Prasanth Varma’s ‘Devakinandana’ Stuns Fans But Not in a Good Way!

Sometimes, even the most promising seeds fail to sprout, and Devakinandana Vasudeva seems to be one of them. Released with much fanfare yesterday, the movie had audiences intrigued thanks to the involvement of Prasanth Varma, the mind behind the blockbuster HanuMan. In addition, the rare Twitter promotions by superstar Mahesh Babu for his nephew Ashok Galla and expectations soared. However, the end product left audiences scratching their heads, wondering what went wrong.

The attempt to retell the stories of Krishna, Kamsa, and Satyabhama in a modern context felt like a mismatched puzzle. Director Arjun Jandhyala’s treatment of the narrative failed to connect, with outdated storytelling, flat humor, and dull performances taking centre stage. Ashok Galla’s body language and over-the-top fight scenes didn’t gel well with the plot, leaving fans disappointed. Despite Prasanth Varma’s impressive storytelling track record, his script seemed out of sync with contemporary tastes.

Prasanth, who proudly shared at the pre-release event that he has 33 stories in his store, might want to double-check their relevance. While HanuMan showcased his creative brilliance, Devakinandana Vasudeva feels like a misstep. The timing didn’t help either, with audiences’ attention drifting towards the upcoming Pushpa 2 frenzy. Even Mechanic Rocky and Zebra, released on the same day, struggled with average theater occupancy.

As for Devakinandana Vasudeva, it seems to be treading water at the box office. If Prasanth Varma had hoped to transport audiences into an engaging mythological spectacle, the response might feel like a rude awakening. But hey, perhaps he can chalk this up as one of those “33 stories” better left untold!

First Review of Game Changer: Potharu… Motham Potharu

The stage is being prepared for the theatrical debut of Ram Charan’s Game Changer on the 10th of January coming year. The stakes are high on this film as it marks Ram Charan’s return to the big screens after RRR.

Coming to the topic now, SJ Suryah, who is an integral part of the cast of Game Changer has shared the first official review of Game Changer and he has a set of hype statements to deliver about the same.

SJ Suryah has dubbed for two important scenes in the film and he is genuinely hyped up about the content the film has to offer. The same can be understood if we look at his latest tweet as he hyped up the film big time.

“Hi friends , I just finished dubbing of two vital scenes in #GAMECHANGER (one with our Global star Ram Charan garu & another with Srikant garu … it took 3 whole days to finish these 2 scenes dubbing …. The out put came out like “ dheenamma dhimma thirigi bomma kanapadindhi”. Suryah tweeted.

Adding further, Suryah said he can foresee the pichchi pichchi applause in theatres . “POTHAARU MOTTHAM POTHAARU” thank you Dir @shankarshanmugh sir for this great opportunity , @SVC_official Dil Raju garu & team👍👍👍 it’s gonna be a RAM’PING SHANKAR’ANTHI see U soon friends.

Suryah is anyway a hyper active person and the kind of output that he saw with the Ram Charan starrer appears to have triggered him further and he has gone berserk with his review of the film. “Potharu…. motham Potharu….” Suryah says about the film and this is beyond all measure.
