ETV Win Lands in Caste Controversy

ETV Win’s latest web series, AIR (All India Rankers), started streaming a few days back, and it is receiving a good response for the content. However, ETV Win lands in caste controversy because of the AIR web series.

The series is about hostels and students’ lives, and the caste part is also involved in it. This has hurt a section of viewers, as they felt they were targeted.

Even though such kinds of disputes or fights happen in real life, making fun of a particular caste, i.e., ‘chowdary,’ is certainly a mistake on the part of the streaming platform.

The Public’s Favorite Platform, ETV Win Lands in an Unexpected Caste Controversy

ETV Win lands in a caste controversy because of the AIR web series. The producer, Sandeep Raj, also faced the heat along with the digital platform, and they apologized to the hurt ones.

The digital platform said that from now on it will make sure that no particular community or caste of people will be hurt by its content. 

The viewers could not believe that such a kind of caste comedy was streaming on ETV Win, as Ramoji Rao belonged to the same caste, and everyone saw him as an ICON.

AIR (All India Rankers) is a coming-of-age web series featuring Harsh Roshan in the lead. On Sunday, the makers announced the release date for the series. It is produced by Colour Photo fame Sandeep Raaj in association with Surya Vasupalli. 

Debutant Joseph Clinton Chevveti is the writer and director of the show. While Bhanu Prakash and Jayatheertha play the other two leads, the ensemble cast includes prominent names like Harsha Chemudu, Ramana Bhargav, Chaitanya Rao Madadi, Jeevan Kumar, Akshara, and Sunil. Producer Sandeep Raj appears in a significant role as well.

Uppu Kappurambu: An Interesting But Uneven Ride

Movie: Uppu Kappurambu
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Suhas Pagolu, Keerthy Suresh, Babu Mohan, Shatru, Talluri Rameshwari, Subhalekha Sudhakar, Ravi Teja, Vishnu O.I, Duvvasi Mohan, Sivannarayana, Prabhavathi Varma
Director: Ani I.V.Sasi
Streaming On: Prime Video

Uppu Kappurambu is a Telugu film that is directly released on OTT. Starring Keerthy Suresh and Suhas in the main roles, this rural drama is directed by Ani I.V. Sasi, known for Ninnila Ninnila. The movie is currently available on Amazon Prime Video and is streaming in various languages. Check out our review to see how it fares.

Story:

Set in the 1990s, in a quirky village named Chitti Jayapuram, Apoorva (Keerthy Suresh) becomes the village leader even though she has no experience in governance.

At the same time, Chinna (Suhas), a gravedigger, lives there with his mother and is fighting cancer.

During a panchayat meeting, Chinna brings up a strange yet urgent concern: there are only four available spots left in the village graveyard. Suddenly, every villager is eager to claim a spot for themselves.

To add to the emotional weight, Chinna’s mother has a final wish. The story revolves around how Apoorva attempts to solve this issue, how Suhas assists her, and how he honors his mother’s last request.

Performances:

Keerthy Suresh plays an entirely different role in Uppu Kappurambu. Her quirky look and exaggerated body language in the beginning are clearly intentional, adding humor.

Although her performance feels strange at first, she eventually fits into the role and gives a believable performance as her character develops. Her willingness to take on such a role is admirable.

Suhas once again shows he is a natural actor. As a gravedigger, he gives a solid and impactful performance.

Babu Mohan as Muttayya and Shatru as Madhu Babu both bring lighthearted moments that enhance the effect. Talluri Rameshwari, despite having limited screen time, plays a crucial emotional role that supports the main conflict

Analysis:

Director Ani I.V. Sasi takes on a unique, quirky, and bold idea. It’s not a typical story, but it gets better as it progresses. The mix of humor and emotion is evident, but the initial moments and certain scenes in the film are overdone, disrupting the flow. 

The narrative gathers strength with the friendship of Apoorva and Chinna becoming stronger, and the second half, for the most part, is engaging, and the final moments, where Apoorva becomes the true leader, work well.

Positives:

  • Unique Plot
  • Performances of Keerthy Suresh and Suhas
  • Second Half

Negatives:

  • Dull Scenes in the First Half
  • Some Repetitive/Over The Top Scenes

Uppu Kappurambu Movie Review and Verdict:

Ani I.V. Sasi’s Uppu Kappurambu is a quirky rural drama. Despite the uneven initial moments and a few over-the-top scenes working against it, the film also features enjoyable moments and a strong climax, guided by Keerthy Suresh’s impressive performance, backed by Suhas, making it a decent watch.

Cricketer Suresh Raina Steps into Tamil Cinema

The connection between cricket and movies has always been an everlasting one in India. The IPL has made it more strong, as Tamil cinema fans love their franchise, Chennai Super Kings. The link now has a local touch as Cricketer Suresh Raina steps into Tamil Cinema.

No Weekend Push for Kannappa

Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa was released in theaters last week amidst decent buzz; it had a good day 1 at the box office. However, the trend went downward with each day, and even on the weekend, there is no push for Kannappa.

As said above, the film had a decent opening and saw a drop on the 1st weekend. Thereafter, it completely dropped on weekdays, and the film has collected around 17 Cr share till now.

Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa fails to show any growth on the second weekend

Yesterday, Nithiin’s Thammudu was released and received a negative response, so the trade expected that the devotional movie would take advantage of it.

However, even on the weekend, there is no push for Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa. Most likely this weekend will be the closing for the film, with the final share being under 20 Cr. 

This is Manchu Vishnu’s career’s highest-grossing film, but considering the budget and stars involved in it, the Kannappa movie will end as a box-office failure.
