Entertainment Oct 18, 2025

"Elumale," a romantic thriller starring Raanna and Priyanka Achar, just dropped on ZEE5 after its well-received theatrical run in early September.
Directed by Punit Rangaswamy, the movie blends cross-border romance with suspenseful twists involving cops and smugglers.

Story of love, crime, and political drama

Set across Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, the story follows Harish, a cab driver, and Revathi, a wealthy young woman whose relationship spirals into crime and political drama.
With strong performances from Jagapathi Babu and Kishore Kumar in supporting roles, plus music by D. Imman,
"Elumale" stands out for its mix of Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu dialogues—giving it extra flavor for fans of multilingual films.
