Shiva Nirvana’s ‘Tuck Jagadish’, with Nani and Ritu Varma, is an underwhelming count-the-clichés exercise

Pawan Kumar’s elegantly made web series ‘Kudi Yedamaithe’, starring Amala Paul and Rahul Vijay, is solid sci-fi with impressive writing
July 28, 2021
Spoilers ahead… Text: Kudi Yedamaithe is created and written by Ram Vignesh, and directed by Pawan Kumar (Lucia, U Turn). The show has eight roughly half-hour episodes. The first one occurs on the night of February 29, 2020 when we see a frightened man running out of a building. He’s Aadhi (Rahul Vijay), a delivery guy for […]
Srikanth Addala’s ‘Narappa’, starring Venkatesh and Priyamani, is a too-faithful remake of ‘Asuran’, but it works
July 20, 2021
Spoilers ahead… Text: Narappa is adapted from Vetrimaaran’s Asuran which in turn was based on Poomani’s novel ‘Vekkai’. At first, we see Narappa, played by Venkatesh, as a very weak man. He’s someone who would sacrifice his own self-respect to keep him and his family out of trouble. And one of his sources of trouble is the three acres of […]

Karthik Rapolu’s ‘Ek Mini Katha’ (Santosh Shobhan, Kavya Thapar), on Amazon Prime, is a barely okayish watch about a man who thinks he has a small penis
May 27, 2021
Spoilers ahead… Text: In Ek Mini Katha, Santhosh (Santhosh Shoban) plays Santhosh, a man who thinks that he has a small penis, and this gives him a complex. There’s a scene that shows Santhosh as a college student: his girlfriend invites him to her house to have sex but later kicks him out. The assumption is […]
Kishor B’s ‘Sreekaram’ (Sharwanand, Priyanka Arul Mohan), on SUN NXT, is a bland ‘city dude saves farmers’ drama
May 25, 2021
Spoilers ahead… Text: Sreekaram is one of those films where a messiah from a city comes to the village and solves the issues of farmers. Karthik (Sharwanand) is the messiah here. The first time we see him is when he comes back home to his village on a bus. He is sitting on its top and […]
Jayanth Gali’s’s ‘Love Life & Pakodi’, on Amazon Prime, is an okayish attempt at deconstructing modern-day relationships
May 22, 2021
Spoilers ahead… Text: Love Life & Pakodi is a love story between Rheya (Sanchitha Poonacha) and Arun (Bimal Kartheek Rebba). Like all boy–girl love stories in our cinema the question is whether the two would get together in the end—but here the journey is different. It’s a bit like Mani Ratnam’s OK Kanmani where a boy and girl are […]
Praveen Kandregula’s ‘Cinema Bandi’ (on Netflix) is a pleasant excursion into a villager’s passion for movie-making
May 14, 2021
Spoilers ahead… Text: Cinema Bandi is a small, charming film. You have a village, Gollapalli, which has all the usual problems of an Indian village: no rains or irrigation for cultivation. On the other side, you have the fantasy world of cinema where rains are available for something as frivolous as a rain dance. You have […]

Despite the clichés, Bucchi Babu Sana’s ‘Uppena’ (Panja Vaisshnav Tej, Krithi Shetty, Vijay Sethupathi) does interesting things in the ‘masala’ space
