The upcoming series ‘P.I Meena’ has unveiled its trailer and it boasts of a dark, and intriguing, narrative, showing itself to be hardcore and intense detective drama. Following a murder made to look like an accident, actress Tanya Maniktala’s character of Meena, a private investigator, ends up encountering something far more dangerous.
Meena is a private investigator and while a brilliant detective as alluded to by the trailer, the cases that she has been handling have been rather menial for her, or at least not satisfactory to her at all.
One day, Meena ends up encountering a case, which may just become for her the case of a lifetime.
The synopsis of the series states: “A young private investigator is the eyewitness of a road accident. A young man is hit by a speeding truck. Happens all the time. Or, does it?

When asked about the response of the audience and critics, director Ghosh says, “Critics are showering their love by giving good star ratings. Most of our screens are in north India, and we have taken a good number of screens. Even the initial box-office collections are quite favourable. Almost all the screens continued in the second week as well. In fact, a few screens have even increased, and we are expecting a good response until the third week as well. I’m getting good responses from a few states.

A Mumbai Special Cbi Court on Friday acquitted actor Sooraj Pancholi in the sensational Jiah Khan death case, in which he was charged with abetment to suicide.
The verdict came almost 10 years after Jiah, 25 was found dead in her Mumbai flat in Sagar Sangeet apartments, Juhu, around midnight on June 3, 2013.
Days later, Sooraj — son of veteran actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab — was arrested and charged with abetment to suicide.
An American citizen, Jiah was stated to be in a relationship with Sooraj who was then trying to make his mark in Bollywood.
She apparently left a note, which pointed the needle of suspicion towards Sooraj, who was later arrested in connection with her death.
In a major shocker for Bollywood, Sooraj was booked under Ipc Section 306 for allegedly abetting Jiah’s suicide, a week after Jiah ended her life.

The makers of Telugu star Nani’s highly anticipated Pan Indian film Dasara have released the first single from the film, ‘Dhoom Dhaam Dhosthaan’. The number starts off as a typical Telangana-style folk song. However, Nani is seen saying that he wants energy levels to be up and therefore, offers a bottle of alcohol to the band. The pace and intensity of the number then increases, making it a foot-tapping street song.
Nani sports a rustic look for his character in the film. There is amazing synchronisation between Nani and the other dancers who dance with him. The batch kicks up the dust in the coal mines with their amazing and dynamic dance moves.
Santhosh Narayan has scored this song, which rises on the strength of the percussion used. Rahul Sipligunj, Palamuru Jangireddy, Narsamma, Gotte Kanakavva and Gannora Dasa Laxmi have sung the number, which has been penned by Kasarla Shyam in typical Telangana style.

ReviewThe Naxalite movement is sidelined in a love story that has a rebel without a cause at its centre.Sowmya RajendranVenu Udugula’s Virata Parvam borrows its title from the fourth book of the Indian epic Mahabharata which covers the exile of the Pandavas. In the film, set in the early ‘90s, the Naxalites form the righteous band of warriors living in exile in the forest. Their leader is Ravanna (a rugged Rana Daggubati), a poet whose fiery books espousing the Naxalite ideology are banned by the government. But his words find Vennela (Sai Pallavi), a naive young woman, who is entranced by his books and decides to find him. Mani Ratnam’s Ravanan (2010), a subversion of the Ramayana, was also a love story set in the backdrop of the Naxalite movement, with Sita eventually empathising with Ravanan’s fight for justice. Virata Parvam, though, is a fairly straightforward story.
