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 Director Arjun Jandhyala’s treatment of the narrative failed to connect, with outdated storytelling, flat humor, and dull performances taking centre stage.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

The team of Pushpa 2: The Rule is excited about the great response to its trailer. Feedback from North Indian trade circles shows that the trailer has been well-received in the Hindi-speaking regions. This has greatly increased the film’s buzz.

To keep the excitement going, the team has planned to release what they call the “massiest song of the year.” The song titled “Kissik,” features Allu Arjun and Sreeleela. It will be released this Sunday.

With Sreeleela’s excellent dancing skills, the team believes the song will be a hit. They expect it to get everyone dancing and make a huge impact. “Kissik” will be a key part of the promotion for Pushpa 2: The Rule.

After the song release, a grand pre-release event will be held in Hyderabad. Meanwhile, photos of Sreeleela in Varanasi are going viral. In these pictures she is seen wearing a green half-saree.

It is being speculated that actress attended the pilgrimage for Pushpa 2: The Rule blessings.
