In this episode of Paisa Vasool, Sravan and Taran break down whether Dacoit lives up to the standard of Adivi Sesh’s earlier films like Goodachari, Kshanam and Evaru, or whether this one falls into more routine territory.

They get into the performances from Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, the film’s multiple twists, the COVID-era setting, the shaky logic in the final act, and why this might still be one of the better Telugu films they’ve seen in a while, even if it is not quite top-tier Adivi Sesh.

Is Dacoit worth watching? Does the big twist actually work? And where does it rank among recent Telugu releases? Tune in for the full discussion.

In this episode of Paisa Vasool, we break down Harish Shankar’s latest commercial entertainer and ask the big question: is this a proper comeback film, or just another outdated mass masala template?

We get into the routine first half, the strange tonal shift in the second half, the forced politics, the comedy that mostly doesn’t land, and whether this really deserves to be compared to Gabbar Singh.

If you’ve watched Ustaad Bhagat Singh and have thoughts, this one’s for you.

This one is basically dialogue-driven, back-to-back comedy with a bare minimum storyline… and it lives or dies on Naveen’s delivery.

We talk:

• why it works (especially in the first half),
• why it still feels routine for a “3-years-in-the-making” Naveen film,
• the tonal shift near the end,
• random song placements + a fight that feels out of character,
• and our final Sankranthi ranking across the movies we watched.

If you watched it — did the jokes land for you, or did it bounce? 😄

We watched it on opening night and walked out feeling like this movie has moments… but also feels choppy, overstuffed, and weirdly edited — like entire scenes vanished between the trailer and the final cut. From the “this could be interesting” bits to the “wait… what is even real?” climax chaos (hello crocodile + giant 🐊👊), we break down what worked, what didn’t, and why this might be getting more hate than it deserves online.

⚠️ Spoilers start mid-episode — we clearly mark the chapter.

With a massive cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, Dhurandhar is a sprawling, intense, and brutally violent political thriller loosely inspired by real events.

In this episode, Sravan and Tarun discuss:

• Whether a 3.5-hour runtime is justified
• Ranveer Singh’s performance vs his real-life persona
• Why the film is technically excellent but emotionally draining
• Comparisons to Chhaava and Animal
• The violence, pacing, rewatch value, and chapter-based structure
• Why this works as cinema, but not as comfort viewing

This is one of the better-made films of the year, even if it’s not one you’ll rush to rewatch.

In this Paisa Vasool episode, Sravan and Tarun review Akhanda 2: Thaandavam — starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, directed by Boyapati Srinu, with music by Thaman.

We went in expecting Boyapati-level physics to be illegal… but what we got was a 3-hour loudspeaker assault, a plot that keeps inventing itself to justify runtime, and a second half that swerves from mass action into devotional + patriotic + bio-warfare madness (yes, really).

We discuss:

• Why this might be one of the worst films we’ve watched this year
• The insanely loud sound mix (even after asking the cinema twice)
• The “two Balakrishnas” setup and why one of them is pointless
• Too many villains, too many monologues, not enough actual story
• The wild “China virus into the Ganga to destroy belief in God” plot
• The IQ 227 daughter… who does absolutely nothing smart
• And of course: “border place”, electric suits, and peak meme material

Drop your thoughts below — did you enjoy the chaos, or did your ears file a lawsuit?

We break down:

• How the film’s five-year production derailed it
• The shift from Krish to A.M. Jyothi Krishna
• Bobby Deol as Aurangzeb and whether the character works at all
• MM Keeravani’s score after RRR
• The inconsistent visuals, jarring green-screen work, and infamous tornado ending that got cut
• And of course… that abrupt non-ending and “Part 2” title card

We also compare it to OG, talk about Pawan Kalyan’s current phase as an actor–politician, and look at the wider pattern of big Telugu films under-delivering this year.

If you’ve watched Hari Hara Veera Mallu, send us your thoughts – is there a good movie hiding in there somewhere?
