Rajamouli’s promotional plan for RRR is talk of the town

Rajamouli has a grand vision not just about his movies but also the way he promotes them. The ace director always has an ace rolled up the sleeve that helps him the publicity that he desires. One of the biggest complaints of the Tollywood fans was that the RRR wasn’t being promoted and publicised as it should. A movie of RRR’s scale must be doing heavy promotions by now. Rajamouli’s promotional plan, however, is now on target and that is being noticed by all now.

Rajamouli meanwhile is completely assured of his product and just with one RRR Mass Anthem, he has cleared all the negativity or doubts about it. The song which was released in 5 languages is being loved all over and has made people sit up and take notice.

The Hindi version in particular is a huge hit and has been trending on social media for the last two days. The Bollywood market is critical for the movie and Rajamouli has ensured that the movie’s hype builds up.

Now SSR is getting ready for the third single and if the inside reports are anything to go by, this will also be a musical feast. In the coming days we will be seeing more of such masterstrokes from Rajamouli’s promotional plan.

Pushpaka Vimanam review: Dry execution of an interesting plot

Movie: Pushpaka Vimanam
Rating: 2.25/5
Cast: Anand Deverakonda, Geetha Saini, Sunil, Saanve Meghana
Director: Damodar
Produced By: Govardhan Rao Deverakonda, Pradeep Errabelli, Vijay Mattapalli
Release Date: 12th November

Anand Deverakonda’s Pushpaka Vimanam right from its title launch and subsequent teaser and trailer release has evoked curiosity. The concept of wife eloping after the wedding and the investigation that follows has been presented in a comic manner with a bunch of solid support cast. Does the movie have enough to sustain the curiosity? Let’s find out

Story: Sundar (Anand) a young government school teacher has got married recently and life goes on normally. The trouble breaks in when he finds out that his wife Meenakshi (Geeth Saini) has eloped. He tries his best to hide this fact from his neighbours and colleagues with the fear of becoming a laughing stock. The mystery behind this sudden disappearance and its unraveling is what follows next with a series of investigations and comic situations.

Performance: Anand Deverakonda as Sundar looks the part and is convincing. His performance as a troubled and confused husband searching for a wife is quite believable. Geeth Saini makes a decent mark but has nothing much to do here. Saanve Meghana has got more screen time and scenes to showcase her emotions and she does the best job of the lot. Harsha Vardhan as the nosy neighbor gets a chunky role and is just adequate while Sunil as a police officer is wasted in the role. The other support cast members are just to fill the scenes and barring Naresh none leave a mark. On the technical part, the visuals by Hestin Jose Joseph look great and capture the tone of the film well. Mark K Robin’s BGM is another impressive aspect of the film.

Analysis: Pushpaka Vimanam starts in a decent manner and manages to engage the audience right away. The movie wastes no time in coming to the point of conflict and the story breezes through in the first half. It is the second half that kills the momentum of the film with dull writing and elaborate scenes. While the first half has some genuinely fun moments with situational comedy, the second half falters and stops the movie from realizing its potential

Plus Points:

BGM

Few comedy scenes

Minus Points:

Second half

Weak characterization of the support cast

Climax

Verdict: Pushpaka Vimanam is a classic example of a novel concept ad botched execution. The film showcases lots of promise and has moments that will engage you. However, the writing doesn’t engage the viewer and one would often wander off from the film. A stronger climax and tighter screenplay would have done wonders here.

Movie collections will immediately be sent into your accounts: Perni Nani

Andhra Pradesh I & PR Minister Perni Nani called for a meeting with theatre owners and distributors of West Godavari, Krishna, and Guntur districts. Speaking to the delegation he informed them that the movie collections that the government collects through its portal will be immediately transferred to the distributors/exhibitors.

The theatre owners while welcoming this move also shared their challenges and limitations with the minister. Many theatres in the B and C centers do not have the necessary infrastructure to support online booking and movie collections are done manually. For this, the theatre owners requested the government’s supports.

Adding to this, theatre owners and distributors said that many centres are in long-term contracts with ticketing portals Book my Show and Just Tickets. The minister noted the issues and said that he will bring this to the Chief Minister’s notice and resolve them.

Will RRR & Radhe Shyam face the same issue as Pushpa & Akhanda?

Will RRR & Radhe Shyam face the same issue as Pushpa & Akhanda?

The business revision of the Tollywood biggies has become a sort of trend now. Pre-Covid business standards are unfortunately no longer working out hence almost all the major movies of late have had to undergo this process in Andhra Pradesh. For example, Akhanda, whose before Covid pre-release business amounted to Rs 47 crores in AP, had to restructure it to Rs 35 crores.

Similarly, this is on with Pushpa, which had an Andhra Pradesh pre-release business of Rs 75 crores including Ceded. This deal happened before Covid and now the AP distributors are asking for a price of Rs 55 crores.

Now the question remains if the same is going to happen with Tollywood big projects RRR and Radhe Shyam. All areas business of RRR and Radhe Shyam has been closed long back. And it needs to be seen if what happened for Akhanda and Pushpa for AP is repeated here as well.
