NTR changes his mind after Agnyaathavaasi!

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”] 

How often do you see a Telugu film topping the US box-office collections? But Agnyaathavaasi did it. Such is the phenomenal craze, fan following and stardom of Power Star Pawan Kalyan. The movie grossed over $1.5M in the US, even before its first screening. On release, the film fell flat and received mixed to poor reviews. The film was criticized for its script, narration and lame comedy.

On a whole, what seemed to be a movie of the decade (apart from Baahubali), turned out to be the biggest disaster in Pawan Kalyan’s and Trivikram’s career. More shockingly, the film collected over Rs. 60 crores worldwide on its first day.

Critics compared Trivikram’s script to that of a spineless human. Even his trademark dialogues were missing. All that was pitched, is a repetitive piece of shit and lame gay-style of comedy.

The film has been an eye opener, not only to ardent followers of Trivikram but also to Jr. NTR. The Nandamuri hero’s next film will be in the direction of Trivikram. Jr. NTR hero has reportedly asked his in-house writers and a director to verify the script, and check for comedy episodes and action sequences.

After the episode between director Vivek and Katthi Mahesh viral, RGV tweeted that, he wants to work as an assistant to Vivek (who previously worked under RGV).

Indirectly, RGV’s supported Katthi Mahesh’s review of the film. In the review, Katthi Mahesh claimed, the film has failed on all fronts, both as a wholesome entertainer or something that can be appealing to the fans alone.

Katthi Mahesh was on cloud nine after Varma’s tweet. He replied, ‘Thank you sir’, and retweeted RGV’s tweet. RGV and Katthi Mahesh duo faced a severe backlash from Pawan Kalyan fans. Few went to the extent of questioning the credibility of the duo, to comment on a Pawan Kalyan film. But joining this league, is Jabardasth fame, comedian Hyper Adi. He criticized the duo by comparing them to white crow.With Agnyaathavaasi disappointing outing at the box office, trade experts believe that Katthi Mahesh has an added advantage in his row with Pawan Kalyan fans.

Oh yes! The moment you read ‘Ram Gopal Varma’ you know you are in for an exciting scoop. And we are not to disappoint you. If any Indian moviegoer says, he doesn’t know who is RGV, he is got to be a liar! RGV, who is known for his blockbuster films in the past, is equally famous for his nasty and teasing tweets in recent times.

RGV who is known for his bold statements and cult films grabbed every filmmaker and moviegoer’s attention. The director who had come up with films like ‘Sathya’, ‘Sarkar’, Rangeela, ‘Raktha Charithra’, ‘Veerappan’ has ventured onto the small screen. The director has recently launched the trailer of his web-series ‘Kadapa’ which became famous for bold, rude, raw and pure content.

The acclaimed controversial filmmaker is coming up with a philosophical treatise of Mia Malkova, an adult star. The short film is titled ‘God Sex Truth’. A photo surfaced online, with RGV explaining a scene to nude Mia Malkova. Indians are going bonkers watching the ‘uncensored’ hotness of Mia Malkova.

Mia Malkova shoot took place in Europe. Mia Malkova is often credited with helping many boys evolve into men! (I hope you people know what I meant). Mia Malkova will be the second adult (porn) star after Sunny Leone, to be captured in the frame by RGV.

Thanks To Rajini, Lord Venkateswara Into Tamil Politics!

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”] 

Thanks to Rajinikanth, the DMK party has started its attack against the Kali-Yuga Daivam Lord Venkateswara (or Yedukondalavadu). After he announced his political entry on December 31st, 2017, Rajinikanth sent shockwaves across the political sphere in Tamil Nadu.

DMK feels that Rajinikanth’s notion of ‘Spiritual’ politics could have an impact (religious) on the voters. To counterattack this, the DMK has already come up with a unique plan. MK Stalin has reportedly asked his party members and followers to carry out ‘Atheist Meetups’ across Tamil Nadu.

As a part of their strategy, former TN CM Karunanidhi’s daughter, DMK MP, Kanimoli targeted Lord Venkateswara itself. Speaking at a public gathering, Kanimoli said, Lord Venkateswara is only for the rich and not for the common man. ‘A common man has to wait for long hours to have his Darshan. If he is really a god, why does his temple need security? He cannot even protect his own hundi, leave about people.

Religion has brought more bloodshed than the wars in the history of mankind. Only Atheism has the power to unite everyone on this planet. Religion is solely responsible for communal violence,’ said Kanimoli. The MP’s latest comments not only shook Tamil Nadu but also the whole nation.

DMK, which is born out of the Dravidian Movement, took taken a similar stance in the past. With time, the party has toned down the concept ‘atheism’. With Rajinikanth’s ‘Spiritual’ politics on the cards, DMK is once again evoking the spirit of Dravidian movement in the Tamil people.

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]

The moment the news broke out that, Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram Srinivas are teaming up, buyers (distributors) from around the state competed to purchase the distribution rights of the film. Naturally, the stardom and fan following of Pawan Kalyan, the reputation of Director Trivikram Srinivas and the Industry hit of ‘Attarintiki Daredi’ which came in the combination of PK-Trivikram shot the price of the theatrical rights to an all-time high. The movie’s theatrical rights were reportedly sold for Rs.95 crores in Telugu states alone. Even the US premiers collected close to $1.2M.

But shockingly, the film opened with mixed reviews, with few even question Trivikram’s credibility as the director. Everyone expected the film to break all Non-Baahubali records. Disappointingly, the film did not live up to its expectations. Be it because of the inspired (copied) story, or poor narration, or whatever, the film remained as any other commercial flick.

Now, the buyers who have shelled large sums for the theatrical rights are left in the middle of the sea. The buyers and distributors are nowhere to be seen in the media, claiming record collections. Trade analysts predict, the loss to be massive, especially in areas regions like Nizam and north-coastal Andhra Pradesh. It is reported, the losses are expected to be around Rs. 75 crores. The buyers are hoping that Pawan Kalyan might come to their rescue, after all, he is the only reason for them to shell out massive sums for the movie.

Agnyaathavaasi Review – Agnyaathavaasi loses his way, thanks to 3Vikram

Agnyaathavaasi Movie Review and Rating

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”] 

Power Star Pawan Kalyan and ‘wizard of words’ Trivikram, who previously gave blockbuster hits like Jalsa and Attarintiki Daredi, came up with their third instalment, ‘Agnyaathavaasi’. Various rumours and incidents prior to the film’s release further increased the hype around the film. Be it Katthi Mahesh, Largo Winch, or even Pawan Kalyan’s political stance, all these thrust the film’s craze to sky-high.

Story:

The film’s tag, ‘Prince in Exile’ sums up the story in one line. Govinda Bhargav (Boman Irani) and his son are killed by their rivals, in a bid to take over their company. Little did they know about another heir, Abhishikth Bhargava aka AB (Pawan Kalyan). AB joins in their own company as an employee, in an attempt to find out who killed his father and brother. What is Indrani (Kushboo) to AB? Who killed Govinda Bhargav? Did AB find the culprits? To find, watch the movie on the big screen.

Analysis:

Leaving aside the ‘inspiration’ from Largo Winch, Trivikram falls flat throughout the film. The screenplay and script are run-of-the-mill. The film is clearly a one man’s show, and don’t be surprised to see PK almost in every frame. Though the concept of raising an heir away from the money-ridden world seems striking, Trivikram fails to establish the character development of the heir.

One wonders why the heroines even exist in the first place, given their highly-limited screen presence. The director fails to continue an interesting point, between the two heroines, in which a heroine narrates a problem as if it is her problem to impress the other heroine. The routine slapstick comedy further weakens the script. There is hardly any build-up between the hero and the villain in the movie. All you have is a repetitive story, with heroines’ serving their glamour and irritating slapstick comedy.

Apart from a few trademark dialogues, Trivikram has failed miserably in direction, narration and script work of the movie. Looks like Trivikram has taken the Telugu audience for granted this time.

The only saviour in the film is a couple of comedy scenes, and performance of Pawan Kalyan. The action sequences can be remembered, only if you did not watch Largo Winch. By all means, this is the weakest film in Trivikram’s career, and surely a disappointing one by Pawan standards. Shockingly, it takes more time to remember the character’s names, then their screen time.

Positives:

  • Pawan Kalyan
  • Story
  • Kushboo
  • Music and Cinematography
  • Few dialogues

 Drawbacks:

  • Narration
  • Pale and Slapstick Comedy
  • Lack of characterization
  • Excluding Kushboo & PK, rest all characters don’t have any value
