Chatha Pacha is an upcoming Malayalam film — a wrestling-action drama inspired by underground/WWE-style wrestling clubs, set in Fort Kochi.

In the film, Roshan Mathew plays a character named Vetri.

According to recent posters and the teaser revealed by the makers, Vetri is portrayed as a “fierce wrestler.” The character’s first-look poster shows Roshan in a rugged, intense avatar — sports a wrestling-ring vibe, and even appears with a macaw on his shoulder in some promotional art.

In the newly released character poster, Vetri looks intense and unrecognizable — a marked transformation for Roshan.

? Film status

Chatha Pacha began shooting in mid-2025. The film is slated for a theatrical release in January 2026

The technical team and production backing are quite strong — including music by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy (their Malayalam debut), a noted cinematographer, and action choreography by experienced stunt designers.

Karthi's Vaa Vaathiyaar trailer has just dropped, showing a mix of action, drama — and a lot of style.

In the film, Karthi plays a cop who has grown up idolizing MGR — and that nostalgia comes through strongly in the trailer’s vibe.

?‍?‍? Cast

The movie also stars Krithi Shetty, and features a supporting cast including Sathyaraj, Rajkiran among others.

? Release info

The film was slated for release on December 12, 2025. 

G.V. Prakash Kumar’s committed his next film with debutant director Maria Raja Elanchezian. The film has officially been titled Happy Raj. The female lead is Sri Gouri Priya.

Besides GV Prakash and Sri Gouri Priya, the film also stars Abbas — marking his comeback to Tamil cinema after a long gap (about 11–12 years). Other supporting cast includes names like George Mariyam, Prarthna, Adhirchi Arun, Madurai Muthu, and more.

According to director Maria Raja Elanchezian, Happy Raj aims to be a “high-spirited celebration of joy in cinema.” He described it as a film meant to bring optimism and light — “inner sunshine” — rather than just typical action or drama.

There are hints that GV Prakash might be playing a “superhero-esque” character in the film.

The title and first-look posters have been released recently.

The film seems to be positioning itself as a feel-good entertainer, likely aiming for a lighter, uplifting tone — a contrast to heavy action thrillers.

The much-awaited horror drama “Diés Iraé” has finally dropped on OTT, giving fans a fresh chance to experience its eerie atmosphere and intense suspense. The film, which created a strong buzz during its theatrical release, is now easily accessible for streaming — perfect for viewers who missed watching it on the big screen.

Review

Jatadhara aims to blend mythology and horror with a big visual scale. The story idea is strong, but the screenplay feels uneven and some scenes lack impact.

• Good production scale and atmospheric setup

Verdict

Plot

Kuttram Purindhavan follows Bhaskaran (Pasupathy), a quiet government pharmacist nearing retirement. His life derails when he helps a struggling family and unknowingly gets dragged into a missing-girl case.

What begins as a simple act of kindness turns into a chain of secrets, guilt, and buried truths. As the investigation tightens, every character’s hidden side begins to surface — questioning who is innocent, who is guilty, and who is pretending.

This is not a regular police-vs-criminal thriller. Instead, it’s a psychological crime drama that explores how an ordinary man gets trapped in extraordinary circumstances.

Streaming Platform

Sony LIV

Runtime / Episodes

7 Episodes

Approx. 30–40 mins each

Available Languages

Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi

Trailer

Cast

• Pasupathy as Bhaskaran
• Vidharth as the investigating officer
• Lakshmi Priyaa Chandramouli
• Lizzie Antony
• Supporting cast: multiple strong performers in realistic roles

Review

Kuttram Purindhavan stands out for its slow-burn intensity. The series doesn’t rush — it builds tension scene by scene with disturbing revelations.

Pasupathy delivers a powerhouse performance, playing a man whose silence hides layers of guilt, fear, and vulnerability. Vidharth’s grounded police characterization adds authenticity, while Lakshmi Priyaa offers emotional strength.

The tone stays raw and realistic — no over-the-top action, no forced twists. Instead, the show focuses on psychology, emotions, and the consequences of hidden mistakes.

A few episodes progress slowly, but once the core mystery tightens, the payoff is worth it.

Why to Watch

• Strong performance by Pasupathy
• Dark, gripping, psychological crime thriller
• Realistic investigation without melodrama
• Intense emotional depth and layered writing
• For viewers who enjoy slow, clever, character-driven thrillers
• Multiple language availability on Sony LIV

Who Will Like It

• Fans of crime, mystery, and psychological thrillers
• Viewers who enjoy shows like Suzhal, Vadhandhi, or Inspector Rishi
• People who prefer realistic investigations over mass action
• Audiences who love slow, intense, character-focused storytelling
• Anyone who likes morally grey characters and deep emotional conflicts

Verdict

Kuttram Purindhavan is a gripping, well-written Tamil crime thriller driven by performances, not gimmicks.

If you enjoy layered mysteries that explore human guilt and hidden truths, this is definitely worth watching.

There is a special kind of elegance Jonita Gandhi radiates — the calm, composed glow of a woman who doesn’t need loud styling to make a powerful impression. In this intimate, sun-washed frame, she sits effortlessly poised, wrapped in the warm light of a late morning and the sensual minimalism of a black slip dress. The result? A moment that feels cinematic, artistic, and deeply alluring.

The Outfit: A Black Slip Dress That Speaks in Silhouette

The black slip she wears is the kind of timeless piece that transforms simplicity into style. Its thin straps rest delicately on her shoulders, while the fabric drapes smoothly across her frame, skimming her curves without clinging.

It’s minimal, yes — but luxuriously minimal.

A style that belongs in a high-end editorial, where the dress isn’t the centerpiece… the woman is.

The soft flow of the outfit accentuates her waist, adds subtle contouring to her hips, and creates a long, fluid line down her legs. It’s the perfect blend of understated glamour and quiet confidence.

Her Figure: Graceful, Sculpted, Feminine

Jonita has the kind of figure that looks both delicate and strong — a balance that makes her presence effortlessly magnetic.

In this relaxed pose, her legs extend elegantly across the bed, the soft natural light highlighting their smooth contours. Her posture is half-relaxed, half-composed — giving the frame both intimacy and intention.

Her form is not styled to impress; it impresses because it is unforced, natural, and artfully framed by the ambience around her.

The Mood & Allure: Slow-Burn, Sunlit Sensuality

There’s a certain softness that wraps the entire scene — the kind that comes from quiet spaces, warm light, and a woman completely at ease in her own presence.

Her expression carries a gentle intensity; her eyes calm, her posture serene.

The sunlight filters through the curtains just enough to create a halo-like warmth around her, turning the moment into a still from an indie romance film.

This is allure that doesn’t try — it simply exists.

A slow burn rather than a spark.

A vibe rather than a pose.

Her Glam: Effortless Hair, Bare-Skin Brilliance

Her hair falls in soft, easy waves — the kind that look touchably real, not overly styled.

It frames her face with natural movement, adding a romantic softness that contrasts beautifully with the bold simplicity of the outfit.

Her skin carries a dewy, natural glow — the kind where light kisses the cheekbones, not makeup. It’s the beauty of authenticity, not excess.
