Story
Nivas (Havish) gets inspired by Nanaji, (Pradeep Rawat) an MLA while his friends Yaasir a fan of cricketer Nizamuddin (Adarsh)and Koti a fan of Peddapuram Peda Babu (Ashish Vidyardhi). However, the three of them quickly realizes that their matinee idols are quite selfish and goes to any extent for their personal interests. Nivas, Yaasir and Koti decides to take revenge on them and in the process Sarath Chandra (Sarath Kumar), a special officer gets into the job on investigating the murders. Rest of the story forms the crux.
Performances
Havish looks good but he fails to give apt expressions for the scenes and carries similar expression all through.
It’s the same with heroine Sanusha, who looks good but performance-wise she fails.
Sarath Kumar has a good role and he delivers his best, Brahmanandam entertains to the most providing us some sort of relief, Ashish Vidyardhi is decent and Pradeep Rawat is okay. Kota Srinivasa Rao, Annapurna and others were adequate.
Technical Analysis
Music is below average while the background score is strictly okay. Placement of songs hampers the flow. Screenplay is inconsistent while editing is pathetic. Dialogues are outdated. Ohmkar’s direction skills are below par while Production values are standard.

Analysis
The movie takes off well with few good notable dialogues but the lead stars performances will never make you connect to the scenes. Few of the scenes involving Brahmanandam, Sarath Kumar scenes in the first half and a series of murders may create some interest but the inconsistent screenplay and untimely songs test the patience. The second half falls flat and the climax is quite disappointing. The message delivered is misleading though the film is made with a good intention.

Final Verdict 
Poor narration with unconvincing climax!!!

Dhurandhar Breaks Hindi Box Office, Naga Vamsi’s Old Remarks Resurface

The Bollywood film Dhurandhar has created history by emerging as the highest-grossing Hindi film in India, surpassing the long-standing record previously held by Allu Arjun’s Pushpa. The milestone was officially announced by popular trade analyst Taran Adarsh on social media.

During the peak run of Pushpa 2 in the Hindi belt, when the film was witnessing housefull shows and reportedly collecting close to ₹82 crore in a single day, producer Naga Vamsi had made remarks that grabbed attention. He commented that the phenomenal box-office performance of Pushpa 2 might have caused “sleepless nights” for certain Bollywood filmmakers.

Those comments, however, did not go down well with a section of netizens and later earned Naga Vamsi the nickname “Chimtu” among online trolls. Now, with Dhurandhar breaking the Hindi box-office record previously held by Pushpa, Bollywood trolls have resurfaced his old statements.

Several users are tagging Naga Vamsi on social media and sarcastically questioning whether Telugu film producers are now the ones losing sleep. The episode once again underlines how comments made during moments of success can resurface later, fueling online trolling and blurring the line between industry discourse and social media provocation.
