For directors, he&rsquo;s an Avatar. We&rsquo;re just humans.&rdquo; , &ldquo;I feel the entire family can come together to watch this film. Three hours, seventeen minutes just flew away. I watched the film alone, but I didn&rsquo;t feel lonely at all. I felt transported to Pandora, to a different world. I didn&rsquo;t even notice who was or wasn&rsquo;t around me.&rdquo;\r\nHe continued &ldquo;It has as much emotion as Telugu movies do. Every frame has that much emotion. The emotion between the characters is always flowing. The main characters, Jake, Neytiri or Varang, or Spider&hellip;I was constantly immersed in them. Some moments even made me tear up. This movie delivers a proper theatrical experience.&rdquo;\r\nHe concluded&nbsp; &ldquo;James Cameron&rsquo;s films aren&rsquo;t meant to be watched on TV. The visuals are meant for the big screen. You won&rsquo;t get this experience anywhere except for the theatres.&rdquo;\r\nSukumar also reviewed, Ranveer Singh\'s Dhurandhar directed by Aditya Dhar which is going great guns at the box office.

\'Bad Girlz\' is an entertainer directed by Phani Pradeep Dhulipudi, who has previously directed the successful \'30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela\'. The film is being produced under the banners of Prashvitha Entertai9ment, Neeli Neeli Aakasam Creations, and NVL Creations.\r\nAnchal Gowda, Payal Chengappa, Roshini, Yashna, Rohan Surya, Moin and Rohan Surya are the main actors in \'Bad Girlz\'. The tagline for the film, \'Kani Chala Manchodlu\', contradicts with the title in an interesting way. Sasidhar Nalla, Emmadi Soma Narsaiah, Ramisetti Rambabu, and Ravula Ramesh are producing this film.\r\nThe film is slated for release as a Christmas gift on December 25.\r\nToday, the teaser of this film was released by Buchi Babu Sana, director of Ram Charan&rsquo;s upcoming pan-India film Peddi. Speaking on the occasion, the talented filmmaker said that he knows the story of Bad Girlz and that it\'s quite interesting. \"The climax is highly emotional. When I was working as an assistant director under Sukumar garu, Munna used to come to him, narrate the stories he had written, and get them approved. Back then, I used to think that Munna would surely become a director, and that I should become one too. Just like how the song &lsquo;Nee Kallu Neeli Samudram&rsquo; from my film Uppena became a chartbuster, the song &lsquo;Neeli Neeli Aakasham&rsquo; is an even bigger hit. Music director Anup Rubens has given wonderful songs for this film as well. I am a big fan of the songs from the film Manam. In this movie, Renu Desai garu plays an important role. The fact that she agreed to do this film itself shows how good the story is. The movie releases on December 25&mdash;do watch it without fail.&rdquo;\r\nDirector Phani Pradeep Dhulipudi said, &ldquo;Our Bad Girlz is a complete entertainer. If hilarious films like Jathi Ratnalu and MAD were made with girls in the lead, they would have been like Bad Girlz. It\'s a refreshing movie. We released the teaser today to give an idea of what our movie is like. I am very happy that the teaser is out at the hands of my well-wisher, Buchi Babu Sana garu. Whether I am facing difficulties or experiencing happiness, the first person I share it with is him. When I narrated the story of this film to him, he appreciated its content. I strongly believe our movie will be liked by everyone. We are releasing our film as a Christmas gift on December 25. It is a good entertainer. Anup Rubens garu has provided excellent music, and \'Oscar\' Chandra Bose garu has written the lyrics for the songs. The recently released songs &lsquo;Ila Chusukuntane,&rsquo; &lsquo;Lelo,&rsquo; and the title song have received a very good response. The film releases on December 25&mdash;do watch it without fail.&rdquo;

Radhika Apte exposes her debut film producers. Radhika Apte is known for hard and frank talk and now speaking to scribes shared her thoughts on her debut film producers.

Radhika Apte made her debut with 'Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi!'. Recollecting her experience, she says&nbsp; "The awful producers didn&rsquo;t put me up, didn&rsquo;t pay me. When my mother and I asked them to sign a contract, they said, &lsquo;Arey, even Urmila Matondkar didn&rsquo;t sign a contract. I don&rsquo;t know if she signed or not, but they treated us horribly. Mahesh Manjrekar was a great guy. That&rsquo;s why I like to forget my film because the production was awful! And I say it out loud."

Radhika Apte continued&nbsp; &ldquo;I was doing a play called Brain Surgeon. It was a good play, and we won an award in a state competition. Mahesh Manjrekar was one of the judges. He called me after the play and said, &lsquo;I want to cast you. Then I didn&rsquo;t do a film for a long time. I finished college, and then I went back to films after a long time. So, I don&rsquo;t really count that as one of the films I did. But yeah, it&rsquo;s been two decades.&rdquo;

\r\nJaved Aktharon Burqa logic. Renowned lyricist Javed Akthar speaking at the&nbsp; SOA Literary Festival 2025 shared his thoughts on Burqa logic.\r\nJaved Akthar said &ldquo;Why should a woman be ashamed of her face?\" and said &ldquo;Why should you be? I believe that revealing clothes &ndash; whether men wear them or women &ndash; don&rsquo;t look dignified. If a man comes to the office or college in a sleeveless shirt, it&rsquo;s not a good thing. He should dress decently. And a woman should also be decently dressed.&rdquo;\r\nJaved continued &ldquo;But what makes her cover her face? What is so vulgar, obscene, undignified about her face that it is covered? Why? What is the reason?&rdquo;\r\nHe added &ldquo;This is peer pressure. If given a choice, she is brainwashed. If she says that she is doing it on her own, then she is brainwashed,&rdquo; he said, adding that approval from one&rsquo;s immediate social circle often plays a decisive role. &ldquo;Because she knows that some peers in her life will appreciate that this is done.&rdquo;\r\nHe questioned &ldquo;If you leave her, then why will anyone cover their face? Does she hate her face? Is she ashamed of her face? What? Why?&rdquo;\r\n
