‘Yatra 2’ Ending Explained & Movie Recap: Did Ys Jagan Mohan Reddy Win The State Assembly Elections?
Mahi. V. Raghav’s first film, Yatra, was all about Ysr Reddy and his journey from being a mere politician to becoming the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. The story revolves around Ysr Reddy’s love for his people and how much they respected him for the work he did extensively throughout his constituency. His infamous padyatra was the highlight of the movie, which helped him become the Chief Minister of his home state. The journey is very sugar-coated, although spearheaded by Malayalam megastar Mammotty. The second film describes the journey of Ysr Reddy’s son, Ys Jagan Mohan Reddy, and his tumultuous journey to become the next chief minister of the state.

New Delhi, Dec 25 (Ians) There is hardly a top footballer in the country who hasn’t gone through the grind of the Hero Santosh Trophy at some stage of his career in the last eight decades.
Starting from Talimeren Ao, the first captain of Independent India to present day icon Sunil Chhetri, all had made their presence felt in the National Football Championship at an early age before moving onto the next phase of footballing life.
The influence and impact of the Hero Santosh Trophy, however, hasn’t remained restricted to India – it has travelled beyond its boundaries from its very inception.

Qala is an Indian psychological-drama written and directed by Anvita Dutt Guptan, starring Tripti Dimri.
A slightly different feature film to what Netflix has previously brought to us recently. You can expect a slow-paced movie that tells a very sad story of a tormented celebrity, which is not based on real life events.
Premise
Qala is a talented and accomplished singer, who despite her success is tormented by her past in which her mother, especially, played a quite nefarious role.
Movie Review
A psychological-drama that borders the horror movie line. We follow the protagonist throughout the entire feature, in a story that is slow paced, and very dramatic.
Qala (2022)
With its good photography, and subdued tones the scene is set for the story of a tormented national superstar (played by Tripti Dimri). Following the character from her childhood, with an overbearing and demanding mother (played by Swastika Mukherjee) to her...

In Thiru's "Naan Sigappu Manithan" (Nsm), neither do you have a hero to cheer for (because he's asleep mostly as he suffers from a rare sleep disorder) nor a typical villain character. You don't have a comedian and comedy tracks to keep you entertained. You have a second heroine but she doesn't the play the hero's love interest. Yet what is it that makes this commercial Tamil outing a laudable effort?
Nsm stands testimonial to the fact that a simple story that has been milked dry over the years can still be narrated in myriad engaging ways. One such way is what we.

It is believed that love has the power to move mountains. But, would you believe if I tell you love has the power to make someone escape from his captors in Sudan, and run for his life in the scorching heat of African desert, because he wants to reunite with his lover waiting for him in a small town called Neerkodi?
Answer is yes. "Maryan", a simple story of love, makes us realise its power in the most visually extravagant way.
In realisation of love, there is always struggle, and to overcome it one needs strong will power. That's "Maryan" for you.
The literal translation.
