इस फ़िल्म के कुछ दृश्य दर्शकों को भावनात्मक कर देने वाले हैं। फिल्म के सभी कलाकारों ने शानदार अभिनय किया है। फ़िल्म ‘टेक इट ईज़ी’ के माध्यम से निर्माता ने एक प्रभावी संदेश समाज को बच्चों को और अभिभावकों को दिया है और फिल्म में उसे बेहतर ढंग से प्रस्तुत किया गया है।
उल्लेखनीय है कि धर्मेश पंडित को दादा साहेब फाल्के फ़िल्म फाउंडेशन अवार्ड 2024 से सम्मानित किया गया था. इस फ़िल्म मे एक गीत सोनू निगम ने गाया है। फ़िल्म का संगीत ज़ी म्युज़िक ने जारी किया है। हिंदी और साउथ की लैंगुएज के साथ यह फ़िल्म 10 भाषाओं में डब की गई है।
फिल्म की कहानी दो बच्चों के बारे में है। एक बच्चे का पिता खिलाड़ी रह चुका है इसलिए वह अपने बेटे को भी प्लेयर बनाना चाहता है, जबकि बच्चे की रुचि पढ़ाई में है। दूसरे बच्चे के पिता की ख्वाहिश है कि उसका पुत्र खूब पढ़े लिखे, मगर बच्चे को कुछ और पसन्द है। मातापिता कैसे बच्चों के जरिए अपने ख्वाबो को पूरा करना चाहते हैं। इस फ़िल्म की कहानी का पॉइंट यह है. मगर इसके साथ ही कई और मुद्दों को भी इस कहानी में पिरोने का प्रयास किया है। किस प्रकार आजकल स्कूलों में एडमिशन और दूसरी बातों को लेकर स्कूल मैनेजमेंट की हरकतें होती हैं, भारी फीस वाली इंग्लिश मीडियम स्कूलों में मातापिता अपने बच्चों को प्रवेश दिलाना चाहते हैं। इन सब बातों को भी इसमें दिखाया गया है।
बच्चों की पढ़ाई के मुद्दे पर और उनके ऊपर डाले गए पढ़ाई का प्रेशर और उससे वह किस तरह से बाहर निकलते हैं इस कहानी के आधारित हिंदी फिल्म “टेक इट इजी” 27 जून को नजदीकी सिनेमाघर में रिलीज हो रही है

Rising Bollywood Producer And Investor Sushim Gaikwad Honored With “Karm Deep Samman”
In a world where celebrity splits often become tabloid feasts, one story has remained stubbornly persistent—claims that actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu demanded a ₹200 crore alimony from her former husband, actor Naga Chaitanya. But insiders close to the couple now confirm what many hoped was true all along: the rumor was entirely false.
There was no alimony. There was no legal battle over money. There was only silence, mutual respect, and the difficult decision to part ways.
Their joint statement in 2021 called the separation “mutual.” But as is often the case, silence bred speculation. In the weeks that followed, social media threads and gossip columns fixated on a staggering sum—a ₹200 crore alimony figure, as if healing came with a price tag.
But the truth, it seems, is far more grounded. Samantha refused financial support. She didn’t want a penny. “All she took with her was her dignity,” said a source close to the actress. “It was never about money. It was about peace of mind, and moving forward with grace.”
The narrative of alimony unfortunately became a stick to beat her with. In a society where women are still judged for choosing independence over compromise, the fabricated figure painted her as materialistic. What it actually masked was courage—courage to walk away from a public relationship, knowing full well the whispers that would follow.
What made the situation harder was the timing. As Samantha focused on her career—rebuilding herself, one role at a time—her past kept resurfacing in distorted forms. Her name was pulled into unrelated controversies. She was questioned, doubted, dissected. Yet, through it all, she never retaliated. She simply worked.
In parallel, Naga Chaitanya too chose silence. He later found companionship with actor Sobhita Dhulipala, well after the legal formalities of the separation were complete. By all accounts, their marriage had ended before either sought new beginnings.
The real story, perhaps, is not about who said what, or who moved on faster. It’s about two people choosing dignity over drama. Samantha never asked for ₹200 crore. But in choosing herself, she may have gained something far more valuable.
What Alimony? Samantha Ruth Prabhu Walked Away With Her Dignity, Not ₹200 Crore
