Tollywood chokes as wage dispute triggers industry-wide strike
Hyderabad: The Telugu film industry, better known as Tollywood, has come to a standstill as the Telugu Film Employees Federation initiated an indefinite strike, halting film and web series productions across both Telugu states. The strike stems from a long-pending demand for wage revision — a 30 per cent hike for over 10,000 workers spanning 24 departments, including lighting, set design, makeup, and costumes. The current daily wage stands at Rs 1,400, unchanged for the past three years. Former Federation General Secretary Rajeswar Reddy expressed frustration, stating, 'Despite multiple meetings with producers, there has been no progress. Workers who are the backbone of sets deserve better. Until our demands are accepted in writing, there will be no return to work.' As a result, several high-budget projects have stalled. In response, the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC) issued a statement condemning the strike and claimed that wages already exceed statutory norms. 'This disruption will cause serious financial losses. We urge producers to refrain from making separate deals with unions,' said TFCC Secretary K.L. Damodar Prasad. Adding fuel to the fire, the TFCC recently passed a resolution allowing producers to hire any skilled workers — unionized or not — intensifying the standoff. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, senior producers C. Kalyan, Allu Aravind, Suresh Babu, Mythri Ravi Shankar, and Supriya Yarlagadda met actor Chiranjeevi at his residence on Monday to seek his intervention. C. Kalyan revealed, 'Chiranjeevi garu advised against abrupt halts in shootings and expressed interest in hearing the workers' side. He promised to step in personally if the issue remains unresolved within two to three days.' Meanwhile, Telangana Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy weighed in, acknowledging the workers' plight amid rising costs in Hyderabad. 'Salary hikes are necessary. We've appointed Dil Raju to mediate. I will also meet with workers post my Delhi visit to help facilitate a fair resolution,' he assured. As Tollywood reels from this sudden pause, all eyes are on industry leaders and government mediators to break the deadlock. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether the cameras roll again or the industry faces a prolonged standstill.

My Oxford Year movie review: Netflix's Saiyaara-coded weepy is no better than a Mohit Suri movie
What begins like an In the Heights-style story about upward mobility and female ambition turns into what can only be described as a Mohit Suri movie. Saiyaara won't leave you alone no matter how hard you try. The sappy tone of Suri's films, borrowed from the cinema of more countries than the average Indian will ever visit in their lifetime, has swung all the way back around and influenced the likes of My Oxford Year. It's perhaps the most algorithmic film that Netflix has released in recent memory. Starring two of the streamer's newest alums — Sofia Carson from The Life List and Corey Mylchreest from Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story — the film makes you wonder if it was produced only because the filmmakers gained no-holds-barred access to the University of Oxford. This backwards way of functioning used to be quite common in Bollywood, when 'briefcase producers' would 'sign' movie stars first, and only then concoct vague stories around song-and-dance numbers and random set pieces. My Oxford Year is based on a novel by Julia Whelan, and has been produced by the same company behind the Twilight movies; you can almost imagine the producers dusting off piles of film rights to books from up-and-coming authors, and pitching them one after another to Netflix. Always in the market for something that can be watched while filing your taxes, the streamer would've lapped My Oxford Year up hungrily. Also read – The Idea of You movie review: Anne Hathaway is spectacularly good in Prime Video's steamy romantic drama For around 45 minutes, it seems like the most risqué thing that My Oxford Year can do is to get you to root for a relationship between a brilliant American student and her (admittedly young) professor. They two might be in the same age bracket, but there's something obviously very scandalous about such an arrangement. As the quintessential rom-com heroine, Anna is plucky, individualistic, and driven. Her transition into subservience feels entirely rushed, and bizarrely regressive. But this happens only after her professor, Jamie, reveals a dark secret about himself. This was the reason behind his reluctance to fully commit to her after a breezy courtship across the Oxford grounds, while the movie allowed you to assume that he was just being a rake. It wouldn't be fair to reveal the plot twist here, but anybody who has ever slept through a Nicholas Sparks film can probably tell what happens. My Oxford Year's tone changes almost instantly after the big reveal, which practically pushes director Iain Morris into a narrative corner. He isn't the first person you'd think of to direct a film like My Oxford Year; Morris is best known as the creator of the very incel-coded British sitcom The Inbetweeners — the franchise, which spawned two hit films, has aged rather poorly. And although My Oxford Year is primarily presented through a woman's perspective, the male entitlement of Morris' cinema seeps through. Read more – One Day review: The perfect Netflix series, a tear-jerker of Titanic proportions Carson is perfectly fine in the lead role, which was perhaps first offered to a more established Netflix star such as Millie Bobby Brown, who last appeared in the Russo Brothers' The Electric State. She wasn't exactly hurt by that film's disastrous performance, and Carson will likely escape unscathed as well. This is the beauty of streaming films; most of them are so terrible, they're forgotten within days of release. It's a win-win situation for the young actors headlining them; by next week, it will almost be as if My Oxford Year never happened. Certainly, that's what Mylchreest would hope. He can learn from his fellow Bridgerton breakout Rege-Jean Page, who also took the Russo Brothers route to movie stardom and barely survived, unlike Jonathan Bailey, who chose to play a supporting role in the theatrical hits Wicked and Jurassic World Rebirth instead. The one thing going for My Oxford Year is that it has been filmed on location, inside several landmark buildings. This gives the movie a distinct whiff of Hogwarts. Plus, Anna immediately makes a couple of Ron and Hermione-adjacent new friends, who come and go as they please. In one scene, Jamie takes Anna to the Bodleian Library, which has to be one of the most romantic date spots ever. It does the trick for their relationship. They also frequent a local gyro cart and make friends with the owner, Dimitri. But all of this happens in the first half. Like a Hindi movie, My Oxford Year transforms after an hour into a different beast altogether; not necessarily one that you'd signed up for. Only romance completists will be able to tolerate its treacly sentimentality, because My Oxford Year is the kind of movie that makes you want to go on a detox immediately afterwards.

‘Chubby, Asian, India': What Desis Are Really Searching For On OnlyFans
Last Updated: In India, user searches go beyond short-term fantasies. They reflect a deeper yearning for connection. OnlyFans continues to rise in popularity, with a growing number of users and creators worldwide, including a notable surge in India. As a key player in the creator economy, the platform enables individuals to earn money by sharing content directly with their fans. Now, OnlyGuider has released the first-ever psychological analysis of user behaviour across 49 countries, aiming to understand what people are truly seeking on adult platforms like OnlyFans. In India, user searches go beyond short-term fantasies. They reflect a deeper yearning for connection, a quiet form of resistance, and a complex negotiation of identity. According to the research, the country's top search categories reveal a picture of a society deeply tied to cultural roots yet increasingly curious about transgressive experiences. According to the data shared by the platform, India's top search terms on OnlyFans include: 'India, Chubby, Asian, Korea, Japan, Milf, Blonde and Couple." Although it might appear to be normal in the adult content landscape, they provide insight into the Indian erotic mindset. According to the survey, the fact that India ranks first on the list of keywords demonstrates the trend of Indians 'looking inwards first". The report reads, 'This isn't just about seeking Indian stuff; it's about familiarity, language, aesthetics, and emotional connection. In a society where family, community, and identity are deeply rooted, a person must feel familiar in order to feel safe. Indian consumers aren't fleeing their reality; they're eroticising it." Indian Users Looking For Indian Content On OnlyFans At a time when global media still focuses on Western beauty and desire, Indian people looking for Indian content creators may be reclaiming their territory, which might be a subtle form of postcolonial rebellion. This highlights a desire for bodies that resemble real life, not magazine covers. It's as if the private search is accepting vulnerability and alternate beauty, something that public settings continue to struggle with. According to the study, India's top OnlyFans searches are about more than just sex; they are about self-worth, comfort, rebellion, and hope. They are about recovering the right to desire in one's own language, body and manner. What Do Psychologists Have To Say? Aditya Sundarary, an Ahmedabad-based counselling psychologist, told ThePrint, 'There is a growing feeling of inclusivity developing, largely as a result of Indians' early exposure to Western pornography." He added, 'For a long time, we were made to think that attractiveness must fit into a specific Western mould, that this is how one should appear to be desirable. However, with the emergence of Indian categories and material, that notion is being questioned and, in many cases, rejected." Indian Content Making Its Space As per the research, the Indian content ranks among the top ten searches in other nations such as Australia, Canada, Brazil, France, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. view comments First Published: August 06, 2025, 08:18 IST News viral 'Chubby, Asian, India': What Desis Are Really Searching For On OnlyFans Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
