Today Telugu superstar Allu Arjun's Duvvada Jagannadham or DJ has finally hit more than 1300 screens worldwide to cash in on the long Eid weekend. The movie has got a huge box office opening, and it might emerge as this year's top grossing films in Telugu cinema after director SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Conclusion.
Duvvada Jagannadham, directed by Harish Shankar, the movie has Pooja Hegde of Mohenjo Daro fame in the female lead role. The movie is produced by Dil Raju with whom Allu had collaborated previously and resulted into blockbusters like Arya and Parugu.
The actor surprised fans with a traditional Brahmin look, but soon it was known that it was all farce to hide his real identity – of a spy!
Here are seven reasons why you must watch Duvvada Jagannadham:
1) Allu Arjun’s double role
Allu Arjun plays two characters in this film - a traditional Brahmin caterer and a hi-fi stylish spy. Both are as different as they can be, yet equally interesting. Now, it will be exciting to watch how both roles merge into one to give us a helluva character.
2) Pooja Hedge
DJ is the second Telugu movie with Allu Arjun. Earlier Pooja Hedge worked with Varun Tej in Mukunda. Pooja has convincingly done the given job that is to look stunning in every frame of the film. She looks ravishing in all the song sequences.
3) Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde’s sizzling chemistry
Pooja and Allu Arjun's on-screen chemistry is the highlight of the film and we have seen it through the movie. It’s tough to believe it’s Allu and Pooja's first film together. They sure make a good looking pair. Even on the dance floor, Pooja Hegde matches up to Allu Arjun’s steps with ease.
4) Comedy and Drama sequences
The movie is high on three points: action, drama and comedy. While Allu’s Brahmin cook avatar as Duvvada Jagannadham is full of drama and promises to leave the fans in splits, his stylish avatar as a spy, DJ, is full of action and whistle-worthy punchlines.
5) Action sequences
The movie has mind-blowing action sequences. Allu Arjun will show his true element as he pins down every bad guy. The scenes are going to have you at the edge of your seat. It’s a nice mix of action and drama, and we love it!
6) Allu Arjun’s dance performances
Allu Arjun's movies are incomplete without his stellar dance moves. And this movie is no different! Devi Sri Prasad has created another superhit music album which looks even better with Allu Arjun flaunting his killer moves! When it comes to choreography, watch Seeti Maar song promo.
7) Allu Arjun and Harish Shankar combo
Director Harish Shankar's decade-old wish is finally fulfilled with DJ. Harish always wished to direct Allu Arjun. Harish has packed some punch into the screenplay of the film keeping hardcore Allu Arjun fans in mind. The climax is said to be the highlight of the film.
Telugu star Allu Arjun’s last couple of releases were huge blockbusters at the box office. In fact, he has been the most consistent performer, these days when it comes to delivering hits.
