Puri Jagannadh Corrects His Past Mistakes

Puri Jagannadh is known for his planning and speed in making films, and he always completed the shooting of his films very quickly within 4-5 months. Though he drifted away from his habit for his recent films, Puri now corrects his past mistakes with his upcoming film, starring Vijay Sethupathi.

The recent films directed by Puri Jagannadh are Liger and Ismart Shankar. He took longer to complete these projects than usual, leading to budget overruns and ultimately, financial losses.

But for Vijay Sethupathi’s film, which is his next, Puri learns from the mistakes and goes with proper planning and completes the shoot in quick time like before. The shoot started on 7th July, and now the entire shoot is wrapped up.

Puri and Vijay Sethupathi’s team is preparing to kick-start promotions. The title and first-look poster will be unveiled soon as the film gears up for a Pan-India release in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.

The Family Man 3 Review: Raj & DK Entertain Well, Though The Series Drags At Times

Web Series Name: The Family Man 3
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Manoj Bajpayee, Jaideep Ahlawat, Shreya Dhanwantary, Nimrat Kaur, Priyamani, Sharib Hashmi, Ashlesha Thakur and Others
Created by: Raj & DK
Streaming on: Prime Video

After a long gap of four years, Raj and DK’s The Family Man 3, starring Manoj Bajpayee has finally been released on Prime Video. Let’s see if the new season meets the expectations.

Story:

Srikant Tiwari, the top TASC agent, is now on the run from both the government and his enemies. At the same time, the sensitive Northeast region of India faces a dangerous and well-funded conspiracy. The story follows Tiwari’s fight for justice while he deals with serious challenges in his personal life.

Performances:

Manoj Bajpayee once again shines as Srikant Tiwari with an excellent performance. Jaideep Ahlawat impresses with his calm yet terrifying role as Rukma, keeping strong intensity throughout. Sharib Hashmi and Shreya Dhanwantary are very good, while Priyamani, Ashlesha Thakur, and Vedant Sinha perform decently. Nimrat Kaur looks graceful, though her character has limited scope. Seema Biswas stands out in her scenes.

Analysis:

In the third season of The Family Man, creators Raj and DK raise the tension to a new level. The plot explores not only the professional and personal struggles of Srikant but also touches upon important social issues.

The series starts on an engaging note and quickly moves into the main conflict. As Srikant deals with multiple challenges while chasing a murderer, the suspense keeps the audience curious about how he will succeed.

The funny and sharp conversations between Srikant and JK work well once again. However, the villains and the obstacles for the hero could have been more powerful.

The show remains impactful until the fourth episode, but it slows down at places due to a relaxed narrative. The final episode becomes intense again with strong dialogues and emotional moments, but the cliffhanger ending may disappoint many fans.

The focus on too many issues sometimes stops the characters from fully developing, leaving viewers wanting more from Srikant and his team.

Positives:

  • Manoj Bajpayee’s Performance
  • Intriguing Northeast Conflict Point
  • First Four Episodes

Negatives:

  • Dragged Middle Episodes
  • Weak Handling of Srikanth Tiwari and Rukma Conflict
  • A Somewhat Disappointing Cliffhanger

The Family Man 3 Review and Verdict:

Overall, The Family Man 3 is a proper continuation of the beloved series. Although Raj and DK struggle a bit in dealing with too many issues, they still succeed in keeping the audience engaged.

Kaantha Flops at the Box Office

Dulquer Salmaan’s Kaantha was released in theaters two weeks ago with good expectations, but the film ultimately flopped at the box office, disappointing everyone who had high hopes for it. 

The film stars Dulquer Salmaan and Bhagyashree Borse in lead roles, with Samuthirakani playing a crucial part along with Rana Daggubati. The Chennai premieres opened with very big reviews, and everyone expected that the film would easily do 100 Cr gross. 

But the film takes a complete turn after the FDFS shows, and it received mixed word of mouth from audiences and worked only for a few sections of people, resulting in a big failure at the box office. 

For 10 days the film’s worldwide gross is just estimated to be around 35 Cr gross, and it will end with around 40 Cr. The film crashed on weekdays after the opening weekend and did not see a jump on the next weekends either. 

Overall, Kaantha turns out to be a flop at the box office. Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati believed so much in the content, and they also produced it, but the end result will surely disappoint them.

Many OTT viewers feel it is unfair to face ads even after paying a high subscription fee. They question why they should be interrupted with advertisements while enjoying their content.

Prime Video’s New Ad Feature Gets Backlash

As mentioned, Prime Video subscribers are expressing their disappointment more strongly after the release of The Family Man Season 3, which includes seven episodes. Most viewers want to binge-watch the entire season without breaks, but the frequent ads are irritating them and disturbing their viewing experience.

Netizens are raising this issue on social media and tagging the official Amazon Prime accounts, demanding a solution. Now, everyone is waiting to see how the digital platform responds to this feedback and whether they will offer an ad-free option for paid users.

Brahmanandam Clears a Big Misunderstanding

A video of popular comedian Brahmanandam appearing to push former minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao has gone viral on social media. With the video sparking widespread discussion, Brahmanandam released a clarification video to explain what actually happened.

Brahmanandam attended the Mohan Babu Cinema Swarnotsava celebrations held in Hyderabad. Since he was running late to the event, he hurried towards the venue entrance. At the same moment, Errabelli Dayakar Rao approached him asking for a photo together. Brahmanandam, appearing to say “Not now… later,” gently moved him aside and proceeded inside. 

This moment was recorded on video, and it began circulating online with claims that Brahmanandam pushed the former minister.

Responding to the controversy, Brahmanandam released a video saying, “I have known Dayanna (Errabelli) for 30 years. We are very good friends. With that friendly rapport, I playfully said ‘wait’ and went inside. But some people portrayed it as if I pushed him. We both spoke afterwards, and when we saw the video this morning, we laughed about it.”

The veteran actor urged people not to misunderstand the situation and confirmed that there is no conflict between them. He stated that a harmless moment between friends was exaggerated and given a wrong interpretation.

Shah Rukh Khan in Jailer 2?

Rajinikanth and Nelson’s Jailer sequel is set for a June 2026 release, generating significant buzz among audiences due to the success of the first film. Recent reports circulating in industry circles suggest Shah Rukh Khan may be joining the cast of Jailer 2 for a cameo.

The first of the Jailer had several cameos, which worked really well, as the director, Nelson, designed the cameos extraordinarily, and they were also well placed in the story.

After Jailer’s huge success, many directors attempted to replicate the cameo formula, including director Lokesh Kanagaraj with Coolie, but it wasn’t successful. Reportedly, Jailer 2 will feature numerous cameos, and the makers are reportedly pursuing Shah Rukh Khan for an important role.

If Shahrukh Khan agrees, the shoot will be planned for December. We need to see how it goes finally, but if it happens for real, then definitely it will become a big asset for the film.

Nelson and the team reportedly planned a cameo for Balakrishna from Telugu, but the veteran wasn’t convinced to accept the offer. It will be interesting to see how SRK, who has always stated he is a big fan of Rajinikanth, will respond to this proposal.

iBomma Ravi’s Father Fires on Movie Producer

Apparao, the father of iBomma Ravi, has strongly reacted to producer C. Kalyan’s recent comments suggesting an “encounter” against those involved in the iBomma piracy website issue. Responding sharply, Apparao stated that only those who face such atrocities understand the real pain. He cautioned that it was inappropriate for Kalyan to make such statements directed at his son.

Speaking to the media, Apparao said, “If a film has good content, audiences will definitely go to theatres. I once watched movies for 45 paise. But today, ticket prices have increased drastically. Who is asking filmmakers to spend crores of rupees on movies?” He added that instead of blaming others, the film industry should correct its own mistakes.

Apparao also clarified that he will provide financial support to the lawyer representing his son and assured that they will continue to fight the case purely through legal means.

It is widely known that producer C. Kalyan recently created a controversy by claiming that the Telugu film industry suffered losses of thousands of crores due to iBomma and that people like iBomma Ravi should be encountered. In the wake of these remarks, Ravi’s father Apparao has now issued this strong response.
