Vishwanth and Sons trailer review

Vishwanth and Sons trailer talk

‘Dhandha’ fame Dora Sai Teja Actor Dora Sai Teja has created a major trend as the lead in the series ‘Dhandha’, produced by Chai Shots in the vertical storytelling space. Directed by Aditya Devulapally, the series is currently trending at no. 1 on the microdrama OTT platform. As the show continues its wildly successful run, lead actor Dora Sai Teja shared key insights about his journey and career. Here is what he had to sayTell us about your cinematic journey? I dubbed for the child artist playing the younger version of Prabhas sir in the movie 'Adavi Ramudu'. I acted in projects like 'Kotha Bangaru Lokam' and the series 'High School'. I also played a small role in 'Ala Modalaindi'. My association with RGV sir began in 2016 when I acted in an unreleased film titled 'Sridevi'. That was where I truly got introduced to cinema. After that, my serious journey on YouTube began in 2018. I gained strong recognition with the 'Back Benchers' series and kept doing shows. Last year, I launched my own content creation company, and recently, success hit again with 'Dhandha'.How does it feel to achieve so much at such a young age as an entrepreneur, actor, and content creator? From the moment I wake up, I constantly think as a content creator, director, actor, and producer. This is my way of introducing myself in new ways, which is why I try my hand at everything. Content creation is my business, and cinema is my passion. Combining both is who Dora Sai Teja is.Don't you ever feel like partying or enjoying yourself? I have to learn everything myself, and I prefer learning on my own terms. Whenever I fall, I learn a new lesson. I always think like someone five years older than my actual age. My entire day is packed with work, so I have no time for other things. Every single day, my mind is focused on creating something new.How do you handle praise and criticism on social media? Social media comes with everything. For every video, there will be new praise as well as abuses. I use content creation as a bridge. My goal is to take the fanbase I have here and bring them into movie theatres. However, our daily expenses must be sustained through content creation itself. More than being called an influencer or content creator, I personally prefer to be identified as an actor.What is your advice to newcomers about social media life and the creator space? The moment people see a few followers, likes, and shares, everyone watching thinks, "Man, this is the life!" But that is far from reality. Just like Snakes and Ladders, it is the very thing that pulls you up the ladder, and if anything goes wrong, it is the same thing that drops you straight down. It looks beautiful and fancy on the outside, but there are people who ruin lives for their own benefit by taking one statement out of context, using clickbait titles, and morphing thumbnails just for views and reach. Anyone wanting to step into this space must be prepared for both praise and criticism. Only then can you survive here.There is a fantastic response to the character Aravind. Even your critics are praising you now, aren't they? In content creation, I can only play a specific type of role. But when it comes to a web series or a film, you get the opportunity to portray diverse characters. In 'Dhandha', people only see me as Aravind. I have been longing for such challenging roles for a long time, and this was possible entirely because of our director.Director Aditya Devulapally spoke very highly of you. Are you truly a single-take artist? I do not have the habit of looking at the monitor. Just looking at the cinematographer or director tells me everything I need to know. My goal is always to finish the scene in the very first take. That is why before shooting a scene, I study the scenes that come before and after it. Because of this preparation, I manage to deliver almost everything in a single take. Doing multiple takes increases production costs. I decided that as long as I am on set, I must remain fully in Aravind's character, which helped me execute it in single takes.What is your view on current marketing strategies? No matter how good the content is, if you lack a proper marketing strategy to tell people about what you have created, it goes to waste. That is why promotions and marketing have become extremely crucial today. For 'Dhandha', I wanted to promote it differently. That is why we created a promotional video centered around "I lost 15 lakhs", designed specifically to help people grasp the core content of our series. Audiences understood the concept, and they turned 'Dhandha' into a massive hit.Tell us about your fans who stand by you on social media? This was not built overnight. People saw themselves in the content I made and connected with it deeply. It takes years for something like this to happen. Social media contains negativity alongside positivity. People who want to talk will keep talking, but I know what the truth is. That is why I do not pay attention to any of it and keep moving forward.What kind of responsibility rests on a social media influencer? Recently, Sakshi Chaudhary won a gold medal in boxing at the Commonwealth Games, but how many people actually know about it? On the other hand, people remember every single post or tweet made by an influencer they follow. Influencers are often admired far more than celebrities or sports personalities, and audiences closely observe their looks and style. Therefore, whatever an influencer does, says, or wears directly impacts a vast number of people. Because of this reach, they must conduct themselves with extreme caution and responsibilityHow is Dora Sai Teja during his free time? I am just a normal person like anyone else, except that I created a path for myself. That might be due to my financial circumstances back then or the passion I have had since childhood. Going forward, everyone will see me in a new light. I will make everyone proud across theatres, OTT, and social media. No matter how many setbacks I face, I am focused on running relentlessly to achieve my goal.What do you have to say about the 'Dhandha' team? I generally direct everything I create but this is the first time I worked with a director and my director, Aditya anna, succeeded 100%. Translating what is written on paper onto the screen with exact precision is no ordinary task, and Aditya anna is receiving immense praise for it. He worked tirelessly on every single aspect of 'Dhandha'. His vision is what made 'Dhandha' so unique. We completed this series in just seven days across 30 call sheets, working day and night without rest. That dedication is the highlight of 'Dhandha'. We need more directors like him. The director, music director, cinematographer, and myself were all in complete sync, which is why 'Dhandha' turned out so extraordinary.What is your future plan? I want to bring stories to the theatre that every common person can relate to. I wish to play zero-to-hero characters, choose inspiring stories with strong messages, and pick characters and narratives that exist around us. My goal is to work with the target of doing complete justice to every rupee that audiences spend to watch me.

Social Media is Like Snakes and Ladders, it can do both make and break you

In the process he is aided by his mentor Ravi (Muralidhar Goud) and his close friend Jackie (Sashi Odela). What role Bharghavi (Yukthi Thareja) and others played form the interesting part.KJQ (King Jackie Queen) Movie: Artists ReviewDheekshith Shetty played the role with ease. He looked menacing on screen. He showed good body language, mannerisms and expressions that comes out of anger after all he went through from his childhood days.Sashi Odela on debut came up with a sedate performance. He came up with relatable expressions and delivered dialogues accordingly.Yukthi Thareja is good on screen and indulged in glamor feast in couple of scenes. She delivered dialogues as per the situation. Muralidhar Goud and others performed according to their roles.KJQ (King Jackie Queen) Movie: Technicians ReviewKJQ story is penned by KK (Krishna Kumar). He came up with a simple but interesting story where he tried to explore the feelings and change of behavioral pattern among humans born in different situations. He establishes three characters King, Jackie and Queen in an interesting and exciting manner.However he fails to explore them deeply by elevating their character arcs. He touched only at the top of them and one gets a feeling that the job was only half done. While the first half established the characters of various people, second half tried to show them when they reach their peaks. There are few interesting scenes but with better screenplay, things would have become more interesting.The cinematography of Nagesh Banell is good. He showed the scenes in a visually appealing manner. The music of Tejaswi Poornachandra is good. The background score of Saumit Deshmukh is good and added value to the narration. Dialogues are impactful. Editing of Shravan Katikaneni is ok but could have been far better. Production values are good.KJQ Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0d342cc44012b5f4cde20bf6297a9336">Dheekshith Shetty</li></ul>KJQ Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e7d5a99420903c023876fa2ff233e86ba">Routine Elements</li><li data-list-item-id="e0f124668d459d132e135e34f80c453f5">Predictable Template</li></ul>KJQ (King Jackie Queen) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, KJQ turns out to be decent action entertainer. Director KK got the optimum from the cast and crew and Dheekshith Shetty, Yukthi Thareja, Sashi Odela came up with spirited performances. Director KK seems to have drawn inspiration from Maniratnam's classic Thalapathi and the characters more or less resembled the same. A little finetuning of the script, even powerful screenplay and gripping narration exploring the three characters divining deep into them would have turned the output into a more powerful and impactful one. Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for KJQ.

DC(2026) Movie: What's BehindStar Kollywood director Lokesh Kanagaraj who shot to fame with his Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) is now testing his luck turning lead actor with the film titled interestingly as DC. The film directed by Arun Matheswaran is releasing on 7 August 2026. Let us see what DC offered to movie lovers.DC(2026) Movie: Story ReviewDC story revolves around a youngster who fights against all odds and takes on the system to fight against the injustice meted out to the oppressed lot. Das aka Devdas (Lokesh Kanagaraj) happens to meet a beautiful girl Parvathi (Sanjana Krishnamurthy). But even before love blossoms between them, shocking incidents happen. Where this leads to and what role Devdas father (Kasturi Raja), Chandra (Wamiqa Gabbi), Gangster Sarkar, Police Officer Bhojraj (Krish Dayal) played form rest of the developments.DC(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewLokesh Kanagaraj on debut virtually lived in the role. He made a stunning impact with his performance showing variations in his mannerisms, dialogue delivery, attitude, style and swag. He impressed with his expressions and emotions.Sanjana Krishnamurthy performed well showing good emotions and expressions and made an impression. Wamiqa Gabbri surprises with her intense performance. She elevated the scenes with her screen presence. Kasturi Raja impressed especially in the climax. Krish Dhayal who played the role of police officer did well. However his role could have been even more powerful.DC(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDC story is penned by Arun Matheswaran. He came up with a simple story and blended it with action and romantic elements. Many expects Lokesh Kanagaraj to debut with an action entertainer. But the story had completely different blend of police atrocities and a commoner's fight against them. Arun Matheswaran did not deviate from the subject and even drag the romantic and love tracks with unnecessary lip locks, hugs and songs.Though even few romantic scenes slowed the pace of the film, he ensured that he quicky shifted to action genre to keep viewers interest glued. The first half ends on a decent note with the cat and mouse game between the cops and the rebels. The second half continues in the same way with the introduction of new characters and the pre climax connects chords with all with the film finally ending on a predictable note. The predictability in the story, illogical scenes and few boring elements undid all the hard work.The cinematography of Mukesh is good. He showed the period look in the story in a appealing and relatable manner. Anirudh Ravichander's tunes for the songs are just ok. The songs had a montage touch. But he elevated the scenes with his unique and terrific background score. He showed variety in the background music. He showed his creativity by scoring background in a poetic manner. Prasanna. GK's editing is quite fine but at times there are few repetitive elements. Dialogues are realistic and the production values of Sun Pictures are grand.DC Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec41f8dd65c1d46e3a4ba15e71491180b">Lokesh Kanagaraj</li><li data-list-item-id="e438ba9885bfbee03136e954d56f5026a">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e42b29190707dff5dbbb99547855af6b8">Cinematography</li></ul>DC Movie: DisadvantagesPredictable StoryIllogical ScenesDC(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, DC turns out to be predictable action thriller.Lokesh Kanagaraj made a strong impact in the lead role but Arun Matheswaran came up with a simple story. The unidimensional screenplay and lack of real twists and turns, few underdeveloped characters impacted the output. A little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay with interesting twists and turns would have added power to the narration. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for DC.

He came up with a hilarious horror thriller to entertain movie lovers. He starts the narration in a stylish manner in Korea before moving to Penugonda . After the introduction of protagonist in a typical mass way &nbsp;he shows the heroine. The narration treads in a familiar trope and screenplay assumes a routine flavor. To the top of it, the over usage of Korean language puts off the viewers. The interval sequence and the possession of the spirit excites all, setting the tone for the second half.The second half's gangster role is dragged to the core. While few comedy scenes involving Varun Tej and Satya evoked laughter, others looked forced. The climax takes everyone by surprise and though looked different didn't leave the desired impact. The story ends in a funny way with the lead to the sequel.Thaman's music offered nothing new. The songs are few and didn't make much impact. Thaman's background music followed the same template. He however with the background music elevated the scenes. Manojh Reddy with his Cinematography showed the scenes in a realistic way. CGI and VFX looked subpar. Editing of Satya G left a lot to be desired. Dialogues are ok and couple of them are hilarious.

The first three episodes keep the interest levels intact, but when one expects it to reach the next level with intense courtroom arguments, the director loses steam.From then on everything turns repetitive, testing the patience of the viewers.

Even the character arcs are not created properly after the initial introduction. The series and the narration lacked the required twists and turns.The first four episodes are predictable and offer no real twists. The fifth episode had a small twist but it did not excite anyone. The entry of Sameera only generates little interest. Many characters and their relations are not established properly and also there are many illogical scenes and convenient episodes.The background score of Anil Chiluvuru is good. However the cinematography of Suryaa and editing of Kishore turned out to be below average.

Srikanth came up with a spirited performance and carried the episodes on his shoulders but director Santosh Ayyappan failed to generate interest with his substandard screenplay and direction. He failed completely to create a gripping conflict and the weak characters spoiled the essence. He should have worked hard on the script and screenplay and character arcs to connect chords with the viewers. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Objection My Lord.

She played the lead role and her intensity helped to maintain the interest levels through out the film. She emoted and expressed well and also came up with impactful dialogues. She even expressed through her eyes.Abhirami looked good on the screen. She is intense in her expressions and emotions and increased the seriousness and ferocity in her character. Anand is fine in the role of Abhirami's husband in the film. He at the start evoked sympathy and then the twist surprises. Samuthirakhani made his presence felt showing different shades with ease.Madhunandan, Vaishnav, Dhanraj, Raghava, Aishwarya, Gaddam Naveen passed through the motions. The comedy scenes featuring Dhanraj, Rocket Raghava and others didnot get the desired result.Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewThe story of Karmakhya is penned by Abhinaya Krishna. He tried to come up with a thriller based on the spiritual elements. He starts the narration revealing the importance of Kaamakhya Sakthi Peetham in Guwahati but the introduction of other characters slowed the pace of the film.The narration picks of pace in a slow and steady manner and it reaches peaks once the characters of Abhirami and others are introduced. But once again the Samuthirakhani character puts off all initially with the weak role. The second half screenplay turns out to be racy and director decided to concentrate on main plot rather than spend time on unnecessary comedy scenes. The twists and the climax take the film to the next level.Kushender Ramesh Reddy with his cinematography added value to the narration. He with his camera angles got the desired impact on the screen. Gyaani's background music elevated the scenes and ensured the narration sails smoothly maintaining the same tempo. The editing of Sree Varaprasad is ok but could have been better as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are decent and production values are good.Karmakhya Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ecbf06dff5d988187173efeb800a4c6d4">Samaira, Abhirami</li><li data-list-item-id="e1cce435ac441106b8c3d246d67a8ef62">Few Twists</li></ul>Karmakhya Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0bb35decba20c6c73dc8a275427532aa">Lack of Interesting Elements</li><li data-list-item-id="ee54643c4aaf85742fc8bfe6a351357c1">Repetitive Scenes</li></ul>Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether Karmakhya &nbsp;turns out to be an average thriller. Debutante Samaira, Abhirami, and Anand came up with good performances and Samuthirakhani made an impact in the climax. Director Abhinaya Krishna tried to impress viewers with the blend of supernatural and thrilling elements touching on the witchcraft rituals and human sacrifices. However, the deviations in the start, slow pace in the narration and repetitive scenes undid all his good intentions. Rework on the script, a racy screenplay and few more twists and turns and doing away with mundane elements would have added value to the final outcome. Considering all these elements,Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Karmakhya.

He used the camera angles and color combinations to maximum impact to show night scenes in an effective and realistic way. Anil Palasa's editing turned out to be a mixed bag. His editing is tight for most of the first half but he lost focus in the second half including many unnecessary and repetitive scenes.The background music of Sinjith Yerramilli created a good impact and elevated the scenes to the next level taking viewers into the narration keeping the interest levels intact. The songs however acted as the speed brakers. Dialogues are natural and realistic and at times thought provoking.

Director Rajesh Karna got optimum output from the cast and crew. He maintained the pace and tempo in the narration with out any deviations most of the first half setting the tone for the interesting second half. However in the second half, emotions dominates the investigation elements and this hampered the pace of the narration with unnecessary elements. Had he toned down the emotional scenes and included more interesting twists and turns highlighting the investigation procedure and process, things would have been different. The story is decent and screenplay is racy for most of the first half before going for the toss in the second half. Little finetuning of the script would have added more punch to the final output.

Srinivasa Mangapuram Artists ReviewJai Krishna on debut worked hard to show his talent. He made an impact with his screen presence. He looked charming, young, and exuberant and impressed with his innocent looks and dialogue delivery. He enacted stunts in a stylish and with effortless ease.

She, however, came up with a singular expression. She expressed well in a few scenes. At times she looked gorgeous.Mohan Babu added value with his screen presence. However, his character is not developed at all and it is a huge disappointment. Kick Shyam made an impact with his performance. Naresh and Brahmaji failed with their comedy that is cringe to the core. Ajay, Vasuki and others just passed through the motions.&nbsp;Srinivasa Mangapuram Technicians ReviewSrinivasa Mangapuram story is penned by Ajay Bhupathi. He tried to entertain viewers with an intense love story in the action backdrop. Right from the start till the finish, much to the shock to all he followed the same routine outdated formula which wouldn't have worked even two decades back.The narration has the same commercial elements, hero introduction, hero-heroine romantic track, stunts and songs, etc. The first half is full of such scenes, and the narration goes on testing the patience of all with slow pace, predictable screenplay, and outdated story.The hope of better second half nosedives completely with even more monotonous scenes. After a point of time, people look towards the exit door for respite. Even the entry of Mohan Babu doesn't improve the narration and add value to the proceedings.The music tuned GV Prakash Kumar tuned offered nothing new. The songs just come and go like a template and do not add any value to the narration and story. Instead, they turned out to be speed brakers. The background score tuned by GV Prakash Kumar elevated few scenes.Jayakrishna Gummadi with his Cinematography showed the Tirupati locations and proceedings in an appealing manner. He, with his camera angles, showed the scenes naturally.The editing of Madhav Kumar Gullapalli left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. However, he couldn't be blamed because as had he been diligent, there wouldn't have been any film. Dialogues are routine and pretty ordinary.

Expectations increased over Jai Krishna's debut as he is the super Star Krishna's grandson. Many expected Ajay Bhupathi to come with a film that connects chords with the genex movie lovers. Jai Krishna put in sincere effort and his hard work is seen in the intense performance on the screen. But Ajay Bhupathi failed to do justice to the trust shown by Ajay Bhupathi. He disappointed everyone with the outdated story, patience testing screenplay and direction. Wonder how the project was given the green signal. No amount of tweaking the script would have changed the fortunes. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 &nbsp;rating for Srinivasa Mangapuram.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The first half sails smoothly with simple scenes like introduction of the hero and heroine and few comedy scenes before the blossoming of romance.

Few comedy scenes and interval twist is ok but only people who do not see logics can enjoy the second half. Even that is dragged to the core with unnecessary scenes and this undid all the decent work in the first half.The pre climax action sequence is creative and attracts all and the emotional climax brings curtain to the film in a decent manner.Viswas Daniel's cinematography is visually rich.

The film is releasing in Telugu as Jana Nayakudu and with rumours spreading that the film is the remake of Balakrishna's Bhagavanth Kesari, interest is increasing. Let us find out what Jana Nayakudu offered to movie lovers.Jana Nayakudu (2026) Movie: Story ReviewJana Nayakudu story revolves around a middle aged person's desire to raise a young girl into a fearless woman to face the challenges in the society. Vetri (Vijay) is on a mission to raise young girl Vijji (Mamitha Baiju) as a fearless person. However she has her own problems and these are compounded when Vetri findsout that some unknown elements are out to eleminate her.What is Vijji's problem, who are the unknown elements, how it is connected to Crime Reporter Kayal (Pooja Hegde), Vijji's father Srikanth (Gautam Menon),CM (Nassar), Amrish Pujari aka John Himler (Bobby Deol), Leela Rani (Priyamani) form the interesting part.Jana Nayakudu (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVijay did well in his role. The role is tailormade for him and he did full justice. However there is nothing much to rave about is role and performance. He followed the same template mannerisms, dialogue delivery and style statement and body language. After the passage of time, one gets a feeling that he just passed through the motions and artificiality crept in.Pooja Hegde played the female lead and she did what was required from her. Her role is mostly insignificant. Mamitha Baiju played the &nbsp;all important role that is pivotal to the story and the proceedings. She is just ok with her performance. She failed to connect chords emotionally and elsewise.Bobby Deol played the role of the antagonist. His role turned out to be a caricature and could be a meme fest. His character turned out to be weak. Prakash Raj is just ok with his performance. Priyamani, Nassar, Sunil and others completed the cast are turned into dummies.Jana Nayakudu (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewJana Nayagan aka Jana Nayakudu story is penned by H.Vinoth. Though he claimed that the film is not the remake of Bhagawanth Kesari and he took few scenes, most of the first half is similar to Bhagawanth Kesari except for few changes here and there. The first half starts with Vijay trying to raise his daughter without any fear and then the narration shifts to the introduction of the antagonist. The entire antagonist episode and there after looks silly and ridiculous to the core.The substandard and poor graphics turned the scenes into a tedious watch. the first half turns out to be stale with no real high elements. The second half continues in the similar manner and the core soul and emotion of Bhagawanth Kesari's Beti Ko Sher Banao goes for a toss. The pre climax and climax turns out to be childish with video game like elements. One gets a feeling that even video games or TV serials have better graphics.Anirudh Ravichander is known for his impactful works and he tuned the music and composed BGM for the film. However it turned out to be extremely disappointing as the songs failed to entertain and also not shot in an appealing manner. His background music failed to make any impact. He couldn't be blamed as the narration did not give him chance to do so. The editing of Pradeep Raghav turned out to be miserable. There are many scenes that tested the patience of the viewers. Had he used the editing scissors there wouldn't have been any film at all. The cinematography of Satyan Sooran became a disappointing affair. The dialogues failed to connect chords and most of them are politically motivated. Production values are below average.Jana Nayakudu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e85cb270d64616567b8805c09dabb5485">Vijay to some extent</li></ul>Jana Nayakudu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e1a0e9a0e065f7373d18e148469f56acc">Everything Else</li></ul>Jana Nayakudu (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether Jana Nayakudu turns out to be a soulless entertainer. H.Vinoth got the golden opportunity to direct Vijay's last film. Vijay put in sincere efforts and Vinoth drawing inspiration from Balakrishna's Bhagawanth Kesari came up with Jana Nayakudu. Instead of elevating the emotions to the next level and better than the original, Vinoth concentrated on elevating the heroism of Vijay and also promote his political ideology. This resulted in the film turning out into a half baked one. Even the elevation scenes failed to make an impact and Vinoth shockingly killed the soul of the original. He failed completely with his story, screenplay and direction. The so called changes he made to the original instead of adding value, diluted the essence of the film and the message it intended to give to the society. Jana Nayakudu is touted to be the farewell film for Vijay but it turned out to be a failed farewell. He deserved better rather than this crap. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Jana Nayakudu.

Yadagiri (Thiruveer) is on a mission to get married within no time and finally falls for a beautiful girl Damini (Aishwarya Rajesh).Why Yadagairi is in a hurry to get married and what shock he faces after he enters into wedlock with Damini, what roles Damini's father Chandraiah (Kota Jayaram), Thiruveer's mother (Aamani), village sarpanch (Muralidhar Goud), influential lady (Jhansi) &nbsp;form the interesting part.Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewThiruveer performed in his role in an effective manner. He showed good emotions and expressions according to the situation. However he did not get much scope to elevate the scenes due to weak characterization.Aishwarya Rajesh performed her role quite well. She looked good on screen in some scenes. At times however she looked odd. She delivered dialogues with ease.There are many other actors in the film like Jhansi, Muralidhar Goud, Aamani, Anji Mama, Kota Jayaram, Gavireddy Srinivas, Kranti Balivada, Saranya Pradeep etc and they try their best to entertain viewers. However, only to some extent they succeed.Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewOh Sukumari story is penned by Bharat Darshan. He tried to attract viewers with a hilarious entertainer. He came up with an interesting idea but even before one could get excited, right from the start till the finish, he filled it with numerous cringe elements, be it emotions and hilarious scenes.The entire first half is filled with repetitive scenes, monotonous elements and routine flavor. Many expected the second half to fare better but it sailed in the similar manner. Bharat tested the patience of all with weak screenplay and writing. Many scenes which are expected to take emotions to new heights turned out to be artificial and outdated. The climax turned out to be silly and ordinary.The music and songs of Bharat Machiraju turns out to be a disappointment. None of the songs impresses. To the top of it, he failed completely with his background music. Kushender CH showed the rural atmosphere with his camera angles in an appealing manner. However there isn't much left for him to showcase in the film. The editing of Sree Varaprasad failed to the core. There are many scenes that are repetitive and tested the patience of the movie lovers. Dialogues are pretty ordinary. Production values are just ok.Oh SukumariMovie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e5123d676677c7d1184345d1e8d224b43">Thiruveer - Aishwarya Rajesh</li></ul>Oh Sukumari Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec689e27b1a74d0cf0d6254adbaececc0">Outdated Narration</li><li data-list-item-id="e1fbc026301b22019e3772a76d1f0199c">Listless Writing</li></ul>Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Oh Sukumari turns out to be silly and outdated entertainer. Though Thiruveer and Aishwarya Rajesh came up with spirited performances, Bharat Darshan failed to do justice to the interesting point. One wonders how the makers proceeded ahead with the project. His writing turned out to be weak and the scenes looked odd and outdated and screenplay lacked everything. The script itself doesn't excite anyone. No amount of rework would have changed the quality or the end result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Oh Sukumari. &nbsp;

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;

Hrudayam Murali Review

I, Nobody (2026) Movie: What's BehindPrithviraj Sukumaran is known for his interesting and exciting entertainers. His upcoming film I, Nobody directed by Nissam Basir hit the screens on 10 July 2026. 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.
