Rana, Venkatesh in talks for ‘Vikram Vedha’ Telugu remake

R.Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi starrer Tamil gangster drama “Vikram Vedha”, which struck gold at the box-office domestically as well as outside India, will soon be remade in Telugu, a source said.

“Talks have been initiated with Rana Daggubati and Venkatesh for Telugu remake. They were the first choice even before the release of ‘Vikram Vedha’. However, nothing has been finalised yet and the process might take a few more months,” a source from the film’s unit told IANS.

Directed by Pushkar-Gayatri, the film has grossed over Rs 40 crore worldwide in its first week in cinemas.

Released in cinemas last week, the film has turned out to be a blockbuster, earning praise from critics and audiences alike.

Inspired from the popular folklore “Vikram Betaal”, its morality riddles are applied to a police-gangster backdrop.

While Madhavan plays an encounter specialist, Vijay essays the role of a gangster, whose role unanimously won over audiences.

“Vikram Vedha” producer Sashikanth told IANS: “Too early to talk about the remake. But yes, talks are on for the remake. But nothing has been confirmed yet.”

The film also stars Shraddha Srinath, Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar and Kathir.

Details of Venky’s Role in #PK25

Ever since the reports of Venkatesh playing a special role in Pawan Kalyan’s new film in the direction of Trivikram are out, Telugu movie lovers, especially fans of both the heroes are unable to contain their excitement. There is huge curiosity over Venky’s character in the film.

As per our reliable sources, Venky is essaying the character of Pawan’s Uncle (Menamama). His character will have a screen time of 8 minutes. And, for most part, audience can see Pawan and Venky in one frame. The crucial cameo of Venky will leave a mark of its own on the entire story. Trivikram sharpened the dialogues that he had written earlier once Venky came on board.

Playing the uncle of a 45-year-old Pawan is a daring move from Venky but how could he have rejected when Pawan himself suggested his name. In fact, Trivikram was considering the likes of Mammootty and Mohanlal for this role but it was Pawan, who suggested the name of his ‘Gopala Gopala’ co-star.

The scenes featuring Pawan and Venky were recently canned at Saradhi Studios. It will be a delight to watch the two charismatic actors in one frame.

Babu Bangaram Review : Not a 24 Karat Gold

Babu Bangaram Review : Not a 24 Karat Gold

Babu Bangaram Review

Telugu360 Rating 2.75/5

Story :

‘Babu Bangaram’ is the story of a compassionate cop, ACP Krishna (Venkatesh). Unlike typical cops, he is very sensitive, even goes out of the way to help the bad guys as well. One day, ACP Krishna meets the gorgeous Sailaja (Nayanatara), who runs a mess. After realizing that her entire family is dependent on Sailaja’s income, ACP Krishna tries to help her. He also learns that her father is a suspect in a gruesome murder case. Sailaja’s father Sastry witness the murder of an IT officer, orchestrated and executed by the local MLA Puchappa (Posani Murali Krishna) and his friend mafia don Mallesh Yadav (Sampath). Typical Telugu movie plot has Sastry framed as a suspect.

Learning the Sailaja’s hardship and her father’s troubles with the law, ACP Krishna helps them out and brings the MLA and the mafia don to justice.

Analysis:
Director Maruthi, who was successful in developing situational comedy around the hero’s characterization in his previous movies, tried to repeat the same formula. His attempt to generate comedy based on ACP Krishna’s compassionate character (like the comedy with Nani’s absentmindedness in Bhale Bhale Magadivoy) wasn’t very effective. No proper story and mediocre screenplay do not help the movie. In earlier interviews, Venkatesh and Maruti have mentioned the movie to contain ample situational comedy. The reality is that a number of comedy scenes appear to be forced without any context. “30-years industry” Prudhvi stole the show in the first half. In the second half, Bramhanandam and Posani do their bit.

Director Maruthi didn’t take proper care to establish Venki’s character. Right after the interval, ACP was shown as a transformed person, from an easy-going and compassionate guy to a serious guy. And then again director, does comedy scenes on Venky.

However, Babu Bangaram doesn’t test your IQ levels. It is easy going on the audience. Venkatesh and Maruti tried to create a full-fledged commercial movie, however they failed to realize that at Venkatesh’s age it is really difficult to pull off. Also, there are no high points in the movie. Nayanatara’s role has very few scenes and her fans will be disappointed. Posani Krishna Murali excelled in his character.

Songs:
Mostly filler songs, could have been much better. ‘Mallela Vanala ..’, ‘Raaka Raaka vachindi…’ songs which were a chartbusters before release also look very good on screen. Sonam Bajwa’s special appearance item song which is also title song ‘Babu Bangaram..’ , in the second half is beautifully shot. ‘Tikku Tikkantuu..’ bit song was shot on popular TV show Jabardhast’s transgender actors and may appeal to mass audience

Positives:

· Story (Wafer thin) fits Venkatesh’s image
· End to end easy going movie
· Prudhvi, Posani characters
· In second half, couple of action blocks to cater Venky’s action image came out well

Negatives:

· Comedy scenes failed to generate any laughter.
· Songs could have been better
· Clichéd story
· Non engaging screenplay

Verdict:

Director Maruthi missed his opportunity to make it to big league. ‘Babu Bangaram’ is a kind of movie which you won’t regret either watching or skipping. At the box-office, movie can be a success in the B & C centers and will possibly generate a decent revenue in the A centers with the long weekend, catchy title and Victory Venkatesh’s image. In overseas, prospects of this movie are relatively grim. If you don’t mind a template comedy, watch it.
