Ravi Basrur's much-anticipated Kannada film 'Veera Chandrahasa' has finally made its OTT debut. Released theatrically on April 18, 2025, the mythological action drama impressed audiences in Karnataka, delivering solid box office results and positive word-of-mouth. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Without much prior announcement, the film quietly began streaming on Amazon Prime Video from May 31, 2025, allowing audiences to experience its grand storytelling from the comfort of their homes. Chandrahasa's fascinating story 'Veera Chandrahasa' tells the fascinating and inspiring story of a boy named Chandrahasa. Abandoned in the forest as an infant, he is found by Kulinda, a nobleman from Kuntala, who raises the child with love and care. Chandrahasa, named for his radiant smile, grows up to be a virtuous and kind-hearted young man. However, his journey is far from easy — dark forces constantly scheme against him, plotting his downfall. Yet, with unwavering faith and the power of virtue, Chandrahasa overcomes every obstacle, each time turning his enemies' schemes against them. The film beautifully portrays his life as one shaped by divine protection, making it not just a story of survival, but a moving tribute to resilience, virtue, and destiny. A peek into the making of KGF starring Yash in the lead Talented Cast The film features a talented ensemble led by Shithil Shetty in the title role, with strong performances by Nagashree G S, Prasanna Shettigar Mandarti, and Uday Kadabaal. The supporting cast includes Ravindra Devadiga, Nagaraj Servegar, Gunashree M Nayak, Shridhar Kasarkodu, Shwetha Arehole, and Prajwal Kinnal. Our verdict We gave the movie a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and our official review read, 'The film feels as though you are watching a Yakshagana play that has added the best cinematic touch with vibrant colours and camera. In Yakshagana, besides Chande, Maddale, costumes, the kunitha is also equally important. One of the highlights of Yakshagana, the Kunitha (Dance of Yakshagana), has taken a backseat in the film. Also, the film is strictly for those who want to know more about the world of Yakshagana. If the art form is not of your interest, the film may evoke mixed feelings.'

Miss World Opal Suchata plans to visit Ram Mandir
Hyderabad/Mumbai:Opal Suchata Chuangsri from Thailand, who has been crowned the Miss World 2025, has shared that she plans to visit many temples in India, and the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is on her list. After her massive win in the Miss World contest, Opal spoke about the cultural ties between India and Thailand. She said, 'I would love to visit so many temples here in India. I think it's very charming and like I said that we share a lot of cultures and traditions between India and Thailand. So, it would be great to visit and to know those places'. India and Thailand share a long history of cultural and commercial relations. In Thailand, the 'Ramayana' is known as 'Ramakien'. The Indian epic profoundly influenced Thai literature, art, and royal traditions. The story, while based on the original Indian Ramayana, has been adapted into a distinctive Thai version with its own interpretations and cultural nuances. Lord Hanuman is given a more prominent role in the Thai version and is sometimes portrayed with a more playful character. Opal also shared her message for the women of Telangana, the state where the Miss World 2025 grand finale was held. She said, 'I would say that first meeting all of the women here in Telangana, India. You all have really inspired me on this journey with all your strength and resilience and the beauty from within all of you. And all the support and caring that I have received from all of the women here in India. And I think that they are very strong and very capable of all the things they wanted to do in life'. Opal has been crowned Miss World 2025 in a star-studded grand finale ceremony which was held in Hyderabad on Saturday. She edged out Hasset Dereje Admassu of Ethiopia in the grand finale as the latter emerged as the runner-up. For the ceremony, Opal donned a white gown adorned with opal-like florals.
