Agadha Creates Sensation With 10 Million Digital Views in Just 7 Days, Huge Theatrical Deals Underway
Agadha is rapidly turning into one of the most discussed upcoming films in trade circles after its teaser amassed a phenomenal 10 million digital views within just seven days — a rare achievement achieved entirely through content-driven buzz.
At a time when theatrical business is usually dependent on star value, songs, or aggressive promotions, Agadha has managed to attract massive industry attention purely through its striking posters, mystical world-building, and visually explosive teaser.
The growing digital storm has now translated into strong theatrical momentum. Distributors from multiple regions are actively approaching director M. S. Raju and the production team for theatrical rights, making the film one of the most sought-after upcoming releases even before its trailer launch.
Trade experts say the film’s extraordinary response reflects the audience’s curiosity toward fresh, high-concept storytelling. The teaser’s breathtaking visuals, intense atmosphere, and divine mystical elements have created a unique identity for Agadha, pushing expectations to a completely new level.
The film’s promotional campaign has especially stood out for its carefully designed visual narrative. Posters featuring dark caves, ritual fires, and gigantic multi-handed divine imagery established a mysterious spiritual universe around the film. The reveal of Kamakshi Bhaskarla as Mahadevi introduced a powerful feminine force deeply connected to the story’s mystical core, while Shravan Reddy as Simha hinted at a character confronting terrifying unknown forces.
The recently released teaser further intensified the buzz with its fierce mystical confrontation sequences and haunting visuals, helping Agadha cross the sensational 10 million digital views milestone in only seven days — an exceptional feat for a film without mainstream star names.
Written and directed by M. S. Raju, the film continues his reputation for delivering unconventional concepts with a distinct cinematic style. The music is composed by Rakesh Venkatapuram, with editing by Junaid Siddiqui and cinematography by Nani.
Produced by Kasi Visalakshi Balusu under the banner of Sri Adi Varaha Productions, Agadha is being simultaneously made in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.
Mounted on a grand scale, the film was shot over 85 days across specially erected sets and real locations. With nearly 45 minutes of VFX work and extensive production design, Agadha is shaping up to be one of the most visually ambitious mystical thrillers from Indian cinema. The film is currently in post-production, with the release date expected to be announced soon.
ZEE5’s ‘Memu Coplam’ Turns A Missing Prized Rooster Into A Wildly Entertaining Rural Mystery
The official trailer of Memu Coplam, the upcoming Telugu ZEE5 Original series, promises a deliciously chaotic entertainer packed with rural madness, mystery, comedy, and unexpected twists. Set against the colorful backdrop of a village obsessed with cockfighting, the series premieres on May 22 exclusively on ZEE5.
When a prized rooster vanishes from a village where cockfighting is treated like pride, politics, and prestige rolled into one, chaos erupts instantly. The responsibility of solving the bizarre case falls into the least capable hands possible – Ravi and Mohan Sotari, two delightfully clueless cops with more confidence than common sense. What begins as a comically overblown poultry pursuit soon spirals into a tangled mystery far bigger than either of them bargained for.
As the investigation stumbles from one ridiculous mishap to another, the duo accidentally begins uncovering secrets that threaten to shake the very foundations of their quirky village. With black magic rumors, bloodshed warnings, political pressure, activist outrage, and growing paranoia spreading across the village, Memu Coplam steadily transforms from a hilarious rural comedy into an unpredictable mystery filled with escalating madness.
“Memu COPulam” – Trailer▶️
The trailer has already struck a chord for its rooted atmosphere, eccentric characters, sharp visual style, and uniquely chaotic energy. Rather than relying on forced punchlines, the humor organically emerges through misunderstandings, social absurdities, and the sincere seriousness with which every character treats the missing rooster crisis. At the center of the madness stands Nagendra Babu as the commanding Gajapati Raju, while Getup Srinu as Mohan Sotari and Raviteja Nannimala as Ravi Sotari bring an entertaining blend of confusion, desperation, and accidental investigation brilliance.
The series also stars Reethu Chowdary as Meenakshi, Charan Lakkaraju as Akash Reddy, Siri Parvathy as Sanghavi, and Kireeti Damaraju as Giri in key roles.
Visually, Memu Coplam stands apart with its vibrant rural aesthetic, atmospheric night sequences, stylized presentation, and earthy Godavari-rooted texture. The trailer hints at a world where folklore, politics, village ego, superstition, and chaos collide in the most entertaining ways possible.
Produced by B.V.S. Ravi under RAW Entertainments, Memu Coplam is directed by Pradeep Maddali with story by Shoban Chittuprolu. The screenplay is written by Shoban Chittuprolu and Chanakya Varma, while dialogues are penned by Shoban Chittuprolu, Chanakya Varma, and Gopala Krishna Vidmahe. The technical crew includes cinematographer Kishore Boyidapu, editor Michael D’selva, music composer Saket Komanduri, Creative Producer Gopala Krishna Vidmahe, and First Assistant Director Raj Kumar Koosana.
Over the years, ZEE5 Telugu has built a strong identity in the OTT space with successful originals like D/O Prasad Rao: Kanabadutaledu, Nayanam, Viraatapalem: PC Meena Reporting, Vikkatakavi, Paruvu, Puli Meka, Aha Naa Pellanta, consistently exploring rooted Telugu stories across comedy, mystery, thriller, and rural drama genres. With Memu Coplam, the platform once again dives into a distinctly Telugu world filled with eccentric characters, village politics, folklore, cockfight culture, and a wildly entertaining mystery setup. Promising laughs, suspense, chaos, and nonstop rural madness, Memu Coplam premieres exclusively on ZEE5 on May 22.
“Edaina Sadhyame” Movie Inspired by Sri Amma Bhagavan’s Teachings▪️ Title Unveiled at Film Chamber
Hyderabad: A new spiritual and emotional film titled “Edaina Sadhyame” (Anything is Possible), with the tagline “Daivam Thodunte..” (When God is With You), is being produced under the banner of Sri Adi Lakshmi Pictures. The title launch event was held grandly at the Film Chamber in Hyderabad.
Director Madduri Raja, producer Anil Munaganuri, executive producer N. Subrahmanyam, and members of the film team attended the event.
The film aims to portray how people can overcome sorrow and suffering in life by building a strong bond with their chosen deity. The makers stated that the movie is completely inspired by the teachings of Sri Amma Bhagavan and focuses on spirituality and human relationships.

“You are a unique being”

“Inner truth”
“Life itself is relationships”
The film’s narrative is built around these philosophical concepts.
Speaking on the occasion, producer, writer, lyricist, and dialogue writer Anil Kumar Munaganuri said that today’s youth are extremely important for the nation, but many are struggling with depression and hopelessness. He explained that the film intends to show how a deep connection with God can bring miracles into one’s life and transform impossibilities into possibilities.
“This movie is being made based on spiritual teachings. When people connect with their beloved deity, miracles can happen,” he said.

“Dooradarshini” Will Touch Hearts Like a Close Vision: Priyadarshi
A feel-good romantic entertainer based on a real-life incident, “Dooradarshini”, stars Suvikshit and Geethika Ratan in the lead roles. Carrying the tagline “Kalipindi Iddarini”, the film is directed by Karthikeya Kommi and produced by M. Jayashankar Reddy and Patimeedi Santosh under the Varaha Movie Makers banner. The film is all set to release tomorrow (May 15). Ahead of its release, a grand pre-release event was held in Hyderabad. Actor Priyadarshi and Raju Weds Rambai director Sai Kompati attended the event as chief guests.
Director Sai Kompati said, “The title itself is very appealing and instantly connects with everyone born in the 90s. I strongly believe the film will be loved by all audiences.”
Priyadarshi said, “I always want to support new films like this. The moment I watched the trailer, it reminded me of my childhood days. Back then, Doordarshan introduced the world to all of us. Even I was inspired to become an actor after watching movies on Doordarshan during my childhood. I hope this ‘Dooradarshini’ brings audiences to theatres like a close vision experience and becomes a big success. Audience support is extremely important for small films like this.”
Gemini Suresh said, “Through Dooradarshini, I got an opportunity to explore the actor within me. Acting in this film gave me immense happiness. Such opportunities come very rarely. Just as this film touched my heart, I am sure audiences will also love it. Every character in the movie feels very realistic, as though the characters are directly speaking to the audience. I strongly believe the film will win audience appreciation.”
Director Karthikeya Kommi said, “Right now, many may see this as a small film, but that feeling will disappear after watching it. The performances of the hero and heroine will be one of the biggest highlights of the film. The emotions in the movie will deeply touch everyone’s hearts.”
Suvikshit said, “This is a film that belongs to your village and your home — a clean entertainer without any vulgarity. It will emotionally connect with everyone and touch hearts deeply. Watching the film will feel like revisiting your own hometown. Seeing so many people come forward to bless and support my film is truly emotional for me. The movie will definitely give full value to the audience for their ticket money.”

Uppal-Narapally Flyover Progress: Snail’s Pace and an Uncertain Future
The Uppal-Narapally elevated corridor, one of Hyderabad’s most talked-about infrastructure projects, was conceived nearly a decade ago to relieve heavy traffic on the busy NH-163 corridor linking Uppal to Narapally. However, what was envisioned as a three-year construction project has turned into a long saga of delays, public frustration and repeated timelines that keep shifting.
A Project with a Long History of Delays
Work on the six-lane, roughly 6.2 km long flyover started back in 2018 with an estimated budget of around ₹675 crore and an expected completion timeframe of around 18 months. Since then, progress has lagged far behind that initial schedule.
Several factors have contributed to the slow pace of work:
Land acquisition hassles, shifting of utilities such as power and water lines, and coordination issues between agencies have repeatedly slowed work.
Problems with the original contractor and poor progress led to intervention by senior officials, including a directive to replace the contractor to speed things up.
Redesigns linked to clashes with other infrastructure projects, like metro viaduct alignments, also pushed timelines.
An RTI from 2023 showed that less than half the project had been completed even then, and local commuters have faced rough road conditions, dust and congestion as a result.
Government Promises vs. Ground Reality
Officials have repeatedly set new targets for completion:
Roads & Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has publicly stated that authorities are aiming to finish the project by Dasara 2026, a major festival in October.
Government sources also suggested that with renewed focus and closer monitoring, work would accelerate significantly in 2025–26.
Despite these assurances, progress on the ground remains patchy. A news report from late 2025 described the corridor as “lagging far behind schedule,” with major milestones like foundations still being laid just months before the supposed deadline.
Residents and commuters, who have endured years of dust, potholes and hazardous traffic conditions, doubt that such an ambitious timeline can be met given what is still incomplete on the site. Informal online discussions among locals reflect widespread scepticism about whether the flyover will really open to traffic by late 2026 — with some likening it to a long-running project that feels “never-ending.”
Technical and Logistical Challenges Still to Clear
Even with renewed political focus, substantial construction tasks remain:
Pillar construction and segmental spans (the lengths of road between supports) still need to be completed over large stretches.
Traffic diversions are only now being planned on the main Uppal road to facilitate construction, indicating that major execution is still in progress.
Land acquisition efforts continue to require close coordination among civic and planning departments.
Will It Be Ready by October 2026?
Given the complexity of work that remains — from finishing the elevated road surface to installing safety and lighting systems — many experts and residents feel the October/Dasara 2026 deadline is highly optimistic, if not unlikely. Although the government has reiterated its commitment to that timeline, significant portions of the project are still in early or middle stages of construction, and unexpected delays (weather, supply chain issues, labour availability) could further push back completion.
On the other hand, with focused execution, contractor accountability, and better inter-agency coordination, it is technically possible for the bulk of the flyover to be finished by late 2026 — but this would require a sharp acceleration in progress over the next several months.
Conclusion
The Uppal-Narapally flyover illustrates the challenges of delivering major infrastructure projects in growing urban regions: bureaucratic hurdles, design changes, contractor issues and evolving timelines can combine to delay benefits to commuters for years.
While authorities have pledged a final push to meet the 2026 target, the project’s past pace and residents’ scepticism suggest that meeting it won’t be easy — and underscoring the need for more transparent reporting on on-site progress as the deadline approaches.
