Anil Ravipudi's Sarileru Neekevvaru brings back the classic Mahesh Babu, who plays a confident and heroic character that fights, dances, saves the day, and delivers speeches on morality.

However, he manages to keep the film light-hearted and entertaining, which may work for some viewers. Mahesh Babu's character, Ajay Krishna, is a daredevil soldier stationed in Kashmir, who likes to live on the edge and has nothing to lose. Professor Bharati (Vijayashanthi) is…

Movies have a unique ability to attach themselves to memories of our lives. We remember not just the great performances or technical innovations, but also the little things like the theater we saw it in or how much we paid for tickets. Every movie becomes a footnote in a little phase of our lives. This is why we develop such fond memories of movie stars, who come to feel like extended family. In the case of the last movie of celebrated actor ANR, going to the theater becomes a conscious act of taking a trip down memory lane one last…

The latest movie by renowned director SV Krishna Reddy, "Organic Mama Hybrid Alludu," fails to impress in the current scenario due to its outdated storytelling. Although the film has a talented cast and good production values, the lack of novelty in its narrative and screenplay leaves the audience wanting more. The predictable introduction of the hero and heroine, a gang of rowdies after the heroine, the hero playing the savior, the wealthy and middle-class divide being an obstacle to marriage, the subplot for humor, and the placement of duets may have worked in the past but feel uninspired now. The…

Ravi Babu's portrayal of an investigative officer in the movie is commendable, as he impresses with his mannerisms and dialogues. His character makes a powerful entry by skillfully decoding a crime scene with finesse. Shamna Kkasim, who plays the role of Vandana, also leaves a mark with her impressive performance. Although the movie starts on a light note with students enjoying an online Forensic Pathology class monitored by Vandana, it quickly turns into an intriguing thriller with the entry of Professor Chakravarthy. The directors, Uday and Suresh, deserve credit for establishing the initial scenes effectively without wasting much time. The…

The plot of Kabzaa is set in the pre-independence era and revolves around the life of Arkeshwara (played by Upendra), the son of a patriotic freedom fighter who takes a different path and becomes a mafia don after turning rowdy. The movie focuses on what led him to become such a powerful force and the story of a royal family that keeps viewers engaged. Director R Chandru has created an authentic and realistic portrayal of the 1940s era with impressive set design and costumes. However, the emphasis on Arkeshwara's character development takes precedence over a deeper exploration of the plot,…
