By the end of the ensnaring Season 2 of Rana Naidu, on Netflix, only one of the protagonists passed away. And he was, by all moral standards, the most decent member of the cast, who deserved better.
The razor-sharp writing elevates what could have been just one more jaded crime thriller, into something special, almost extraordinary, thanks to the actors who get the point: that the good don’t always win, and that, as Abba famously sang, the winner takes it all.
It is hard to tell the winners from the losers in Rana Naidu. They sometimes feel as though they are cut from the same fabric. But there is a difference. And to know the difference, we have to follow the nocturnal adventures of the Naidu family(and that includes the ladies) right to the end.

If you had asked me a couple of years back which import of American network television I imagined being used as a template for multiple adaptations and remakes, the Ann Bidermann-created seven-season Showtime drama “Ray Donovan” wouldn’t have been anywhere near the vicinity of that imagination. That could be accounted for by the show’s general mediocrity of quality, which coasted primarily on the performances of the central cast and a killer premise that can generate storylines for multiple seasons, but not necessarily compelling ones.
If examined further, the central issue of the source, which is also being extended to its official remake, “Rana Naidu,” is in its evocation of “The Sopranos” ethos—the professional world against the personal dilemma. “Ray Donovan,” and to that end Rana Naidu’s first season’s misstep, is in its expectation that its personal subplots are similar or more compelling than the central plot thread,...

Actor Venkatesh Daggubati is rocking it out with a fiercely intense look in the latest poster for his upcoming crime-drama-action film ‘Saindhav’. In the poster, the 62-year-old, ‘Srinivasa Kalyanam’ actor was just looking straight up menacing, as if he only means business now and nothing can really stand in his way.
Wearing a dusty black shirt, dusty blue jeans with ruffled hair and holding a gun with a Molathadu on his wrist, the actor is seen sitting amid a bunch of ropes and items that look like wooden logs in the back. Here, Venkatesh looks like he is out for straight up murder and this look only shows this.
Much like it was for ‘Jailer’ before, the look here is very simple but it is just the straight up furious look in his eyes that compliment this intensity.
While the poster is very high quality indicating a very big production,...
