Akhanda 2: Thaandavam continues Balakrishna's godly warrior saga with a bio-weapon threat and virus antidote plot. NBK powers through with mass dialogues and action but cringeworthy writing, pointless direction, loud score, and miscasting drag it down. Opening and pre-interval shine, but second half collapses into over-the-top chaos lacking emotion. A wasted follow-up to the hit original.

Dhurandhar-Part 1, directed by Aditya Dhar, follows an Indian spy infiltrating Pakistani gangsters post the 1999 Kandahar hijack. Ranveer Singh shines as the undercover agent alongside stellar acts from Akshaye Khanna and R. Madhavan. Packed with strong performances, authentic direction, and adrenaline rushes, but dragged by lengthy runtime and excessive gore. A decent espionage thriller that feels like a detailed web series on big screen.
