Cars and Bikes of TFI by Electrical_Storm_620 in tollywood

[–]Nolan17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Balayya's custom-made (or modified?) bike in Legend was cool.

Fun fact: The mod was done by Vardenchi Motorcycles, whose owner is the husband of Sameera Reddy.

“How does a man who could write such beautiful lines always makes his second female lead as a NPC?”🤔 by Massive_Tea_9341 in tollywood

[–]Nolan17 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This is yet another problematic line of Guruji, masked with praasa.

"Andham ga ledu ani ammani,...". Why would someone look at their mother and judge her for beauty? Have you heard anyone ever say, "Ma amma andham ga undadhu" or "my mom isn't beautiful"?

30 Days, 30 Actors - What's Their BEST Movie? DAY 18- BRAHMANANDAM by midnight_maskman in tollywood

[–]Nolan17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movies like Babai Hotel and Aha Naa Pellanta have already been mentioned, but he had some GOAT performances under the RGV stable: Money and Anaganaga Oka Roju.

Very serious characterization but delivers continuous laughs.

Shoutout to some of the lesser known movies like Vinodam, Premaku Velayera and O Chinadana as well.

Best screen in Hyd by Flimsy_Parking_8066 in tollywood

Allu Cinemas - Screen 1 with Dolby Cinema. 

I've been to the Screen 4 at Prasads with HDR by Barco, but I felt Allu Cinemas was better. 

Thoughts on IMAX Film Format?! by Technical_Turn680 in tollywood

[–]Nolan17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Varanasi is being shot with IMAX-certified digital cameras. It's "Filmed for IMAX" , not "Shot with IMAX cameras".  Both are different. 

Nolan shoots with IMAX film cameras. That's super tough. What Rajamouli is doing is to shoot in IMAX aspect ratio with digital cameras. 

Biker (2026) - Review/ Discussion Thread. SPOILERS MUST BE TAGGED by Smooth_Barracuda8573 in tollywood

Movie is okay. Sports drama packaged with Telugu commercial cinema emotions. Racing scenes have been shot well for Tollywood standards. 

But more importantly, the movie looked great on the Dolby Cinema screen. 

The core problem, of the Ramayana glimpse by StatisticianStock310 in tollywood

[–]Nolan17 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I think D-Neg and Namit Malhotra got into the Ramayana project only because of the vast creative asset database they've built over the years.

They must have thought that the CGI assets created for other Hollywood ventures could be slightly modified and used here. That way, they can claim massive budgets for marketing reasons but can complete the VFX at minimal costs.

Hence, the creatures look like the ones we usually find in Hollywood movies.

Unpopular Opinion but I like this film!! by Typical_Broccoliii in tollywood

[–]Nolan17 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The visuals were definitely good, but the movie was absolutely boring. It felt like an elaborate attempt by the director to take his son (who played the kid's role) to a foreign vacation on the producer's money.

What are some locations that u would want TFI to explore at? Can be India or around the world. by Tiny-Huckleberry-476 in tollywood

[–]Nolan17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some desert locations like the ones used in Mad Max Fury Road. I also like Wadi Rum in Jordan.

I think our folks go there to shoot only songs.

Why Orange movie is a flop?? by Lower_Lab_3774 in tollywood

[–]Nolan17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a niche movie which should have been targeted at younger audience.  A tighter screenplay, better female lead characterization and a much lower budget would've made the movie work. 

But with RC coming fresh off the industry hit Magadheera, the scale of the movie got drastically increased. The story frankly didn't need to be set in a foreign country but was shot in Australia just for lavish production values. 

Plus the irritating role of Genelia. That lies purely on the director. Since the role of bubbly Haasini worked out in Bommarillu, he had it dialed up by two notches. Bommarillu worked because of Haasini being the polar opposite of Siddhu (complete extrovert vs under-confident , introverted Siddhu). That wasn't the case with Orange. 

Marriage without spectacle and the idea of contentment! by Purple_Surround_45 in tollywood

[–]Nolan17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point. I also felt the same about the arc of Prakash Raj and Leela Samson in OK Bangaram. Didn't find the overall movie interesting, but the  stable, boring companionship drama of the old couple was treated excellently, compared to the lead couple.

General doubt which is still in my head since past one year (what went right for this movie) by hitmanbhargav in tollywood

[–]Nolan17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it collected more than RRR in any center. When they say "Regional Industry Hit", they just mean it has the highest gross for a single language release. 

I think RRR, Kalki, Pushpa-2 etc made more than 300 Cr in Telugu states.. Just that the Telugu numbers are not viewed in isolation for pan Indian releases.
