Here’s Who Should Watch Naveen Chandra’s Eleven! ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Eleven is a serial killer investigation thriller shot and released simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu. To be precise, the film had its theatrical release back in May and is now available for streaming on Prime Video and on Aha (in Tamil and Telugu). Now that you know where to watch it, here’s the real question: Should you consider watching the film? Read on to find out.

Eleven is worth a one-time watch, especially for fans of crime thrillers but for the most part, the plot is quite predictable. The first half feels unnecessarily long, with the romantic track and the initial fight sequence adding little value and negatively affecting both the pacing and overall enjoyment. However, the second half is noticeably better and more engaging. One of the film’s strongest aspects is the music, composed by D. Imman,...

Serial killing is different from a murderous killing spree—the ‘serial’ in serial killing is defined by a motive, certain repeating patterns, and a sharp mastermind of a criminal pulling the strings from the dark, outwitting the legal system. Directed by Lokkesh Ajls, Eleven is truly mind-bending and an exceptional addition to the Indian thriller genre with its layered twists and turns, a cop thriller that turns subversive in the end. Featuring Naveen Chandra as Aravindan/Benjamin, the film explores themes of the inseparable bond between twins, childhood wounds, and meticulous, long-drawn odysseys of revenge.

When Can We Expect Ram Charan’s Game Changer On Ott? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Ram Charan’s much-anticipated political drama Game Changer has been making headlines ever since its theatrical release on January 10, 2025. The movie is directed by S. Shankar, best known for directing blockbusters like Anniyan, Sivaji The Boss, I, Enthiran, and 2.0. Kiara Advani starred opposite Ram Charan in the film. With a star-studded cast, a visionary director, and a hefty budget of ₹350-400 Crores, Game Changer was expected to give a great start to 2025.

However, despite its grand scale, the movie struggled to meet commercial expectations at the box office. Nonetheless, Ram Charan and Shankar fans who missed the film in theaters are eagerly awaiting its Ott debut. While the official dates for the movie have not been announced, reports strongly suggest that the movie will land on Ott sooner than fans had expected.

Game Changer Might Debut...

Directed by Shankar, the highly anticipated film Game Changer, showcases one of his signature themes— a determined protagonist challenging corrupt forces.

Featuring Ram Charan as an Ias officer on a mission to take down corrupt politicians, including a menacing character portrayed by Sj Suryah, the storyline has been crafted by Karthik Subbaraj. Kiara Advani stars as the female lead, while Anjali plays a crucial role that hints at an emotional flashback. The ensemble cast also includes Samuthirakani, Srikanth, Sunil, and Naveen Chandra.

In case you missed it here is the intriguing trailer!

Produced by Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateshwara Films in collaboration with Zee Studios, Game Changer also features brilliant music by S Thaman.

Is Ram Charan’s Game Changer Getting A Two-Week Price Hike In AP? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

The Telangana government led by Cm Revanth Reddy took action after a woman died at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad during the premiere of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 The Rule movie on December 4. The government decided not to allow future benefit shows or ticket hikes for any Tollywood movie. But with the important Sankranti season approaching, filmmakers hoped that the Andhra Pradesh government would approve ticket hikes and early shows for big-budget movies like Game Changer.

Finally, the Andhra Pradesh government responded positively to Game Changer, a film starring Ram Charan. The movie will be released on January 10 in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi worldwide in 2D and IMAX formats. The film marks Shankar’s directorial debut in Telugu. According to India Today, the government issued a special order allowing Game Changer a two-week ticket price hike.

In the vibrant world of South Indian cinema, Ammu stands out as a compelling narrative that delves deep into the shadows of toxic masculinity and patriarchal norms. Directed by Charukesh Sekar, this Telugu-language drama thriller, released on Amazon Prime Video in October 2022, offers a raw portrayal of domestic abuse and a woman’s journey to reclaim her life.

Challenging Societal Norms and Patriarchy

Ammu introduces us to Amudha, affectionately known as Ammu, portrayed by the talented Aishwarya Lekshmi. Her marriage to Ravi, a police inspector played by Naveen Chandra, initially appears idyllic. However, the facade soon crumbles, revealing Ravi‘s descent into abusive behavior—a manifestation of deep-seated patriarchal attitudes and toxic masculinity.

The film doesn’t shy away from depicting the harsh realities many women face in patriarchal societies. Ammu‘s initial silence and endurance reflect the societal pressure on women to maintain familial harmony, even at the cost of personal suffering.

Set to hit theaters worldwide on January 10, 2025 is the highly anticipated political action entertainer, Game Changer, starring Ram Charan. The actor will be seen in dual roles, portraying the dedicated Ias officer Ram Nandan. The movie directed by Shankar, also features the talented Kiara Advani, while popular South actress Anjali will make a significant appearance in a flashback sequence.

Known for creating independent and powerful female protagonists in films like Indian and Mudhalvan, Shankar once again brings his trademark storytelling to Game Changer. Kiara’s role is a refreshing departure from the typical portrayal of women in commercial cinema. While she has previously portrayed strong and graceful characters in Bollywood, this film promises a new dimension to her acting repertoire.

The makers have spared no expense in bringing Game Changer to life. The film was shot in stunning locations across Hyderabad, New Zealand, Andhra Pradesh, Mumbai, and Chandigarh, ensuring a visually stunning experience for viewers.

Review of Jigarthanda Double X: A Blaze of Political Drama and Fiery Performances(Photo Credit –IMDb)

What’s Good: The film is an authentic ‘Pandya Western’ with aesthetics, an engaging protagonist’s journey, and an enigmatic narrative core. Suryah and Lawrence deliver spectacular performances, navigating moral quandaries and evoking empathy. Karthik’s trademark layers assure sustained engagement, with nods to Tamil cinema adding an enigmatic touch.

What’s Bad: The initial 30 minutes exhibit storytelling impatience. Specific sequences, like unnecessary melodrama, disrupt the flow. CGI, especially in rendering elephants, lacks an organic feel. The second half’s abundance of messages can be overwhelming, and some scenes, like the tribal wedding, seem disconnected.

Loo Break: There is a film recording scene at the 49-minute mark.

Actress Kajal Aggarwal’s upcoming film ‘Satyabhama’ has come forth with an explosive teaser, as the actress takes the stage as a hardened cop and a blazing new figure of woman power. A powerful, determined woman, the actress’ titular character of Acp Satyabhama is shown to be suspended as the corpse of the person she had to protect was discovered inside her car. Haunted by this guilt, she is legally suspended from the case but it is far from over for her.

More determined than ever, Kajal is now targeting the culprits on her own and is shown to be a furious fighter who can take on any kind of attacker. Chasing the murderer, the teaser also cuts to scenes of forest-encounters with killers all the while she is chasing a dead lead.

But being relentless, when asked by the press whether her suspension from the case means that the case is over,...

AnalysisMainstream cinema’s rising interest in telling stories of domestic violence, and the acclaim many of these films have enjoyed, show that the audience too has evolved over the years to embrace different kinds of narratives.Sowmya RajendranUntil a few years ago, films centred on women characters were described as 'women-centric' cinema.

Ammu(Telugu, Amazon Prime)

Debutant director Charukesh Sekar’s film is not to be taken lightly. It deep-dives into the disease of domestic violence, and comes up with disturbing images of a dark unspoken tragedy which is sadly the truth behind many seemingly peaceful marriages.

Ammu rips open the happy-home façade, to expose the ugly truth within. A reviewer writing on the film grumbles about the husband Ravi(brilliantly played by Naveen Chandra) taking too long to expose his true colours. Let us disabuse the misconceptions on abuse.

If you look at Ammu, you will see the shades of your neighbour may be your cousin, she is very very relatable, you know this woman.”

Director Charukesh Sekar said that he got the inspiration for his upcoming film, ‘Ammu’, featuring actors Aishwarya Lekshmi, Naveen Chandra and Simha in the lead, from an article that claimed that domestic violence cases had increased after the lockdown.

‘Ammu’, which is slated for release on the Ott platform Prime Video, narrates the thrilling tale of a woman entangled in domestic abuse and her journey towards breaking free.

Charukesh said: “I always wanted to do female-driven stories. I am fan of such films, but the inspiration for this particular story came from an article during the pandemic in which it was reported that domestic violence cases had increased after the lockdown. It got me thinking that this is a consequence of the pandemic that you would never think of and that’s when I started reading about domestic violence.”
