ReviewFrom the opening scene to the last shot, there is not one moment in Varun Tej’s ‘Gandeevadhari Arjuna’ that excites the audience. The film has a highly predictable plot with zero drama. Director Praveen Sattaru seems to have been so fascinated by the John Wick series that he tried to introduce a similar style in Telugu cinema with Gandeevadhari Arjuna. True to the genre, there are no redundant songs or other distractions, but is that enough? The brief of Gandeevadhari Arjuna, starring Varun Tej and Sakshi Vaidya, could have been ‘John Wick meets Tollywood’ when the director set out to make it. But with its mishmash of Hollywood and Telugu film cliches, Praveen Sattaru delivers an extremely subpar film, possibly worse than his last film The Ghost starring Nagarjuna. In Gandeevadhari Arjuna, Arjun (Varun Tej) is a former Raw (Research and Analysis Wing) agent. He is accidentally hired to...

Mumbai, Aug 2 (Ians) Actor Varun Tej’s upcoming Telugu film, ‘Gandeevadhari Arjuna’ is leaving no stone unturned to bring the style and elegance to the audience. The film, which is directed by Praveen Sattaru, features a vintage car, a 1969 Mustang Mach 1.
The car, named ‘Baby’, was used in a crucial sequence in the UK, and adds an interesting element to the action entertainer.

He spent three months tracking down and acquiring the car from an 80-year-old man in the UK who had purchased it in his teens.
The car is said to play an important role in the film and has a lot of significance in the protagonist’s journey.

ReviewWhile director Praveen Sattaru’s ‘The Ghost’ has some slick action sequences, there is no compelling story, which is made worse by a contrived screenplay.Balakrishna GaneshanScreenshot/YouTubeNagarjuna’s The Ghost competed at the box-office with megastar Chiranjeevi’s Godfather, a remake of the Malayalam film Lucifer. But director Praveen Sattaru’s The Ghost is not completely an original film either. It is a mix of many Hollywood films, particularly Avengers: Endgame and John Wick. The tragedy of replicating scenes from these films is that both are super popular and audiences can spot them easily. Nagarjuna plays Vikram, an Interpol officer who is an excellent marksman. His daily work involves gunning down criminals. Priya (Sonal Chauhan) is his colleague and girlfriend. The duo eliminates criminals with perfect headshots – like it’s a video game. After situations force Vikram to retire, his anger, triggered by past trauma, ruins his relationship with Priya and they break up.

TollywoodTelugu films these days have reached a stage where characters often talk about surgical strikes, Article 370, patriotism, and terrorism among many other such issues. Hemanth Kumar C RIn the last couple of decades, Telugu cinema has largely stuck to a singular definition of who a hero is and what he can do. Film after film showed us a hero, who turns into a messiah for the poor and downtrodden, who uplifts and inspires a community or people in a region to fight back the tyranny of a corrupt politician, businessmen, and the establishment. And in some films, the heroes, spent most of their time in a foreign country, before they decide that it’s time to go home and clean up the system. In a way, this has been the core essence of numerous Telugu films and how its protagonists have tried to stay rooted to the local milieu. But...

Tollywood2017 was a glorious year for Telugu cinema with many hits, new stars on the block, and celebrities who made news for all the right and wrong reasons.Hemanth Kumar C R2017 couldn’t have been a better year for Telugu cinema with films like Baahubali 2 and Khaidi No 150 setting the cash registers ringing. From SS Rajamouli’s epic drama to Sekhar Kammula’s pleasantly surprising Fidaa, it was a year which had something for everyone. Here are 10 things that hogged the limelight this year in the Telugu film industry. Team Baahubali 2 SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus Baahubali 2 was the biggest film to have emerged from Tollywood in 2017. It broke the myth that there can’t be a pan-Indian film in contemporary Indian cinema. From Punjab to Kerala, the film received a unanimous thumbs up from the critics and audiences alike. But more than that, the success turned SS Rajamouli into a national treasure and for once, a Telugu film soared high on a national scale. The film, starring Prabhas, Anushka, Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah, Ramya Krishna and Sathyaraj, was hailed for its storytelling, visual effects, production design, music. No wonder, it went on to amass a jaw-dropping Rs 1600 crores and more at the box-office. In Hindi alone, the film crossed Rs 500 crores (nett), a first for any film in Bollywood so far. Chiranjeevi returns to the arena; Rajasekhar defies all odds Megastar Chiranjeevi returned to the silver screen for his first full-fledged role in more than nine years with Khaidi No 150. Directed by Vv Vinayak, the film was a remake of Kaththi; however, it was the sight of Chiranjeevi dancing to the tunes of ‘Ammadu Let’s Do Kummudu’ which turned into euphoria across cinema halls in January this year. The film also proved that Chiranjeevi’s mojo hasn’t diminished at all despite the long hiatus from films. On the other hand, 2017 was also a special year for actor Rajasekhar who scored his first hit in more than 15 years or so, thanks to Praveen Sattaru’s Psv Garuda Vega. The film’s success was the answer to all the critics and naysayers who questioned Praveen Sattaru about why he was working with Rajasekhar in first place. The drug scandal Tollywood faced the heat from a special investigation team (Sit), which questioned several high-profile celebrities including Ravi Teja, Puri Jagannadh, Navdeep, Mumaith Khan, Subba Raju to name a few. The events leading up to this interrogation were dramatic to say the least. Soon after news broke out that hundreds of teenagers in some of the most renowned schools of Hyderabad had become victims of drug abuse, a drug dealer is also said to have named several celebrities from the Telugu film industry as his clients. Days after questioning all these celebs, the Sit didn’t arrest anyone. But it did send a strong signal that drug abuse is a criminal offence. Balakrishna pulls off a big surprise His 100th film Gautamiputra Satakarni got everyone talking about the actor’s ability to pull off a historical drama and it went on to become the biggest hit in Balakrishna’s career. But that’s hardly the most surprising news that we heard about the actor in 2017. In November, when the AP state government announced its Nandi awards for 2014, 2015 and 2016, it came as a huge shock to everyone that Balakrishna was chosen as the Best Actor for his film Legend. Incidentally, the film also won the Nandi Award for Best Feature Film in a year when other films like Manam and Race Gurram too were in contention. Let’s just say, we were as surprised as you are. Pawan Kalyan’s political run begins After nearly three years, Pawan Kalyan finally became quite active in the political scenario. Right from meeting students to understand their aspirations to addressing an august gathering at Harvard, 2017 was a busy year for Pawan Kalyan. The actor-and-politician also outlined the principles of his political party ‘Jana Sena’ and he began an unique recruitment drive, where aspirants were required to clear a written exam to become a member of the party. That’s not all. Pawan Kalyan was quite forthright about his political views, even if it meant standing up to Tdp and Bjp’s policies at the state and the central level. Dil Raju’s double hattrick Dil Raju, one of Telugu cinema’s biggest producers, is on cloud nine and quite rightfully so. He created a sensation by scoring six hits back-to-back in 2017 alone, a unique record in recent times. No other producer has had such a glorious run in a single year. Period. Starting from Sharwanand’s Shatamanam Bhavati, Dil Raju tasted success with Nenu Local, Duvvada Jagannadham, Fidaa, Raja The Great, and finally McA. The producer even celebrated the success of this defining moment in his career by inviting all the actors and directors, who worked with him in 2017, and felicitated each one of them at a grand ceremony. Spyder’s debacle When Spyder was first announced, with Mahesh Babu playing the lead role, the general consensus was that it just couldn’t go wrong. After all, it was being directed by Ar Murugadoss, who had films like Thuppaki and Kaththi to his credit in recent times. The film was produced with a budget of more than Rs 100 crores and it was billed as one of the most expensive south Indian films at the time of its release. However, the result came as a rude shock to everyone who was betting big on the film. The story, which was based on an intelligence officer’s race against time to stop a psycho from wrecking havoc in a city, didn’t resonate with the masses and it was one of the biggest flops of the year at the box-office. Chai-Sam wedding It was a fairytale wedding that was made of the stuff of dreams. That Naga Chaitanya and Samantha were going to get married in 2017 was on everyone’s mind, and the wedding itself lived up to the buzz surrounding the grand ceremony. Prior to his son’s wedding, Nagarjuna had told the media that it’s going to be a private affair with only close friends and family members attending the event. The wedding took place in Goa, and later, the family threw a grand reception in Chennai and Hyderabad. If we had to pick one moment which made everyone smile, it was the sight of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha saying ‘I Do’ at the wedding ceremony. A new ray of hope For the longest time, Telugu film industry had come under the scanner for not offering strong characters to women actors. However, 2017 had a different story to tell. In Sai Pallavi, Anushka, Shalini Pandey, Nivetha Thomas, Nivetha Pethuraj, Eesha, and Rakul Preet, the industry found a new ray of hope. While Anushka turned her role (Devasena) in Baahubali 2 into a warrior queen who commanded respect and admiration in equal measure, Sai Pallavi made us fall in love with her onscreen persona in Fidaa. And then, there were others like Nivetha Thomas and Nivetha Pethuraj who delivered strong performances in Ninnu Kori and Mental Madhilo respectively. Rakul Preet too made her mark with her role in Rarandoi Veduka Choodham. A new star is born If one had to pick the Best Actor in 2017, it all narrows down to two choices - Prabhas (Baahubali 2) and Vijay Devarakonda (Arjun Reddy). Baahubali 2 was testimony to Prabhas’ unrelenting faith in SS Rajamouli and his portrayal of the lead character, Amarendra Baahubali was his best yet. And then, the Telugu film industry found a new star in Vijay Devarakonda who stunned everyone in Arjun Reddy. The sight of a man who broke every rule that defines what a Telugu film hero can do on screen is hard to forget after watching Vijay hogging the limelight in Arjun Reddy. Clearly, the contest will go down the wire between the two.
