&nbsp; &nbsp;The promotional campaign for Ramayana is increasingly drawing attention for reasons beyond the film itself. After Sai Pallavi’s remarks about Ravana triggered criticism on social media, Rakul Preet Singh has now landed in a similar controversy over her portrayal of Surpanakha.In a viral interview clip, Rakul described Surpanakha as a misunderstood and layered character, pointing out that she was the reason the war took place. While the actress appears to be discussing the character's importance to the story, sections of social media have questioned this interpretation. Some users have even accused the film's team of trying to portray the epic's negative characters in a favourable light.This comes just days after Sai Pallavi said that Ravana was "not all bad" while explaining the moral lesson of recognising the good and bad within oneself. Her comments also received mixed reactions, with some defending her explanation and others objecting to her choice of words.The two incidents have brought an unexpected focus on the actresses' interpretations of the epic. With Ramayana arriving in theatres on November 5, the challenge for the team is to keep the conversation centred on the film rather than allowing promotional remarks to overshadow it.- Ashish

A hero spends years trying to deliver a career-defining blockbuster. But once that film arrives, a new problem begins. His next release is no longer judged on its own merits. It is compared with the film that made him a bigger star. The success he once chased can become the biggest pressure on his next choice.Prabhas knows this feeling after Baahubali. The film took his stardom to another level, but following it was never going to be easy. The expectations were so high that choosing his next project itself became a major challenge. He has spoken about how the pressure affected his sleep for two to three years.Allu Arjun, on the other hand, has described the pressure to deliver another hit as a privilege. After the success of Pushpa and Pushpa 2, expectations around his next film have naturally grown.Nani's approach offers another perspective. He has spoken about choosing stories that interest him rather than getting carried away by expectations around scale and pan-India reach.That is the difficult position a blockbuster puts a star in. Making a hit is one challenge; escaping its shadow is another. The audience wants the next film to be bigger, the trade expects bigger numbers, and the hero still has to find a story worth telling. Sometimes, following a blockbuster can be harder than delivering one.

She is a character with a significant place in this epic, and exploring her world has been an incredible journey as an actor.

I’m excited for audiences to see this portrayal and experience the world that Nitesh Tiwari and Namit Malhotra are bringing to life on such a grand scale.”She said" I think what was so exciting were a couple of things. First, it's India's representation to the world. Our history, our truth represented to the world's first ever-global film. Secondly, Surpanakha is a very misunderstood and layered character.

Fatwa against Sara Ali Khan. Sara Ali Khan, daughter of Saif Ali Khan is known to visit temples quite often. She recently visited Kedarnath Temple in Uttarakhand and offered prayers at the holy shrine.Following that Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi, national president of the All India Muslim Jamaat, declared the actress’s temple visit impermissible under Sharia law. He said, "I have received information that film actress Sara Ali Khan visited Kedarnath (Temple) and performed acts of worship. If she truly did this from the heart, then the rulings of Sharia apply to her, because she is a Muslim, and for a Muslim, visiting a temple and engaging in acts of worship falls under the category of shirk (polytheism); it is 'najayaz' (impermissible) and 'haram' (forbidden).""Sara Ali Khan has committed an impermissible and forbidden act; therefore, according to Sharia, she is required to perform 'Tauba' (repent)," he stated.In the meantime, The spiritual head of Parmarth Niketan Ashram Swami Chidanand Saraswati said “I believe ‘fatwas’ should not be issued against anyone. If a person has committed a sin, one can understand the concern. But issuing a ‘fatwa’ against someone who is following a path of virtue is difficult to understand,”-- Nirvighn Nandivada

Cult(2026) Movie: What's BehindMass Ka Das Vishwak Sen who is known for his different genre mass entertainers is coming up with the film titled Cult. Interest levels are increasing as Vishwak Sen himself is directing the project. With the makers promoting the film as the most violent, people are excited. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by . Let us see what Cult offered to movie lovers.Cult(2026) Movie: Story ReviewCult story revolves around the shocking incidents that happen inside the birthday party of the top politician's son. Home Minister (Murali Sharma) aspires to be the next CM and in the meantime, shocking incidents happen in the birthday party hosted by his son Elvin (Tarak Ponnappa). &nbsp;What are those shocking incidents, what role DSP Sanklap Nayak (Vishwak Sen) played and how Maya (Gayatri Bharadwaj), Police Commissioner Vijay Mishra (Srikanth Iyengar) are connected form the crux of the narration.Cult(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVishwak Sen once again made an impact with his swag and mannerisms in the role of the police. He showed non sensical attitude in a realistic way in his body language. He made good impact with his expressions and emotions. His dialogue delivery &nbsp;and punches elevate the scenes. He enacted stunts with ease and with full energy.Tarak Ponnappa is good in the role of the minister's son. He impressive with his arrogant mannerisms. Murali Sharma is good in the role of the Home Minister and Srikanth Iyengar made his presence felt as the commissioner. Gayatri Bharadwaj is ok with her performance but her role is not that of importance in the film.Cult(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewCult story &nbsp;is penned by Vishwak Sen. He tried to thrill viewers with the violent action thriller. However he came up with a routine revenge drama increasing the dosage of violence. Most of the time, the narration is high on action and violence sequences and due to this the story and screenplay went for a toss. The entire first half is loaded with predictable elements and the story picks up pace only after the entry of Vishwak Sen &nbsp;and the games in the party. The interval bang sets the stage for the second half.The second half is racy with the unraveling of the mystery and blended with action elements. But &nbsp;the flashback turns routine and climax lacks the thrill. The film ends with the lead to the sequel. The story resembles that of Squid Games and though it is new to the Telugu movie lovers on the big screen, those who watches similar films in OTTs find nothing exciting.The background music of Ravi Basrur elevated many scenes. Aravind Viswanathan's cinematography is good and showed the scenes in a stylish way. The editing of Ravi Teja Girijala is ok. Production values are ok.Cult Movie: AdvantagesVishwak SenAction SequencesCult Movie: DisadvantagesFlashbackClimaxCult(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Cult turns out to be routine violent action entertainer. Vishwak Sen acted and directed the film. Vishwak Sen drew inspiration of Hollyood films and series like Squid Games. The story turns routine and screenplay turned out to be a mixed back. With the most of the story starting only after more than one hour, viewers get impatient. The weak flashback and climax played the spoilsport.To the top of it, Vishwak Sen who made an impact as an actor on the screen appears only at the end of the first half, disappointing all. Little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay, doing away with predictable first half and other scenes, things would have been different. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Cult.

Tamil Nadu’s film industry has recently asked the state government to allow cinema theatres to screen movies from 6 am, bringing early morning shows back into focus. Producer bodies, theatre owners and distributors raised the request during a meeting with Cinematography Minister Rajmohan in Chennai on October 29.They have sought permission to run shows from 6 am until 2 am, giving theatres room for five or six screenings across Tamil Nadu. Industry representatives say the schedule could help manage crowded release days, offer audiences more choices and reduce the advantage enjoyed by films releasing in neighbouring states.Early morning shows were once a big part of Tamil cinema, with star films opening at 4 am or even earlier. However, Tamil Nadu tightened the rules in 2023 after a fan died during celebrations around Ajith Thunivu’s early screening. Since then, regular shows have generally started only from 9 am.The meeting also covered an eight week gap between theatrical and OTT releases, a streaming platform, subsidies for small films and support for unreleased projects. The minister said the proposals would be discussed with the government. For now, the 6 am show request is a demand, not an approved rule yet. - Veda

Home Minister (Murali Sharma) aspires to be the next CM and in the meantime, shocking incidents happen in the birthday party hosted by his son Elvin (Tarak Ponnappa). &nbsp;What are those shocking incidents, what role DSP Sanklap Nayak (Vishwak Sen) played and how Maya (Gayatri Bharadwaj), Police Commissioner Vijay Mishra (Srikanth Iyengar) are connected form the crux of the narration.Cult(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVishwak Sen once again made an impact with his swag and mannerisms in the role of the police. He showed non sensical attitude in a realistic way in his body language. He made good impact with his expressions and emotions. His dialogue delivery &nbsp;and punches elevate the scenes. He enacted stunts with ease and with full energy.Tarak Ponnappa is good in the role of the minister's son. He impressive with his arrogant mannerisms. Murali Sharma is good in the role of the Home Minister and Srikanth Iyengar made his presence felt as the commissioner. Gayatri Bharadwaj is ok with her performance but her role is not that of importance in the film.Cult(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewCult story &nbsp;is penned by Vishwak Sen. He tried to thrill viewers with the violent action thriller. However he came up with a routine revenge drama increasing the dosage of violence. Most of the time, the narration is high on action and violence sequences and due to this the story and screenplay went for a toss. The entire first half is loaded with predictable elements and the story picks up pace only after the entry of Vishwak Sen &nbsp;and the games in the party. The interval bang sets the stage for the second half.The second half is racy with the unraveling of the mystery and blended with action elements. But &nbsp;the flashback turns routine and climax lacks the thrill. The film ends with the lead to the sequel. The story resembles that of Squid Games and though it is new to the Telugu movie lovers on the big screen, those who watches similar films in OTTs find nothing exciting.The background music of Ravi Basrur elevated many scenes. Aravind Viswanathan's cinematography is good and showed the scenes in a stylish way. The editing of Ravi Teja Girijala is ok. Production values are ok.Cult Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Vishwak Sen</li><li>Action Sequences</li></ul>Cult Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Flashback</li><li>Climax</li></ul>Cult(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Cult turns out to be routine violent action entertainer. Vishwak Sen acted and directed the film. Vishwak Sen drew inspiration of Hollyood films and series like Squid Games. The story turns routine and screenplay turned out to be a mixed back. With the most of the story starting only after more than one hour, viewers get impatient. The weak flashback and climax played the spoilsport.To the top of it, Vishwak Sen who made an impact as an actor on the screen appears only at the end of the first half, disappointing all. Little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay, doing away with predictable first half and other scenes, things would have been different. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Cult.

He entertains with his trademark mannerisms, dialogue delivery and expressions. He also emotes well in the serious portions and carries several scenes with his screen presence. His performance remains one of the film's biggest strengths.Srinidhi Shetty looks good on screen and impresses with her innocent performance.

The first half then moves forward with a mix of comedy and family situations. Though the proceedings are somewhat predictable, Trivikram's dialogues and Venkatesh's performance keep the momentum going.The interval sequence comes with a surprise and creates some interest for the second half. However, the sequence also reminds us of the Tamil film Blast.The second half is where the film loses some of its freshness. The proceedings become predictable and repetitive, with the story largely focusing on how the family tries to save themselves from the criminals. Still, there are a few entertaining moments and twists that keep the film watchable before it reaches a predictable conclusion.Trivikram's story does not offer anything particularly new apart from a couple of twists. The screenplay is straightforward and lacks the novelty expected from him. However, his trademark dialogue writing and the performances help the film in several places.Thaman's songs do not make much of an impact and are not presented particularly well on screen. His background score, however, is effective and suits the proceedings.Ravi K Chandran's cinematography gives the film a colourful and appealing look. Naveen Nooli's editing is good, though the second half could have benefited from tighter cuts. The dialogues work in parts and the production values are good.Aadarsha Kutumbam Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Venkatesh</li><li>Entertaining first half</li><li>Comedy and family moments</li><li>Few interesting twists</li><li>BGM</li></ul>Aadarsha Kutumbam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable second half</li><li>Familiar situations</li><li>Lack of novelty in the screenplay</li></ul>Aadarsha Kutumbam(2026) Movie: Rating Analysis Altogether, Aadarsha Kutumbam turns out to be a fairly engaging family entertainer with a mix of comedy, thrills and unexpected turns. Venkatesh is at his entertaining best and carries the film with his trademark expressions, mannerisms and dialogue delivery. Trivikram manages to create several enjoyable moments, particularly in the first half, with his witty dialogues and interesting setup.The second half loses some of the freshness seen earlier and becomes predictable in places. A few situations also remind us of familiar films, which takes away some of the impact. Still, the film has enough entertaining moments, a few good twists and a strong lead performance to make it a decent theatrical watch.Considering the overall entertainment, Venkatesh's performance, humour, thrills and technical aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Aadarsha Kutumbam.

Ranabaali (2026) Movie: What's BehindVijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna coming back together after Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade especially after their marriage itself builds curiosity. Add to it, director Rahul Sankrityan, the man behind Taxiwaala and Shyam Singha Roy picking a 1854 to 1878 Rayalaseema famine backdrop, and Mythri Movie Makers backing it on a grand scale. Promos promised blood, pain and a never seen before Vijay. It's OTT streaming partner is announced as Netflix. Ranabaali hit theatres on October 16th. Let's see how it turns out to be.Ranabaali (2026) Movie: Story ReviewRanabaali is set in Rayalaseema between 1854 and 1878, during British rule. Singanamala Bobbili Ranabaali (Vijay Deverakonda) is born into a Palegaadu family. As per legend, he is born without breath and is blessed by Lord Bhadramallanna Swamy with life for two pushkarams. He grows up as a ferocious, going to any extent to protect his people guy. To bring him on track, his family gets him married to Jayamma (Rashmika). She tries to change him. At the same time, the whole Madras region is hit by a terrible famine, British commissioner Sir Theodore Hector (Arnold Vosloo) was appointed as the commissioner for Madras presidency and his brutal decisions leads to looting grains, lands with heavy taxes and people are dying of hunger. When Ranabaali witness that suffering with his own eyes, he turns into a rebel fighting for his people. How does he protect and turns into a nightmare to Britishers forms the crux of the story.Ranabaali (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVijay Deverakonda is genuinely sincere as Ranabaali. This is totally away from his usual urban lover boy image. He has worked hard on his body language as a drunk, careless youth in early scenes and as a ferocious warrior in action blocks. Initially it seems his Rayalaseema dialect and histrionics seem forced but gets better as the movie progresses. In many scenes, his eyes and expressions do more talking than dialogues. Interval bang and climax are where he truly shines. You can feel the anger, helplessness and pain of a leader in him.Rashmika as Jayamma is lovely but her screen time is limited. In the first half, her scenes with Vijay are heartwarming, they give you that light feel in such a heavy film. She brings grace and emotion, and it's good to see she in a role which has very good importance to the story proceedings. But she suddenly disappear and only appears during the later hour in second half and brings emotional anchor.Lal as Bhadramallanna appears in just 2-3 scenes but makes an impact. Mummy fame Arnold Vosloo as brutal commissioner did menacing act. Eshwari Rao, Vivek Sagar, Kancharapalem Kishore and others are fine in their parts.Ranabaali (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewIf you compare both halves, first half is definitely better. Rahul takes his time to create the world of 1858 Rayalaseema - the Palegaadu system, the British torture, Ranabaali's personal life. Even it is a bit slow here and there, but the Vijay - Rashmika track and period detailing keep us hooked. Interval gives a good high. Second half starts on a powerful note but soon becomes too heavy. The film keeps showing back to back suffering, battles and grief. After a point, it feel choked. We can feel the suffering more than the heroism, because the heroic payoffs don't elevate mainly due to lack of pulsating BGM. With a runtime of almost 2 hours 58 minutes, it feels stretched.Technically, the film is rich. Cinematography by Jishnu Bhattacharjee, and Nirav Shah is one of the biggest assets, it beautifully captures the dry lands, forts and villages of 19th century Rayalaseema. Production design needs a special mention. Except for a few hill portions, you won't feel it's a set, it looks like a real location. Costumes and art department have done a great job. Where the film slips badly is music. Except for Melody song between Vijay and Rashmika, no other song registers. For a film of this scale, it is expected a thundering BGM to lift those elevation scenes. But the score by Ajay - Atul duo lacks that power. That's why even well shot heroic moments and heavy emotional scenes don't give you goosebumps. If those painful scenes had ended with a strong high, the impact would have been much better. Editing by Karthika Srinivas is impressive in the first half but needs trimming in second half.Ranabaali Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Vijay Deverakonda - Rashmika</li><li>First Half</li><li>Conviction Towards Story</li><li>Production Design</li></ul>Ranabaali Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Weak Elevations</li><li>BGM</li><li>Lengthy Second Half</li><li>Heavy Emotions</li></ul>Ranabaali (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisRanabaali has a strong historical backdrop and some impactful moments, but the slow narration and lengthy runtime prevent it from making the desired impact. Vijay Deverakonda delivers a committed performance, while his chemistry with Rashmika Mandanna works in the film’s favour. The portrayal of famine conditions and British oppression also gives the story emotional weight.However, the screenplay loses momentum in the second half, with repetitive sequences and predictable developments affecting the overall experience. The background score and lack of emotional depth in some key scenes further weaken the impact. Despite its sincere attempt and a few engaging moments, the film struggles to sustain interest throughout its nearly three-hour runtime.Considering all these factors Cine Josh is going with 2.5 rating for 'Ranabaali'.

Ranabaali Review

Crazy Kalyanam(2026) Movie: What's BehindAnupama Parameswaran, Tharun Bhascker, VK Naresh and Akhil Raj come together for Crazy Kalyanam, directed by Badrappa Gajula. The film deals with a father's concerns about his daughter's marriage and her wish to become independent. With a rural Telangana backdrop and a mix of family drama and comedy, the film has an interesting point to make. Let us see how it works on screen.Crazy Kalyanam(2026) Movie: Story ReviewParvathalu (VK Naresh) has two daughters. His elder daughter is married to Balaraju (Tharun Bhascker), a man whose drinking habits and irresponsible behaviour keep creating problems for the family. Having seen this situation, Parvathalu wants to find a better match for his younger daughter Keerthi (Anupama Parameswaran). He looks for a wealthy groom who has a good background and no bad habits.Keerthi, however, has different plans. She wants to complete her education, get a job and stand on her own feet. She loves Uday (Akhil Raj), who has been in love with her since childhood. But Uday does not have a job or the financial background her father expects.Things get complicated when Parvathalu finalises a marriage proposal from a wealthy family. What will Keerthi do? Will her father understand her wishes? The rest of the story revolves around these questions.Crazy Kalyanam(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAnupama Parameswaran does a good job as Keerthi. She gets the Telangana slang right and brings the right emotions to her character. Her performance is one of the film's positives.VK Naresh gets a role that gives him a chance to show his emotional side. He is particularly effective in the final 30 minutes, where a lengthy scene stands out. His performance adds weight to the climax, even though the film takes too long to reach that point.Tharun Bhascker has the potential to bring more laughs as Balaraju, but the writing doesn't make full use of his comic timing. His character could have been much more entertaining. Akhil Raj has a good screen presence and suits the romantic role, though the love track itself lacks freshness.Crazy Kalyanam(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDirector Badrappa Gajula chooses a subject that many families can relate to. The film also has a meaningful message about girls becoming independent and parents supporting their daughters ambitions. But a good idea alone isn't enough to make a film work.The first half takes too long to establish the characters and get to the main conflict. Even Keerthi and Uday's love story fails to create much interest. The story picks up when Parvathalu diverts a marriage proposal intended for another family member and decides to arrange the match for his own daughter. However, the interval lacks the impact needed to make viewers curious about what happens next.The second half also has its share of slow moments. The English classes track and some village episodes don't add much to the story. Tharun Bhascker provides a few lighter moments, but his comedy could have been used more effectively.The film finally finds some emotional strength in the last 30 minutes. The scenes involving Naresh's character bring the much-needed intensity, and the climax conveys the importance of a girl getting an education and becoming independent. However, a fight added towards the end feels forced and doesn't fit naturally into the story.The cinematography captures the village atmosphere well, while the editing could have been sharper. The number of songs also affects the pace in places. A tighter screenplay and more engaging first half would have made a noticeable difference.Crazy Kalyanam: Advantages<ul><li>Anupama Parameswaran</li><li>VK Naresh's performance</li><li>A meaningful message</li><li>Rural Telangana backdrop</li></ul>Crazy Kalyanam: Drawbacks<ul><li>Familiar romantic track</li><li>Slow narration</li><li>Emotional scenes lack impact</li><li>Slow first half</li><li>Comedy that works only in parts</li></ul>Crazy Kalyanam(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisCrazy Kalyanam has a relatable story at its core. A father wants his daughter to marry into a wealthy family because he fears she might face the same problems as her elder sister. Meanwhile, the daughter wants to study, get a job, and make her own decisions. There is enough scope here for an engaging family drama.Unfortunately, the film takes too long to get going. The romance doesn't create much interest, the comedy has failed in many parts, several scenes feel like they are only filling time. The final 30 minutes are considerably better, with VK Naresh delivering an emotional performance that helps the film recover somewhat.The director's intentions are good, but the screenplay needed more work to turn the subject into a consistently engaging entertainer. The climax makes a point worth hearing, yet the journey towards it feels unnecessarily long.Crazy Kalyanam(2026) Movie: VerdictCrazy Kalyanam has a good message and finds some emotional strength towards the end. Anupama Parameswaran and VK Naresh deliver noteworthy performances, but the slow narration and missed opportunities with comedy hold the film back. Better writing and a tighter screenplay could have made this a more satisfying family entertainer.

Crazy Kalyanam Review

Jailer 2(2026) Movie: What's BehindMaking a sequel to a Blockbuster is a challenging task for any director. After the first part became a sensation, Sun Pictures brought back the winning combo, Nelson, Anirudh and Superstar Rajinikanth. Also when they announced Vidya Balan, SJ Suryah, and Mithun Chakraborty as the Kalpauk family, the buzz intensifies. Jailer 2 hit the theatres on October 15. Did Nelson pull it off ? Let's see in a detailed review..Jailer 2 (2026) Movie: Story ReviewJailer 2 continues right from where Jailer ended. Tiger Muthuvel Pandian's family is still dealing with the loss of his son Arjun. But Tiger Muthuvel Pandian cleaning up Varma's idol smuggling gang has further leads into more antagonists. Dileep (Suraj Venjaramoodu), &nbsp;a close aide of Varma is hunting for the man who killed Varma. Meanwhile Muthuvel uses Moorthy (Namo Narayana) and his gang to reach Dileep. Then while Dileep is searching for Varma's killer, all roads lead to Muthuvel. That's when the real game starts. The new threat is not a single man, but a whole family syndicate, The Kalpauks, Father Kalpak (Mithun Chakraborty), Bodhi (SJ Suryah) and Kantha (Vidya Balan). How, Muthuvel deals with them follows the entire second half and offcourse gives a lead to Third Installment too.Jailer 2 (2026 Movie): Artists ReviewThis film belongs to Rajinikanth. He is the soul of Jailer 2. But, in Jailer 1, we saw Muthuvel as a normal, retired, soft spoken jailer and that innocence made his mass transformation organic and emotional. In Jailer 2, he is a powerful force from frame one. That surprise factor is missing. Still, his swag is untouched, his comic timing is spot on and when he walks in slow motion with Anirudh's BGM, theatres still erupt. Those elevation scenes are pure goosebumps.The real surprise is Suraj Venjaramoodu. Honestly, he looks more menacing and serious in the first half than the actual main villains in the second half. He holds the entire first half on his shoulders. His track with Namo Narayana is hilarious and also builds tension.Now coming to the biggest disappointment, the Kalpauk family. SJ Suryah as Bodhi tries his best and gets a couple of good face offs with Rajini, but his character quickly becomes loud and repetitive. Vidya Balan as Kantha gets very less screen time and her villainy barely registers except for a couple of laughs due to her 'message' chemistry with Rajini. Mithun Chakraborty is completely underwhelming. To be frank, none of them come even close to what Vinayakan did as Varma in the first part. That raw, unpredictable madness is totally missing.Namo Narayana as Moorthy is a laugh riot. Probably his best role till date. Ramya Krishnan, Mirnaa and Yogi Babu are just okay, they don't have much to do. And we have to talk about the special number. Remember how Tamannaah's Kaavaalaa set screens on fire? Nora Fatehi's number in this one feels forced, like a filler song added just for the sake of it.Jailer 2 (2026) Movie: &nbsp;Technicians ReviewFirst half is completely filled with Nelson mark. This is where he shines. He balances his trademark dark comedy with mass elevations so well. The characters are quirky, dialogues are witty and scenes like the tea stall shooting and bridge fight are designed purely as mass fans moments. Followed by a banger interval block with Dileep just elevates everything and makes us think second half will be bigger.But second half is a different story. Once the Kalpauk family enters, the film becomes static. Same kind of scenes repeat, emotional connect doesn't feel organic like the first part and the confrontations look like Nelson is trying too hard to recreate Jailer 1 moments. The main strength in Jailer 1 is how seamlessly it blends The powerful cameos of Shivaraj Kumar and Mohanlal into the narrative whereas those cameos look forced and bland in Jailer 2. But, the much talked about Hrithik Roshan Cameo worked well. The pre climax feels stretched and climax fight is well executed.Technically, Anirudh is the second hero after Rajini. His BGM is power packed and lifts every elevation, but the songs themselves break the flow. He never missed the opportunity to elevate Thalaivar's aura. Vijay Kartik Kannan's visuals are slick and give a rich look to both Coimbatore and Goa portions. Editing by Nirmal should have been tighter, especially in the last 45 minutes. At 2 hours 45 minutes, the film feels long. At least 10 - 15 minutes could have been trimmed, especially in second half.Jailer 2 Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Rajinikanth Swag &amp; Presence</li><li>Banger Interval</li><li>Nelson Mark Comedy In First Half</li><li>Anirudh BGM</li></ul>Jailer 2 Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Repetitive Scenes In Second half</li><li>Cartoonish Villains</li><li>Less Emotional Connect</li></ul>Jailer 2 (2026) : Rating AnalysisJailer 2 works in parts. It rides high on Thalaivar's swag, Nelson's comedy in first half and Anirudh's BGM. But the weak second half and cartoonish villains pull it down. It's a decent one time watch for fans, but it never matches the freshness of Jailer. Considering all these, CineJosh is going with &nbsp;2.75 &nbsp;rating.&nbsp;

Mayookha(2026) Movie: What's BehindPayal Chengappa, Dev D's thriller Mayookha, directed by Shree Tej, is releasing on 9 October 2026. Let us find out how the film entertained movie lovers.Mayookha(2026) Movie: Story ReviewMayookha's story revolves around the startling happenings in the life of a young and beautiful professional and how she deals with them.Mayookha (Payal Chengappa), a bank professional, experiences mysterious happenings in her apartment at night. What are these happenings? What roles do SI Dev (Dev D), Veeru's Father ( Muralidhar Goud), Hindi ( Charishma Dabbara), Divya(Janu Varma), Security Ravi ( Nanaji Karri), Carpenter Kumar (Amad Masud), Anwar Chacha(Vegi Naidu), Fisherman (Manikanta) form the interesting part.Mayookha(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewPayal Chengappa impressed with her cute looks. She lived in the role of a middle-class girl who showed variations in expressions, exhibiting fear, innocence and shyness.Dev Shashank performed well in the role of a police officer. He is impressive with his screen presence. Muralidhar Goud is good in the role of the father. He got limited screen presence.Lavanya Rani, Charishma Dabbara, Aman Masud and others performed according to their roles.Mayookha(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMayookha story is penned by Shree Tej SK. He chose a new concept in thrillers, and it is phrogging, which has never been touched in Tollywood. He managed to generate interest with the twists and turns to some extent. The first half starts in an interesting manner with the murder and then the fears and psychological behaviour of the girl, generating curiosity about whether she is in danger or hallucinating.The second half turns racy after the first half takes time to pick up pace due to the introduction of characters and their behaviours. The unravelling of twists and also the half an hour in the run-up to the climax takes the viewers to another level. However, once the final twist is revealed, the film's pace dips. The antagonist in the climax tests the patience of the viewers with his monologuing.The background music of Sibi Mathew Alex is good. It increased the intensity levels in the story. The cinematography of Farhan Vadakkan is good. It showed the scenes in an impactful manner. Sharat J's editing could have been better, as there are drags in the narration. Production values are good.Mayookha Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Payal Chengappa</li><li>New Concept</li><li>Few Twists</li></ul>Mayookha Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Gory Scenes</li><li>Routine Shades</li></ul>Mayookha(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Mayookha turns out to be an interesting thriller on a new concept, phrogging. Payal Chengappa performed well, and the director Shree Tej's story included a few interesting twists and turns with a racy screenplay. He took a lot of time to enter the main plot in the first half, and it diluted the essence. A few predictable elements, slow pace undid the good work. The gory scenes could have been toned down completely. A little fine-tuning of the script and interesting twists would have added more firepower. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Mayooka. &nbsp;

Sapta Sagaralu Sapta Girulu (2026) Movie: What's BehindTamil film Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai starring Nivin Pauly, Anjali and Soori is releasing in Telugu as Sapta Sagaralu Sapta Girulu. The film which was titled Sanchari, underwent a title change due to controversy. The film hit the screens on 9 Oct 2026. Let us see what the film offered to movie lovers.Sapta Sagaralu Sapta Girulu (2026) Movie: Story ReviewThe story of Sapta Sagaralu Sapta Girulu revolves around a mysterious man who is immortal for years and how he behaves when he comes across current generation people. Soori (Soori) is on his way to his native place after returning from Dubai. He happens to meet a stranger (Nivin Pauly) and it leads to startling incidents. What are those startling incidents and how it is connected to a girl (Anjali) whom the stranger is searching form the interesting part.Sapta Sagaralu Sapta Girulu (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSoori is ok in his role. He looked natural and realistic and showed them through his body language, expressions and dialogue delivery. However the comedy he tried to create looked artificial and unnatural, looking at the situation he was in. Nivin Pauly looked a total miscast. He couldn't bring the so-called flexibility and delicacy which the role demanded and looked stiff most of the times. Anjali makes an impact in her role with her enigmatic presence. Others performed accordingly.Sapta Sagaralu Sapta Girulu (2026) Movie: Technical ReviewSapta Sagaralu Sapta Girulu story is penned by Ram and he tried to captivate all by highlighting the human emotions in various situations as per their convenience. He seems to have drawn inspiration from the Hollywood film &nbsp;The Man From Earth and Indianised it accordingly.He tried to generate interest among movie lovers with black humour, blending it with fantasy and emotional elements. However, Ram for all his efforts failed to highlight them in a convincing manner on the screen. He tried a non-linear screenplay and in shifting from one role to another, did not do justice to any one of characters.The protagonist being immortal excites all. However, there ends the interest, as the film that is set to fascinate viewers instead leaves them confused. After a point time, the immortality itself ends up irritating viewers. The hallucinations, reincarnations and other elements instead end up irritating everyone rather than making them sit up and watch. The screenplay turned out to be abrasive, and the emotions goes missing. Every time Soori tries to jump out of the train, viewers get a feeling that they should jump out of the theatres. The lame excuse and convenient narration played the spoilsport.The music of GV.Prakash Kumar is soulful and his background score elevated the scenes. Ekhambaram's cinematography beautified the film, and he captured the scenic locations in a captivating way. The CGI and VFX are just below average. The artificial feel diluted the overall experience. However, the same cannot be said of Mathi's editing, as the entire narration turned out to be a patience tester. Dialogues are ok. Production values are good.Sapta Sagaralu Sapta Girulu Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Message</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>BGM</li></ul>Sapta Sagaralu Sapta Girulu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Slow Pace</li><li>Non-linear screenplay</li></ul>Sapta Sagaralu Sapta Girulu (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether,Sapta Sagaralu Sapta Girulu gives immense torture with an irritating story. Nivin Pauly turns out to be a miscast, Soori fails to entertain and director Ram failed to Indianise the Hollywood film though he tried to connect chords with emotions. Everything fell apart and Ram failed completely with his story, screenplay and direction and overall execution. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.25 Rating for Sapta Sagaralu Sapta Girulu.

Chakkora -The Lunar Bird(2026) Movie: What's BehindChakkora The Lunar Love Bird is releasing on 9 October 2026. Interest levels are decent on the film as it is helmed by Manga Srinivas, a protege of dashing director Puri Jagannath.Chakkora -The Lunar Bird(2026) Movie: Story ReviewChakkora The Lunar Love Bird story revolves around a youngster who goes to any extent for the girl he gets attracted to and &nbsp;how he deals with the happenings in his life thereafter.Ravana ( Sravan) gets attracted and goes all out to win the heart of the beautiful girl Jabili aka Julie ( Malaika Vasupal). When everything goes on a happy tone, he has a surprise in store.What is that surprise, what roles Ravana's parents Jayaram (Brahmaji), Janaki (Indraja), grandfather (LB.Sriram), his friend Rajababu(Sudarshan), Julie 's father Peter (Suman), Kaumidi( Anushka Luhar) form the interesting part.Chakkora -The Lunar Bird(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSravan came up with an impressive performance. He showed variations in his expressions and emotions according to the situation. He showed his skills in stunts and dances. He delivered dialogues accordingly. Little fine-tuning will take him to the next level.Malaika Vasupal is ok in her looks and performed well complementing the protagonist in a perfect manner. Both of them with their performances helped the story to move forward.Brahmaji and Indraja as the parents of the protagonist did justice while Suman and Manichandana did the same in the role of the female lead's parents. Sudarshan evoked few laughs while Anushka Luhar and LB.Sriram got limited roles.Chakkora -The Lunar Bird(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewChakkora The Lunar Love Bird story is written by Manga Srinivas. He starts the narration in a typical but interesting manner. He then tries to show the hero trying to win the heart of the girl with his antics and they turn routine. Though the story has predictable elements, he tries to generate interest with the screenplay.To some extent, he succeeded. The second half Jitender drags it to the core, with the hero searching endlessly before the twist, which is routine, is revealed. Finally, the film concludes with a message that it is not the end of the road with love failure and breakup, and one can move forward, savoring the memorable moments.Manga Srinivas did a decent job with the story, screenplay, and direction. The songs tuned by Prince Henry are foot-tapping and melodious. They are shot well on screen and added value to the narration. His background music elevated the scenes, taking viewers into the story.The cinematography is taken care of by Ruppa Gopikrishna and captured the scenic locations aptly, giving a realistic feel to the scenes. Dialogues are fine and according to the situation. Production values are decent.Chakkora -The Lunar Bird Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Sravan</li><li>Music</li></ul>Chakkora -The Lunar Bird Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Preachy Elements</li><li>Predictable Scenes</li></ul>Chakkora -The Lunar Bird(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Chakkora The Lunar Love Bird turns out to be a decent entertainer with predictability. While the first half has some moments, the second half turns routine with preachy and repetitive elements that impact the flow of the narration. A little fine-tuning of the script would have added value to the final outcome. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Chakkora The Lunar Love Bird.
