0

When AP CM Jagan held a meeting with some of the prominent figures of Tollywood yesterday, everyone noticed that MAA President Manchu Vishnu was absent from the meeting. This is even more shocking considering the fact that Jagan and Manchu Vishnu are close relatives.

It is still unknown as to whether he did not receive an invite or if he was busy. However, he has managed to meet the AP cinematography minister Perni Nani today to discuss the ticket rates issue. Manchu Vishnu took to Twitter to share a picture of himself with his father, Mohan Babu and Perni Nani.

As the President of MAA, people are curious to see what value and contribution Manchu Vishnu adds to Tollywood. People are doubtful about his leadership abilities at the moment but hopefully, he proves the people wrong.

Ravi Teja’s Khiladi Movie Review – Predictable Action Fare

0

Movie: Khiladi
Rating: 2/5
Cast: Ravi Teja, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Dimple Hayathi
Director: Ramesh Varma
Produced By: Satyanarayana Koneru
Release Date: February 11th, 2022

Khiladi is an action crime thriller written and directed by Ramesh Varma, and produced by Satyanarayana Koneru under the brand of A Studios LLP. Ravi Teja plays the lead role in the film alongside Meenakshi Chaudhary, and Dimple Hayathi appear in the film. Ravi Teja’s last film, Krack, was released for Sankranthi 2021. Regardless of covid restrictions at theatres, the film turned out to be his biggest hit. With Khiladi, he’s in a similar scenario.

Story: The plot follows Mohan Gandhi (Ravi Teja), a seemingly innocent guy who is accused of murdering his own charming little family. Pooja (Meenakshi Chaudhary), a psychology student, approaches him in prison to submit a thesis and finds up embarking on a self-righteous quest to set him free. At the very least, get him released on a bail. During this time, she finds that Mohan is caught up in a money-laundering mess linked to the current home minister. The rest of the narrative concentrates around how the lead actor coped with the situation and emerged victorious.

Performances: Ravi Teja, as usual, plays his part with perfection. His performance and energy are some of the biggest plus points of the film. Arjun Sarja plays the role of CBI officer and delivered an honest performance in the film. Both lead actress has nothing much to do in the film. One of the actresses seemed to be roped in for the film with the sole purpose of appealing to the masses by unnecessary overexposing. There isn’t much noteworthy performance from any other actor in the film.

Analysis: Except for the interesting opening sequence, 1st of the film turns out to be a regular predictable mass action film. Things light up just before the intermission, and the director uses an excellent interval segment to redeem the tedious and predictable first half. The best aspect of the movie is this interval sequence. Despite these decent pre-interval and interval sequences director fails to impress the audience in the second half. Screenplay and narration in the half stuffed with twists test the patience of the audience. The songs and background score from DSP are decent. The cinematography of the film in a few action sequences deserves praise. It is one aspect where the film scores decent marks.

Plus Points:

  • Action Sequences
  • Ravi Teja
  • Pre-Interval and Interval Sequence

Minus Points:

  • Direction
  • Story
  • 2nd Half
  • Too many twists

Verdict: Overall Khiladi is a regular predictable mass action film with a bad story and screenplay. Ravi Teja’s energy, Heroines glamour and a couple of good action sequences try to save the film to an extent but bad narration and screenplay have let the film down.

Frustrated Manchu Vishnu tweets something and deletes

0

MAA President Manchu Vishnu has been missing from the action happening between the Government and Tollywood. Being the head of the actors’ association, it’s his responsibility to be at the front and look for resolution on the ongoing issues affecting Tollywood. However, ever since the issue started, Vishnu has spoken very little on it and has shied away from the issue.

Today, as a delegation of Tollywood top heroes and directors met AP CM YS Jaganmohan Reddy, the ‘Mosagallu’ actor tweeted some gibberish and later deleted the Tweet.

Megastar Chiranjeevi has taken the initiative of resolving the issue. Right from day one, he has taken Tollywood together to ensure the ticket pricing issue comes to an end. The delegation comprised of Mahesh Babu, Prabhas, R Narayana Murthy, Rajamouli, and Koratala Siva among others.

It so appears that Manchu Vishnu is hurt at not being included in this delegation. This is why he tweeted an unrelated image and later on being trolled he deleted the irrelevant post.
