&nbsp;&nbsp;Alia Bhatt reportedly charged Rs 25 crore for Alpha, over eight times more than co-star Sharvari Wagh’s Rs 3 crore fee, per Asianet News. Alpha is the first female-led film in Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe and hits theatres this Friday. While YRF marketed it as a dual-lead project, Alia’s star power and the teaser’s focus on her character explain the pay gap. Sharvari, a relative newcomer, shares screen space with Alia in the Shiv Rawail directorial. &nbsp;Bobby Deol, playing the antagonist in Alpha, was reportedly paid Rs 6 crore for his role. Veteran actor Anil Kapoor also received Rs 6 crore for his part in the spy thriller. Hrithik Roshan has a special cameo, further expanding the YRF Spy Universe connection. The film’s massive scale and action sequences mark Alia Bhatt’s first full-fledged action movie, adding to the buzz around her remuneration. &nbsp;Speaking about Alpha, Alia Bhatt said the film pushed her in new ways. “There was something really exciting about stepping into this world of action, scale and adventure. It pushed me in ways I hadn’t experienced before and I loved every bit of it,” she stated.

Alpha joins YRF’s successful Spy Universe franchise that includes Ek Tha Tiger, War, Pathaan, Tiger 3, and War 2. &nbsp;Trade analysts note that Alia’s Rs 25 crore fee puts her among the highest-paid actresses in India, comparable to top male stars in action franchises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;Nani and Srikanth Odela’s The Paradise has been postponed again, with makers officially informing distributors that the August 21, 2026 release is off. Despite earlier denials of delay rumors, the team has now confirmed the shift. This is the second postponement for the high-budget action drama produced by SLV Cinemas. Trade circles say extensive VFX work and post-production polish are the key reasons behind the delay. &nbsp;The Paradise was first announced for March 26, 2026, before moving to August 21 citing pending CGI and DI work. Now, instead of a December 2026 slot as speculated on social media, the makers are exploring an October 2026 window. Sources close to distributors confirm that discussions are on to finalize a festive date that avoids major clashes.

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;The death of a Pune man Ketan Agarwal and the debate between Rahul Ravindran and netizens increased tempers so much so that netizens started issuing death threats towards Rahul Ravindran's children.Following that, Rahul Ravindran revealed that he is deleting the post due to death threats.I was sitting and watching the Brazil v Japan game. I wanted to check a football related Twitter account about something and I opened this app. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of checking my notifications too. And I came across this tweet. I wish I hadn’t.I kept staring at it for a long time. I kept filling up with a rage. I wanted to track this guy down and do unspeakable things to him. The urge was very real. I was, involuntarily, vividly imagining scenarios in my head. My usual response to anger is to tell myself to calm down. But I didn’t want to this time. My head was very hot. A long time passed just sitting there and staring at the game on T.V without watching it. Very slowly my heart rate returned to some semblance of normalcy.Maybe I am overreacting. Maybe it’s somehow my fault.. &nbsp;maybe my kids and I deserve this hate. But I am done with this app. I’ve been wanting out for a while. The only reason I couldn’t is because it’s the best source of news for sports. Especially Indian sports other than Cricket. But I am done. I didn’t like the guy I was for half hour after I read that tweet. I didn’t like my thoughts. And I am too fiercely self respecting to let something have power over me. Deleting this app from my phone right away.&nbsp;- Pramod Nandivada &nbsp;

&nbsp;Ajay Devgn is currently starring in a film titled Chauhan. The film directed by Neeraj Yadav revolves around a security officer who takes charge when peaceful methods fail to control a militant uprising in Pulwama, 2018, despite massive military resources deployed by the nation.The makers released the Chauhan first glimpse, and it received backlash from all quarters. The film, described as a gritty actioner, shows a masked Devgn in a bandana with a skull motif overseeing protesters in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama as they line up against army guards. A pellet-gun sequence in the teaser has also drawn attention, with Devgn’s character referring to the impact of pellet guns as “limited damage.”Kshatriya Parishad took a strong exception and came up with the following press release.“It is deeply unfortunate that Rajput identity is once again being dragged into a political narrative that Rajputs neither initiated nor sought. At a time when Rajput voices remain under-represented in mainstream media and public discourse, invoking a Rajput clan name merely to provoke outrage, inflame caste and communal sentiments, or generate political spectacle is both irresponsible and disrespectful.”“Such attempts also betray a profound ignorance of Indian history. Mahmud Lodi fought under the leadership of Maharana Sanga at the Battle of Khanwa; Hakim Khan Sur commanded a contingent in the army of Maharana Pratap at Haldighati; Farid Khan, who later became Sher Shah Suri, is traditionally associated with military service under Raja Raisal Shekhawat in his early career; and Maharaja Vikramaditya Tomar laid down his life fighting alongside the Lodi forces in the First Battle of Panipat. These episodes illustrate that medieval political alliances were shaped by statecraft, loyalty, and military strategy – not by the communal narratives being imposed upon them today.”"weaponise Rajput history" or "appropriate Rajput identities for electoral or ideological purposes." It also urged political leaders, filmmakers and media organisations to engage with India's history responsibly, stressing that Rajput heritage should not be used as “bait for divisive political debate.”- Pramod Nandivada &nbsp;

Speaking about her journey, Kriti said "The biggest thing I’ve learnt is that this journey is not linear. There will be films that work, films that don’t, moments where you feel confident and moments where you question yourself. But every experience teaches you something. I’ve learnt to trust my instincts more, not get affected by every opinion, and to focus on the work. I think I’ve also understood myself better as an actor, what excites me, what challenges me and the kind of stories I want to be a part of."On dealing with invasive elements, she said "Everyone deserves personal space. I’m someone who loves my work and sharing my journey with people, but there is also a part of my life that I want to protect. Especially because your family and relationships are not just yours, they involve other people, too. I’ve learnt to create that balance, share a large part of my life with my fans and the world, but know where to draw the line."About her upcoming projects, she added “I haven’t signed anything yet. I’ve been reading a lot of stuff. There are a couple of projects that I’m in talks for and some scripts that I’m also getting developed from a production perspective. I want to focus on quality over quantity.”- &nbsp;Pramod Nandivada &nbsp;

Dridam (2026) Movie: What's BehindMalayalam movies are captivating movie lovers across the country and now a thriller named Dridam &nbsp;released in theatres last month and did well at the box office. The film is now streaming on Jio+Hotstar and let us see what the film offered to movie lovers.Dridam (2026) Movie: Story ReviewDridam story revolves around a police officer and how his life changes when he discovers human remains. Vijay (Shane Nigam) lands in Kuzhinilam town after getting appointed as the &nbsp;sub-inspector. Everything goes well with him, including his subordinates who are genial and develops a liking for him and the town is also free of crimes.However everything turns drastically with the discovery of the dead body and crimes increases one by one challenging his investigative skills. Where this leads to and what role &nbsp;CPO Vidya Jayachandran (Saniya Fatima), &nbsp;ASI Krishnan Kurup (Shobi Thilakan), &nbsp;CPO Remya Surendran(Krishna Praba), &nbsp;CPO Sathyan(Dinesh Prabhakar), Manoj (Abhiram Radhakrishnan) and SCPO Balan Nair (Kottayam Ramesh) form the interesting part.Dridam (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewShane Nigam is good in the role of a cop. He showed good expressions and emotions as a new and inexperienced SI but at times he looked inconsistent as his body language is stiff. He looked convincing when it comes to show his confusion and anger.Others like Shobi Thilakan, Kottayam Ramesh, Dinesh Prabhakar, Nandan Unni, Vinod Bose, Krishna Prabha, Saniya Fathima, Mathew Varghese, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, Prashanth Murali, Bitto Davis, Joji K. John and Abhishek Raveendran performed according to their roles.However most of their characters are underdeveloped and under written and offered nothing new to the story.Dridam (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDridam story is penned by Jomon John and Linto Devasia and is directed by Martin Joseph. He tried to thrill viewers movie lovers with invetigative drama and it seems he drew inspiration from the films like Drishyam etc. He started the narration in an interesting manner and didnot devaite from the main plot and manages to surprise all with a climax twist.However, as he drew inspiration from Jeethu Joseph's films, much to the shock of all, he included the same flaws and this impacted the film. He showed the transformation of the cop from a rookie to an efficient one in an able way. However the director failed with his lazy manner of story telling. There are many scenes that looked artificial and staged and looked awkward on the screen.He spent most of the time, showing the admiration of the subordinates to the protagonist and all these looked unnecessary and irrelevant. At times, the scenes and the screenplay looked clumsy and convenient insulting the intelligence of the viewers. There are also many illogical scenes and this impacted the final output. The director failed to execute the decent story with the screenplay and direction.The behavior of the protagonist in various scenes looked silly and this impacted the basic investigation and the whole idea. Some of the so called scenes and the scenes looked absurd and even kids would laugh it out loudly.The cinematography of PM. Unnikrishnan showed the scenes in a natural and realistic manner showing the village atmosphere in a serene and calm way. The background score of Sreerag Saji elevated the scenes and managed to keep the viewers glued to the screen with the twists and turns. The editing of VS. Vinayak could have been better as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are ok and production values are good.Dridam Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e410418a17f0e1841e24b25c86c98ead1">Climax Twist</li><li data-list-item-id="e987c73815e6d58ebdd8bec9433c4115c">Cinematography</li><li data-list-item-id="e789bea59783cde88be7866b6487ca7ce">BGM</li></ul>Dridam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e7a1dab478b8dfe23508637c97d08cb21">Slow Pace</li><li data-list-item-id="ee4653122438d168cf57adb5cdf37e164">Sub Plots</li><li data-list-item-id="ee871dab49c3fc76114600f72e08d0554">First Half</li></ul>Dridam (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Dridam turns out to be a botched up thriller. Director Martin Joseph came up with a thriller that looked like a slow poison and unlike other investigative thrillers where a twist comes during the interval bang, the twist appears only during the climax. Till then the director passes time with unnecessary scenes and the slow pace in the screenplay and narration tested the patience of the viewers. Only the cinematography saved the film from sinking further. Except for the final 30 minutes, everything goes for the toss in Dridam. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Dridam.&nbsp;

He impresses with his dialogue delivery, mannerisms, emotions and expressions. Smeha Manimeghalai on debut came up with an emotional and impactful performance. She impressed with her looks and in the prebclimax and climax she elevated the scenes with her performance.Naresh is good in the role of the father. Jhansi did the mother role in her own style. Vikrant who played the role of the friend performed well. Roller Raghu and Jabardasth Venu performed well though their screen presence is limited. Others performed according to their roles.Deewana (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDeewana story is penned by Sreekanth Sangishetty. For &nbsp;90% of the film, it assumes routine flavors except for one shocking twist and the emotions revolving around it. The entire first half is loaded with hero killing time with his friends and the romantic track after he gets attracted to a beautiful girl. Everything looks routine except for the interval twist. No one can guess the interval twist and the director should be complimented for it.While the first half had predictable scenes of hero and his gang and also his romantic track and the fights with the rival gang, the second half scenes are full of family emotions and sentiment. The pre climax and climax elevates the film to new heights. overall Sreekanth Sangisetty managed to engage gen z viewers with couple of twists.The dialogues are good and the Telangana accent appeal to youth. The scenes featuring friends, father-mother sentiment etc are somewhat dragged. Sreekanth Sangisetty's story, screenplay and direction turned out to be decent.Vamsi Patchipulusu's cinematography added value to the narration and the storyline. Eswar chand's couple of songs are youthful and are shot well and background score is good. However he used Sita Ramam background score for the interval bang and it worked out well.

A little finetuning of the script would have added more power to the proceedings especially The first half is slow and has some monotony. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Deewana. &nbsp;

Right from the start till the finish the narration, screenplay turns out to be uni dimensional. His thought process remained outdated and out of sync with the current generation. He still followed the same hero elevations, three songs, six fights, item song and cheap comedy scenes.With in five minutes into the story, viewers will be treated the same monotonous scenes that test their patience to the core. It increases with the passage of time and reaches its peak in the second half. The interval comes as a break from this torture.

No amount of rework should have changed the output. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Transfer Trimurthulu.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Others like Sreemukhi, Srinivas Gavi Reddy, Lakshmi, Anand performed according to their roles.Maa Inti Bangaaram (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMaa Inti Bangaaram story is penned by Raj, and it is directed by Nandini Reddy. The narration starts in a predictable and simple manner, introducing various characters and the ordeal of a newlywed girl at her in-laws' house. The proceedings though offer nothing new and manage to entertain viewers with hilarious scenes before the action blocks emerge.Though Samantha performed well in the action blocks, the scenes fell flat due to a lack of intensity. The runup to the interval block that includes the flashback turns out to be the biggest drawback. With the passage of time, the first half turns underwhelming as emotions fail to connect with Samantha's current and past happenings.From then on, the second half revolves around how the protagonist achieves success overcome all the obstacles. The complete second half turns out to be predictable and lacks the real twists and turns. None of the scenes excites, and even the actors seem to have passed through the motions.The so-called twist, similar to a hit film, didn't offer anything new. But few scenes enthrall viewers, turning the film into a decent one.Santosh Narayanan's music is attractive. He used Muthyala Muggu song in an entertaining way. His background score is not loud and it however elevated the scenes in an impactful manner. Om Prakash's Cinematography is good and showed the scenes in an effective way. The editing is ok but could have been more crispy. Dialogues are good and at times hilarious. Action sequences could have been more effective.

Samantha worked hard for the role and even performed intense action sequences. However, the story turned out to be monotonous with the only change being the female protagonist instead of a male. Nandini Reddy's screenplay is just ok. The script had few entertaining and hilarious elements but the film failed to elevate the scenes with emotions and thrilling elements. Little fine-tuning of the script adding intense and exciting things could have added more punch to the final output. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Maa Inti Bangaaram.

Vasavi (Swasika Vijay) faces insults from the society as she tries to raise her sons Baskar (Ajay Dishan) and Vivek(Sakthi) after she is widowed.Once her sons grow up, they take a strange decision leaving her shellshocked. What is the strange decision, how she reacted and what role Edukondalu (Vijay Antony), Sandhya (Lizomol Jose), Vandana (Kavya Anil),Peddi Reddy (Balaji Sakthivel) played form rest of the narration.Vanda Devullu (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSwasika Vijay virtually lived in the role. She elevated the scenes with her screen presence. She got powerful dialogues and delivered it in a powerful and impactful manner. She showed the love and care towards her sons and also her concern to give good life for them. At the same time, she expressed the feelings of a widowed woman and the trauma she faces living alone and how the society and men view her.Ajay Dhishan got meaty role and did justice to it. The transformation in his role is shown in a natural manner. He reacts wildly as a youngster coming to know about her mother's wish and then reacts differently after realizing his mistake after he grows up.

Sasi, came with a story drawing inspiration from real life incidents. He did not waste anytime and stuck to the main point. Many films with such plot came in various languages, but Sasi is supported by the powerful performance of Swasika Vijay and the screen presence of Vijay Antony.The entire first half showed the struggles of the widowed woman, her quest to give better life for her sons and at times one gets a feeling that it was overdone and the story is going nowhere as the screenplay turns repetitive. The second half starts in the similar manner and just when viewers are left to wonder, where the film is heading, the introduction of Vijay Antony turned out tobe the added advantage.He with his screen presence took the film to another level. The screenplay also turned racy and after the predictable pre climax, the climax turned out to be different. Sasi tried to send message to the society about the plight of the widowed women and how the society and especially in the villages view them and what sufferings they undergo silently. He should be commended for selecting a topic and highlighted the problem but he could have been little more creative in narrating them.S. B. Darshan Kirlosh with his cinematography showed the rustic village atmosphere in a captivating manner giving a natural and realistic feel. Balaji Sriram came up with emotional song which is situational while the background music is in sync with the storyline. The background score takes viewers into the story. Editing of Harish Yuvaraj turned out to be a mixed bag. At times it is crispy while most of the times, he left many repetitive scenes unattended. Dialogues are natural and hard-hitting and thought provoking. Production values are good.Vanda Devullu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eaeb47b73bf4925de28e36a238e66705c">Swasika Vijay's performance</li><li data-list-item-id="e0658f8c42e7306e5bb2b38203701ddf7">Vijay Antony's screen presence</li><li data-list-item-id="ed8af5cde9707a4255e1b4867a83a1ca5">Hardhitting Dialogues</li></ul>Vanda Devullu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e7f0abab61c33af2aaf23dfa228d694c7">Predictable Story</li><li data-list-item-id="e0df19e4311aa217384419367695209af">Repetitive Scenes</li></ul>Vanda Devullu (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Vanda Devullu turns out to be a predicable but decent entertainer. Sasi tried to give a powerful message to the society and he is supported by the stellar performance from Swasika Vijay and the screen presence of Vijay Antony. However predictable plot, slow pace and repetitive scenes in the first half, impacted the film's output. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Vanda Devullu.

The film turned out to be a disaster. To the top of it, even his cameo in his father Chiranjeevi's Acharya failed to power the film. Can Ram Charan reverse the trend and flex his muscles to score success at the box office as Peddi? Can Ram Charan with Peddi revive the sinking Tollywood market and breath a fresh lease of life. Let us findout all that in the review and what Ram Charan offered to movie lovers with Peddi.Peddi (2026) Movie: Story ReviewPeddi story revolves around a youngster who fights for recognition for his remote village which was not even recognised by Government of India.

He stuns with his transformation in physique as a cricketer and wrestler. He stunned with his emotional performance and at times expressed himself through his eyes. He delivered emotional dialogues with ease and impresses with his body language and screen presence. He danced like never before in dances, and the choreography elevated his dance moves to the next level. He carried the film on his shoulders and elevated the scenes to the next level with his performance.Janhvi Kapoor got an inconsequential role and is confined to irresponsible glamor treat. Her character lacked the basic character. Jagapathi Babu performed well in an emotional role tailormade for him. Divyenndu Sharma's role starts in an interesting manner but fizzles out as time progresses.Shiva Rajkumar is good in the role of a wrestler. He made his presence felt. Others like ,Boman Irani, Ravi Kishan, Satya, John Vijay, Ajay Ghosh,Upendra Limaye, Aadukalem Naren,Tarak Ponnappa,Mahesh Achanta performed according to their characters..Peddi (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewPeddi story is penned by Buchi Babu Sana. The narration starts with the quest for talented sportsmen after debacle of the country in the Olympics. Ram Charan is introduced in a mass manner and the love track follows along with the buildup to the rivalry. The entire first half is loaded with mass elements, but the runup to the interval and interval bang though predictable, excites all setting the tone for the second half.All the cricket matches though shot impressively lacked the wow factor except for the presence of Ram Charan. There are many actors in the film and they just appear and go in an insignificant manner. The moment Janhvi is introduced, it brings down the intensity and pace of the narration impacting the overall output.The second half also starts in the similar manner but the emotions that appear drives the story forward. In the process of elevating the emotions, the pace dipped drastically. The second half special song makes one wonder whether Buchi Babu Sana is set to end the film on a predictable note, but he comes with a surprise here and from then on the screenplay takes a new turn.Ram Charan's impactful screenpresence takes viewers on an emotional ride till the end of the film.Ram Charan's performance in the climax moves all to the core and the film then ends on a predictable tone.Oscar winner Rahman AR scored the music. After along time he came up with foottapping numbers and sent a message that Rahman is back.The songs are well choreographed and shot in the backdrop of breathtaking visuals. He made an impact with his background music.Ratnavelu turned the film into an appealing one with his cinematography. He showed the rural atmosphere quite well and the sports scenes in an adequate manner.The editing of Naveen Nooli is ok but one gets a feeling that it is not smooth as few scenes end in an abrupt manner. Some of the dialogues are powerful and hardhitting but consistency is missing. Vriddhi Cinemas production values are quite good.Peddi Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e54c794b68c333a6311dac4e799c6ce15">Ram Charan</li><li data-list-item-id="e104fd8b3f4267fc09e70d27d3db343ae">Songs and BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e9c58770d50870c5da669340c3acc43ae">Emotional Scenes</li><li data-list-item-id="e17dce9c8e4bd255fcf430b995f5e5554">Message</li></ul>Peddi Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e09fa1147bda4887d870ad62161c586e1">Illogical Scenes</li><li data-list-item-id="ed36c564fbeb73bd5c50441c7f44178a3">Weak Characters</li></ul>Peddi (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Peddi turns out to be a powerful emotional sports based entertainer. Ram Charan's sincerity, dedication and hardwork is seen on the screen in his performance. He powered the film to new heights with his performance. Buchi Babu Sana loaded the film with mass elements for more than 75% of the film keeping in view , Ram Charan's stardom and fan following. He elevated Ram Charan's style and mannerisms on the screen. But this at times impacted the story and narration. However, in the second half, he showed his mettle during that last 25% with thought provoking dialogues, natural and realistic emotions and strong message to the society. Screenplay turned out tobe decent and Buchi Babu Sana tried to elevate it with the shock factor. A little finetuning of the script and doing away with unnecessary and illogical scenes, Peddi would have got more firepower. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 3 star rating for Peddi.

He showed good emotions and variations in expressions and made his presence felt. Master Mahendra showed good expressions highlighting the innocence. Shraddha Das came up with a subtle performance. Tanikella Bharani came up with good performance. Aamani showed her experience in the role of the mother.Others like Sahithi Avancha, Nandha Durairaj, Sai Dheena, Robo Shankar, Rowdy Rohini, ETV Prabhakar, Ambati Arjun, Spyder Sanjay, Kalloori Vinoth performed according to their roles.Trikala - Script of God: Technicians ReviewTrikala - Script of God story is penned by Mani Tellaguti. He came up with an interesting concept but while trying to narrate it on the screen, he ended up confusing the viewers. More than the story he concentrated on VFX and at times used AI to generate the required VFX. The backstory and Trikala generates interest at the start but right after that he ends up confusing with non linear screenplay.The first half has been dragged to the core and the slow pace impacted the output. Though some clarity comes in the second half, it turns out to be routine with psychpath kind of elevations and monotonous scenes. The film lacked the natural feel and everything looks artificial in the end.Pavan Chenna's cinematography is ok. Harshavardhan Rameshwar's music also fall in the same zone. Song on mother is ok. Director Mani Tellaguti himself handled the editing and it turned out to be a huge let down. He should have done away with many unnecessary scenes. Production values are average.Trikala Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e84a9e5db5ce12c27b3ce8ebc3b075092">Performences</li><li data-list-item-id="e257442ff650dd01b600beea96cb2b7ed">Core Point</li></ul>Trikala Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="efcce0400976c713a9a6152f8fbef6e5d">Non Linear Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="ec83ef7169e3373ec5ba9e32cb18b7218">Confusing Narration</li></ul>Trikala - Script of God (2026): Rating AnalysisAltogether, Trikala - Script of God despite good point fails to reach the success heights. Director Mani Tellaguti came up with an interesting point but failed with his execution. A little finetuning of the script, racy screenplay and doing away with the confusing elements, could have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with 2 rating for Trikala - Script of God.&nbsp;

Trikala Review

Nani and Srikanth Odela’s The Paradise has been postponed again, with makers officially informing distributors that the August 21, 2026 release is off. Despite earlier denials of delay rumors, the team has now confirmed the shift. This is the second postponement for the high-budget action drama produced by SLV Cinemas. Trade circles say extensive VFX work and post-production polish are the key reasons behind the delay. The Paradise was first announced for March 26, 2026, before moving to August 21 citing pending CGI and DI work. Now, instead of a December 2026 slot as speculated on social media, the makers are exploring an October 2026 window. Sources close to distributors confirm that discussions are on to finalize a festive date that avoids major clashes. An official announcement is expected once the new date is locked. Made on a reported budget exceeding Rs 200 crore, The Paradise reunites the Dasara combo of Nani and director Srikanth Odela. Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music, raising expectations further. The film’s glimpse released in 2025 crossed 20M views, with fans praising Nani’s raw, intense look. As per buzz, the team wants a solo release to maximize openings, making Dussehra 2026 a strong contender. Trade analysts note that repeated postponements have sparked concern, but distributor confidence remains high due to Nani’s current box office pull and Srikanth Odela’s brand after Dasara. The film also stars Sonali Kulkarni and has high-octane action set against a 1980s Hyderabad backdrop. With pan-India plans and multiple language releases, The Paradise team is prioritizing quality over rushing to meet dates. - Veda
