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.

Another poster is that of Ulka Gupta who is seen as Mahima and this also grabs the attention with its intense appeal.

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.
With Kara gearing up for its theatrical release on April 30, 2026, the film is steadily building momentum in the Telugu market. Starring Dhanush and directed by Vignesh Raja, the film is being presented in Telugu by CH Satish Kumar under Vigneswara Entertainments, marking a focused push into the region.
Vigneswara Entertainments has built a steady presence in Telugu distribution over the years, backing films such as Kabali, Singham 3, Arjun Reddy, Khakee and Salaar. With a mix of large-scale commercial releases and content-driven films, the banner now brings Kara to Telugu audiences.
In a recent interaction, CH Satish Kumar spoke about acquiring the film, its content strength, and expectations for the Telugu release.
Q: What’s your background? Satish: I hail from Visakhapatnam. I started slowly with small film distribution. Over the years I became capable of handling big films too. For Uttarandhra, I distributed Arjun Reddy, Kabali, and Singham 3. I also handled Dharmayogi (Dhanush’s Kodi in Telugu), which did good business and received a good reception. I also distributed Khakee in Telugu. Since then, I’ve wanted to get into production.
Q: Going solo? Or do you have partners? Satish: Solo.
Q: Since no one is purchasing the movie after seeing it, did you make the choice based on Dhanush’s market? Satish: No entirely. More than stars, content is driving the market. So based on the content and Dhanush sir’s following, I made the choice.
Q: Kubera is a straight film, while Idli Kottu and Tere Ishq Mein are dubbed ones. Based on their performances in Telugu, don’t you think this film is a bit risky? Satish: Raayan was a success in Telugu too, while Idli Kottu had great content, somehow they couldn’t take the film to the audience’s doorstep. So, I took proper measures not to repeat it with my film.
Q: The producer mentioned that you chased him for quite some time? Satish: See, for any good content film, even big producers try to acquire it quite early. But I was more persistent with the producer to bag the film, and he saw that and gave me confidence that he would sell the film to me only.
Q: Where do you stand on the business aspect? Satish: We’ve already covered 80% of the film.
Q: The trailer shows many things, including a bank robbery. What would you say about the movie? Satish: Well, I can’t reveal much about the film, but I’d say it’s the story of a man who is caught up in some dire situations and pulls himself up from them. Bank robbery is also a part of it, but this is not a heist film. The film has many strong elements of family, survival, and intense emotions. Every family shall connect to this film.
Q: Were there any major challenges in your journey? Satish: Until you achieve success, everything is a challenge. I just made sure they never became my setbacks.
Q: Are you distributing alone for all Telugu states? Satish: No sir, we shall be giving it territory-wise. Dil Raju is handling Nizam, and Alankar Prasad sir after a long time saw something in this film and is handling the distribution for Krishna District. Ceeded was split among four others.
Q: So how many screens? Satish: There might be a Hindi release too; there is a bit of confusion. If that clears up, I’m expecting more than 600 theatres, while 400+ are confirmed.
Q: Is there any reason why you didn’t change the Tamil title in Telugu? Satish: The protagonist’s name is Kara Swamy and everyone calls him Kara. Since the name isn’t alien to us, we decided to go ahead with it.
Q: Did you watch the director’s previous film? Satish: Of course, Por Thozhil is such a seat-edge thriller, and it was the film that gave 100% confidence to acquire it at any cost.
Q: What was your conversation with Dhanush? Satish: Dhanush sir is very happy and fully confident that this film shall be a blockbuster, setting some records.
Q: Is this a character-driven film? Satish: No, it’s just for the narrative, but the story involves the surrounding village and other elements too.
Q: Your trailer also showed the fuel crisis, which feels quite relevant today. Satish: See, the film takes place in a time when a similar crisis happened—to be precise the Gulf War. But that is not the plot, just a plot device. And that shall be a good plus because of the relatability.
Q: How was the audio response? Satish: We made two songs for Telugu. But the reach was so good. Kannamma was written by Ramajogayya Sastry, who gave the character depth through the lyrics.
Q: Any line-ups? Satish: I’m in talks for Peddi. It should get finalized in a couple of days.
Q: So what do you have to say about Kara finally? Satish: Kara is a solid family drama that has many thrilling elements in it. Dhanush sir’s character is so original—any family shall relate and connect to what he does in the film.
Set during the 1991 Gulf War period, with the fuel crisis forming a key backdrop, Kara centres on an ordinary man navigating a series of difficult, life-altering situations. The film blends elements of family drama, survival, and tension, led by Dhanush alongside Mamitha Baiju, with supporting performances from K. S. Ravikumar, Jayaram, Karunas, and M. S. Bhaskar. Directed by Vignesh Raja, with music by G. V. Prakash Kumar, the film is produced by Ishari K. Ganesh under Vels Film International, in association with Think Studios.
