Rating : 2.5/5

It’s a mass action film with a rural backdrop.Its a remake of Tamil film Garudan.

Coming to the story it all starts with the Endowment minister played by Sarath Lohitashwa eyeing a temple land worth 1000  crores in Devipatnam village where Gajapati (Manoj) , Varada(Nara Rohit) and Seenu ( Bellamkonda Seenu) reside.

Nara Rohit and Manoj are temple trustees of the village, the rest of the story deals with the conflict it creates between Nara Rohit and Manoj for temple land protection or give it minister for the greed of money.

Bellamkonda Seenu is a silent witness to all the conflicts and later takes things into his hand to solve the problems of families and in the process divine intervention happens through him to protect temple land.

Ajay Verma as Theatre and side kick to minister as a smuggler who makes first copies of all popular luxury brands did a decent job.

Vennela Kishore’s role as constable is wasted, Sampath Raj as CI assisting Minister under pressure did a good job, Raja Ravindra cameo as SI worked well, Jayasudha role in mother character was decent.

Its a rural action drama with temple land conflict backdrop that works in parts, primarily due to the strong performances of Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, Manchu Manoj, and Nara Rohith, along with some impactful action sequences and a good background score.

The name is Archana Singh

Though not yet a household name in Telugu, Archana Singh is already well-known in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam cinema. A bold and beautiful actress with an MBA in hand, Archana is not just active in films but also takes on daring adventures. Hailing from Karnataka, this fearless young woman recently proved her mettle by participating in the Everest Base Camp trek in the Himalayas. Without saying it outright, she made it clear that her ultimate goal is to reach greater heights in life—both literally and metaphorically!

An MBA graduate, Archana has worked with top companies like Wipro, ITC Group of Hotels, and also served as an air hostess with Kingfisher and Jet Airways, all while chasing opportunities in films. She has appeared in several Kannada and Tamil movies and impressed Telugu audiences with her performance in “Damayanti – Kaushik Varma.” Archana is also making her Malayalam debut with the film “My Father – My Hero”, which is notably being made in English as well.

A trained classical dancer, she performs dance shows whenever time permits. Fluent in Kannada, Hindi, Urdu, and English, Archana also has a strong command over Telugu and Tamil.

Speaking about her recent Everest Base Camp expedition, this “adventure queen” said:

“The thrill I got from my earlier jobs and acting in South Indian films was nothing compared to the adrenaline rush of trekking Everest. It gave me the motivation and drive to aim even higher in life. This daring journey helped me crush hidden fears and doubts I didn’t even know I had. It’s hard to put this experience and emotion into words.”

When it comes to acting, Archana Singh says she is looking forward to exciting opportunities in Telugu cinema as well. The daring and dashing lady is all set to conquer new heights—both on screen and in life!

The hype for Rajinikanth’s latest film, “Coolie,” is growing day by day. Lokesh Kanagaraj is directing this film. Shruti Haasan is the heroine in this movie, which also stars King Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Sathyaraj in key roles. Anirudh is the music director.

Rajinikanth’s remuneration for this film, which is set to release on August 14th, has become a hot topic. Sun Pictures, who are producing this film, paying Rajini ₹150 crores has left top Bollywood heroes disheartened.

No one there can understand how he can command remuneration twice his age at 74. “Coolie,” made on a budget of ₹350 crores, has already recouped ₹240 crores from non-theatrical rights.

There’s a chance it could earn at least another ₹300 crores from theatrical rights. If the film is a hit, it easily has the potential to collect ₹500-600 crores. This film will clash with NTR’s “War-2” in Telugu
