Tollywood Actor Pawan Kalyan is gearing up to join film sets soon. The Actor has become too busy with his political commitments. He has put on hold three films he stars in the lead role for these activities. Now he wants to finish these films soon. With three films going on sets at a same time, it will definitely be a triple treat from Pawan Kalyan for fans in 2025.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG are said to start in September-October and will likely be completed in this year. OG has already been planned to release in Summer season next year by March end. Hari Hara Veera Mallu is being planned for late summer release probably by May/June next year. Ustaad Bhagat Singh shoot is also likely to start in early 2025. This will also be released by the end of 2025.

With three films lined up, Pawan Kalyan is set to rule 2025 with back to back releases. He will obviously pay off the debt to his fans and audience who have been waiting eagerly for few years. The Actor has not yet okayed any other project other than these projects. It has to be seen if he accepts any other film to act after finishing these three films.

Devara starring NTR is one of the most awaited films of Tollywood. The film is all set for release on 27th September worldwide. Censor formalities for the film have also been completed recently. The film was awarded U/A certificate as well. Now, Devara’s Telugu States breakeven details have also come out and let’s have a look at them.

The Telugu States pre-bizz is very good. It is said to be in the range of 52 crores for Coastal AP (6 Territories) including GST and Ceded region with 25 crores ratio. Nizam price is around 42 crores including GST. Overall the film needs to collect 120 crores share only from Telugu States with GST. It will definitely be an easy task considering the film’s hype. If the film gets a positive word of mouth then it may even go beyond the number in a large scale.

Sithara Entertainments headed by Naga Vamsi has bought Telugu States rights and sold it to individual buyers. Devara is a crucial film for both NTR and Director Koratala Shiva. NTR wants to establish himself as a Pan Indian star with the film besides Koratala Shiva who wants to bounce back from his previous disaster, Acharya.

Mathu Vadalara 2 Movie Review : Satya delivers big time in this crime thriller with some issues

0

Movie Name: Mathu Vadalara 2
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Sri Simha, Satya, Faria Abdullah, Vennela Kishore, Sunil
Director: Ritesh Rana
Produced By:  Mythri Movie Makers & Clap Entertainment
Release Date: September 13th, 2024,

Mathu Vadalara 2, the much-awaited sequel of the 2019 comedy thriller Mathu Vadalara is here and there’s quite some excitement among fans to see what Ritesh Rana has packed this time. The first film was a sleeper hit laced with amazing entertainment chiefly driven by Satya’s impeccable timing. The success of part 1 has created major anticipation for the movie and Satya’s Yesudasu character. Let’s see if the movie has managed to recreate the magic of the first film.

Story:

Babu Mohan (Sri Simha) and Yesuadasu (Satya) are special agents and part of the HE Team, a unit specializing in solving kidnappings. Just like in the first part, the duo manages to swindle some money from their kidnap rescues. Things take a drastic turn when Babu and Yesudasu find themselves entangled in murder accusations. What’s this mystery and how they manage to get out of this mess is what the movie follows.

Performances:

Sri Simha has shown decent improvement from his debut film but has a long way to go. Satya as Yesudasu is the soul of the movie and balances the movie on his shoulders. His one-liners, impeccable timing, and unique delivery make the first half extremely entertaining. He has stood up to expectations and single-handedly makes Mathu Vadalara 2 enjoyable. Faria Abdullah and a special agent along with Sunil performed decently. Vennela Kishore as a movie star manages to deliver some laughs but his potential has been wasted here.

Analysis:

Mathu Vadalara 2 has been shot on a bigger scale and the production values are impressive. Comparisons are bound to happen with Mathu Vadalara and that’s where this sequel may fall short. Satya has held the movie together and is the soul of this crime comedy. However, barring a few twists and interval blocks, the movie falls short of delivering the thrills and surprises. The movie often wanders away into a different zone due to silly sub-tracks and poor characterizations such as Vennela Kishore’s and Ajay’s. It fails to grasp the audience’s attention in a way a crime thriller should. If only the second-half writing choices were better, Mathu Vadalara 2 would have been a riot and delivered what it ventured out to.

Positives:

  • Satya
  • Dialogues
  • First half entertainment
  • Interval twist

Negatives:

  • Second half writing
  • Vennela Kishore track
  • Certain unnecessary scenes

Verdict:

Overall, Mathu Vadalara 2 evokes laughter, surprise, and thrills as it promised. However, one would feel the film couldn’t live up to its potential completely due to some poor writing choices. Watch it if you’re a fan of the genre and definitely watch it for Satya.
