It is the weekend of the Ganesh Chaturthi festival in India. And festivals are always a great occasion for new things. And with theaters slowly opening their shutters across the country, many movies are choosing to open there. Either way, there's an equally good number of preview movies out there on OTT platforms. By the way, a Tamil movie has been released for virtually simultaneous release in theaters and on OTT platform. On this week's list of recommendations we have the Tamil comedy Dikkiloona. Another Tamil movie on the list is Tughlaq Durbar. The highly anticipated Telugu film Tuck Jagadish is also airing this week. And another intriguing Telugu tech thriller, Net, does the same this week. The list is completed by the Hindi movie Bhoot Police.
Report
Quick Details Director: Bhargav Macharla Actors: Rahul Ramakrishna, Praneeta Patnaik, Avika Gor Language: Telugu Platform: Zee5 Release Date: September XNUMX, XNUMX. Synopsis: It is a story that has a background to the Hollywood psychological drama of the late XNUMXs, The Truman Show. Here, a couple's home is rigged with multiple spy cameras, and their lives become an unintentional Bigg Boss show, so to speak. The twist here is that TV subscribers to the movie get to watch the events in their living room for free, money for the kitchen and dining room, and a premium for what happens in their bedroom. Woven into this is another couples story, where the boy is a fan of porn as he struggles to make his marriage work. The story examines voyeurism and its effects on couples. This dystopian idea was originally envisioned for a web series, but now he's turning it into a movie.
Dikkilona
Quick Details Director: Karthik Yogi Actors: Santhanam, Anagha, Shirin Kanchwala, Yogi Babu, Harbhajan Singh, Rajendran, Anandaraj Language: Tamil Platform: Zee5 Release Date: September XNUMX, XNUMX. Synopsis: Firstly, this film stars Harbhajan Singh. Now you might be wondering what does a cricketer do in a Tamil movie? But Tamil filmmakers have done crazier things than cast an unlikely athlete in their movies. And Dikkiloona, which is hilarious if you know your Tamil movies, also belongs to the genre: Crazy. It's a comedic caper involving crazy science and a time machine. This is not a movie for you if you are the type to take it seriously. There is no logic or reason in the film where Santhanam, the ex-comedian turned hero, is going to unleash his arsenal of "against" dialogues. Coming back to Harbhajan, this film actually marks his second Tamil project after Thiruvalluvar Consultancy Services (a web series). It just so happens that he has another movie starring Losliya and Arjun Sarja called Friendship coming out at the end of this year.
tuck jagaddish
Quick Details Director: Shiva Nirvana Actors: Nani, Ritu Varma, Aishwarya Rajesh, Jagapathi Babu, Devadarshini, Daniel Balaji Language: Telugu Platform: Amazon Prime Video Release Date: September XNUMX, XNUMX. Synopsis: The film was originally supposed to be released in April. However, it has been postponed due to the pandemic. And like many recent South Indian movies, Tuck Jagadish too went for a direct OTT release. The family drama is directed by Shiva Nirvana, --- marks his second cooperation with Nani after his directorial debut Ninnu Kori in XNUMX. In the trailer, Nani's character introduces himself as "Tuck Jagadish, the youngest son of Mr. Naidu." There's an industry buzz that the film is a loose adaptation of the XNUMXs Tamil hit Agni Natchathiram, directed by Mani Ratnam, but it seems to have been woven to suit new sensibilities. The launch of Tuck Jagadish on an OTT platform has caused some controversy in Tollywood.
Shoot the police
Quick Details Director: Pavan Kirpalani Actors: Arjun Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Yami Gautam Language: Hindi Platform: Disney + Hotstar Release Date: September XNUMX, XNUMX. Synopsis: Bhoot Police was originally slated for a September XNUMX release, but it's set to hit digital a week early as the producers want to make the most of the festival weekend. The film belongs to the horror comedy genre, something that has been very popular recently. Next week's release, Annabelle Sethupathi, also falls into this category. In Bhoot Police, Saif plays the eponymous role with Arjun Kapoor as his partner in crime, so to speak. The actor plays the role of Bhoot Police with Arjun Kapoor as an associate. Jacqueline Fernandez and Yami Gautam play the role of their service clients who try to ward off evil with their help. Everything is funny in the movie.
tuglak durbar
Director: Delhi Prasad Deenadayalan Actors: Vijay Sethupathi, Raashi Khanna, Manjima Mohan Language: Tamil Platform: Netflix Release Date: September 4, XNUMX. Synopsis: The film will premiere on TV on September XNUMX and the day after it will premiere on Netflix. And as it turns out, movie hero Vijay Sethupathi has XNUMX movies scheduled to stream on multiple OTT platforms over the course of the next month or so. Then we have Annabelle Sethupathi, which is scheduled to air on the seventeenth of September. His other film, Laabam, hits theaters this week and is due out on OTT in a fortnight. His other film, Kadai Sivavasayi, is also slated for an OTT release later this month. As a film, Tuglaq Durbar is a political parody. The title itself is a take-off on one of the most iconic Tamil satirical films, Muhammad Bin Tughlaq. This movie had the sultan in the satire Cho Ramaswami. The new film has nothing of that stature. But keep an eye out for political artifacts and tamasha. Naturally, there is a test match with India this weekend. And next week the IPL restarts. In short, a good moment of sports and cinema for each and every one of the entertainment lovers.
