High Court Advocate Nagurbabu N has once again demonstrated his commitment to securing justice for victims of financial fraud through persistent legal action. His relentless pursuit of justice led to the arrest of K. Lakshmikanth Reddy, an accused with multiple criminal cases and producer of the upcoming film "LAFOOT GANG," in connection with an alleged ₹2.21 crore gold investment scam. Following his arrest by the Central Crime Station (CCS), Hyderabad, the accused was produced before the XII Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nampally, which remanded him to 15 days of judicial custody for further investigation.The case originated from a complaint lodged by Mr. Rakesh Balaram Goud, who alleged that he was induced to invest ₹2.21 crore after being promised the supply of 24-carat gold biscuits at prices substantially below the prevailing market value. According to the complaint, after collecting the investment amount, the accused failed to supply the promised gold or refund the money. Instead, when repayment was demanded, the complainant alleged that he was subjected to intimidation, threats, and coercion. When the initial complaint failed to receive effective action, Advocate Nagurbabu N approached the Telangana High Court by filing Writ Petition No. 4220 of 2026, seeking judicial intervention. During the proceedings, it was brought to the notice of the Court that, considering the magnitude of the alleged cheating involving ₹2.21 crore, the matter had been entrusted to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Central Crime Station (CCS), Hyderabad, for a comprehensive investigation. The High Court proceedings ensured that the investigation was handled by a specialised agency experienced in dealing with complex economic offences. Acting on the investigation, the CCS registered Crime No. 147/2026 under Sections 111(2)(b), 111(3), 111(4), 318(4), and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.Investigators collected documentary and electronic evidence, examined witnesses, and recorded detailed statements before arresting the accused on 27 July 2026. According to the remand report submitted before the Court, custodial interrogation is essential to trace the money trail, identify other persons involved, recover the proceeds of crime, and investigate the organised nature of the alleged fraudulent operation.The remand report further states that the accused allegedly operated a fraudulent gold investment scheme by falsely claiming access to imported gold at discounted prices while promising extraordinary short-term retums. Investigators have also referred to allegations that victims who sought repayment were threatened and intimidated. Based on the evidence collected so far, the investigating agency is examining whether the offence forms part of a larger organised criminal network.Significantly, the remand report also records that K. Lakshmikanth Reddy has been involved in six earlier criminal cases registered at various police stations across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, namely: 1. Crime No. 189/2021 Mahankali Police Station, Hyderabad. 2. Crime No. 728/2022 - Raidurgam Police Station, Cyberabad. 3. Crime No. 1049/2023 – ΚΡHB Colony Police Station, Cyberabad. 4. Crime No. 1390/2023 Madhapur Police Station, Cyberabad. 5. Crime No. 122/2024 - Koilkonda Police Station, Mahabubnagar. 6. Crime No. 411/2025-Pendurthi Police Station, Visakhapatnam.With the registration of the present Crime No.147/2026, the accused is now facing seven criminal cases in total. The investigating agency has relied upon this criminal history while opposing bail and seeking judicial custody, contending that the accused is likely to continue committing similar offences if released and that further custodial investigation is necessary to uncover the full extent of the alleged organised economic crime. The case stands as another significant example of Advocate Nagurbabu N's determined legal advocacy on behalf of victims of financial fraud. By invoking the constitutional jurisdiction of the Telangana High Court and ensuring judicial oversight of the investigation, he played a crucial role in securing meaningful investigative action that ultimately resulted in the arrest of the accused. As the investigation progresses, authorities are expected to examine additional victims, trace financial transactions, identify possible accomplices, and recover the alleged proceeds of crime. The outcome of the investigation will determine the full extent of the criminal liability of the accused in accordance with law.

&nbsp;Mahesh Babu's limited involvement in the promotions of Srinivasa Mangapuram turns out as a hot topic on social media. Apart from a couple of promotional videos and a social media message wishing the team well, Mahesh stayed away from the film's promotional campaign. This has naturally raised many questions.One section of movie lovers stating that Mahesh sense the film's outcome in advance and choose to keep his distance. Some believe he may have had reservations about the film's commercial prospects and therefore limited his promotional involvement.Whether his relatively low-key promotion reflected a lack of confidence in the film or was simply a matter of circumstance remains a subject of speculation. Until Mahesh or the makers address the issue, the real reason behind his limited promotional presence will remain unknown.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;Stars remuneration indicates Tollywood growth. Till sometime back, Tollywood market used to be confined to two Telugu stages and few overseas collections. During that time, even heroes remuneration crossing by few crores used to be a discussion point.However over the decade long progress, heroes remuneration is not just confined to their stardom but also denotes how Tollywood expanded. In 2010, star hero used to get Rs 6-9crs and at that time business model depended on theatrical and satellite rights as overseas market remained limited. So the star should get huge openings to increase his remuneration.But situation changed and with Telugu films getting dubbed and releasing in other languages across the country and international recognition , expanded the industry horizons. Stars market also expanded across the country. Now few stars are getting more than Rs 100crs and this is not just due to fan base but also due to digital, theatrical, satellite, audio and overseas rights revenue. Producers return on investment increased through various sources and.- Pramod Nandivada

Now, Tollywood directors working style changed completely. Earlier they used to ready a story and then chose a hero and work accordingly. But things changed drastically as all the top and midrange heroes are busy with their commitments. So directors are not depending on one story.They are readying two to thre stories and planning multiple script strategies. This is not just due to the dates of the heroes but also directors getting changes are depending on the result of their films. If their film fail, they are finding it difficult to get the next project.So the directors instead of waiting for years working on one story, they are readying stories in multiple genres to be on safe side. The OTT market expansion, Pan India opportunities and numerous commitments are making stars busy and so directors are having various plans so that even if one hero is not available, they can rope in another hero. Rather than changing the story as per the hero's image, the filmmakers are coming with stories suited for various actors. ---- Pramod Nandivada

Recently Pooja Hegde's role in Jana Nayagan got trimmed, earlier Kajal's role in Bhagawanth Kesari trimmed, Anushka, Kajal and Tamannaah failed to make an impact with Ghaati, Satyabhama and Odela 2 and the list continues.A star producer says "Actresses often end up making poor choices because they don't always have a complete picture of how their characters will eventually shape up on screen," He continued "Many roles are diluted during production or trimmed during editing. By the time the film releases, there is very little they can do."He cited the examples of Nidhi Agerwal, Ridhi Kumar and Malavika Mohanan in The Raja Saab. He said "Yash's Toxic features Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Rukmini Vasanth and Tara Sutaria. Although such ensembles generate excitement, the real question remains whether each actress gets a meaningful part. While the actresses in The Raja Saab may have been disappointed by the limited scope of their roles, it remains to be seen how Toxic utilises its star-studded female cast."Producer Vishnu Induri says "I don't think it's only about glamour," &nbsp;He adds "Every producer and director casts actors with a purpose. The filmmaker designs each character according to the story. Having leading actresses also expands a film's reach and strengthens its promotional appeal."He points ."Their presence at promotional events attracts audiences and media attention, adding significant value to a project,"Director Teja says "This Sankranthi too, several films are relying on multiple heroines to widen their appeal. Bharatha Mahasayulaku Vinjapthi stars Ashika Ranganath and Dimple Hayathi, while Nari Nari Naduma Murari features Samyuktha Menon and Sakshi Vaidya. Though these actresses are expected to add glamour and youthful appeal,"He continued "Most actresses in commercial entertainers are confined to a few songs and limited scenes, eventually ending up with a raw deal," he adds"Many of them are capable of delivering powerful performances, but the writing rarely allows them to do so. We have also seen instances where roles are reportedly trimmed during editing, as in the cases of Pooja Hegde in Jana Nayagan and Janhvi Kapoor in Peddi. Such developments will make actresses think twice before signing commercial films unless they are assured of meaningful characters that contribute to the story."---- Pramod Nandivada

Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: What's BehindObjection My Lord which starred Srikanth and Mukesh Rishi in the lead roles under the direction of Santosh Ayyappan is getting streamed on Zee5 starting from 31 July 2026. The promotions generated interest and let us see what the webseries offered to movielovers.Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Story ReviewObjection My Lord story revolves around an advocate and the case he argues where a father immolates following the disappearance of his daughter. The shocking incident of Narayana(Rayala Harischandra) who immolates himself following the mysterious disappearance of his daughter Sameera(Snehal Kamath), forces promising lawyer Parasuram (Srikanth) to come out of exile.Why Parasuram was in exile, what are the circumstances that forced him to do so, how it is connected to influential lawyer Viswanath (Mukesh Rishi), promising young lawyer Vedha (Ananya Sharma),CI Damu (Sameer), form the interesting part of the narration.Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Artists ReviewSrikanth breathed life into the story. He performed well showing variations according to the situation. He showed good emotions highlighting personal and professional problems. He made his presence felt in the scenes involving courtroom drama. Though such roles are tailor made for him, he added value with his performance.Mukesh Rishi is seen after a longtime and he made an impact. However his character lacked depth and under developed. Rayala Harischandra played the role of the father in a natural manner elevating the emotions. Ananya Sharma impressed with her energetic performance. Snehal Kamath did well highlighting the emotions in her role. She in fact lived in her role. Sameer is good in his role and so was Gemini Suresh.Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Technicians ReviewObjection My Lord story is penned by director Santosh Ayyappan. The series comes with 7 episodes and each episode has the duration of 25-35 minutes. Many gripping courtroom dramas like Amitabh Bachchan's Pink and its remake Pawan Kalyan's Vakeel Saab came. He drew inspiration from them and tried to tell them in a realistic way.The narration starts in an interesting manner and the director does well balancing both sides of the views. 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. The slow pace of the narration ends up irritating the people. Dialogues turnout to be pretty ordinary. The expected emotions and drama in the courtroom arguments goes missing completely. 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. Production values are decent.Objection My Lord Web Series: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e1d2e423b3717267070631790295a3795">Srikanth</li><li data-list-item-id="e782ee30177a02763c3ae97ef22e048c9">Few Scenes in The Court</li></ul>Objection My Lord Web Series: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eb04034c28c29b4175bc19f6385771c34">Missing Confrontation</li><li data-list-item-id="e44cd351a8887c6d22de6b4060954a7b1">Slow Narration</li></ul>Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Rating AnalysisObjection My Lord turns out to be a pretty ordinary, subpart courtroom drama. 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.

Karmakhya (2026) Movie: What's BehindSamuthirakhani, Abhirami's Karmakhya directed by Abhinaya Krishna generated interest with gripping teaser and trailer. The film released on 31 July 2026. Let us see what Karmakhya offered to movie lovers.Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Story ReviewKarmakhya story revolves around a young girl and the happens in her life when she tries to help her friend and how she deals with them. Kaamakhya (Samaira) volunteers to help her friend Pravillika (Saranya Pradeep) by meeting her client to enable her to attend her family wedding.However Kaamakhya's decision turns her life drastically. What happens to Kaamakhya, what roles SI Tirupathi (Samuthirakhani), Abhirami (Sarojini), her husband (Anand), Pragya (Aishwarya) and others played form rest of the narration.Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSamaira on debut came up with spirited performance. 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.

Newton 3rd Law(2026) Movie: What's BehindSumanth, who of late has been choosing unique and interesting entertainers recently impressed with his performance in films like Malli Rava and Anaganaga.

The film is directed by Rajesh Karna and its OTT rights have been bagged by Netflix. Streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. Let us see what Newtons 3rd Law offered to movie lovers.Newton 3rd Law(2026) Movie: Story ReviewNewtons 3rd Law story revolves around the mysterious death of a youngster and the startling revelations unraveled during the investigation. Police Officer Vasudev (Sumanth) starts investigating the mysterious death of a youngster Vinay (Trinadh Varma). Where his investigation leads to, what roles Vinay's parents Gangadhar (Ravi Varma), Parvathi (Shelly Kumar), his friend Karthik (Gowtham Pandit), Jyothi (Neha Pathan), Shravya (Neha Pathan), police officer Kishore aka David (Avasarala Srinivas), dreaded gangster Mercury (Jagapathi Babu) form the twists and turns.Newton 3rd Law(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSumanth came up with a mature and settled performance. He slipped into the role of the police officer with effortless ease and showed good mannerisms. His body language and screen presence elevated the scenes. He showed variations in emotions and expressions and also in dialogue delivery. At times, he expressed through his eyes.Trinadh Varma played the role of the youngster who gets sandwiched between his own parents and that of his quarrelling parents and how he acts in pressure and frustration. Gowtham Pandit in the role of his friend is good and both helped the narration to carry forward.Shelly Kumar played the role of the mother to perfection. She got realistic and hard hitting dialogues and she came up with natural and realistic expressions and emotions. Ravi Varma did well in the role of the father who once lived a royal life before suffering losses.Neha Pathan played an important role and she did full justice to it. Jagapathi Babu looked menacing as the don and he did well in the role tailormade for him. Avasarala Srinivas is good as the cop. Harini Rao is also good in her role and she connects chords. Abhinayaa and Rupesh Marappu played their roles accordingly.Newton 3rd Law(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewNewtons 3 Law story is penned by Rajesh Karna. He drew inspiration from physics' popular Newton's Third Law and came up with a crime thriller. He started the narration without wasting time showing the investigation scenes of the murder. The first half goes at a steady pace with narration intact except for few drags here and there. The screenplay is racy and with twists coming now and then, the first half turns out to be a decent watch.This set the tone for the interesting second half. While many expected the investigation to take off to new heights, the director Karna concentrated on highlighting the emotions and this impacted the pace of the narration. The screenplay went for the toss and this put off the viewers disconnecting them completely.To the top of it, the uneven pace, convoluted screenplay and investigation detailing instead of showing in action, concluding in dialogues, turned out to be a huge disappointment. What started as a thrilling ride turned out to be a bumpy ride in the end.The cinematography of Veda Vyas Gottipati showed the scenes in a natural and impactful manner. 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.

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. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Newtons 3 Law.

Let us find out what the film offers to movie lovers.&nbsp; Srinivasa Mangapuram Story ReviewSrinivasa Mangapuram story revolves around two youngsters and how their lives change drastically when they fall in love. Srinu ( Jai Krishna) lands in Tirupathi and gets attracted towards a beautiful girl, Manga ( Rasha Thadani), daughter of influential person Peddi Reddy ( Kick Shyam).Where this leads to, what roles Venkatappayya Naidu(Mohan Babu ), Balu ( Brahmaji), Swantra Babu ( Naresh), Vara (Vasuki), Lakshmipathi (Ajay), and others from the interesting part. 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. He is ok on screen and should hone his expressions and emotions to reach the next level of stardom. Be it dialogues, expressions, mannerisms, dialogue delivery, body language, Jai krishna imitated his uncle Mahesh Babu.Rasha Thadani looked good on screen on her Tollywood debut. 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. Production values are decent.Srinivasa Mangapuram Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ea182c9450686c2bc3b99ca8c7e5f143a">Jai Krishna</li></ul>Srinivasa Mangapuram Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e9b1f83f9f4b3f01107c00f39577c231b">Redundant, Obsolete Story</li><li data-list-item-id="ee4c0d4a35e1a30346d3987bbd3b9903d">Screenplay, Direction</li></ul>Srinivasa Mangapuram Rating AnalysisAltogether, Srinivasa Mangapuram is an outdated romantic action entertainer. 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;

Kiran Abbavaram showed variations in his body language as an orphan and also as a youngster who falls in love. He delivered dialogues expressing and emoting according to the situation. His screen presence added value to the proceedings.Sri Gouri Priya played the lead role, and she elevated the scenes with her performance. However as she played the role of a girl who suffers breakup, she came up with strong emotions and powerful and emotional performance and dialogue delivery.Thrigun played his role to the perfection. He helped the narration carry forward with his performance. &nbsp;Siri Hanumanthu, Mahender, Naveen, Pooja &nbsp;performed well in the role of friends. Pramodini, Devi Prasad did well in the role of parents while Karuna Kumar played a key role. Star Tamil director P.Vasu appeared in a cameo.Chennai Love Story (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewChennai Love Story is penned by Sai Rajesh and it is directed by Ravi Namburi. The first half sails smoothly with simple scenes like introduction of the hero and heroine and few comedy scenes before the blossoming of romance. The interval twist comes as a surprise element.The interval twist sets the stage for the second half and once again it starts with the pain and agony of the female lead. 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 color pallets he chose is apt and added value to the output. The songs tuned by Mani Sharma are melodious and shot in the backdrop of beautifully erected sets. He elevated the scenes with his background music. Editing of Santosh Naidu is ok but could have been better as there are repetitive scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues on love and life are thought provoking and impactful.

Kiran Abbavaram and Sri Gouri Priya came up with spirited performances and director Ravi Namburi started the narration in a simple manner before turning the first half into a decent one with good twist. When one expected the film to take off to new heights in the second half, it slips down with dragged narration and illogical scenes. The emotional scenes and conflict has been highlighted quite well in the first half and the twist comes at a good time but he failed to maintain the same tempo in the second half.A little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay would have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Chennai Love Story.

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.

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;

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.

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.

Jagannadhan IPS (Anand) and others form rest of the developments.Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSatyadev put in lot of effort for his role. He is seen in different outfits, mannerisms and transformed his body language accordingly as per the timeline in the narration. He modulated his dialogue delivery according to the situation and impressed with his dialogue delivery. He showed good expressions and emotions according to the situation. This is best performance in all his films till now and even the nay Sayers will concur.Deepa Thomas who played the female lead did justice to it. 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;
