Vijay Deverakonda Presents Rs.1 Crore To 100 Families After Kushi Success
Actor Vijay Deverakonda shared his happiness with the fans who made the movie “Kushi” a huge success. A total of 100 lucky families selected to share Kushi’s happiness were given cheques worth Rs 1 lakh. The families receiving these cheques hugged Vijay in excitement.
Vijay, director Shiva Nirvana, producers Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar of Myth Movie Makers participated in the event held in Hyderabad.
Vijay Devarakonda said, “I want to do many good programs for you who are showing me so much love. Because I too once thought that it would be nice if someone helped us like this. During my study days, all my friends went on vacation, I used to stay at home because I didn’t want to bother my parents by asking for money. Then I used to think how my friends are enjoying the tour. It would have been nice if someone could have given us some money at the time when we were struggling to pay the engineering fees of my brother. But I didn’t want to ask anyone.”
He went on to say, “I have crossed all that and reached this level today with you all as a family. Being able to help you today is my personal wish. After receiving the money, if you feel a little happy and feel less stressed, that will satisfy me. I am happy if this little help is useful for you. Don’t thank me. I’m Just sharing my love with you. Last time, few youngsters were sent on a tour. Since the announcement of this program, more than 50,000 applications have been received. But we can only do it for 100 people. I will continue to support you as long as I do films. Thank you for the love you show me.”
On this occasion producer Y Ravi Shankar said, “You know how happy the success of the movie Kushi has made us all. The film has become so successful because of your support. We are happy that Vijay has taken this initiative to share our happiness with you. Our production is in such a good position because of the love given by the audience and fans. It is a good concept of Vijay to giving back to them. I hope the rest of the industry will follow same.”
Producer Naveen Yerneni said – “Our Kushi has become a super hit with gross collections exceeding Rs 100 crore. We thank the audience and fans for such a good success. I am happy that Vijay started with our movie to try to help 100 people. This is a step to encourage everyone to do such good deeds.”
Director Shiva Nirvana said – “In these two years that I travelled with Vijay, the fans showed me some of the love they showed to him. Thanks to the fans for making Kushi such a huge success. I am happy that Vijay is starting an effort to share our love with 100 of you through my film. They selected not only from Telugu states but also from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and South States. Because our movie got good response from all places in South. There is one thing that I have been impressed with from Vijay. Success or failure, Vijay will be the same. He stands by his word. In any case, Vijay’s effort is not flawed. We sincerely hope that this Rs 1 lakh will serve your needs and bring happiness to all of you.”

Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency To Finally Hit Theatres In 2025, New Release Date Announced For 4th Time
It will indeed be a happy new year for actress Kangana Ranaut as her much-hyped film, Emergency, will finally see the light of the day in 2025. After several setbacks, delays and controversies, the film is now all set to hit the silver screens on January 17, 2025.
Kangana took to her social media handles on Monday to announce the new release date of Emergency. “17th January 2025 – The epic saga of the nation’s most powerful woman and the moment that altered India’s destiny. #Emergency – Unveils Only in cinemas on 17.01.2025! (sic),” she wrote.
In the poster, Kangana can be seen acing the ‘Indira Gandhi look’, along with Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talapde, Vishak Nair and Milind Soman. While Kher will be seen essaying the role of JP Narayan, Shreyas will play Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Vishak Nair grabbed eyeballs as Sanjay Gandhi in the trailer, and Milind Soman will play Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in the upcoming film.
This is the fourth time that the makers have announced a release date for Emergency. The film was first supposed to release in November 2023, but it was then pushed to June 2024. The film was once again postponed to September 6, 2024, however, just days before the D-day, the Censor Board refused to grant the film a valid certificate.
Several Sikh bodies objected to certain incidents shown in Emergency and moved court, stating that the film will show their community in a negative light. Taking in cognizance their plea, the CBFC did not give the censor certificate to Emergency, forcing the makers to push the film indefinitely.
It is to be noted that Emergency is even more special for Kangana as it marks her debut as a director. The film also stars Mahima Chaudhry, Satish Kaushik, and others in key roles.

Singham Again Movie Review: Ajay Devgn, Rohit Shetty’s ‘High-Voltage’ Ramayana Is Explosively Entertaining!
Title: Singham Again
Director: Rohit Shetty
Cast: Ajay Devgn, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Jackie Shroff, Akshay Kumar and Shweta Tiwari.
Where: In cinemas
Rating: 3 stars
Positioned and postured as a full-blown action entertainer to be enjoyed with your family, Rohit Shetty brings Ajay Devgn’s Bajirao Singham back to narrate the modern day Ramayana, replete with a bunch of B-town stars to do justice to the epic saga that shows the ultimate victory of good over evil. So, right from Sita-haran (Sita’s abduction) to Jatayu’s sacrifice to Lanka-dahan, every chapter must unfold with cinematic liberty and melodrama that must serve justice to every key situation of the epic battle.
And truth be stated, we get the events, and we even cheer for every sequence and subtext that the film mounts to showcase the Ram Vs Ravan battle. Right from the unconditional love of Laxman and Bharat to the ultimate loyalty of Hanuman to Sita’s cruel abduction– every character has a context placement and contemplation to ruminate over. But hang on a sec! Who is Deepika placed as in this tale? She is neither Shabri, Shurpanakha or Mandodri. Her character seems as misfit and misplaced as her poor acting and her wobbly (read: horribly put on and off-putting) accent!
While the rest of the star cast plays to the gallery amidst the ear-splitting background score, Deepika sticks out like a sore thumb as the lady Singham.
At 2 hours and 24 minutes, Shetty unleashes the mega star-power of his film, and how! From Simmba (Ranveer Singh) to Sooryavanshi (Akshay Kumar), everybody jumps in to offer their bit to ensure that the audience remains engaged and entertained. Equally engaging and pleasant are the backdrops against which the makers have set the pieces of the narrative. Every locale is either scenic, handsomely mounted or ‘explosive’ with the trademark sign of Shetty pasted all over.
The story is simple and straight to state the obvious. Bajirao Singham nabs a notorious terrorist (Jackie Shroff) and his arrest triggers another baddie (Arjun Kapoor) to abduct Singham’ wife (Kareena Kapoor Khan). So, what’s the connection between these two events, you may wonder! You will have to watch the film to find out the link, as Shetty gives you a backstory that sets the current tale rolling.
What’s remarkable is how the makers have designed the entry of each character, and how the sequences have been spaced out to do justice to every character that makes their presence felt. Nobody disappears or gets diluted in terms of the presence and storytelling in the name of cinematic liberty. Add to it Ranveer Singh’s over the top hysteria, Akshay Kumar’s reassuring screen-presence and Tiger Shroff’s crisp, but impactful action chops, and you would know how Shetty elevates the film as a sheer entertainer worthy of all the whistles and cheers.
The sequence where Ranveer sets Arjun Kapoor’s territory on fire or when Shetty brings Chulbul Pandey (Salman Khan) to spice up the already high-voltage drama is incredible!
For a strory where you know how everything is going to unfold and conclude like, Shetty brings his A game to the table to showcase his strength –which is action and comedy–and dare we say, he doesn’t miss a single beat. While some sequences look stretched out beyond their capacities, and some could easily have been edited out, all in all one enjoys this ‘copverse’ studded with bharpoor dialoguebaazi and seemingly never ending ‘action’.
