No filmmaker works hard and delivers a flop product. Cinema is a collective effort and if one among the team dominates or doesn’t care about the suggestions from his other team members, he will be blamed completely for the result. Things happened completely similar with Vinaya Vidheya Rama which ended up as a disaster. Ram Charan penned an open letter recently and he apologized his fans for falling short of the expectations. He is said to have been shattered with the film’s result at this crucial time in his career.

After the release of Vinaya Vidheya Rama, there are no talks between Charan – Boyapati and Boyapati – Danayya. Ram Charan’s recent letter shattered Boyapati Sreenu as he got completely ignored. The recent ugly spat between Boyapati and Danayya is now open and is discussed all over across Tollywood today. Charan too came to know about this and stood behind Danayya supporting his producer.

Charan and Danayya during the shoot several times opposed some of the episodes but Boyapati seems not bothered about their view. All these episodes have been badly trolled by the audience post release which left Charan and Danayya in anger. Charan even questioned that there is no need to shoot the action stunt in Azerbaijan but Boyapati made his mind to shoot it there. Even while finalizing the film’s cast, Boyapati stood on his decision and did not consider any suggestions of other team members.

This heaped up the film’s budget and Boyapati did not even make changes after watching the final rushes which made Vinaya Vidheya Rama a costly mistake in Telugu cinema. This is the reason why Boyapati Sreenu was left aside and the entire team of Vinaya Vidheya Rama stood against him.

Ram Charan after a month stepped out responding about the disaster of Vinaya Vidheya Rama. His emotional letter thanking his fans and everyone for the enormous support proved that Charan is a true gentleman. He has been lauded across the circles of social media by his fans for accepting the result with a brave heart. What’s surprise is that Charan did not mention about the film’s director Boyapati Sreenu. Boyapati is said to be quite angry for Charan’s move for not informing him about this step and ignoring him completely in the letter.

Vinaya Vidheya Rama is the biggest disaster in Boyapati’s career and the film’s result brought a huge gap between Boyapati and Charan. The duo did not meet each other post release and this letter created a huge drift between them. Boyapati is quite furious and expressed his anger before his close aides for Charan ignoring him completely in the released letter. Charan declared Vinaya Vidheya Rama as Boyapati Sreenu’s disaster.

Mega Powerstar Ram Charan after a non-Baahubali hit like Rangasthalam tested his luck with Vinaya Vidheya Rama which bombed badly at the box-office. The actor for the first time post release responded about the film. He explained about the efforts of the technicians and thanked his fans for the unconditional support.

He also called it unfortunate as the film failed to meet the expectations of the audience. Ram Charan thanked all his distributors, exhibitors who backed Vinaya Vidheya Rama. He had a special mention for his producer DVV Danayya saying that no words are enough to describe about his work and support. Charan proved that he is a true gentleman with the letter thanking everyone.

Vinaya Vidheya Rama is directed by Boyapati Sreenu and produced by DVV Danayya. Charan is busy with SS Rajamouli’s RRR which also features NTR in the other lead role. The film is slated for summer 2020 release.

The latest Ramcharan Teja starrer in Telugu, “Vinaya Vidheya Rama” (VVR), which opened on Pongal all across Andhra Pradesh, is a deeply offensive film on every possible level. It insults the female sex by lewdly objectifying the heroine Kiara Advani.

It also insults the audiences? basic intelligence by taking the most outrageous liberties with time and space. To give an early indication of the film?s topographical tyranny, in one sequence, the film?s super-duper-hero Rama crashes out of an airport?s check-in lounge, jumps on a speeding train-top from Gujarat which takes him to Bihar to save his brother.

Don’t ask how Rama is able to time his furious travel plan with the Bihar train timings. I think it was Dharmendra who first balanced himself on a speeding train roof to avenge the wrongs done to his onscreen family in “Yaadon Ki Baaraat”. If he saw Ramcharan Teja?s loco-motivated homage to that old spirit of dada-giri Dharam Paaji style, Dharmendra would probably regret the day he agreed to travel ticketless.

There are many other absolutely unacceptable leaps of imagination in VVR that boggle the mind and do a great disservice to progressive cinema all across India.

As a Bihari, my biggest grouse against “Vinaya Vidheya Rama” is in the way Bihar and Biharis are shown as scruffy, sleazy, murderous bandits and outlaws. For years, filmmakers and actors in the South have complained about the way Hindi cinema depicts South Indians in a stereotypical ?Lungi Dance? avatar. In fact in the NTR biopic that opened this week, NTR (Balakrishna) is seen haranguing Mrs Indira Gandhi for referring to South Indians as ?Madrasis’.

I wonder what NTR would have to say about Ramcharan Tej’s licentious lies regarding Bihar and Biharis. For one, the film?s main villain, Raja Bhai played by Vivek Oberoi, is shown to be a Bihari running his own army in “Bihar”?or what passes off as Bihar in this madly confounded film which knows neither its history or geography well enough to make the narrative half-way coherent.

Raja Babu is shown to bully the Bihar Chief Minister, Mahesh Manjrekar, into perpetrating the worst havoc imaginable. The tyranny gets acutely unbearable when Raja Babu kidnaps the Election Commissioner and makes him dance in public wearing ghungroos(anklets) on his feet to humiliate him.

I really didn’?t get that one. Why would a dance in ghungroos be such an act of humiliation for a decent man whose nose the villain wants to rub in the ground? There are so many renowned much respected Kathak and Bharat Natyam dancers in India. Kamal Haasan and Birju Maharaja are names that come to mind.

This crass film moves forward on the strength of its own perverse definition of machismo and virility. The hero is shown literally beating up an army of ?Bihari? goons (all armed with guns, machets and other weapons) as the soundtrack emblasons his heroics with sounds that suggest a siren call for absolute anarchy.

My quibble with the film?s crass conflicts are with its ?Bihar? connections. The hinterland is replete with sandscapes and horses and outlaws who look like they are earning extra money by sneaking out of a Ram Gopal Verma action film and is no part of any Bihar that I know.

Why are Biharis considered to be so thick-skinned as to silently accept being portrayed as the worst scum of the earth? Isn?t that the image that chauvinistic political parties in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh favour in order to put migrants from UP and Bihar in place, namely back to their home states? And now, depicting Biharis as lumpen elements is taken to the next level. The hero must travel to Bihar(from Gujarat, on a speeding train upon which he jumps on from above) to rescue his Telugu family from North Indian pseudo-Maoists.

Dravidian rectitude survives.

Ram Charan after a blockbuster like Rangasthalam tested his luck with a mass entertainer Vinaya Vidheya Rama which released during Sankranthi. The movie ended up as a huge dud and turned a prey for a bunch of trolls. During an interview, Charan revealed that he turned Boyapati Sreenu’s brain child believing him blindly. This turned out to be a costly mistake for the actor.

Speaking during a Sankranthi interview, Charan said “We discussed about the project for over four years. For the first time, the audience witnessed uttering some mass dialogues through my role. I was always contemporary and social in my previous films. I was thrilled and went on Boyapati Sreenu’s conviction for Vinaya Vidheya Rama. I did not use my brain and followed him without suggesting any changes giving him a free hand. It is quite an easy job if the actor gets moulded as per the director’s instructions. I completely surrendered to his kind of making without involving into his work”.

Vinaya Vidheya Rama featured Ram Charan and Kiara Advani in the lead roles. Produced by DVV Danayya, the film will end up as one of the biggest debacles of Telugu cinema.

Despite Boyapati Srinu’s poor track record in overseas, trade circles expected decent openings for Vinaya Vidheya Rama as Charan delivered a non Baahubali hit with Rangasthalam. Shockingly, the action drama is off to a terrible start in overseas with embarrassing Thursday premiers.

As per the latest reports, Vinaya Vidheya Rama grossed just over $ 100K from its premiers and shocked trade circles. The total premiers might end below $ 150K by the end of the day making it the most disappointing start for a big ticket film in recent times. Easy, these numbers are less when compared with the premiers medium range heroes like Nani and Vijay Devarakonda. Recent films like AWE, NOTA, Tholiprema performed better than VVR on premiers day.

Ram Charan created decent base in USA with Dhruva. With Rangasthalam emerging as the biggest blockbuster of all time after Baahubali series, trade circles billed him as a one of the reliable actors in current generation. Unfortunately, Vinaya Vidheya Rama couldn’t benefit much from Rangasthalam success. Boyapati Srinu’s poor form, mass loaded trailers and poor planning seems to have heavily impacted the premiers in overseas.

Ram Charan and Boyapati Sreenu are teaming up for the first time for Vinaya Vidheya Rama. The film is one of most awaited releases of Telugu cinema and is carrying huge expectations. Not missing Boyapati Sreenu’s trade mark, the film also has a strong emotional family drama that would impress all the sections of audience. Ram Charan’s fearless Rambo look from an action episode already excited his fans and this action episode canned in Azerbaijan is the major highlight of Vinaya Vidheya Rama.

The film has a huge line up of cast like Prashanth, Sneha and Aryan Rajesh. Vinaya Vidheya Rama stages on the bonding of brothers and it takes an action path after the antagonist disturbs Ram Konidela’s family. Vivek Oberoi is locking horns with Charan in this mass entertainer. The songs already turned out to be chart busters and the songs canned in lavish sets will treat the audience on screen.

Boyapati kept Mega fans in mind and he managed to include all the commercial ingredients in the right amounts. Kiara Advani’s glamorous outing will be a treat for masses and the production values of DVV Entertainments are expected to top notch. Vinaya Vidheya Rama between huge expectations is releasing on January 11th across the world.
