Sing Geetham 🎶 Some films are made to chase the box office. A rare few are made to feed the soul. This one belongs firmly to the second kind, and I walked out feeling genuinely refreshed. At 94, Singeetam Srinivasa Rao garu is the oldest working director in Indian cinema. But forget the age for a second. This is the mind that gave us Pushpaka Vimana, a fully silent film that moved a nation without a single line of dialogue. The man who made Aditya 369, our very first time travel film, long before anyone here dared dream of sci fi. Bhairava Dweepam, a fantasy landmark. Michael Madana Kama Rajan and Apoorva Sagodharargal with Kamal Haasan. Mayuri, which swept 14 Nandi Awards. A genuine visionary. Now, with his 61st film (produced by Nag Ashwin), he returns after more than a decade. Set in the fictional gold mining village of Kuberapuram, it is a musical fantasy where the story is literally sung, carrying a quiet but powerful message about our environment. What touched me most was the simplicity. No noise, no forced elevation, no mass gimmicks. Just a clean, heartfelt story told the way only a master can. In a season crowded with so called Pan India spectacles, this felt like a breath of fresh air. Every craft serves the vision, and a special salute to Devi Sri Prasad. For a film built on sung conversations, the music has to carry everything, and DSP delivers something truly soulful. Honest bit. The first half feels a little slow, and the concept starts to tire by the interval. The idea sparkles when it opens, but somewhere in the second half I felt a slight disconnect. A tighter first half would have let it soar. But here is the truth. When it comes to a legend like Singeetam Srinivasa Rao garu, who are we to review his work. We simply surrender to it. Sing Geetham is his dream on screen, and we are lucky to witness it. Go in with an open heart. 🙏 #SingGeetham #SingeetamSrinivasaRao #DSP @nagashwin7 @ThisIsDSP @VyjayanthiFilms

🎬 PEDDI REVIEW ⭐ 2.75/5 The biggest plus of Peddi is Ram Charan. The biggest minus of Peddi is also Ram Charan. Before the review, let me tell you a small story. There's a cricketer whose team really needs him. So he works hard — changes his body, gives his heart to the game, and on match day he plays a brilliant century. But the team still loses. Why? He didn't fail. But cricket is a team game. One man's century can't win the match if the bowlers don't do their job. Peddi is exactly that story. Charan gives 100%, sometimes more. But the whole film orbits him alone. Only two other characters get room to breathe; the rest are furniture around the star. In that imbalance, the film stops telling a story and becomes a showcase — less "here is Peddi," more "see how hard Charan worked to become Peddi." You can admire effort, but you can't connect to it. Connection comes from the character, not the actor's hard work. The screenplay hurts more — scenes sit disconnected, so the emotion keeps snapping. Appalasoori (Jagapathi Babu) lands a powerful pre-climax beat, but by the second half, where it's needed most, the film has let it evaporate. Setup there, connection gone. A character-design flaw too: you're sold a sportsman meant to inspire today's youth — then shown him kissing a girl without consent. That one beat fractures the connection. Inspiration and that act don't sit in the same man, and the audience feels the seam. THE VERDICT, PLAINLY Peddi isn't a bad film. But it's not what we expected from Charan Buchi Babu Sana. The story has ₹1000cr potential — the raw material is that good. The problem is the cooking. The dish has taste, but you leave unsatisfied. A one-time watch, and the best reason to make it is Charan's performance. PERFORMANCES Appalasoori — Jagapathi Babu: maybe a career best. Thirty years chasing a railway halt for a village not even on the map — he makes the ache real. One doubt: was the makeover even needed? The impact's in the actor, not the look. A few of his scenes feel trimmed too. Gournaidu — Shiva Rajkumar: a real highlight. He's wonderful, and I enjoyed every scene. A character the director clearly designed with care and purpose — one of the few where writing and performance pull the same way. Achiyamma — Janhvi Kapoor: the writing's weakest point. A local leader's daughter in a 1990s village, yet handed a public exposing scene that fits neither the world nor the woman. Once belief breaks, the romance floats away. Janhvi's sincere; the role was never anchored. Everyone else: present and competent — but no real impact. They occupy the frame without leaving a mark. TECHNICAL 🎵 AR Rahman — songs good, BGM does real work and holds the film when the screenplay slips. 🎥 Rathnavelu — clean frames, the 90s rural look captured well. 🖥️ VFX — weak. Feels ~80% green screen and sets. You don't need a trained eye to catch it. For this budget, a real letdown. Length: ~15 minutes could go. The political campaign track adds nothing and doesn't even close properly — trim it, give the space to Appalasoori. Climax (no spoilers): could've been written better. No issue with Charan, only the writing. The ending the story deserved and the one it got aren't the same. Direction — Buchi Babu Sana: vision, ambition and a strong story foundation are all there, but the execution doesn't match. Scenes drift, the wrong threads get trimmed, the scale slips from his grip. The Uppena director couldn't quite hold Peddi together. FINAL WORD Want a powerhouse Ram Charan performance? Go, enjoy it. I enjoyed it in bits — I love sports dramas. But keep expectations at zero. Walk in expecting a disaster, and you'll come out having enjoyed the parts that work. ⭐ 2.75/5 #Peddi #PeddiReview #RamCharan #BuchiBabuSana #JanhviKapoor #ShivaRajkumar #JagapathiBabu #ARRahman #Tollywood #PeddiMovie

Respectful but honest feedback. @svembu @Zoho I'm a consultant. My client has 11 branches across India. I recommended Zoho. The process so far: 3 demos. 3 different teams (Books → Commerce → ERP). Each one knows only their slice. The ERP rep promised a requirements email after the demo. It never came. I sent the requirements myself. 24 hours. Zero acknowledgment. When I went back to my client, his exact words: "I tried Zoho 3 years ago. Failed because Zoho team couldn't understand my requirements." 3 years apart. Identical experience. The Zoho product is genuinely best-in-class. But your sales architecture is letting it down. Customers buying integrated solutions need integrated sellers, not 3 disconnected product teams. This is fixable. Hoping someone reads this and acts. Still waiting. #Zoho #ZohoERP #IndianSaaS

Definitely something is not right with the TTD online portal. Virtual Queue - technical issue. Back to virtual Queue. Again technical issue. Later: no tickets. I tried multiple times and finally ended up not booking even one ticket 🥲 Everyone in my friends and family circle who tried faced the same issue. I don't know who is booking Seva tickets and getting them confirmed; they must be the luckiest persons. Totally disappointed 😤 Tried almost more than 40min Namo Venkateshaya 🙏 #TTD @naralokesh @ncbn @TTDevasthanams

Happy Birthday Tarak anna 🎂🐅 మీ birthday ki best gift ఇచ్చారు makers, #DragonGlimpse తో. రెండుసార్లు చూసేశా. ప్రశాంత్ నీల్ ఇప్పుడు ఏం చేశాడో, అది cinema కి మించి ఎందుకు matter అవుతుందో చెప్తా. అన్ని major characters introduce చేశాడు, geopolitical plot మొత్తం పెట్టేశాడు (1967, opium trade, Afghan Trading Co vs Golden Trading Co), మరియు #JrNTR Luger character ని biblical narration తో elevate చేశాడు. "God created nature, animals, humans, and finally the devil." ఆ తర్వాత Tarak ki hero line ఇచ్చాడు: "దేవుడు నాకో వరమిచ్చాడు. Trigger నొక్కగానే మరిచిపోవడం." Pattern చూడండి? KGF, Salaar లో అదే recipe: 1. Period setting commodity backdrop 2. Borrowed mythology తో larger-than-life elevation 3. Lean physicality restrained dialogue maximum atmosphere Craft brilliant గా ఉంది. కానీ risk ఏంటంటే, repetition. Indian cinema ఇప్పుడు ఒక fascinating crossroads లో ఉంది. ఒక formula తో signature build చేసిన directors ని, ఇప్పుడు అదే formula break చేయగలరా అని అడుగుతోంది. నీల్ world-class IP build చేశాడు. ఇప్పుడు world-class STORY build చేయగలడని prove చేయాలి. @tarak9999 acting range కి తగ్గ scope ఇవ్వాలని హోప్. Elevation blocks మాత్రమే కాదు. Tarak anna, నీ fans నీ kosam ఎన్ని సినిమాలైనా చూస్తాం. కానీ ప్రతీ సినిమా లో నీ acting ki proud feel అయ్యేలా చేయండి. RRR లో, Devara లో, Janatha Garage లో చూపించినట్టు. Dragon లో కూడా. 🐅 ఈ year మీకు health, happiness, మరియు మీ talent ki తగ్గ scripts ఇవ్వాలని కోరుకుంటున్నా. Tigers అందరం మీ వెనుక ఉన్నాం, ఎప్పటిలాగే. 🙏 June 2027 లో తెలుస్తుంది. #HBDManOfMassesNTR #NTRNeel #Dragon
