War 2 at 35 Cr, Kingdom at 15 Cr in Nizam

Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2, along with Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom, are the upcoming films being released by producer Naga Vamsi in Nizam, with a two-week gap. While War 2 is sold for 35 Cr, Kingdom’s business stands at 15 Cr in Nizam.

Everyone knows about the mammoth hype that Yash Raj Films’ War 2 has among audiences. The North-South combination will do wonders at the box office, and the presence of NTR will bring big numbers in Telugu.

Naga Vamsi releases War 2 and Kingdom in Nizam

Because of such a huge craze, Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2 is said to be quoted at 35 Cr NRA (Non Refundable Advance) in Nizam, while Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom is at 15 Cr NRA. 

Reportedly, the deal is almost finalized with SVC- Dil Raju. While Mythri is also in the race, the industry buzz is that most likely, both films will be with the Bommarillu producer only.

Shankar’s Velpari Awaits Producer Backing

Director Shankar has been rewarded as the best filmmaker of South Indian Cinema for many years. Two films, Indian 2 and Game Changer, changed his image, and now, Shankar’s dream project, Velpari, awaits a producer’s backing.

Set to be made as a three-part film, Velpari was already announced by the Enthiran director as his biggest project. He also finished the script work.

If Indian 2 and Game Changer had succeeded at the box office, this film could have been officially announced. But because of those failures, Shankar’s dream project, Velpari, awaits a producer’s backing.

Velpari will be the Pride of Tamil/Indian Cinema: Shankar

In the latest public event, the veteran director once again mentioned that Velpari is his dream project.

He said that Enthiran was his previous dream project, but Velpari is his dream film now. It has the scope to introduce new technologies, like Game of Thrones and Avatar, and it has all the chances to become a proud Indian-Tamil film.

Finding a producer for such a massive project looks definitely tough for Shankar now. We need to wait and see whether the director will wait for a producer for the mega biggie, or if he chooses any other film.

Maalik Movie Review: Rajkummar Rao Could Not Rescue This Dull And Dragged-Out Gangster Flick

Maalik Movie Review: Rajkummar Rao Could Not Rescue This Dull And Dragged-Out Gangster Flick

Movie Name: Maalik
Rating: 2/5
Cast: Rajkummar Rao, Manushi Chhillar, Anshumaan Pushkar, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Huma Qureshi, Swanand Kirkire, and others
Director: Pulkit
Produced By: Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani
Release Date: 11th July 2025

After a not-so-good result with Bhool Chuk Maaf, Rajkummar Rao has come up with Maalik, a gangster action-thriller in theatres. This film is all about the story of a man’s ambition, strength, and survival set in Allahabad in 1988.

Story:

In the rough streets of late ’80s Allahabad (now called Prayagraj, but pronounced Illahabad in the movie), ‘Maalik’ follows Deepak’s (Rajkummar Rao) tough and unstoppable journey from being a farmer’s kid to becoming an underworld boss.

Performances:

Rajkummar Rao gives one of his most natural performances yet. Although the film and script lack character depth, he injects intensity into each scene. Anshumaan Pushkar is good.

Prosenjit Chatterjee begins strong as the tough cop, but quickly falls into clichés. Manushi Chhillar’s talent feels wasted on this insignificant character.

The role of Saurabh Shukla remains underexploited, featuring prominently in only a handful of scenes, whereas Saurabh Sachdeva and Swanand Kirkire do not have much scope to excel.

Analysis:

Maalik takes us back to late 80s Allahabad, following Deepak’s journey from a farmer’s kid to a powerful don. This flick throws together politics, law, and violence, yet it feels so predictable and overdone.

Director Pulkit has a smooth style, but the story gets bogged down in clichés. The technical elements shine, but the writing needs to be clearer.

You won’t fully understand how Deepak transforms into Maalik because the movie just tells you about his journey rather than illustrating it.

The way Maalik interacts with his wife, parents, and rivals feels super predictable and dull; nothing really stands out.

The first few episodes grab your attention, but then the storytelling gets a bit dull until it picks up again with the mid-season episode.

The second half loses its pace and starts to feel repetitive, with every other scene showing the Hero getting attacked.

Those final 20-30 minutes stretch out way too long, and the violence just feels empty, like bullets are flying for no reason.

Positives:

  • Rajkummar Rao’s Performance
  • Background Music
  • Interval episode

Negatives:

  • Outdated Plot
  • Not So Striking Hero Characterization
  • Weak Villains
  • Action Sequences do not have the intended effect

Maalik Movie Review and Verdict:

Maalik is an outdated gangster drama. Even though Rajkumar Rao gives a great performance and there are some thrilling parts, the rest of it is just too boring and falls flat.

Monica from Coolie: An Energetic Banger

For a few days, the buzz around the special song, Monica, starring Pooja Hegde from Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie, has caught up on social media. Monica from Coolie is another energetic banger from Anirudh.

This is the first time that there is a special song with a heroine in Lokesh’s films. The expectations were high, as everyone expected it to be better than Tamannaah’s Kaavalayya in Jailer.

Pooja Hegde and Anirudh deliver an energetic banger with Monica

Monica from Coolie is another energetic banger from Anirudh, as it has the energetic vibe expected from the young composer.

The song is set in a port area, where we see Pooja Hegde raising the heat with her moves alongside Malayalam actor-director Soubin Shahir. 

Reportedly, Soubin’s character is part of Nagarjuna’s gang, and the latter is also said to be in the song, but the team did not show his footage, as they kept it for theaters.

The lyrics for this banger song were penned by Vishnu Edavan, while Subhashini and Anirudh gave their vocals. With each update, Coolie’s buzz is going to the next level.

The movie is slated for a grand release on August 14, 2025, clashing with Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2. Backed by Sun Pictures, this action drama also stars Aamir Khan, Sathyaraj, Upendra, and Shruti Hassan in pivotal roles.

Sanjay Dutt Disappointed With Leo, Angry at Lokesh Kangaraj

Sanjay Dutt visited Chennai with the KD—The Devil (the upcoming Kannada movie) cast for a promotional event. During the interaction, Sanjay Dutt said that he was disappointed with Leo and angry at Lokesh Kanagaraj.

The Bollywood actor said it in a very lighthearted manner, but everyone who watched the film will understand that his character was poorly written.

Bollywood Actor Sanjay Dutt Disappointed With Lokesh Kanagaraj/Leo

In Leo, Sanjay portrayed Antony Das, the father of Leo/Parthiban, played by Thalapathy Vijay. The actor also said that he has good rapport with megastars Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, and Ram Pothineni.

As said above, though the Khalnayak actor made a funny statement, social media is abuzz with the news of Sanjay Dutt being disappointed with Leo and angry at Lokesh Kanagaraj regarding his character.

Sanjay said, “I am angry at Lokesh because he did not give me a big role. He wasted me… I love Ajith, sir. I am a close friend of his. I have watched several of Rajini sir’s films. I am looking forward to watching Coolie. I will also watch Thug Life for Kamal sir.”

Directed by Prem, KD-The Devil is an upcoming big-budget Kannada movie starring Dhruv Sarja as the lead.

Set to be released on September 4, 2025, the film includes stars like Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind, Sanjay Dutt, Shilpa Shetty, and Reeshma Nanaiah in crucial roles.
