Arabic Kuthu Telugu version from Vijay’s Beast receives backlash from Telugu Audience

0

The first single from Thalapathy Vijay’s Beast became a sensation in Kollywood. Anirudh came up with a fresh idea of mixing Arabic and Tamil Kuthu beats. Tamil actor Siva Karthikeyan penned lyrics for the song. The director Nelson Dilipkumar along with the duo named the song as Arabic Kuthu. Arabic Kuthu song is now a massive hit in Tamil which already crossed 250M+ views on YouTube. With the amazing response for the song all over, the makers released Telugu version of the song.

Telugu version released couple of days back and got backlashed. Beast team in the Telugu version of the song left the same “Malama” & “Pitha” words in the tamil which didn’t go well with Telugu Audience. They started mentioning that Tamil directors are taking Telugu audience for granted.

It’s the responsibility of the makers to take care of such things when released in Telugu or for that matter in any language. Especially few words sounds awkward in the other language. Recently few movies got released with direct Tamil titles in Telugu. The latest biggie Ajith’s Valimai is the example. Let’s hope makers will take care of these when they release in Telugu.

Ever since the reports of Prabhas- Maruthi film started doing rounds, film lovers have been quite curious as well as surprised.

The film reportedly titled Raja Deluxe is a horror-comedy that will have Maruthi’s trademark humor. It has been ages since Prabhas has done a comic role and it would be interesting to see how this pans out.

Tamil Superstar Thalapathy Vijay’s Beast trailer was released recently and created sensation. In the trailer, the director Nelson Dilipkumar has showed an interesting episode from the film. It resembles the scene from the super hit series Money Heist.

In the Beast trailer, it is shown that a shopping mall in Chennai is hijacked by terrorists who hold the visitors as hostages. Then it is revealed that Vijay a spy is also got trapped in the mall. Then the trailer shows war sequences and also hero fights with terrorists. Everyone liked the trailer but Kuwait government may not liked it.

The government of Kuwait banned the release of Beast in Kuwait. Whereas some Arab countries like UAE have granted permission to screen the film. Seems like the film deals with big Islamic terrorism which is not encouraged by Arabic countries.

Kuwait banned few films before too stating the reason that the film showed Arab countries as a home for terrorists. Recently Vishnu Vishal’s FIR and Dulquer Salmaan’s Kurup also got banned in Kuwait. Thalapathy Vijay fans in Kuwait that are eagerly waiting for the release are really disappointed.

After the roaring success of Akhanda, the blockbuster combo of Boyapati Srinu and Balakrishna are set to join hands again. However, this project will take some time to go on floors. Balakrishna will be next seen in a film with Gopichand Malineni. The ‘Krack’ director has reportedly written an out-and-out mass character for Balayya and it will be a feast for Nandamuri fans.

After the movie with Gopichand Malineni, Balayya will then move on to a project with Anil Ravipudi. ‘This film will be different from all my previous movies and Balayya will be shown in a totally different avatar,’ said Anil Ravipudi in an interview. As per sources, this film will be an equal balance of comedy as well as action.

Once the senior actor is done with these projects, he will then join Boyapai for the fourth time. This blockbuster combo has given films like Simha, Legend, and Akhanda. All these films have brought great glory to Balayya and pulled him out of a slump.

Boyapati is currently working on a pan-India project with Ram Pothineni. Srinivasa Chitturi will bankroll this project under the Srinivasaa Silver Screen banner. The film was launched recently and will go on floors in July.

Mahesh Babu to Clash with Marvel for the third time

0

Some clashes though not relevant directly are interesting when related. One of its kind is the clash between Superstar Mahesh Babu and Marvel movies. As one is Tollywood and the other is Hollywood, no comparison or competition will be drawn. But the coincidence will impact in some terms. So the clash with Marvel is affecting the collections of Mahesh movies in overseas, especially in the USA.

Mahesh’s movie Bharat Ane Nenu couldn’t touch the 4 Million mark in the USA and ended up with 3.5 Million. The reason experts quoted is BAN clashed with Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War. Maharshi, couldn’t collect more than 2 Million in the USA because it clashed with Avengers: Endgame. So the trade analysts feel that the movies collected a little less than what they had to be collected.

Now the clash is on cards again. Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Sarkaru Vaari Paata is releasing a week after Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness. This Marvel movie will occupy almost all the prime time shows in the USA. So there may be an impact on Sarkaru Vaari Paata shows. Fans opine that distributors should take care to reduce the impact. Let’s see how SVP will perform this time.

Ramcharan has created huge impact among Hindi audience and mainly mass audience with RRR

0

RRR became a huge hit all over the country. Along with Tollywood, RRR is making wonders in Bollywood and Kollywood as well. People all over the world are liking RRR for the movie it is and also for the lead actor’s performances. Ram Charan and NTR lived in the roles of Ram and Bheem and mesmerised the audience with their acting skills. NTR was getting applause for his intense acting and emotional expressions. While Ram Charan for his looks and elevations. 

The Hindi audience liked Ram Charan’s performance. Many people said that the actor turned from Zero to a hero. As we all know that Ram Charan trolled for his Hindi debut Zanjeer. But the same audience are praising him for RRR. Hindi audiences are so connected to the Alluri Seetharamaraju getup. Bollywood audience took Charan as lord Rama and they are so much impressed with Charan’s characterisation and Performance. The masses are going gaga about his action episodes and Alluri Seetharamaraju entry. This will help Charan for his upcoming Biggies.

Mega Powerstar’s next film is with director Shankar. Shankar is known for his larger than life films. His films got recognised all over India way before the Pan India trend started. Ram Charan’s craze now will definitely be an added advantage for the project to reach more. Hence RC15 will be the craziest film at the pan India level.

Is NTR Really disappointed with the audience’s response to RRR?

0

Post the release of RRR, a majority of the audience and even NTR fans felt that he was shortchanged. Many felt that his role was presented in a less significant manner as compared to Ram Charan. Especially during the climax portions, it was Alluri Sitararma Raju leading the charge while Bheem was following the lead. Many fans even targetted SS Rajamouli and lashed out at him on social media for this unfair portrayal of Bheem’s character.

While these views and claims were rubbished by K Vijayendra Prasad and others involved in the movie, it now appears that NTR might have some disappointment about this. Tarak has been missing from most of the success meets and appearances from the time the movie was released.

Compared to this, he was quite active and in fact the dominant force during the promotions. Whether it was the Kannada pre-release event or the press meets in Chennai and Mumbai, Tarak led while SSR and Charan followed. His prowess in other languages helped a lot in reaching audiences from the other states. However, after the release, he is keeping low and is not making many public appearances. In fact, Tarak’s role is even being termed as the soul of the film and one of his best ever.

Ram Charan on the other hand is enjoying the success of the film and is making the news quite often. Ram Charan made public appearances with his fans in Telugu states on the release day and in Mumbai yesterday. He also expressed his gratitude to the technical team and gifted gold coins to the direction team.
