This week, the Telugu cinema arena is abuzz with the much-anticipated releases of "Bhagavanth Kesari" starring Balakrishna, "Tiger Nageshwara Rao" featuring Ravi Teja, and "Leo" starring Thalapathy Vijay.
Stay tuned as we delve into the intricacies and the captivating allure surrounding these films.
Bagavanth Kesari: This marks a significant changeover as it deviates from the typical punch dialogues, exaggerated Balakrishna-isms, and clichéd songs.
The trailer teases an action-packed narrative, presenting Balayya in a completely different light under Anil Ravipudi's direction.
Anil Ravipudi's signature comedy seems to have taken a backseat, delivering a more serious tone, posing a significant challenge to see if the regular mass Balayya fans will embrace this change.
Tiger Nageswara Rao: The success of Ravi Teja's "Dhamaka" was primarily attributed to the captivating songs and Sreeleela's mesmerizing dance performances.
Similarly, his appearance in Chiranjeevi's "Waltair Veerayya" gained traction owing to the festive ambience and the inclusion of blockbuster songs. However, in TNR, the focus shifts entirely to intense mass action, spanning a robust three-hour runtime.
It remains to be seen how audiences will respond to this lengthy, action-packed spectacle in the absence of the usual song and dance elements.
Leo: Initially, the movie garnered massive hype, with its song becoming a smashing hit. However, expectations were dashed after the trailer release.
Nonetheless, due to the intense fandom for Lokesh Kanagaraju and Vijay, this film holds the potential to bring openings. If the content works, nothing stops.
