Paisa Vasool

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?

In this Paisa Vasool episode we review They Call Him OG — a stylish, elevation-driven Pawan Kalyan vehicle from director Sujeeth. We cover what works (music, mood, a slick Japanese/Yakuza flavor, a few standout set-pieces) and what doesn’t (a thin plot, limited Pawan screen time, an “unstoppable” hero with low stakes, and a villain who never feels dangerous). We also discuss how scheduling/production constraints shaped the film, compare it with this year’s big Telugu releases, and look at Sujeeth’s next move.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2njQOUIPb1w🎙 Hosts: Sravan & Tarun📩 Email: CognitiveRecalibrationPodcast@gmail.com📲 Follow: @PaisaVasool on Instagram, TikTok & YouTubeTimestamps:00:24 Intro & title nitpick (OG vs “They Call Him OG”)04:47 First reactions: “Didn’t really like it.”07:05 Positives: Thaman’s score, cinematography, Japanese flavor09:42 Elevation-first cinema & why it feels thin10:35 The “unstoppable hero” problem; weak villain threat13:19 Sujeeth vs constraints (availability, rewrites)14:31 Where it ranks vs recent biggies19:29 Spoilers: loose Saaho link, sequel/prequel chatter21:58 The Japan angle we actually wanted25:47 Sound mix gripe: turned up to 1131:04 Verdict test: would non-Indians think it’s good?The 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.

A first for Paisa Vasool: our debut Malayalam review! We dive into Dominic Arun’s bold, world-building kickoff “Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra” — from the airtight writing and moody neo-noir vibe to Jakes Bejoy’s thumping score and Kalyani Priyadarshan’s powerhouse lead turn. We talk scale vs. budget, why the pacing never drags, where the folklore hooks land, and how those two mid/post-credit stingers set up the larger Lokah Universe.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xRWJPRC0uFg🎙 Hosts: Sravan & Tarun📩 Email: CognitiveRecalibrationPodcast@gmail.com📲 Follow: @PaisaVasool on Instagram, TikTok & YouTubeTimestamps:0:00 Intro music0:26 Intro & why this is our first Malayalam review1:00 Release weekend vibes (packed house in row 2!)1:33 Who’s who: director, cast & music (Dominic Arun, Kalyani, Jakes Bejoy)2:40 Budget vs. scale — how does it look this good?3:19 Quick box office note & hopes for the universe3:40 How Lokah was conceived (producer slate & the “universe” plan)4:36 Non-spoiler take: best film we’ve seen this year5:29 Writing > scale: why it works even when VFX are modest6:42 Pacing, tone mix (noir, horror, comedy) & that score7:51 Lead performance without the “girlboss” cliché8:37 “Chapter One” done right (self-contained but seeding more)9:46 SPOILERS START – the mythology reveal and how it’s planted11:01 Folklore integration, languages, and a creepy villain12:01 Goblins, caves & what Matthew (👋 Tovino) sets up12:48 Mid/post-credits: Dulquer’s entrance & the unseen elder13:41 Final verdict & why you should catch this in theaters14:11 What we’re reviewing next + Malayalam recs welcome14:44 Sign-off & socials🔗 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.
