Nelson Venkatesan’s Malayalam film DNA features the interesting Nimisha Sajayan, and that’s reason enough to watch it. She plays a slightly mentally deviant character, the kind of person who gets an ill-deserved reputation as a wacko as she talks too much, or speaks without thinking.
Divya is squeezed into a marriage of compromise with a drunken disgraced man Anand. It is a case of two misfits making a marriage of convenience work.
I wish the entire film was about Divya and Anand struggling determinedly to find a common ground, diffidently but confidently moving towards one another. Both the accomplished actors are in fine form, giving to their damaged characters a mendable mould.
But then something happens. The screenplay does a not-so-cool somersault . The couple’s mutual kinship is shattered when their baby is stolen from the hospital after Divya gives birth. It is not just the couple’s life that is shattered.

Renowned actress Shabana Azmi recently shared her thoughts on the success of her Netflix crime series, Dabba Cartel, attributing much of its impact to writer Shibani Akhtar. She revealed that her biggest hurdle was making sure her character was distinct from her famous role in Godmother (1999).
In a recent chat, Shabana expressed her appreciation for the fantastic reception of Dabba Cartel. She noted, “The key to its success is in the writing. The director had a clear vision, and I have to give a special shoutout to Shibani, who didn’t ask for any special treatment just because she’s Farhan’s wife.”
In Dabba Cartel, Shabana plays Sheilaben, the cunning leader of the drug cartel. Portraying such a subtle character, where silence conveys so much, required a delicate touch. She mentioned that this experience helped her refine her performance and incorporate a Gujarati dialect to add richness to the role.

Sohum Shah starrer Crazxy was released in theatres on January 28, 2025. It is leading the box office clash against Superboys Of Malegaon, which also arrived in theatres last Friday. After a decent opening weekend, the coming-of-age drama witnessed a considerable drop on its first Monday. Scroll below for the day 4 early trends.
The Monday test!
The need of the hour was for Girish Kohli’s directorial to remain on similar lines as its first Friday. As per the latest trends, Crazxy has added box office collections in the range of 0.75-1 crore on day 4. It has suffered a 31-9% drop compared to 1.10 crores earned on its opening day.
The 4-day total of Crazxy concludes around 5-5.25 crores. Given the current pace, it looks like Sohum Shah’s film will take some time to achieve the 10 crore mark. One factor in its favor is its low budget.

Netflix’s new Hindi drama series, Dabba Cartel, is the story of a group of women from different walks of life coming together to start a business. The premise was exciting to begin with, and it’s bound to remind you of shows such as Griselda (starring Sofia Vergara) or even the Italian show Bang Bang Baby (available on Amazon Prime). These series have extensively covered women’s roles in drug cartels, but what makes Dabba Cartel interesting is how diverse the gang members were. One event or mistake led to another, and they soon became slaves of their circumstances. But was it the lack of options that turned them into drug dealers, or did they start enjoying the thrill of going against the law? Well, you’ll have to watch the series to find out.

Actor Roshan Mathew, who is receiving a lot of positive response for his work in the recently released streaming show ‘Poacher’, has shed light on the connecting link between him and his character in the series.
The actor recently shared that his character’s geographical background and the language paved the way for him to walk into the world of the character.
Roshan said: “The geographical background of this character and his language gave me the link into his world because apart from that, this man is very different from who I’m in terms of the kind of things that he does and the life that he leads”.
He also shared that his past experience of working with Malayalam star Nimisha Sajayan also came in handy.

Poacher is about killing elephants for their tusk. Richie Mehta , known to not spare us any details from the scene of the crime (Delhi Crime) highlights scenes of poachers ripping out the priceless ivory from elephants wailing in unbearable pain.
I don’t know how Mehta shot these never-before scenes of cruelty to animals. We are assured that no animal was harmed during the shooting. We as the spectators are irreparably harmed.
It is not a pleasant sight to see how cruel we humans can be. Poached is an expose on a loveless irredeemably lost civilization which no longer cares about the damage we cause to our own earth every single day.
But we are straying. The focus here is on the plunder of elephants. It is not an easy breezy series to sit through.

In the plethora of content available for audiences, very few characters make a mark in the audience’s mind, and seldom, it is a female character, especially in a cop role. However, with Richie Mehta helming a project, a trend seems to be emerging with a female character at the heart of it, be it Vartika Chaturvedi in ‘Delhi Crime’ or Mala Jogi in ‘Poacher’. Known for his signature style of investigative storytelling, Richie Mehta develops his characters to match the pace of his engaging narratives.
While ‘Poacher’ is a perfect example of an ensemble show, the character of Forest Range Officer Mala Jogi truly stands out, and played aptly by highly acclaimed and appreciated actor Nimisha Sajayan.
As a forest range officer in the Kerala Forest Department, Mala (played by Nimisha) is deeply committed to combating wildlife crime. This commitment is aggravated due to her father’s past involvement in wildlife crime.

Jigarthanda Double X Movie Review Rating:
Star Cast: Raghava Lawrence, S. J. Suryah, Nimisha Sajayan, Nimisha Sajayan, Naveen Chandra, Sathyan, Shine Tom Chacko
Director: Karthik Subbaraj
Writer: Karthik Subbaraj
Review of Jigarthanda Double X: A Blaze of Political Drama and Fiery Performances(Photo Credit –IMDb)
What’s Good: The film is an authentic ‘Pandya Western’ with aesthetics, an engaging protagonist’s journey, and an enigmatic narrative core. Suryah and Lawrence deliver spectacular performances, navigating moral quandaries and evoking empathy. Karthik’s trademark layers assure sustained engagement, with nods to Tamil cinema adding an enigmatic touch.
What’s Bad: The initial 30 minutes exhibit storytelling impatience. Specific sequences, like unnecessary melodrama, disrupt the flow. CGI, especially in rendering elephants, lacks an organic feel. The second half’s abundance of messages can be overwhelming, and some scenes, like the tribal wedding, seem disconnected.
Loo Break: There is a film recording scene at the 49-minute mark.
