Pawan Kalyan Sings Again For Bheemla Nayak

0

There is no doubt that the combination of Powerstar Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram has produced blockbuster movies over the years.

But the star combo has also produced some chartbusters over the years, some of which the Powerstar has sung himself.

After Attarintiki Daaredi and Agnyaathavaasi, the duo is back with Bheemla Nayak. The buzz is that Pawan Kalyan will be singing a massy village type song.

In 2013 when Pawan Kalyan sang the groovy Katamarayuda song for the blockbuster Attarintiki Daaredi, fans of the star went gaga over it.

In 2018, the star gave his voice for the song-Kodakaa Koteswar Rao. Although the movie didn’t do too well, the song was celebrated by his diehard fans.

Kodakaa Koteswar Rao Video Song

After a gap of three years, Pawan Kalyan will be lending his voice again for a massy village song in Bheemla Nayak, and fans of the Powerstar cannot wait.

The song will release a week ahead of its theatrical release.

Saagar K Chandra has directed the movie and, Trivikram Srinivas has written the screenplay of the film. The film also stars Rana Dagubatti, Nithya Menon, and Samyukta Menon in prominent roles.

Bheemla Nayak is all set for a grand theatrical release on January 12th,2022. If all goes to plan, this will be the highest grosser for Pawan Kalyan.

SKYLAB Team Commits A Huge Mistake

0

Despite having an interesting concept, and an engaging trailer, SkyLab opened to terrible collections, with very low occupancy on the first day.

SkyLab, starring Satyadev, Nithya Menon, and Rahul Ramakrishna released on 4th December 2021. Set in the 1970s, Skylab is a fictional retelling of a real incident that occurred in Karimnagar.

What is the reason for such low openings? Let’s analyze the team’s mistakes.

Poor Choice In Release Date

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Akhanda movie released on 2nd December 2021 and opened to extremely positive talks from fans. The movie was the actor’s best opener of all time.

Due to this, the hype generated around Akhanda has been sky-high. Naturally, SkyLab being a relatively small movie in scale suffered immensely. If it released after a week or so, it would’ve fared better.

SkyLab Not Meant For The Big Screen

There is no argument that SkyLab looks visually stunning. However, in today’s market, people want more than just visual satisfaction.

It would’ve been a much better option for it to release on OTT, due to its slow-paced storytelling.

Not Enough Promotion For SkyLab

The makers failed in their efforts to promote the movie. Arguably, they had Nani as a chief guest for their pre-release event and also promoted their movie on the TV show-CASH.

But unfortunately, this was not good enough to compete with NBK’s Akhanda.

Having said that, this is only the first day, and hopefully, the film picks up the pace soon.

Skylab Review: Promising plot but dull execution

0

Movie: Skylab
Rating: 2.25/5
Cast: Nithya Menen, Satyadev, Rahul Ramakrishna
Director: Vishwak Khanderao
Produced By: Nithya Menen, Pravalika Pinnamaraju
Release Date: 4th December

Skylab trailer and its subsequent promotional content have evoked great curiosity amongst the audience. When a star cast featuring talented actors like Nithya Menen, Satyadev, and Rahul Ramakrishna comest together, it is bound to give something interesting and watch worthy to the audience. Nithya Menen is turning producer with this film and picking such an off-beat subject for her debut is indeed a brave decision. Has this gamble paid off? Let’s find out

Story: Skylab is based on the ordinary lives of the residents of Bandalingampally village. These ordinary lives change when the news of Skylab (a satellite located in space) gets destructed and starts heading towards the earth. The movie is set in 1979 and director Vishwak Khanderao has tried to capture the reactions and imaginations of people during those times to a satellite hurling towards the earth.

Performance: Gauri (Nithya Menen) plays an aspiring journalist who is looking for that one big story that will change her life. Ananda (Satyadev) on the other hand plays a doctor who has lost is license and is now planning to set up a clinic in the village. The duo look terrific on-screen and as talented actors, they breathe life into their roles. Adding to the movie’s cast is Rahul Ramakrishna who provides some comic relief and fun moments in the movie. The extended support cast includes Tanikella Bharani, Tulasi among others who have nothing special to do.

Analysis: Skylab starts on a promising note and the characters are well established and portrayed. The production design is impressive and brings the retro theme to life. While the film is good on technical front- writing and editing are two things that play a spoilsport and do not allow the film to realize its potential. The film has also explored issues like untouchability, lack of medical care in villages etc. but the presentation ends up making the movie a dull fare. The film could have been edited by a long margin and still could have retained the essence.

Plus Points:

Nithya Menen

Production design

Minus Points:

Length

Editing

Weak narration

Verdict: Skylab is another of those projects with immense potential gone waste. The film tries to explore and showcase too many things at once and often sidetracks from the core narrative. Multiple irrelevant sequences and lengthy runtime make the film a tedious watch

0

Naga Chaitanya is on a roll lately with back-to-back hits. In 2019, Naga Chaitanya impressed fans and critics, with his emotional performance in Majili. Later that year, he entertained fans with Venky Mama.

In 2021 he proved his acting talent yet again with Love Story, which was the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2021, and it looks like this trend is not going to stop.

There is a buzz that Naga Chaitanya is reportedly in talks with Tamil director Venkat Prabhu, who recently scored a super hit with- Maanaadu, starring top Tamil actor Simbu. The film received appreciation from film critics and has also enjoyed commercial success. It is still running successfully in theatres.

StudioGreen2 will be producing the film and if all goes to plan, it will release in Telugu and Tamil. This combination will definitely be a treat for movie lovers.

With promising first looks of Bangarraju and Thank You and a new look in the Aamir Khan starter Laal Singh Chaddha, the actor has added yet another exciting project to his list.

The actor has also signed a horror series with top director Vikram Kumar, which the actor is currently shooting for.

Manchu Vishnu’s empty promises raise questions

0

Manchu Vishnu has been on cloud nine after winning the MAA Elections. The new President of the Tollywood movie actors’ body made a series of public appearances and press meets back in October and November. However, the ‘Mosagallu’ actor has been keeping a low profile of late.

Tollywood is facing its worst crisis in the form of Covid as well as the ticket prices in AP. Even in this situation he hasn’t made a single statement of assurance.  During his campaign, he claimed that he would be at the forefront at the time of any crisis. However, that seems to be quite far from true. Not just has he been keeping a distance from issue, he hasn’t even made a single statement or tweet on it.

Manchu Vishnu has been making diplomatic statements on the ongoing issues and hasn’t addressed the problems or directly. While his affinity to the AP CM YS Jaganmohan Reddy is known to all, he is yet to make an appeal or statement regarding the concerns of Tollywood.

Tollywood is now gripped in worry regarding the new Covid variant. This might also have a possible impact on upcoming releases. In such a situation being the office bearer, it would great to be more proactive on current issues.
