0

Here is a list of 3 Telugu OTT releases that you cannot miss this weekend:

Akhanda– Nandamuri Balakrishna’s mass comeback into the Telugu film industry. The film opened to phenomenal numbers and has run successfully for 50 days in theatres. A story about a fierce Shiva devotee who protects good from evil. The film was shouldered by NBK’s powerful screen presence. The film will stream from 21st January on the Disney+Hotstar platform. This is a must-watch if you haven’t watched it in theaters yet.

The film also stars Pragya Jaiswal, Jagapathi Babu, Nitin Mehta and Srikanth in prominent roles. Boyapati Srinu is the director of the film, and M. Ravinder Reddy has produced the film under Dwarka Creations.

Shyam Singha Roy– Shyam Singha Roy is also Nani’s comeback to form. He was going through a lull with back-back disappointing performances in V and Tuck Jagadish. Fans and movie lovers missed the old Nani desperately, and he did exactly that in Shyam Singha Roy, with a knockout performance. Sai Pallavi and Nani’s chemistry is the main highlight of the film. The film was received well by audiences and also did well at the box office.

The film will stream on Netflix from 21st January 2022. The movie also stars Kriti Shetty and Madonna Sebastian in prominent roles. Rahul Sankrityan is the director of the movie.

Loser Season 2– The second season of the much-loved Telugu series Loser is back to impress once again. It is a sports drama involving three players, separated by a decade, yet connected in ways, as IMDb puts it. The series stars Priyadarsi, Shashank, and Baby Annie in prominent roles. Abhilash Reddy is the director of the movie. It will stream on ZEE5 from 21st January.

This was the list of the Telugu OTT releases this weekend.

Government fails, Exhibitors succeeded in AP

0

The AP tickets rate issue has taken multiple twists and turns and led to numerous statements and meetings from both sides. However, after so many events, one wonders what exactly did the AP government achieve out of this. The government as per its admission wanted to make tickets affordable to the people in the state. But, that hardly seems to be happening.

There was never a demand of reducing the ticket prices by the audience. The audience were quite comfortable with the existing prices and eve now are willing to pay the existing ticket rates. Secondly, the exhibitors are selling the tickets and most of the centers are not mentioning the actual numbers in DCR. This way, the government is losing the tax revenue as well.

Adding to this, the tickets are being sold for flat rates in most of the B and C centres. Understanding the government’s intention behind all this has become even more confusing. Nothing solid has been achieved out of the G.O 35 except confusion and troubles. It is about time the government starts beating around the bush and brings another G.O correcting this whole mess.

In fact, during the recent meeting between Megastar Chiranjeevi and CM Jaganmohan Reddy, the Chief Minister stated that he will look into the ticket pricing issue and resolve it. This is a stark contrast from his stand on this issue a few months ago, where he was not even willing to have a discussion on it.

The latest news among Tollywood circles is that Sivakarthikeyan’s next movie is reportedly with Bangarraju’s director Kalyan Krishna. Sivakarthikeyan is currently the most loved actor in the Tamil film industry.

People have really connected well with his common man image. His success and hard work to rise to this level have impressed not only the Tamil audience but also the Telugu audiences. Doctor achieved phenomena success in not only Tamil Nadu but also in the two Telugu states.

Now after the success of Doctor in the Telugu states, Sivakarthikeyan is looking to exploit his market even more. The actor has signed a project with Bangarraju director Kalyan Krishna Kurasala.

This is a match made in heaven as Kalyan is really good at carving out commercial masala entertainers, which perfectly fits Sivakarthikeyan’s commercial image. Kalyan has proved with Soggade Chinni Nayana and now, Bangarraju that he knows how to make a family entertainer. This also works well with Sivakarthikeyan’s family entertainer image as well.

There is a strong buzz among the Tollywood circles that Sarkaru Vaari Paata’s first single date has been locked by the makers. Ever since the release of the teaser, 5 months ago, the makers have not released any content to promote the film. This caused an outrage among Mahesh Babu fans who were eager to see more of their Superstar.

Even a few days back, the makers announced via a tweet that there will be no announcements about the film, leaving fans clueless. But now there is a strong buzz regarding the release date of a duet song. This will be the first single from Sarkaru Vaari Paata.

The song will be released on February 14th on the occasion of Valentine’s day. Thaman is the music director of the film, which means that this song will be worth the wait. Mahesh Babu and Keerthy Suresh will feature in the melodious song.

0

Naveen Polishetty’s Anaganaga Oka Raju Title Teaser is out now. Naveen plays Raju, a rich man who is studded and jeweled out at his wedding. He sports a dozen gold chains and gold rings on his fingers. This is also an incredible promotional strategy to hype up the film.

As expected, Naveen’s comic timing is absolutely impeccable. The teaser promises Naveen in a quirky avatar that is similar to his role as a silly fool in Jathi Ratnalu. The only difference is that here, Naveen plays a rich silly fool.

In Raju’s own words, this will be the most entertaining event of the decade, and we can’t help but agree.

Kalyan Shankar is the director of Anaganaga Oka Raju. He has previously worked in the direction team of Jathi Ratnalu, which means he will know how to utilize Naveen’s comic timing to the fullest.

Thaman, who is busy with a ton of other big projects, has been roped in to compose the music for this film as well. The background score of the film is as quirky as the title teaser.

The shoot of Anaganaga Oka Raju will begin as soon as the COVID-19 cases in India come to a halt. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya are producing the film under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas respectively. Vamsi Patchipulusu is the cinematographer of the movie.

0

Balakrishna’s Akhanda has established itself as one of the biggest success stories of Tollywood in 2021. The film that released amidst great hype and celebrations was able to sustain it and gave both Balayya and Boyapati the biggest success of their career.

Akhanda released on 2nd December and established many opening day records. The film is now on its way to 50 days mark. The movie is going strong in many centers despite the OTT release date being announced. The action entertainer is registering housefuls in many main centers and decent occupancies in other centers.

The film is a blockbuster for exhibitors giving them great profits and theatres run for close 50 days without deficits. This has made the situation quite amazing for the exhibitors as well.

Akhanda was released on December 2nd worldwide and has been running to packed shows. Boyapati Srinu directed this film and it performed well at both domestic as well as overseas box-office.

Akhanda featured Srikanth as protagonist and Jagapathi Babu in a key role. Pragya Jaiswal co-starred as the female lead while SS Thaman delivered soulful music for this film. The film was bankrolled by Miryala Ravinder Reddy under Dwarka Creations Banner.

Dil Raju confirms nephew Ashish’s next project ‘Selfish’

0

Dil Raju’s nephew Ashish made his debut this Sankranti with Rowdy Boys. Billed as a youthful entertainer, the film failed to attract the audience and impress the critics. The film, despite the presence of Anupama Parameswaran and music by Devi Sri Prasad is showing a cold show at the theatres.

Meanwhile, Ashish has already signed on to his next project. The film will be titled ‘Selfish’ and will be directed by Kashi, who was an assistant director with Sukumar. Sukumar Writings and Dil Raju will jointly produce this film which will go on floors soon.

“Sukumar saw the photos and videos of Ashish and was impressed with his youthful looks. He was convinced that the role perfectly suits Ashish and has decided to produce the film jointly with me. We are planning to start the first schedule soon,” said Dil Raju.

Meanwhile, Ashish’s Rowdy Boys is running towards a flop status with not takers for the film even during the festive times. The theatrical value of the film is in the excess of Rs 10 crores. As per our sources, the Day 1 share is in the range of just Rs 85 lakhs on a percentage basis. With such a disappointing start at the box office and the AP government planning on restrictions after the festive season, the road to recovery looks impossible for Rowdy Boys.
