In the movie, Veera Mallu plays an outlaw who is tasked with retrieving the Kohinoor from the Mughals. Niddhi Agerwal, Bobby Deol and Sathyaraj are the other actors in prominent roles.
The Hindu review of the movie said, 'The closing moments are reminiscent of SS Rajamouli's RRR. It is hard to elaborate without giving too much away, but the intended high point lacks both conviction and emotional weight. If there is a second part, it will need far sharper writing and more assured filmmaking.'

Anupam Kher makes big statement on Operation Sindoor hero Colonel Sofia Qureshi, says, ‘Presented her…'
After the Pahalgam attack shook the nation, the Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor, targeting and destroying several terrorist bases across the border. Amid the operation, one face stood out—not from the battlefield, but the briefing room. Colonel Sophia Qureshi, a high-ranking officer in the Indian Army's Corps of Signals, led media briefings, keeping the nation informed and composed during the tense period. Who is Colonel Sophia Qureshi? Sophia isn't just another officer in uniform. She made history as the first Indian woman to lead a military contingent at an international exercise. With clarity, calmness, and courage, she became the Army's voice after the Pahalgam attack. Her presence wasn't just a performance—it was reassurance. Anupam Kher meets Sophia Qureshi Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who is currently promoting his new film Tanvi the Great, recently met Colonel Sophia and shared their interaction on Instagram. In the photo, he's seen gifting her his book. His caption read, 'OPERATION SINDOOR: I was extremely HAPPY and deeply HONOURED to meet Col. #sofiyaqureshi recently and present her my fourth #SelfHelp book #DifferentButNoLess! She epitomises the grace, valour, dignity and bravery of #IndianArmy. Thank you Col. Qureshi for your warmth and appreciation! Jai Hind! #Proud' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anupam Kher (@anupampkher) The post has since gone viral, with fans calling the moment 'real patriotism'. What's 'Tanvi the Great' and how is it connected? Kher's film, Tanvi the Great, which tells the story of a young girl fighting against all odds to chase her dreams, has just been granted tax-free status in Delhi, following its earlier declaration as tax-free in Madhya Pradesh. Sharing the update, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta wrote on social platform X, ' I am pleased to share that the Delhi Government has declared the film 'Tanvi the Great' tax-free in the state. With an impactful narrative of inclusion, the film is an inspiring story of a young, 'special' girl-Tanvi, who is determined to achieve her dreams against all odds. Tanvi's story is emotional and inspirational. We are committed to promoting films that strengthen the spirit of Rashtra Seva, ignites patriotism, and awakens the conscience of the nation. Best wishes to the entire team of the film. @AnupamPKher' I am pleased to share that the Delhi Government has declared the film 'Tanvi the Great' tax-free in the state.

Sometimes it's in uniform, other times in the cinema. But both spark something real: pride, purpose, and power.

Movie Hari Hara Veera Mallu – Part 1 Review: Bombastic, not fantastic
Krish Jagarlamudi . The much-delayed and hyped multi-lingual movie Hari Hara Veeramallu has arrived at theaters. The movie's release was put off by five years due to various reasons including the pandemic. Its shooting began under the guidance of directorbut he had to exit. Later, Jyothi Krishna, the son of well-known producer AM Rathnam, took the responsibility of completing the shooting. The result: The tonal and dramatic disparities are evident between the pre and post-intermissions. The failure of the directors to translate the potential of the core premise of the movie to the screen is its plot revolves around a king entrusting a well-known fugitive with a task to reclaim a priceless diamond. The movie begins with Veera Mallu attacking officers from the British East India Company and recovering diamonds from them. Impressed by Veera Mallu's skills in stealing diamonds, a king (Sachin Khedekar), assigns him to steal diamonds that are being sent to Golconda Nawab. Veera Mallu meets Panchami (Nidhi Agerwal), a devadasi, and falls in love with her. Panchami pleads with Veera Mallu to save her from the king, who wants to keep her as his mistress. You have to watch the movie to know what happens to Veera Mallu and whether or he reaches Golconda or far as the performances of actors are concerned, Pawan Kalyan has worked hard but fails to meet the expectations of the audiences, including his hardcore fans. He looks good in action scenes but too much glorification and computer graphics have played spoilsport. Action scenes, especially those of the hero and heroine jumping from one building to another and flying like kites to escape from enemies, are too far-fetched. It is not clear what the director was hoping to achieve with such scenes. Nidhi Agerwal looks good, but has no chance to showcase her acting skills. Bobby Deol, as Aurangzeb, is convincing. Sathyaraj, Nassar, Subbaraju, Raghu Babu give good by MM Keeravani is not up to the mark. Art director Thota Tharani has done a commendable job. If you have nothing much to do, you can watch this film.

Souza's 4 rare works to be auctioned this week
Panaji: A rare collection of four distinctive artworks by modernist painter of Goan origin, F N Souza, collectively valued at over Rs 1 crore, is set to lead the upcoming online auction by AstaGuru Auction House on July 29 and 30. The artworks include two pieces from his 'Head' series periods (1964 and 1985), a dynamic 1990 landscape, and a 1987 nude inspired by Khajuraho sculptures. 'Souza was a pioneering force in the Indian modernist art movement,' said Sneha Gautam, the director of client relations at AstaGuru Auction House. 'As a founding member of the Progressive Artists' Group in the 1940s, he was instrumental in challenging conventional Indian artistic traditions and introducing a bold modernist sensibility, especially at a time when the country was finding its distinct artistic voice. ' Gautam said, 'His work played a key role in shaping the trajectory of modern Indian art, bringing modernist styles and ideas to the forefront.' The artworks span various styles and themes that the artist concerned himself with throughout his career. The curation also showcases Souza's command of and proficiency in varied mediums. Lot No. 37 and Lot No. 42 showcase his different takes on portraiture and are reminiscent of his 'Head' series. The series featured portraits influenced by European art movements that displayed the artist's inner turmoil through the depiction of distorted faces. While Lot No. 37 is a colourful untitled work executed using acrylic on paper in 1985, Lot No. 42 is a charcoal-on-canvas work from 1964. Lot No. 56 belongs to Souza's vast oeuvre of landscapes. Executed in 1990, the oil-on-canvas work exemplifies his visceral approach to environment and structure. With a dense web of jagged lines and rhythmic brushstrokes, the composition collapses foreground and background into a frenetic tangle of green, ochre, and blue. Lot No. 84 is an untitled pen-on-paper work executed in 1987. It reveals Souza's fascination with creating nude works and the inspirations he took from the erotic sculptures of the Khajuraho temples. Captivated by the uninhibited expression of human desire found in these ancient carvings, Souza drew from their raw physicality and symbolism, particularly in his depictions of the female nude and intertwined couples. 'Characterised by assertive lines, striking colours, and a fusion of abstraction and figuration, Souza's art drew inspiration from Cubism, Expressionism, and other European movements,' Gautam said. 'His paintings frequently explored existential and religious concerns, while also offering sharp critiques of social and political structures.' She said, 'With a distinctive visual language, his use of line and colour imbued his work with dynamic tension, often evoking both intensity and unease. Souza left behind an unrivalled legacy of rebellion, paving the way for generations of artists to come.'
