0

NTR’s Bollywood debut film, War 2, is all set to enthrall his fans in another five weeks. The makers are doing their best to keep the momentum going in Telugu, and the latest news is that War 2 will have 4 AM shows in Telugu states at premium pricing. 

The film stars Hrithik Roshan, and it is made primarily in Hindi, but Telugu audiences are also very much interested in it, as it stars Tarak. Notable producer Naga Vamsi bought the Telugu states theatrical rights to the film and sold it for an 85 Cr business ratio.

As said above, even though the sequel to War is a Bollywood film, it carries big buzz in Telugu due to the presence of the Devara actor.

NTR and Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 will have 4 AM shows in Telugu states at premium pricing. The ticket price will be 500 Rs in both Telugu states. This is a very good strategy, and it will work big.

Since it is not a straight Telugu movie, the makers cannot go with 800/900; 500 should be fine for the excited fans and movie lovers who want to watch the film at the earliest.

Additionally, the team is likely to request a reasonable hike in ticket prices for regular shows. Surely, this is a good strategy by distributors.

Special Ops Season 2: A Decent Espionage Thriller With Some Uneven Parts

0

Web Series Name: Special Ops Season 2
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Kay Kay Menon, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Karan Tacker, Prakash Raj, Vinay Pathak, Sayami Kher, and others
Created by: Neeraj Pandey and Shivam Nair
Streaming on: Jio Hotstar

Consisting of 7 episodes in total, Special Ops Season 2 is the second edition of Neeraj Pandey’s much-loved Spy Thriller Series on Jio Hotstar. Kay Kay Menon returns as Himmat Singh, who tries to protect his country from cyberattacks along with his team. Let us find out how this most anticipated show fares in our review.

Story:

In an AI-driven era, the tale begins with the abduction of India’s leading scientist, Dr. Piyush Bhargav. At the same time, someone takes out an intelligence officer. The situation is critical—Dr. Bhargav possesses key national secrets, and his absence risks the economy. Himmat Singh (Kay Kay Menon) is on a mission to save him from irreversible consequences.

Performances:

The series thrives on Kay Kay Menon’s presence. His presence commands respect through a look or words. He effectively conveys inner turmoil without losing sight of the mission. Menon elevates the scenes with his performance.

Karan Tacker showcases a captivating performance. Tahir Raj Bhasin portrays a unique villain who instills fear without violence, and he excels at it. Prakash Raj is great at showing a guy who’s powerless while everything goes downhill, but I find his character to be kind of annoying.

Gautami Kapoor, Muzammil Ibrahim, Parmeet Sethi, Arif Zakaria, and Shikha Talsania are all impressive; however, Sayami Kher feels like she’s not getting enough spotlight for her skills. Vinay Pathak doesn’t have a lot going on and does not make an impact.

Analysis:

Special Ops Season 2, crafted by Neeraj Pandey and directed by Shivam Nair, walks that fine line between being realistic and dramatic. 

It had a genuine vibe, but the writing needed to be tighter. The direction hits the mark, and the pacing works nicely, aside from a few bumps along the way. The standout feature is how the creators manage to keep you on the edge of your seat with their storytelling, all while avoiding too much blood and noise.

The scenes featuring Himmat Singh with his wife and daughter are just fantastic. Prakash Raj’s role as an ex-serviceman kind of slows things down and adds some boredom to the mix. 

Having the villain stay ahead of Himmat Singh until the very end is a neat idea, but it seems like the finale could’ve packed more punch after all that setup. 

Positives:

  • Main Story
  • Performances
  • Interesting Game between the Hero and Villain

Negatives:

  • Deviating Subplots
  • A Few Ups and Downs in the Middle Episodes
  • Over-Simplification of a Few Crucial Scenes

Special Ops Season 2 Review and Verdict:

Special Ops Season 2 delivers an engaging spy thriller with some uneven parts. Though a few unnecessary subplots and a few odd moments work against it, Kay Kay Menon’s solid performance, genuine storytelling, and an intriguing plot make it work.

Actress Raashi Khanna stars in Siddu Jonnalagadda’s Telusu Kada, set to be released this Diwali. Meanwhile, the actress gets a big opportunity. Raashi Khanna joins Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh.

Coming with the combination of Pawan and director Harish Shankar, Ustad Bhagat Singh has raised huge hopes among fans. The fans are so confident about this film, as it brings back the blockbuster Gabbar Singh combo.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh is not a Remake of Theri?

Initially, it was rumored that this movie was a remake of the movie Theri. Later, it is said that Harish Shankar has completely changed the script and prepared a new script for Pawan Kalyan.

Sree Leela plays the female lead role opposite Pawan in this mass commercial entertainer. Now, the latest news is that another heroine has entered the movie’s team. Raashi Khanna joins Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh.

Fans discuss that Sree Leela is the main heroine in the film, and Raashi Khanna plays the second heroine, but we have to wait for the film’s release or promos to confirm that.

Mythri Movie Makers backs this biggie. Pawan Kalyan, who has already completed the shooting of OG and Hari Hara Veera Mallu, has now allotted dates for UBS. 

While he is busy in politics on one hand, the film unit is completing the shooting of the film at a fast pace by using his dates perfectly.
