ReviewIt’s refreshing to have a Kollywood film interested in the darkness in its characters rather than sticking to a conventional hero-villain formula. Unfortunately, an uneven screenplay lets ‘Selfie’ down.Bharathy SingaravelScreengrabWhat is the human cost of a scam plaguing our educational institutions – the selling off of seats to desperate students and parents? Selfie by debutant director Mathi Maran is an attempt to tell this story and tell it with heart. Gv Prakash (Gvp as he’s popularly known) leads the film as Kanal, one of the countless youngsters in real life forced into an engineering course due to family pressure rather than personal enthusiasm. While his passions lie elsewhere, a disinterested Kanal is strong-armed into joining engineering and discovers quickly to his chagrin that his father (Vaigai Chandrashekar) has landed the family in debt to pay for the seat. Instead of giving Gvp a self-righteous path in the story from here onwards,...

Tollywood Here's a list of the big and small budget releases and where you can watch them. Rajeswari ParasaCourtesy..TwitterThis year, the Covid-19 pandemic and the consequent lockdown hit several industries in different ways. The film industry is no exception. Theatres were shut down across the country in mid-March and reopened only in the month of December. In the meantime, movies which were scripted, planned and executed for a large scale release on the silver screen had to settle for Over-the-Top (Ott) platforms. And this decision was not a piece of cake for producers, as they had to mull over the pros and cons, what with the uncertainty of when normalcy would return on one side and the financial pressure on the other. Several Telugu movies released across Ott platforms in this period, skipping a theatrical release. Many of them are small budget films but a few big budget ones too took the Ott route.

ReviewYou’d be forgiven for wondering if the film is about quintuplets attached to the hip because the characters go together absolutely everywhere. Sowmya RajendranThe best thing about Kannada horror film Mane Number 13, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, is that it is short. Inspired by films such as I Know What You Did Last Summer, the most horror you will experience while watching the film is that so many people actually spent their time, money and energy making something as ridiculous as this. Five bumbling characters – three men and two women – find themselves in a spooky mansion two years after they were involved in a certain incident. You’d be forgiven for wondering if the film is about quintuplets attached to the hip because these five characters, played by Ramana, Varsha Bollamma, Aishwarya Gowda, Praveen Prem and Sanjeiv, go absolutely everywhere together.

New Delhi, Nov 26 (Ians) Telugu actor Anand Deverakonda has opened up on comparisons drawn between him and his superstar brother Vijay Deverakonda, saying it sometimes bothers him a little but does not hurt or affect him.
"The comparisons will always be there because we are brothers and we are very close in age. We are only two-and-a-half years apart. I saw my brother more than my parents because we grew up in the same boarding school. So, the similarities will be there because our thought processes are similar," Anand told Ians.
Anand's new film "Middle Class Melodies" recently dropped digitally, and he says his choices as an actor are different from his brother's.
"The kind of cinema we are doing are very different. He is now in the big league. He is doing 'space' cinema. He has audiences that are waiting to see him sometimes more than the film. For me,...

MollywoodWhile the male characters are believable, the women are poorly written.CrisIn a really distant, broad and squinting view, Mandharam might remind you a tad bit of Premam and an even lesser bit of the Hindi film Rockstar. Which essentially means the hero is going through different stages of life, and romances. Sometimes, the simplicity of everyday lines and getting right the senseless conversations between friends can make a script quite enjoyable. That’s what Mandharam does for most of the first half. Unfortunately, the promise of the first half fades away in the second. Rajesh (Asif Ali) is a pretty romantic boy even as a child - he wants to know the meaning of ‘I love you’, a line that he hears Mohanlal say in a movie. For a while, you might think this is yet another Mohanlal fan’s movie, with more ‘Lalettan’ lines coming into the conversations,...

On her debut in the Malayalam film industry, this Nazriya look-alike has been quoted as saying: “Acting in a Malayalam movie was totally a different experience. Here everything is different, even the acting style. Neither the director nor viewers expect overacting. Everything needs to be real. That is the beauty of Malayalam movies. You won’t see any over-the-top expressions or unwanted dialogues here. So I was very relaxed and could do it without any pressure.” In Kalyanam, Varsha was paired opposite Shravan, son of actor Mukesh. Incidentally, the film marked Shravan’s acting debut as well. On working with the Kalyanam crew, Varsha said that everyone was so helpful that she could complete the shooting with ease. She also pointed out that Asha Aravind, who plays her mother in the film, helped her with the Malayalam translation making things easier. The actor also has another film lined up for release. Titled Mandaram, she shares screen space with Asif Ali in the film. Varsha reveals that the story will revolve around the lead star, spanning over 25 years of his life. The film is being directed by Vijesh Vijay. Varsha Bollamma is certainly on a roll with a number of films coming her way, from both Kollywood as well as Mollywood.
