Tollywood Kaburlu

Andariki Namaskaram! In our first OFFICIAL podcast collaboration, we have Bogus Noog from ThyGap Telugu joining us today. 

We talked about the difference in viewing experience of OTT vs Theaters and touched upon the business of cinema in present state as well as the ongoing strike in TFI. 

Unfortunately didn't have time to talk about screenwriting even though it's mentioned but we will definitely touch upon it in a future episode.   

Chala controversies vunnayi Tollywood lo but we tried to pick the most interesting and most known controversies: Topics include Sr. NTR garu vs Krishna garu in making Alluri Seetha Rama Raju, Balayya- Bellamkonda Suresh incident, Narasimhudu producer Hussain Sagar incident and scandal, Arjun piracy incident, Allu Arjun's Cheppanu Brother, 2017 Prostitutions and Drugs Case in USA, Bandla Ganesh and Sachin Joshi, DJ Movie Industry Hit, Sri Reddy Me Too in 2018, Sarileru vs Ala Vaikuntapurammulo Collections, Mahesh Babu and John Abraham Bollywood vs South comments, and Naresh Pavitra Lokesh news. 

Venky and Sreenu Vaitla movie ante poonakallu ravali gaani theda kottakudadhu. Sreenu Vaitla garu oka interview lo chepparu Namo Venkatesa is an experimental film ani. I agree but the creative decisions and content against it's favor. Anyhow I love this film and always will but just oka weird feeling isthadi choostunantha sepu. Daani gurunche manam mataladam. I know episode konchem short gaa vundi but hope you enjoy as always! 

Andariki Namaskaram. Eeroju inko lengthy episode chesam but hope you all enjoy it. Trends anedi prapancham and film industry ki chala common. PK garu cheppinattu: Nenu trend follow avanu, nenu trend set chestha. 

Ok point ki vodham, we talked about Telugu movie trends and templates over the years. Movies covered are Aditya 369, Preminchukundam Raa, Samarasimha Reddy, Indra, Kalisundam Raa, Okkadu, Gudumba Shankar, Sreenu Vaitla bakra comedy, Spoof comedy trends, and most recently the Pan India movie trends. 

Enjoy!

Sorry for being out of action last week but I had to speak up about this. If you love Tollywood, hope you agree with all the points I brought up because cinema brathakali and Telugu cinema lo inka manchi cinemalu teeyali and ravali. But the way they're headed it might only get worse from here. Induke memu collections antha follow avtham. Flop ayithe malli teeyaru, kaani hit ayithe teestune vuntaru. But mainly content is the king. Audience has updated themselves but makers have not. It's high time things need to change. 

Andariki Namaskaram, consistency break chesanu ani please forgive me. 

Started a new job unfortunately so just trying to manage time to best of ability. Watched a few movies in recent years and decided to review them all and give my thoughts on them. Enjoy. 

These are spoiler filled reviews so if you haven't already watched them, watch them first and come back :)

Andariki Namaskaram! Continuing with our final guest episode for the time being, today we have the king Pranav Gara on the show today. 

In this episode we talked about our favorite director Meher Ramesh and how his brand of movies gave birth to Meherism, thoughts on Kantri, Billa, Shakthi, and Shadow and concluded by talking about our expectations for Bhola Shankar and where we see the future of Telugu cinema headed.

Andariki Namaskaram! Today we finally have our first ever guest Smarani Komanduri on Tollywood Kaburlu. She's a freelance writer based in Michigan and after reading one of her articles about a fellow Telugu podcast Thygap, I reached out and felt she would be a perfect guest to talk about our similar experiences. 

We talked about how we get started with Telugu cinema living in America, whether films are an accurate representation of a culture or society, favorite Telugu movies, and our opinions and thoughts on Pan India movies along with the sensational comments of John Abraham and Mahesh Babu about regional and Bollywood cinema. 

Host and athidhi convenience kosam ee episode English lo cheyadam jarigindi so manninchandi. 

In this episode I discuss my 10 favorite Telugu movies of all time. The list was not big enough so I had to include a +1 so it came out to 11. Any guesses what they could potentially be? Listen to today's episode to find out.
