'Ramarao On Duty' Director Sarath Mandava Makes A Valid Point On Critics' Reviews

Hyderabad, July 11 - The critics' reviews have always been in question but in the last couple of years, the credibility of critics has reached the lowest level. However, it is unfortunate that critics' reviews are still able to influence the audience which is directly affecting some films' business if not all. ## In the last few months, many filmmakers have spoken about biased reviews by critics and the list is joined by the director of Ravi Teja's upcoming movie "Ramarao On Duty", Sarath Mandava. During a recent interaction with Telugu media, Sarath Mandava made a valid point on reviews by critics. ## The director indirectly stated that some of the critics are opportunists who give low ratings to some of the movies for their own benefit. While giving the example of a recently 1000-crore worldwide grosser movie, Mandava said, "If a film ended up becoming a huge blockbuster irrespective of bad reviews, will the reviewers accept their mistake & correct the reviews?"## He went on to say that reviews are perceptions of a few people and the audience should be aware of that. "For a big recent film, some of the websites gave 2.5 ratings but the movie ended grossing more than 1000 crores at the worldwide box office. If the audience like a film, they will make it a huge blockbuster irrespective of reviews", he added. ## Talking about "Ramarao On Duty", it is an action thriller film that is produced by SLV Cinemas and RT Team Works. It stars Ravi Teja in the titular role alongside Rajisha Vijayan and Divyansha Kaushik along with Venu Thottempudi, Nassar, and Naresh, among others in key roles. The movie is scheduled to release on July 29. ## Stay tuned...

Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2' Producers To Apply Baahubali And KGF's Formula In Hindi?

Hyderabad, July 2 - There are some films that do not need any validation about how they perform at the box office, at least for the first few days. Allu Arjun-fronted "Pushpa - The Rule" is one of them which is guaranteed to take a huge opening at the box office, especially in the Hindi market. ## History is witness that two-part films have often ended up creating box office records. In recent years, Indian cinema has witnessed SS Rajamouli's "Baahubali" and Prashanth Neel-directed latest sensation "KGF" films setting records and paving the way for others to follow the path. ## Allu Arjun's "Pushpa" could be the next sensation and there is enough buzz to justify that. The first part of this Sukumar-directed, "Pushpa - The Rise" grossed over 350 crores worldwide, and has set the stage for the second part "Pushpa - The Rule" to take things to the next level. Producers and distributors of the film are very well aware of what the audience is expecting from this movie. ## The demand for the movie is already high and when it comes to the Hindi belt, it is sky-rocketing. Trade analysts are expecting "Pushpa - The Rule" to take the biggest opening ever in Hindi, so the movie is getting hot in the market. The distributors are ready to acquire the Hindi rights of the movie in mega sum but it looks like the producers are wanting more. ## Mythri Movie Makers teamed up with Manish Shah of Goldmines Films to distribute "Pushpa - The Rise" in the Hindi belt, in which it scored a massive approx. 110 crores net, and that too when the covid-19 cases were going up. Knowing the fact that "Pushpa 2" is a hot property in Hindi, Mythri is reportedly in talks with several studios and distributors for the release of the film. ## That is not all, according to reports, the producers of the film are looking to apply the formula of "Baahubali" and "KGF" in Hindi to get the best return. BB and KGF films were released in Hindi on commision basis through Hindi distributors as the producers were confident of the box office prospects of their films. There is a high possibility that Mythri can take a similar route by getting a distributor on board commission basis for the Hindi release. ## Interestingly, the production of the movie is yet to begin and the makers are already getting huge offers from Hindi distributors. The second part, which also stars Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil in prominent roles, is expected to go on floors by August this year and may release in the second half of 2023. ## Stay tuned...
