Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal, is the biggest grosser of Indian cinema this year. The film was based on Indian history, and there was anticipation in Telugu and other South Indian audiences too.

Chhaava’s OTT Release leaves Telugu and South Indian audiences disappointed

As said above, there was a lot of curiosity around the film’s digital release, and today, the film arrives on Netflix. But Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava’s OTT release left Telugu and South fans disappointed.

The Telugu and southern audiences eagerly waited for the OTT release of this historical biopic, but the disappointment is that the film is only streaming in Hindi on Netflix. Southern audiences are waiting for the film to stream in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu is one of the biggest films to emerge from Indian cinema this year, carrying sky-high expectations and fan frenzy to match.

The final leg of production is firing on all cylinders, with re-recording, dubbing, and VFX work progressing at a breakneck pace. Every frame is being meticulously crafted, every sound fine-tuned, and every visual effect elevated to deliver a world that’s as grand as the legend of Veera Mallu himself. The team is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that this film doesn’t just meet expectations—it redefines them. The scale, the emotion, the action—it’s all coming together like never before, setting the stage for a truly unforgettable theatrical experience.

Director A.M. Jyothi Krishna has been working relentlessly over the past seven months, overseeing every department from editing and VFX to shooting the balance parts to bring this ambitious project to life. His hands-on approach and swift execution have been key in shaping the film’s final vision in record time.

The war for dharma has begun.

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is back as the outlaw Veera Mallu, a warrior with fire in his soul and justice on his mind. In his most ferocious avatar yet, he’s ready to rip through the screen and steal the Koh-i-Noor diamond right from under the Mughal noses. This isn’t just a story—it’s a revolution, and on May 9th, we’re all signing up for it.

With a massive overseas release also in the cards, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is poised to dominate globally across Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Directed by A.M. Jyothi Krishna & Krish Jagarlamudi. A.M. Jyothi Krishna who took the reins amidst delays caused by the pandemic and Pawan Kalyan’s political commitments, the film is backed by a powerhouse crew:

M.M. Keeravani, the Oscar-winning maestro, is composing a soundtrack already whispered to be historic.

Manoj Paramahamsa handles the lens, capturing a world soaked in grandeur and grit.

Thota Tharani, the veteran art director, crafts an immersive backdrop fit for this epic tale.

Bobby Deol, SatyaRaj, and a cast that slaps:

While Pawan Kalyan is the blazing heart of the story, the supporting cast brings dynamite energy.

Bobby Deol as the Mughal emperor channels villainy with swagger we’ve missed since Animal and Daaku Maharaj.

Nidhhi Agerwal stuns, while Satyaraj and Jisshu Sengupta add depth and gravitas to this already electric lineup.

After years of delays, speculation, and anticipation, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is finally roaring to life—ready to explode on the big screens and take no prisoners.

Produced by A. Dayakar Rao

Presented by AM Rathnam under Mega Surya Productions

Hari Hara Veera Mallu releases in cinemas worldwide on May 9th, 2025.

Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi Movie Review: Entertains only in parts

0

Movie Name: Akkada Ammahi Ikkada Abbayi
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast: 
Pradeep Machiraju, Deepika Pilli, Vennela Kishore, Satya and others
Director: Nitin Bharath
Produ
ced By: Asishteja Pulala
Release Date: 11th April 2025

Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi is a new Telugu film which hit the theaters today. Directed by Nitin-Bharath, the movie stars Pradeep Machiraju (who scored a hit as a hero with 30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela) and Deepika Pilli in the main roles.

Story:

In Hyderabad, Krishna (Pradeep Machiraju), a civil engineer, upholds a strange principle: don’t help anyone. He goes to Bhairi Lanka village to build bathrooms, but villagers deny him access due to a strange rule: no outsider can interact with Raja (Deepika Pilli), the sole girl in the village, as every man wants to marry her. Krishna’s stay depends on his total avoidance of her. Fate brings Krishna and Raja together in love. Why is Raja the sole woman in the village? What explains the village’s odd traditions? How do the villagers respond to Krishna and Raja’s love? The rest of the film answers the questions

Performances:

Pradeep Machiraju gives a satisfactory performance. Deepika Pilli is also fine and her chemistry with Pradeep is good. With great comedic timing, Satya impresses, and Getup Srinu adds charm as the gullible villager. They consistently provide laughs in the first half. Actors such as Peekay and Vennela Kishore contribute well, with Brahmanandam and Brahmaji delivering laughs in minor roles.

Analysis:

The film’s story is straightforward, and directors Nitin and Bharath infused humor into the first half. The romance between the lead pair and villagers’ comedy connect nicely, offering entertainment. The interval bang grabs attention. But, the latter part doesn’t provide much entertainment, with comedy showing up only occasionally. The pace of the narrative slows, making scenes feel unnecessarily long. The climax fails to deliver strong emotions and feels rushed.

Positives:

  • Pradeep Machiraju – Deepika’s Pair
  • Comedy in the First Half
  • Few Good Dialogues here and there

Negatives:

  • Inconsistent Second Half
  • Dragged Scenes
  • Rushed Climax

Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi Movie Review and Verdict:

The film Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi entertains in parts. Satya and Getup Srinu shine in the first half, but the second half suffers from uneven storytelling and a lackluster ending. The lead pair Pradeep Machiraju and Deepika did well.

Good Bad Ugly takes a record opening in Ajith’s films by crossing Vidaamuyarchi. Though the film did not receive big openings as per the expectations, it did well. Ajith’s Good Bad Ugly Day 1 Box Office Collections are out now.

Good Bad Ugly Day 1 Box Office: Ajith’s Biggest Opening

In Tamil Nadu, the film has an opening around 30 Cr, and the all-India gross is around 35 Cr. From overseas, the film has opened with 2 million, which is the biggest start for Ajith. With this, the total opening is around 52-53 Cr gross worldwide. Ajith’s Good Bad Ugly Day 1 box office collections cross 50 Cr at the worldwide box office.

Even though it is a record opening for Ajith, as said above, the initial expectations when the film’s teaser was released were bigger, and everyone expected an opening like around 70-80 Cr. But the promotional content only attracted fans, which resulted in the openings getting slightly less.

The film is expected to be Ajith’s biggest lifetime grosser as well. The film has completely satisfied the fans, but from neutral audiences, it received average WOM, and we need to wait and see how it shines at the box office for the weekend and full run.

Bad Fortune for Hari Hara Veera Mallu Producer

0

Hari Hara Veera Mallu producer AM Ratnam wanted to do a very big film with Pawan Kalyan and started the film amidst massive craze. However, the film faced numerous issues in its filming, and it is yet to be completed. The industry circles feel that it is all bad fortune for Hari Hara Veera Mallu Producer.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Shooting Faces Many Problems

Even though Ratnam’s intentions are very big, his fortune is not in his favor, as the film sees many issues like budget problems, delays in shooting due to Pawan Kalyan’s political career, and reshoots along with a director change. The film also was divided into two parts.

Finally, after all the hurdles, the team locked 9th May as the release date, and Pawan Kalyan was expected to join the shoot at this period to complete it, but now due to the unfortunate incident that happened to Pawan Kalyan’s son Mark Shankar (a fire accident), again impacts the shooting.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu May 9th Release: Still Possible, but will it Happen?

It looks like a bad fortune for Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu Producer. Now, AM Ratnam is reportedly facing high pressure from Prime Video, the OTT giant that bought the digital rights already and is unhappy with multiple postponements of the film.

If the movie gets postponed from 9th May, then the OTT giant, Prime Video, might step back from the film, which will bring a big burden for the producer financially. We need to see how all these things are sorted out. There’s just less than a month left until the release date. 

Jaat Opens with Half of Producer’s Expectations

0

Jaat, starring Sunny Deol, is produced by Mythri Movies and People Media Factory and directed by Gopichand Malineni. Amidst good box office expectations, the film was released in theaters and opened to a decent response. JAAT opens with half of the producer’s expectations.

Sunny Deol’s JAAT opens to a Modest Start at the Box Office

The producers officially said that they are expecting a 20 Cr+ start for the film, but Sunny Deol’s JAAT opens with half of the producers’ expectations. The early trade reports suggest that the film will open with a 9-10 Cr range net in India, which is a modest start for the film.

JAAT expected to take a good jump over the weekend

Sunny Deol is a big star at mass belts where the movie opens well, whereas the main money spinners like cities and plexes see below-par occupancies, which impacted the opening of the film.

The positive sign is the film received a good response from mass belts and is expected to see a growth over the weekend. For the budget the makers have spent, the action film should do the 150 Cr range in India in the full run.
