RAAKA Tests Allu Fans’ Patience

Allu Arjun, who became famous across India with his movies Pushpa 1 and 2, is now making big-budget, large-scale films.He worked with director Atlee on RAAKA, but for his next movie, AA23, he is teaming up with Lokesh Kangaraj.

RAAKA was announced with a lot of excitement.
The pre-announcement created a big buzz.But after that, there hasn't been much news about the film.

Besides the release of Allu Arjun's first look and the title reveal, the team hasn't shared any important updates.


This has frustrated Allu Arjun's fans, who are eagerly waiting for more information about RAAKA.
Since director Atlee's birthday is this month on September 21, fans are hoping for a major update from both the film and the director.

At least, fans expect a glimpse or a teaser from RAAKA soon.
It's now up to Atlee and his team to provide something exciting that will satisfy Allu Arjun's loyal fans.

Chandrayan: Intriguing Journey Begins With A Rocket

The motion poster for Chandrayan has sparked interest because of its unique and unusual idea along with a strong Telangana feel.It comes from Venu Udugula, who previously made Raju Weds Rambai successfully.The film is set to be a funny and exciting adventure that mixes a strange storyline with deep local connections.The movie is produced by Praveen Molaka under the Simba Screen Stories label and directed by Srinath Chandrasekhar.

The announcement video, called "Mandamarri to Chandrayan," grabs attention with a scene of a rocket heading into space while a song rooted in Telangana plays in the background.
The story centers around a simple but intriguing question: what happens when an average person from Telangana dreams of seeing the moon closely?The answer seems to be a fun-filled journey full of humor, innocence, and surprising twists.

The trailer shows three young people who decide to build their own rocket using everyday things like bike tires, a pressure cooker, and dumbbells.
Their ambitious Chandrayan mission brings up many questions about why they are doing it, what their journey will be like, and whether they can actually achieve something that even skilled scientists would find tough.The motion poster manages to keep the story a secret while creating excitement about what the trio will face.

The main cast includes Shiva kumar Dheekonda, Swapna Priyadarshini, Ravi Sivateja, Vamsidhar, Lokesh, and Balagam Satyanarayana.
Harsha Praveen handles the music, while Srinath Chandrasekhar writes the story, screenplay, and dialogues and also directs the film.The film is presented by Venu Udugula and produced by Praveen Molaka.

Vintage Mani Ratnam Seems to Be Back

After experiencing one of the biggest challenges of his career with *Thug Life*, director Mani Ratnam is coming back to the style that his fans have cherished for many years.

A preview of his new film, which features Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi in the main roles, has given people a new and exciting impression.
This movie doesn’t feel like the intense story of *Thug Life*; instead, it looks like a light-hearted love story with the classic style that Mani Ratnam is known for.The visuals are pleasing to the eye, and the background music by AR Rahman adds to the charm.

This time, Mani Ratnam has set the story in West Bengal, specifically in Kolkata.
The local trains of the city seem to be an important part of the film.This reminds fans of how Mani Ratnam used trains and city life in some of his earlier films.

The preview feels fresh but still has that familiar Mani Ratnam feel.
The way the visuals, setting, and romance are presented has already made movie lovers curious.

Along with the preview, the makers have shared that the film’s title will be revealed on September 7.
For now, the preview suggests that the vintage Mani Ratnam style might be back.

Toxic English Version Makes No Noise

Yash’s *Toxic*, which came out last week, got a really bad reaction all over the country.Even though fans tried to support the movie, most people didn’t like it at all.The film also got a lot of backlash for treating women in a bad way and showing unnecessary violence.

Because of this, the team stopped pushing the film, hoping the English version might bring in some viewers.
The English version was released today, but there wasn’t much buzz about it.

In fact, the release of the English version of the movie went almost unnoticed.
The English cut is a bit different from the original, and the makers hoped it would please the audience.However, the negative talk about the film had already spread a lot, and people just stopped paying attention.

With so many new movies coming out, *Toxic* got pushed aside, and there’s no chance it will make back money or gain anything new.
The film was a big financial loss everywhere it was shown.Before the release, there was some interest in the English version, but now, the complete silence about it coming out says everything.

Directed by Geethu Mohandas and produced by KVN Productions, the film featured Kiara Advani, Rukmini Vasanth, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, and Nayanthara in the female lead roles.

Another Superb Single Screen Coming Up In Hyderabad

 Hyderabad is getting another top-notch single-screen theater.Mythri is rapidly expanding its presence in Nizam's theaters.


Their Vimal theater in Balanagar is currently the best single-screen theater in Telangana. Now, they are doing the same with the Ganga theater in Dilsukhnagar.


They have taken over the theater on lease and are currently renovating it. It is ready to open this month.


The theater has a large 68-foot screen with a 4K BARCO Laser Projector. It also has 64 Channel Dolby Atmos Sound, just like the Vimal theater.


They have chosen SR Seats, which are known for being comfortable, in the auditorium. They are using the same seat categories from Top Class to Third Class.The theater will also have 25 Recliner Seats.


Vimal is already drawing a lot of people in the city, and Mythri is taking things up a notch with Ganga. This could push other single-screen theaters to improve their facilities sooner or later.

Irumudi May Not Stop Until The Paradise Arrives

 Ravi Teja's film Irumudi is still doing really well at the box office and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down.It has already made over 200 crores worldwide and is still drawing crowds to theaters in its second week.


People in the movie business think Irumudi has a great chance to keep running for a while because of the upcoming holidays.

This weekend is helping because Krishna Janmashtami falls on Friday, giving families and moviegoers more time to go see the film.


Another reason Irumudi is doing well is that there are no major Telugu films coming out this week.

Some smaller movies like Rambha Oorvasi Menaka, Romachakam, I'm Game, and a few others are releasing, but they aren't expected to compete with Irumudi.


The good news keeps going.

The next weekend also looks promising with a holiday on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, which could bring more people to theaters.


Even if the number of people watching drops, the film is still drawing audiences because of the good reviews and people who keep coming back.



With The Paradise set to come out on September 24, many in the industry think Irumudi could keep running successfully until then.

If that happens, it will add even more to its impressive box-office success.Let's see what happens.

Loki’s Rolex For Suriya’s Landmark 50th Film?

 Suriya is doing really well with his movies coming one after another.His latest film, Viswanath and Sons, was a big success, which has made people really curious about his next project.What's interesting is that he has already decided on the directors for his next two films, including his 50th movie.It has been reported that Lokesh Kanagaraj will be directing Suriya 50, and the film is called Rolex.


Suriya is making smart choices right now. After the commercial success of Karuppu, he chose to make Viswanath and Sons, which was a family-friendly film.He already has two films in the works.The 47th film is being directed by Jithu Madhavan, and the 48th could be under the production of Gnanvel Raja.


For his 49th film, he will be working with H Vinoth. H Vinoth is known for balancing good storytelling with commercial appeal.And for the 50th film, Suriya wants to focus on action, which is why Rolex is being considered for that project.


When Suriya appeared in Rolex in Vikram, many people felt that a standalone film was needed.

Even though both Lokesh and Suriya were ready to start the project immediately, it didn't happen right away.Now, it's likely that the project will start soon, marking a special milestone for Suriya.


On the other hand, H Vinoth is planning to cast Wamiqa Gabbi and Sai Abhyankar in Suriya49.

For the 50th film, Anirudh is expected to be the music director, with Lokesh Kanagaraj directing.After that, Lokesh is expected to work on Khaithi 2 with Karthi.
