\r\nDirector S. S. Rajamouli\'s highly anticipated film, Baahubali: The Epic, has finally arrived on Netflix, combining his two blockbuster movies, Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion, into a single edited version.

Many expected the Telugu version to be available first or at least along with the Hindi version, but there\'s been no update from the makers or the production house regarding the Telugu version\'s OTT release. The film stars Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Ramya Krishnan, with music composed by M. M. Keeravani.\r\nAndhra King Taluka, starring Ram Pothineni and Bhagyashri Borse, has made its digital debut on Netflix. The film, directed by Mahesh Babu Pachigolla, received decent reports but had an underwhelming theatrical run. With its OTT release, the film is expected to find a more receptive audience. Andhra King Taluka is available in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, expanding its pan-Indian presence on OTT.\r\nThe film\'s supporting cast includes Rajeev Kanakala, Rao Ramesh, Murali Sharma, and Rahul Ramakrishna, with music composed by Vivek&ndash;Mervin. As the film\'s OTT performance is being closely watched, fans are eager to see how it will fare in the digital space.\r\n

Director: Phani Pradeep Dhulipudi (Munna)
Producer: Sasidhar Nalla, Emmadi Soma Nararaiah, Ramisetti Rambabu, Ravula Ramesh.
Actors: Anchal Gowda, Payal Chengappa, Roshini, and Yashna etc..&nbsp;
Release Date: Thu 25th Dec 2025.&nbsp;

Bad Girlz Introduction&nbsp;&nbsp;
Bad Girlz is pitched as a full-on youthful comedy entertainer, mixing girls-trip fun, crime elements, and a dose of emotion toward the climax. Directed by Phani Pradeep Dhulipudi (Munna), the film largely relies on its humor, pacing, and quartet of female leads to engage today&rsquo;s youth.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bad Girlz Story Line&nbsp;&nbsp;

The film follows four girls &mdash; Rosy Reddy, Malleswari, Mercy, and Venkat Laxmi &mdash; who share a hostel life in Hyderabad. As two of them get engaged to John and Naidu, the gang decides to live it up one last time and plan a spinster vacation to Malaysia with the help of their elder sister Sravanthi. Their fun trip turns chaotic when a notorious criminal, Anaconda, plans a bombing in Malaysia, while a women trafficking gang simultaneously targets the four friends. How the girls tackle these threats and come out of danger forms the rest of the narrative, blending comedy, suspense, and a late emotional punch.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bad Girlz Actors&rsquo; Performances&nbsp;&nbsp;

The four leads &mdash; Anchal Gowda, Payal Chengappa, Roshini, and Yashna &mdash; give energetic performances and share good on-screen chemistry, carrying much of the film&rsquo;s fun factor. Their reactions, bonding, and comic timing help keep the proceedings lively. Moin and Rohan Surya support them with solid humor, adding to the film&rsquo;s comic flavour.&nbsp;

Renu Desai will be seen Strong Role, Raja Ravindra as a Malaysian cop, Thagubothu Ramesh in a couple of scenes, and Bigg Boss fame Sravanthi Chokarapu in a key role do what is required of them, contributing to the lighter moments and plot progression.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bad Girlz Technicians&rsquo; Work&nbsp;&nbsp;

Anup Rubens&rsquo; music is a major plus &mdash; the songs and background score add energy and elevate both fun and emotional beats. The lyrics by Oscar Chandra Bose suit the tone and make the songs more appealing. Arli Ganesh&rsquo;s cinematography gives the film a clean, glossy look, with Malaysia&rsquo;s visuals standing out.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Production values are decent, with around 90% of the film shot in Malaysia, giving it a richer visual texture than a typical small/mid-budget comedy. While the core story is routine, the screenplay and comedy punches by director Phani Pradeep Dhulipudi help maintain engagement, especially in the second half.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bad Girlz Highlights&nbsp;&nbsp;

- Anup Rubens&rsquo; music and background score&nbsp;

- Lyrics by Oscar Chandra Bose

- Malaysia locations and visuals

- A few well-timed comedy episodes

- Climax twist with a heart-touching emotional angle

Bad Girlz Drawbacks&nbsp;&nbsp;

- Routine and predictable storyline

- A weak, uneven first half that takes time to settle&nbsp;&nbsp;

- Language slang and diction of some lead actors may feel a bit odd or distracting at times&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bad Girlz Analysis&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bad Girlz works best when it stays in fun, quirky mode, focusing on the four friends, their banter, and the absurdity of their situation abroad. The combo of comedy and thriller elements is familiar, but the director&rsquo;s treatment and pacing in the latter half keep it reasonably engaging. Emotional layering toward the climax gives the film some weight beyond plain comedy.&nbsp;&nbsp;

However, the formulaic story, slow start, and occasional tonal imbalance stop it from becoming a standout entertainer. It ends up as a time-pass comedy caper that will work mainly for viewers who enjoy light-hearted, twist-filled rides and don&rsquo;t mind a predictable plot.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bad Girlz Bottom Line&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bad Girlz is a decent one-time watch: a moderately entertaining comedy-thriller with good music, colourful visuals, and a few solid laughs, let down by a routine story and a patchy first half.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rating: 2.5/5

He is authentic as a footballer transforming his look and physique for the role. He delivered dialogues with ease and showed variations according to the situation emoting and expressing well showing his acting talent.\r\nAnaswara Rajan performed well in her role making her presence felt in emotional scenes with her expressions and emotions. She looked good on the screen. She dubs for herself and leaves impact in a limited role.\r\nThe film featured many actors and Nandamuri Kalyan Chakravarthy makes his return with an important role. But his role could have been more powerful. Same goes with Kay Kay Menon too.&nbsp;\r\nOthers like Avantika, Hyper Aadi, Santosh Pratap, Bhavani Neerati, Kruthi Kanj Singh Rathoda, Edward Sonnenblick did justice to their roles.

He came up with a sports based entertainer in the backdrop of pre Independence era to capture the imagination of all. Many sports based films came in Telugu but none touched the backdrop of football. They dealt with cricket, kabaddi and even rugby.\r\nPradeep Advaitham deserves credit to think something out of the box. He starts the narration in an interesting manner establishing Nizam decision to merge with Pakistan and Indian Government delaying its action.&nbsp;\r\nThe blend of historical backdrop and fictional elements works well. The war sequences, especially the interval block and the pre-climax, are well executed. The emotional moments are handled well, aided by well placed songs that add depth to the narrative. The second half goes off track with monotonous elements.&nbsp; But with rich technicalities the film hold the attention of viewers and get back on track towards the pre climax and climax. he director tried to connect chords with telangana sentiment highlighting the fight against the Razakars effectively.\r\nMadhie\'s cinematography is captivating. He showed the scenes in a natural and realistic manner. He used the pre Independence era scenes in an authentic manner. The football scenes are shown in an effective manner connecting chords with the viewers.&nbsp;\r\nMickey J Meyer with his background score added value to the narration. He elevated the scenes carrying viewers into the storyline with the music and also built&nbsp; tension with his background score during the football matches. The songs are situational and are placed in such a way that they do not impact the flow of the narration. The songs are shot in an appealing manner.&nbsp;\r\nKotagiri Venkateswara Rao\'s editing is ok but there are few scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. The lengthy runtime turned out to be an issue for the film. Dialogues are powerful and effective at times.&nbsp;\r\nProduction values of Swapna Cinema, Zee Studios, Anandi Art Creations, Concept Films are grand.\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Champion (2025) Movie: Advantages</h2>\r\n<ul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Roshan</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">War Sequences</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Cinematography</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">BGM</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Champion (2025) Movie: Disadvantages</h2>\r\n<ul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Weak Characterisations</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Slow Pace in second half</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Champion (2025) Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>\r\nAltogether, Champion turns out to be a decent outing with strong technical values and neat blend of historic events with fictional elements.. Pradeep Advaitham, came up with a captivating and challenging subject, handles it competently. His and Roshan Meka\'s hard work is visible through out the film. Though a stronger emotional grip could have elevated the film further. Champion is a sincere attempt of depicting period war drama based on true event that blends sports with history in an engaging manner. Even though the film falters in emotional depth at places, its strong performances, technical finesse, and rich production values make it a watchable theatrical experience. Considering all these elements,&nbsp;Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Champion.

The Andhra Pradesh government is set to introduce a new policy to regulate movie ticket price hikes, aiming to balance the interests of the film industry and common audiences. Cinematography Minister Kandula Durgesh announced that a uniform category based system will replace the current budget based pricing model.

The government is considering increasing ticket prices equally across predefined categories, rather than individual film budgets. A committee is discussing ticket pricing for high budget films, gathering opinions from producers, distributors, and exhibitors. The goal is to support the film industry without burdening audiences.

The Telangana government has already ruled out ticket price hikes, citing no plans for increases in the near future. It's unclear if Andhra Pradesh's new policy will influence Telangana's stance on the issue. A comprehensive government order is expected soon, aiming to simplify ticket pricing and promote the growth of the film industry. The policy will consider factors like production costs, artist remuneration, and tourist development.

The move is part of Andhra Pradesh's efforts to become a major film production hub, with incentives for producers and support for the television industry. With several big films releasing during Sankranti, the new policy's timing is eagerly awaited.
