    HMR Shooting: Hello Crew Hardship

    Hello Crew Hardship in Hyderabad Metro Rail

    We are all aware of the fact that Akhil Akkineni’s Hello is the first film that shot in Hyderabad Metro Rail before the inauguration. In a recent interview, the crew has revealed some interesting facts about the HMR shooting and the struggles they faced.

    It took months for the Hello team to convince the metro rail authorities for shooting and the administration also held an awareness programme for the crew regarding the regulations, security, and cleanliness. They just allowed the trained crew to shot the sequences in HMR and they designed the schedules based on the metro rail workers without causing any disturbance for their works.

    They also revealed that the crew did a pre-production of more than a month for the shooting in HMR, to make sure all the things fall into right place. The team has worked hard to complete the schedule and sometimes postpone their work to avoid cliches with the metro workers and spent hours to set proper lighting. So, like you all, we are eagerly waiting how Vikram has shown the most prestigious and brand new HMR in Hello film.

    Hello Audio Review – Mellowed Musings

    Hello Audio Review

    Hello is an upcoming romantic action entertainer starring Akkineni Akhil and Kalyani Priyadarshan in lead roles. Music for the film is composed by Anoop Rubens and the film is directed by Vikram Kumar who gave memorable films such as Manam and 24 earlier. The album has released yesterday in the breezy city Vizag and here is an exclusive audio roundup:

    Song 1: Hello
    Singer: Arman Malik
    Lyrics: Vanamali, Shreshta

    Hello is an interesting composition with relaxed acoustic guitars, and breezy strings along with impressive lyrics by Vanamali and Shreshta. This is a tailor made song for a competent singer like Armaan Malik who is known for soothing melodies. The song has a hummable instinct to it and an air of expressive breeziness fused with contemporary Rap.

    Song 2: Anaganaga Oka Uru
    Singer: Sri Dhruthi
    Lyrics: Chandrabose

    Ananganaga Oka Ooru is a storytelling styled composition carrying an air of innocence and swiftness. Chandrabose’s lyrics are quite appealing and at the same time doesn’t reveal much about the story. Sri Dhruti’s sweet vocals are amazingly sweet and lovely to hear! A very special mention should be made for violin which takes the front seat in style and poise. The composition oscillates between Carnatic raagas Suddha Dhanyasi and eerie Nata Bhairavi in effortless ease.

    Song 3: Thalachi Thalachi
    Singer: Haricharan
    Lyrics: Vanamali

    It is time for a melancholic melody which is such a strong base of Anoop Rubens and swiftly it comes in the form of Thalachi Thalachi. Haricharan excels in this philosophically driven romantic number and the harmonic minor scale is quite evident throughout the song. A big applause of Vanamali’s lyrics which strike an impressive chord. The mixed feelings of longing, worry and eventually hope are beautifully presented in this song.

    Song 4: Yevevo
    Singers: Akhil Akkineni, Jonita Gandhi
    Lyrics: Chandrabose

    The hero Akhil makes his presence felt with a soothing solo Yevevo again in western harmonic minor scale which obviously gives a feeling of eeriness and sadness. Lilting grand piano is ably supported by string section and very mild harmonica.

    Song 5: Anaganaga Oka Uru (Female Version)
    Singer: Shreya Ghoshal
    Lyrics: Chandrabose

    The innocent Anangananga Oka Ooru now arrives in the supreme vocals of Shreya Ghoshal who gives the song a sense of melody and brings forth the brilliance of the tune. This version represents the feeling of love with an air of passion and maturity- thanks to the melody queen’s voice!

    Song 6: Merise Merise
    Singers: Haricharan, Srinidhi Venkatesh, Shruthi Ranjani
    Lyrics: Vanamali, Shreshta

    The album gets a fitting finale with Merise Merise which fuses folk and trance- two totally contrasting genres of Music. This song would perfectly fit for a mellowed down party and doesn’t make an attempt to sound loud or jarry at any point of time. Haricharan,Srinidhi and Shruti Ranjani do their bit with an effortless ease and perfection! Anoop includes a celtic flavor in interludes which is quite rare for an Indian wedding number.

    Verdict:

    All in all, Hello is a wonderful album and a whiff of fresh air in the midst of loud sounding Telugu albums and display multiple hues of love and sensitive emotions.

    Our Picks : Hello , Anaganaga oka uru and Talachi Talachi

    OS Promotions – Akhil gets it right

    0

    Overseas market is turning out to be a decisive factor in deciding the box office fate of Telugu films. This is the reason why many of our stars are choosing scripts that equally cater the likes of both domestic and overseas audience. Moreover, our stars are also concentrating on promoting their films in overseas.

    We have already seen many occasions in the past when some of our star heroes went to US to woo audience as a part promotions. Unfortunately, almost all stars didn’t get the strategy right when it comes to planning their overseas tours . Many stars went to US one week or two weeks after the film released there. This strategy just proved costly for the producer and hardly helped the film’s collections. This is because it is too late to promote a film after one or two weeks of its release as films run for a maximum of two to three weeks in overseas.

    Now, Akkineni Akhil has got it right with sensible planning. As reported earlier, he will embark on a three day tour to US along with Rana Daggubati and Anup Rubens to interact with audience there prior to the release of his upcoming film Hello. This tour, which is going to start one week before release, will definitely increase the buzz on the film among overseas audience and will result in good openings irrespective of the talk it garners from the premiers.

    So, after many stars got it wrong with their strategy of promotions in overseas, Akhil is doing it the right way which is likely to benefit his film big time.

    Hello is slated to hit the screens on December 22nd.

    Nag’s smart strategy : Prepares audience ahead of Hello release

    Akkineni Nagarjuna is known for his prudent selection of films as a producer. After Akhil’s debut film tanked at the box office, Nagarjuna decided to relaunch him under Annapurna Studios and roped in Vikram Kumar for the second project. As Hello is gearing up for release on Dec 22nd, Nag decided to interact with media in Hyderabad to update about the film’s output.

    Just like he did for some his earlier films like Soggade Chinni Nayana and Chaitu’s Ra Randoi Veduka Choodam, Nagarjuna has come up with the strategy of preparing audience ahead of Hello release by giving out some interesting points in the story.

    He said Hello is a cute romantic drama which narrates the journey of a young couple who get separated during childhood and unite after 15 years. He added that the film has a beautiful backstory with kids and Vikram’s narration will be interesting. He also revealed that the entire story takes place in a single day and the action episodes will be the major highlight for the film.

    This is a smart strategy by Nag to increase the buzz among audience by revealing some of the film’s defining moments before its release. Going by the way Nagarjuna spoke with super confidence about the film, it looks like he is very happy after watching the final output. He has decided to promote the film big time and advised Akhil to go on a three day tour to US to interact with audience there.

    Akkineni’s silent satire on ‘Awards’ with Hello Trailer

    0

    Akkineni’s Hello Trailer silent satire on Nandi Awards

    Akkineni family’s cult classic Manam, starring three generation of actors from the illustrious family, left an everlasting impression in the hearts of Telugu audience. However, the film didn’t get due credit in the recently announced Nandi Awards by the AP state. The film was named the second best film of the year after Legend.

    While there has been a collective clamour from audience, media and many industry people that Manam rightly deserves to be awarded the Best Film in that year, Akkineni family remained phlegmatic and didn’t respond on the issue.

    Now, they made a silent satire on the jury’s decision through Akhil’s Hello Trailer. At the start of the trailer, Hello is referred as a film from the ‘Makers of Manam – To which you awarded your hearts’.

    Nagarjuna has ridiculed the awards by indirectly referring Manam as a film which might be ignored by the Awards Committee but won many hearts in Telugu states.

    This insinuating remark from Nagarjuna has now become a talking point among audience and industry circles.
