It is competition next week that will be slightly challenging for Sitaare Zameen Par. While F1 will retain IMAX screens and premium multiplex screens, Maa, Jurassic World Rebirth and Metro... In Dino will also fight for screens. Sitaare Zameen Par, being a film targeting Metros, will feel the heat of the competition. Regardless, one would expect that the dramedy would have done substantial business in theatres by the start of the third weekend.

Kannappa Movie: Showtimes, Review, Songs, Trailer, Posters, News & Videos
Kannappa Story: Kannappa is a devotional epic inspired by sacred lore. It traces the spiritual journey of Thinnadu (Vishnu Manchu), an atheist tribal hunter known for his raw instincts and survival skills, who undergoes a profound inner transformation. His path eventually leads him to become one of Lord Shiva's most devoted followers. As the story unfolds, Thinnadu's encounters with divine elements and his evolving sense of purpose take centre stage. His relationship with Nemali (Preity Mukhundhan), who acts as a feisty yet grounded counterbalance, adds emotional texture to his arc. Kannappa Review: Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, Kannappa is a sincere attempt at retelling revered lore with visual grandeur. While the film opens on a slow and stretched note, it gradually finds its rhythm and builds to a soul-stirring finale. Vishnu Manchu brings sincerity and steadiness to the lead role. Prabhas makes a dynamic appearance as Rudra, energising the screen with his commanding and entertaining presence. Akshay Kumar makes a confident Telugu debut as Lord Shiva, fitting naturally into the film's spiritual atmosphere. Kajal Aggarwal adds elegance as Parvati, while Mohanlal's composed portrayal of Kirata brings a quiet strength to the narrative. Mohan Babu is firm and dependable as Mahadeva Shasthri, and R. Sarathkumar leaves an impression as Nathanathudu. The supporting cast, including Brahmanandam, Madhoo, Siva Balaji, Mukesh Rishi, Devaraj, Brahmaji, and others, contribute meaningfully, helping flesh out the world around Thinnadu. While the film hits the dramatic notes effectively, some of the emotional layers, particularly around Thinnadu's inner conflict and relationships, could have been explored with more depth. The narrative has heart, but a deeper dive into the character's internal struggles would have added more weight to the transformation. That said, Kannappa scores high on visual and musical impact. Sheldon Chau's cinematography captures the beauty of forested landscapes and celestial moments with finesse, giving the film a rich visual texture. Some of the VFX elements fall short of the film's ambition, but the overall sincerity of the production shines through. Stephen Devassy's background score is another strong point, heightening the emotional beats, especially during the intense and moving final act. Watch it if you enjoy sacred stories with strong visual storytelling and emotional payoff. Kannappa ends on a powerful note that resonates with devotees and admirers of culturally rooted cinema.

'Mai uss type ka aadmi hun ki agar main bore ho raha hun toh main kaam nahi kar paata (I'm that type of person that if I get bored, I cannot work),' the actor claimed. When Aamir directed the 2007 film, it was not because of his willingness but a necessity.
