Coming to the story it’s an illogical crime comedy.Prajapati (Ajay) runs a bank.For quick money Ajay invests bank money into crypto currency and the bank runs into losses unable to face the ire of customers they blame it on Harishchandra (Subhalekha Sudhakar) and Ajay absconds and hides in Dubai.
The rest of the story is Ajay getting extradited from Dubai to India and from then on the story happens in plane.From there its illogical comedy of errors with different characters Satya and CBI agents trying to save Ajay, Home minister using his gang to eliminate Ajay on plane to protect himself.
It’s the home minister(Sai Srinivas) who runs and operates that bank through Ajay for money laundering and to hide his black money and Ajay has all his illegal financial secrets.
The total story is illogical, Satya did well as a contract killer turned saviour, Vennela Kishore role is okay with his own agenda on plane , Srinivas Reddy is okay as padding artiste,Rhea Singha has made her own mark as CBI agent.
Viva Harsha did well in the cameo role as pilot with his trademark witty dialogues.
Director Ritesh Rana made an insipid, boring, illogical film using an potential story /premise.

Speaking about the song, the makers of “Bhagavanthudu” said, “In our soil, every task begins in the presence of a mother goddess.

These mother goddesses symbolize the courage that stands with workers in every drop of their sweat. In our culture, no work begins or ends without seeking the blessings of these divine mothers. ‘Saranamanna Saranam’ is our tribute to these goddesses and to all working communities. It echoes the heartbeat of laborers from the farmer holding the plough, to the blacksmith with his hammer, to the potter turning the wheel. This song is dedicated to the hands that turn blood into sweat and create life from the soil, and to the tools carried by those hands. It stands as an anthem for the working communities of this country, a life song for those who respect and worship both labor and motherhood.

Coming to story Darahas(Tarun) a software engineer has high aspirations to move to the U.S.A as it’s one of the conditions of his girlfriend Manasa Choudhary father Anish Kuruvilla.
After landing in the U.S Tarun gets deported from the port of entry due to U.S president changed policy and his alliance with his girlfriend gets cancelled.
Then he becomes a gayapadda simham and develops a grudge against U.S president Trump and decides to harm him through black magic.
In the process he tries to get Trump hair from U.S , the packet gets goofed up and gets exchanged with another packet from Satya logistics.Satya logistics is owned by another Gayappada Simham Brutal Dharma(J.D Chakravarthy) who is a mafia don and drug smuggler.
The rest of the story is fun and comedy of error situations of Tarun trying to do black magic on Trump using Sree Vishnu and how in the process J.D chakravarthy hair gets into the box instead of Trump hair.
And how the Police team led by Subhalekha Sudhakar and Harshavardhan use the confused situation to close in on J.D chakravarthy and gang to dismantle his drug empire and in the process how Tarun gets closer to Faria.
Sree Vishnu excelled in his role as Black magic practitioner who has total disbelief in it and IAS aspirant with belief that change/welfare can be done in society being civil servant.Bikshu Yadav as his father and Jhansi as his mother continuing the legacy of Black magic are okay as padding artistes to run the story.
Faria’s role was short as a youtube vlogger and Tarun’s girlfriend with limited scope.
J.D chakravarthy excelled in his role as another gayappada simha having lost his brother J.D in the Mumbai shootout.
Director Kasyap Srinivas totally failed in entertaining the audience using the black magic as Protagonist weapon for Tarun grudge against U.S president for deportation.Songs and fights are okay, comedy tracks with situational comedy and comedy of errors are insipid.

The makers of ‘Agadha’ have unveiled a striking new poster introducing young actress Jovika Vijay Kumar, who is making her acting debut with this mystical divine thriller. The poster has instantly caught attention across platforms for its intense visual appeal and mysterious tone.
Set in a dimly lit ancient backdrop, Jovika is seen in a stunning look. Her expressive eyes carry a mix of innocence and hidden strength, hinting at a character that is deeply connected to the spiritual and mystical core of the story. The rain effect adds to the intensity as well.
Interestingly, years ago M. S. Raju introduced Jovika’s mother Vanitha Vijayakumar to cinema with ‘Devi’. Now, he introduces the next generation, marking a rare and emotional cinematic connection across generations. Jovika is the grand daughter of veteran and versatile actress Manjula who was very active in Telugu and Tamil films.
Earlier posters from the film revealed powerful characters that established the mystical tone of ‘Agadha’ . The poster of Mahadevi showcased a divine feminine presence surrounded by spiritual intensity. Another impactful poster introduced Shravan Reddy as Simha, standing in darkness holding a blazing torch, symbolising his journey through fear, mystery, and unknown forces. Another poster is that of Ulka Gupta who is seen as Mahima and this also grabs the attention with its intense appeal.
Being made on a grand scale under the banner of Sri Adi Varaha Productions, the film is produced by Kasi Visalakshi Balusu and written and directed by M. S. Raju.
With 85 days of shoot, extensive set work, and nearly 45 minutes of VFX, Agadha promises a unique cinematic experience. The film is being made simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi and is currently in post production.

It’s a Tamil dubbed film released in Telugu as Kara.
The story is set in 1980-1990 era, Kara(Dhaush) is a thief in remote villages and towns of Telugu states, after getting nearly caught during a robbery he vows not to do robbery again and starts to lead normal life doing odd jobs with his wife Selli(Mamitha Baiju).
During the process he realises to lead a better life he needs to sell his land in Village and start Business.
Once he goes to the village to get his land and to meet his father(K.S Ravikumar) he finds out the whole village is in debts with land papers with the bank for surety.After seeing the situation in villages he develops grudge against the union banks for fleecing the poor farmers with interests, processing charges, late fees and exorbitant penalties.
The rest of the story is how Kara turns thief again to rob the same banks and get the poor farmers lands back by paying principal and interest with robbed money.
Director Vignesh Raja has taken up a good theme which is very much a prevalent problem in Indian villages with peasants, but execution and drama is not convincing at times looks silly.
It’s an age old Robinhood theme of helping the poor farmers by breaking the law.
Jayaram did well in a supporting role as bank manager taking advantage of the situation by robbing banks with his own people with insider information and blaming Kara.
Dhanush and K.S Ravikumar father son drama fitted the narration well highlighting farmers problems in villages.
Suraj Vasudevan suited the role of DSP perfectly with interesting episodes of cat and mouse games when on trail to catch Kara.
It’s a film with a good theme but not packaged well for the common audience.
