Ever since Nag Ashwin showed Prabhas in the role of Karna in Kalki 2898AD and elevated him more than Arjuna, controversy is blowingout of proportions.In the midst of all this, Rajamouli's remarks on Karna are going viral now. He said “Karna is a character I don’t think exists in real life. He never abandoned his philosophy of gratitude despite his personal suffering. That’s why he’s larger than life. If I make a movie on Karna, I’ll choose Prabhas.”A source says “Telugu cinema has celebrated Karna for decades because he is a complex, grey character with both admirable qualities and serious flaws. Long before Kalki, N.T. Rama Rao made classics like Daana Veera Soora Karna and Srimad Virata Parvam, where Karna was portrayed with great empathy and often overshadowed the Pandavas. Those films explored his emotional conflicts and continue to be regarded as classics,”The source continued “Some filmmakers may choose to tell Karna’s story, while others may focus on Arjuna, Bhima, Krishna, or other characters. These films are cinematic interpretations inspired by the Mahabharata, not the Mahabharata itself. Every filmmaker brings a different perspective, and audiences are equally free to agree, disagree, or debate those creative choices,”---- Pramod Nandivada&nbsp;

&nbsp;Bhagyasrhi Borse is enjoying the success of Lenin in which she romanced Akhil under the direction of Murali Kishore Abburu.Bhagyashri Borse speaking to scribes recalled the days when she got bullied. She said . “I grew up in a Marathi-medium school in my hometown of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar and only spoke Marathi and Hindi. When my father got a job opportunity in Nigeria, we moved abroad. But the transition was brutal.”She said, "I didn't know English at all then. I only knew Marathi, only knew Hindi, and all these NRI kids who are Indian kids around me were like, how does she not know English? So obviously, the bullying started. I was very innocent. It was just because I didn't know the language." Looking back at those days, she added, "I've been through bullying. I feel it's all about tuning out the noise and focusing on what our goal is. It will be tough; it will hurt, but that pain will push you to grow. Honestly, without that, my English wouldn't be this good. If they hadn't bullied me because of my English, right? So I choose to see it that way. I believe every negative thing in our life helps make the positive even stronger."---- Pramod Nandivada

The film despite getting slowed during the weekdays already crossed breakeven in most of the areas and entered into profit zone.With the makers staying grounded and not doing business for huge amounts and also proceeding with regular ticket rates, turned out to be its plus points. It all depends on the next weekend whether the film enters into Rs 100crs club or not. As this week has no big releases except for Hollywood film Odessey, Lenin may show power once again.But sources say Akhil turned lucky in one aspect.

Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: What's BehindAtharvaa's Tamil film Idhayam Murali is releasing in Telugu as Hrudayam Murali on 10July 2026. The film directed by Aakash Baskaran is generating interest among movie lovers as the film is named after Atharvaa's father Murali's cult classic Idhayam which turned out to be a hit. The film released in Telugu as Hrudayam and captured the imagination of all. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by Netflix and streaming willbe after the completion of its theatrical run.Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Story ReviewHrudayam Murali story revolves around a youngster's experiences after he falls in love and the happenings in his life and the surprising developments.Hrudaya (Atharvaa Murali) is unable to express his feelings and emotions due to the circumstances he was raised. Where this leads to when he comes across Samyuktha and Samantha (Priety Mukhundhan), Dr Amudha (Kayadu Lohar) and what roles his uncle Thanga (Natarajan Subramanian) , Teacher Geeta (Jonitha Gandhi) and his friends Dr. Sachin (Thaman), (Niharika NM, Rakshan, Sudhakar, Dravid Selvam and Angelin ), Surya( Fahadh Faasil) play form the rest of the narration.Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAtharvaa Murali is good in his role. He performed in a realistic way highlighting the weak traits commendably. He shows the feelings in a convincing manner. Priety Mukhundhan's role is good but her charater is under developed. Kayadu Lohar appears in a cameo and she does justice elevating the emotions perfectly. Natarajan Subramaniam is good in the role of the uncle.Fahad Faasil is good in the cameo. He impresses with his antics.Others like Natty, Thaman S, Niharika, Rakshan, Dravid Selvam, Angeline, Anju Kurian, Sudhakar, Yashashree, Jonita Gandhi performed according to their roles.Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewHrudayam Murali story is penned by Aakash Baskaran. He tried to entertain movie lovers with a breezy romantic entertainer and drew inspiration from Atharvaa's father Murali's classic Hrudyam. The narration starts with the introduction of Atharvaa's character through Fahad Faasil's voice over and his personality and his thought process.Fahad Faasil highlights the mood of the viewers with his oneliners quite aptly while the narration got the hilarious touch with the actor &nbsp;Sudhakar. Fahad Faasil not only entertains but also mocks the character of Atharvaa and also the film's screenplay to leave all amused.But except for the two characters the film offers nothing new or exciting and turns out to be a tedious watch. The narration is stretched and screenplay is dragged to the core on a small point that hero cannot express his feelings for more than two and half hours.The film's convenient narration with Priety Mukhundhan's character disappearing surprisingly disappoints all. The convenient screenplay results in various characters appearing and disappearing as per the whims and fancies ot the director. The story offers nothing new and it is dragged completely with the pre decided runtime. To the top of it,the lead character not undergoing any transformation for almost 90% of the film tests the patience of the viewers.Director spent most of the time, highlighting the relationship between the lead character and his uncle and the girls in his life and in turn misses the emotional connection completely.The cinematography of Manoj Paramahansa showed the scenes in a natural and appealing manner. Thaman's songs failed to impress and it would have been better had the makers done away with them. His background music is just ok. The editing of &nbsp;Pradeep E Ragav left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that tested the patience of the viewers and could have easily been chopped off. Production values are ok.Hrudayam Murali Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec8666aee2dcfddddcfc4c15d3385a992">Few Hilarious Scenes</li></ul>Hrudayam Murali Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0a6360738e754e677eb1c728bb26d270">Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="eb2bbe48bd0b27f0fdbdb47dcc925673b">Story, Direction</li><li data-list-item-id="ed52267bd3888c381de7db15e2a905972">Dragged Narration</li></ul>Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Hrudayam Murali turns out to be an predictable romantic entertainer. Director Aakash Baskaran drew inspiration from yesteryear classic Hrudayam. After selecting small point, right from the first scene, he kept on dragging the narration with repetitive scenes. The screenplay is slow to the core and the script offered nothing new. There is nothing &nbsp;much to rave about the film and viewers will have a sigh of relief when the film ends. Considering all these elements, goes with 2 rating for Hrudayam Murali.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Let us see what impact it created on the movie lovers.I, Nobody (2026) Movie: Story ReviewI, Nobody revolves around the money heist and how a middle class family gets affected and the developments in the aftermath of it. Rajeevan (Prithviraj Sukumaran), a government employee leads a happy life with his wife Meera (Parvathy Thiruvothu) and two daughters.However, his happy life gets rocked when money heist hits him hard without his involvement. Where this leads to and how he wriggles out of it, form the interesting part.I, Nobody (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewPrithviraj Sukumaran lived in his role. He performed well as a middle class husband and father and came up with realistic and natural performance. However he did not get much chance to show variations in his expressions as he played the serious role throughout the film. He enacted high octane stunts with ease.Parvathy Thiruvotthu performed well as a mother of kids and wife. Both her and Prithviraj Sukumaran's roles are completely different from the regular films.Baby Nakshatra, Baby Ira played key roles. Ira generates few laughs. Hakim Shajahan and others performed according to their roles.I, Nobody (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewI, Nobody story is penned by Nissam Basir. He decided to thrill the views with money heist story. The story revolves around robberies and scams. He managed to excite all with the thrilling elements with the scenes before and after the robberies. He highlighted how the opinions of people and middle class family changes in the backdrop of money heist.Interest levels increase with the starting scene of the bank robbery which takes viewers into the story. However later the introduction of characters slowed the pace of the narration. But the twists and turns involving the lead character and others and the negative shades increases the curiosity levels. The police investigation and others in the first half brings and end setting the tone for the exciting second half.However, the second half goes for a toss with the hero kidnap scene and various sub plots. While the first half is natural, the second half had shades of artificiality and illogical scenes. Couple of scenes in the second half turns it into a decent one.Ramess' Editing could have been far better as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the film especially in the second half. Cinematography showed the scenes in a natural and realistic manner and Dinesh Purushottaman followed the standard template and took viewers into the story. JakesBejoy's background score is in sync with the story and he managed to keep the scenes the intensity levels intact. Production values are good.I, Nobody Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="efac77570c94718f6dd2d42e0fb573674">Prithviraj Sukumaran</li><li data-list-item-id="ea4f4d8838a99ac030261fccca3a6627d">Cinematography</li><li data-list-item-id="e91a967198e6f355d36cf2fdfd80b11ff">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e9fe24b1d186dc031d3fed2d4c5f89d13">Few Twists</li></ul>I, Nobody Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e7d8d32d6ea681235eb4429f052dec645">Slow Pace</li></ul>I, Nobody (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, I Nobody turns out to be a decent thriller. Prithviraj Sukumaran and Parvathy Thiruvottu came up with good performances. Director Nissam Basir came up with a known story but with his screenplay tried to thrill viewers. He emerged successful for most of the first half but lost plot in the second half. A little bit finetuning of the script, doing away with illogical elements and racy screenplay would have added value to the narration. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for I, Nobody.

Lenin (2026) Movie: What's BehindNagarjuna's son Akhil has been trying his best to score his first hit at the box office and then reach the next level of stardom. Despite his sincere attempts, he failed in his mission. He is now teaming with Murali Kishor Abburu of Vinaro Bhagyamo Vishnu Katha fame and is turning Lenin. Akhil transformed his look for the film, which is based on real-life incidents. The film's teaser and trailer got a good response and let us see what impact Akhil made as Lenin at the box office and won the appreciation of movie lovers. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by Zee5, and streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run.Lenin (2026) Movie: Story ReviewLenin's story revolves around an orphan who gets closer to a family and the incidents that follow in the village filled with personal and political ambitions.An orphan, Lenin's ( Akhil) life takes a drastic turn after he gets closer to the family of Jayantamma( Easwari Rao) . Where this leads to, what roles Bharathi ( Bhagyashree Borse), her father Neelakantam ( Ramki), Jayantamma's son Vasanth ( Pramod Panju), Yathiraju ( Sivaji), MLA Raghava Reddy, Damodara ( Brahmaji), Kadapa police Parthasarathi ( Sunil), and others form rest of the developments.Lenin (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAkhil put in lot of hard work for his role in the film and it is there for everyone to see. He is fine with his performance and in couple of emotional scenes he made his presence felt. He is good with his emotions and expressions.Bhagyashri Borse looked good on the screen. But she got a limited scope to show her acting talent. Pramod Panju made an impact with his performance and screen presence. Easwari Rao is good and so too Ramki, Sivaji, Brahmaji and Sunil. All got typecast roles and they did their part according to the narration.Lenin (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewLenin's story is penned by Murali Kishor Abbudu of Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha. He tried to attract masses with an intense romantic entertainer in the backdrop of a rustic village atmosphere. He starts the narration in an exciting manner but the flashback episodes dip the intensity levels with routine and monotonous romantic scenes and revenge plots.The entire first half offers nothing new but predictable commercial plot elements and scenes. The hero's elevations and the rest of the characters revolving around him just seems to be inspired from other hit commercial films. The entire first half turns out to be outdated to the core and viewers will be expecting a better second half at the interval.The second half starts with a couple of twists and generates interest. However, the missing emotions and the weak characterizations marred the intensity and impact power. The pre climax and climax turns out to be ok with the so-called twists. Dialogues are just average.Thaman's tunes for the songs are just ok. None of them get registered in the minds of the viewers except for the song VaareVaa VaareVaa. Many songs appear to abruptly impact the pace of the narration. He however elevated the scenes with his background music.Leone Britto with his cinematography showed the rustic village atmosphere in a natural and realistic way. The editing of Naveen Nooli could have been better, though it is ok. Dialogues are formulaic and production values are good.Lenin Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e8c67b705fa9a25e753c104b31262029b">Akhil</li><li data-list-item-id="e860d281d4131ca0dc327ceba5de9f3de">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e15189d16d2ebadfa8bde1f744c7324e8">Cinematography</li></ul>Lenin Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e87b930b40f0d68472cc63889861ac241">Missing Emotions</li><li data-list-item-id="ef817d18b1edb08f76103a679438da035">Songs</li><li data-list-item-id="e6338d35b1f8f6767eca05182852e7362">Characterizations</li></ul>Lenin (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Lenin turns out to be formulaic commercial drama. Akhil worked hard for his role undergoing transformation but Murali Kishore Abburu, except for couple of twists and the initial start, fails to take it to the next level. A little fine-tuning of the script, a tighter screenplay, powerful emotions, and strong character arcs would have added more punch to the film's overall output. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Lenin.

She got limited screen presence but came up with energetic performance. She got good dialogues and looked bubbly and lively on screen. She expressed with her eyes only to mesmerize all.Vikas Muppala is good in the role of the protagonist's friend. He looked natural and realistic with his performance driving the story forward. He made an impression with his dialogues and natural performance.Bala Parasar is good in the role of the maid. She entertained all not only with her dialogue delivery but also with her humour.Others like Anand Bharathi, Pranay Vaka, Kunal Kaushik, Master Kiran performed according to their roles.Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewRao Bahadur story is opened by Venkat Maha. Venkat Maha tried to thrill people with a different kind of psychological thriller. He starts the narration on an interesting note and Satyadev's introduction and the follow-up scenes increases curiosity levels.However from then on the pace of the narration tests the patience of the movie lovers. There are many scenes and viewers will be left wondering what's going on and where the story is heading and when the first half ends, it comes as a breather for the people.The narration and pace picks up a little bit in the second half though the story progresses no where. The climax twist comes as a relief. Even after the twist, the proceedings are dragged before the film ends making viewers heave a sigh of relief.Smaran Sai's music offered nothing much to rave about. The tunes are not catchy and are not even shot on an appealing manner. However, he made up for it, with his captivating background score. It elevated the mood of the story and proceedings.The cinematography of Karthik Parmar used the colour combinations, grading and camera angles to show the period backdrop in a natural and realistic way.Venkat Maha who handled the editing failed in this aspect. He left many unnecessary scenes unattended and this slowed the pace of the film drastically in the first half testing the patience of all. Dialogues are just ok. Production values are good.Rao Bahadur Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e89f9bccf5ae0f998e260186ab7d6fd60">Satyadev</li><li data-list-item-id="e322931614dda05d784b4fbb74121d7f5">Different Concept</li><li data-list-item-id="e63a40f8b4b0f16133d33fc7835eef2c1">BGM, Cinematography</li><li data-list-item-id="e67e3a2d0153e06c3e6c7038c57016bb7">Good Production values</li></ul>Rao Bahadur Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e955e04c11cec9e5b6c9e8ea0c3f7fec6">Slow Pace</li><li data-list-item-id="e657e6604870655ad79ea2e8130ef569d">Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="e1d6f85d1109b9b85e95dac4694418f43">Writing</li></ul>Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Rao Bahadur turns out to be patient testing psychological thriller. Satyadev showed faith in Venkat Maha's direction and gave it all for the role. Venkat Maha seems to have penned the story after deciding to the climax twist. This impacted the overall output to a point of no return.The idea turned out to be interesting but he failed with his story. The writing turned out to be weak, screenplay didn't come with anything special and there is much to talk about the direction which is directionless. A little &nbsp;reworking on the script by adding strong emotions, witty one-liners, doing away with preachy elements and having more racy screenplay would have changed the result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Rao Bahadur. &nbsp;

Rao Bahadur Review

Nagabandham The Secret Treasure (2026) Movie: What's BehindVirat Karrna's Nagabandham The Secret Treasure directed by Abhishek Nama has been promoted in the most extravagant manner. The film's grand VFX and CGI increased the curiosity levels among movie lovers. Nagabandham OTT rights have been bagged by Amazon Prime and the streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. The film released on 3 July 2026 and let us find out how Nagabandham captivated movie lovers.Nagabandham (2026) Movie: Story ReviewNagabandham story revolves around people with evil intentions going all out to possess the all powerful Brahma Kamalam and creating bloodbath in the process and how the right thinking people try to protect Brahma Kamalam and their rich traditions.Rudra (Virat Karrna) leads a peaceful life in his village but everything changes on the day of his sister Manasa (Sonia Singh) marriage. What happened during his sister's marriage and how it is connected to the archeological guru (Prabhakar), Abdali (Rishab Sahwney) what roles Parvathi (Nabha Natesh), Manasa (Iswarya Menon), Bairagi(Garuda Ram), priest Achyutha (Murali Sharma) played, how it is connected to Shiva (Virat Karnna), and Brahma Kamalam form the interesting part in the narration.Nagabandham (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVirat Karrna performed well in both roles, Rudra and Shiva. He showed innocence, love for his family as Rudra and fury as Shiva. His screen presence is good and he enacted stunts with ease. Rishab Sawhney is menacing with his look as Abdali and also as the Muslim emperor. He impressed with his mannerisms.Nabha Natesh is good in the role of a traditional girl. She also oozed with glamor in a song. Jagapathi Babu performed the role tailor made for him perfectly. Sonia Singh, popular youtuber performed well in the sister's role. Anasuya is ok in the role of aunt. Iswarya Menon is ok in her role. Murali Sharma made his presence felt as a priest.There are many actors like Daksha Nagarkar, Mahesh Manjrekar, Ankit Koyya,John Vijay and others did their job according to their roles. Nagabandham (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewNagabandham-The Secret Treasure story is penned by Abhishek Nama. The story offered nothing new as many films came in the recent past highlighting the power of God and how ultimately he eliminates the evil forces who try to wreak havoc to posses the supreme powers.Films like Mirai and Hanuman turned out to be hits and of late many filmmakers are trying to milk people's interest in Sanatana Dharma and the secrets with dialogues pertaining to them but most of them are failing in their mission. If mythological and elements on God in a story comes naturally then it will connect chords with the people. However, all the so called Sanatana elements are forced and this ends up testing the patience of the viewers.Nagabandham also fell in the second category unfortunately. There is no clarity how the hero became the protector of the all powerful Brahma Kamalam right from the first half. The film lacked the drive and direction and it drifted in various directions and the screenplay turned out to be topsy turvy. Emotions play a key role in the films and the film lacked them completely. Only when emotions are strong and realistic, natural, it will help in taking forward the drama or action sequences.With emotions missing , the scenes come and go one after another and viewers are left wondering what was happening. The extreme violence in the marriage looked totally unnecessary and unwanted except for the gory scenes which the director felt would have made an impact on the viewers emotionally.Though the first half had no story, visuals are extravagant and the interval bang covered all the loopholes setting the stage for the second half. However the second half turned out to be extremely slow and all the characters turned unnecessarily loud shouting at the top of their voices. Director included family scenes revolving around children but none of them created an impact. The flashback episode lacked clarity and it is also filled with mindless violence.The climax action episode itself came to more than 30 minutes and the story revolved around it but none of them connected chords with the viewers. Everything goes with loud shouts and intense and senseless action. On top of it, they gave immense torture with irrelevant dialogues on Sanatana Dharma.The background score tuned by Junaid Kumar elevated the scenes to the next level creating the maximum impact. However, at times it turned loud and routine. The cinematography of Soundar Rajan S is top class. The VFX and CGI are of top class most of the time, except in few scenes where they looked pale and substandard.Junaid Kumar - Abhe's songs acted as speed breaks to the narration. Except for the Namo song, others failed to impress and some songs came with in 2-3 minutes gap. Editing left a lot to be desired, especially in the second half. Dialogues are just ok and production values are grand.Nagabandham Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eb594ad9e18a42338b69b01eb1eee6864">Visuals</li><li data-list-item-id="e994ee9df25be8da1cfade0f49ab27cec">First Half</li><li data-list-item-id="e03c19a6434f469d2b00550495feb463d">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e53ac52f471f627ae2ae87dc2ff31adce">Some engaging episodes</li></ul>Nagabandham Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e6eaf2810d307659ae2e849ec6b6267a6">Missing Emotions</li><li data-list-item-id="edbe53ecdbf341a82efb00f11137c4966">Lack of Novel Story, Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="e26ed5b5acf569fcb4c720e74a5911376">Dragging climax</li></ul>Nagabandham (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether Nagabandham The Secret Treasure offers visual treat minus story feast. Director Abhishek Nama depended only on extravagant visuals and over the top dialogues on Sanatana Dharma and action sequences surrounding them but failed to come with strong story. He failed completely with his screenplay and direction. His script turned out to be senseless and he should have reworked on it completely. Everything turned senseless and mindless in the name of Sanatana Dharma. He and other filmmakers should realize that loud dialogues on Sanatana Dharma and Hinduism will not give them guaranteed blockbuster at the box office. It should be backed with strong content which is missing in Nagabandham. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with 2.25 rating for Nagabandham. &nbsp;

She lived in the role, coming up with intense expressions and powerful screen presence. She showed variations in her role quite well, looking realistic in her Transformation.Samuthirakhani is known for good performances but this time he looked a complete misfit in the role of a routine political leader. His dialogue delivery turned out to be a big minus.Naresh Agasthya performed well but he looked subdued bringing down the intensity. Sudhakar Komakula impresses but his character is under developed. Raja Chembolu is good. Sunil's role is just ok.Talented actors like Rohini, Mime Gopi, Ravi Varma, Rajeev Kanakala, and Benarjee nothing to rave about. Others performed scoring to their roles.Isakapatnam (2026) Web Series: Technicians ReviewIsakapatnam story is penned by Prashanth Ragathi and it is directed by BH. Garry. The story is simple and predictable with couple of interesting twists. Many such stories came where daughter takes on her politically powerful father. One is reminded of films like Chhatrapati and webseries Parampara.He tried to be realistic ,showing the happenings in the steel plant but the entire political tussle and battle on the family turns out to be predictable. The narration despite all this is made interesting with few twists and turns unraveling them at the right time in all the episodes.Though it raises curiosity among viewers, the missing emotional connectivity disappoints all.The music of Praveen Lakkaraju is in sync with the story and Narration. As the story itself offers nothing new, it seems he didn't try hard to create something out of the box.Vamsi Patchipulusu with his &nbsp;cinematography added value to the narration. He showed the happenings in the fictious town interestingly using the camera angle and colour grading.But one gets a feeling that both the music and cinematography followed the known generic and standard pattern.The editing of BH. Garry is good. He ensured that the narration is racy and pace doesn't dip drastically. Couple of dialogues of Taijuddin are good and thought provoking.Production values are decent.Isakapatnam Web Series: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ef770023c38cf4dcffab2411cfa496e04">Aishwarya Rajesh</li><li data-list-item-id="e201bd14058e642e08a4863657b1fec39">Interesting Twists</li><li data-list-item-id="e7a564f8c042003def4f4b3f67f681e4a">Couple of Performances</li></ul>Isakapatnam Web Series: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e6eea4cc01eacab675a05aaf2ba82a9b3">Missing Emotions</li><li data-list-item-id="e72be34588c2bc7d39c9367738c1cb925">Predictable Plot</li></ul>Isakapatnam (2026) Web Series: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Isakapatnam turns out to be a decent political thriller. Director BH.Garry did a decent job to the story that is highly routine except for few twists. Little fine tuning of the script, exciting screenplay, &nbsp;having strong emotions, powerful characterizations and suitable cast could have added more bite. The character arcs could have been more intense and inclusion of free more thrilling elements would have taken the series to another level. Action choreography could have been more intense. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Isakapatnam. &nbsp;

Dridam (2026) Movie: What's BehindMalayalam movies are captivating movie lovers across the country and now a thriller named Dridam &nbsp;released in theatres last month and did well at the box office. The film is now streaming on Jio+Hotstar and let us see what the film offered to movie lovers.Dridam (2026) Movie: Story ReviewDridam story revolves around a police officer and how his life changes when he discovers human remains. Vijay (Shane Nigam) lands in Kuzhinilam town after getting appointed as the &nbsp;sub-inspector. Everything goes well with him, including his subordinates who are genial and develops a liking for him and the town is also free of crimes.However everything turns drastically with the discovery of the dead body and crimes increases one by one challenging his investigative skills. Where this leads to and what role &nbsp;CPO Vidya Jayachandran (Saniya Fatima), &nbsp;ASI Krishnan Kurup (Shobi Thilakan), &nbsp;CPO Remya Surendran(Krishna Praba), &nbsp;CPO Sathyan(Dinesh Prabhakar), Manoj (Abhiram Radhakrishnan) and SCPO Balan Nair (Kottayam Ramesh) form the interesting part.Dridam (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewShane Nigam is good in the role of a cop. He showed good expressions and emotions as a new and inexperienced SI but at times he looked inconsistent as his body language is stiff. He looked convincing when it comes to show his confusion and anger.Others like Shobi Thilakan, Kottayam Ramesh, Dinesh Prabhakar, Nandan Unni, Vinod Bose, Krishna Prabha, Saniya Fathima, Mathew Varghese, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, Prashanth Murali, Bitto Davis, Joji K. John and Abhishek Raveendran performed according to their roles.However most of their characters are underdeveloped and under written and offered nothing new to the story.Dridam (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDridam story is penned by Jomon John and Linto Devasia and is directed by Martin Joseph. He tried to thrill viewers movie lovers with invetigative drama and it seems he drew inspiration from the films like Drishyam etc. He started the narration in an interesting manner and didnot devaite from the main plot and manages to surprise all with a climax twist.However, as he drew inspiration from Jeethu Joseph's films, much to the shock of all, he included the same flaws and this impacted the film. He showed the transformation of the cop from a rookie to an efficient one in an able way. However the director failed with his lazy manner of story telling. There are many scenes that looked artificial and staged and looked awkward on the screen.He spent most of the time, showing the admiration of the subordinates to the protagonist and all these looked unnecessary and irrelevant. At times, the scenes and the screenplay looked clumsy and convenient insulting the intelligence of the viewers. There are also many illogical scenes and this impacted the final output. The director failed to execute the decent story with the screenplay and direction.The behavior of the protagonist in various scenes looked silly and this impacted the basic investigation and the whole idea. Some of the so called scenes and the scenes looked absurd and even kids would laugh it out loudly.The cinematography of PM. Unnikrishnan showed the scenes in a natural and realistic manner showing the village atmosphere in a serene and calm way. The background score of Sreerag Saji elevated the scenes and managed to keep the viewers glued to the screen with the twists and turns. The editing of VS. Vinayak could have been better as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are ok and production values are good.Dridam Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e410418a17f0e1841e24b25c86c98ead1">Climax Twist</li><li data-list-item-id="e987c73815e6d58ebdd8bec9433c4115c">Cinematography</li><li data-list-item-id="e789bea59783cde88be7866b6487ca7ce">BGM</li></ul>Dridam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e7a1dab478b8dfe23508637c97d08cb21">Slow Pace</li><li data-list-item-id="ee4653122438d168cf57adb5cdf37e164">Sub Plots</li><li data-list-item-id="ee871dab49c3fc76114600f72e08d0554">First Half</li></ul>Dridam (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Dridam turns out to be a botched up thriller. Director Martin Joseph came up with a thriller that looked like a slow poison and unlike other investigative thrillers where a twist comes during the interval bang, the twist appears only during the climax. Till then the director passes time with unnecessary scenes and the slow pace in the screenplay and narration tested the patience of the viewers. Only the cinematography saved the film from sinking further. Except for the final 30 minutes, everything goes for the toss in Dridam. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Dridam.&nbsp;

The main plot turns out to be very simple but he with his creativity, turned it into an intriguing one. The screenplay is gripping right from the start and the credit for it goes to Jithu Madhavan. Chidambaram starts the narration in an interesting manner at a steady pace, taking viewers into the story introducing various characters. He surprises viewers with the twists and turns that they cannot expect, as many of the scenes look natural and realistic. The interval block, climax and few more scenes and the twists involved in it turns out to be the highlight and writers should be commended for their innovation.However, though the movie runs at a steady pace, the extremely slow narration ends up testing the patience of the viewers. Many of the simple scenes are repeated and dragged unnecessarily. Dialogues are natural and realistic. Sushin Shyam's music is impactful and he elevated the scenes with his background music. The cinematography of Shyju Khalid showed the scenes in a natural and realistic manner. He used the camera angles and color combinations and added value to the narration and had a good effect on the viewers. The editing of &nbsp;Vivek Harshan could have been far better.

Director Chidambaram came up with simple idea but he turned it into an interesting story and aided by Jithu Mahendran's gripping screenplay, he managed to surprise viewers. He is ably supported by the performances of Adisheshan and Farzana Palathingal &nbsp;and the technical crew to create the maximum impact. Had he done away with the slow pace and turned the narration racy, the impact would have been even more powerful. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Balan The Boy. &nbsp;

Let us see what impact the film created on move lovers.Transfer Trimurthulu (2026) Movie: Story ReviewTransfer Trimurthulu story revolves around a honest police constable and his fight against all odds and the shocking political happenings.Trimurthulu (Vadde Naveen) , a constable gets transferred due to his tryst with honesty and where this leads to when he gets entangled in the powerful shocking game of politics involving CM Kamaladevi ( Shilpa Tulaskar), her son Santosh Babu, opposition leader Ravikanth Reddy ( Aadukalam Naren) and what role his father Srinivasulu( Devi Prasad), his wife Lakshmi ( Rashi Singh) , news journalist Sweety form rest of the narration.Transfer Trimurthulu (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVadde Naveen performed as per his character. He is ok with his performance. There is nothing new and he looked raw and rustic in his expressions. He delivered dialogues accordingly.Rashi Singh got limited screen presence in her role. Shilpa Tulaskar is artificial as the antagonist despite the elevation to her character. Aadukalam Naren got very limited role.Others like Vivek Raghuvansi,Raghu Babu,Sivannarayana,Vadlamani Srinivas,Jwala Koti,Devi Prasad,Surya,Baba Baskar,Pramodini,Sathwic Raju,Anjali Priya,Gayatri Chaganti perfomed according to their roles.Transfer Trimurthulu (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewTransfer Trimurthulu story is written by Kamal Teja Narla. Right from the start till the finish the narration, screenplay turns out to be uni dimensional. His thought process remained outdated and out of sync with the current generation. He still followed the same hero elevations, three songs, six fights, item song and cheap comedy scenes.With in five minutes into the story, viewers will be treated the same monotonous scenes that test their patience to the core. It increases with the passage of time and reaches its peak in the second half. The interval comes as a break from this torture. The story lacks basic emotions and everything looks artificial.Everyone passes through the motions and the director's cheap taste is revealed when he showed the rape scene in detail even though it was shown initially. There are many such scenes and that include the CM candidate directing her aides to molest her to gain sympathy. Finally viewers heave a sigh of relief when the film comes to an end.Vijay Mukthavarapu's didn't get much scope to showcase his talent. This is because the story offered nothing new and as the scenes assume monotonous flavour, had Vijay applied his editing scissors, there wouldn't have been any film.The cinematography of Karthik Sujatha Saikumar is ok and the background score by Kalyan Nayak followed the predictable template. The romantic song tuned looked that of the 80s flavour. Dialogues are average and production values are ok.Transfer Trimurthulu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ef9fe3597178457bd9dfe52ffe513cc3a">Nothing</li></ul>Transfer Trimurthulu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e66bbbbcf257f0c4464dbcf2dca481cfd">Everything</li></ul>Transfer Trimurthulu (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Tranfer Trimurthulu turns out to be an outdated entertainer. Vadde Naveen on comeback performed as per the story. Director Kamal Teja Narla failed completely as a director with his story that turned out to be atrocious, screenplay turned ridiculous and script turned senseless. No amount of rework should have changed the output. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Transfer Trimurthulu.&nbsp; &nbsp;

The series has six episodes and each has a duration of around 30 minutes. The narration starts with an interesting and unexpected twist. The scenes in heaven and the swap generate the curiosity levels. The confusion generated entertains with hilarious acts in the first three episodes.The fourth episode takes it to new level with the entertainment and hilarious content. The unraveling of the twists attracts all but from the fifth episode the entertainment takes back seat with thought provoking scenes and few message-oriented dialogues. The final episode ends on an emotional note. At times the fun scenes did not generate the desired result as there are many repetitive scenes that slowed the pace of the film. Compared to the first two seasons, there is more entertainment content in this and so viewers can enjoy. However, some dialogues crossed the line and this makes viewers uneasy.Sriram Madduri's music is decent and the background music added value to the narration. Vishweswar's cinematography is good with rich visuals. The editing of Shravan Katikaneni is ok but could have been more better.
