One person wrote, 'The movie is packed with emotions and thrilling action in a rustic setting. Vijay Kanakamedala's direction is very good. Nara Rohith's calm power, Manchu Manoj's fierce villainy, and Bellamkonda's swag are 🔥🔥🔥.' An industry tracker, meanwhile, mentioned on social media, 'Sreenivas' performance stood out the most in interval and climax action episodes, easily making him the show stealer of the film.'
Also starring Jayasudha, Aditi Shankar, Aanandi, Divya Pillai, Ajay, Raja Ravindra, Sarath Lohitashwa, Sampath Raj, Sandeep Raj and Vennela Kishore, Bhairavam boasts cinematography by Hari K Vedantam, editing by Chota K Prasad, music by Sricharan Pakala and production design by Brahma Kadali.
Interestingly, Bhairavam is Bellamkonda Sreenivas' first film in two years after the critical and commercial failure Chatrapathi (2023). While Nara Rohith was last seen in Prathinidhi 2 (2024), Bhairavam marks the return of Manoj Manchu to the silver screen after seven years.

Telugu film body strike ends after CM's intervention
Hyderabad: The nearly three-week-long strike by the Telugu Film Industry Employees Federation, which brought film shooting in the region to a standstill, was called off on Thursday following the intervention of chief minister A Revanth Reddy. The CM engaged with all sections of the Telugu film industry, holding meetings with producers and representatives of the striking unions. After inquiring into the primary issues that led to the strike, he ensured that a "common solution acceptable to all stakeholders" was reached, resulting in the strike being called off. Revanth had also emphasised that the incumbent Congress govt, with the cooperation of the film industry, aims to transform Hyderabad into one of India's leading film hubs and a true film capital.

"The film industry will have a dedicated chapter in the Congress govt's Telangana Rising vision document, which aims to achieve $3 trillion economy. This vision document will be unveiled on or before December 9 this year," the chief minister said. The Telugu film industry had come to a complete halt since August 4, after the employees' federation launched a strike demanding a wage increase. Producers had suspended all shoots, with the film chamber stating it could not accommodate the workers' demand for a 30% pay rise. The strike had prompted several production houses to consider relocating from Hyderabad. The city serves as a production centre for Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, and other language films.

Ram Gopal Varma slams ‘dumb' dog lovers, netizens fire back; catch all his controversial posts on Supreme Court's verdict row
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has responded strongly to a section of social media calling him a 'dog hater' after he supported the Supreme Court's decision to move all stray dogs in Delhi-NCR to shelters within eight weeks. Filmmaker responds to dog hater allegations On August 21, Varma took to X (formerly Twitter) to explain his stance, saying the stray dog problem has gone too far to ignore and solutions must balance compassion with practicality. In his post, Varma wrote, 'Giving a thought to the possible solutions, vaccinating some 8 crore dogs sounds great in your drawing room setting. In reality, try chasing down one street dog with a needle and multiply that by crores. And even if vaccinated, the dogs' minds won't suddenly turn into gentle deer-like minds, they'll still tear children apart. Only difference: now the kids will die with their throats ripped out, but without rabies.' He also addressed cleanliness drives, adding, 'Expecting the system to sterilize crores of dogs and maintain perfect garbage hygiene is like expecting pigs to wear pants.' Criticism of pet owners and adoption practices On adoption, Varma said, 'The dog lovers who cry hoarse about compassion are the same people buying foreign breeds to keep them in luxury houses, which are well looked after by expensive vets. Just try to tell the dog lovers to take stray dogs in exchange for their pedigreed breeds.' Varma criticized community feeding as well, writing, 'When the dog lovers feed strays in one spot, they will gather in packs and become highly territorial and start attacking passersby, children, cyclists, delivery boys, even old people, because they then will see humans as 'intruders' near their feeding zone. Just remember how even your pet dog seems to get aggressive when feeding.' He further noted, 'Feeding usually happens on street corners, garbage heaps, or outside temples. Food scraps mix with sewage and rotting matter, turning into putrid, disease-breeding sludge, and the stray packs will wallow in this filth and then wander into the streets, spreading diseases.' Giving a thought to the possible solutions, vaccinating some 8 crore dogs sounds great in your drawing room setting . In reality, try chasing down one street dog with a needle and multiply that by crores. And even if vaccinated, the dogs minds won't suddenly turn into gentle… Public reactions and online debate The comment section quickly filled with opinions, reigniting the debate. One user wrote, "I hope you research your films better than this story you are spinning. Why don't you use some data? It would be more believable." Another user said, "You can write long posts with your thoughts, and we can still smell leftist ideology in this one." I hope you research your films better than this story that you are spinning. Why don't you talk with some data. It will be more believable. Maybe start by reading Freakonomics chapter on neighbors with gun vs those with swimming pool homes. You can write such lengthy text with your thoughts and we can smell leftist ideology in this post. Varma's strong response to critics Before this, Varma shared another post addressing the same issue. A part of his post read, "To all those dumb dog lovers who think I am a dog hater, I say this—are you so blind, deaf, and brain-dead that you can't see children being bitten, mauled, and killed on CCTV videos everywhere? Can't you read the official reports on rising rabies cases? In any emergency—fire, flood, riots—you first deal with immediate dangers before debating long-term solutions." To all those DUMB DOG LOVERS out there, who think I am a DOG HATER , I say this.. Are you so blind, deaf and brain-dead that you can't see children being bitten , mauled and killed on CCTV videos all over the place ?Can't you f…ing read the official reports on exploding… Take a look at how netizens reacted to this. Calling people 'brain-dead' doesn't make you intelligent. If you really care about kids' safety, shout at failed municipalities who ignored vaccination & sterilisation, not at dog lovers. Supreme Court said balance, not butchery. Hate speeches don't save lives responsible action… Nobody denies the danger of stray dog attacks kids' safety must come painting every dog lover as blind/brain-dead doesn't help. What's needed is urgent action + humane long-term solutions (vaccination, sterilization, shelters). Earlier satirical posts on animal lovers Earlier, on August 16, Varma had shared a series of posts criticizing animal lovers who opposed the Supreme Court's order. He offered satirical 'solutions' for critics, writing, 'Since you worship dogs more than humans, replace gods in temples with strays and pray to them for salvation.' Here are my 10 points addressing the DOG LOVERS who are UPSET about the SUPREME COURT'S decision on STRAY DOGS 1. People are being bitten and killed all over by stray dogs. And dog lovers are busy tweeting about dog rights.😳 can love your pets in your… He also said, 'If the dog lovers are blaming the government administrators, they should go and bite the officers and politicians on their legs.' And if the dog lovers are blaming the government administrators , they should go and bite the officers and politicians on their legs and also various other parts of their bodies for them to speed up on solutions .. But meanwhile they should think of the poor kids who are being… Check out a few more posts from him. Bottom line is anybody can love any god created creature whether it's a human , dog, cat , mosquito ,rat , corona virus etc as long as they are in their home , but here we are talking about stray dogs killing children on streets A dog is loyal only because it doesn't know how to be disloyal … and I say to all the radical dog lovers out there , when you say ' Dogs are better than humans ' it's a comment on the particular humans around you , and not really on your particular dogs Rich women carry their precious dogs on their shoulders, while their own babies are burdened on their maid's shoulders ..That's dog lovers for you ..Maybe they were stray dogs in their previous birth Supreme Court directive on stray dogs The Supreme Court's directive, issued by a bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan, instructs that all stray dogs in Delhi and the NCR be captured within eight weeks and housed in special shelters created by civic authorities. The court clarified that once a stray is caught, it will not be released back onto the streets. Anyone obstructing the process could face contempt of court proceedings. Authorities are also required to launch a dedicated helpline for reporting dog bite incidents, with the dog to be caught within four hours of a complaint. Following criticism and backlash, a separate three-judge bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta, and NV Anjaria has reserved its order on an interim plea seeking a stay on the directive.

Close behind Baaghi 4 is Pawan Kalyan's They Call Him OG, securing the second spot with 13.8%.

The movie is slated to release on August 29. Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi's Jolly LLB 3 (9.9%), scheduled for September 19 release, finds itself in fourth position currently, proving that courtroom drama-comedies still hold wide audience appeal even in a crowded lineup of mega-budget entertainers. Add as a Preferred Source The fifth to tenth positions show a diverse mix of genres and industries, signalling how anticipation in Indian cinema is no longer confined to just one region or style. Anime-inspired Mirai (9.5%) has carved its way into the fifth slot, while Lokah Chapter One: Chandra (8.7%) and The Bengal Files (6.9%) further add to the range with fantasy storytelling and politically charged drama, respectively.
