Buzz: Vijay gets a hefty advance from Mythri?

Tollywood’s top production house Mythri Movie Makers is now working with all the top actors of Telugu cinema and is playing the biggest bet ever in Tollywood. To expand their wings, Mythri paid a hefty advance to Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan and the project will roll by the end of 2022. The latest update is that Tamil Superstar Vijay has received a huge advance of Rs 10 crores from Mythri Movie Makers recently.

As speculated, Vijay will not work with Lokesh Kanagaraj for the film. The hunt for the director is currently on and Vijay will work with Mythri Movie Makers once he is done with his current projects. Vijay also established a decent market in Tollywood when his fellow Tamil actors lost their hold. Taking advance from Mythri at this time would be a wise move from the actor. The production house is keen to rope in a Tollywood director for this bi-lingual. More details awaited.

Vijay’s Master is a disaster in Bollywood

Vijay’s latest film Master released in all the major Indian languages and the collections are exceptional in Tamil Nadu and the film is doing decent business in Telugu states and Kerala. The Telugu theatrical rights are valued at Rs 10 crores and the buyers entered into the profit zone already. The collections are rock solid in Tamil Nadu. But things are completely different across the North Indian circuits.

Master opened to poor occupancy and minimal footfalls in Bollywood. The numbers are quite poor that the buyers will even fail to recover the digital charges for the film. Though there are no prominent releases during this season, the audience are not much interested to watch the film in theatres. Vijay’s movies are watched well on small screen but the theatrical response is quite poor. Master is directed by Khaidi fame Lokesh Kanagaraj and Vijay, Vijay Sethupathi, Shruti Haasan are the lead actors in this mass entertainer.

Critically acclaimed Logesh could not dare “Sukumar way”

Critically acclaimed Logesh could not dare “Sukumar way”

When Master movie was announced in the communication of Logesh Kanagaraj and Vijay, expectations skyrocketed as Logesh recently gave a movie that is a blockbuster hit and yet critically acclaimed in the form of “Khaithi”. But once the movie is released it is clear that Logesh too joined that bandwagon of directors who don’t dare to do experiments when they have superstars at their helm.

The conundrum that the creative directors face:

There were many directors in the past who got the chance to direct top stars after giving a critically acclaimed and yet successful movie. The actual litmus test for the director starts after getting the chance because now the audience is keen to see whether the director chooses to make the movie in his style or he will subsume himself and make a regular mass movie that the fans of the hero habituated to see. Some directors dare to make the movies in their own style irrespective of who the star is. On the other hand, most of the directors prefer to make regular potboilers for the masses.

Sukumar way:

Sukumar is one director in recent times who made movies in his own style irrespective of the star casting. His movies with Mahesh Babu, Jr NTR and Ram charan prove that he has enough courage to go slightly offbeat from the regular mainstream of Tollywood. His Rangasthalam movie not only created a sensation at the box office but also brought the real actor out of Ram Charan. Even when a mass hero like Jr NTR is at the helm, he preferred to make the movie in his style instead of giving in to make a movie of Jr NTR style.

Logesh disappointed his fans by making a regular Vijay movie

Logesh earned critical acclaim for his Kaithi movie as the movie has broken many formulas of regular commercial movies. When the movie is announced in the combination of Vijay and Logesh, and especially when it is revealed that Vijay Sethupathi is the main villain in the movie. But the movie ended up as one more regular Vijay movie with too many slow-motion scenes and elevation scenes that are the norm for any Vijay movie. Even Vijay Sethupathi role is also a usual villain role though the actor made it interesting with his impeccable performance. Finally, the movie ended up as “Strictly for fans (of both the leads)” movie.

Overall, it looks like Logesh doesn’t have the guts to make critically acclaimed movies with the superstars. Though there are some scenes in the movie that show Logesh’s attempts to strike a balance and find the middle way, the balance is heavily tilted towards the star hero and routine mass elements.

Master Movie Review : Fails to meet expectations

MASTER MOVIE REVIEW

MASTER MOVIE REVIEW

TELUGU360 RATING 2.5/5

Tamil actor Vijay cemented his position in Tollywood after a long wait. His recent films fared well at the box-office and his recent offering Master is high on expectations. The makers managed to get a release in a record number of screens across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Khaidi sensation Lokesh Kanagaraj directed Master and Vijay Sethupathi essayed the role of the lead antagonist. Malavika Mohanan is the heroine and XB Film Creators are the producers. Here is the review of Master:

Story:

JD (Vijay) is a professor in a renowned college who is addicted to alcohol and is hated by the heads as he never keeps up to the rules. But he is a hero across the college as he does things at the right time. After an unexpected incident, JD is sent to a juvenile center which is lead by Bhavani (Vijay Sethupathi). The rest of Master is all about the real conflict between JD, Bhavani and the second half narrates about who takes the upper hand and what happens finally. Watch Master to know about the unknown truths that happen in JD’s life.

Analysis:

Starting off, the audience will be quite disappointed with Lokesh Kanagaraj’s work for sure. One needs ample patience to watch this stretched drama and the second half turns out to be a boring feast that is high on a predictable note. After watching Khaidi, one expects an intense drama between the lead actors between Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi but Lokesh simply has wasted his opportunity. The episodes between Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi are minimal. While Vijay impresses the audience with his swag, Vijay Sethupathi is the show stealer of Master undoubtedly.

The first half of Master has things in the right proportions and it reminds everyone of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s yesteryear hit film Master. Two good action episodes, impressive songs and Vijay’s performance along with the college episodes and terrific interval bang makes the first half of Master a passable affair. But the second half tests the patience of the audience and most of the episodes are dragged, predictable. Cutting down the college episodes would have helped the film and the climax portions are pretty simple and make no impact. After an impressive first half, the second half of Master is a disappointment in many ways.

However Master will appeal to the hardcore fans of Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi along with the Tamil audience. The action episodes are well designed and presented on screen. Master runs on a commercial template and has enough dose of Tamil nativity which is a barrier for Telugu audience. Anirudh Ravichander is an asset for the film and his background score takes most of the episodes to the next level.

Performances:

Vijay tops the show as usual with his mannerisms and keeps his fans thoroughly engaging. His dance moves are a treat and he excelled in the action episodes. Malavika Mohanan has nothing much to do in the film but she makes a splash with her screen presence. Vijay Sethupathi is a perfect treat and he is the major highlight of the movie. His role should have been extended and fits perfectly in the role of a crooked gangster throughout. Everything was taken well care of about designing his role and presenting it. Andrea’s role is a wasted attempt. Nassar and Shantanu have been decent in their roles.

The audience would expect a hard-hitting and intense film from Lokesh Kanagaraj after Khaidi but it is a typical commercial template like Vijay’s previous films. The songs are just ok and the background score has been top class. The cinematography work looks apt. The editing is below average and more than half an hour in the second half should have been chopped. The production values are grand and apt. Lokesh Kanagaraj fails to live up to the expectations and Master is just one more commercial attempt.

Verdict:

Master is a wasted attempt with a regular commercial template that falls short of the expectations. Vijay, Vijay Sethupathi  and Anirudh’s terrific background score are the only saviors.The patience of the audience would be tested throughout the second half and the film will appeal only to the diehard fans of Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi.

Vijay meets Tamil Nadu CM before Master Release

Ilayathalapathy Vijay is the most bankable actor across the circles of Tamil Nadu. He wanted his next film Master to release in theatres at any cost and the makers rejected several digital deals in the recent times.

The theatres are currently operated with 50 percent occupancy and this would not help the big films to recover their investments. Master is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and Malavika Mohanan is the leading lady. Vijay Sethupathi is the lead antagonist in this action entertainer.
