Directed by Ani. I.V. Sasi, Uppu Kappurambu is a lighthearted comedy starring Keerthy Suresh and Suhas in the lead roles. The story is about a village where people faced a crisis when the graveyard ran out of space. Nobody knew how to tackle such a peculiar problem, and the village chieftain, who had just assumed office, also found herself in a fix. So let’s discover whether the villagers found a solution and what challenges they faced during the process.

Spoiler Alert

What was the issue with the village cemetery land?

Chitti Jayapuram had a rather fascinating history, and it played a key role in the lives of the village folks. Once upon a time, the ruler of the area faced a great conflict when his kingdom was hit by a deadly famine. The priest back then told him that, in order to appease the gods, they all should offer something.

Amazon’s Uppu Kappurambu is a hard nut to crack. This dark droll comedy has the petite Keerthy Suresh attempting physical comedy for the first time.

And it’s a sight for our eyes. Keerthy flails her fragile limbs, shakes her midriff and dances like Govinda with a sprained ankle. She is Apoorva, the head sarpanch of the village which is about to run out of grave spots for the dead.

Dig that? Now comes the clincher. Apoorva who keeps getting tips from her dead dad (he too behaves like he has just seen a ghost) on how to run a village filled with seething dimwits who make so many faces in the camera, it feels like a satire for the highschool of the specially abled.

To extract humour out of death is not an easy task. Comedy is a grave matter in this original but frequently over-underlined film. Director Ani.

Prime Video dropped the exciting finale episode of its biggest reality series, The Traitors, and the winners are…

After nine captivating episodes filled with deception, betrayals, and shocking eliminations, the finale delivered a jaw-dropping payoff as Uorfi Javed and Nikita Luther emerged victorious—proving that even innocents can win a game built on Dhokha. Claiming the coveted title and a large cash prize, the duo outwitted the Traitors with a powerful mix of instinct and strategy. Hosted by Karan Johar and filmed at the stunning Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, the finale capped off a thrilling season filled with explosive confrontations, evolving alliances, and edge-of-the-seat gameplay.

Collaborating with leading independent distributor All3Media International for the local adaptation of Idtv’s BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning global format that is produced by BBC Studios India Productions, The Traitors brought together 20 celebrity players, including Anshula Kapoor, Apoorva, Ashish Vidyarthi, Elnaaz Nourouzi, Harsh Gujral, Jannat Zubair,...

There is an endearingly weird quality in how “Uppu Kappurambu” opens. Streaming on Prime Video, director Ani I.V. Sasi’s film dares to aspire to a divergent brand of comedy. Alas, it does not fully embrace that ambitious courage. In spite of a few flashes of individualistic brilliance, the Telugu comedy movie, starring Keerthy Suresh and Suhas, only half-commits to its quirks. It drops the ball on its delicately humorous premise and pulls its punches for a safer, more accessible version of its potential. The result is a passably entertaining comedy that plays with quirkiness, which is bound to be felt like a missed opportunity.

Written by Vasanth Maringanti, “Uppu Kappurambu” has us smack dab in the middle of a zany take on life’s most morbid reality: death. We are in the fictional village ‘Chitti Jayapuram.’ Despite the village’s dominant faith being Hinduism, Chitti Jayapuram has one oddity...

The drama gets way too real, and the stakes even more so. While the players enter the palace ready to outsmart, outplay, and outlast everyone else, all their strategies go out the window the moment I choose the traitors from amongst them. So,...

The Traitors Trailer Review Ft. Karan Johar & 20 Contestants!

Just when we were facing a dearth of good celebrity reality shows, not because of the lack of reality shows, but because of the lack of celebs being interested in participating in such shows. But Karan Johar is bringing an entire galaxy of stars to one gaming reality show – The Traitors!

The trailer for this reality show has been dropped by Prime Video, which clearly sets the premise that 20 stars will align together to play a game called ‘Qaatil Kaun.’ While three have been chosen as the murderers, others have to decode and find out who that is. In the meantime, the three murderers will kill the seekers one by one!

As the game begins, there have to be obvious fights, groups, and betrayals! The spice level of all of these is definitely better than that of Panipuri. We see catfights between...

Trailer For ‘The Traitors India’

“This game is going to be played like chess. I want to be on the king’s side,” says rapper Raaftar, a contestant in the reveal trailer for India’s version of The Traitors. Ahead of its launch on Prime Video on June 12, The Traitors India has unveiled its look, with 20 players attempting to identify the betrayers among them at the stunning Suryagarh Palace in Rajasthan. Taking its cues from the UK and U.S. versions, which are filmed at Scotland’s Ardross Castle, the contestants will experience the red cloaks, oversized tasks and star-centered roundtable. Host is Karan Johar, with famous Indian stars Purav Jha, Karan Kundrra, Harsh Gujral, Ashish G Vidyarthi, Apoorva aka Rebel Kid, Uorfi Javed, Jasmine Bhasin, Lakshmi Manchu, Raftaar, Elnaaz Norouzi, Nikita Luther, Anshula Kapoor, Raj Kundra, Janvi Gaur, Maheep Kapoor, Jannat Zubair, Mukesh Chhabra, Sudhanshu Pandey, Sahil Salathia and Sufi Motiwala competing.

True strength shines through in tough times. For Apoorva Mukhija, known as The Rebel Kid, the recent drama surrounding India’s Got Latent took a heavy toll on her life. The backlash resulted in intense online harassment, death threats, and even threats of acid attacks, forcing her to leave her Mumbai apartment and temporarily stay with a friend for her safety.

Yet, through all the chaos, Apoorva’s spirit remains intact. She has launched a new series called “Finding Happiness Again,” where she shares her journey of healing and personal growth. This series showcases her determination to rise above the obstacles and connect with her audience through her experiences.

Apoorva’s tale is one of bravery and resilience. She has candidly talked about how the controversy affected her mental health, including experiencing sleep paralysis from fear. However, with the unwavering support of her close friends, she found the courage to keep going.

Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as ‘The Rebel Kid,’ has made a bold return to social media following a period of silence triggered by massive online hate and threats. After facing immense backlash over her appearance in the controversial episode of ‘India’s Got Latent’, Apoorva disappeared from the public eye, only to return recently with a deeply emotional and defiant message.

In her comeback post, she bravely revealed the scale of harassment she has endured — including countless rape, acid attack, and death threats. Her caption, ‘This is not even 1%’, accompanying screenshots of abusive messages, illustrates just a glimpse of the overwhelming hate she received. Her intention in returning wasn’t just to resume content creation, but to confront and expose the toxic culture that thrives online.

The backlash initially stemmed from a controversial conversation in which certain remarks sparked public outrage. However, what followed went far beyond criticism. Apoorva found herself...

Chad Stahelski is a busy guy. Despite boasting one of the longest production slates in Hollywood, he’s also recently jumped in to oversee reshoots for Ballerina, the delayed John Wick spin-off film. Plus, last we heard, he was in Scotland location scouting as pre-production ramps up on his Highlander remake which is set to shoot early next year.

This week’s release marks one of the first times a mainstream Hindi-language film partners with a Hollywood studio for a theatrical release in North America and the United Kingdom. “Kill is one of the most vivid, wild, and creative action movies I’ve seen recently,” said 87Eleven Entertainment’s Chad Stahelski.

Described as India’s goriest and most intensely violent film, Kill is a balls-to-the-wall action thriller with villains looking like chunks of Swiss cheese after a flurry of creative stab wounds and neck snaps.

Nikhil Nagesh Bhat directs Kill from a script he wrote with Ayesha Syed. The plot revolves around a passenger on a train to New Delhi. The train soon becomes a combat battleground as a pair of commandos face an army of invading bandits. What was supposed to be a leisurely trek turns into a claustrophobic bloodbath, with death and destruction filling every car along a fast-moving train.

Lionsgate and Roadside...

Talk about an itchy trigger finger. Lionsgate is teaming up with Chad Stahelski and his 87Eleven production banner to produce an English-language remake of the Hindi action movie “Kill,” which hasn’t even opened domestically yet. It hits theaters on July 4.

Nikhil Nagesh Bhat wrote and directed the upcoming “Kill,” and as we wrote just this month, it’s basically “Bullet Train” with more knives — and we’re all here for that. It’s one of the first times a mainstream Hindi-language film directly partnered with a Hollywood studio for its North-American theatrical release.

No director or cast has been set for the remake. The good news is Stahelski is clearly a fan of the original.

“’Kill’ is one of the most vivid, wild, and creative action movies I’ve seen recently,” he said in a statement. “Nikhil delivers relentless action sequences that need to be seen by as wide an audience as possible.

Ahead of this week’s release of the ultra-violent Indian action film Kill, Lionsgate announced today that 87Eleven Entertainment, the production company behind the billion-dollar John Wick franchise and the upcoming Highlander film, will produce an English-language remake of the film.

Kill releases only in theaters on July 4, 2024 from Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions.

In Lionsgate’s new action-thriller, “When army commando Amrit (Lakshya) finds out his true love Tulika (Tanya Maniktala) is engaged against her will, he boards a New Delhi-bound train in a daring quest to derail the arranged marriage. But when a gang of knife-wielding thieves led by the ruthless Fani (Raghav Juyal) begin to terrorize innocent passengers on his train, Amrit takes them on himself in a death-defying kill-spree to save those around him — turning what should have been a typical commute into an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride.”

Starring newcomer Lakshya alongside Raghav Juyal and Tanya Maniktala, the extreme action film made its world premiere at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival as a Midnight Madness selection and played earlier this year at the Tribeca Film Festival.

In the film, star-crossed lovers Tulika (Maniktala) and Amrit (Lakshya) find their clandestine relationship jeopardized after Tulika’s family whisks her aboard the Rajdhani Express bound for New Delhi and an arranged marriage.

The Kannada film Blink, directed by Srinidhi Bengaluru, has a truly unique storyline, unlike anything I’ve seen before in Indian cinema, blending elements of time travel and Greek mythology. It also pays tribute to folk artists and theater performers as well. The film centers around Apoorva, who is insecure about his future. The plot shows us his past life, where after meeting a mysterious man and experimenting with time travel, Apoorva discovers the shocking truth about his father, which changes everything he thought he knew. Even though we know that Blink is Srinidhi Bengaluru’s debut project, how he has blended past and present with mystery, drama, and sci-fi elements is truly something else. While the plot of the Kannada film seems quite complex, I’ll try to explain it as clearly as possible in Blink’s explainer.
