The 2024 film Saindhav is an example of how forced the plot twists in some movies have to be to keep the viewers interested. Such films have a target audience that likes to just sit back and be bombarded with mindless action and a little bit of sentimental drama, usually revolving around a father and his child. There is nothing inherently bad about this kind of chaotic storytelling, but it is just not my cup of tea. The story revolves around a man named Saindhav, who has to return to his roots of crime and violence so that his daughter can survive. Saindhav, written and directed by Sailesh Kolanu, is made to provide fast-paced but simplistic action with no real depth at all, which is something that has taken over cinema screens in recent times.

Actor Venkatesh Daggubati is rocking it out with a fiercely intense look in the latest poster for his upcoming crime-drama-action film ‘Saindhav’. In the poster, the 62-year-old, ‘Srinivasa Kalyanam’ actor was just looking straight up menacing, as if he only means business now and nothing can really stand in his way.
Wearing a dusty black shirt, dusty blue jeans with ruffled hair and holding a gun with a Molathadu on his wrist, the actor is seen sitting amid a bunch of ropes and items that look like wooden logs in the back. Here, Venkatesh looks like he is out for straight up murder and this look only shows this.
Much like it was for ‘Jailer’ before, the look here is very simple but it is just the straight up furious look in his eyes that compliment this intensity.

ReviewSailesh Kolanu’s ‘Hit 2’ is one of the best-written Telugu films in recent times, with each character, scene, and dialogue having relevance to the story.Balakrishna GaneshanWriting a suspense thriller is indeed a challenging task. Holding the reader/viewer’s attention till the last page or scene; revealing enough clues for them to solve the mystery and yet cleverly deceiving them is not an easy task. Taking on this mighty challenge, filmmaker Sailesh Kolanu has written Hit 2: The Second Case, the sequel to Hit: The First Case, a successful film that was remade in Hindi too. The Hit series has become a franchise now with a third instalment in the works.

In what seems like a case of life imitating art, the trailer of Adivi Sesh starrer ‘Hit: The Second Case’ reminds one of the horrific Shraddha Walkar murder case in Delhi. In an eerie similarity, the latest trailer of ‘Major’ fame, Adivi Sesh’s upcoming movie depicts the exact same crime.
The coincidence of a film that was written a year ago releasing within a week of such a gruesome real life tragedy, is surreal.
The mention of the name “Shraddha” in the trailer sends further chills down the spine.
‘Hit 2’ is the second instalment from Dr Sailesh Kolanu’s ‘Hit’Verse. The film directed by Sailesh Kolanu is all set to hit the screens on December 2, 2022. As the release date fast closes in, the makers delighted movie lovers with the thrilling trailer on Wednesday.

Hit: The First Case
Starring Rajkummar Rao, Sania Malhotra, Jatin Goswami,
Written & Directed by Sailesh Kolanu
One can always depend on Rajkummar Rao to carry a film to its finish even if the material tends to stumble at crucial points. As it does in this thriller, Hit, a remake of the Telugu film of the same title where Vishwak Sen played the troubled cop looking for two missing girls, one of them his life partner.
The set-up is intriguing and skilled cinematographer S Manikandan who also shot the original telugu film, uses the Udaipur locales to create the visual equivalent of a calm ocean with rumbles within. The director uses extraneous props such as the background score to create a sense of distant foreboding.
The film’s biggest Usp is some of the talented cast. There are some well-honed actors in supporting role including Milind Gunaji, a very dependable actor...
