Love Story to be postponed again?

0

After much delay, the makers of Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi starrer Love Story announced a release date recently. The movie will have a grand release on September 10th. However, just when things were looking good, a new issue has now cropped up.

The AP government has extended the restrictions in Andhra Pradesh till 4th September. The makers expected the restrictions to be eased. However, with that not happening, the producers are having worrying times as it might get extended to the coming week as well. Adding to this, the lack of clarity on the ticket issue is causing further concerns to the team.

The makers of Love Story have also expressed their dissent over Nani’s Tuck Jagadish releasing on OTT on the same day. Producer Sunil Narang made a big statement in front of the media yesterday expressing his dissatisfaction with this move.

With so many problems arising and theatrical release being the only option for Love Story now, the makers are not willing to risk anything. They are ready to wait out further in case the issues are not resolved. This means further delay for the release is still an option they can explore now.

Koratala not listening to Chiranjeevi

0

The uncertain conditions in Tollywood and lockdown delays to films have caused major last-minute changes to shoots and releases. Acharya is one of the films which has faced the maximum impact of these delays. These delays have caused major problems to both Koratala Siva and Megastar Chiranjeevi. With the major cause of problems being the release date.

Koratala is apparently fixated on a Sankranti release and wants to join the festive season. The director wants to release the movie in the fruitful festive season as he himself has invested a lot in the movie. He has even planned to meet the Bheemla Nayak producers in a couple of days.

There are reports in the industry that Koratala has settled all the investments of Matinee Entertainments. Along with that, he has also settled the remunerations of both Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan. Post the release Chiranjeevi will have a share in profits.

Chiranjeevi on the other hand wants to stick to the October 13th date as others have already announced the Sankranti date before him. The climax on this difference of opinions between the director and Megastar hopefully will come to an end once Chianjeevi meets AP CM Jaganmohan Reddy.

Megastar Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna are all set to clash at the box office. According to our inside sources, the makers of both Acharya and Akhanda have zeroed in on one date and that is October 13th. Fans and movie lovers have been eagerly waiting for an announcement on the release date of both these much-awaited films.

After the success of Simha and Legend, Balakrishna will be teaming up with Boyapati Srinu for the third time with Akhanda. Chiranjeevi, on the other hand, will be seen alongside Ram Charan in action-drama Acharya in a Naxal backdrop role. Both these factors have heightened the expectations on the film to great heights.

Akhanda’s teaser and rushes have impressed one and all and Balayya can be seen in a ferocious avatar in them. The teaser and single released so far from Acharya have not really done as well as they were expected to. However, with Megastar and Mega Power Star coming together, Acharya is surely expected to pack a solid punch.

Both Akhanda and Acharya were meant to release way earlier and there was no scope for the clash. But as fate would have it, multiple shoot delays and prevailing conditions in Telugu states have brought both the senior actors face to face.

Megastar Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna have clashed a number of times in the last 4 decades. The most recent one being 2017 Sankranti where Khaidi no.150 and Gautamiputra Satakarani were released. While Khaidi no.150 which was Chiru’s comeback and landmark 150th film, Gautamiputra Satakarni was Balayya’s landmark 100th film.

This time as well the film lovers are eager to see the clash come alive. And if it indeed happens, the movie lovers are surely in for a treat

0

Movie: Raja Raja Chora
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Sree Vishnu, Megha Akash, Sunaina, Ravi Babu, Tanikella Bharani, Srikanth Iyengar, Ajay Ghosh
Director: Hasith Goli
Produced By: Vishwa Prasad TG & Abhishek Agarwal
Release Date: 19th August 2021

Sri Vishnu’s Raja Raja Chora finally hit the screens today. As the trailers suggest, Vishnu plays the role of a thief in this film. After Brochevarurevarura, Sree Vishnu returns to another comic plot. The film promised to be a fun ride with a complete dose of comedy and entertainment. Did it succeed to give that? Is there more to the movie than that? Let’s find out

Story: Raja Raja Chora follows the story of Bhaskar (Sree Vishnu) who falls in love with Sanjana (Megha Akash). In order to impress her he poses as a software engineer. While the drama works for a while, Sanjana eventually finds out that not just is Bhaskar lying about his profession, there are also many hidden truths about his life. Why is the reason behind these secrets? Why did Bhaskar lie? This is what forms the crux of the story

Performance: Sree Vishnu has once again proven that he excels at both comedy as well as emotional scenes. Known for his unique script selection, Sree Vishnu as Bhaskar reminds us once again why he is one of the most talented actors in the industry. Megha Akash looks terrific and her cute screen presence lights up the screen. Sunaina who is a known face in Tamil does well in emotional scenes and is adequate. Ravi Babu as a cop is something that we’ve seen a number of times and the same is the case with other cast members.

Analysis: Raja Raja Chora starts on a fun note and the first half is packed with moments that will surely tickle your funny bone. The second half focuses more on Sri Vishnu’s backstory and has emotional moments and this is where the film slightly starts to lag and drag. The movie regains the tempo towards the end which acts as a saving grace. The film might go a bit high on emotions and tends to be a bit melodramatic at times. The movie has a solid flow from beginning to end and credit must be given to debutant director Hasith Goli for it. Vivek Sagar’s music and BGM are other big assets to the film.

Plus Points:

Sree Vishnu’s performance

Megha Akash and Sree Vishnu chemistry

Music and BGM

First half comedy

Minus Points:

Slow narration in 2nd half

Gets overdramatic at times

Run time exceeds the content


Verdict: Raja Raja Chora is one of the most fun movies of recent times. Sree Vishnu excels as the lead character and the movie also packs a beautiful message along with the fun elements. It is one of those rare times when all the technical aspects of the film came together and supported the writing and performances brilliantly to give you and good cinematic experience.

Major changes in release dates of upcoming Tollywood biggies

0

Never have we seen a situation where there has been so much speculation and confusion over movie release dates. The pandemic situation coupled with the tickets price issue in AP has brought in major last-minute changes to many release dates. The producers of these Tollywood biggies are now left to consider a number of factors before finalizing one date.

According to our reports Megastar, Chiranjeevi is aiming for a release on 13th October. With RRR getting postponed, the date looks free for now. Initially, the team was interested in a Sankranti release on 12th Jan. However, the October slot looks like a wiser choice for now. In case Acharya comes on January 12th then Pawan Kalyan’s Bheemla would have to be pushed to the Republic Day slot. An official announcement on this will happen on Chiranjeevi’s birthday on August 22nd.

F3 is another movie that had announced in arrival for Sankranti way back. However, if that doesn’t happen then Dil Raju and Anil Ravipudi are also considering March 1st.

Sarkaru Vaari Paata and Radhe Shyam are the only Tollywood biggies that have their release dates locked and will positively come for Sankranti.

This brings us to SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus RRR. The movie already has had three release day changes. Initially planned for 30th July 2020, the movie then moved to 8th Jan 2021. From this date, it was pushed to 13th October 2021 and now it will have one more change.

With so many changes based on so many factors, we would have to wait out for some time to get the exact clarity to release dates.
