In this collection of three stories, an emotionally abused
wife finds comfort in the arms of her brother-in-law, a young
dancer undertakes an erotic and redemptive pilgrimage to Rome
involving live sex shows and nude photography, and a femme
fatale looks into a mirror as she recalls a sadomasochistic
love affair...
Try
imagining an erotic version of Alfred Hitchcock Presents,
and you'll have some idea of what this DVD series is like.
Only less well made. Producer Tinto Brass has little direct
involvement with these short films, apart from introducing
each one while puffing away characteristically on a cigar,
and making the occasional cameo appearance.
Though
the productions claim to have been directed in the "Tinto
Brass style", there is scant evidence of it here. Only in
A Magic Mirror is there any hint of Brass's eccentricity,
in the grotesque character of a brusque layabout husband (Ronaldo
Ravello), who spends much of his screen time lounging around
in a bath, like the captain of the B-Ark in The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy. But, although this tale displays
the most humour in the entire collection, it also shows off
the least amount of bare flesh, which is surely another important
ingredient that the audience will be expecting.
Things
get sexier in Julia, the story from which this collection
takes its name, which includes some particularly explicit
and highly charged sex scenes. Unfortunately, the plot is
almost totally incomprehensible - something to do with a dancer
(Anna Biella) going to Rome, but wildly at odds with the description
on the back of the sleeve, which mentions a photographer's
three beautiful models. I counted two of them at the most.
This production is also blighted by amateurish editing, which
leaves several gaping holes in the soundtrack. Oh well, at
least this DVD is subtitled, which spares us from woeful English
dubbing of the type recently heard on Brass's Private.
The
final tale, I Am the Way You Want Me, is a very weird
and nasty little minx. In it, a naked woman (Fiorella Rubino)
sprawls around in her bathroom, mouthing various strange utterances
to camera, and doing erotic things to herself, such as shaving
with a fearsome-looking cutthroat razor (shudder). And that's
about it.
A
further disappointment is the lack of any extra features.
So, all in all, this DVD has left me feeling rather brassed
off!

Sequel to the blockbuster Mad (2023) The gang is back – and madder than ever. Set against the backdrop of a Goa bachelor party gone wrong, Mad Square cranks up the youthful chaos. Think messy misunderstandings, wild hangover situations, and a parade of eccentric side characters. The chemistry between the four leads (Narne, Sangeeth Shobhan, Ram Nithin, and Vishnu Oi) is the film’s biggest strength. If you liked the first part’s energy, this one doubles down on silliness and situational comedy.
Most of these are available in cinemas or streaming on platforms like Aha, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Sun NXT (check regional availability). new comedy movies telugu
A spin-off from the horror-comedy hit, this one ditches the scares and goes all-in on comedy. Set in the same fictional village, it follows two bumbling cops (Sunil and Venu Tillu) trying to solve a case involving a missing temple elephant. The comedy is loud, physical, and rooted in Telugu village slang. Sunil’s comeback as a comic hero is refreshing – his timing and expressions are back to his peak form.

If you’re in the mood for pure fun without heavy drama, Mad Square and Ooru Peru Bhairavakona – Laughter Chapter are your best bets. For clever humor, Agent Sai Srinivas Athreya: Case No. 2 delivers big time. The chemistry between the four leads (Narne, Sangeeth
Telugu cinema has always had a soft spot for comedy, and the recent lineup brings fresh humor, quirky characters, and laugh-out-loud moments. Here are some of the newest comedy films that have hit the screens or are making waves in 2025–2026.
While more of a comic thriller, this follow-up to the cult hit brings back Naveen Polishetty as the hyper-observant, slightly paranoid detective. This time, he’s investigating a missing pet that leads to a larger conspiracy. The humor is dry, intellectual, and endlessly quotable. The running gag about his mother’s disapproval of his “job” is pure gold. A must-watch if you enjoy witty, understated comedy.
A spiritual comedy with a twist – a lazy, middle-aged man (played by Brahmanandam’s real-life grandson, Raja Goutham) gets tangled with a quirky ghost who claims to be God’s assistant. Legendary comedian Brahmanandam makes a hilarious cameo as a bumbling priest. The film works because of its deadpan humor and clever one-liners about modern life vs. ancient beliefs. Light-hearted and feel-good. |
