ReviewDirector Gireesaaya borrows scenes from old blockbusters like ‘Manasantha Nuvve’, ‘Love Story’ and others familiar to Telugu audiences, and uses them as a template to evoke the same emotions instead of writing an original story.Balakrishna Ganeshan‘Family entertainers’ are one of the most reliable genres in the Telugu film industry that guarantee success, at least to some extent. Betting on this, director Gireesaaya, who is also credited with the story and screenplay, has churned out Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga. The film stars actors Vaisshnav Tej and Ketika Sharma in the lead roles. The story of the film was revealed in the trailer itself. Rishi (Vaisshnav Tej) and Radha (Ketika Sharma) love each other but don’t talk to each other. They are neighbours, and share the same birthday including the time of birth. Their fathers are best friends. They were destined to be together – a little too filmy? Well, let’s just go with it.

ReviewThis is not a bad film but what's the point of making a frame by frame remake of the original which had a phenomenal run?Sowmya RajendranReviewing Adithya Varma, the remake of the Telugu blockbuster Arjun Reddy, makes one feel like Sisyphus from the Greek myth who was condemned to repeat his actions day after day. There was Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh, the trailer of Adithya Varma directed by Bala and now we have Adithya Varma directed by Gireesaaya - it's enough to make one stare out of the window and ask the existential question, 'Is there a point to this?' If you've just returned from an expedition to the moon and have no idea about the story of Arjun Reddy or Kabir Singh (how I envy you!), it is about an angry, entitled, medical student on a path to self-destruction. In this version, it is Dhruv Vikram playing the hero Adithya Varma,...

KollywoodThe 'Arjun Reddy' Tamil remake starring Dhruv Vikram will hit the screens on November 8.Tnm StaffThe official trailer of Adithya Varma, the Tamil remake of the Telugu hit Arjun Reddy, was released on Tuesday. Arjun Reddy as well as the Hindi remake Kabir Singh were heavily criticised for glorifying toxic masculinity and violence against women. However, the Tamil version appears to be a faithful remake of the original. Considering the box-office success of the previous films, despite their blatant misogyny, this isn't surprising. The film will hit the screens on November 8. Starring Dhruv Vikram, Banita Sandhu and Priya Anand in important roles, the film has been directed by Gireesaaya, an associate of Sandeep Vanga (who infamously justified the violence in his film as "love"), the director of Arjun Reddy. The trailer begins with a disciplinary hearing and then goes back to tell the story of the angry doctor,...
