Tulu cinema, lovingly called Coastalwood, has always had a special flavour. It is rooted in the soil of Tulunadu, filled with local humour, family emotions, coastal culture, theatre-style performances, folk energy and a language that instantly connects with people from Mangaluru, Udupi, Kasaragod and the Tulu-speaking diaspora.

Lord Hanuman is one of the most powerful, loved and emotionally respected characters in Indian mythology. In cinema, playing Hanuman is not just another mythological role. It demands physical strength, innocence, devotion, humility, energy and a sense of divine presence. Over the decades, many actors have stepped into the role of Hanuman in Indian films. Some became iconic. Some became forgotten names from the golden age of mythological cinema. Some are now preparing to redefine the character for the new generation. Here is a look at actors who have portrayed Hanuman in films and how each version reflected the cinema of its time. S. N. Tripathi – One of the Early Hanumans of Indian Cinema Before Hanuman became a mass pop-culture image on television and modern cinema, mythological films had already created a space for the character. One of the important early names was S. N. Tripathi. S. N. Tripathi was not just an actor. He was also a music composer, singer and director. He became asso...

In today’s Tamil cinema, “Part 2” is no longer just a surprise. Sometimes, it is part of the marketing itself. A film releases with a grand universe, a cliffhanger, a teaser for the next chapter, or even a public statement from the makers saying that the story will continue. But cinema has one strict rule: audience response decides the future . When Part 1 becomes a blockbuster, Part 2 becomes a celebration. But when Part 1 receives mixed reviews, weak collections, trolling, or loses theatrical momentum, the planned sequel often disappears into silence. Some films are not officially cancelled, but they stop moving with the same confidence. Here are Tamil films where a second chapter was planned, teased, or strongly expected — but the first film’s response changed the mood completely. 1. Kanguva – The Most Recent Big Example Kanguva was not promoted like a simple standalone Suriya film. It was sold as a huge pan-Indian fantasy world, with the makers openly speaking about a second part ...

Assamese cinema has always had a special way of presenting love. Unlike mainstream commercial industries where romance often becomes larger than life, Assamese romantic films usually carry the smell of tea gardens, the softness of old melodies, the emotional weight of family, and the beauty of simple human relationships. Romance in Assamese cinema is not just about two people falling in love. It is often about class, culture, tradition, sacrifice, family expectations, emotional longing, and the conflict between modern dreams and rooted values. From classic tragic love stories to youthful musical romances and modern experimental love stories, Assamese cinema has given audiences some unforgettable romantic films. Here are some of the most popular Assamese romantic films that continue to stay close to the hearts of viewers. 1. Chameli Memsaab Chameli Memsaab is one of the most iconic romantic films in Assamese cinema. Set in the tea gardens of Assam, the film tells the emotional love sto...

Kannada cinema has produced some of Indian cinema’s most powerful actors. Some became mass gods. Some became acting schools by themselves. Some ruled the box office, while others quietly carried films with character, voice, silence and screen presence. But awards history is never perfect. The National Film Awards have honoured many great performers across Indian cinema, including legendary names from Kannada cinema. Yet, several phenomenal Kannada actors, despite unforgettable performances and massive cultural impact, never received a National Film Award for acting in their careers. Their absence from the national winners’ list remains one of Sandalwood’s most emotional “what if” stories. This is not a list of failures. It is a list of giants whose legacy became bigger than any trophy. 1. Vishnuvardhan – The Star Who Balanced Class and Mass Dr. Vishnuvardhan was not just a superstar. He was an emotion for Kannada audiences. From Naagarahaavu to Bandhana , Muthina Haara , Suprabhatha ,...
