Sarzameen: Fans finally hear Ibrahim Ali Khan's voice in new promo; netizens ask ‘can tomorrow come any quicker'
Earlier this year in March, Saif Ali Khan's son Ibrahim Ali Khan made his Bollywood debut with Nadaaniyan, opposite Janhvi Kapoor's sister Khushi Kapoor. The two sadly failed to impress audiences and were brutally trolled for their poor performances. But fans as well as critics were open to giving the debutante another chance. So when it was announced that Ibrahim is returning to our screens with Sarzameen alongside Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran, we were obviously excited. The trailer further raised expectations, but netizens had one complaint — Ibrahim was impactful but had zero dialogues. Well, the man has now spoken in the film's newest promo. Ibrahim Ali Khan in Sarzameen That's right! A day before release, the makers of Sarzameen have dropped a brand new teaser starring Ibrahim Ali Khan. As we already witnessed in the trailer, Ibrahim's character is Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran's son who has somehow turned into a terrorist. In this clip, Ibrahim delivers a powerful dialogue. The star kid says, 'Haqeekat hun, ya sirf ek rooh. Kaun hun? Khoon mein lipta kafan hun. Dafan kiya koi kissa hun. Nafrat hun, tabahi hun, naa thamne waala toofan hun. Aa raha hun. Pooch lena apni Sarzameen se, kaun hun.' Well, fans are here for it! Under this video, many fans showered love. One such social media user gushed, 'THIS IS SO POWERFUL,' whereas another asked, 'CAN TOMORROW COME ANY QUICKER.' A comment read, 'What a performance Ibrahim Ali Khan bro❤️❤️,' while another wrote, 'Saif Ali khan ka beta ha sabit kardiya isne.' One fan even stated, 'Zabardast acting bro.' Clearly, Sarzameen has left a much deeper impact than Nadaaniyan on audiences, even before the film has released. Backed by filmmaker Karan Johar, Sarzameen marks the directorial debut of Boman Irani's son Kayoze Irani, who was Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra's co-star in their debut film Student of the Year (2012). The film is set to arrive on OTT on July 25.

All eyes are on Ayan Mukerji's War 2 ever since the teaser video was out. Fans have been pumped to see the lethal face-off of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Twitter Review: Is Pawan Kalyan's Telugu period actioner HIT or MISS? Check 13 tweets
All eyes have been on Pawan Kalyan 's recently released film Hari Hara Veera Mallu. The movie, with its solid casting and promising storyline, had created quite the buzz among fans and at the box office ahead of its theatrical launch. And now, as it has finally hit big screens, social media has been filled with reviews from netizens who watched it on its first day, first show. Hari Hara Veera Mallu Twitter review To begin with, HHVM has been described as a one-man show by the maximum number of viewers. Pawan Kalyan's presence in the character of Veera Mallu has been a driving force behind the entire storyline, from start to finish. Marking the senior Telugu actor's return to the big screen, audiences have loved his charismatic presence even now, and his performance has been tagged as outstanding. However, some critical opinions have also been noted about his energy apparently lagging in certain parts of the film. The first half of the film, combining its screenplay, narration, and plot, has been found to be gripping, while the second half appears to be lacking in many points. MM Keeravani's excellent background score is what has driven this portion of the film, propelling it towards its climax. There has been special mention of fight scenes and mass moments, especially punchlines, and cinematography has been lauded. Performances by Nidhhi Agerwal and Bobby Deol have been described as neat and in line with the plot's requirements. However, some netizens have found the film to be a far-fetched attempt at a period drama, which fails as a narrative. The VFX, according to some users, was visibly poor, and the dubbing also failed at certain points. Hari Hara Veera Mallu's post-theatrical OTT rights For the uninitiated, the makers of HHVM have partnered with Prime Video regarding the post-theatrical digital streaming rights of the film. The film will be available on this OTT platform once the movie has completed its mandatory theatrical window. When Pawan Kalyan broke silence on consecutive delays in HHVM's release During a pre-release press meet for his film, Pawan Kalyan addressed the frequent delays his film, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, faced in its theatrical release. The actor admitted that it was somewhat his fault that he was unable to join the shoot on many occasions due to his commitments in his political career. In his words, 'Especially, HHVM underwent turmoil. It survived two COVID phases and also a creative disturbance. After I shifted my focus to politics, I could not give my time to the shoot. But Rathnam garu worked hard to complete the film.'
