Upcoming Movie Reviews: 9, Spyder, Paheli, Koyla
Busy week of reviews! I’m finally gonna tackle Paheli, I’m going to try to force you all to watch Koyla, and I’m digging in to Prithviraj’s big budget international funded release. And I am going to try to force you all to watch a surprisingly good big budget Telugu film that flopped.

Box Office Report: Mahanubhavudu Continues the Telugu Trend, Chef Fails to Sizzle
Another depressing week at the box office! Which people are trying to spin as good thanks to Judwaa breaking Badrinath Ki Dulhania‘s record.

Spyder Review (No SPOILERS): An Action Movie About Human Connections

Certainly better than the movie I saw last night. (Spoiler review for this going up on Tuesday, the usual Tuesday Telugu)
Upcoming Movies! Spyder and Victoria & Abdul and Tubelight
This is thanks to two commentators, Filmilibrarian who reminded me about Victoria & Abdul, and Niki who sent me the Spyder teaser seconds after it dropped. Oh, and then Salman Khan who tweeted the new Tubelight song this morning.
