The highly anticipated film “Vishwambhara,” starring the legendary Chiranjeevi and directed by the rising star Vassishta Mallidi, is making rapid progress. The production recently wrapped a new schedule in Nalgonda and has returned to Hyderabad to continue filming.
With a target completion date of March 19th, 2024, the entire team, including Chiranjeevi himself, is deeply involved in bringing this big-budget extravaganza to life. “Vishwambhara” boasts a strong supporting cast featuring Surbhi Puranik, Harsha Vardhan, Praveen, Vennela Kishore, and more.

The filming of Kamal Haasan’s highly anticipated movie “Indian 2” is finally complete, and rumors are swirling around its release date. While no official announcement has been made yet, whispers in the film industry suggest a May release. A teaser confirming the date could be released soon.
Meanwhile, Prabhas’ sci-fi epic “Kalki” is also scheduled for a May release on the 9th. Interestingly, Kamal Haasan plays the lead villain in “Kalki.”
With both films aiming for a May release and Haasan involved in both, there’s a strong possibility they won’t clash head-on. The sudden surge in “Indian 2” buzz has sparked speculation that “Kalki” might get pushed back.
While rumors of a “Kalki” postponement have been circulating for a while, the makers insist on a May 9th release. This could be a strategic move to maintain hype, as movie producers often avoid announcing delays for fear of dampening excitement.
However, the growing buzz surrounding “Indian 2” has definitely amplified the chatter about a potential “Kalki” delay. Only time will tell what the release dates hold for these two highly anticipated films.

What’s good:
Harsha shines in his debut, delivering funny lines and expressing himself well, just like in his previous work.
The film’s first half is full of humor, especially with the funny interactions between Harsha and the villagers. The actors, especially Balakrishna Neelakantapu, do a great job too.
What’s not so good:
The story is simple, but the movie could have been more exciting, especially in the second half. It gets a bit slow and loses some of its humor.
The emotional scenes in the second half aren’t as strong as they could be.
Some characters, like Divya Sripada and Harsha Vardhan, don’t have a big impact on the story.
Even cool moments like Harsha convincing Harsha Vardhan feel a bit awkward.
Tech stuff:
The director tried to make the film fun, but a stronger story and script would have made it better.
The music and cinematography are okay, but the editing flows smoothly. The sets are well-made, and the production looks good.
The verdict:
Sundaram Master is an okay comedy-drama. Harsha’s performance and the funny scenes are good, but the thin story, slow pace, and lack of strong emotions in the second half bring it down. You might want to consider other options this weekend.
