Rizwan Entertainment and Kalyanji Content Pictures are jointly presenting the upcoming romantic crime drama Danny, produced by Rizwan and directed by Kalyanji Gogana. The film features Ashish Gandhi, Sejal Gupta, Sonal Singh and Azhar Khan in prominent roles. The makers have now unveiled the film’s first strike.
The first strike of Danny immediately grabs attention with its youthful, provocative and unapologetically bold tone. The glimpse opens with a girl asking the protagonist, “Do you always come to the beach alone?” He responds with a cheeky line, saying, “If I have to come to the beach, there definitely has to be a girl.” He then goes on to reveal that he likes a girl’s back as much as he likes the beach. These bold exchanges instantly establish the film’s attitude and are likely to strike a chord with its target youth audience.
However, the first strike also makes it evident that Danny is not merely a bold romantic drama. The visuals hint at a much darker world, bringing together romance, crime and intense action. The rugged imagery, the protagonist’s attitude and the raw presentation give the film a distinctive texture. The final sequence, in which the protagonist smokes a cigarette while covered in blood, leaves a particularly strong impression and adds to the intrigue surrounding his character.
Overall, the first strike suggests that ‘Danny’ is shaping up to be a bold, raw and rustic romantic crime drama packed with commercial elements.
The reunion of director Kalyanji Gogana and Ashish Gandhi further adds to the interest surrounding the project. The duo previously collaborated on ‘Natakam’ and ‘Kalinga’, with both films receiving a positive response from audiences. Their coming together once again for ‘Danny’ has naturally raised expectations, and the first strike only adds to the curiosity. Ashish Gandhi delivers what appears to be his most intense performance yet, while Kalyanji Gogana brings a distinctive visual style and treatment to the character and the story.
Visually, the first strike stands out with impressive cinematography and a raw visual treatment that complements the film’s mood. The camera work by AK Anand adds depth and energy to the sequences, while Sai Kartheek’s background score emerges as one of the major highlights, enhancing the intensity and impact of the visuals.
Kushi is serving as the co-producer, with Manikanth taking care of the editing. Ram Sunkara and Kalyanji Gogana have choreographed the action sequences, while Sai Ram Jalla is the co-director. Rhythm Studios is responsible for sound design, and Koti Works has handled the publicity design.
The makers are expected to announce more updates about ‘Danny’ soon. The film is gearing up for a grand theatrical release in October.
