It Is A Crime To Call ‘Avatar 2’ A Film: RGV
Crazy director Ram Gopal Varma who was once a game changer in moviemaking style in India is now making a living out of churning out B-grade movies and interviews. Despite the massive dip in quality, he is still managing to keep himself in the news through controversial statements and drunk tweets.
The director seems to have watched ‘Avatar 2’ and he decided to give his own short review. He said, “Just bathed in AVATAR 2 ..It will be a crime to call it a film because It’s an experience of a life time ..SPECTACULAR VISUALS and MIND BENDING ACTION.. a few times it feels like a theme park visit bit I don’t mean that in a bad way.”
It took time for people to understand the last sentence but it looks like he was impressed by James Cameron’s creation. It is a massive achievement to impress RGV and we need to see if ‘Avatar 2’ breaks records as expected or not.
The visual extravaganza has hit the screens today and the entire world is waiting to watch this film onscreen from a long time. While people are getting stunned by James Cameron’s visuals and are in awe of the great theatre experience, a few of them are pointing out the snail pace and predictable narration.

Why Is Kalpika Making These Statements?
Actress Kalpika Ganesh is known to the Telugu audience for her supporting roles in various films like ‘Endukante Premanta’, ‘Padi Padi Leche Manasu’, ‘Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ and many others. The actress is making controversial statements which is creating a lot of ripples across the internet.
She has a YouTube channel and she is making some serious accusations on DJs, actresses and directors. Many people are wondering the reason behind Kalpika suddenly becoming very vocal on social media. She made some strong comments on two DJs and a comedian in recent times. She even complained about the netizens using her morphed images online and how they are hurtful.
In recent times, she stated that actress Dhanya Balakrishna got married secretly. According to Kalpika, Dhanya got married to ‘Love Failure’ and ‘Maari’ director Balaji Mohan without telling everyone. Much to her shock, the video was immediately taken down on YouTube. Regarding this, she held Tamil star hero Dhanush responsible and explained that he used his influence and removed the video as he is a good friend to Dhanya.
She said, “YouTube videos are supposed to be removed, if they violate any guideline, after duly informing the YouTuber via mail. In this case, though, I didn’t receive any intimation.” Talking about Dhanya talking to her on phone, Kalpika said, “Were you trying to intimidate me? Or, were you scared of me? Either way, I will follow the right route.” Let us see where these actions of Kalpika lead her.
Unstoppable with NBK To Get A Mega Boost!
Ace Tollywood producer Allu Arvind’s brainchild Aha is getting bigger and bigger. Aha was launched on 25 March 2020 on the eve of the Ugadi festival. Cut to two years the OTT platform is competing with other big platforms and is enjoying a good viewership. Offering original content is the main USP of the platform.
The celebrity talk show ‘Unstoppable With NBK’ is one such original content. The show hosted by Nandamuri Balakrishna has been striking gold. After a hugely successful first season, the second season was started recently. The second season is also going strong with record views.
The next episode of the show will feature the first Pan-India star Prabhas and his best friend Gopichand. People are eagerly waiting for the episode to get aired as very rarely Prabhas comes to such shows. The recently released promo increased expectations.
Now the news is that Pawan Kalyan might grace the show as the guest. It is said that the episode might be the last episode of the season and the makers want to give a Mega boost to the show and end it on a high note. That’s why Pawan Kalyan was approached by the makers.
As Allu Arvind is a family member Pawan Kalyan might have accepted this. Moreover, Nandamuri Balakrishna is a senior hero, and saying no to his show would not be good. These factors might have resulted in Pawan Kalyan accepting the approval as per the grapevine.
It is said that the shoot of the episode might start soon. Pawan Kalyan is a busy star as he is busy with films and politics. He has to take out some free time in between and this might take some time.
It is also said that Pawan Kalyan might grace the show along with Trivikram Srinivas. In an episode, Balakrishna called Trivikram and asked him to come to the show. Keeping this in mind we can expect that Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram Srinivas who are good friends might grace the show as guests.
On the work front, Pawan Kalyan is shooting for Hari Hara Veera Mallu. He recently announced projects with Harish Shankar and Sujeeth.

I am Still Alive: Actress Blasts Fake News On Her Death!
We live in an era where differentiating fake news from the original news is a big task. The power of fake and unverified news is such that even the big media outlets and national media also fell prey to that. Due to this, a piece of fake news about the veteran actress’s death was spread like a wildfire.
Her family started receiving phone calls from everyone and they are receiving condolences. The worse is that the media reports claimed that the actress was reportedly killed by her own son. The media reports made the actress blast who carried out the news.
74-year-old Veena Kapoor is a veteran Television actor who has been acting in serials for the past few decades. She appeared in popular shows like Mitter Pyare Nu Haal Mureedan Da Kehna, Dal: The Gang, and others. All of a sudden she was in the news for the wrong reasons. A few reports said that she was reportedly killed by her with a dispute over a property.
Now the actress reached the Police Station in Mumbai and blasted the fake news of her death reports. In her complaint, the actress maintained that she went through a big torture with the fake news and everyone is calling her to inquire what happened in the news.
Veena Kapoor reached the Police Station along with her son Abhishek. Her son urged everyone to not believe in any news without cross-checking as false news can be spread easily. Mother and Son said that they are disturbed by the news and blasted the media reports for calling her dead.
Addressing the issue, Veena Kapoor said that a woman who also shares the same name was killed and she also lives in Juhu. Having said that, the actress said without cross-checking the matter, a few media outlets carried out fake news and she expressed her anger at that.
Earlier this week, a woman named Veena Kapoor is believed to have been killed by her own son over an alleged property dispute. The victim’s son reportedly hit the old man with a baseball and dumped her body in a river. As both names are the same the media reports claimed the actress was killed.
Are Dil Raju’s Comments Because Of Anger Or For Promotions?
Star producer Dil Raju has been in the news a lot lately. He is being criticized a lot for releasing the dubbed version of his Tamil venture ‘Varisu’ during the same time when two biggies like ‘Waltair Veerayya’ and ‘Veera Simha Reddy’ are getting released. Also, there are complaints about him using his influence and booking more theatres for his own film rather than giving the screens equally to all three. He gave all his answers on ‘Open Heart With RK’ and producing has made some more interesting comments recently.
He said, “All the theatre issues will be sorted in January 1st week only, until then, there will be no clear pictures. But because Varasudu is my own production, surely I’ll position the film in all the best theatres I’ve in hand.” He claims that he will be releasing ‘Varasudu’ in all the 35 theatres he owns in Uttarandhra while there are a total of 154 theatres in that area. Talking about the comments made by the Producers Council, he stated, “To become a hero in the film industry, everyone is going to media and targeting me. I wonder if they are targeting me because I’m a big glamorous.”
He added, “For example, the popular multiplex chain PVR is there. Whether it is a Dil Raju film or any other hero’s film, they will give theatres only based on their own will and process. Can anyone from the industry go and ask PVR why they are not giving enough screens? They won’t.”
Dil Raju would have brought Vijay or Rashmika to promote ‘Varasudu’ but he is handling it all by himself at the moment. Some of the netizens are suggesting that all the buzz around him is going to benefit the movie indirectly. With Dil Raju adamant to release ‘Varasudu’ on a grand scale, we need to see how things shape up in the coming days.
Avatar 2 Movie Review
When “Avatar” was released in 2009, it shattered box office records. It took 13 years for the sequel to finally reach movie theatres. After much anticipation, “Avatar: The Way of Water” opened in theatres.
Let’s see if James Cameron, the master filmmaker, managed to recapture the wonder of the original.
Story:
“Avatar: The Way of Water” picks up the story of the Sully family more than a decade after the events of the first film. Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) in his new avatar leads a squad of soldiers who are hell bent on eliminating Jack Sully (Sam Worthington).
Jake takes his family (Neytiri, and their kids) and flees from Pandora to the remote islands led by Ronal (Kate Winslet) and Tonowari (Cliff Curtis). However, Quaritch still manages to track them down.
How will Sully protect his family from the army of Colonel Quartich, who possesses hi-tech weapons?
Artistes’ Performances:
While Sam Worthington is excellent as always in the role of Jake Sully, the spotlight is on the young actors who play Jake Sully’s sons and daughters. In particular, the actors who play Lo’ak and Neteyam are the show-stoppers.
As Neytiri, Zoe Saldana is as fierce as ever. She gives an outstanding performance, and she’s matched by Sam Worthington.
Kate Winslet plays Ronal, the pregnant tribal leader, with a good handful of heft. And as the villainous Colonel Miles Quaritch, Stephen Lang shines.
Technical Excellence:
It’s common knowledge that when James Cameron directs a film, the technicians in charge of the special effects, cinematography, and action sequences all perform at the highest possible level. The cutting edge of technical output can be seen in the 3D version of Avatar: The Water Way.
The technical team’s creation of Pandora Oceans is a world that cannot be adequately described in words. The CGI is completely out of this world. The music in the background is ok.
Highlights:
Second Half
The visual effects and technical wizardry
Immersive narrative
Drawback:
The slow-paced initial portions
Excessive runtime
Some repetitive sequences
Analysis
When “Avatar” was released in 2009, viewers were blown away by James Cameron’s vision of the planet Pandora. A thing like this had never happened before. He set an unrealistically high standard for the use of special effects.
The film industry has evolved tremendously over the past 13 years. The visual effects in even a Telugu film like “RRR” were cutting edge. Everyone was wondering how Cameron would live up to the expectations of today’s audiences.
Right off the bat! The special effects take it to a new level, making it difficult for any other director to live up to Cameron’s standard of excellence.
“Avatar” was filmed on the fictional planet of Pandora, which was home to dense forests. Though the sequel opens in Pandora’s forests, the action quickly moves to the reefs. The remaining 2 hours and 45 minutes of this 3.15-hour movie take place on the ocean.
There’s not much going on in terms of plot. The battle lines are clearly drawn: Jake Sully and his family versus the colonel. However, Cameron places greater emphasis on the story’s human elements and family emotions.
“The Sullys stay together.” This is a story that truly embodies what Jake Sully says at the outset. The film’s middle section focuses on Sully’s kids and their Ocean-going exploits. The sequence of Jake Sully’s younger child befriending a Tulkun is wonderfully told.
The action episodes with 48 frames per second frame rate are truly spectacular.
Similarly, the entirety of the final hour is engaging and contains applause-inducing moments. Fighting sequences featuring the Tulkan are also exciting to watch. James Cameron has also included many Indian cultural references and themes in his story.
The film’s length, however, cannot be justified. It’s almost 3 hours and 15 minutes long, and the beginning is tedious. There are also lots of repeating sequences.
In nutshell, “Avatar 2” is a film that should be seen in IMAX 3D because of the immersive experience it provides. James Cameron delivers worthwhile entertainment despite a slow start and a long running time. Cameron takes us on a ride to a magical underwater world and shows us something truly spectacular. The final moments offer a lot to cheer for.
Bottom line: Visual Treat
