Pattudala story is all about a married couple who have strained relationship and how they deal with the mysterious happenings in their road trip. Arjun (Ajith) and Kayal (Trisha) love marriage hits a roadblock and on the verge of divorce, Arjun volunteers to drop Kayal at her mother's place.&nbsp;

However their road journey is full of surprises and where this leads to and how Rakshith (Arjun Sarja) and his wife Deepika (Regina Cassandra) are related form rest of the narration.&nbsp;

Ajith Kumar as usual with his style, grace and salt and pepper look tried to elevate the scenes with his screen presence. However there is nothing much to perform for him as the role didn't offer anything to show his acting talent with his extraordinary performance. He asusual came up subtle expressions and emotions.

Trisha looked good on the screen and she impresses with her looks. She was present all over the first half but suddenly she disappears from the entire second half mysteriously.&nbsp;

For all the screen presence, Ajith and Trisha got nothing much substantial to go on screen.&nbsp;

Arjun Sarja and Regina Cassandra also played important roles showing off their negative shades and they did tried their best. Others performed according to their roles.&nbsp;

<h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">Vidaamuyarchi Aka Pattudala: Technicians Review</h2>

Director Magizh Thirumeni tried to enthral movie lovers showing Ajith and Trisha in a action packed emotional adventurous road trip. But despite drawing inspiration from Hollywood film Breakdown, and trying to include strong emotions, he failed to make an impact.&nbsp;

All the scenes right from the start to the finish looked similar to the road trip stories and Pattudala/ Vidaamuyarchi offered nothing different. The first half looked incoherent with the emotional and love scenes turning monotonous and flashback episodes bereft of any excitement.&nbsp;

The entire first half is slow paced and except for the pre interval and interval sequences and this keeps interest in the second half. But the second half nose dives much to the disappointment of all.&nbsp;

Magizh Thirumeni's story turned out to be routine and offered nothing much to the viewers. With no story, the weak characterisations didn't help the cause any more. The second half turned out to be utter disappointment with missing action.

The director is responsible for the weak story, poor screenplay and missing elements that impacted his direction. The Climax turned out to be out of sync and lacks reality.&nbsp;

Much to the shock of all, Anirudh Ravichander failed to make an impact. His songs did not get registered while he failed to elevate the scenes with his background music. Om Prakash's cinematography is good and showed the scenes in a lavish and visually appealing manner. NB.Srikanth's editing left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes especially in the second half that tested the patience of the viewers. Production values are good.

Altogether, Pattudala happens to be a spineless, soul less action thriller. Despite the talented cast of Ajith, Trisha, Arjun Sarja and Regina Cassandra, director Magizh Thirumeni failed to come up with a powerful action packed emotional entertainer. His story offered nothing new and screenplay and direction didn't offer much to rave about. Even the fine-tuning of the script wouldn't have helped the final outcome. The weak characterisations played the spoilsport. Considering all these elements,&nbsp;Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Pattudala.&nbsp;

He is not only a talented director but also a well wisher who genuinely wants the best for me. I enjoy travelling with him and he often offers valuable advice on my career choices. When I first narrated the script to him Chandoo provided insightful inputs that helped shape the film commercial appeal.

That why I told Vasu that I was on board with the project only if Chandoo was at the helm.\r\nSpeaking about Sai Pallavi he said When you have a co star like her your performance would improve too he says.

The Pan India movie Liger starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Pandey turned out to be a disaster at the box office. However what interesting is that Ananya was initially hesitant to take on the heroine role in the film. According to her father Chunky Pandey Ananya felt uncomfortable with the opportunity and expressed her concerns about looking too young for the role. Chunky Pandey revealed that he convinced Ananya to take on the project citing its potential for success and the fame that would come with it.

After the release of Liger and its subsequent failure Chunky Pandey acknowledged that Ananya initial concerns were valid. He admitted that Ananya did seem too young for the role and that he had advised her to take on the project. However Chunky Pandey also revealed that he has since stopped giving Ananya advice on her career choices. Ananya now takes charge of selecting her own projects opting for roles that she is passionate about. This approach has allowed her to move forward in her career with confidence and autonomy.

The failure of Liger at the box office was a significant setback for the film cast and crew. Despite its ambitious Pan India release the movie failed to impress audiences and critics alike. The film poor reception has raised questions about the viability of Pan India releases and the challenges of appealing to diverse audiences across the country.

Despite the setback of Liger Ananya Pandey remains a talented and promising young actress. With her newfound approach to selecting her own projects Ananya is poised to make a comeback with a role that showcases her skills and versatility. Her upcoming films include much anticipated Kesari Chapter 2.&nbsp;

Top films distributors expose the ground reality. Fake collections are becoming a trend in various industries. The producers and the makers are continuing this strategy to please the fans of the heroes irrespective of the mouth talk and the genuine reviews.\r\nIf the film gets a positive talk and they come up with such poster people do not mind to an extent. But even for the mixed talk movies they are following this trend. Now shocking reports are coming as to whether the makers of NTR Devara released fake posters and then celebrated by partying in Dubai.\r\nThis because the recent Sankranti release Sankranthiki Vasthunnam got positive talk and grossed more than Rs.300crs. Dil Raju instead of celebrating the success with the cast and crew even celebrated the success with the distributors and exhibitors. During that time few distributors came out and said though the distributors are aware of the real collections they will not open out for the fear of losing out the next film. This shows that though the film is grossing over Rs.300crs the distributors are still in losses.\r\nNow many are saying that if distributors claim they reached break even then the film entered into the profit zone. Many films released and most of them claimed to gross Rs.500 or Rs.1000crs at the box office and LVR West Godavari distributor came with a shocker. He said distributors will be always at the receiving end and they cannot speak out their mind without any fear. Now people are saying even Pushpa The Rule must have left distributors in losses.&nbsp;
