An Embarrassment for Megastar

0

Megastar Chiranjeevi and his son Ram Charan are working together for the first time and the film Acharya released today in a record number of screens. Koratala Siva directed the action drama which is made on a big budget. The openings are not up to the mark because of the badly cut trailer. Even the Mega fans showed no interest in the film. The songs too failed to impress the music lovers. The lead actors playing Naxalites made the youth stay away from the film.

The distributors bought the film for huge prices and the trade analysts expected that Acharya would open with a bang. Leave everyone in shock, the openings are quite less. Megastar Chiranjeevi would be left in embarrassment with the opening numbers of Acharya. Koratala Siva is trolled across social media for his poor work. Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan played Naxalites in Acharya. Matinee Entertainment produced the film and Manisharma composed the music and background score.

Koratala Siva trolled Badly

0

Koratala Siva happens to be one of the most honest and successful directors of Telugu cinema. Teaming up with Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan in a film would be a golden opportunity. Acharya featured Chiranjeevi and Charan in the lead roles and the film released today. The word of mouth and the response for Acharya is utterly disappointing. Koratala Siva is trolled across social media for this lackluster film. The entire second half is boring and some of the episodes are quite silly. Mega fans are left in shock with the product.

The openings are not up to the mark all over. Acharya also opened to poor response in USA and other international markets. Koratala Siva seemed to have focused more on the film’s business rather than on the script trolled netizens. The top director took the complete hold of the business. Though he condemned things, Koratala is also focused on setting up projects for several actors and producers. He is even charging a bomb for finalizing projects. Acharya is the poorest work of the director till date. It’s high time for Koratala Siva to focus on the scripts and make his comeback. Else, he would get vanished in no time.

Acharya Review : A Mega Failure !

Acharya Movie Review

Acharya Review

Megastar Chiranjeevi and his son Ram Charan are teaming up for the first time through Acharya, a mass entertainer directed by Koratala Siva. The film is hitting the screens on April 29th with a record number of screens. Here is the complete review of Acharya:

Story :

Basava (Sonu Sood) controls the temple town Dharmasthali with his gang’s making it a place of crime and dishonesty. Padaghattam’s people, known for their ancient ways of dharma and Ayurveda knowledge, are also affected by Basava’s atrocities. Acharya (Chiranjeevi) comes to the aid of the Dharmasthali and Padaghattam people. Acharya’s relationship with Sidda (Ram Charan) is revealed in a flashback, which has illegal mining mafia background. The rest of the story shows how the two righteous men fight injustice and save the people of Dharmastali and Padaghattam.

Analysis :

15 minutes – that’s how long it took to unveil the dated story. But the hope of grandeur hero introductions and high moments keep the audience waiting in their seats. Unfortunately, this does not happen. Mega Star’s soft introduction and the following slow pace scenes just do not meet any expectations. An OK item song with Regina & Chiranjeevi and done with the first half. A good entry in the interval scene gives hope that Ram Charan as Sidda will uplift the movie in the second half. Did not happen.

The sets, characters, and dialogues are pathetic.  Padaghattam word is uttered in every other scene every other minute. Chiranjeevi doesn’t have a platform to perform up to his mettle. Ram Charan‘s character is not a cameo or a 30-minute gig – pretty much the entire second half.

Neelambari song between Charan and Pooja Hegde is okay, Bhale Bhale Banjara song is good with Megastar Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan dances. The visual effects work is poor, production values are not grand.

Koratala Siva and his team failed miserably and were able to put together at least a couple of highlight scenes – something that fans could take solace in. With such a versatile actor duo, 2 Mega Stars no less, how could something like this happen? A simple outdated plot and uninteresting direction from Koratala – make it hard to get into the movie.

Positives :

  • Ram Charan’s presence
  • Bhale Bhale Banjara Song
  • Item song for masses

Negatives :

  • Mega Star Chiranjeevi in Acharya’s role is unimpressive due to weak characterization.
  • No entertainment, No fan elements
  • Weak story and direction

Verdict :

Acharya movie has a weak script and is further ruined by an unimpressive narration from Koratala Siva. The dated story couldn’t do justice to either of the roles (Acharya/Sidda); it’s another Mrugaraju in Chiranjeevi’s career!

Megastar turns Editor for Acharya

1

Koratala Siva is one of the best writers of Telugu cinema. He picks up a social element and laces all the needed commercial elements. All his films Mirchi, Srimanthudu, Janatha Garage and Bharat Ane Nenu are lengthy and they delivered a strong social message for the society. All his films had a minimum runtime of 2 hours and 45 minutes. The final cut of Acharya was locked for 2 hours and 54 minutes. Megastar Chiranjeevi watched the final cut and he was extremely impressed with the film. But he wanted the runtime to be crisp.

Chiranjeevi spent ample time and chopped off some of the scenes. The final runtime of the film reached 2 hours and 34 minutes. Koratala Siva too was convinced by the editing work of Megastar Chiranjeevi. Acharya featuring Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan is hitting the screens this Friday. Koratala Siva during his interviews revealed that the film delivers a strong message like his previous films. Matinee Entertainment and Konidela Production Company bankrolled the film.

I want my family to be the Kapoors of the south: Chiranjeevi

1

Megastar Chiranjeevi revealed in an exclusive interview while promoting ‘Acharya’ that he wants his family to be known as the ‘Kapoors’ of the south.

Chiranjeevi recalls a conversation with his brother Pawan Kalyan, in which he expressed his desire for their family to be known as the ‘Kapoors’ of the south.

“There is a Kapoor craze in Hindi cinema. In South Cinema, I also wished for our family to be like that. I’m so happy to see how these kids (from Pawan Kalyan to Allu Arjun and others) have grown up and made a name for themselves in cinema”, Chiranjeevi explained.

Chiranjeevi also recalls an incident, when he had previously travelled to the north, where he had felt humiliated.

‘The ‘Indra’ actor explained, “Despite the fact that I had won the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature film in National Integration for Rudraveena, there was little mention of the South in the award event. I felt humiliated”.

“Now that I see the regional lines slowly perishing, I feel happy”, Chiranjeevi conveyed.

Chiranjeevi spoke about his experience working with his son, Ram Charan, the latest pan-India sensation, and said, “Such opportunities do not come along very often for actors. I am a fortunate father who has witnessed Charan’s incredible growth as an actor “.

Helmed by Koratala Siva, ‘Acharya’ is in theaters on April 29.

If not Ram Charan, it would have been Pawan Kalyan: Chiranjeevi interesting comments

1

Mega star Chiranjeevi made interesting comments on Pawan Kalyan during Acharya press meet today. Details as follows.

It is known news that Ram Charan is playing the role of Sidda in Acharya movie that is slated to release on 29th April. During the press meet event that is attended by Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Pooja Hegde and Koratala Siva, a reporter asked an interesting question that if Ram Charan had not taken up this role, whether the unit would have approached Pawan Kalyan for this role. He also asked whether Pawan would have suited for this role.

Chiranjeevi made interesting comments while answering this question. He told there are many actors who can do justice to this role but the emotion between Acharya and Sidda will melt the hearts of the audiences only if it is done by some one like Ram Charan who is his family member. Chiranjeevi added that such an emotion would have been felt by the audiences even if it is done by Pawan Kalyan. Chiranjeevi said that, in case Ram Charan had not agreed for this role for any reason, Pawan Kalyan would have been the obvious choice for this role.

We need to wait and see how will this movie fare at box office.

Acharya Nizam Issue: What’s Happening?

0

A couple of gossip portals have been cooking stories that there would be an issue for theatres in Nizam region because of the past tiff between Dil Raju and Warangal Srinu. Acharya is distributed by Warangal Srinu in Nizam and he bought the film for a whopping amount of Rs 42 crores. The stories told that Dil Raju is in plans to hold more screens for RRR and KGF: Chapter 2 as they are having a steady run. But the real fact is that Warangal Srinu met Dil Raju and Shirish several times in the past one week to discuss about sharing the theatres.

Dil Raju also promised Warangal Srinu about supporting Acharya in the region. The biggest logic is that Dil Raju is producing the next film of Ram Charan and he would never have a thought of hampering the theatrical run of Acharya. Acharya would get a wide and smooth release in Nizam. The governments of the Telugu states also granted a hike in the ticket prices along with permission for the fifth show. Directed by Koratala Siva, Acharya has Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan in the lead roles. The film releases this Friday.

Anushka’s cameo in ‘Acharya’ creates a stir

0

Actress Anushka Shetty’s reported cameo in ‘Acharya’ is one of the topics discussed among Telugu film folks right now.

Anushka will appear in a song in the film, according to the most recent information. As previously reported, Kajal Aggarwal’s departure from the film has sparked speculation about who might appear in a role designed for a song featuring Chiranjeevi’s love interest.

The makers have kept everything related to this under the wraps for now. It is also being talked that the makers wanted a surprise element for the audience who watch the movie in the theaters, and hence are not ready to reveal a thing about Anushka’s cameo in the movie.

‘Acharya’s promotion is in full swing, and the pre-release event was held on a grand scale the other day. The film is set to be released on April 29.

The buzz surrounding the film is positive, but it is insufficient given that it follows ‘RRR’ and ‘KGF 2’ and will face high expectations. Pooja Hegde plays the female lead opposite Ram Charan.

Kajal’s role chopped off from Acharya

0

A grand pre-release event of Acharya took place recently but there was no discussion about Kajal or her role in the film. There are a lot of speculations about her role and the rumors told that she walked out of the film after she turned pregnant. The film’s director Koratala Siva during his recent review told that the entire role of Kajal was chopped off from the movie. Koratala said that he was hesitant to pen her role from the scripting stage but he forcefully added her role considering the commercialities.

“After completing the first schedule, I watched the rush and was not convinced. I discussed the same with Megastar garu and he asked me to take the final call. I explained the same to Kajal and she responded with a smile. Kajal’s role is completely chopped off from Acharya. Pooja Hegde plays Neelambari, the love interest of Ram Charan and there is no leading lady for Chiranjeevi garu in Acharya” told Koratala Siva. Acharya is hitting the screens on April 29th across the globe.

Megastar on how Telugu cinema broke all the Barriers

Megastar Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan are teaming up for the first time in Acharya and the film is releasing next Friday. During his speech, Chiranjeevi explained about an awards event in the past where Telugu cinema was ignored and how it impacted him. “There was no space for Telugu cinema years ago in Awards event and Indian cinema means it was Bollywood. But one man SS Rajamouli broke all the barriers through Baahubali franchise and RRR. He proved that Telugu cinema has no barriers and all the audience would love them” told Chiranjeevi.

He also explained about the efforts they kept to convince Rajamouli to get the dates of Ram Charan. “Rajamouli’s actor would be locked with him for years. We requested Rajamouli but he stopped answering our calls. We used woman sentiment saying that it was Surekha’s dream to see us together. Rajamouli promised to support us and he let Charan work for Acharya. Koratala Siva handled the film well and we completed the shoot on time” told Chiranjeevi.

Acharya will be a Double Blockbuster: Rajamouli

1

Top director SS Rajamouli attended the pre-release event of Acharya as a Chief Guest. He heaped praise on Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan. He said that Acharya would be a double blockbuster. “People ask him how could I stay humble. I learned to be humble from Megastar who reached great heights. As a fan I will vote for Chiranjeevi garu but I would love to watch my hero Ram Charan on screen. Koratala Siva sounds simple but he is a man who observes a lot. He is one of the best mass directors of this time” told Rajamouli.

He also heaped praise on Ram Charan saying that he is a self-made man. “I felt that Charan walked in the footsteps of Chiranjeevi garu. But Charan is a self-made man. Charan locked his own scripts and finalized films on his own” told Charan. Directed by Koratala Siva, Acharya has Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan in the lead roles. The film produced by Matinee Entertainments is hitting the screens on April 29th all over.

Chiranjeevi was the one who got Rajamouli’s approval for Ram Charan’s dates

0

Following the phenomenal success of ‘RRR,’ Ram Charan, who has begun promoting his upcoming release ‘Acharya,’ revealed intriguing details about Koratala Siva’s directorial.

During a media conversation, Ram Charan discusses how despite having no dates due to his commitments with ‘RRR’, he found time to play a key role in ‘Acharya’.

In the same interview, Ram Charan and director Koratala Siva expressed concerns about arranging Charan’s dates for ‘Acharya.’

“It’s difficult to get the hero’s dates when working with a huge director like Rajamouli,” Koratala Siva explained.

“When Koratala sir approached me for the dates to shoot for Acharya, we were both terrified of approaching Rajamouli,” Ram Charan explained.

It was megastar Chiranjeevi himself, who met Rajamouli and persuaded him to let Charan go for a few days so that he could finish ‘Acharya’, the duo (Ram Charan and Koratala Siva) conveyed.

Ram Charan also reveals that it was his mother’s wish to see both his father and him on-screen, and she was the one who convinced Chiranjeevi to cast him in ‘Acharya’.

‘Acharya’ is slated for its release on April 29 and stars Kajal Aggarwal, and Pooja Hegde as the female leads opposite Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan, respectively.
