Jolly LLB 3 Movie Review: An Engaging Courtroom Drama

Movie Name: Jolly LLB 3
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Saurabh Shukla, Amrita Rao, Huma Qureshi
Director: Subhash Kapoor
Produced By: Alok Jain, Ajit Andhare
Release Date: 19th September 2025

Jolly LLB is the third installment in the Jolly LLB series and sequel to Jolly LLB 2. The film stars Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla, with Amrita Rao and Huma Qureshi all reprising their roles from the first and second film. Let us check this sequel is able to meet the expectations or not in our review.

Story:

The story of Jolly LLB 3 revolves around Janki (Seema Biswas), a farmer’s widow who files a case against Haribhai Khetan (Gajraj Rao), one of the country’s richest and most respected businessmen, holding him responsible for her husband’s death. Lawyers Jagdish Tyagi (Arshad Warsi) and Jagdishwar Mishra (Akshay Kumar), who often clash over cases and clients, come together for Janki’s case. The rest of the film follows their journey as they fight for justice and face several challenges along the way.

Performances:

Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi both deliver strong performances and have standout moments that add weight to the story. Saurabh Shukla is excellent as the judge, bringing energy and humor to the courtroom scenes. Gajraj Rao, Seema Biswas, and Ram Kapoor fit their roles well. Huma Qureshi and Amrita Rao are fine in their limited screen time.

Analysis:

Director Subhash Kapoor, like in the earlier films, draws inspiration from real events: This time from the 2011 land acquisition protests in Uttar Pradesh. The film begins with an emotional tone and then shifts to the rivalry between the two Jollys. Their humorous exchanges work well, and the first half flows smoothly, ending just as the main case begins.

The second half leans more into emotion and features some powerful scenes, especially in the pre-climax and climax courtroom sequences. However, the film does repeat familiar themes like the conflict between wealth and morality, and the poor vs. rich angle, which audiences have seen in the previous installments.

Positives:

  • Performances
  • Fun Parts
  • Second Half

Negatives:

  • Some Predictable Scenes
  • Slightly Stretched Feel Before Interval

Jolly LLB 3 Movie Review and Verdict:

Subhash Kapoor’s Jolly LLB 3 succeeds with its honest storytelling, strong performances, and engaging dramatic parts. While some parts feel predictable, the film still manages to be a satisfying watch overall.

Beauty Movie Review: An Unconvincing Journey With Some Heartfelt Moments

Movie Name: Beauty
Rating: 2.25/5
Cast: Ankith Koyya, Nilakhi, Naresh, Vasuki Anand, and Others
Director: JSS Vardhan
Produced By: Zee Studios, Maruthi Team
Release Date: 19th September 2025

Ankith Koyya (Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam Fame) and Nilakhi’s romantic drama Beauty has hit the theaters today, i.e., September 19, 2025. The film’s teaser and trailer impressed audiences, and let us check whether the film is able to impress overall in our review.

Story:

Alekhya (Nilakhi Patro) is a college student who is deeply loved by her father, Narayana (Naresh), a cab driver. She demands her father buy a scooty, and he does so despite financial challenges.

Meanwhile, Alekhya falls in love with a stranger named Arjun (Ankith Koyya), whom she meets unexpectedly. As their relationship grows, her mother (Vasuki Anand) discovers the affair. Fearing her parents’ reaction, Alekhya runs away with Arjun to Hyderabad. Her father sets out to find her, and the rest of the story is about what happens to the couple and how Narayana finds them.

Performances:

Ankith Koyya delivers a decent performance, though his role lacks depth. Nilakhi Patro is expressive and energetic, but her character often feels annoying. Veteran actor Naresh shines as the father who loves her daughter, and his acting makes audiences root for him. Vasuki Anand makes a noticeable impact, while Prasad Behara is underutilized in a minor role. Nithin Prasanna is adequate.

Analysis:

Directed by J.S.S. Vardhan, Beauty starts off with an interesting concept and a touch of suspense. The initial fun moments work well, but the romantic track feels awkward and fails to engage. The dialogues are often uncomfortable and weaken the chemistry between the lead pair.

The tension around the interval could have been better, but it hints at improvement in the second half. The twist before the climax is mildly engaging, and the emotional scenes that follow have some effect.

Despite a few positives, the film struggles with unrealistic storytelling and poor execution. Instead of empathizing with the lead characters, viewers may find their actions immature. By the time the twist arrives, it feels too late to make an impact.

Positives:

  • Naresh Performance
  • Last half an hour

Negatives:

  • Weak/Silly Romance Portions
  • Unnecessary/Repetitive Scenes
  • Lacks The Required Tense Moments

Beauty Movie Review and Verdict:

Overall, Beauty is a well-intentioned romantic thriller that works only in parts. Naresh’s heartfelt performance and a few gripping moments stand out, but the rest of the film fails to leave a lasting impression.

OG vs Pushpa 2: Ticket Price Difference Impacts Nizam Box Office Records

Pushpa 2 is the first film in Nizam, which enjoys record ticket prices, premieres, and show counts. Now Pawan Kalyan’s OG also got huge ticket hikes, but the ticket price difference between both films will impact the box office records in the Nizam area. 

Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule is the first film to get the 4-digit official ticket price in Telangana, and with such huge pricing, the movie broke RRR’s opening and emerged as an all-time no. 1 opener with a 25 Cr share, and it will be 29.5 Cr if we include the GST.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG was expected to break the records of Pushpa Sequel, and everyone expected it would get ticket hikes like it as well. But there is a significant difference between OG and Pushpa 2 ticket prices.

Telangana Ticket Prices: Pushpa-2 vs. OG

For Premieres, Pushpa-2 had 1239 ticket price in Multiplexes while in Single Screens, it had 1121 ticket price. Now, coming to OG, it will have 800 Rs ticket price in both Multiplexes and Single Screens 800

Pushpa-2 had 531 Rs ticket price in Multiplexes 531, while 354 Rs ticket price in Single Screens in the 1st Weekend, whereas OG will have Rs 445 ticket price in Multiplexes 445 and Rs 277 in Single Screens.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG needs huge number of Premieres/Special Shows to beat Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2

Also, Pushpa 2 was released during a dry period with no films running at the box office, which helped it, while now Mirai, Kishkindhapuri, and Little Hearts saw good numbers, and all those films will keep some screens with them.

With all these prospects, day 1 record looks tough for Pawan Kalyan’s OG, and it needs massive premieres and special shows to cross or get near the openings of Pushpa 2.

How Allu Arjun Film Affording Deepika Padukone?

How Allu Arjun Film Affording Deepika Padukone?

Deepika Padukone has been removed from two ambitious projects, Spirit and Kalki 2. While the rumors suggest that the actress is putting up unacceptable demands, everyone wonders how Allu Arjun-Atlee’s film is affording Deepika Padukone. 

The inside news is that the actress demands lesser working hours, huge remuneration of 30 Cr, and team maintenance, along with a share in profits. Deepika is yet to answer these allegations.

Deepika Padukone is yet to respond regarding her exit from Kalki 2

But here the surprising part is that on the other side she is working on an Allu Arjun film. If we look at budgets and risks, Kalki 2 is a sequel film for a 1000 Cr grosser. So any budget will work for the film, whereas Sandeep Vanga’s Spirit production cost is not huge.

Because Vanga’s films concentrate on characterizations and intense performances, and they do not have any CG or any new-world-kind of elements. Both films do not have any problem with budgets, and they can easily get over with profits for any amount even though they cannot afford Deepika Padukone.

Deepika Padukone: Out of Two Big Films – But continuing in Allu Arjun – Atlee’s Film

Coming to Allu Arjun-Atlee’s film, it is already a high-budget project, with the Pushpa 2 actor taking huge remuneration as it is after scoring such a massive blockbuster.

Also, director Atlee is taking huge remuneration after Jawan. On top of that, the film has new themes, such as different worlds, and it requires huge CG works. Already, big Hollywood technicians have joined the team, making the cost of production very huge.

Audiences wonder how come Allu Arjun – Atlee’s Film is able to afford Deepika Padukone in light of rumors around her pricey demands

AA 22 is not a franchise film, and it also stars multiple leading actresses, such as Jahnvi Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur, and Deepika Padukone, along with Bhagyashree Borse, who is said to be in talks with the producers.

Seeing such a massive star cast, huge production costs, and big remunerations for a standalone film, along with the reputation of the film’s production house, Sun Pictures, known for their well-planned methods regarding their films’ budget and business, the audiences wonder how the team is affording Deepika Padukone if she has such high demands for signing a film as mentioned above.

RRR actor NTR is currently working on a big-budget film directed by Prashanth Neel, tentatively titled Dragon. Fans were shocked to know that the actor sustained an injury during a commercial ad shoot, but the official update about NTR’s health has calmed them down.

NTR Gets Injured: Official update is that he is safe

The shoot of NTR—Neel’s film is progressing at a brisk pace, and in between, Tarak was filming an advertisement for a brand he endorses in Hyderabad.

News of the injury has worried fans, who are posting messages wishing him a speedy recovery and trying to find out what exactly happened.

Bhadrakaali Movie Review: A Standard Political Drama With Some Good Moments

Movie Name: Bhadrakaali
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast: Vijay Antony, Vaagai Chandrasekar, Sunil Kriplani, Riya Jitu and Others
Director: Arun Prabhu
Produced By: Vijay Antony Film Corporation, Sarvanth Ram Creations
Release Date: 12th September 2025

Vijay Antony scored a good hit earlier this year with Maargan, and he has come up with a political thriller, Bhadrakaali (Shakthi Thirumagan in Tamil). The makers also released sneak-peak of the film. Let us find out what special has this film in store for us in our review.

Story:

Kittu, played by Vijay Antony, works as a mediator in the Secretariat, managing everything from small favors to major legal issues involving top officials and politicians. His life takes a turn when he crosses paths with Abhyankar Shankar (Sunil Kriplani), a political strategist aiming for the presidency. Soon, a shocking ₹6,236 crore scam emerges with Kittu at its center, and the story revolves around uncovering his real intentions.

Performances:

Vijay Antony delivers a convincing performance in the lead role. Sunil Kriplani and Cell Murugan leave a mark, while Trupthi Ravindra still manages to draw attention despite her underwritten character. Vaagai Chandrasekar, Kiran, Rini Bot, Riya Jithu, Master Keshav, and others are adequate in their parts.

Analysis:

Director Arun Prabhu, known for Aruvi, takes charge of Bhadrakaali (Shakthi Thirumagan). From the beginning, the film does well in establishing Kittu’s world, and the moments that showcase his influence are engaging.

The interval block, which brings Kittu face-to-face with a massive financial scam, feels rushed and could have carried more weight. The second half starts on a strong note with the backstory of Kittu’s grandfather explaining the intricacies of politics, but the grip on the narrative weakens as the film moves forward.

The special officer Ram Pandey’s character lacks strength, and the casting doesn’t help. The battle of wits between Kittu, Abhyankar, and the officials never lands as effectively as it should.

The climax is predictable and ends on a flat note, adding nothing new

Positives:

  • Main Plot
  • Few Intriguing Moments In The First Half
  • Thought Provoking Dialogues Here And There

Negatives:

  • Weak Villain Character
  • Inconsistent Second Half
  • Predictable/Weak Moments

Bhadrakaali Movie Review and Verdict:

Overall, Bhadrakaali blends politics and revenge with a few interesting moments. Vijay Antony’s performance and the background score stand out, but the weak second half, preachy scenes, and weak execution of crucial scenes reduce it to an ordinary experience.

Kishkindhapuri 1st week Collections: Crosses Breakeven

Bellamkonda Sreenivas Kishkindhapuri has finished its 1st week with a gross of around ₹17 Cr at the worldwide box office. The film achieves breakeven in the 1st week itself.

The horror thriller’s breakeven is at ₹15 Cr, and the film is already a super hit and is set for a big second weekend. Despite facing the Mirai storm on the other side, the film showed a good hold at the box office.

Kishkindhapuri becomes the comeback hit for Bellamkonda Sreenivas

Bellamkonda Sreenivas had continuous failures, but he scored a solid winner with Kishkindhapuri, which achieved breakeven within the 1st week itself.

Known for Chaavu Kaburu Challaga, Koushik Pegallapati takes the director’s seat for this film. Sahu Garapati of Shine Screens produced it with music by Chaitan Bharadwaj.

OG North America Breaking Coolie

Until now, Coolie held the biggest opening in North America for Indian cinema this year, and Pawan Kalyan’s OG is all set to break it with its pre-sales.

Rajinikanth and Lokesh’s Coolie’s final pre-sales stand at $2.5 million , and it opened with $3.1 million premieres in North America. OG is all set to shatter this comfortably.

The surprising thing is even without the trailer release, the pre-sales of the film have already touched $1.85M, and it will record 2 million before the trailer release.

The film is expected to see $2.7M+ pre sales and $3.3M+ in premieres on this trend, and it can even go much bigger if the trailer cut is extraordinary.

There is no other film this year to challenge the OG opening record in North America. It will stand as the biggest opener of Indian cinema in 2025.
