Kiara Advani joins RC15

The much-awaited Ram Charan and Shankar’s RC15 has just got a beautiful addition in form of Kiara Advani. It was rumoured for the past few months that Kiara will be paired opposite Charan. The actress has earlier worked with Ram Charan in Vinaya Vidheya Rama. While the movie failed at box-office, the pairing was appreciated.

Kiara and Charan will start shooting for the film from September. The film’s pre-production works have already started. Meanwhile, in this time, Ram Charan will look to finish Acharya and RRR and then move on to Shankar film.

Ram Charan and Shankar are teaming up for the first time for a magnum opus, and expectations are way too high considering the fact that it is being produced by Dil Raju under his home banner Sri Venkateswara Creations.

Ishq- Not a Love Story Review: A remake gone awry

Movie: Ishq: Not A Love Story
Rating: 2.25/5
Cast: Teja Sajja, Priya Varrier, Ravindra Vijay, Nagaraju
Director: SS Raju
Produced By: Super Good Films 
Release Date: 30th July 2021

One of the two remakes releasing today, Ishq: Not a Love Story follows the story of a young couple caught in an unfortunate situation. The story of a road trip turned into a nightmare has with its share of thrills and scares sounds like an exciting premise. But, has the director SS Raju succeeded in re-capturing the magic of the original?

Story: Soon to be married young couple Siddhu (Teja) and Anu ( Priya Varrier) decide to go on a road trip to mark her birthday. The pleasant trip of the couple takes a murky turn when a duo targets the couple and harasses and tortures them physically and mentally. How does the couple react and how the incident affects the relationship of Sidhu and Anu forms the crux of the story

Performance: Comparisons are bound to happen when a movie is remade. While Teja Sajja looks the part and does a decent job at his role, it falters in comparison to Shane Nigam. Teja looks unconvincing in action sequences and falters at putting up a menacing act. Ditto with Priya Varrier who is one of the weakest points of the film. The character requires vulnerability and emotions which she is unable to conjure. Ravindra Vijay is definitely the highlight of the film and looks imposing and intense.

Analysis: The film fails to live up to the positive hype it created with its initial rushes. The casting is one of the weakest points of the film and while the lead pair of Teja and Priya look lovely on the screen, their performance falters at most places. The screenplay is another weak aspect of the film and doesn’t provide the tight and fast feel that a thriller should. The core focus of the film which should be moral policing and relationship dynamics of the young couple doesn’t work out well on the screen.

Plus Points:

Message of the movie

Ravindra Vijay

Minus Points:

Weak performance from the lead cast

Slow screenplay

Music

Verdict: Teja Sajja still reminds us of the child actor that we all saw in early years. While he has come of age and is adept at performing stunts and dance numbers, it would be better if he grooms self with some softer films. The remake doesn’t do justice to the deep message that it set out to give. While the concept is brilliant, Ishq: Not a love story fails in execution.

Thimmarusu Review: Satyadev carries this decent investigative thriller

Thimmarusu Review: Satyadev carries this decent investigative thriller

Movie: Thimmarusu
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Satyadev, Priyanka Jawalkar, Bramhaji, Ajay, Jhansi
Director: Sharan Koppisetty
Produced By: Mahesh S. Koneru and Yarabolu Srujan 
Release Date: 30th July 2021

A young lawyer- Ramachandra (Satyadev) starts getting deep into an old case in which a bar employee was wrongly framed. What are the shocking revelations made during the course of the investigation? Will lawyer Ramachandra be able to free the innocent and punish the culprits in this 8-year-old case forms the crux of Thimmarusu.

Story: A cab driver’s murder followed by the arrest of an innocent bystander starts the chain of the story. Young lawyer Ramachandra an idealist and honest charactered person chances upon this case 8 years later. The police have wrongly framed the innocent bar employee for the murder in haste. And, it is now up to lawyer Ramachandra to ensure justice prevails and the criminals are punished.

Performance: Just like his previous movies, Satyadev excels in his role as an idealist lawyer. He looks earnest and sincere in his intentions and carries the role quite effortlessly. Interestingly, this is the first time he had to feature in action sequences and performs convincingly in the fights. Ajay as the antagonist has nothing new to offer and has played similar roles a number of times in his career. Bramhaji as Satyadev’s assistant provides decent comic relief and is a great addition to the Thimmarusu cast. Other cast members such as Priyanka Jawalkar, Jhansi and Harsha Chemudu have nothing special to play and are underused.

Analysis: The movie starts off slow and even the eventual runtime of over 2 hours appears to be long. However, once the film picks up the pace and the game of cat and mouse begins, you will get immersed in it. The movie delivers decent fight scenes and twists towards the end. For a proper murder mystery, a lot depends on jumps and the BGM following that and Sricharan Pakala has done a good job with the music. Director Sharan Koppisetty has stayed faithful to the original Kannada version and hasn’t deviated from the basic premise. However, slow screenplay and lack of good roles for support cast reveals the occasional weakness of the film.

Plus Points:

Satyadev’s performance

BGM

Action sequences

Climax

Minus Points:

Dragged screenplay

Supporting Cast is wasted

Weak writing in the first half


Verdict: Overall Thimmarusu is a decent crime thriller and investigating part is neatly done. Like the original film ‘Birbal Triology’, the entire movie rests on the lead actor (Satyadev’s) shoulder. Satyadev has done a great job with not just performance but also has been impressive in action scenes. The film redeems itself in the second half and with Thimmarusu having a good buzz amongst the audience, the film might end up doing well at the box office.
