Rana Naidu Season 2 trailer: If you’ve ever caught yourself wishing for a 'Rana Naidu' in your life—someone who could swoop in and solve your messiest problems—you’re not alone. That’s exactly the feeling this series evokes. Of course, Rana doesn’t deal with your everyday issues. His world is filled with high-stakes chaos, the kind that only afflicts the rich, the powerful, and the dangerously influential. Think of 'Rana Naidu' as Netflix’s answer to 'The Family Man', only darker and grittier.

Thug Life review: When cinematic legends like Kamal Haasan, Mani Ratnam, and A.R. Rahman come together, expectations naturally soar. 'Thug Life', touted as a gangster drama, had already set the tone with its high-octane trailer—and to a large extent, it delivers on that promise. Packed with style, swagger, a strong ensemble cast, and visually rich cinematography, the film impresses in many departments. However, it's the story that ultimately lets it down.

In a cinematic landscape often criticised for recycling plots and lacking originality, Kesari Veer dares to dip into history to bring an unsung hero’s legacy to light. The film narrates the courageous tale of Hamirji Gohil, a teenage warrior and devout follower of Lord Shiva, who stood against the might of Alauddin Khilji’s army to protect the revered Somnath temple. While the story carries significant cultural and historical weight, the film itself stumbles in its execution.
