Comrade Kalyan

Comrade Kalyan

2026 · AP7AM

Comrade Kalyan is a routine comedy entertainer that aims to make audiences laugh without giving much importance to logic. Although a few comedy sequences work, the film struggles because of its predictable writing, repetitive humour and lack of fresh ideas.

Mayookha

Mayookha

2026 · AP7AM

With a limited budget, Mayookha, made with a gripping story and narrative, gives complete satisfaction to those who like murder mystery and investigation thriller films. Setting aside some illogical scenes and a minor lag in the first half, Mayookha is a decent suspense murder mystery for audiences who like crime suspense thrillers.

HIT: The Third Case

HIT: The Third Case

2025 · AP7AM

Nani's attempt to break away from his soft-image roles with HIT 3 doesn't fully pay off. The film, with its excessive gore, lack of emotion, and weak storytelling, struggles to connect with audiences—particularly families and sensitive viewers. With disturbing scenes and a grim tone, HIT 3 veers away from the gripping thrillers its predecessors were and ends up as a misfire in the franchise.
