Kannappa X Review: Prabhas' much-awaited movie Kannappa is finally in theatres, and early reviews suggest that the film is a must-watch. On Friday morning, several X (formerly Twitter) users took to their respective handles and reviewed the movie. While some argued that Kannappa is an 'intense" movie with a 'top-notch" performance by Prabhas, others heaped praises on Vishnu Manchu's role and claimed that he dominated the film.
'Just watched @iVishnuManchu Kannappa in the USA. Slower first half and a more engaging second half. Vishnu's performance is stellar and top-notch; more than 17 min of Prabhas's screen time. Ending is intense. Vishnu Tried very hard to create an epic and the movie is worth watching. 3.5🌟/5 for me," one of the users wrote.

Raanjhanaa: What are the changes in AI-altered climax of Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor's movie?
Raanjhanaa (2013) starring Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor in the lead is back in the cinemas. The movie generated polarising reactions on its AI-altered ending. While director Aanand L Rai criticised Eros Entertainment for changing the climax without his consent, the production house remained firm and defended the decision. As the romantic drama re-released in cinemas, let's see what has changed in the film's climax. In a viral clip on the micro-blogging site Twitter (now X), Kundan (played by Dhanush) can be seen in the ICU room with Zoya (played by Sonam Kapoor) sitting behind him, carrying tears in her eyes. Kundan's friend Murari (Mohd Zeeshan Ayub) and Bindiya (Swara Bhaskar) are checking on him from the glass door. While in the original climax, Kundan died at this moment after a heart-wrenching monologue, the AI version showed that Kundan is still alive. The character opens his eyes and gets out of bed. Zoya, Murari, and Bindiya everyone smile and are happy to see him alive. Though the AI-altered ending is drawing criticism from the film fraternity, the audience seems to be cheering on it. The viral clip shows the fans hooting and clapping when Kundan opens his eyes. For the unversed, it was the tragic ending of Raanjhanaa which made it so popular and a cult of modern cinema. Aanand L Rai slams AI-altered changes in Raanjhanaa Filmmaker Aanand L Rai is strongly against the altered ending of the film and believes that the production house shouldn't have changed the narrative by making it a happy ending. In a social media post, the filmmaker wrote, "The past three weeks have been surreal, and deeply upsetting. To watch Raanjhanaa, a film born out of care, conflict, collaboration, and creative risk, be altered, repackaged, and re-released without my knowledge or consent has been nothing short of devastating. What makes it worse is the complete ease and casualness with which it's been done.' He further added, 'Let me say this as clearly as I can: I do not support or endorse the AI-altered version of Raanjhanaa. It is unauthorised. I had no role in it. Neither did the team that made the film. And whatever it claims to be, it is not the film we intended, or made. This was never just a film to us. It was shaped by human hands, human flaws, and human feeling. What's now being circulated is not a tribute. It is a reckless takeover that strips the work of its intent, its context, and its soul.'

In a recent post on social media, a user on X (formerly Twitter) alleged that the makers of Coolie have reused existing designs for posters. The examples showcase the Rajinikanth starrer's publicity designs created by Gopi Prasannaa to be similar to Hollywood movies Glass and Rebel Moon, directed by Zack Snyder. Moreover, the recent poster used for Coolie's censor update was allegedly taken from a fan edit for Thalapathy Vijay starrer Beast. However, it is unclear whether the designs are merely coincidental in similarity or taken as inspiration. See the post by X user ft Coolie posters: Talking about Coolie, the makers of Rajinikanth starrer are all set to unveil the trailer at an event titled Coolie Unleashed.
