Terrible movie. I would say "Nishabdham a scream in agony for the unsuspecting audience". After watching Nishabdham 5 star Thums Up for Malayalam movies for creating real suspense thrillers and at a fraction of cost. This one is cringe worthy. The one star is for DOP who successfully brought to us the beautiful locales from UK and USA. I think the buck should stop at the director for making such an avoidable mess. The story is laughable and all the actors are caricatures and not one character is etched properly. The movie has great actors like Anushka, Madhavan and Subba Raju but we don't connect to them even for a second. The actors ham their way and honestly the two girls Anjali and Shalini Pandey are at least good as eye candy. Anushka looks old and haggard and her hay days as a heroine seem to be over. She looks and acts middleaged and her hair, dress, demeanour looks as if she has just stepped out of Covid-19 quarantine! Subba Raju another gifted actor is wasted. He looks confused as to whom he is supposed be in love with. The worst is the US police captain who is shown as a villian for a very flimsy reason. Madhavan sudenly turns a killer and we are left with no plausible reason as to why he should. There are laughable scenes in the movie including a killer's house having CCTV camera. Which killer would have CCTV camera annd create incriminating evidence against himself? One of the songs suspiciously looks like a lifted/inspired/copied song from Sekhar Kammula's hit movie, Anand. It is time Telugu directors learn how to make decent crime thrillers from malayalam film makers who are way ahead in this genre. A thriller has to be taut and the suspense has to be razor sharp and this movie stretches like a old bubble gum. One need not justify each and every action of all the characters and explain their motives. This is 2020 and viewers are intelligent and are fed on a staple diet of Netflix. They see many thrillers, crime series and documentaries and know to appreciate real thrillers properly made with a decent story line. This one is an amateurish pot pouuri hash, totally wasted. The director has to watch Audrey Hepburn's "Wait until dark" a thriller made 53 years ago. Wait Until dark has a blind women fighting in her own house to keep herself alive against armed assailants who want to kill her. Sorry Hemant Madhukar gloss won't help your movie. It is the man behind the machine that matters. The machine can't deliver results it is the man who has to fire and this one Kona Venkat is a dud. Like it is said in the movie Attarintiki Daredi this movie deserves a bhaskar award! Why one give it Bhaskar awards in all categories, richly deserving!

Wonderful first episode. After watching lot of trash it is heartwarming to see a dog series. I am a huge fan of Air Buddies series and Pup Academy does not disappoint. The production values are great and making dogs act is simply mind bowling. I am going to watch all episodes. They are just what the doctor, oops the Vet ordered. Pity that my Indian Spitz does not watch Television. She could have learnt some new tricks!

Hoping that the movie is true to the real facts. Finally it is not the hype that matters. It is the delivery. Even if Bala Krishna delivers 10% if what NTR did in his life time, the purpose will be served. Hope that NTR dedication to his craft is chronicled in the way that will be a lesson for all aspiring actors.
