Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has released the trailer for his latest political-thriller film ‘Vyooham’. Another experimental outing from the ‘Siva’ director, the trailer packs in high intrigue, gritty realism, a compelling storyline, and immense thrills.
From the surface,the Telugu film seems to be based on the real-life Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, and the many events that shaped his life after the passing of his father, Y S Rajasekhar Reddy.
While indeed there is a lot of realism to the compelling narrative much of which is based on true events, the trailer doesn’t exactly look like a biopic as opposed to just narrating one facet of a politician’s very complicated life.
The movie also seems to aim guns at the former Andhra Pradesh Cm Chandrababu Naidu, who allegedly hurled corruption charges against Y S Jagan for which the latter was imprisoned back in...

ReviewWhile the film begins with the interesting premise of a psycho killer who selects and kills his victims randomly, poor characterisation and an absurd climax let the viewers down.Balakrishna GaneshanDirector Kv Guhan’s Highway opens with these lines: “There will always be a reason why you meet people. Either you need to change your life or you are the one that’ll change later.” These lines sum up the crime thriller’s plot of how a journey accidentally brings together two people and an imminent danger. A psycho killer is on the prowl maiming and killing young women. The police are unable to catch him as he does not have a set pattern; all his victims are randomly abducted and killed. There seems to be no motive behind the murders. It is with this interesting and engaging premise that the film begins. Vishnu (Anand Deverakonda) is a wedding photographer.

People expect highway rides to be fast, racy, and smooth. But on screen, Telugu movie ‘Highway’, ace cinematographer Kv Guhan’s third directorial venture in Telugu, suffers on all three fronts. Interesting in patches but largely predictable, ‘Highway’ could yet appeal to die-hard fans of the ‘cat and mouse’ type serial killer genre.
The movie’s basic premise is set around a serial woman-killer and a determined lady cop in Hyderabad. ‘Highway’ shifts scene when a young village lass lands in his clutches, with her new love hot on their tracks. Despite the initial promise of a taut thriller, ‘Highway’ ends up meandering along to a rather unbelievable ending.
Vishnu, a promising photographer in Vizag sets out on a wedding coverage assignment in Bengaluru. On the way, he and his friend come to the aid of Tulasi, a village belle from near Amalapuram, in search of her father in Mangaluru,...

MollywoodMammootty's film 'Unda' has been postponed, much to the disappointment of his fans.Tnm StaffIf in the past few weeks, there were very few Malayalam movie releases, this week, there are quite a few of them coming out. With the festival of Eid falling on June 6, there are releases beginning from June 5, Wednesday, through June 7, Friday. However, Unda, starring Mammootty in the lead, has been pushed to June 14 because the post production work is yet to be completed. This has come as a huge disappointment to Mammootty fans. Thottappan: The film with Vinayakan in the lead, is based on a short story by Francis Nerona. Director Shanavas K Bavakutty, known for his debut film Kismath, has said it is centred on a man who becomes guardian to a girl he is not related to. Other actors in the film include Priyamvada, Roshan Mathew, Lal, writer Raghunath Paleri and director Dileesh Pothan.

MollywoodThe film appears inspired by ‘Jolly Llb’ but falls short. Sowmya RajendranVishnu Unnikrishnan appears to harbour ambitions to become this generation’s Sreenivasan. The actor is aware that he’s not hero material when it comes to physical appearance (someone even quips that Dulquer Salmaan may look like him in his Aadhaar photo), and so when he plays the lead, it comes with the premise that he will be the underdog with self-effacing humour. Vikadakumaran, directed by Boban Samuel, is about a small-time bumbling lawyer who lands a big case. In this Malayalam version of Jolly Llb, Vishnu plays Binu Advocate, a lawyer who cannot even say ‘alibi’ confidently. Dharmajan Bolgatty, his sidekick-friend-investigation partner, tags along, providing some laughs along the way. The plot revolves around two crimes and how Binu Advocate comes of age in his personal life as well in as the courtroom. Is it breathtakingly original? Well, no. You know that when a hotshot Supreme Court lawyer argues against Binu Advocate, he’s only been included to be shown his place. As soon as a sister is introduced, you know she’s there only to add to Binu Advocate’s list of family problems (how amazing would it be if we had a sister character who knew karate for a change?). The pleasant looking Manasa Radhakrishnan as the heroine is there only to underscore the Sreenivasan-ness of Vishnu’s character. Despite the predictable plot which moves from point A to point B without offering any surprise and the occasional slapstick humour, however (the sequence with the cheating wife was cringeworthy), the film manages to stay fairly engaging. You’re waiting to see how Binu Advocate will finally tie up all the loose ends. But this is where the film fails, falling back on coincidences and an unconvincing explanation for the climax. Jinu Joseph as Roshi, the villain, is presented to us as an omniscient force. The man knows what’s happening outside even when he’s in a hostile police station. But after building him up to such an extent, his downfall seems all too convenient. You can’t help but feel cheated. On the other hand, Binu, who comes across as daft, suddenly develops a super brain. Perhaps there was a sequence in the film where some body-swapping happened and I completely missed it? Vikadakumaran is strictly average. In other words, it’s the Aadhaar card photo of Jolly Llb. Disclaimer: This review was not paid for or commissioned by anyone associated with the film. Neither Tnm nor any of its reviewers have any sort of business relationship with the film's producers or any other members of its cast and crew.
