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 Director Arjun Jandhyala’s treatment of the narrative failed to connect, with outdated storytelling, flat humor, and dull performances taking centre stage.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!

What A Pic! Ghattamaneni Reunion Is A Feast To Eye

The Ghattamaneni family generally comes across as a bunch of happy people who absolutely love each other’s company. The same is increasingly evident if we look at their latest family picture featuring the main siblings of the Ghattamaneni household.

In the pic shared by Manjula Ghattamaneni, the elder sister of Mahesh Babu, we see Mahesh, Sudheer Babu, Manjula and their descendants. This really is a wholesome pic and this is the kind of stuff that is bound to deliver eye feasts to the Akkineni family.

“Spent my birthday in the best way possible-surrounded by family, love, and joy. Here are some moments from the day that made it so special. Grateful for another year of life and the beautiful people in it” Manjula captioned this picture, thus confirming that the Ghattamaneni family came together for her birthday and they all had some fun time together.

It is really good to see the Ghattamaneni household enforce such a tight and close-knit bonding, we must say. This picture has now started to go viral on social media and expectedly so.
