Movie update - 28th October

An average Malayalam time-loop comedy spoiled by weak backstory and flashback, praises Sajin Gopu and Nikhila Vimal's performances, notes Ganapathi's potential was wasted, and says the enjoyable climax and fun timeloop elements lack big impact—recommending it only if bored.

Released September 25, 2026 and directed by Sudhi Maddison, this 119-minute comedy stars Sajin Gopu as Kuttan, a groom stuck repeating his wedding day with deadly twists, alongside Nikhila Vimal, Ganapathi S. Poduval, and Shine Tom Chacko; it blends humor, deja vu, and light sci-fi, now streaming on Netflix with dubs.

Matches many reviews rating it around 2.5/3 stars for lively comedy and strong lead turns that work in parts, but critiquing repetitive pacing, underdeveloped mystery resolution, and failure to fully capitalize on the familiar time-loop premise beyond initial fun.

Sai Pallavi, cast as Sita in Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming Ramayana: Rise of a Legend (starring Ranbir Kapoor as Rama and Yash as Ravana), made the comments at the film's LA premiere on October 27, 2026.

She framed Ravana as not entirely evil, positioning the epic as a scripture that prompts self-reflection: recognizing internal flaws ("spot the Ravana in us") and committing to personal change over time.

The statement, shared in the post as bold, has fueled online debate by offering a nuanced, introspective take on the Ramayana's moral lessons rather than a purely villainous portrayal of Ravana.

The new trailer for Jumanji: Open World, highlighting its stars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Alex Wolff.

Directed by Jake Kasdan, the film is the fifth and final entry in the Jumanji franchise, featuring the video game breaking free into the real world and causing chaos with body-swapping and rampaging animals.

Set for theatrical release on December 25, 2026, the trailer positions it as the concluding chapter of the modern trilogy based on Chris Van Allsburg's book.

Starring Harish Kalyan and Siddhi Idnani, the film is directed by Sasi (Pichaikkaran, Sivappu Manjal Pachai) and was long in development since 2019 but skipped theatrical release for streaming.

The author expresses disappointment, calling ZEE5 the worst quality OTT platform and warning that it will ruin the viewing experience for this anticipated project.
