(2026)

That’s not to say Happy Patel is inaccessible; it just doesn’t pretend to be something else in pursuit of validation. It’s all so free-spirited that it’s easy to forgive its hit-or-miss translation onto the screen.

Anaganaga Oka Raju
(2026)
|
Sruthi Raman
|
Naveen Polishetty’s latest Telugu comedy is essentially an assembly line of gags. But this observation does not in any way detract from the film, which takes jokes much more seriously than anything else.

It’s not just a drama of situational comedy, but a modern marriage — a marriage that fails. And in this regard, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu takes several steps back.

Saali Mohabbat
(2025)

Saali Mohabbat has this short-film-coded habit of unfolding in punchlines rather than moments. It’s why the title sounds less like an indignation of love and more like the one that got away. A bit like the film itself.

What keeps the film propulsive, then, apart from the constant fragility, is Mujeeb Majeed’s score, which swells you into feelings, sometimes even before the feeling has been narratively wrought.
