List of new releases on OTT today

This week is going to be a slow one at the theatres with no other film barring Son of India hitting the big screens. There is an absolute lack of interest among the audience to catch this Mohan Babu starrer and hence the weekend will be mostly limited to the new releases on OTT. Here are the OTT releases of the week.

  • Bangarraju on Zee 5– A sequel to 2016 hit Soggade Chinni Nayana, Bangarraju is laced with extra star power and more commercial elements. With so many advantages going its way, the film was a decent fare at the box office. The movie has some elements that might interest the family audience and has a runtime of 2 hours and 40 minutes. Naga Chaitanya has joined the cast along with Krithi Shetty while Nagarjun and Ramya Krishna continue their roles from the original. Watch Bangarraju Here.
  • Hridayam (Malayalam) on Disney +Hotstar– Pranav Mohanlal and Kalyani Priyadarshan starrer romantic drama is another of the exciting new releaseson OTT today. Directed by Vineeth Sreenivasan, the film was a massive box-office hit on its release on 21st January this year. Perfromance of Pranav Mohanlal was well appreciated. According to the director Vineeth, Hridayam is a coming-of-age drama. About this young man’s journey from 17 to 28 years, and the different phases in life. His relationships, challenges, friendships, and insecurities. Watch Hridayam here.

Allu Arjun’s brother is clueless on his debut film

Allu Arjun’s brother Allu Bobby is making his debut as a producer for Varun Tej starrer Ghani. Siddhu Mudda along with Allu Bobby are backing this project under Renaissance Pictures and Allu Bobby Company banner. The movie has already seen a number of delays and the makers announced recently that this sports drama will hit the screens on February 25th.

There was speculation in the market last week that Bheemla Nayak might be postponed to April 1st. Hence buyers had no problem in going for Ghani on February 25th. However, with Bheemla Nayak confirming its arrival on 25th Feb, things have now changed. Ghani was made on a huge budget and the makers hired Hollywood stuntmen and set up special sets. Now, Bobby is not seeing any way of recovering this amount as there is very little interest for Ghani in trade circles.

Adding to this, starting from Bheemla Nayak, Tollywood will see a biggie releasing every two weeks. This has made the situation rather tricky for Allu Arjun’s brother Allu Bobby. The makers were earlier in talks with many OTT players for a direct release. However, the quoted price was too high by the Ghani team and the deals didn’t go through. Allu Bobby might have to go his own Aha OTT platform but even that would be a loss-filled deal as the movie budget is too high and Aha. We need to wait and see how this problem is encountered.

MAA votes for Manchu family higher than Day 1 worldwide advance bookings footfalls

Mohan Babu’s Son of India is on its way to a disastrous state even before its release. With no buyers for it, the Manchu family decided to go for own release. Manchu Family is always in the news with their speeches and behaviour. From Maa elections, Mohan Babu and Manchu Vishnu have made a lot of controversial statements.

Manchu Vishnu, who is the current MAA President and producer of Son of India received around 400+ votes and won the elections. Son of India is set to release tomorrow and the total advance bookings footfalls are shockingly not even 100 worldwide.

The audience have also shown nil interest in this film. The advance bookings of this film are disastrous, to say the least with many shows selling tickets in single digits.

This was quite expected as the film didn’t evoke any interest nor did the family’s over-the-top statements help. The Manchu family needs to understand even now that gimmicks on social media and mere ornamental posts like MAA President are not going to help them to bring the audience to the theatres.

After Covid 3rd wave no biggie has been released yet in all these 3 film industries. But now a biggie from each industry is releasing on next weekend.

First up, Ajith’s Valimai will release on 24th February. This much-awaited action thriller directed by H. Vinoth has been the most talked-about Kollywood project for over a year. The film has done a solid pre-release business and is expected to have a massive opening like all other Ajith films.

From Bollywood, we are going to witness Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi. This biopic is even more special because it is directed by ace director Sanjay Leela Bhansali who is making a comeback after 4 years. This unique competition has got Hindi film lovers eager and curious to catch what’s in store. Gangubai Kathiawadi will release on 25th February.

Releasing the same day is Tollywood biggie Pawan Kalyan starrer Bheemla Nayak. This has been one of the most talked-about and anticipated films. Fans are going to witness Powerstar in a powerful police role after a long time and the film is tipped to create many opening day records for sure.

These three film industries are surely going to bring back the audience to the theatres and get the trade circles busy once again.

Distributors, Theatre owners not interested to screen Mohan Babu Film

Mohan Babu starrer Son of India is all set to release this weekend. While the entire Manchu family has pinned high expectations on this film, there is absolutely zero interest among the trade circles for this film. Distributors and exhibitors are not at all interested in screening this film.

The film will have its own release in all territories and even theatres. Despite all this, the audience have also shown nil interest in this film. The advance bookings of this film are disastrous, to say the least with many shows selling tickets in single digits.

Mohan Babu himself has written the screenplay of Son of India. The film also stars Pragya Jaiswal, Srikanth, Tanikella Bharani, Ali. Diamond Ratna Babu has directed this film while Maestro Ilaiyaraja has composed the music. Interestingly, Megastar Chiranjeevi has given voice-over for this project. Manchu Vishnu has produced the film under 24 Frames Factory

Gehraiyaan review – A fairly engaging and intense urban romantic drama that could work with the target audience

Gehraiyaan review – A fairly engaging and intense urban romantic drama that could work with the target audience

Movie: Gehraiyaan
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Deepika Padukone, SIddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday, Dhairya Karwa, Naseeruddin Shah, Rajat Kapoor
Director: Shakun Batra
Streaming On: Amazon Prime
Release Date: 11th February, 2022

Story: Alisha (Deepika Padukone) and Karan (Dhairya Karwa) are in a live-in relationship and after many years they meet Alisha’s cousin Tia (Ananya Panday) and her ultra-rich boyfriend Zain (Siddhant Chaturvedi). The two couples go on a trip to Alibaug and there, certain unexpected developments take place and slowly their hormones start getting the better of Tia and Zain. What trouble did this lead to and how did they come through it forms the rest of the story.

Performances: Deepika Padukone deserves major credit in this film. She plays a complex role and her character undergoes so much trauma that it feels scary to even think of her situation. She played this role in a genuinely impressive way. After Deepika, it’s Siddhant Chaturvedi who leaves a strong mark. His character is supposed to not evoke any kind of sympathy from us and his performance has ensured that it was achieved. Naseeruddin Shah and Rajat Kapoor shine in small yet important roles. Ananya Pandey was decent and definitely didn’t give a chance to be written off. Dhairya Karwa did his bit.

Analysis: On paper, Gehraiyaan definitely feels like a strong idea with so many themes touched and many multilayered characters in play. While translating the idea into a film, Shakun Batra has definitely succeeded to an extent. One main reason why the film stood strong from the start is because of the way the mood is built and the atmosphere is created. The main credit goes to the cinematography for this. Music too complimented the film and the ‘Doobey’ song is icing on the cake. The film is all pleasant at first and begins like a typical urban romantic drama and slowly transcends into darker areas. The tone and intensity are well maintained amidst all this and because of that, the last 30-40 minutes work really well in the film when it’s slowly turning into some kind of a crime drama or romantic thriller. All said, there are still some issues with the film like the plot holes, dragged portions in a couple of areas, mediocre dialogues and the limited appeal of the overall film but the curiosity factor in the film mostly helped the film in overcoming these hiccups. The ending is a surprise and gives rise to many questions.

Plus points:

Performances

Cinematography

Last 40 minutes

Blending of genres

Minus points:

Limited appeal

Weak dialogues during crucial scenes

Dragged at times

Logical loopholes during some key moments

Verdict: Gehraiyaan is a strong attempt in the urban romantic drama genre and is supported well by good performers and a director with conviction. Definitely a decent watch but not everyone’s cup of tea.

Bheemla Nayak makers confirmed the release date yesterday erasing all speculations of another delay. Meanwhile, the pre-release event is scheduled to happen on 21st February at Yousufguda Police Grounds in Hyderabad. According to reports, the trailer will be launched at the event itself.

Meanwhile, the film’s unit is confident of its performance. Pawan and Trivikram have taken utmost care to ensure the movie is loaded with a number of whistle-worthy moments. The run time has also been shortened considerably from the original to keep the screenplay gripping and tight.
