WATCH: The Girlfriend 

The critically acclaimed Telugu film, The Girlfriend, was released theatrically on Nov 7, and is expected to hit streaming platforms like Netflix in the coming weeks. The movie stars Rashmika Mandanna as Bhooma and Dheekshith Shetty as Vikram, and is directed by Rahuk Ravindran. The film explores the complexities of romance as Bhooma navigates between love and self-worth. 

This movie tackles the romantic cliches of our society and asks important questions about how we view romance as a whole. This emotionally charged movie mirrors the realities of many women like Bhooma, who have to reckon with affection cloaked in authority. 

LISTEN: Thalapathy Kacheri

From the much-anticipated movie Jana Nayagan, comes a lively music score composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The song was released on YouTube on Nov 8 and is available on Spotify. With lyrics by Arivu and vocals by Anirudh and Vijay, this song takes on a celebratory tone.

Thalapathy Kacheri is a nod to actor Vijay’s nickname that he has had for over two decades. Jana Nayagan marks Vijay’s final film, wrapping up a stellar career. The music video features extravagant set design and colours, along with Pooja Hegde, the lead actress of the film, to make an appearance with her energetic dance moves. The electric song is hopefully a teaser of an equally thrilling film.
