but not much to perform. She is miscast in the role of a typical Telugu girl. Ritika Nayak gets a meaty role and does great justice to the character and makes a mark. Other characters such as Vennela Kishore Rajkumar Kasireddy, Kadambari Kiran etc stick to their roles and provide decent entertainment.

Analysis: Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam is not a new story and many films have explored the theme of an arranged marriage before. While an intercaste angle in an arranged marriage is new, the writing doesn’t explore this angle any further than just playing with cliches of Telangana and Godavari regions. The movie’s real strength lies in characterizations and close-to-reality scenes. The story stays rooted to our nativity and viewers would certainly connect with Arjun’s insecurities, his parent’s frustration, and Madhavi’s dilemma. Even the supporting cast featuring extended family smoothens the proceedings.

Plus Points:

  • Vishwak Sen’s characterization
  • Writing
  • Feel Good moments

Minus Points:

  • Lengthy
  • Weak second half
  • Scenes between lead pair

Verdict: Ashoka Vanam Lo Arjuna Kalyanam is a decent watch and had it been for a solid closure during the second half, the film would have been further enjoyable. Certain inconsistencies in writing aside, this film is certainly a fun entertainer with an interesting message for all sections.

Kollywood once ruled the south Indian box office. At one point of time a lot of tamils films have been remade to other languages. But with the current trend, other film industries are moving forward. It seems like Kollywood is one step back with the latest pan India trend.

A Massive OTT and Satellite deal for Kamal Haasan film :

Vijay, Ajith has tried to open up the Bollywood market with recent flicks. But the movies didn’t fare well and so the stars failed to create any impact. Now all the hopes on Kamal Hassan’s Vikram. The industry is hoping for this movie to create impact in India wide. Kamal Haasan is known to Bollywood for his old movies. The actor proved so many times in all other languages. So if Vikram has the scope to convince pan India audience, Kollywood can have it’s foot in Pan India now too.

Despite the critical acclaim, the film got criticised for hurting the sentiments of the Vanniyars who form a dominant caste segment in Tamil Nadu.

The controversy raised for having a Vanniyar representative symbol on the calendar in police man’s house who tortured the tribal man. The movie is based on real incidents and most of the character names are the real ones. but the name of the police man is changed which again represents the Vanniyar community head. So PMK party filed a petition against Suriya and Jyothika for conceptualising Vanniyars inappropriately. High court now ordered police to file FIR against the producers of Jai Bhim.

Ticket hike advantage or disadvantage to Mahesh Babu’s Sarkaru Vaari Paata?

0

Mahesh Babu’s Sarkaru Vaari Paata is a week away from it release and the excitement regarding this film is growing with each passing day. This action entertainer directed by Parasuram has received permission for hikes just like other biggies of recent times.

While hikes are generally great for trade circles, the disaster of Acharya last week has got the industry and fans wondering on the impact the hikes might have here. Pan India movies like RRR and KGF2 did benefit massively with the ticket hikes and put up excellent numbers at the box office.

Just like Acharya, there have been a few movies that have failed to draw the audience to the theatres due to inflated prices. In fact, Acharya opened to terrible occupancy and saw major drops right from day one. The presence of Megastar Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan also couldn’t save the movie and it sank without a trace.

On the other hand, Mahesh Babu’s Sarkaru Vaari Paata is releasing amidst massive buzz. Unlike Acharya, there is heightening excitement amongst fans and industry insiders. This is why the movie is certain to achieve great opening numbers. With such positive feels surrounding the movie release, the hikes are expected to give a further boost.
