Exam Fever Effect On Today Releases
After a lot of dilly dallying, they choose a release date without clashing with cricket matches, elections and of course big ticket films. But the three films of today’s release could not escape Intermediate board exams.
Every Friday release gets a decent number of audience only through students and when they were busy preparing for their annual examinations, it sure will become a curse for new releases. There might be a noticeable change in numbers at box office and today’s releases have to suffer this for another weekend as well, because the last exam is on 19th of this month.
All the three movies releasing today have the full gang of struggles and they are desperate for a proper commercial success since a long time. Audience almost forgot Shraddha Das and now she pinned her hopes on Guntur Talkies. So is the need for Rashmi to change her tag to actress from anchor. Awards apart, Praveen Sattaru too needs a hit badly.
Manchu Manoj had a list of disasters and now is betting big on thriller Shourya, so is director Dasarath who got a hit with Mr Perfect back in ages. Nandini Reddy had to take a long gap after her Jabardasth colossal flop and a good delay for release of her Kalyana Vaibhogame, now she has to get one. Naga Shourya too wants a hit, because a new failure questions his existence here.
Pawan To Dance On Chiru’s Mass Song
While many of Tollywood young heroes are using any of Pawan Kalyan’s content in their films to please the power star fans, the Gabbar Singh star is set to enthrall his as well as megastar Chiranjeevi’s fans by dancing on remix version of the latter’s super hit mass song.
Yes, as per reliable sources, Pawan Kalyan will be seen dancing on remix of Chiranjeevi’s mass song ‘Naa Koka Bagunda’ (Kondaveeti Raja) in his latest flick Sardaar Gabbar Singh. It is also learnt that, Raai Lakshmi will be seen sizzling opposite Pawan Kalyan in the song.
This will be first time, Pawan Kalyan dancing on Chiru’s song. It may be recalled that, Chiranjeevi visited Sardaar shooting spot in Hyderabad few days ago and the mega brothers had splendid time on the sets.
Devi Sri Prasad is scoring music for Sardaar and fortunately all the films the ace composer associated with Pawan Kalyan such as Jalsa, Gabbar Singh and Attarintiki Daredi were huge hits. The duo is expected to recreate the magic with Sardaar Gabbar Singh that will have audio release on March 20th and theatrical release on April 8th.
Phone tapping bullet fired on Mudragada?
Kapu Leader Mudragada Padmanabham launched a staggering attack on TDP Government on Friday. He threatened to go on an indefinite fast from March 11th if State Government doesn’t fulfill promises given to him by 10th of this Month.
Speaking to media, Mudragada accused TDP Government of tapping his phone and trying to divert the Kapu reservation issue by spreading baseless speculations. On the accusations of Jagan’s involvement in Kapu agitation, He clarified, ‘No truth in the reports that Jagan is behind Me and He is the one who provoked Me.
Why Jagan’s name is being dragged every now and then? My Political Experience is far more than his age. Jagan don’t have the stature/knowledge to pen a letter to me’. Mudragada dared to take political sanyas if Chandrababu Naidu is able to prove Jagan is his driving force.
He told, ‘Naidu was reluctant to speak with Me when I called off the fast. At that time, I contacted Jagan to thank for his support’. The Former Minister claimed Ex-Chief Minister late YS Rajasekhar Reddy was always affectionate and promised to stand by his side whenever he is in trouble.
On Land Pooling of Amaravati, Mudragada said farmers of AP Capital have already been regretting and also questioned, ‘Does a Capital require 33,000 acres?’.

Shourya Movie Review – 2.25/5
Dasaradh who is known for making family entertainers like Santosham and Mr. Perfect tried his hand at thriller genre with Shourya. This had a good point but the director failed to get it right with the screenplay and execution.
Story :
Shourya (Manoj) and Netra (Regina) fall in love and decide to get married. But one night someone slices Netra’s throat and police takes Shourya in to custody as the prime suspect. A police officer (Prakash Raj) believes Shourya is innocent, but Shourya admits that he has killed Netra as she cheated him. What happened between the couple and what led to Shourya taking such hasty action?
Performances:
Manchu Manoj delivered a fine performance, but is on the weightier side. His performance in the penultimate scenes is good. Regina is beautiful. She did a decent job as Netra. Prakash Raj is impressive as the sincere cop. Prabhas Sreenu shines here and there. Brahmanandam’s cameo is wasted. Subbaraju and others have did their bit.
Technicalities:
Dasaradh tried to offer something new for the audience. His intentions are commendable but should have taken care of the script to make it a gripping thriller. There are few instances where the movie strikes a chord, but the director failed to maintain the tempo that is much needed for a thriller.
Music is mediocre and the songs are shot poorly. Dialogues are just okay. Editing is pretty bad. Movies like these need slick and sharp editing. Cinematography is average.
Thumbs Up:
- Manoj
- Interval Bang
Thumbs Down:
- Slow Pace
- Botched up screenplay
- Weak Direction
Analysis:
Shourya has an interesting premise and opens with an intriguing monologue saying that every story has three sides to it. The film will catch your attention right at that point and prepares you for a thrilling ride. However the proceedings are anything but thrilling. Movie moves at a snail pace with some absolutely pointless scenes that takes the plot nowhere.
Love story between the lead pair is boring and makes you fall asleep. Things get interesting only at the interval scene where the hero reveals that he has killed the heroine. We expect the film to put us on the edge of the seat after that point, but Dasaradh once again takes a relaxing approach that doesn’t let the film grow on you.
Only the last confrontation of Prakash Raj and Manoj packs a punch, but it is too late by then. Shourya could have been a very good thriller as the plot is interesting. It takes a nosedive because of poor screenplay. In the end we only wish the movie is as interesting as its trailer.
Verdict: Sleep inducing Thriller.
