പദ്മിനി എന്ന പേര് ഒരു മനുഷ്യന്റെ ജീവിതത്തെയാകെ അനിശ്ചിതത്വത്തിലാക്കുന്ന കഥപറയുന്ന ചിത്രമാണ് 'പദ്മിനി'.  നിരവധി പുരസ്കാരങ്ങൾ വാരിക്കൂട്ടിയ തിങ്കളാഴ്ച നിശ്ചയം എന്ന ഹിറ്റ് സിനിമയുടെ സംവിധായകൻ  സെന്ന ഹെഗ്‌ഡെയും കുഞ്ഞിരാമായണത്തിന്റെ രചയിതാവായ ദീപു പ്രദീപും കൈ കോർക്കുമ്പോൾ മലയാളികൾക്ക് ലഭിച്ചത് മറ്റൊരു ഫീൽ ഗുഡ് സിനിമയാണ്.  സീരിയസ് കഥാപത്രങ്ങളിലേക്ക് കളം മാറ്റി ചവിട്ടിയ കുഞ്ചാക്കോ ബോബൻ പഴയ പ്രണയനായകന്റെ വേഷമെടുത്തണിയുന്നു എന്നതാണ് പദ്മിനിയുടെ പ്രത്യേകത.  കുഞ്ചാക്കോ ബോബൻ, അപർണ്ണ ബാലമുരളി, വിൻസി അലോഷ്യസ്, മഡോണ സെബാസ്റ്റ്യൻ, സജിൻ ചെറുകയിൽ എന്നീ യുവതാരങ്ങൾ അണിനിരക്കുമ്പോൾ മലയാളത്തിൽ മറ്റൊരു സെന്ന ഹെഗ്‌ഡെ മാജിക്ക് സംഭവിക്കുകയാണ്.

കവിയും കോളേജ് അദ്ധ്യാപകനുമാണ് രമേശൻ.  മുപ്പത്തിനാലാം വയസ്സിലാണ് രമേശൻ വിവാഹിതനാകുന്നത്.  ആദ്യരാത്രിയിൽ ഭാര്യ രമേശനോട് ഒരാഗ്രഹമേ പറഞ്ഞുള്ളൂ രമേഷേട്ടനോടൊപ്പം പാടവരമ്പിലൂടെ നിലാവത്ത് നടക്കണം.  ആ ആഗ്രഹം കവിയായ രമേശന്റെ ഉള്ളിൽ തന്നെ തൊട്ടു.  പിന്നെ ഒന്നും ആലോചിച്ചില്ല രമേശൻ പുതുപ്പെണ്ണായ സ്‌മൃതിയുടെ കയ്യുംപിടിച്ച് നിലാവിലേക്കിറങ്ങി.  ദൂരെ ആല്മരച്ചുവട്ടിൽ അവളെക്കാത്ത് ഒരു പ്രീമിയർ പദ്മിനി കിടപ്പുണ്ടായിരുന്നു.  ആദ്യരാത്രിയിൽ ഭാര്യ പ്രീമിയർ പദ്മിനി കാറിൽ ഒളിച്ചോടിപ്പോയതോടെ രമേശന് പദ്മിനി എന്ന ഇരട്ടപ്പേര് ലഭിക്കുന്നു.  ജീവിതത്തിൽ ഒരു കൂട്ടുവേണമെന്ന് ആഗ്രഹമുണ്ടെങ്കിലും ഒരിക്കൽ കൈപൊള്ളിയ അനുഭവം രമേശനെ പിന്നിലേക്ക് വലിക്കുകയാണ്.  ഒടുവിൽ തന്നെ കളിയാക്കി വിളിക്കുന്ന പദ്മിനി എന്ന പേരുള്ള ഒരു പെൺകുട്ടിയെ തന്നെ രമേശൻ വീണ്ടും പ്രണയിക്കുന്നു.  പക്ഷെ അവർക്ക് ഒരുമിക്കാൻ മുന്നിൽ നിരവധി കടമ്പകളുണ്ടായിരുന്നു.

കാലിത്തൊഴുത്തിൽനിന്ന് കുതിച്ചുയർന്ന റോക്കറ്റുകൾ; വിക്രം സാരാഭായ്, ഇന്ത്യയുടെ ആകാശപ്പൂവ്!

കെട്ടുറപ്പുള്ള നല്ല കഥയും ശക്തമായ പ്രകടനവും കൊണ്ട് മികവ് പുലർത്തുന്ന പദ്മിനി.  കുഞ്ഞിരാമായണത്തിലൂടെ പ്രേക്ഷകരെ കുടുകുടെ ചിരിപ്പിച്ച തിരക്കഥാകൃത്ത് ദീപു പ്രദീപ് വീണ്ടും നല്ല തമാശയും വൈകാരികത നിറഞ്ഞ ബന്ധങ്ങളുടെ ഊഷ്മളതയും കൊണ്ട് മലയാളി പ്രേക്ഷകരുടെ മനസ്സ് കയ്യടക്കുന്നു.  രമേശന്റെ വ്യഥയും വീർപ്പുമുട്ടലും നിറഞ്ഞ വിരസമായ ജീവിതം ഹാസ്യത്തിന്റെ മേമ്പൊടിയോടെ ഇഴയടുപ്പത്തോടെ അവതരിപ്പിക്കാന്‍ സെന്ന ഹെഗ്ഡെക്ക് കഴിഞ്ഞു.  

കോമഡിയോടൊപ്പം തന്നെ ലളിതമായ പ്രണയവും പദ്മിനിയുടെ പ്രത്യേകതയാണ്.  സെന്ന ഹെഗ്‌ഡെ ചിത്രങ്ങളിൽ പതിവായി കാണുന്ന രാഷ്ട്രീയ ചർച്ചകൾ വേറിട്ട രീതിയിലാണ് പദ്മിനിയിൽ അവതരിപ്പിക്കുന്നത്.  പൊട്ടിച്ചിരിപ്പിക്കുന്ന നിരവധി നർമ്മമുഹൂർത്തങ്ങൾ ചിത്രത്തിലുണ്ട്.  മനോഹരമായ ഛായാഗ്രഹണവും മികച്ച സൗണ്ട് ട്രാക്കും സിനിമയെ സജീവമാക്കുന്നു.   കഥയുടെ മൂഡിനനുസരിച്ചുള്ള സംഗീതമാണ് ജെയ്ക്സ് ബിജോയുടെ സംഭാവന.

‘Padmini’ movie review: Senna Hegde, Kunchacko Boban’s comedy just about lives up to its minor ambitions

Despite the quirkiness quotient, the film proceeds tamely compared to senna hegde’s previous two outings and without any surprises for the most part.

July 14, 2023 05:10 pm | Updated July 15, 2023 01:14 pm IST

A still from ‘Padmini’

The enduring interest of a good section of the population in the personal lives of other people gets a nod from filmmaker Senna Hegde in the opening credits sequence of his fifth film Padmini . As the credits roll on a black screen, we get to hear snatches of conversations from a wedding ceremony, of some of the guests sizing up the groom, of some others passing comments on his brother who could be the next target for the marriage market, and of a few judging the weight of the bride’s jewellery and expressing dissatisfaction.

Usually the tongues stop wagging for sometime after a boy or girl is successfully pushed into marriage, but in the case of Rameshan (Kunchacko Boban), a poet and a lecturer at a college, the conversations around him reach fever pitch just after his wedding. With his wife Smrithi (Vincy Aloshious) running away with her boyfriend on the wedding day, he becomes a laughing stock in the village. A good part of Hegde’s movie is about him learning to overcome the taunts, but there are a few more complications for him to face.

Hegde gets a shift in scene from the ‘Made in Kanhangad’ landscape of his previous two films — Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam and 1744 White Alto — and sets Padmini in rural Palakkad. Screenwriter Deepu Pradeep, who co-wrote Kunjiramayanam with Basil Joseph, gets it right in the beginning with a compelling theme, but the struggle is evident at times in sustaining the two hour-long narrative.

Some of the humour, especially the scenes involving Rameshan and his brother-in-law (Anand Manmadhan), helps the movie in tiding over the deficiencies in the script. Another parallel track involves advocate Sreedevi (Aparna Balamurali) and her ‘extra-caring’, toxic fiance Jayan (Sajin Cherukayil). Like the ‘Big Kahuna Burgers’ and ‘Red Apple Cigarettes’ in Tarantino films, Padmini has a fictional brand in Jayan’s ‘Rareeram’ mattresses, the advertisement shorts for which spill over into the interval break and after the film.

Yet, that is all for the quirkiness quotient of the film, which otherwise proceeds tamely compared to Hegde’s previous two outings and without any surprises for the most part. The scriptwriter fails in tying together everything convincingly towards the climax, which seemed a bit too forced. Some references to Thinkalazhcha Nischayam , his most popular movie, also appear, as do references to Kunchacko Boban’s old hits. Among the three leading ladies, Aparna gets more scope for performance than the other two and gets as much screen space as Kunchacko.

In the end, Padmini turns out to be a light-hearted movie which just about lives up to its minor ambitions.

Padmini is currently running in theatres

Padmini Movie Review: Light entertainment, well-served 

Rating: ( 3.5 / 5).

I admit to feeling a bit of trepidation when I saw the promos of Padmini . The first thought was, "This doesn't look like a Senna Hegde film. Why is he doing a 90s-style entertainer?" But aren't we being unfair when we expect the man behind Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam to make the same kind of (*cough* realistic, realistic *cough*) film every time? I admire a filmmaker who dares to try different cinematic exercises each time, the outcome notwithstanding.

Director: Senna Hegde

Cast: Kunchacko Boban, Aparna Balamurali, Madonna Sebastian, Sajin Cherukayil, Vincy Aloshious After the lacklustre crime caper, 1744 White Alto , we find, in Padmini , Hegde's most lighthearted film. I say this because even in the 'feel-good' Thinakalazhcha Nishchayam , there are moments where one or two characters feel glum and become prone to angry outbursts. That's not to say Rameshan (Kunchacko Boban), the college professor in Padmini, doesn't ever feel the blues. He does, but Hegde has couched his predicaments in ample wrappings of humour. And this approach works because Kunchacko Boban (putting on his best charming self) has the backing of well-cast supporting actors adept at balancing Rameshan's 'darkness' with 'light' in the most opportune moments. Padmini has a remarkable quality that some recent Malayalam comedies don't have: the ability to make even the lines spoken by a one-minute character memorable. I don't remember even Romancham , the first big hit of the year, having such lines. I recall almost every background character in Padmini . It's like those 90s films you watch with your folks and then discuss them afterwards and erupt in laughter when you suddenly remember that background character who said something funny (sometimes offscreen). The college principal with a broken nose. The unpaid wedding photographer or his assistant who suddenly feels 'worthy'. The gossiping tea stall patrons. Rameshan's younger brother, who is prone to sudden online 'diversions' in the middle of an important assignment. The funny, well-meaning judge from Malabar (who may or may not be related to the judge from Nna Thaan Case Kodu). Padmini sees Hegde collaborating with Deepu Pradeep, who co-wrote the brilliant Kunjiramayanam. In Padmini, they tread a path never taken before. I liked how a female name -- the film's title -- is given to the male protagonist after an embarrassing incident in the film's opening (I don't want to ruin the surprise). And what happens when a man nicknamed 'Padmini' crosses paths with a woman named Padmini? It isn't the sort of situation Mammootty experienced in the film Hitler, mind you. Rameshan is already going through the pain that afflicts most unmarried males in their 30s. If you are an unmarried male in his 30s, you could find something to take away from it, but Padmini isn't necessarily the kind to aim for intellectual depth. Well, different strokes for different folks and all that. Much of the humour comes courtesy of competent actors like Anand Manmadhan (as Rameshan's brother-in-law and sounding board), Sajin Cherukayil (as an affluent mattress brand owner who owns every scene he is in) -- and, of course, all the characters I mentioned previously. Padmini is also a story of all its women. They are not on the posters for nothing. All three women -- Smrithi (Vincy Aloshious), Sreedevi (Aparna Balamurali), and Padmini (Madonna Sebastian) -- have a role to play in the emotional journey of Rameshan. By 'emotional journey', I'm not implying Padmini is an acting exercise. You won't find Kunchacko Boban bawling his eyes out like Fahadh Faasil in that scene from Maheshinte Prathikaram . Each of these women has reasons for behaving the way they do. Smrithi is the unpredictable, hyperactive sort; Sreedevi is the lawyer with zero success rate but shows up every day in court because survival matters; Padmini is the classy, reserved type burdened by pressures from home. Of course, through the course of the film, one might have certain expectations of which of these women Rameshan would end up with, but going by Kunchacko Boban's recent selection of stories, the predictable route isn't likely, that's for certain. I'm not sure the finale, albeit decent, isn't as effective as the similar trick Hegde did in Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam . But I've no complaints about the actor who makes the cameo appearance. Oh, and the interval and climax 'punch' is certainly worthy of mention. I cracked up. One of the merits of Padmini is its presentation, be it the placement of some comical flourishes or Sreeraj Raveendran's cheerful imagery which doesn't go overboard with the pastels or sunlight. When some of today's Malayalam filmmakers claim to "pay homage" to the 90s, rarely do they get it right. Padmini is the rare kind.

Padmini review: Senna Hegde’s latest outing makes you laugh and also think

The director conveys a layered story in a subtle way while focusing on the pressure faced by women in marriage.

Expectations ran high for Padmini when director Senna Hegde announced the movie.

The director earlier helmed critically-acclaimed films like Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam (2021) and 1744 White Alto (2022). This time, he came up with a movie that starred a bunch of young actors. Also, he came out of Kanhangad in Kasaragod where his movies are usually set.

Padmini is shot in Palakkad district and is Kunchacko Boban’s first solo-hero movie after his appearance in 2018 (2023) and Pakalum Pathiravum (2023).

Senna Hegde’s signature comedy is the highlight of the flick.

Padmini starts with the marriage of Rameshan (Kunchacko Boban), a poet and college professor. On his first night, his wife Smrithi (Vincy Aloshious) elopes with her lover in the latter’s Premier Padmini car.

After that shocking incident, Rameshan is teased by the people of his village for his embarrassing situation.

Also, he is called “Padmini” Rameshan by his neighbours and villagers.

Interestingly, a new professor named Padmini (Madonna Sebastian) joins his college. Rameshan falls in love with her.

But he can’t legally marry her as his first marriage with Smirthi has been registered. so, he files for a divorce.

The subsequent events after he files for divorce keep the story moving forward.

At the same time, there is a love story between Sreedevi (Aparna Balamurali) and Jayan (Sajin Cherukayil). Sreedevi is an advocate in the family court and Rameshan hires her for his case.

As the story progresses, Sreedevi’s family also plays an important role in the story.

Meanwhile, Padmini faces many troubles from her family who isn’t happy with her decision to marry Rameshan who, in turn, is unable to get a divorce due to the court proceedings.

Interesting twists.

The plot has many interesting twists — at the beginning, in the middle of the story when Rameshan feels love towards his neighbour but gets a shocker (which if revealed now would be a spoiler), and then in the climax part.

The relationship between Jayan and Sreedevi offers us some funny moments.

Jayan is an entrepreneur who is into the production of mattresses. He is portrayed as a man who likes to flaunt his money.

Sreedevi is quite aware that he is a male chauvinist and doesn’t like her working as an advocate, particularly after their marriage.

She initially doesn’t care about this but after a point, she takes her stand and concentrates on her profession deeply.

Fun elements

Comedy is the major highlight of Padmini .

Senna Hegde tries to convey a layered story that narrates the feelings of a youngster who faces embarrassing statements from his neighbours after his wife elopes.

There are some refreshing elements like the advertisement of the mattress firm owned by Jayan that erupts huge laughter among the audience in the theatre.

The movie also highlights the pressure faced by women in marriage.

Interestingly, writer Deepu Pradeep discussed marriage and related fun in the hit comedy film Kunjiramayanam (2015).

Also, in Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam , Senna Hegde dealt with a similar theme of marriage and elopement. But Padmini works since it’s refreshing.

Subtle performances.

Padmini’s script gives importance to all the characters and the director gives equal space to every actor.

Kunchacko Boban is noteworthy as Rameshan. For a senior actor who has been in the industry for more than 25 years, Kunchacko delivers a subtle performance and wins our hearts.

Vincy Aloshious is fabulous and her comedy scenes are well-appreciated in the theatre.

Aparna Balamurali and Sajin Cherukayil are a fun to watch.

Both Aparna and Vincy Aloshious are a laugh riot on screen. While watching them, we can’t help but draw references to some of the senior actresses like Urvashi who excelled in comic roles.

Sajin Cherukayil as the male chauvinist is notable. He gets on our nerves with his foolishness on many occasions.

Madonna Sebastian is decent in the title role of Padmini.

Anand Manmadhan as Venu, the brother-in-law of Rameshan, is good in comedy sequences.

Ganapathi, as Rameshan’s younger brother, plays a meaningful role.

The songs composed by Jakes Bejoy are apt and elevate the story.

Release Date : October 09,2021

123telugu.com Rating : 2.75/5

Starring: Sivakarthikeyan, Vinay Rai, Priyanka Arul Mohan, Yogi Babu, Milind Soman & Others

Director: Nelson Dilipkumar

Producer: Siva Karthikeyan

Music Director: Anirudh Ravichander

Cinematography : Vijay Kartik Kannan

Editor: R. Nirmal

Siva Karthikeyan’s Varun Doctor has been creating a lot of buzz in Tamil circles. The film’s Telugu version is out and let’s see how it is.

Varun (Siva Karthikeyan) is an army doctor by profession. He falls in love with Padmini (Priyanka Arul Mohan) but she rejects Varun seeing his practical nature. The twist in the tale arises when Padmini’s niece gets kidnapped and Varun gets involved in the case. How Varun being a doctor saves the girl and breaks the kidnapper nexus forms the story.

Plus Points :

Siva Karthikeyan is the biggest highlight of the film as he showcases a different side to his personality. He as an army doctor evokes good comedy, drama, and carries the film on his shoulder. Siva’s chemistry with Priyanka is also neat in the film.

The comedy works for the most part and the scenes featuring Yogi Babu and Priyanka’s family are very good. The director Nelson has showcased the thrills in a very different manner.

The film has dark humor and is executed quite well by Nelson. The message showcased regarding women’s safety in the film looks good. Also, the thrills in the pre-climax have been executed well.

Minus Points :

One of the drawbacks of the film is the liberty taken by the director when it comes to the crime showcased featuring women. Though the message shown is good, the incidents that happen in today’s digital world look a bit overboard.

The second half has a few lags here and there. The screenplay is not that effective during this time and makes things boring a bit. Also, the story of girls being kidnapped has been shown in films earlier as well.

Technical Aspects :

Production values of the film are top-notch as the visuals look gripping. Music by Anirudh is okay but as usual, his BGM is riveting. The camerawork is decent but the dubbing could have been better.

Coming to the director Nelson, he has done a passable job with the film. His story idea and the way he has set it also look good. But his screenplay falters a bit in the second half. He makes proceedings a bit routine and ignored the logic. Verdict :

On the whole, Varun Doctor is a kidnapping drama that has decent thrills and comedy. But things get bogged down in the second half and a few logics go for a toss. The Tamil audience might like the film as it suits their sensibilities well. But for the Telugu audience, this film ends as just a passable watch this weekend.

Thangalaan review: Vikram delivers a spellbinding performance in this Pa Ranjith film

Thangalaan review: pa ranjith's film is intertwined with some fantasy and mystical realism. a must watch for vikram fans..

Thangalaan review: When we head into a Pa Ranjith film, we know that we can expect something that is different. Thangalaan starring Vikram, Pravathy Thiruvothu, Pasupathy and Malavika Mohanan is a historical drama that is set during the British rule and revolves around the Kolar Gold Fields in the late 1800s. Also read : Vikram on being told he doesn't have as many fans as Suriya or Ajith Kumar: ‘Come to the theatre, see for yourself’

British ‘dorai’ Clement has a hunger for gold and having heard of the ancient gold mines of Tipu Sultan (Kolar, Karnataka), he wants a group of labourers for the mining. He is told it is the tribals (pariahs) at Veppur village (North Arcot) who have been traditionally involved in mining and he has to convince the people there to take up this job. He even says he will share the spoils with the villagers to take them out of poverty.

Thangalaan (Vikram), his wife (Parvathy) and the others in Veppur wotk hard on their land but don’t reap the rewards - it’s the local mirazdar who does. Oppressed and treated like slaves, it is the need for self-respect and a better life that pushes Thangalaan to take up Clement’s offer. But the tribals also fear the existence of a strong, supernatural mystical power called Aarthi (Malavika Mohanan) who lives in the forests and hills to protect the gold. Thangalaan has experienced the fierce power of Aarthi on an earlier sojourn to mine gold but he believes that this time will be different. With Thangalaan leading the way, the group heads to Kolar with Clement to see if can find gold. Now, does Thangalaan find gold? Does the story of Aarthi turn out to be a myth? Does Britisher Clement help the tribals get a better life?

The verdict

Pa Ranjith has once again given us a film in a completely new genre - Thangalaan is a period film that is intertwined with some fantasy and mystical realism. The characters and the setting are raw and rustic and it adds to the allure of this drama which is based on the Kolar gold fields and the labourers who worked there. Thangalaan is definitely a visual extravaganza - right from the costumes to the make-up and the stark settings of the dry, arid land and the poverty-stricken look of the people creates a strong impact. You feel the suffering and desperation of the tribals just by looking at them and Ranjith and his team must be praised for this. The first half of the film takes its own time to set up the stage and this slow pacing is an issue. The second half meanders and is not as gripping as one expects which is a let-down. The hallucinations the characters face also get a bit jarring. Given that the characters speak a different kind of Tamil, it’s not easy to follow the dialogues which is a drawback. Thangalaan has a great new concept and fine performances but could have been more engaging.

Vikram has outdone himself in this film as Thangalaan and shows us how talented and committed he is, yet again. Whether it the emotional scenes or the action ones, Vikram makes you feel every emotion he goes through. Parvathy and Pasupathy are excellent as well and all three have mouthed the period Tamil dialogues with extreme elan. Malavika Mohanan is good in her role too.

Music director GV Prakash’s tunes and BGM for the film are really apt and he proves how he can adapt his style effortlessly across genres. The cinematography by A Kishor Kumar is a plus for the film but the editing could have been tighter.

Director Pa Ranjith has always been the voice for marginalised communities and themes of social reform, social justice, caste oppression and discrimination, often find their way into his films. His central character is usually an underprivileged person and Thangalaan is no different. Thangalaan, may not be perfect, but it’s a film that’s unforgettable thanks to its excellent performances, especially Vikram’s.

మేఘా ఆకాష్ హీరోయిన్‌...

త‌మిళంలో ఈ మూవీ మ‌జై పిడిక్కాథ మ‌ణితాన్ పేరుతో తెర‌కెక్కింది. ఈ యాక్ష‌న్ మూవీని తుఫాన్ పేరుతో తెలుగులోకి డ‌బ్ చేసి రిలీజ్ చేశారు. తుఫాన్ మూవీకి విజ‌య్ మిల్ట‌న్ ద‌ర్శ‌క‌త్వం వ‌హించాడు. ఇందులో శ‌ర‌త్‌కుమార్‌ , స‌త్య‌రాజ్, డాలీ ధ‌నుంజ‌య‌ కీల‌క పాత్ర‌లు పోషించారు. మేఘా ఆకాష్ హీరోయిన్‌గా న‌టించింది. ఈ యాక్ష‌న్ మూవీకి ఐదుగురు మ్యూజిక్ డైరెక్ట‌ర్లు ప‌నిచేయ‌డం గ‌మ‌నార్హం. విజ‌య్ ఆంటోనీతో పాటు అచ్చు రాజ‌మ‌ణి, రాయ్‌, హ‌రీ ద‌ఫుసీయా, వ‌గు మ‌జ‌న్ మ్యూజిక్ అందించారు.

సీక్రెట్ ఏజెంట్ ల‌వ్ స్టోరీ...

స‌లీం ( విజ‌య్ ఆంటోనీ ) ఓ సీక్రెట్ ఏజెంట్‌. త‌న బాస్ (శ‌ర‌త్ కుమార్‌) అప్ప‌గించిన ఆప‌రేష‌న్ కోసం అండ‌మాన్ దీవుల్లోని ఓ ఊరికి వ‌స్తాడు. ఆ ఊరిలో డాలీ (డాలీ ధ‌నుంజ‌య‌) అనే వ‌డ్డీ వ్యాపారి చెప్పిందే వేదం. అత‌డి కార‌ణంగా ప్ర‌జ‌లు ఎన్నో ఇబ్బందులు ప‌డుతుంటారు. వారిలో సౌమ్య(మేఘా ఆకాష్‌) కూడా ఉంటుంది. సౌమ్య‌తో స‌లీమ్‌కు ఏర్ప‌డిన ప‌రిచ‌యం ప్రేమ‌గా మారుతుంది?

డాలీ బారి నుంచి ఆ ఊరి ప్ర‌జ‌ల‌ను స‌లీమ్ ఎలా కాపాడాడు? సౌమ్య కంటే ముందే స‌లీమ్ జీవితంలో ఉన్న మ‌రో అమ్మాయి ఎవ‌రు? ఆమె ఎలా ప్రాణాల‌ను కోల్పోయింది? అస‌లు స‌లీమ్...అండ‌మాన్‌కు ఎందుకొచ్చాడు? ఈ క‌థ‌లో కెప్టెన్ (స‌త్య‌రాజ్‌) పాత్ర ఏమిట‌నే పాయింట్‌తో డైరెక్ట‌ర్ విజ‌య్ మిల్ట‌న్ ఈ మూవీని తెర‌కెక్కించాడు.

హాలీవుడ్ సినిమాల స్ఫూర్తితో...

హాలీవుడ్‌లో విజ‌య‌వంత‌మైన ప‌లు యాక్ష‌న్ సినిమాల స్ఫూర్తితో ద‌ర్శ‌కుడు విజ‌య్ మిల్ట‌న్ తుఫాన్ మూవీ క‌థ‌ను రాసుకున్నాడు. కాన్సెప్ట్‌లో కొత్త‌ద‌నం లేక‌పోవ‌డంతో తుఫాన్ ప్రేక్ష‌కుల‌ను మెప్పించ‌లేక‌పోయింది.

త‌మిళంలో ఆగ‌స్ట్ 2న రిలీజ్‌...

త‌మిళ వెర్ష‌న్ మ‌జై పిడిక్కాథ మ‌ణితాన్ ఆగ‌స్ట్ 2న థియేట‌ర్ల‌లో రిలీజైంది. అదే రోజు తెలుగు వెర్ష‌న్‌ను ప్రేక్ష‌కుల ముందుకు తీసుకురావాల‌ని మేక‌ర్స్ ప్లాన్ చేశారు. ప‌లు తెలుగు స్ట్రెయిట్ సినిమాలు బాక్సాఫీస్ బ‌రిలో నిల‌వ‌డంతో ఆగ‌స్ట్ 11కు తెలుగు వెర్ష‌న్ రిలీజ్ డేట్‌ను పోస్ట్‌పోన్ చేశారు. తెలుగు వెర్ష‌న్ థియేట‌ర్ల‌లో ఉండ‌గానే ఈ మూవీ ఓటీటీలోకి రావ‌డం ఆస‌క్తిక‌రంగా మారింది. ఈ ఏడాది విజ‌య్ ఆంటోనీకి ఇది రెండో డిజాస్ట‌ర్‌. అత‌డి గ‌త మూవీ రోమియో కూడా ప్రేక్ష‌కుల‌ను మెప్పించ‌లేక‌పోయింది.
