Movie: Mahavatar Narasimha (2025) Director: Ashwini Kumar  Production: Hombale Films Writers: Jayapurna Das, Ashwini Kumar & Rudra Prathap Language: Telugu, Kannada & Others Release Date: 25/07/2025 2.75/5 Modern Twist & a Fabricated Homage to a Timeless Classic  01. All about Mahavatar Narasimha. This animated 3D visualisation of Mahavatar Narasimha is a reinterpretation of the yesteryear's timeless classic Bhakta Prahlada - 1967 which itself is a depiction of the great Telugu Adaptation of Bhagavatam written by the legend Bammera Pothana. This is already a very well known Ithihasa of the ardent devotee Sri Bhakta Prahlada who opposed his Rakshasa father Hiranyakashipa the son of Kashyapa & Drithi in his foolish retaliation against the lord Vishnu. Henceforth the greatest among all avathars the Narasimha avathar comes on to save his pious disciple Prahalada.  02. What actually is too good in the film & how far it fares? There is not much until the pr...

Kuberaa Movie Review- Telugu (2025)

Movie: Kuberaa (2025) Director: Shekhar Kammula Production: Sree Venkateswara Cinemas Cast: Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna & Others Music: Devi Sri Prasad  Editor: Karthika Srinivas Cinematographer: Niketh Bommireddy Language: Telugu & Tamil Release Date: 20 Jun Streaming Platform: Amazon Prime  Censor: U/A 3.5/5 Story of an Innocent Man in Rags  01. What is Kuberaa all about? Kuberaa is a completely new Telugu genre film directed by Shekhar Kammula which is very much different from his usual template. And to everyone's surprise is a serious yet tricky screenplay featuring a very new aspect of Telugu cinema and the story telling. Ironically this film surprises with no/null Shekhar Kammula's doings or signature marks! Kuberaa is a very good story of a naive beggar Deva Kallam by tamil superstar Dhanush in his most comfortable role and splendid action. Entire movie revolves around this central character and the story happens around him. Basically Neeraj Mitra...

Rahman  Editor: Manish Pradhan Cinematography: Sourabh Goswami Language: Hindi Censor: U/A (Warning - Violence, Blood Pools) Release Date: 14/02/2025 3.75/5 "A Fierce Roar of Sambhaji In Voice of Vicky Kaushal" 01. All about 'Chhava' Chhava is the latest Hindi language film making the youngsters go bonkers for the action sequences & historical backdrop moreover a legend on the greatest Chathrapathi Sambhaji Maharaj  - the lion's cub- Chhava. Film is based on the Marathi novel Shivaji Sawant.  Coming to the film - I can simply term it as an action oriented extravaganza with a dash of historical adaptive. If at all, if anyone wonders how the great Sambhaji was a trouble to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb who lacked any part of mercy, kindness or ethics, this film shows perfectly how the Deccan king was a nail in Aurangzeb's to...

Friday Movie Review- Telugu (2025)

Movie: Friday (Independent Film) - 2025 Director: Anand Karanam Producer: Mani Serenades Cast: Arjun Jawabnavis, Surya Vamsee, Shashidhar Gopinath & Monica Busam Music: Nitish John Cinematography: Simhachalam Alyana Editor: Praneeth Kumar Language: Telugu Streaming Platform: YouTube  3/5 An Uncanny Yet Intriguingly Captivating Experience  01. All about 'Friday' & the genre. Friday - an 43 minute no genre independent film directed by Anand Karanam casting Arjun Jawabnavis, Monica & others is a very uncanny, too strange yet interesting backdrop for a film with this limitation on platform, budget & genre too.  It's generally about a struggling IT professional Prabhakar (Arjun Jawabnavis) who's bad at work nor having a great personal life too. He suffers from a typical anxiety & insomnia - which is directly affecting his work-life balance. In a parallel world we have an unsuccessful or somewhat unsatisfied maniac filmmaker Guru (Surya Vamsee) who's a...

Marco is simply a vengeance story of Unni Mukundan as Marco Peters avenging on Russel (Kabir Singh) who killed Marco's step brother Victor in a brutal way ofcourse. Why Ruassel killed Victor & why Marco is avenging him is something to watch for in the film. Siddique is Gorge Peter who's the head of Adattu family & Marco is his adopted brother. To know f...

Plot. Harikatha - Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge is a suspense thriller series that concentrates on supernatural powers, epic references, mythology & above all a typical message. This series with actors listing from the veteran Rajendra Prasad to Sriram is a good blend of nice performances & concept but still lies on a bland side due to the lack of freshness in story backdrop.  Harikatha is all about a revenge story planned by a group of people in Araku village set back in 1980's. Series starts with a gruelling murder scene & has many such scenes to conti...
