0

Energetic Star Ram and Puri Jagannadh are teaming up for the second time for Double iSmart and this mass entertainer reached the final stages of shoot. Close to 20 days of shoot is left pending and the film is surrounded by financial hurdles. Puri and his team are in talks to close the non-theatrical deals to complete the project. Ram demanded a fat pay cheque of Rs 25 crores and Puri Jagannadh gave his nod. But there is a huge decline in the non-theatrical deals. Especially, the Hindi rights have witnessed a massive decline.

Ram is quite strict on his stand when it comes to his remuneration. The climax portions along with two songs from Double iSmart are pending to be shot. If all goes well, the filming will start in May. The makers announced that the film will hit the screens in July. Puri Connects are the producers and Kavya Thapar is the leading lady.

Massive budget for Double iSmart Climax

0

Ram Pothineni has high hopes on his upcoming film Double iSmart which is directed by Puri Jagannadh. The film is an action packed mass entertainer and is in the final stages of the shoot. The climax portion of Double iSmart was shot recently in Mumbai and a massive set worth Rs 7.5 crores was specially constructed for the shoot. The fight was canned for 12 days in the presence of hundreds of fighters and juniors on Ram and Sanjay Dutt. Puri Jagannadh generally doesn’t spend so much on the sets and the action episodes.

He prefers real locations rather than sets. But for the first time, he changed plans for Double iSmart. Kavya Thapar is playing the heroine and Manisharma is scoring the music and background score. Puri Connects is producing Double iSmart and this pan-Indian attempt will release in summer.

Skanda 3 days Worldwide Collections – Below Par

Skanda 3 days Worldwide Collections

Skanda has dropped on the second day and has continued the drop on its third day as well. The film has collected a worldwide distributor share of 14.60 Cr by the end of its third day. After a decent opening day, the film dropped by more than 60% on the second day and another 10% on the third day from the second which shouldn’t have happened as the third day is Saturday when compared to the second which is Friday. The film now needs to up the ante today and tomorrow (holiday) so that buyers can be out with minimal losses which looks far from achievable for now.

Skanda Day1 Worldwide Collections – Biggest Opening for Ram

1

SKanda Day1 worldwide collections

Skanda has registered the biggest opening ever for a Ram film with a worldwide distributor share of 8.70 Cr. The collections in the Telugu States are behind iSmart Shankar(7.59 Cr share) though roi is bigger than that film. The opening of the film can be considered Decent to Good as it varies in different centres. The expectation of the film was to hit 10 Cr share but somehow the advance push itself was missing though walk-ins have negated that to an extent with the holiday factor. The film is carrying mixed reports and it needs to be seen how far it will go especially after the Monday holiday.

Skanda Movie Review

Skanda Movie Review

Skanda Movie Review

Telugu360 Rating 2.5/5

The trailer and promotional content of Skanda hint that is one more Boyapati mark action entertainer with a heavy dose of action and loudness. Ram transformed himself for the role and the film released today across the globe. Here is the review of Skanda:

Story:

Skanda is the story of a youngster who kidnaps the daughters of the Chief Ministers of Telugu states. The real reasons behind the act of Skanda form the rest of the story.

Boyapati Srinu is one director who relies on a huge dose of action and a strong emotional drama with no plot. He makes sure that his films are passable and the audience will not think about the logics. Boyapati is also strong in delivering emotional content. But his strategy went wrong with Skanda.

The basic plot is interesting to hear but the film needs to be narrated in a gripping manner with a lot of logics and emotions. As told, the emotional part is not convincing and the action is overdosed in Skanda.

Skanda comes to rescue Srikanth in the film. The suspense episodes are not thrilling and matching. The elevations are huge and the action episodes are lengthy. The interval bang is over the top and it will not appeal to everyone. Skanda escapes with the heroine when is chased by cops and a private army holding guns. He escapes from the spot without a single bullet injury.

Boyapati tried hard to narrate the story in the second half but it doesn’t look natural. The messages are quite old-fashioned. Boyapati designed a huge climax fight with a twist but the magic goes missing. Apart from this, Boyapati hinted that Skanda 2 is on the cards.

Ram has got good following in the masses but Skanda is an overdosed mass entertainer. Ram worked hard and transformed himself for the role. There are variations in the two roles he played in Skanda. Sree Leela’s role has nothing new and her performance too is pretty average. Saiee Manjrekar is good in the small role and she performed better than Sree Leela. Srikanth did his part well and he was apt for the role. Prince played the role of the lead villain. All the other actors have nothing good and the audience will forget the bunch of actors from Skanda.

Except Gandarabai, all the other songs are not melodious and good on screen. Thaman’s background score is loud and it could not elevate the film. The cinematography work is good. The editor should have chopped off the lengthy action episodes by convincing Boyapati Srinu. A large amount of the film’s budget is spent on the action stunts. Boyapati’s dialogues are pretty average. Skanda proves that Boyapati can deliver his best with Balakrishna and no other actor.

Boyapati-RAPO’s Skanda USA Premieres Today

0

The highly-anticipated action-packed family entertainer Skanda in the crazy combination of Blockbuster maker Boyapati Sreenu and Ustaad Ram Pothineni, will have its premiere today in the USA, with Varnikha Visuals releasing it, in association with Charisma Dreams Entertainment. This is going to be one of the biggest releases for both Ram and Boyapati Sreenu.

Although the movie will be high on action and mass elements, it will have beautiful family emotions. In fact, the feel-good emotions are the soul of the movie produced on a grand scale by Srinivasaa Chitturi under the banner of Srinivasa Silver Screen. Pavan Kumar and Zee Studios present the movie that stars the most happening Sreeleela in the female lead. Saiee Manjrekar, Prince Cecil, and Srikanth are the other prominent cast of the movie which has a special number on Ram and Urvashi Rautela.

Skanda is a Pan India film and it is making enough noise across the country. The film’s teaser, trailers, and songs received a thumping response from all corners. Aggressive promotions also helped the movie big time in carrying a strong buzz.

Advance bookings are brilliant for the movie that will equally please the masses and family audiences.

Skanda New Trailer: Boyapati, Ram’s Mass Jathara

1

Ram Pothineni and Boyapati Sreenu duo showed mass power with the theatrical trailer of Skanda which received an overwhelming response. Just three days prior to the film’s release, they unveiled the release trailer.

Although this trailer also doesn’t reveal much about the film’s story, it, however, makes much big impact, for many reasons. This has more drama and more action. It also gives more space to the second character of Ram who utters a powerful dialogue. The trailer also has some political dialogues.

While Sreeleela appeared as Ram’s love interest, Sai Manjrekar seems to have played a pivotal role. Srikanth and others are also shown in the trailer where we get to see Ram’s Mass Jathara in Boyapati’s style. Thaman’s terrific BMG, top-notch visuals, and striking production design are the other positives.

The excitement around Skanda has reached sky-high with the release trailer.

Bigg Boss Telugu 7 Day 21: Skanda Promotion and Damini Eviction

1

The latest episode of Bigg Boss Telugu 7 was an eventful one, filled with fun games, a special celebrity guest, and an unexpected eviction. Nagarjuna, the show’s host, started the episode with a light-hearted game where he posed simple and silly questions to the housemates, leading to amusing and sometimes surprising answers.

One of the questions was directed at Shobha, asking her to identify the contestant playing the game with a mask. She promptly answered “Prashant.” Damini was tasked with identifying the contestant referred to as a “sword dipped in honey,” and she humorously replied with “Sandeep.” Sandeep, when given the chance, didn’t hold back, stating that Prince was the one spreading negativity in the house. This playful game brought smiles and laughter to the house.

Special Guest: Ram Pothineni

Adding a dash of excitement to the episode, Ram Pothineni graced the Bigg Boss house as part of the promotions for his upcoming movie “Skandha.” Nagarjuna and the housemates watched and appreciated the trailer of the film. The mere presence of the hero left the contestants elated.

Nagarjuna decided to organize a fun game for the housemates, dividing them into two groups. The game involved guessing songs and dancing to them. Eager to impress Ram, the housemates put on energetic dance performances. While Damini, Amar, and Sandeep received applause from the guest of honor, Teja’s enthusiastic dance moves, despite his heavier build, provided comic relief and left Ram in fits of laughter. Prince, known for his confident demeanor, went shirtless during his dance performance. In a lighthearted moment, Shivaji jokingly advised Ram to consider marriage once his movie is released, to which the housemates and Ram responded with laughter.

An Unexpected Eviction: Damini Departs

As the episode progressed, it was time for the week’s eviction. Damini and Shubhasree were the final two contestants facing the possibility of leaving the Bigg Boss house. In a surprising turn of events, Nagarjuna announced that Damini had been eliminated this week.

Damini’s eviction was met with mixed emotions among the housemates. She expressed her disbelief at her unexpected departure and left behind some parting words of advice for her fellow contestants. Her advice covered a wide range of topics, from being more upfront and proactive to mingling with all housemates and avoiding favoritism. She encouraged Priyanka to focus on her journey rather than spending excessive time in the kitchen, advised Gowtham to listen to others, and urged Amar to be more candid. She also emphasized the importance of balance to Prashant instead of leaning towards extremes.

With Damini’s departure, the dynamics in the Bigg Boss house are sure to change once again. As the contestants continue their journey, they will carry Damini’s advice and the memories of her time in the house with them.

Skanda To Have 5 Intense Action Blocks

1

Mass hero Ram Pothineni and blockbuster director Boyapati Sreenu are set to offer a whole new experience to the masses with their movie Skanda. The Attacker is the tagline of the movie and true to it, the movie will see Ram in an aggressive avatar.

Like in typical Boyapati style, Skanda will have five intense and high-voltage action blocks. Boyapati takes extreme care in fight sequences in his movies and this time, he has set perfect situations for the action blocks to look intense, yet believable.
