Shikaaru OTT: Navigating Marriage to a Policeman While Romancing a Lover

OTT platforms have a separate fan base for bold content films and romantic comedy dramas. These genres are something some audience never misses. However, in the vast ocean of OTT, there are hundreds of films and series, with the number of movies increasing every week. In this genre a new OTT film Shikaaru is trending. Which Film Is It? The film 'Shikaaru' features Sai Dhanshika, Tej Kurapati, Abhinav Medishetti, and Dheeraj Aathreya in lead roles. Dhanshika, known for her role as Rajinikanth's daughter in 'Kabali', plays the lead in this movie. Released on July 1, 2022, the film initially received a flop talk in theaters but was soon released on the streaming platform Aha. Although it did not become a box office hit, the film is receiving positive responses on OTT. What is 'Shikaaru' About? Deepika (Sai Dhanshika) is a married woman whose husband Narasimha (Kannada Kishore), a police officer, does not satisfy her emotionally and is quite rude. While secretly preparing for exams, Deepika meets a young man named Bobby (Abhinav). Later, for work, Bobby comes to the city with friends and visits Deepika. She invites him over when her husband is not at home. However, shortly after his arrival, her husband unexpectedly returns from duty. What is Bobby's situation being trapped inside the police officer’s home? How do his three friends try to help him get out of the house? That forms the rest of the story. Director Hari Kolagani has crafted this film based on events occurring in society. He attempted to show the difficulties that young men face when they get involved with married women. At the same time, he also portrays how a married woman's heart might stray if she finds no happiness or joy in her life. Despite the heroine Deepika not having any intention to err, circumstances force her to take certain actions. The daily torment from her husband and the lack of happiness in her marriage lead to new thoughts in her mind. Director Hari has focused more on adult content, incorporating many elements that attract youth. However, uninteresting narration and boring scenes have turned out to be negatives for the film.

Bhagavanth Kesari Review: Balayya’s Emotional Brilliance

Nandamuri Natasimham Balayya’s latest offering, 'Bhagavanth Kesari', opened in theaters today, exuding the sentimental vibes of a father-daughter relationship. Following his streak of hits like Akhanda and Veerasimha Reddy, Balakrishna collaborates with Anil Ravipudi, creating heightened anticipation among audiences. But does the movie live up to these expectations? Let’s delve into the review. Starring: Balakrishna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sreeleela, Arjun Rampal, Sarathkumar Director: Anil Ravipudi Producer: Sahu Garapati, Harish Peddi Cinematography: C.Ramprasad Music: Thaman, Release date: October 19 Story: Bhagwant Kesari finds himself in jail due to some unforeseen circumstances and is given responsibility by the jailer. He's asked to protect the jailer’s daughter from dangerous people. Kesari makes it his mission to strengthen her defenses, but the girl, Vizzy Papa (Sreeleela), seems uninterested and wishes to be left alone. In a defining moment, Balayya steps up against villains threatening the girl, leading to unexpected developments. What exactly are these twists? What animosity do the villains hold against the jailer? Did Kesari fulfill his promise? Find out the answers by watching the movie in theaters. How is it? The film promises a mix of comedy and poignant emotional scenes between Balakrishna and Sreeleela, striking a chord with the audience. The film doesn’t quite mirror Balayya’s previous cinematic renditions, oscillating between light-hearted and emotionally charged moments, predominantly spotlighting the father-daughter sentiment. Who did it? Balakrishna, usually synonymous with action-packed performances, unveils a refreshing facet through his poignant portrayal of emotional sequences, fostering a tear-jerking cinematic experience. Sreeleela’s portrayal of Vijju breathes life into her character, promising her a landmark achievement in her nascent career. Direction: Anil Ravipudi, notable for his comedic brilliance, ventures into the realm of action emotional entertainer with Balayya, showcasing a narrative imbued with strength despite craving a touch more emotional depth. Technical Aspects: On the technical front, the film scores high with Thaman’s mellifluous music and Sriram Prasad’s captivating cinematography, although the background score seems slightly underwhelming compared to previous offerings. Strengths: Compelling emotional exchanges between Balakrishna and SreeleelaRiveting action sequencesA gripping interval Weaknesses: Initial segments that somewhat miss the markLengthy scenes in parts Conclusion: Navigating through sporadic shortcomings, the movie crafts a tapestry of emotions, primarily focusing on the father-daughter dynamic, ensuring a heartfelt connection with the audience. Rating: 3/5
