Vishal’s Saamanyudu Talk and Box-Office Performance

Vishal’s Saamanyudu movie released today in theatres and has opened to below average talk from audiences and a poor opening at the box office. Saamanyudu is a revenge thriller that is the Telugu dubbed version of Veeramae Vaagai Soodum.

The theatres in the Telugu states are already running with deficits and Saamanyudu has failed to give the much-needed momentum to the theatres. From the looks of it, this will mark yet another disastrous weekend for the Telugu Industry.

Saamanyudu has done a pre-release business of 5 crores in the Telugu states. At the current rate, breakeven seems impossible. The negative responses from audiences will also not help the film.

Saamanyudu also stars Dimple Hayathi, Yogi Babu, and Babu Raj in lead roles. Debutant P Saravanan is the director of the film and Vishal himself has produced the film under Vishal Film Factory. Yuvan Shankar Raja is the music director of the film.

One Cut Two Cut Movie Review: Painfully Boring Watch

One Cut Two Cut Movie Review: Painfully Boring Watch

Movie: One Cut Two Cut
Rating: 1.5/5
Cast: Danish Sait, Prakash Belawadi, Samyukta Hornad, Prakash Belawadi, Roopa, Manosh, Soundarya Nagraj
Director: Vamsidhar Bhogaraju
Streaming On: Amazon Prime Video
Release Date: 3rd February 2022

Story: A group of keyboard warriors who are fed up with the state of affairs in the Karnataka government, decide to take matters into their own hands and cause a revolution. Armed with a rifle and Money-Heist-inspired masks and red suits they take hostage of a primary school.

However, things get messy as the CM’s Secretary orders the assassination of the armed group. Amidst all this chaos, the wimpish Arts and Crafts Teacher, Gopi(Danish Sait) has to act as a common ground between the government and the armed group.

Performances: Danish Sait as Gopi is undoubtedly the only saving grace in this rather boring film. Danish’s charm can be seen throughout the running time. Although this is a character that he has never done for a film before, it seems too repetitive for even a 90-minute movie. This is due to the lackluster writing and 1-Dimensional treatment of the character.

The only other real highlight is Vineeth Beep Kumar as the ‘struggling stand-up comedian’. Samyukta Hornad as Danish’s love interest is decent in her role but also suffers from 1-Dimensional treatment. Prakash Belawadi, who is often impressive in his roles, has to shoulder some of the most monotone dialogues in the film, making for an irritating watch.

Analysis: Unlike Danish Sait’s previous comedies, One Cut Two Cut falls flat on the face. This is largely due to poorly written characters, substandard dialogues by Danish Sait and Vamshi Bhogaraju, and a turtle-paced screenplay. For a film that has a runtime of 1 hour and 28 minutes, it feels awfully long.

The film needs to be given credit for its clarity of approach. The director and the writer make it clear that they want to present slapstick comedy but the issue is, there is hardly any comedy. The comedy misfires almost every second joke and after a point, you are just numb to the odd good joke.

The film also suffers from the constant need to add in socio-political satires even when the situation doesn’t demand it. There are recurring jokes about Beef Ban, ‘Cows are like Gods’, potholes in Bangalore, that just fall flat. It is truly sad when a hilarious writer like Danish Sait presents a bland comedy like One Cut Two Cut.

Plus Points:

Danish Sait as Gopi

Depiction of news channels

Minus Points:

Slow-paced narration

Poorly fleshed out characters

A shoddy screenplay that offers no variations

Abysmal Dialogues

Repetitive Scenes

Verdict: One Cut Two Cut is a movie that had a lot of potential to be a laugh-out-loud comedy but barely ended up being a comedy. Watch this if you are a fan of Danish Sait’s characters or if you want to support a film from PRK Productions. But if you’re looking for comedy, it is better to avoid One Cut Two Cut.

Allu Aravind forcing Parasuram to do a film in his banner

Parasuram Petla is currently busy with the shooting of Mahesh Babu’s Sarkaru Vaari Paata. The film’s shooting is nearly coming to an end now. On the other spectrum, ace producer Allu Aravind is extremely keen on doing a film with Parasuram in his banner.

Allu Aravind wants to do a film with the Nandamuri family heroes, JR.NTR and Balakrishna, and he is forcing Parasuram to develop a story for the two actors. He wants to set this combo up as soon as possible due to the current hype of both the star heroes.

However, JR.NTR is currently busy for at least another 2 years. He has already signed a project with Koratala Siva and Buchi Babu Sana and might do a film with Prashant Neel after that. Keeping this in mind, Allu Aravind is planning to set a combo with Parasuram and Balakrishna.

Allu Aravind is confident in Parasuram’s capabilities due to the massive and unexpected success of Geetha Govindam which was produced under his own banner.

Allu Arjun’s Zomato Ad draws ire for demeaning South cinema

Allu Arjun is basking on all the popularity and success brought by Pushpa. The ‘Icon Star’ has now become extremely popular on social media and the north market. To cash in on this popularity, brands are lining up in front of Allu Arjun and collaborating with him.

One such new brand under the Icon Star’s belt is ‘Zomato’. The ad featuring the actor was released earlier today. This campaign, however, has drawn backlash for a certain statement made by Allu Arjun. He could be seen fighting with Subbaraju in the ad and punches the latter that sends him flying. While in the air, Allu Arjun says that it is a south cinema hence it will take some more time in air.

https://twitter.com/zomato/status/1489512281650384896

This statement is being seen as demeaning by many. Netizens have lashed out at Zomato and the actor for this portrayal of South Cinema with some even stating the success of Pushpa in north has gotten to Bunny’s head.

Meanwhile, Pushpa is on a winning spree breaking one barrier after another in other languages. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the revenue that it has generated in other languages is massive. There is no doubt that Bunny is the sole driving factor behind Pushpa’s success. Allu Arjun showcased a one-man show during the promotions up north and is the sole reason for the movie doing so well in other languages.

Allu Arjun’s Pushpa grosses Rs 365 cr in 50 days

Makers of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa took to social media to inform that the film has grossed a humungous Rs 350 crores in 50 days. Despite mixed reviews, Allu Arjun’s performance and Sukumar’s presentation impressed many and the film even opened to great openings at the box office.

Despite so many positives going for itself, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa couldn’t turn out to be a successful endeavor in the Telugu market for the makers in terms of collections.

https://twitter.com/MythriOfficial/status/1489514062983548929

The story is different in other languages. The film has hit the Rs 100 crore nett mark in Hindi. Similarly, it has crossed Rs 30 crores gross in Tamil. Pushpa is also a roaring success in Kerala having grossed the Rs 10 crores mark.

While the film has been a big success in other languages, the number seems to be far from true. According to the trade circles, the number of Rs 350 crores certainly appears inflated. It is estimated that the film has hit around 90 % of this mark and not much more.

Pushpa also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, Sunil and Dhananjaya among others. Sukumar ihas directed this action entertainer bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers. Devi Sri Prasad has composed the music of the film.

RRR Makers planning a big event in USA

RRR hype has got back on track after it was derailed due to the postponement. The makers announced last week that the movie will now hit the screens worldwide on 25th March. This has given a great boost to the movie lovers eagerly waiting to catch Jr NTR and Ram Charan on screen.

The RRR team did nationwide massive promotions back in December. The trio of Jr NTR, Ram Charan, and Rajamouli attended multiple events, TV shows, and interviews for the film. However, the rising Covid cases foiled all these plans.

Now, with the new release date announced, the RRR team is planning another big event in the USA for movie promotions.

This will be a part of a newly etched-out promotional strategy by the team. SS Rajamouli’s RRR also stars Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, and Olivia Morris in prominent roles. DVV Danayya is bankrolling this big-budget action entertainer.
