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 Director Arjun Jandhyala’s treatment of the narrative failed to connect, with outdated storytelling, flat humor, and dull performances taking centre stage.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

Kissik Promo: Brief, But Beautiful Glimpse of Sree Leela
The last-gasp promotional campaign for Allu Arjun and Sukumar’s Pushpa 2 is underway now and the makers have dropped a glimpse video of the forthcoming Kissak song from the film which features Allu Arjun and Sree Leela.
This promo is a very brief one and it doesn’t delve too much into the presentation side of things. In fact, we only get one small feeler of DSP’s spicy tune and a glance at Leela who is seen in a black dress.
The glimpse video is a brief yet attention-grabbing one and it has the right aesthetic value. This implies that DSP and Sukumar are coming up with another spicy dance number this time around for Pushpa 2.
We will get a full view of the same once the full song is out tomorrow, 24th November, when Allu Arjun will be partaking in an event in Chennai. The expectation is that the blockbuster combo of DSP and Sukumar, paired with an explosive dance combo of Allu Arjun and Sree Leela are going to set the stage on absolute fire with Kissik song.
Pushpa 2 is now heading for release on the 5th of December and the stakes simply couldn’t have been higher on this one.
