Yevadu Movie Latest HD Poster


Ivan My Brother (YEVADU MALAYALAM DUBBED) Movie First Look


Ram Charan's Gang Leader Look!!! Watch Details



Ram Charan lost charm in his face due to excessive workouts and six pack abs that reflected in Toofan film. He got bad reviews for stiff looks and the young actor is quick to react. He has already put on few kilos and is looking good now. He is trying to come up with a rugged look in his new film.

Ram Charan is going to appear in a beard and spiked up hair in his next movie. He has already done a photo shoot to get the feedback about this look. Fans who saw a glimpse of Charan's new look are saying that his look is similar to that of Chiranjeevi's in Gangleader. Interestingly, Charan is playing a role that is similar to Gangleader in his next film, which will be directed by Krishna Vamsi.

This film is a family drama with enough commercial elements. Venkatesh will play Ram Charan's brother in this movie. Kajal is expected to team up with Charan in this untitled film. The shooting will start off in November and the movie will release in coming summer.

Can Attarintiki Daredi beat Magadheera record?


Pawan Kalyan's latest blockbuster Attarintiki Daredi has created history by collected a share of Rs. 47.74 crores in its first week. It has beaten the previous first week record by miles and the talk about it surpassing Magadheera's full run share turned out to be the hottest topic in trade. However, AD's dream run was affected to due to bandh call in Seema, Andhra regions. Collections on Friday were very less as the film was screened in very few theaters. 

Most of the theaters in Rayalaseema (Ceded) didn't screen single show on Friday and the effect of bandh was also visible in Uttarandhra (Vizag area). Agitations are still going on in Seemandhra region and Attarintiki Daredi Saturday collections too might not be in sync with its first week run. However, the film is running to packed houses in Nizam. All shows on Saturday and Sunday are either full or 90% full already in all the multiplexes.

Ranbir Kapoor's Besharam failed to impress and that is helping Attarintiki Daredi to be the first choice film for Hyderabad multiplex audience. If the situation in Seemandhra comes to normal from Monday, then Attarintiki Daredi can expect a decent second week share. Or else it will find tough to beat Gabbar Singh all time share, forget about Magadheera. Also it will face competition from Ramayya Vastavayya from third week, which is going to replace AD in many theaters as per pre release agreements.

Krishna rejects to act beside Venky & Charan

There is a news which starts surrounding in the film industry that, Veteran director Krishna Vamsi is ready to make a multi starrer film with Victory Venkatesh and Mega Power Star Ram Charan. It is also heard that super Star Krishna is playing a crucial role in this movie.
Super Star Krishna is also much more interested in this multi starrer project and liked the script which was narrated by director Krishna Vamsi. But Super Star Krishna rejected this offer as he is body won’t support him toact. This great actor entertained the audience with variety of roles at that period of time and finally retiring from his tenure.
Beyond Filmy Adda wishing this great actor a healthy retirement.

Charan's co-star is most dangerous'



Ram Charan's Zanjeer co-star and actress Priyanka Chopra has topped the list of the most dangerous celebrities in the Indian cyberspace this year, followed by Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, according to a study.

Priyanka knocked off Sunny Leone, who topped the list last year, but dropped to the ninth position this time, in the study by security software maker McAfee.

Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Kumar were in the top five in the study, which highlights how cybercriminals use celebrities to take advantage of fans seeking more information about their idols.

"In India where celebrities enjoy demigod status, cybercriminals often use their names to lure people to sites which host malicious software designed to compromise personal details and disrupt devices," McAfee India Centre VP Engineering (Consumer and Mobile Business Group) Venkata Subrahmanyam Krishnapur said.

This year, searching for a celebrity's name, with search terms like "wall paper", "videos" and "nude pictures" resulted in the highest instances of malware-laden sites.

Priyanka showed 79 infected search results, while Shah Rukh was at the second spot with 75 malicious sites, Salman ranked third, with 68 infected sites. The top-10 list was rounded off by Saif Ali Khan, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar, Sunny Leone and Hrithik Roshan.

Yevadu In Re-Shoot Mode



Here is the sensationa news about the Yevadu film, This movie completed its shooting and post production work long back and waiting for the Perfect release date and the inner sources says that  Mega Power Star Ram Charan is unhappy with outcome of  this film and he ordered makers to re-shoot particular sequences for a best output.Stay tuned for the official annoucement


Naayak pair is back again



Film Industry and Sentiments go hand-in-hand. A super hit combo is what most of the filmmakers would prefer while choosing the cast of their movies. Especially, if it is a lead pair such elements are a must. One such most successful lead pair in recent times is Ram Charan-Kajal Agarwal!

After delivering an Industry Hit like 'Magadheera' with their first film, Charan and Kajal scored another hit with the Sankranthi release 'Naayak' thus earning the tag hit pair. Obviously, Directors would try to bring them together again to recreate the magic and Krishna Vamsi has done exactly the same. Kajal have been roped to play the leading lady in Charan's multi-starrer project which also stars Superstar Krishna and Victory Venkatesh. Although Samantha was the first choice for female lead, our golden-leg beauty turned down the offer citing date issues and Kajal grabbed the crazy project. Officially, Magadheera pair is back once again to enthrall the movie lovers.


On the other hand, Anjali has been cast opposite Venky in this family entertainer. Bandla Ganesh is likely to produce this flick under his Parameswara Art Productions on a grand scale. The regular shoot is expected to begin in October this year.

Charan Wants Rest, NTR Wants Test?


This time it looks like Young Tiger is in the pursuit of testing waters while Ram Charan just want to see and relax. With agitations blowing the trumpets at peaks, our star heroes are getting ready to face the music one by one.
 
Ram Charan has tested the mood of Seemandhra people and Telangana agitators by releasing his Thoofan at a time when people are busy with non-stop agitations. Though he faced opposition in some areas about release of Thoofan, rest of the places the movie was exhibited without any hurdles. However the poor content has taken toll on Charan's luck anyway. Now, Charan's Yevadu is in the pipeline again but sources say producer Dil Raju is keen to push Jr NTR's Ramayya Vastavayya first. Though he blocked theatres for Sankranthi 2014 already, it looks like NTR's movie will make it to theatres in October second week itself.
 
It looks like Jr NTR himself is pressurizing Dil Raju to push Ramayya Vastavayya first. As such Junior will come to know what agitators will do to his flick with this release, he will plan better for his future stints. Otherwise, why would NTR love to release his movie at a time when agitations in Seemandhra are not dying down?

Anaganaga Oka Puli! Charan Or NTR



Yet another interesting title is being heard, and this time it is not just hoax but a big producer has already registered it. Though the name Puli reminds of Powerstar Pawan Kalyan for many, this time some other hero is going to be Puli it seems.
 
Producer BVSN Prasad has apparently registered the title 'Anaganaga Oka Puli' at film chamber giving rise to some exciting rumours in Film Nagar. Some say that this will be the title of an upcoming movie that features Mega Powerstar Ram Charan under the direction of Trivikram Srinivas. However few sources indicated that BVSN Prasad is contemplating the idea of using this title for a movie with Jr NTR. This movie is also having chances to be directed by Trivikram only. Though both these heroes are planning to work with this magical-director cum writer from a time, nothing is moving forward actually.
 
For now, producer Prasad is surely giving goose bumps to fans by keeping the hero for whom this title will be used in surprise. Stay connected to this page for more updates.

Bad time for Ram Charan


The latest reports have it that the Enforcement Directorate on Fridayhas possessed alleged Ram Charan's plot in association with unearthing of multi-crore Emaar Township scam.

Charan has apparently bought a 1545 square yard plot in Boulder Hills of Manikonda in Hyderabad and has made the payment. But due to allegations that plots were sold at around 50,000 rupees per square yard, and only 5,000 rupees per square yard was shown in the accounts thereby incurring steep losses to the AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation, ED has attached 19 plots of Emaar Hills Township and one among those attached is Ram Charan raising many eyeballs. Investigation is currently going on as it involved many other big wig names like Koneru Prasad's son, cricketer Chamundeswarinadh and others. The assets said to be worth of 72 crores has been attached by ED in the operation headed by city joint-director N Sridhar.

Of late, many opine that Charan is going through a rough ride both in his personal front and professional wise. After road-side brawl that took a severe beating on brand Ram Charan, his much awaited Bollywood debut Zanjeer tanked at Box Office. That's not all. Even his upcoming film Yevadu is yet to see the light of the day and stuck due to ongoing agitations due to bifurcation of the state. And with the latest news of ED cracking a whip on his property, more trouble is brewing for the Magadheera star. 

Dasari Targeted Charan and Kapus?



For a couple of months Darsakaratna Dasari Narayana Rao went into a mute mode when it comes to venting fumes on happenings in film industry. However he is back to his attacking game again, and this time he targeted quite a different stuff with some regular masala.
 
Every year AP government honours film personalities with awards like 'Raghupathi Venkaiah Naidu' award and BN Reddy award. Dasari stated that government has now removed the word 'Naidu' from Raghupathi Venkaiah Naidu award. He questioned why Naidu is chopped from that legendary's name when the tag 'Reddy' is still associated with BN Reddy and KV Reddy.
 
'We cannot chop out Raju from Alluri Seetharama Raju and Singh from Bhagat Singh. Though they stand for caste, some names shouldn't be touched in the name of caste-free society. So is the case with Raghupati Venkaih Naidu', said Dasari. However people cannot understand who got targeted with this blasting of our veteran director. Is he accusing that Kapu community big-wigs are not taking a step forward to talk about this?
 
Continuing his attack, Dasari added that North Indian critics, media and celebs always look down South celebs, and advised Telugu heroes to stop dreaming about B-town. He asked them to focus on native language first. Looks like Dasari watched Ram Charan's Thoofan last night!

Big Joke on Zanjeer

Big Joke on Zanjeer

With Ram Charan's Zanjeer turned out to be a damp squib at the Box Office, a spate of jokes are circulating in social media over the film. And the one that is raising many eyeballs is joke on a renowned Bollywood critic.

Though most of the reviews lashed out at the film and even Zero ratings (by Rajeev Masand), Subhash K Jha's take on Zanjeer is exceptional and outstanding. Why? Subhash has given four stars for the film and said "Let's not get carried away. Every time a remake comes along, we get gooey-eyed and nostalgic about the original. The Zanjeer remake gets it right. Dead right."

That's not all. Subhash went on to heap praise on Prakash Raj, Mahie Gill, Sanjay Dutt, director Apoorva Lakhia and who not? He said "Throughout the film, we sense the director's immense affection for the original Zanjeer, a reverence that never clouds his judgement. This is one remake that stands tall and lithe. It is manned by a manful supply of action and yet manages to keep the machismo understated. Breakneck-paced, adrenaline-pumping, pulse-pounding -- Lakhia's deconstructed version of the Prakash Mehra film is a full-on pacy paisa-vasool entertainer with brio and balls."

Even a common movie buff who has watched the film has been laughing uncontrollably over this review. One opines that Subhash has tried his best to drum-beat to Ram Charan Teja, who happens to be the son of Union Tourism Minister Chiranjeevi. No doubt, the review raised many eye-balls with jaw-dropping review of Subhash. And here's a sneak peek of cartoon by Satish Acharya.

THOOFAN BREAKS ALL TIME GREAT RECORD


Megapowestar Ram Charan might have made his debut as Megastar Chiranjeevi’s son but within a very short span he proved himself. No one can deny Ram Charan’s talent in acting, dances and fights. In fact one of the all time great hits of Telugu film industry Magadheera is in the name of Charan. But film industry is a strange place. Tears and smiles come in quick successions and pleasure and pain live side by side. Even for a star like Ramcharan there is a huge flop to his credit. Orange movie has given Ram Charan severe blow and it is one of the biggest flops in Charan’s career.




Now it is said that Thoofan has break the record of Orange. With director Apoorva Lakhia’s insipid work and agitation in Seemandhra region, Thoofan has been facing very problematic time at theatres. Even Charan fans are not satisfied with the film. As a result Thoofan has joined the all time great flops list in Charan’s career.

ఎసిపి విజయ్ ఖన్నా ధైర్య సాహసాలు మరియు నిజాయితీ కలిగిన యంగ్ పోలీస్ ఆఫీసర్. విజయ్ ఎంతో నిజాయితీ ముక్కుసూటిగా పోయే స్వభావం వల్ల ఒక్క చోట కూడా ఎక్కువ రోజులు పనిచేయకుండా ఎక్కువగా ట్రాన్స్ఫర్ అవుతూ ఉంటాడు. కానీ అతను తన స్వభావాన్ని ఏ మాత్రం మార్చుకోడు. హైదరాబాద్ లో అధికారంలో ఉన్న పార్టీ నేతలతో ఘర్షణ జరగడం వల్ల అతన్ని ముంబైకి ట్రాన్స్ఫర్ చేస్తారు. ముంబైలో ఒక డిప్యూటీ కలెక్టర్ ని ఎంతో దారుణంగా హత్య చేసిన కేసుని ఇన్వెస్టిగేట్ చేయమని విజయ్ కి అప్పగిస్తారు. ఆ తర్వాత దాని వెనుక ఒక పవర్ఫుల్ ఆయిల్ మాఫియా క్రైమ్ జరుగుతోందని తెలుసుకుంటాడు. ఆ విషయంలో ఎన్నారై మాయ (ప్రియాంక చోప్రా) ఒక్కటే ఆ నేరాన్ని నిరూపించడానికి ఉన్న ఏకైక సాక్షి, దాంతో విజయ్ తన సాయం అడుగుతాడు. ఈ ఇన్వెస్టిగేషన్ లో విజయ్ కి ఆ మొత్తం ఆపరేషన్ వెనక ఉన్నది రుద్ర ప్రతాప్ తేజ(ప్రకాష్ రాజ్) అని తెలుస్తుంది.
విజయ్ కేసును పరిష్కరిస్తూ చివరికి చేరుకునే దశలో ఉండగా రుద్ర ప్రతాప్ తన డబ్బు మరియు పలుకుబడి ఉపయోగించి విజయ్ ని సస్పెండ్ చెయ్యాలని ప్రయత్నిస్తాడు. దాంతో విజయ్ ఎంతో ఆవేశంతో రుద్ర ప్రతాప్ సామ్రాజ్యాన్ని నాశనం చేస్తానని ప్రతిజ్ఞ చేస్తాడు. ఆ తర్వాత రివెంజ్ డ్రామా ఎలా సాగింది? విజయ్ షేర్ ఖాన్(శ్రీ హరి) మరియు నిజాయితీ గల క్రైమ్ రిపోర్టర్ జయ్ దేవ్(తనికెళ్ళ భరణి) సాయంతో రుద్ర ప్రతాప్ ని ఎలా అంతమొందించాడు? అనేది మీరు వెండి తెరపైనే చూడాలి..

ఈ సినిమాని ఒరిజినల్ ‘జంజీర్’ తో పోల్చుకుంటే ఆ సినిమా కథ, స్క్రీన్ ప్లే కంటే కాస్త తక్కువగా అనిపిస్తుంది. ఈ సినిమా ప్లాట్ మనం ఊహించే విధంగా ఉంది. చరణ్ – ప్రియాంక చోప్రా మధ్య తీసిన రొమాంటిక్ ట్రాక్ విషయంలో ఇంకాస్త కేర్ తీసుకొని బాగా తీయాల్సింది. దీని ఒరిజినల్ వెర్షన్ లో అమితాబ్ బచ్చన్ – ప్రన్ మధ్య బంధాన్ని చాలా బాగా చూపించారు. దాన్ని ఆ రేంజ్ లో ఈ రీమేక్ జంజీర్ లో చూపించలేకపోయారు. చరణ్ – శ్రీ హరి రిలేషన్ లో ఎక్కడో ఎమోషన్స్ తగ్గినట్టు అనిపిస్తుంది.

గురురాజ సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ జస్ట్ ఓకే అనేలా ఉంది. ఎడిటింగ్ చెప్పుకోదగ్గ స్థాయిలో లేదు. ఎక్కడో ఒకటి రెండు సీన్స్ లో తప్పితే మిగతా సన్నివేశాల్లో రీ రికార్డింగ్ జస్ట్ యావరేజ్ గా ఉంది. ఈ మూవీకి మరింత టాలెంట్ ఉన్న మ్యూజిక్ డైరెక్టర్ అయ్యుంటే సినిమాకి చాలా హెల్ప్ అయ్యేది. తెలుగు డైలాగ్స్ కూడా జస్ట్ ఓకే. అపూర్వ లఖియా సినిమా మొత్తం చాలా వేగంగా ముందుకు సాగేలా తీసే విషయంలో సక్సెస్ అయ్యాడు. కానీ సినిమాలో కాస్త కామెడీ, ఎంటర్టైన్మెంట్ ఉండేలా ప్లాన్ చేసుకోవాల్సింది. ఈ సినిమాతో అపూర్వ డైరెక్టర్ గా పాస్ మార్కులు తెచ్చుకున్నాడు.
తీర్పు :
ఈ సినిమాని ఒరిజినల్ క్లాసిక్ మూవీ అయిన అమితాబ్ జంజీర్ తో పోల్చుకోవద్దు. ఈ రెండూ విభిన్న తరహా సినిమాలు. చరణ్ పవర్ఫుల్ పెర్ఫార్మన్స్ ఇచ్చాడు మరియు సినిమాలో కొన్ని పవర్ఫుల్ సీన్స్ ఉన్నాయి. అలాగే సినిమా నిడివి తక్కువగా ఉండటం సినిమాకి హెల్ప్ అయ్యింది. ఇంకాస్త బెటర్ స్క్రిప్ట్ మరియు హై ఎంటర్టైన్మెంట్ ఉండుంటే ఈ సినిమాకి ఇంకా బాగా హెల్ప్ అయ్యింది. అయినప్పటికీ సినిమా ఓవరాల్ గా చూడదగిన డీసెంట్ పోలీస్ డ్రామా..

First On Net Review : Thoofan – Rustic Cop Drama




Release date : 06 September 2013

Rating : 3.25/5

Director : Apoorva Lakhia

Producer : Reliance Entertainments

Music Director : Meet Bros Anjjan, 

Chirantan Bhatt, Anand Raj Anand

Starring : Ram Charan, PriyankaChopra

Srihari

Ram Charan’s ‘Thoofan’ is releasing tomorrow across the world. We have been to a special screening that was held at Prasad Labs and we are bringing you the first exclusive review of the Telugu version. The movie has been directed by Apoorva Lakhia and Reliance Entertainments has produced it. Let us see how the movie is
Story :
ACP Vijay Khanna is an honest and aggressive cop. He is also a very angry young man. His upright nature is rewarded with a record number of transfers, but Vijay never changes his attitude. After an altercation with some ruling party members in Hyderabad ,he is transferred to Mumbai.
Vijay is tasked with the investigation of the violent murder of a deputy collector. He soon realises that a powerful oil mafia is behind the crime. An NRI named Maya (Priyanka Chopra) is the only witness and Vijay seeks her help. As the investigation deepens, Vijay realises that the very wealthy Rudra Pratap Teja (Prakash Raj) is the man behind the entire criminal operation.
As Vijay inches closer to the truth, Teja uses all his money and influence to get Vijay suspended. A defiant and angry Vijay vows to destroy Teja and his empire. What follows next is a revenge drama where Vijay takes the help of the mercurial Sher Khan (Sri Hari) and an honest crime reporter named Jay Dev (Tanikella Bharani) to bring Teja down.
Plus Points :
Ram Charan has delivered yet another power packed performance. He looks good as a cop and he has fit into the character of ACP Vijay Khanna quite seamlessly. This movie will be a pretty good debut vehicle for Charan’s Bollywood career.
Priyanka Chopra is ok. She looks pretty hot in the ‘Mumbai Ke Hero’ and ‘Pinky’ songs. Sri Hari is effective as Sher Khan. Tanikella Bharani has given a dignified performance as the courageous crime reporter.
Prajash Raj is very cool as the mafia Don Teja. He is well supported by Mahie Gill, who appears as Mona. Their conversations are filled with ‘double meaning’ dialogues that might work with B and C center people.
The pace of the film is good. The short run-time is an asset. Mahie Gill sizzles in a song which plays out during the opening titles, just like in James Bond films.
Minus Points :
When compared to the original ‘Zanjeer’, this movie fizzles out in terms of story and screenplay. The plot is quite superficial and predictable. The romantic episodes between Charan and Priyanka Chopra could have been a lot better.
In the original film, the bond between Amitabh Bachchan and Pran is established quite brilliantly. That is not the case with this present day Zanjeer. The friendship between Charan and Sri Hari lacks emotional depth.
The placement of songs is quite bad, especially the ‘Mumbai ke Hero’ song. This is not a Telugu movie and Charan’s traditional fans will miss the mass masala entertainment that is normally found in the star’s films. Comedy quotient is also quite low.
Technical Aspects :
Gururaj’s cinematography is just about ok. Editing is not up to the mark. Except for one or two sequences, re-recording is strictly average. A more capable music director would have really helped the film. Telugu dialogues are just about ok.
Apoorva Lakhia has succeeded in maintaining good pace throughout the film. But he should have infused more humour and entertainment into the proceedings. He scores passing marksas a director.
Verdict :
Do not compare this movie with the original classic(Amitabh’s Zanjeer). They are two very different movies. Charan has given a power packed performance and the film has its moments. A crisp runtime also helps matters. A better script and a higher dose of entertainment would have really helped matters. Still, the movie ends up as a decent cop drama.



Rating – 3.25/5


No worries, Nayak is locked for Pongal

No worries, Nayak is locked for Pongal

Ram Charan's upcoming film Nayak will release for Pongal without any doubts. The rumors about the postponement of this film are baseless. As per close sources we came to know that Nayak shooting is on schedule and will be completed by the end of November. Only few portions of talkie and a couple of songs are left to be shot.

Charan is spending more time on Nayak and Yevadu as Zanjeer shooting was delayed due to non availability of Priyanka Chopra. Charan is making sure that Nayak releases during Pongal so that Yevadu can aim for summer release. Nayak is said to have hilarious comedy as well as powerful action scenes. As per reports, this film is shaping up very well and we could expect another commercial bonanza from Charan.

Rumors about CGR affect on Nayak or script not yet ready for Nayak are just trash, told the sources. Nayak will be out on January 11 at any cost. Producer will announce the date officially soon. Vinayak, who has a superb track record for Pongal wants to keep his record intact with Nayak.
