Allu Arjun’s Aarya 3 In The Making(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Arya (2004) is widely regarded as the first major hit in Allu Arjun’s career and has since earned cult classic status. It also marked Sukumar’s directorial debut. Devi Sri Prasad’s music, composed for the film, remains popular even after two decades. Produced by Dil Raju, Arya was a significant milestone for everyone involved.

Given its success, a sequel was inevitable. Arya 2 was released in 2009, reuniting Allu Arjun, Sukumar, and Devi Sri Prasad in their original roles. However, despite the anticipation, the sequel failed to recreate the original’s magic. While not a complete failure, it didn’t quite meet the high expectations set by its predecessor. Now, nearly 15 years after the release of Arya 2, news has emerged that a third installment, Arya 3, is supposedly in the works, according to entertainment portal TeluguCinema.

Tuk Tuk Ott Release Date Update: Here’s When & Where You Can Watch This Horror Comedy Online!

Swineeth S Sukumar’s directorial “Sweetheart!” is a bloated mess of a rom-com that relies on angst to drive conflicts between its central couple. But there’s little meat in the narrative, which is organised in a pointlessly contrived schema of opening up in small chunks. Revelation works when grounded in solid characterization. That’s entirely missing in the rocky love story between Vasu (Rio Raj) and Manu (Gopika Ramesh).

Of what use are flashbacks if they don’t spike up the complexity and richness of the film? In “Sweetheart!,” the way they are used ultimately comes across as a bit of an extreme manipulation, to cover up glaring weaknesses in the writing and prop it up where it demanded serious work. Flashbacks almost drown the structure instead of lacing it with unexpected depth, a blaze of fresh knowledge that grows to unlock a character or their motivation. None of that happens,...

The following review contains no spoilers for “Pushpa 2: The Rule” apart from what is contained in teasers, trailers, and lyrical song videos. The review is based on the Telugu-language IMAX release, subtitled in English.

The question of “What is the biggest Indian film of all time” has many different potential answers. International gross? “Dangal”. Domestic? “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.” Footfalls? Likely “Sholay” or “Mughal-e-Azam”, though “Baahubali 2” has a claim there too. In a year that has been frankly disappointing for mass cinema overall, cinephiles have watched the promise of the next “1000cr Club” movie bandied about for films that struggled to earn a tenth of that amount, or whose inflated budget made even a record-breaking gross barely break even. Beloved directors known for making mass films with sophisticated twists have let down audiences with trite and outdated content and stories that seem to only exist to set up a sequel.
