Power Star Pawan Kalyan is back on the big screen… but was Ustaad Bhagat Singh actually worth the wait?In this episode of Paisa Vasool, we break down Harish Shankar’s latest commercial entertainer and ask the big question: is this a proper comeback film, or just another outdated mass masala template?We get into the routine first half, the strange tonal shift in the second half, the forced politics, the comedy that mostly doesn’t land, and whether this really deserves to be compared to Gabbar Singh.If you’ve watched Ustaad Bhagat Singh and have thoughts, this one’s for you.YouTube: https://youtu.be/j4G2Xr3GcOc⏱️ Timestamps00:24 Intro00:54 Pawan Kalyan is back… and so are we01:08 Harish Shankar’s mixed filmography02:01 Is this really as good as Gabbar Singh?02:24 Music drama: DSP out, Thaman in03:53 First impressions04:21 We’ve seen this movie a million times before04:55 First half = jokes, second half = action?05:37 Why the second half really lost us06:29 Is there still an audience for this kind of film?07:13 Better than Mr. Bachchan?07:47 Why the action feels pointless08:33 Why the movie feels so low effort11:11 Wasn’t this supposed to be a Theri remake?11:38 Rashi Khanna didn’t need to be in this movie12:41 The romance track is uncomfortable13:57 First half structure breakdown14:41 Gabbar Singh callbacks and fan service16:00 Why the “parallel universe” stuff is weird16:54 Using old songs in the film17:47 The repetitive Harish Shankar elevation shot19:03 Dumb villain logic19:51 Random terrorist angle?!20:27 Why we can’t recommend it21:38 Is it actually as good as Gabbar Singh?22:52 Ranking it against Harish Shankar’s older films23:29 What’s next on Paisa Vasool23:35 How to reach us📲 Follow us:🔗 Instagram: @paisavasoolpod🔗 TikTok: @paisavasool6📧 Email: cognitiverecalibrationpodcast@gmail.comThe equipment we use:Rode Podmic: https://amzn.to/2LSeJPbRodecaster Pro: https://amzn.to/3bLykLPRode PSA1 Boom Arm: https://amzn.to/2M0ujIpXLR Cables: https://amzn.to/38QTEOgåIf you want to support this podcast so we can keep producing our content for free consider the following options:Amazon Affiliate Link: https://amzn.to/3gjnw87åBuy us a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/CRecalibrationAcast Supporter: https://supporter.acast.com/cognitive-recalibrationIf you enjoy our content, don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Our final Sankranthi 2026 review is here — we watched Anaganaga Oka Raju, starring Naveen Polishetty and Meenakshi Chaudhary.This one is basically dialogue-driven, back-to-back comedy with a bare minimum storyline… and it lives or dies on Naveen’s delivery. We talk:why it works (especially in the first half),why it still feels routine for a “3-years-in-the-making” Naveen film,the tonal shift near the end,random song placements + a fight that feels out of character,and our final Sankranthi ranking across the movies we watched.If you watched it — did the jokes land for you, or did it bounce? 😄Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/D-RFoXwCup0⏱️ Timestamps0:24 - Welcome + final Sankranthi episode setup0:29 - Film info: Naveen/Meenakshi, debut director, music changes1:05 - Delays + Naveen’s accident context1:36 - First impressions: “bare bones story, comedy heavy”1:49 - Tarun’s verdict: best of the Sankranthi bunch3:20 - Sravan’s expectations vs reality: routine Naveen film3:45 - Why it depends on Telugu delivery (subs won’t hit the same)4:54 - Tone shift late in the film + why it feels abrupt5:52 - Random fight + awkward song placements (incl. item song)6:44 - Compared to Naveen’s other films (Jathi Ratnalu, Agent etc.)7:43 - Spoiler-ish: second half becomes an election campaign8:53 - “Reel” turning point + seriousness at the end9:21 - Sankranthi rankings: where this sits vs the others11:26 - Debate: why this ranks higher (less offensive / more vanilla)14:24 - Overall Sankranthi quality + why none are “rewatch classics”15:38 - Naveen’s career + why the long gaps16:57 - What’s next: maybe “Jana Nayagan”, Rajamouli rewatches17:55 - How to follow/contact + wrap-up📲 Follow us:🔗 Instagram: @paisavasoolpod🔗 TikTok: @paisavasool6📧 Email: cognitiverecalibrationpodcast@gmail.comThe equipment we use:Rode Podmic: https://amzn.to/2LSeJPbRodecaster Pro: https://amzn.to/3bLykLPRode PSA1 Boom Arm: https://amzn.to/2M0ujIpXLR Cables: https://amzn.to/38QTEOgåIf you want to support this podcast so we can keep producing our content for free consider the following options:Amazon Affiliate Link: https://amzn.to/3gjnw87åBuy us a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/CRecalibrationAcast Supporter: https://supporter.acast.com/cognitive-recalibrationIf you enjoy our content, don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Sankranthi 2026 kicks off with The Rajasaab — and yes… it’s a romantic horror comedy starring Rebel Star Prabhas, directed by Maruthi. 🎭👻We watched it on opening night and walked out feeling like this movie has moments… but also feels choppy, overstuffed, and weirdly edited — like entire scenes vanished between the trailer and the final cut. From the “this could be interesting” bits to the “wait… what is even real?” climax chaos (hello crocodile + giant 🐊👊), we break down what worked, what didn’t, and why this might be getting more hate than it deserves online.⚠️ Spoilers start mid-episode — we clearly mark the chapter.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7hWLpaJVDJo⏱️ Timestamps0:24 Intro + Happy New Year / Sankranthi1:10 Maruthi filmography + expectations for Rajasaab2:34 Genre check: romantic horror comedy + release delays + budget blowout3:32 First impressions: “has moments” but feels incoherent4:48 Missing trailer scenes + choppy edits5:24 Is it better than Radhe Shyam / Adipurush?

This episode, we switch gears completely and review Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar (Uri: The Surgical Strike).With a massive cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, Dhurandhar is a sprawling, intense, and brutally violent political thriller loosely inspired by real events.In this episode, Sravan and Tarun discuss:Whether a 3.5-hour runtime is justifiedRanveer Singh’s performance vs his real-life personaWhy the film is technically excellent but emotionally drainingComparisons to Chhaava and AnimalThe violence, pacing, rewatch value, and chapter-based structureWhy this works as cinema, but not as comfort viewingThis is one of the better-made films of the year, even if it’s not one you’ll rush to rewatch.Let us know what you thought — did Dhurandhar live up to the hype?Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-gxdwcxGWDE🕒 Timestamps 00:24 – Welcome to Paisa Vasool + Dhurandhar intro01:09 – Aditya Dhar after Uri + cast overview01:45 – Akshaye Khanna appreciation02:30 – Supporting cast: Sanjay Dutt, Madhavan, Arjun Rampal03:08 – Budget, box office & reception03:48 – “Loosely based on true events” discussion04:17 – Initial reactions: intense but well made05:05 – Structure, chapters & technical execution05:33 – Acting performances across the cast06:01 – Violence & brutality warning06:23 – Comparisons to Chhaava06:57 – Rewatch value discussion07:22 – Sequel confirmation07:39 – Ranveer Singh performance breakdown08:33 – Career comparison & recent films09:06 – Violence vs Animal09:45 – Pakistan setting & Thailand shoot10:20 – Language & authenticity discussion10:44 – Runtime & pacing issues11:05 – First half vs second half11:24 – Final recommendation11:49 – OTT viewing potential12:11 – Chapter format & series idea12:44 – Year-end plans & future episodes13:16 – Where to find Paisa Vasool13:52 – Why good films sometimes spark less debate14:14 – Historical accuracy disclaimer14:30 – Comparison to Raazi15:05 – Final thoughts & wrap-up📲 Follow us:🔗 Instagram: @paisavasoolpod🔗 TikTok: @paisavasool6📧 Email: cognitiverecalibrationpodcast@gmail.comThe equipment we use:Rode Podmic: https://amzn.to/2LSeJPbRodecaster Pro: https://amzn.to/3bLykLPRode PSA1 Boom Arm: https://amzn.to/2M0ujIpXLR Cables: https://amzn.to/38QTEOgåIf you want to support this podcast so we can keep producing our content for free consider the following options:Amazon Affiliate Link: https://amzn.to/3gjnw87åBuy us a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/CRecalibrationAcast Supporter: https://supporter.acast.com/cognitive-recalibrationIf you enjoy our content, don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode.
