Bus Stop’ is the second film of director Maruthi, who came up after his super hit small film ‘Ee Rojullo’. Many thought that he would have come up with more promising stuff with ‘Bus Stand’ winning the hearts of all sets of audience. Let us see how it went.
Story:
This is the story of present day youth. Sreenu (Prince) loves Shailu (Sri Divya) where the latter is a sincere student. Her father pins lots of hopes and faith on her. But eventually her love towards Sreenu goes strong and then the clash starts with father.
Another guy, whose parents live on running a tiffin stall on road side, flirts with several girls and finally even ignores his parents due to his lust. How things turn from then is another track.
The third one is about a girl Seema (Hasika) who is a flirt. A guy loves her truly but she plays with him. But she gets betrayed by another. How situations change from then is another line.
Performances:
There are no big complaints with respect to the performances of any artiste.
Prince did his part well. But he can groom his dialogue delivery and expressions.
Nanditha is good and decent but still she needs to groom herself with respect to make over to get bigger offers.
Hasika who played Seema is the hot lady on screen. She has magnetic looks and can be promising if planned her career properly.
Sai Kumar is asusual with similar character he played in Ee Rojullo but without stammering.
Rao Ramesh is used for his stereo type message giving character. DMK, the journalist turned actor has got considerably lengthy role where he justified fully. Other two fathers are weak in screen presence but performed well.
Music by JB is good and especially the song in the pre climax, “Rekkalochchina prema…ningiki egirindaa…chukkalantina aasaa nelaki origindaa”. The back ground score for the film added lot of pep which made the film happening till the end without drop in pace.
Director repeated his genre with vulgarity, implying that he is comfortable only with it.
Analysis:
The intention is good. But the packaging marred. When a sweet was cooked, there will be no big complaint if more sugar is added to it. But how it becomes if loads of salt is poured in it? It becomes ‘Bus Stop’. The idea to show that parents are ultimate lovers in the world is impressive, but making that with tons of vulgarity makes the dish bitter.
Have you ever watched Shakeela’s soft porn films? Whatever hasn’t to be shown will be shown and at last gives a color of message orientation. This movie is no less to that genre. This is a store house of soft porn dialogues, incest hints and loads of vulgarity to the core. It is an adult rated movie targeted to lure the youth by satiating their carnal desires verbally. Audiences wonder how the censor board allowed this film to screen. Doubts indeed arise if censor board has gone bias with this film.
Though the film attracts some laughs from vulgarity lovers, the director lost the grip on emotions. No one knows why the father of Shailu objects her love interest Sreenu, who is responsible enough and also in the process of winning a job. DMK’s role (the father of a guy who loses his rings) resembles something like an eccentric character in Vamsi’s films. If there is any originality in this director, that is nothing but ‘vulgarity’. Like Sreenu Vaitla for comedy, VV Vinayak for action, Rajamouli for wonder, we have Maruthi for ‘vulgarity’. That’s proved with this film. If he wishes to continue that image, it’s ok. Otherwise, he needs to change his genre if wishes to correct his image.
This film is abominable. It may collect well at the box office as it plays with the senses of teens. The facts are expressed in this review, and even these facts may attract the youth to drive towards the film. It is no less to any D-grade soft porn film with a coating of regional commercial formula.

A little while ago, Thaman shared a stylish black-and-white picture of N. T. Rama Rao Jr. on social media.

With a toothpick casually placed between his lips, Jr NTR carried both classy and massy vibes effortlessly, leaving fans stunned.
What grabbed even more attention was the caption and background music used by Thaman. He added a bomb-blast emoji alongside the post, making fans believe something explosive is on the way. To increase the curiosity further, Thaman used the villain theme music of Omi from OG, the much-awaited film of Pawan Kalyan. The combination instantly sparked several theories among fans and film circles.
Many are now speculating that Thaman could be hinting at the much-talked-about collaboration between Jr NTR and Trivikram. Rumours suggest that the team may soon unveil a special birthday teaser for their upcoming project, tentatively referred to as God Of War. Since Thaman shares a close bond with both Trivikram and Jr NTR, fans strongly believe that the composer may have intentionally dropped clues about the project through this post.
At the moment, there is no official confirmation regarding the teaser or announcement. However, Thaman’s mysterious social media activity has successfully created huge buzz online. Fans are now eagerly waiting to see whether this stylish post was simply admiration for Jr NTR’s new look or an indirect hint about a major cinematic announcement.
