Mahesh Babu & Trivikram’s #SSMB28 To Have Star Cast

There have been reports recently that Trivikram and the team of #SSMB28 are in search of a star cast for the film. A couple of months ago, it was announced that Mahesh Babu and Trivikram will be collaborating once again for #SSMB28. Fans of the Super Star have been eagerly waiting for more updates ever since. This is their third combination after Athadu and Khaleja.

Apart from Mahesh Babu, Pooja Hegde is the only other actor that is confirmed for #SSMB28, and Trivikram and the team are in search of a star cast for various roles in #SSMB28.

They are looking for a strong villain role that will be an equal match to Mahesh Babu’s role. They are also looking for the role of Mahesh’s uncle and 2 other important roles.

Trivikram always likes having 2 heroines in his films and is planning to cast another heroine in this film as well. There have been multiple rumors regarding the heroine, but there is no confirmation yet.

#SSMB28 will not be another typical family entertainer and will be shot on large scale. The team is considering actors from all industries and all languages. Samuthikarani, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Unni Mukundan are potential actors who might star in the film due to their multi-lingual advantage.

Check Out The Most Subscribed OTT Platforms In India

Ever since the launch of International OTT platforms in India, people predicted a switch in theatre audiences. Even reports suggested the rapid rise in OTT subscribers year by year, but things have sped up tremendously due to COVID-19.

Due to the whole world shutting down, there was only one medium of entertainment – Digital entertainment. This is when the top streaming services like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and Disney+Hotstar upped their game. People could watch their favorite shows and movies from the comfort of their homes, for a cheap price.

Here is the estimated data of the most subscribed OTT platforms in India:

Disney+Hotstar – Disney+Hotstar ranks at Number 1, with 4.6 crores subscriptions.

Although Disney+Hotstar offers a plethora of international series, shows, and movies, the main Unique Selling Point is Sports. It has the streaming rights for IPL, most of the Indian cricket matches, Premier League, and much more. They also offer flexible yearly and monthly plans.

Amazon Prime – Amazon Prime ranks at Number 2, with 2.17 crores subscriptions.

Amazon Prime is the largest hub for Indian content. It has been consistently delivering Hit original series and movies, Family Man, Mirzapur, Breathe, and so on. Amazon Prime is also the largest hub in terms of regional movies. Most of the regional cinema gets bought by Amazon Prime.

Netflix – Netflix ranks at Number 3, with 55 lakh subscriptions.

Netflix is an extremely successful streaming service outside India. It beats all of its competition overseas but has been struggling to establish a market in India.

One of the main reasons for this is the lack of good Indian original content. Most shows or movies have been disappointing. There is also a lack of regional content, making it the second or third choice.

That was the list of most subscribed Ott platforms in India.

Mega Fans upset with Allu Arjun offscreen behaviour

Allu Arjun’s meteoric rise to stardom has undoubtedly been a result of his hard work. But, the seeds to it were sown by Mega Star Chiranjeevi. It was in his uncle’s movie ‘Daddy’ that Allu Arjun made his first on-screen appearance in 2001. 2 years later ‘ Bunny ‘ made his debut as a lead actor with Gangotri.

Throughout these years, Bunny has shown huge reverence and respect for Megastar Chiranjeevi. However, off late, the tides seem to have changed. Mega Fans feel his behaviour has undergone a drastic change after some big hits. Earlier the ‘Pushpa’ actor used to give straight retort and directed people to address Chiranjeevi as ‘Sir’.

It was during this phase that Allu Arjun openly stated that he wanted to see Ram Charan in the position of Mega Star. But, it seems now that he himself is vying for that position and this has not gone down well with many Mega Fans.

The ‘Cheppanu Brother’ incident where he refused to acknowledge Pawan Kalyan on stage has created this massive dent. Mega Fans also state that any movie events of late where Allu Arjun is invited, the fans create quite a ruckus raising slogans and the Icon Star hardly does much towards that.

Yesterday, when Megastar Chiranjeevi posted a Tweet regarding testing Covid positive, Bunny’s reply stunned many. He responded to his uncle without anything such as sir or ‘mavayya’ as he usually does. This incident has added further fuel to the fire.

Bro Daddy review – A long and predictable family drama with a decent share of fun portions

Movie: Bro Daddy
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Mohanlal, Meena, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kalyani Priyadarshan, Lalu Alex, Kaniha, Soubin Shahir, Unni Mukundan
Director: Prithviraj Sukumaran
Streaming On: Disney+Hotstar
Release Date: 26th January, 2022

Story: Eesho (Prithviraj) and Anna (Kalyani) are in a live-in relationship and Anna unexpectedly turns out to be pregnant one fine day. Just then, Eesho’s parents John Kattadi (Mohanlal) and Anna (Meena) have another shock in store for them. What’s that shock and how did they work towards clearing all these new turn of events forms the rest of the film.

Performances: Mohanlal and Prithviraj have shared excellent rapo in the film and it is a treat to watch both of them have so much fun together. It’s a cakewalk role for both and they have ensured that the viewers experience the fun that they had on sets. Mohanlal especially is incredibly energetic and adorable as someone who takes everything on a positive and jolly note. Meena is neat in her role and easily recreated a good chemistry with Mohanlal. Kalyani Priyadarshan is cute and also delivered a very neat performance in all the funny and serious scenes. Lalu Alex is the silent show-stealer in this film. His funny reactions and expressions were hilarious and he is one of the very important pillars for this film with respect to the entertainment quotient. Kaniha was apt as his wife. Soubin Shahir and Unni Mukundan are decent in cameos. There is also a very tiny cameo from a notable young actress in the climax.

Analysis: The story of the film is similar to Bollywood film Badhaai Ho and also Mohanlal’s earlier classic Pavithram. However, what makes this film special is the casting and it’s the entertainment factor. Watching Mohanlal and Prithviraj share screen space as father and son is a feast in itself and the presence of Meena and Kalyani are an added advantage. There are a good number of hilarious moments and fun sequences in the film. However, the film is a bit too long considering that it is on the predictable side. It’s easily guessable as to how things will happen and finally end so there is no surprise factor at all. The film intends to just entertain and if we treat the film that way, then it’s not easy to be disappointed. In comparison, the first half is on the more entertaining side than the second. The colourful visuals and pleasant music helped in adding to the feel good vibe of the film. Editing could have been better as some scenes could have been trimmed easily to sharpen the runtime. Dialogues were fun and melodrama was kept within limits which was a relief. Prithviraj has done a commendable job as a director and it’s the writing which could have been sharper, less convenient and more impressive on a whole.

Plus Points:

Casting and performances

Music and visuals

Entertainment factor and fun vibe

Minus points:

Predictability

Lack of novelty

Length

Verdict: Bro Daddy is a feel good family drama that is good enough for timepass viewing but is a tad too long and lacks sharp and fresh writing. Can be considered a harmless one-time watch with controlled expectations.

2022 Sankranti Tollywood Movies break Decade long successful streak

Sankranti season has been one of the most awaited seasons for TFI for many years. The audience also eagerly awaits Sankranti Tollywood Movies throughout the year. The festive season, over the years, has given a number of blockbusters and industry Hits and has emerged as a highly profitable period.

However, this Sankranti has been a different story altogether. After 10 years not even a single release managed to get past the Rs 50 crore share mark. If we just go back a decade, In 2012 Businessman and Bodyguard were the Sankranti Tollywood movies. The combined share of the two films was close to Rs 60 crores. From 2012 onwards Sankranti season Tollywood movies have collected Rs 50Cr+ shares, Rs 100Cr+ shares.

Few festive seasons have even given Rs 300 crores and even Rs 450 crores combined shares of all releases. This time though all records were expected to be shattered with Sankranti Tollywood Movies for 2022 being RRR, Radhe Shyam, and Bheemla Nayak.

However, as fate would have it, all the movies had to be pushed due to Covid and limited theatre occupancy. This led to a new crop of Sankranti releases such as Bangarraju, Rowdy Boys, Hero, Super Machi.

All these movies failed to set the box office on fire and the combined share of all films is less than Rs 50 Crore. These four movies had a combined share of around Rs 40 crores with 90% of that coming from Bangarraju alone.

The failure of these films hence shattered a long-standing success streak of Sankranti Tollywood Movies

Hero Movie Revenue Shocks Jayadev Galla

Ashok Galla’s debut movie Hero released on the occasion of Sankranthi. Despite the massive promotions around the film, the movie failed at the box office.

The film was made on a huge budget and was produced by his mother, Padmavathi Galla, under Amara Raja Media and Entertainment Banner. Jayadev Galla, the father of Ashok Galla spent big bucks on the film to give his son the grandest launch possible.

But this has proved to be shocking for Jayadev Galla, as the film has failed terribly at the box office. Combining both theatrical and non-theatrical business, the movie has been unable to recover even 25% of the budget.

Apart from Ashok Galla, the movie also stars Niddhi Aggerwal, Jagapathi Babu, Naresh, Vennela Kishore, and a terrific ensemble cast. Sriram Aditya is the director of the movie. Ghibran is the music director of the film.

No Buyers For Suriya’s Etharkkum Thunindhavam In Telugu States?

After Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, Suriya has created a solid and well-established market for himself in the Telugu states. At one time, his business was on par with the Telugu tier 2 heroes. There has always been a huge demand for Suriya films from buyers in the Telugu states.

But now, after continuous disasters in the form of NGK, Singham 3, and Kaappaan, Suriya has lost his market in the Telugu states. These films have not done great in Tamil Nadu as well. Even Singham 3, which is the third installation of the blockbuster series Singham, failed to make money back.

His upcoming film Etharkkum Thunindhavam is slotted for a February mid-week release. The makers of the film are quoting a price of 10 crores but the offers are not even close to 5 crores. This has come as a massive shock for the makers of the film.

This is even more surprising as Suriya has scaled to great heights due to the recent OTT boom. This should mean that his films generate more business, but the opposite has occurred.
