Now, many netizens feel that Vettaiyan may also repeat the same blockbuster success.

Daavudi song added theatrically in Devara

Devara starring NTR is running in the theatres with solid performance at the box office. The film has also grossed more than 300 crores worldwide till. The film had a total of 4 songs in its album. Among them was Daavudi which featured both NTR and Janhvi Kapoor grooving with their moves. The song also received good appreciation. But the makers have deleted the song from the film for a crisp runtime. But, Daavudi is now added theatrically in Devara.

The film’s actual runtime was close to 3 hours. But the makers, as said have decided to go with a crisp runtime and chopped the film by 15 minutes and brought it to 2 hours and 43 minutes. Daavudi was also one of the things which went into chopping. As the film performed beyond expectations, makers have decided to add the song. It may also draw some audience to the theatres.

Devara is also on course to touching the 400 crores worldwide by the next weekend. Dussehra holidays will add as a big advantage to achieve this feat. The film also stood at 7th spot in terms of highest grossing films in the first week of Tollywood.

Swag movie review : A complicated concept that might appeal to few

Movie Name: Swag
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast: Sree Vishnu, Ritu Varma, Meera Jasmine, Daksha Nagarkar 
Director: Hasith Goli
Produced By:  TG Vishwa Prasad
Release Date: October 4th, 2024

Sree Vishnu has gained great recognition in recent times for his unique choices and for encouraging new-age directors with creative concepts. With Swag, he has once again teamed up with young director Hasith Goli who earlier impressed the audience with Mental Madhilo and Raja Raja Chora. Both these films uniquely presented Sree Vishnu and the duo are now looking to score a hat-trick. Let’s find out if the duo succeeds.

Story:

Bhavabhuti (Sree Vishnu), an ex-cop, receives a letter one day informing him that he is the rightful heir to the Swaganika dynasty and stands to inherit its ancestral fortune. Overjoyed, he heads to the royal family estate, only to discover that three other family members are also laying claim to the inheritance. The plot thickens when two of these claimants turn out to be lookalikes. Who is the true heir, and what is the real story behind this inheritance? This is what the movie follows.

Performances:

Sree Vishnu has given a performance of a lifetime. He has showcased his complete acting range with a variety of getups, mannerisms, and dialogue delivery. Playing four characters with unique body language is truly commendable. Ritu Verma has great screen time in the film. However, the complex plot and screenplay takes away from what could have been a great performance. This is the first time the actress is playing a dual role and does a decent job in both characters as a royal and a new-age woman. Meera Jasmine, Sunil, and others are decent.

Movie Analysis:

Swag is an intriguing concept and might be too complex for many. This multi-genre film is a brave attempt for sure but a complicated first half might fail to create interest amongst the audience. The second half, however, improves, offering more clarity about the film’s main storyline. With multiple characters and some of the finest actors, on paper, the film has a lot of entertainment to offer. However, the entertainment quotient falls short of expectations, causing the film to feel drawn out.

Positives:

  • Sree Vishnu
  • Strong message
  • Cinematography

Negatives:

  • Confusing screenplay
  • First half
  • Entertainment value

Verdict:

Give it a shot if you want to witness something extraordinarily unique and for Sree Vishnu’s career-defining performance. On the whole, Swag might appeal to a few and is not everyone’s cup of tea.

Meiyazhagan Bombs in Kerala

Karthi and Arvind Swamy starrer Meiyazhagan was released to mostly positive reviews and superb premiere talks. The emotional drama, however, worked for only one section of audience and did not receive an overall unanimous positive talk.

Overall, Meiyazhagan collected closer to 40 Cr gross in its 1st week. In the overseas market, this film performed extremely well. The film did an okay business in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The Telugu states’ business has ben below par. The shocking part is that the film saw a disastrous performance in Kerala.

Usually, films of this genre perform quite well in Malayalam industry. Meiyazhagan is a slow drama that is high in emotions and storytelling. The film’s feel-good factor and camaraderie between Katrthi and Aravind Swamy were expected to draw the audience. Surprisingly, that did not happen and the film just collected 65L in 1st week and will close with less than Rs 1 crore collections in Kerala.

Incidentally, C. Prem Kumar’s previous film 96 did terrific business in Kerala with an 8 Cr gross. This figure was bigger than many star heroes’ record figures at that time. Unfortunately, this film has been rejected by the audience.

Devara’s 1st week falls short of Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD

Devara starring NTR opened to great numbers at the box office worldwide. The film has also managed to gross more than 300 crores after the first weekend. Devara has managed to beat Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD on the opening day but failed to continue the same lead till the second weekend. Devara’s 1st week performance falls short of Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD.

Kalki 2898 AD holds the top spot in the 1st week segment with 216.65 crores share followed by Salaar with 181.2 crores share. Devara stands at third with 150.80 crores share. Devara still had an extraordinary 1st week with 95% recovery. But the film couldn’t cross Salaar and Kaki 2898 AD in the first week. With this, it became evident that Devara can’t overtake both these films in the full run as well.

Devara may end up somewhere around 500 crores gross in the full run. The film has already touched the 400 crore mark worldwide according to the makers. Devara will have a great run in this weekend due to the advantage of Dussehra holidays. The film has also grossed more than 50 crores gross in the Hindi belt showing a decent run status there.

Shankar’s foolish decision killed Indian 3

Director Shankar planned making a sequel to yesteryear blockbuster, Indian/Bharateeyudu. The film went to sets and everyone was prepared for a sequel i.e,. Indian 2. But Shankar had thought otherwise and came up with another sequel in the form of Indian 3 making it a series. This foolish decision of Shankar has now killed Indian 3 theatrically. It is rumoured Indian 3 would be arriving on OTT directly.

Indian 2 which released this year became one of the biggest disasters in both Telugu and Tamil versions. Many had trolled Shankar for filming many unnecessary and lagging scenes. This attitude of Shankar to drag the film to another sequel has backfired. No one was impressed with what was shown in Indian 2. It felt like the entire story and content was concentrated only in Indian 3 which was also indicative in the trailer that was released at the climax of Indian 2.

Shankar even backed the plan of making one more film in the form of Indian 3. He said that this decision was not taken to cash in on the craze for sequels these days. But everyone understood this gimmick played by Shankar for Indian 2 after watching the film. It could have been very good if both films were made as one film. But Shankar’s foolish decision has killed what he had thought of doing for the sequel of Indian. Now, he must bounce back with Game Changer starring Ram Charan.

NTR breaks the Rajamouli curse, Ram Charan up next

Tollywood Director SS Rajamouli is known for directing many blockbusters. He is a lucky charm for many producers but also a nightmare for the lead Actors in other way. Whoever acts in Rajamouli’s film in the lead role would face a box office disappointment with his next film. This had been happening for all the Actors. But NTR has finally broken this Rajamouli curse with his Devara. Now, all eyes are on Ram Charan who is up next with his Game Changer.

Devara which released recently has grossed more than 300 crores worldwide. The film is also running strong in the week days as well. With this, NTR has officially broken the Rajamouli curse that was upon many Actors including him. Ram Charan too had a release after RRR in the form of Acharya. But he played an extended cameo and couldn’t be considered as a solo film since Chiranjeevi was the lead Actor in it.

Game Changer is Ram Charan’s solo film and this should be considered as his next film after RRR. Ram Charan is also expected to break Rajamouli curse with his Game Changer which is slated for release during next year’s Sankranthi. The teaser of the film is set to release during the Dussehra season as well. So, let’s wait and see how Game Changer deals with the Rajamouli curse.
