Slowly, the reign of star heroines like Kajal, Tamannaah and Rakul Preet has ended and new heroines are taking their slots. Samantha is the only star actress who is still continuing her dominance by scoring consecutive hits. Otherwise, it is young actresses like Pooja Hegde and Rashmika Mandanna who are grabbing all the big offers.
Pooja was seen in homely roles in her first two films and neither of them was successful. Soon, she changed her gameplan and shed all the inhibitions to showcase her glamour and made a ravishing comeback with DJ. Since then, there was no looking back for her and she has acted with major star heroes like Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, and NTR.
But she is now getting tough competition from Rashmika. This Kannada beauty was also skeptical to do glamourous career earlier but looks like she has now put a check to all those conditions and accepting the roles which need glamour show. She is currently acting with Mahesh Babu, Nithiin and Allu Arjun. Thus, it has become a tough competition between these two beauties to claim the top heroine spot.

Vijay Deverakonda’s latest film Dear Comrade had hit the screens a couple of days ago and is getting a good response from the audience. Apart from being an intense love story, the film also deals with the sensitive issues of sexual harassment on women. Rashmika played the role of a cricketer who gets sexually harassed by the chief selector.
As the issue is relevant to society, it is important for people to know these issues. An NGO named Cheers Foundation, in collaboration with star Indian cricketer Mithali Raj, organized a special screening of Dear Comrade for girls of the foundation. Actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have also attended the screening and post-screening event.
Mithali thanked everyone who made the event a success. She tweeted, “There’s no better way to spend Saturday than by bringing a smile on the faces of these children from the Cheer Foundation. Thank you for making the ‘MithaliRaj initiative’ a possibility, @Andrew007UK @iamRashmika @TheDeverakonda @rama_rajeshwari @sumansaraf @zcws_ghmc @team_sai.”

Vijay Devarakonda and Rashmika Mandanna joined hands for an exciting project which is titled, Dear Comrade. The film is surely going to be an interesting one because of the names associated with it. The film released yesterday and opened to a positive talk from one and all. The makers are pretty much happy with the way the movie is performing at the box-office. The movie made 7.49 crores at the box-office in both the Telugu states.
The following is the breakdown of the film’s collections in different regions on the release day.
There are a few sensational films that happen very rarely and the makers and actors involved with those films get their due in the form of the following and huge accolades. We have, Vijay Deverakonda, a sensational actor who shot onto stardom with his cult film “Arjun Reddy” nationwide. He came into films without big support and he reached the stage to support someone. His choice of films are very interesting to watch and he knows what he is doing and what he is going to do. He is now coming to the theatres with “Dear Comrade”, directed by Bharat Kamma which has Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead. This film is produced by the blockbuster production house Mythri Movie Makers and Big Ben Productions. Let’s see how it works on us as it is releasing into theatres today.
Story
Bobby (Vijay Deverakonda) is a college student with communist ideology. He fights for the students and hates political parties. He falls in love with Lilly (Rashmika Mandanna), a woman cricketer. She always wanted him to be peaceful but his anger issues always make her fear. They both part their ways due to his behavior and Bobby goes on a soul searching a way to better himself and know himself. He returns to Hyderabad and gets to know some hard facts about Lilly and starts his journey as Comrade. What are the facts? What happened to Lilly? How Bobby fought for her?
Cast and Performance
Vijay Deverakonda has done a fabulous job. After Arjun Reddy, this role is a cakewalk for him as both are similar in many ways. Rashmika Mandanna is superb. She has made the biggest choice of her career for the best role of her career in the form of Lilly. Suhas is good. Sruthi Ramachandran is nice. All other actors have done superb work in their roles.
Writing Department
The story of Dear Comrade is superb but the screenplay is a bit lengthy and the dialogues are written well.
Technical Departments
Justin Prabhakaran makes his Telugu debut as music director and he has given a chartbuster album for Dear Comrade. He scored a fantastic background score for the movie. The cinematography by Sujith Sarang is superb and the visuals complement the happenings in the movie well. The editing by Sreejith Sarang is fine. The production values of Mythri movie makers is grand.

Verdict
Dear Comrade is the story of a “fight for the right of an individual”. This is an emotional journey of two characters who go through some disturbing incidents in their life. Director and writer Bharat Kamma has chosen a good story but he made it a lengthy one. Arjun Reddy, too is a lengthy movie but the length never bothered for that one but it bothers the audience here. The first half of the movie has set up the mood of the film and the second half explores the emotional aspect. The movie becomes very emotional towards the end with a message for the audience. This film has many similarities with Arjun Reddy, the way Vijay behaves, his anger issues and his love for the girl in his life and his friends, his no care attitude, etc. But what makes this movie different from that is the comrade and the emotional aspects of the movie. Most of the film runs on a very normal way which neither bores you nor entertains but the highs are very well placed in the screenplay. To be honest, Director Bharat Kamma stayed true to his story even though the comparisons with Arjun Reddy are inevitable. To sum up, Dear Comrade has its moments to entertain you this weekend.

Kannada beauty Rashmika Mandanna is currently one of the most popular actresses in the Telugu film industry. She is busy with the shoots of big films like Bheeshma and Sarileru Neekevvaru and her another film Dear Comrade is gearing up for the release on this Friday.
While she was on a promotional tour of Dear Comrade recently, Rashmika was asked about the qualities of her dream partner. The actress replied, “He should be a charmer and make me think about him all the time. He should also go mad for the romance. I don’t mind a bit age gap, but if he is not good with romance and love, it will disappoint me.”
Well, let’s see whether she will find any such partner in the coming days. Rashmika was earlier engaged to Kannada actor Rakshit Shetty but they got broke up due to some personal differences.

Andhra Pradesh is the only state that the team cover for the promotions and they filled that gap by hosting the pre-release event over there. This will be the first time Vijay hosting his movie event in Andhra Pradesh. A huge crowd is expected to gather for this event. Dear Comrade is directed by Bharat Kamma and bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers.
The much-awaited Comrade anthem from Dear Comrade was released a while ago. Right from the first hearing, the song ups the rage among the listeners. The track is outstanding with upbeat music scored by Justin Ranganathan. Lyrics written by Chaitanya Prasad are powerful and summed up with meaningful wordings.
Vijay Deverakonda also crooned some parts of the song. This is the second song sang by him, after What the life in Geeta Govindham. Vijay’s vocals helped the song to reach the next level. The Tamil version was sung by Vijay Sethupathi while Dulquer Salmaan crooned the Malayalam version.
The superhit music album is helping the movie to build decent expectations. Dear Comrade is directed by Bharat Kamma. It features Rashmika Mandanna as the heroine. It is slated to release in all the four South Indian languages on the 26th of July.

Young actress Sai Pallavi is known for non-glamorous and non-kissing policy in her films. Pallavi has got an immense fan following among the masses, without doing any skin show and bold scenes. But sometimes, her strict policy made her leave big projects and Vijay Deverakonda’s Dear Comrade is one of them.
Apparently, Sai Pallavi was the first choice for the heroine role in Dea Comrade. Though she loved the story, the Fidaa actress backed off when she heard that there will be kissing scenes in the movie. Thus, the makers had to replace her with Rashmika Mandanna, who shared impeccable onscreen chemistry with Vijay.
Sai Pallavi also lost the chance to act in Mani Ratnam’s Cheliyaa due to the very same reason. As of now, she might be getting a good role sans the romantic ones, but sometimes she might lose really good offers due to her non-kissing policy.

Kannada girl Rashmika Mandanna forayed into Tollywood with the film Chalo. But before that film, she acted in a blockbuster Kannada film called Kirrik Party which had Rakshit Shetty as the lead. Both Rakshit and Rashmika fallen for each other on the sets of Kirrik Party and they got engaged in 2017.
But things didn’t go well in between them and the duo broke up their engagement within a few months. Though Rashmika gave clarity on their separation, the media still keeps poking her on the same issue. The incident got repeated recently in Bengaluru during the press meet of Dear Comrade.
The media asked Rashmika about the reason of her separation with Rakshit. Soon, Vijay Deverakonda, who was beside her, interfered and said, “It is her personal issue. Let us limit this discussion to film only.” Rashmika was relaxed with Vijay’s reply. Dear Comrade is slated to release on July 26.

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna had superb onscreen chemistry in Geeta Govindham. They also shared a kissing scene in the film which plays a major part in the proceedings. After the blockbuster success of Geeta Govindham, the pair again teamed up for Dear Comrade.
Both of them were in Bangalore recently to promote the film. While speaking to the media over there, Vijay was asked about the liplocks in the film. Vijay instantly said that he doesn’t like the word liplock. He requested the people should term it as a kissing scene and not as liplock.
He said, “Actually, it is not Vijay kissing Rashmika. It is Bobby kissing Lilly. We are the only country where people forget that actors are playing characters on screen. Kissing is an emotion, like anger. When you cry, it is an emotion. In the same way, when you kiss, it is also an emotion.” Dear Comrade is slated for the worldwide release on 26th of July.

Kannada beauty Rashmika Mandanna has now got a star status in Tollywood rather than her home industry. After the success of Geeta Govindham, Rashmika has been bagging some interesting offers here. The biggest among them is Sarileru Neekevvaru, which stars Superstar Mahesh Babu in the lead role.
Initially, when Rashmika’s name came out as the probable, the heroine said that she didn’t sign the flick as she is busy with few other projects. By that time, she already had Nithiin’s Bheeshma and Siva Karthikeyan’s Tamil film. But apparently, Rashmika felt that her role doesn’t have any prominence in the Siva Karthikeyan’s film.
Thus, she decided to walk out it and checked with Anil Ravipudi whether the heroine slot is free or not. Thankfully, Anil didn’t finalize anyone yet and immediately Rashmika gave him the dates and signed the film. Anil is known for giving good roles for his heroines. Hopefully, he might have offered a prominent character to Rashmika in this film as well.

Mahesh Babu whose previous outing ‘Maharshi’ turned out to be a decent hit in the box office is currently enjoying a holiday with his family. After returning back to India, Superstar is going to start his next project.
It is known that Mahesh Babu has signed a project with ‘F2’ Fame Anil Ravipudi. The pre-production works are currently going on. If the buzz is to be believed, the regular shooting of the movie will go on roll very soon. The first schedule of the movie will take place in Kashmir. Based on the story, Mahesh Babu will be seen as a military officer in some scenes of the film. Anil Ravipudi is planning to wrap up those things first and then kick start the shooting of the remaining part. The makers are planning to complete the shooting of the movie as soon as possible and release the movie for Sankranti next year. Anil Ravipudi has already prepared a perfect schedule for the movie.
Rashmika Mandanna is playing the female lead in the movie. Vijaya Shanthi is going to mark her come back with this film being bankrolled by Dil Raju in association with Anil Sunkara.
Looks like Tollywood has got a new set of star heroines. Generally, we have a set of heroines who enjoy the stardom for a few years and then some newcomers replace them. Until last year, it was Samantha and Rakul Preet Singh, who enjoyed immense stardom in the Telugu film industry.
Now, they are being replaced by stalwarts Pooja Hegde and Rashmika Mandanna. After scoring failures with her first two films, Pooja has bounced back with Allu Arjun’s DJ. Since then, there was no looking back for her. She has acted alongside Bunny, NTR and Mahesh Babu and is currently acting alongside Prabahs as well.
On the flip side, Rashmika is ruling the industry with her luck. the actress has a 90% success rate in Telugu and she recently grabbed a chance of acting alongside Mahesh Babu. This proves that her next few films will be alongside big stars only. Apparently, these two beauties are also demanding a hefty remuneration. Thus, they are roosting over the stardom in Tollywood right now.
