CinemaHere is a list of some of our favourite coming-of-age films made in Telugu in recent years — not just about children or adolescents, but also lost, aimless and confused adults.Screenshots from C/o Kancharapalem, Brochevarevarura and PareshanTelugu cinema has been in the spotlight lately, even more than before, with SS Rajamouli’s Rrr gaining international recognition. Even before the Baahubali films took the country by storm, Telugu action dramas got a new lease of life through their Hindi-dubbed versions on YouTube and TV channels. While these star vehicles and ‘mass entertainers’ gained more visibility, the Telugu film industry has also been producing many films on a smaller scale — slice-of-life films, crime comedies, comedy thrillers, and rom-coms that tell moving stories of ordinary people. Here is a list of some of our favourite coming-of-age films made in Telugu in recent years — not just about children or adolescents, but also lost,...

ReviewDirected by Venkata Krishna Roghanth, the film genuinely wants to make an appeal for inclusivity and connection across identities. It’s unfortunate that its ideals are let down by a badly conceived story.TwitterThe Tamil cinema industry is going through an Eelam phase it would seem. The latest addition is Yaadhum Oore Yaavarum Kelir starring Vijay Sethupathi. Condemnation from real-life Eelam Tamils, on the other hand, about how Kollywood portrays the war and genocide they survived continues to go unheard. While Yaadhum Oore breaks away from one trope that has received immense criticism – the saviour hero from across the seas in Tamil Nadu – it still flounders in telling a story that is not ours to tell. Vijay Sethupathi (popularly called Vjs) plays Punithan, an Eelam refugee with a mysterious past. He’s an aspiring musician repeatedly thwarted from achieving his dreams by the network of constricting laws in India that govern refugees,...

ReviewThe initial portions of the film are quite fun and remind you of the actor’s previous performances in films like ‘Venky', where he neither minded making self-deprecating jokes nor took himself too seriously.In Ravanasura, Ravi Teja’s character is the embodiment of the evil king Ravana. While the mythical Ravana never laid a finger on Sita despite keeping her in captivity, this Ravindra (played by Ravi Teja) proudly claims that he does not have such “ethics.” This Ravana has rape fantasies, but of course since he is the hero, filmmaker Sudheer Varma underplays this part and later makes a shoddy attempt to redeem his character with a moral justification. Ravanasura is not a bold film where Ravi Teja is experimenting with a negative character, but a regular commercial film that justifies his actions, albeit with some delay. Along with Ravi Teja, Ravanasura also stars actor Sushanth (playing Ram...

Sowmya RajendranBalaji Tharaneetharan's long delayed film Oru Pakka Kathai has finally been released on the over-the-top platform Zee5. The title translates to 'one page story', referencing his debut film Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom which means 'a few pages are missing in between'. There was Seethakathi between these two films – and while there is nothing about pages in that title, all three films revolve around bizarre events and how people grapple with them. Naduvula was about a man who suffers from temporary memory loss right before his wedding. Seethakathi was about a veteran actor whose spirit can possess others and make them exhibit his talent for histrionics. Oru Pakka Kathai meanwhile is about a young woman who gets pregnant while still being a virgin. Perhaps it is only appropriate that the film should release on Christmas day! Saravanan...
