Agnyaathavaasi Review

Pawan KalyanWhat is the film about?
The source of Agnyaathavaasi, a foreign language movie was a simple old-fashioned action saga in the corporate backdrop. In the Telugu version, we have a needless love triangle and forced comedy to give it a local touch. Trust us when we say, it sounds better reading it than watching.
How is Pawan Kalyan’s performance?
Pawan Kalyan is his usual self-full of energy. There is nothing else to write home about. The star also has another unique quality where he remains the sole highlight of the enterprise and Agnyaathavaasi is no different. The problem here is the repetitive mannerisms. Even small moments are predictable.
It is like watching a Ram Gopal Varma movie where all we get is tea sipping and intense stares captured at weird angles. Everything is so predictable, and repetitiveness makes it almost look embarrassing. Pawan Kalyan should take stock of his current physical appearance and do parts suitable to his image. Some scenes almost look like the star is spoofing his younger self.

Trivikram SrinivasDirection By Trivikram Srinivas?
The law of averages has finally caught director Trivikram Srinivas. He has been delivering some poor films back to back. It means he hasn’t learned from the past mistakes and it shows.
Plagiarism and inspirations aside, the movie is a mess right from the beginning. There are multiple issues here. Trivikram, the director, has got the best visuals in his career, but at the same time, Trivikram the writer has delivered his worst. Combine these two with a script that is all over the place we have an unmistakable mess.
The whole entertainment angle in the film, which involves a romantic track and comedy in the workspace is a total failure. There is nothing going on in either of them. They add to the length and provide endless boredom. The repetitiveness of Pawan Kalyan in comedy makes matter worse.
In the entire movie, we can hardly find few scenes worth mentioning. The rest is trash compared to the previous films in the combination or those of the director. Entire concentration is put on visuals rather than working on the right content. Only few action scenes and a couple of comedy punches work. The hero and heroine track is the worst. Overall, even the hardcore fans find it very difficult watching the film.

Keerthy SureshKeerthy Suresh and others?
Keerthy Suresh and Anu Emanuel have nothing sort of roles. They do look stylish and glamorous though. Rao Ramesh and Murali Sharma are likable in their parts. Aadi has a terribly written character and an equally disastrous usage in action. Sampath in brief sections in encouraging. Khusboo is alright. Boman Irani is apt. Raghu Babu and Vennela Kishore handle comedy. There are still more characters but not on making a mark level.
Music Director AnirudhMusic and other departments?
Music by Anirudh is good. It is the background score where he fails. It is disappointing, and there is not even single memorable musical piece. The cinematography by Manikandan is extraordinary. Editing is terrible.

Agnyaathavaasi Review 
Live Updates
Agnyaathavaasi-Review,-Agnyaathavaasi-Movie-Review-Ratings
Final Report:
Agnyaathavaasi is a one-man show by Pawan Kalyan. It has a weak villain track and lack of emotional connect. On the flip side, it has high production values. Watch out for our frank review soon.
– Surprisingly there is no Venkatesh guest appearance in the film, but you will see a thank you card in the titles.
– And yes, Agnyaathavaasi is inspired by Largo Winch, not just the main plot, major scenes (like climax pent house fight) also taken from the French film.
– The one-man show by Pawan Kalyan continues with comedy and bit of villainy track in between.
First half report:
The first half of Agnyaathavaasi is Okay with one-man show by Pawan Kalyan. Trivikram writing felt only during the interval bang, a lot depends on the second half. Stay tuned.
– “Gaali Vaaluga” has been shot in excellent locations.
– “Baitikochi Chuste” song has been shot on Pawan and Anu Emmanuel.. Good one on on-screen as well.
– 30 Minutes into the film, It looks like Agnyaathavaasi storyline is inspired from Largo Winch (Of course many changes to the characters). More About that by the time of Intermission.
– After a quick intro fight and “Dhaga Dhagamaney” song, the story rolls into the main plot on AB group.
– Agnyaathavaasi show started with a title card ‘Sincere thanks to Venkatesh’.

12. Bangaram$11K$3K
There is only one word to describe the craze that surrounds a Trivikram’s movie starring Pawan Kalyan and that word is ‘overwhelming’ craze. When ‘Agnyaathavaasi‘ is coming in their combination, it is going to be a storm at the box-office.
Looking at the way the advance bookings of the film are happening, the trade is expecting a sure tsunami. The domestic market it a clear field for the power star to make the most out of the festival season.
Trivikram being the overseas favourite and the combination, one of the most favoured ones, in the US, ‘Agnyaathavaasi‘ is expected to beat non-Baahubali highest premiere record of Chiranjeevi’s ‘Khaidi No: 150’ which grossed $1.2 million.
The first of its kind of huge release in 470 locations for a regular commercial movie and the premiere-shows to begin from the noon shows itself, one can expect an explosion of sorts as the number of theatres are bigger than ‘Baahubali, The Conclusion’.
No doubt, the number of screens is a proud factor for Pawan Kalyan fans but it is an equally high risk for the buyers as the movie has to open to positive talk and to keep the buyers in the break-even space, the movie has to collect about $4.4 million.
Coming to the music of the film scored by Anirudh Ravichandran, they aren’t sure for the masses. He didn’t bring any wow factor but they are alright as they can go well with the visuals.
The latest copy allegations, the French director’s interest in watching the movie and the controversy before the release will not have any impact on the movie, whatsoever. In fact, the controversy had given some additional publicity.
Is there anything else to tell? it’s rather wise to wait for a few more hours to know the range of the tsunami that ‘Agnyaathavaasi’ is going to take the entire festival season in its own stride. It’s time you wait for our genuine Agnyaathavaasi review. We’ll be back, very soon. Stay tuned.

Reliance Jio Says This Is The State With The Highest Number Of Subscribers

Reliance Industries declared its quarterly results just last week and Reliance Jio made its numbers public for the first time. With a loss of 2.25 crore, this is just the beginning of a surge in profit since Jio Prime plans started this month.

Another key takeaway from the report was the state breakup of the number of Reliance Jio subscribers. According to the company, the most users come from the state of Andhra Pradesh (9.4 million), followed by Tamil Nadu and Gujarat (8.1 million each).
Maharashtra and Delhi take the next position with around 7.7 millions subscribers each. As for the lowest number of users, the entire North East of India has just about 0.9 million users.
inKhabar
inKhabar
With more than 100 million subscribers on board, the data usage has gone off the charts. The company claims its users consume around 110 crore GB of 4G data a month, which is 5 times the industry standard.
The new Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan IPL offer from Reliance Jio will give you 1GB data per day and unlimited calling for 84 days at just Rs 309!
Reliance Jio News
Reliance Jio News
This is quite similar to the Summer Surprise Offer and the amount is close to the earlier Rs 303 for the same plan. However, this will give you 84 days of usage compared to 4 months with the earlier plan. 
Coming to the more premium plan, JioPrime customers can get 2GB/day and unlimited calling at a price of Rs 509 for 84 days. Non-Jio users can get the plan at Rs 549 and new customers at a price of Rs 608.

IPL 2017: Suresh Raina rises to the occasion, helps Gujarat Lions beat Kolkata Knight Riders

IPL 2017: Suresh Raina rises to the occasion, helps Gujarat Lions beat Kolkata Knight Riders

Suresh Raina hits 84 off 46 balls to help Gujarat Lions win for second time in this IPL after beating Kolkata by 4 wickets.


As Gautam Gambhir walked backed to the pavillion, his face wore a tense look. Rain had set in in Kolkata and it was something that Gambhir was not hoping for. The Kolkata Knight Riders captain knew that Gujarat Lions were ahead on the Duckworth-Lewis method. And that was not good for his team. After five overs in their chase, Gujarat were 62 for the loss of one wicket and 21 runs ahead of the D/L method, chasing 188 against Kolkata.
But play resumed shortly after and Kolkata picked up four Gujarat wickets in quick time to reduce them to 122 for the loss of five wickets. Hoping they can still pull it back, Gambhir kept up the pressure up mixing up Umesh Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav and Sunil Narine in the bowling attack.
While the three bowlers did control the run flow, they could not control Suresh Raina, who single-handedly set up a four-wicket win for Gujarat at the Eden Gardens. The Gujarat captain played a 84-run innings off just 46 balls and made sure of his team’s second victory of the season.

Gujarat were on Raina never looked under pressure and attacked every KKR bowler. His knock consisted of nine fours and four sixes. By the time he was dismissed by Kuldeep Yadav in the 18th over, caught at point, his team needed only eight runs to win.
Ravindra Jadeja, who finished with 19 runs, smashed a four off the second ball of the 19th over to finish the game. James Faulkner was the other unbeaten batsman.
As they came out to chase, Gujarat sent Aaron Finch and Brendon McCullum as the openers and the former began the innings with a flurry of boundaries. He had hit four fours and two sixes to take Gujarat to 40 off the first three overs but a short ball from Nathan Coulter-Nile ended his stay. He played a hook straight to Manish Pandey at fine-leg.
But then McCullum took over and attacked the bowlers. Just when he got going, rain interrupted play. After the break, he was dismissed for 33 while Dinesh Karthik also fell shortly after.
Kolkata were making a comeback into the game and it got better as Kuldeep had Ishan Kishan caught at deep square-leg. But Jadeja and Raina did not let any bowler dominate after that and made quick runs.
It was not a good day for Kolkata bowlers as Narine was hit for 42 runs off his four overs while Coulter-Nile, who picked up two wickets, gave 41 runs in 3.2 overs. Kuldeep also gave 33 runs for his two wickets. Umesh went for 17 runs off two overs while Shakib Al Hasan was hit for 31 runs off three overs.
Asked to bat first, Kolkata were off to a flying start as Narine, who opened once again, smoke 42 off just 16 balls. He scored all his runs through boundaries; nine fours and a six.
But the run-rate fell once he was dismissed by Raina. Gambhir and Robin Uthappa shared a 69-run stand for the third wicket before the captain was dismissed by Faulkner. Uthappa scored a half-century but was dismissed for 72 by Praveen Kumar.
The final four overs could only get 38 runs for Kolkata as they lost wickets and momentum at death. For Gujarat, Praveen, Faulkner, Basil Thampi and Raina picked up a wicket each.

Jio extends prime benefits to non-members


While Jio has begun charging consumers for data, keeping voice free, rival telcos have reiterated their view that Jio’s tariffs are unsustainable in the long run.
NEW DELHI: Reliance Jio Infocomm has extended the benefits of its Prime membership plan to non-members at a much lower data usage rate per month across all plans as the Mukesh Ambani company begins charging consumers after six months of doling out freebies.

While prepaid users can choose from daily, monthly and year-long plans, ranging from Rs 19 to Rs 9,999, post-paid users have three plans atRs 303, Rs 499 and Rs 999. In both categories, users can opt for boosters when they exhaust their high-speed data limits.

From April 1 to March 31, 2018, Jio’s current users and those who come on board between March 1 and March 31 will continue to get 1 GB of data a day plus all of Jio’s apps for Rs 303 a month and a one-time charge of Rs 99.

The benefits differ for Prime and non-Prime members, the former being Jio subscribers who opt for Prime membership by paying a one-time charge of Rs 99 by March 31, 2017. The telco has offered booster plans starting at Rs 51 per GB to Rs 301for 10 GB for all users, with the exception of one plan of 100 MB at Rs 11 for prepaid users.
While Jio has begun charging consumers for data, keeping voice free, rival telcos have reiterated their view that Jio’s tariffs are unsustainable in the long run. Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal said Jio’s tariffs were very aggressively priced, but “unsustainable for the industry.” Jio’s move also signals the return of the rate war as Mittal said Airtel will respond and come up with more packages. 
Industry experts said the idea behind offering Prime membership was to convert its 100 million users amassed over 170 days into paying subscribers, especially after it reached the milestone with the lure of free voice and data, coupled with access to Jio apps. 

The difference between Prime and non-Prime memberships widens for longer validity periods, effectively offering non-members data at higher prices.

For instance, in the Rs 303 post-paid plan, a Prime member gets unlimited data usage for 28 days, with 4G data usage of 30 GB, and from there on 1GB data per day as per fair usage policy, besides free voice calls to all networks. However, a non-prime member gets only 2.5 GB 4G data for 28 days. The difference is starker for prepaid Prime users who will get 2 GB less than their post-paid counterparts at the same tariff level for the same duration, with same fair use policy terms and free calls.
