&nbsp;&nbsp; Awarapan 2 opened August 14 with Rs 22 crore net and jumped to Rs 33.75 crore on Saturday. Sunday added Rs 17.80 crore, taking the three day India net to Rs 73.55 crore and gross to Rs 87.90 crore. Independence Day holiday gave the sequel strong momentum across India.Trade analyst Taran Adarsh called Saturday dhamakedaar with high occupancy in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Nostalgia for the 2007 original, Emraan Hashmi comeback and popular music helped. The film is set to be among the biggest Hindi opening weekends of 2026 with Rs 85 crore plus estimates.Batwara 1947 Box Office Day 3 Performance And Weekend Trend Batwara 1947 started with Rs 5.75 crore net on Friday and rose to Rs 13.50 crore on Saturday. Sunday dropped to Rs 5.47 crore. The three day India net stands at Rs 24.72 crore with gross at Rs 29.36 crore. The Sunny Deol Preity Zinta period drama lagged behind.The film got a patriotic boost but lost steam on Sunday. Still, positive word of mouth and no major Hindi releases until September give it a clear window. Emraan and Sunny last clashed in 2007 with Awarapan versus Apne, and history repeated with Emraan Hashmi winning this time. - Veda &nbsp;

&nbsp;Yash addressed the ₹4,000 crore buzz around Ramayana on Aap Ki Adalat. The KGF star, also co-producer, said the figure covers production, global marketing and worldwide release for the two-part epic.

DNEG is handling VFX to build a large scale visual world. Part 1 releases overseas on November 6, 2026 and in India on November 8, 2026. Part 2 is slated for Diwali 2027.Yash said adapting Ramayana is challenging as everyone grew up with different versions from TV, films and family stories. The goal is to balance big screen entertainment with cultural values. Co-producer Namit Malhotra is pushing for a scale that matches the epic’s stature for global audiences.He chose to play Ravan because a powerful villain makes Ram’s victory meaningful. “We need a Ravan who feels unbeatable with all boons,” Yash explained. By positioning the antagonist strongly, the film aims to create emotional impact and deliver a fresh, cinematic interpretation of the timeless story.- Veda

Another wondered if these effects could have elevated the series. “Is this effect what domestic directors wanted for Investiture of the Gods?” Another comment read, “How does this feel better than the domestic films from the past two years?”Many Chinese viewers bemoaned that local filmmakers are unable to give Chinese mythology the same treatment. “We can't make such epic myths because these sh***y directors lack respect for our national myths, complained one.Many other comments called the film’s effects better than even some Hollywood blockbusters. “The filming is better than Legendary,” read one comment, referring to Legendary Entertainment, which has produced films like 300, Clash of the Titans, Godzilla, and the Jurassic World franchise.

Is the ruling Congress an unwitting victim of its own apathy towards the State Information Department or is it simply a case of the Department&rsquo;s key officers not being up to the mark?
Despite the Congress government under former chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy launching many pro-poor programmes, and carrying forward existing schemes like Jalayagnam, Fee Reimbursement, Arogyasri, IKP, SHG and a Legislation to control MFIs among others, the state has not shone brightly on the National horizon.
Contrasted to this, the TDP regime on the other hand shone brightly in spite of adopting a &lsquo;no stress&rsquo; policy on pro-poor steps.
What is the reason behind this?
Almost seven years after he was voted out of power in the state, Telugu Desam Party president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is still remembered as a dynamic and active leader by NRIs and politicians outside of Andhra Pradesh.
The secret behind his prevailing popularity is perhaps the fact that he had emphasized on publicity which worked wonders during the TDP&rsquo;s 9-year rule in the state.
The same publicity, or lack of it, has surely failed to arouse the interest of the world over the work carried out by YSR and continued by his successors.&nbsp;
People still remember the &lsquo;Janmabhoomi&rsquo; programme but most barely recall what the programme was all about.
Compared to the Janmabhoomi, its counterpart &lsquo;Rachcha Banda&rsquo; attracted the attention of the poor villagers who flocked at the Chief Minister&rsquo;s meetings in districts in good numbers to secure the release of loans, ration cards, pattas or ventilate grievances. Amazingly, the Janmabhoomi programme did not draw as many people to rush to the then Chief Minister as the Rachcha Banda did. However, unlike Rachcha Banda, Janmabhoomi attracted nation-wide attention and gained immense coverage mainly because of Mr Naidu&rsquo;s publicity strategy.
The then Chief Minster Chandrababu Naidu hit the international headlines. There was so much excitement in his rule.
This was perhaps because of the fact that private companies were employed to design his publicity drive. Earth and heaven were moved to show the TDP government in bright light.
Perhaps no other government in the country had spent As much money that was spent during Mr Naidu&rsquo;s tenure on publicity.
Contrasted to the sum the TDP chose to spend towards publicity, the Congress launched many welfare programmes which became quite popular on their own, based purely on public acceptance.
However, If only proper coverage was affected, things may have been different for the Congress on the National and international stage.
Of all, the fee reimbursement was topper with the underprivileged class students pursuing higher studies. Arogyasri too with a vans picking up the patients offered super-speciality service to the poor.
Whereas the successive congress governments under YSR, Rosaiah and Kiran Kumar Reddy did their part well yet their &lsquo;coverage&rsquo; was insufficient which has been attributed to the &lsquo;non-cooperation&rsquo; of the information department or &lsquo;negligence&rsquo; of the successive chief ministers who did not employ the technique which Mr Naidu made use of.
On the other hand, YSR went down in the history for &lsquo;gagging&rsquo; the press for having issued a controversial &lsquo;GO&rsquo; which was withdrawn overnight.
The stress that was laid on publicity by Mr Naidu had been missing since YSR takeover who had been accused of having had developed an aversion for the media.
That apart, the accusing finger points out at Information Commissioner and another key officer who lacked the requisite drive.
Even the budget allotment today is not as much as it should be.
That was precisely the reason behind the &lsquo;inactive&rsquo; role of key officers in the Information Department as earlier during TDP time the same Information Wing had at its disposal budget in hundreds of crores.
Just the organising of the Rachcha Banda programme alone claimed an expenditure of Rs 300 crore but in terms of publicity the scheme did not receive suitable coverage in respect of its &lsquo;reach out&rsquo; in the remote corners.
Another flag ship programme - Jalayagnam - which claimed Rs 50,000 crore so far did not receive as much attention as it should have gained. Here too the department failed.
Strangely the same Information Wing which served Mr Naidu became quite &lsquo;dull&rsquo; for the reason that their hands were tied up with no funds at their disposal.
To quote, a small newspaper claimed Rs 40 lakh towards its advertisement for government Ads under the then Information and Public Relations chief Ramana Chary.
The issue was opposed by the then leading newspapesr for promoting the interests of a small paper by sanctioning such a huge sum. That was Mr Naidu&rsquo;s style of disposal for publicity.
At a time when the opposition was jointly speaking against the welfare schemes etc, the department was doing nothing to counter their charges which proved detrimental to the interests of the government who left no stone unturned to implement poor schemes since day one in office.
In the absence of a suitable &lsquo;counter&rsquo; to what the opposition claimed, the public was bound to believe the version as projected by the opposition. &nbsp;Opposition to the appointment of N Kiran Kumar Reddy as the Chief Minister continues today, with he being accused of not continuing the welfare schemes launched by the late YSR.
As a young Chief Minister, he also put in his mettle to prove his worth. Still he lags behind mainly because of inappropriate exposure to his execution of government sponsored programmes during 100 days recently.

Is Kiran a victim of lacklustre publicity?

Tapsee Pannu, the toast of Tollywood is now dreaming high on her Bollywood debut. The Ludhiana girl became hot property in South with offers in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam films. In fact, she has been quite busy ever since she had a spicy debut in the hands of K. Raghavendra Rao with &lsquo;Jhummandi Nadam.&rsquo;
While speculations are running volatile that Tapsee is refusing all the South offers for her Bollywood film, director David Dhawan roped her in heroine role for the remake of 1981&rsquo;s comedy hit &lsquo;Chasme Badoor.&rsquo; She is extremely delighted for debuting in Bollywood and that too playing the role essayed by all time great actresses Deepti Naval in original version.

Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: What's BehindSudhakar Reddy, Muralidhar Goud's Pallaburusu, directed by Uday Chauhan released on 14 Aug 2026. With Annapurna Studios getting associated with the project, interest levels increased. Let us find out what Pallaburusu offered to movie lovers.Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Story ReviewPallaburusu's story revolves around the happenings in the life of an aged father and how he reacts when he thinks that his son neglected and insulted him. Shambhu (Kethiri Sudhakar Reddy) gets disheartened as his son Tirupathi (Muralidhar Goud) for not buying him Pallaburusu( Tooth Brush) apart from insulting him on various occasions.Where this leads to, how Shambhu shocks Tirupathi, and what roles Ravi (Prajwal Yadma), Swetha (Gomathi Reddy), Kavitha, Rekha play form the rest of the developments.Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewKethiri Sudhakar Reddy virtually lived in the role. He looked jovial at times and showed his emotions and feelings when neglected by his son. The father-son bonding and conflict is elevated with his performance and natural expressions. Muralidhar Goud complimented him, and the scenes involving both of them helped carry the film forward with intensity levels intact.Prajwal Yadma and Gomathy did not get much scope to perform. They got inconsequential roles, and they tried their best to entertain with their performances.Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewPallaburusu story is penned by Uday Chauhan. He came up with a simple story to highlight the bonding between the children and parents and how the relations change in property disputes. One gets a feeling that he drew inspiration from the hit film Balagam. The narration in the first half flows in a neat and decent manner and sets the stage for the second half. The repetitive scenes in the second half diluted the intensity levels of the first half. However, the pre-climax and climax scenes bring the interest levels back. The screenplay turned out to be decent, and the direction is to the point.The music for Pawan CH is attractive and appealing. The songs are situational and are shot well. While one song is emotional, the other two songs are foot-tapping. His background music is in sync with the story. Vinod Bangari's cinematography is quite good. He showed the rural atmosphere in Telangana in a natural and realistic manner. Srujan Adusumilli's editing could have been far better as there are many repetitive scenes that dragged the pace of the narration. Dialogues are natural and hard-hitting. Production values are decent.Pallaburusu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e243c8363bbcc91d1475a5c23e19813ec">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="e688f7ce94fe211a4e098636e8dee19a0">Music</li><li data-list-item-id="eb67959d00143b170999ebb6da3152928">Cinematography</li></ul>Pallaburusu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ea4b9de0f99f6f789e9a1d1a21240c729">Dragged Narration</li><li data-list-item-id="e4eefd4e4f26bbbfbd112f43c49183daa">Lack of Conflict</li><li data-list-item-id="e09960c6e404ebdd053ff476ea73b3525">Predictable Plot</li></ul>Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Pallaburusu promises a lot but fails to deliver. Muralidhar Goud and Sudhakar Reddy comes with spirited performances and the director Uday Chauhan comes with simple story with interesting point. He tried to send a message to society in an entertaining manner but fails to connect chords with the viewers completely as the conflict point turns out to be weak.Uday Chauhan chose a simple point and tried to drive home an important message on how technology impacting the lives of people and children neglecting their parents in the old age. He takes the viewers into the story at the start itself but from then on failed to drive home the point in a convincing manner. The Ravi , Swetha love track and the father-daughter marriage episodes ends up testing the patience of the viewers.The court drama and the land dispute in the second half is shown in an illogical and silly manner. The point as to why son is hating his father is not shown in an elaborate manner and the father son bonding is not elevated properly except in the climax.A more racy screenplay, more intense and entertaining script would have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 1.75 rating for Pallaburusu.

Makutam(2026) Movie: What's BehindKollywood Star Vishal is known for his high octane action entertainers. He is coming with Magudam which is releasing in Telugu as Makutam on 14 Aug 2026. The film marks Vishal's debut as a director. Let us see what Vishal offered to movie lovers with Makutam.Makutam(2026) Movie: Story ReviewMakutam story is all about a &nbsp;medical representative and the shocking happenings in his life and the reason behind them. A honest medical representative, Krupakar ( Vishal) , finally realises his dream of owning a car. &nbsp;However, his holiday outing with his wife Jamuna( Dushara Vijayan) and children in his car leads to shocking developments.What are those shocking developments, how it is connected to Linga (Vishal), Annapurna (Anjali), Naga( Ajay), Jana ( John Vijay), Martin ,Lala, Pandu ( Jayaprakash ) and others form the rest of developments.Makutam(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVishal is ok in his role. The role is tailormade for him and he performed accordingly. Vishal also played the father role and his look and makeup looked odd on the screen. He should have cast another actor in the role.Dushara Vijayan is fine in her role. Anjali did not look good on the screen and she delivered dialogues at the top of her voice. John Vijay is ok in his role. Jaya Prakash made his presence felt. Others like &nbsp;Ajay, Vamsi Krishna, Abu Salim, Arjai, Jhansi, Padam Kumar, Sabhumon performed according to their roles.Makutam(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMakutam story is penned by Ravi Arasu. The film marked the debut of Vishal as the director. Vishal tried to entertain masses with commercial elements revolving around the import of Chinese auto parts. However, Vishal included more family drama, action elements instead of highlighting the main topic.All the scenes right from the first scene turned routine, monotonous and predictable. Many expected things to change after Vishal who was seen as a honest and innocent medical representive gets trageted. But nothing of that sorts happen and the entry of other Vishal character is expected to change the proceedings at least in the second half. However, the narration nosedives in the second half to a new low. The scenes featuring Vishal, Dushara Vijayan lack the emotional connect and looks mundane and the so called comedy with Thambi Ramaiah doesn't work.Things doesn't change in the second half and the so called flashback episode which is expected to take the film to next level is dragged to the core testing the patience of the viewers. The chemistry between Vishal and Anjali looked odd on screen and to the irritation of viewers, the pre climax and climax is dragged to the next level leaving people wonder when the film will end. The climax fight looked silly and illogical leaving all shocked. The story is outdated and screenplay and direction didnot inspire any confidence.GV. Prakash Kumar's music offered nothing new. The tunes turned below average. His background music fared no better. At times it turned out to be loud. The cinematography of Richard M Nathan is just average. Dialogues are pretty ordinary. Production values are ok Makutam Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e2c7ae3808f3c1f410bed131a98326c5e">None</li></ul>Makutam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0c7f70282766b62277359ce93b9421e9">Everything</li></ul>Makutam(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Makutam turns out to be below-average mass entertainer. Vishal completely failed as the director and much to the disappointment of all, he even failed as an actor. At times he overacted and other times he underperformed and looked disconnected completely. No amount of changes to the script and screenplay would have changed the final result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Makutam.

Artists ReviewAnush Thorat performed well as an innocent boy whose life changes completely following the turn of events. He showed good expressions and emotions and endeared to all with his performance. Vasavi Ganeshan played the female role and her mannerisms, expressions and dialogue delivery connected chords with all the youth. She stole the show with her cute looks . She not only came up with energetic screen presence but also emoted well during the touching scenes.Prani Reddy did well in the role of Vasavi's cousin. Govardhan Reddy is good in the role of Vasavi's father. He emoted well, showing good expressions seeing his mother in his daughter. Ramesh Nakirenti and Sunitha Manohar are good in the roles of the parents of Anush Thorat. Anji Valguman performed well in an important role.Husharu Pittalu(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewHusharu Pittalu story is penned by Bikshu Yadav. He came up with a youthful romantic entertainer with a message to the youngsters and also elders. In order to connect chords with both these divergent sections, he loaded the first half with youthful elements and the second half with emotional elements trying to drive home the message.Though there are many bold scenes and dialogues in the first half, it connects chords with the youngsters as it was shown in an entertaining manner loaded with humorous elements. The interval block sets the stage for the second half. While the screenplay is racy and narration is quite fast paced in the first half, the second half narration slides down with monotonous elements. The preachy dialogues and repetitive scenes put off viewers. Finally the movie ends in a predictable manner.The music of Charan Arjun is good. The title song already became a chartbuster and it is choreographed in a good way on the screen. His background music is in sync with the story. Marthand K Venkatesh's editing is quite good in the first half. The pace in the second half dips due to repetitive scenes and intense emotions. He could have done away with the repetitive scenes. The cinematography of Rudra Sai is good. He showed the rural village atmosphere in a natural and rustic manner. Dialogues connect to youth in the first half and in the second half they become preachy and may put off a few of them. Production values are good.Husharu Pittalu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eaab4a7a9e69c99fad177be7679382d4f">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="ec182423bbc4828372cd61b4e74ee9604">Message</li></ul>Husharu Pittalu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e913fb5f4c84e11e39b49e0469f2264c2">Routine Shades</li><li data-list-item-id="e44d6a80f9a4838f881111f6615e26a29">Bold scenes involving minors</li></ul>Husharu Pittalu(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Husharu Pittalur turns out to be a decent, predictable youthful entertainer. Anush Thorat and Vasavi Ganeshan came up with spirited performances and director Bikshu Yadav starts in an entertaining way with youthful elements connecting chords with genex viewers ending the first half quite on a high note. When everyone expected a more entertaining second half, he turned preachy with monotonous elements and this slowed the pace of the narration and impacted the final output. The overdoing of bold scenes involving minors with just a statutory warning that it is a crime under POCSO act will put off right thinking people. Many will be under the impression that the makers included these scenes to attract genex viewers and then wash off their hands with a message in the climax. A little finetuning of the script, and attention to the second half would have added more power to the final output. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Husharu Pittalu.

But at times, she looked odd on the screen especially in the close shots.Ulka Gupta performed well in her role. She played the pivotal character and emoted well on the screen.

The entire first half is narrated in an interesting manner maintaining the suspense and unraveling the twists in an apt manner. The first half narration is decent and the screenplay is intact and racy keeping the interest levels of the viewers quite high setting the tone for the second half.However, MS.Raju loses plot in the second half with convenient screenplay. Instead of the protagonist unraveling the mystery of Agadha, other characters reveal everything to her, leaving nothing for her to do, thus diluting the over all impact. To the top of it, repetitive scenes impacted the flow of the narration. However, he generates interest in the runup to the climax before ending it in a decent manner.Nani Chamidisetty with his cinematography created the desired impact. He showed the scenes in an impactful manner using the color combinations and camera angles perfectly. The VFX and Graphics are of good quality. They could have however taken more care regarding the graphics. Art department could have done a better job as artificiality crept in the sets. The music of &nbsp;Rakesh Venkatapuram is good. He made a powerful impact with his background score elevating the scenes to the next level. Editing of Junaid Siddique is good in the first half but could have been far better in the second half.

MS.Raju got good performances from the cast and crew. He started the narration in an interesting manner exciting all the viewers. He manages to keep the interest levels quite high unraveling the mystery one by one. However with the main mystery revealed in the interval block, he loses plot in the second half. This resulted in routine elements creeping in diluting the interest levels. The pre climax and climax is ok and the film ends on a decent note. A little finetuning of the script, doing away with convenient screenplay and adding more twists and turns, adding more scary and horror elements would have added value to the final outcome. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Agadha.&nbsp;

She delivered dialogues as per the situation. Muralidhar Goud and others performed according to their roles.KJQ (King Jackie Queen) Movie: Technicians ReviewKJQ story is penned by KK (Krishna Kumar). He came up with a simple but interesting story where he tried to explore the feelings and change of behavioral pattern among humans born in different situations. He establishes three characters King, Jackie and Queen in an interesting and exciting manner.However he fails to explore them deeply by elevating their character arcs. He touched only at the top of them and one gets a feeling that the job was only half done. While the first half established the characters of various people, second half tried to show them when they reach their peaks. There are few interesting scenes but with better screenplay, things would have become more interesting.The cinematography of Nagesh Banell is good.

Director KK got the optimum from the cast and crew and Dheekshith Shetty, Yukthi Thareja, Sashi Odela came up with spirited performances. Director KK seems to have drawn inspiration from Maniratnam's classic Thalapathi and the characters more or less resembled the same.

She elevated the scenes with her screen presence. Kasturi Raja impressed especially in the climax. Krish Dhayal who played the role of police officer did well. However his role could have been even more powerful.DC(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDC story is penned by Arun Matheswaran. He came up with a simple story and blended it with action and romantic elements. Many expects Lokesh Kanagaraj to debut with an action entertainer. But the story had completely different blend of police atrocities and a commoner's fight against them. Arun Matheswaran did not deviate from the subject and even drag the romantic and love tracks with unnecessary lip locks, hugs and songs.Though even few romantic scenes slowed the pace of the film, he ensured that he quicky shifted to action genre to keep viewers interest glued. The first half ends on a decent note with the cat and mouse game between the cops and the rebels. The second half continues in the same way with the introduction of new characters and the pre climax connects chords with all with the film finally ending on a predictable note. The predictability in the story, illogical scenes and few boring elements undid all the hard work.The cinematography of Mukesh is good. He showed the period look in the story in a appealing and relatable manner. Anirudh Ravichander's tunes for the songs are just ok. The songs had a montage touch. But he elevated the scenes with his unique and terrific background score. He showed variety in the background music. He showed his creativity by scoring background in a poetic manner. Prasanna.

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

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.

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.

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. His editing is tight for most of the first half but he lost focus in the second half including many unnecessary and repetitive scenes.The background music of Sinjith Yerramilli created a good impact and elevated the scenes to the next level taking viewers into the narration keeping the interest levels intact. The songs however acted as the speed brakers. Dialogues are natural and realistic and at times thought provoking. Production values are good.Newton 3rd Law Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e1fb0fcbb2c1086e133fadcfc60027542">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="e69662aad939f2c7993e37ca0dd29490a">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="ecaa509e1b3102d9243f5c80e72225aa1">Cinematography</li></ul>Newton 3rd Law Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e3dc194135b3cc997c1963b02c79f7255">Repetitive Scenes</li><li data-list-item-id="eecc1a66bcdc7d4abc06fb18622abb7e3">Confusing Screenplay</li></ul>Newton 3rd Law(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Newtons 3rd Law turns out to be a decent investigative thriller. 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.

&nbsp; Srinivasa Mangapuram What's BehindJai Krishna, Raha Thadani's Srinivasa Mangapuram, directed by Ajay Bhupathi of RX 100 fame released on 30 July 2026. The film generated interest as it marks the debut of superstar Krishna's grandson, Ramesh Babu's son, and Mahesh Babu's nephew Jai Krishna, and Bollywood beauty Raveena Tandon's daughter Rasha Thadani's entry into Tollywood. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by Amazon Prime. 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;
