@priteshlakhani There are IMAX but IMAX 70mm analog projection is what these 41 screens are. Most of the remaining are IMAX Laser projected which is digital print of the analog film. So yes they are IMAX and yes some might even have 1:1.43 ratio but original analog projection is on only these 41
It may sound insane to you at first.
But its already happening.
The unending greed of human race will destroy everything.
That's Kaliyuga Dark Phase for you ahead ..
పొద్దున 'ఇడుపు కాయితం' టైటిల్ రిలీజ్ కాగానే ఇగ ఏడుపులు స్టార్ట్ చేస్తరని ఒక గ్రూప్లో అన్నాను.. అన్నట్టే కొందరు ఏడుపులు మొదలుపెట్టిన్రు.
ఇక్కడ సమస్య ఒక పదం అర్థమవ్వడం, కాకపోవడం కాదు.. ఇక్కడ సమస్యల్లా ఆధిపత్య ధోరణి, అహంభావం.
గ్రామీణ నేపథ్యం లేని చాలామంది తెలంగాణ వాళ్ళకి కూడా 'ఇడుపు కాయితం' అనే పదం అర్థం తెలియకపోవచ్చు.. అందులో తప్పు లేదు.
తెలంగాణ మాండలికంలో ఉన్న ఈ పదం ఆంధ్ర ప్రాంతానికి చెందినవారికి అర్థమవ్వకపోవడంలో ఆశ్చర్యమేమీ లేదు.. అది మనం తప్పు పట్టాల్సిన అవసరమూ లేదు.
కానీ.. తెలంగాణ గ్రామీణ జీవనంలో వాడే ఒక పదాన్ని ఒక సినిమాకు టైటిల్గా పెట్టినప్పుడు.. అర్థం కాకుంటే వివరణ అడిగితే సరిపోతుంది. కానీ ఎగతాళిగా మాట్లాడుతూ.. ఈ సినిమాకు తెలుగు డబ్బింగ్ ఉంటుందా.. ఇది అసలు తెలుగు భాషేనా అని మాట్లాడుతున్నారు.. ఇది తెలంగాణ పట్ల కొందరికున్న ద్వేషాన్ని చెప్పకనే చెబుతుంది.
కేవలం ఆంధ్ర ప్రాంతంలో ఉండేవాళ్ళకి మాత్రమే అర్థమయ్యే పదాలను తెలుగు సినిమాల్లో ఇప్పటికే కొన్ని వందల కొద్ది వాడారు.
ఉదాహరణకు మహేష్ బాబు నటించిన ఆగడు సినిమాలో 'ఎలపరం ఒచ్చేస్తుంది' అని ఒక డైలాగ్ ఉంటుంది.. 'పెందలాడే' అనే పదం చాలాసార్లు వాడారు. వీటి అర్థం తెలియకుంటే తోటి ఆంధ్రా మిత్రులను అడిగి నేను తెలుసుకున్నాను. ఈ పదాలని కానీ, ఇలాంటి ఎన్నో పదాలని కానీ తెలుగు సినిమాల్లో వాడినప్పుడు తెలంగాణవాళ్లు ఎన్నడూ ఎగతాళి చేయలేదు.
ఎవరి భాష, యాస వాళ్లకి గొప్ప.. ఇతరుల యాసను, భాషను ఎగతాళి చేసే హక్కు ఎవరికీ లేదు.
ఒక్కప్పుడు తెలుగు సినిమాల్లో కేవలం విలన్లు, కమెడియన్లకే వాడిన తెలంగాణ యాసకు, తెలంగాణ ఒచ్చిన తర్వాత కాస్త ప్రాముఖ్యత పెరిగింది.. జనాదరణ పెరిగింది కాబట్టే కొందరు సినిమావాళ్ళు కూడా తెలంగాణకు పెద్దపీట వేస్తున్నరు.
కానీ సోషల్ మీడియాలో కొందరు ఉన్మాదులు మాత్రం తెలంగాణ యాసను వెక్కిరిస్తూ శునకానందం పొందుతున్నారు.. తెలంగాణ రాష్ట్రం ఏర్పడి 12 ఏళ్ళు అయ్యాక కూడా అక్కసు వెళ్లగక్కుతున్నారు. ఇలా చేసేవాళ్ళలో చాలామంది ఒక ప్రముఖ రాజకీయ పార్టీకి మద్దతిచ్చే వాళ్లే కావడం గమనార్హం.
అర్థం కాకుంటే అడగండి.. అంతే కానీ అవమానించకండి.
ముందుముందు తెలంగాణ యాసకు ఇంకా గుర్తింపు పెరుగుతుంది.. కాబట్టి సహనం పెంచుకోండి.
కాళోజీ గారు అన్నట్లు.. మా తెలంగాణ భాష బడి పలుకుల భాష కాదు.. పలుకుబడుల భాష.
జై తెలంగాణ!
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I lack civic sense.
They can overturn cars, burn streets,
and vandalize a city after a championship game.
I dance at an airport excited about my first foreign trip, and suddenly I am the face of poor civic sense.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I steal jobs.
They move factories across oceans,
shift profits through tax havens,
and automate entire industries overnight.
I study, compete, earn a visa, work 18 hours a day, sometimes multiple jobs and somehow I am the one stealing jobs and scamming the system.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am everywhere.
I build your software,
treat your illness,
teach your children,
drive your taxis,
and open your stores.
The world became a village,
yet my presence remains a problem.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am too loud.
The evening news screams outrage.
Political rallies shake entire cities.
The internet echoes with anger day and night.
I celebrate a wedding, a festival, a victory,
and I am told my joy is too loud.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I smell of curry.
The world smells of gunpowder,
of hatred,
of division,
of endless arguments about race and religion.
I carry the fragrance of spices from my grandmother's kitchen,
and somehow that is what offends.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I have no culture.
I come from a civilization that counted the stars
when much of the world was still learning maps.
I speak languages older than nations.
I celebrate hundreds of traditions,
yet I am told I have no culture.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am backward.
I send missions to the Moon.
I build vaccines for millions.
I run companies across continents.
Yet a viral video of one fool becomes evidence against a billion people.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I worship celebrities.
I celebrate my favorite actor's success
with flowers, music, and a few glasses of milk.
Others worship influencers who sell outrage, turn every disagreement into a battlefield, and every opinion into a war.
Yet my celebration is the one that makes headlines.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I gather in crowds.
We walk together in processions,
celebrating our faith, our culture, our traditions.
Everyone is welcome.
No shops are looted.
No neighborhoods are burned.
No one is threatened for thinking differently.
We sing.
We dance.
We pray.
And somehow our gathering becomes the problem.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I bring my culture everywhere.
I light a lamp in a foreign land.
I wear a saree in the snow.
I teach my children the language of their grandparents.
Others build walls between neighbors,
argue endlessly over identity,
and forget where they came from.
Yet I am told I should leave my culture behind.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I live in the past.
But my past gave me yoga,
mathematics, philosophy, meditation,
and the idea that the world is one family.
The future keeps borrowing from my past,
while telling me to be embarrassed by it.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I should be ashamed.
Ashamed of my accent.
Ashamed of my food.
Ashamed of my festivals.
Ashamed of my traditions.
Ashamed of existing.
But I am not ashamed.
I am the child of farmers and philosophers,
scientists and saints, workers and dreamers.
I come from a land that taught the world
that truth can be many-sided,
that all paths deserve respect,
and that the entire world is one family.
Yes, we have flaws. Every nation does.
But judge me by my actions, not by your stereotypes.
For I am an Indian.
And before you tell me what is wrong with me, look honestly at what you have normalized in yourself.
For I am an Indian.
The world may mock my accent,
question my customs,
laugh at my celebrations,
and judge me through a thousand stereotypes.
Yet I stand tall.
For I belong to a civilization older than empires, a culture richer than prejudice, and a people whose spirit refuses to bend.

The “Truth” about why the headphone jack was removed.
I wonder how much damage has been done to the human brain with bluetooth tech?
In any sane nation, the news headline would be-
" Young sensation Meenakshi Goyat, daughter of a farmer from Chhabri village in Jind, defeats Vinesh Phogat, Congress MLA who gained notoriety for forcing her way into different weight category in Olympic and costing India her chance at medal. The short-lived victory of Meenakshi ended with her defeat by Antim Panghal, the youngest of the three (19). Antim is two-times senior Bronze medalist, and 2022 Asiad Bronze medalist. The young rising star from Haryana represents hopes for Indian women wrestling in times to come.

Youth are anti-establishment by nature. It's basic science. Youth naturally gravitates toward rebellion because questioning existing structures becomes part of forming an independent identity.
The urge is less about detailed policy content and more about belonging, purpose, and feeling part of something larger than oneself. That is why generations repeatedly rally around symbols, slogans, and movements that become culturally "the thing" of their era.
Sometimes the cause is deeply thought through; sometimes it is romanticized and simplified. Figures like Che Guevara became global youth icons not because millions had carefully studied revolutionary economics or Latin American history, but because rebellion itself carries emotional appeal. A poster, a slogan, and a sense of standing against "the system" can become an identity.
That is why they tend to appropriate anything they feel can bring change, whether it is a song (e.g., Sadda Haq, ethe rakh), a movie (e.g., Rang De Basanti), a T-shirt (e.g., Che Guevara or Bob Marley), a singer (e.g., Sidhu Moosewala), a TV ad (e.g., Tata Tea Jaago Re), or a movement (e.g., India Against Corruption). This cockroach thing is the same. They feel it is going to bring some change.
They are in for disappointment and will soon lose interest after realizing that it is not a real movement, but just another page with the same propaganda posts they already see on other pages of a similar nature.
Indians, especially Gen Z:
Criticize your government as much as you want. Ask hard questions. Hold them accountable.
But never become a pawn for forces sitting outside this country.
There is a reason we were sanctioned after Pokhran. There is a reason our strategic developments are met with protests. There is a reason you are being systematically taught to hate your civilization.
Revolutions don't work in a country as large and complex as India. It will always become a tool for our adversaries to exploit our fault lines.
So protest. Push back. Confront.
But always be cautious of anyone trying to steer a revolution from outside. They have zero skin in the game.
Virat Kohli keeps asking the same question & the critics keep running out of answers. Since 2023, he has scored 2365 runs in 51 IPL innings. He has been dismissed for single digits just 3 times in his last 40 innings (On average, 1 single digit score per season).
13 of his last 15 innings crossed 25, 11 went past 40, 8 cleared 50. While everyone else chased highlights, he built a floor of consistency so high that failure became a stranger.
Critics called him an anchor. They said T20 had moved past him, that his method was built for a slower era. So he changed the physics. The bat that used to come down straight & still started moving before the bowler released. Up, down, tap, hover. R Ashwin called it potential energy. Rest of us called it freedom.
Then 2025 happened. RCB won their first title in 18 years. Kohli made 657 runs that season, nothing flashy, just a man holding his nerve while the world wobbled. The title did not relax him. It unlocked something.
2026 brought the real transformation. He quit Tests. What remained was just a batter. No format switching, no need to keep one part of his brain defensive while the other attacked. This season he hits a boundary every 4.9 balls. He strikes at 160 in the powerplay, 140 in the middle, 200 in the death.
Dale Steyn watched the opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Kohli hit 69 not out off 38 balls, 5 sixes, a chase of 202 done in 15.2 overs. Steyn said he was hitting aerial shots time & again. A man who had stopped fearing the fall.
The attacking shot percentage tells the story. 40.6 percent in 2021. Almost 75 percent in 2026. He steps down to spin now. He lofts over long on. He was the cover drive man, the wristy flick man. Now he is something messier & more dangerous. Striking at 163 this season. Averaging 54.6, which is technically a dip from his overall average of 56 since 2023. That is the level he has set.
No other batter has scored more runs than him in the last 4 IPL seasons. Not Gill, Not Jaiswal, Not Buttler, Not Samson. He has also hit more sixes than all of them since 2023. The man they called slow is out-hitting the generation that was supposed to replace him. He is not surviving T20 anymore. He is still defining it.
Critics will find something new. Kohli will hear them, fix what needs fixing & keep asking what is next. The bat is still moving, The red jersey is still his. And somehow, impossibly, he is just getting started.
