&nbsp;After taking AI-native storytelling from television towards theatrical cinema, Galleri5 brings filmmakers and technology leaders together in Hyderabad to build the next generation of filmmaking technology&nbsp;At NXTinAI, Galleri5 AI Studio, part of Collective Artists Network, brought together filmmakers, producers, creators and technology leaders at Park Hyatt Hyderabad to demonstrate the technology being built to take AI from experimentation into professional, long-form and theatrical production. AI-generated video has largely lived on phones, social feeds and experimental projects. Galleri5 believes its next screen is the biggest one: the cinema screen and has already begun making that transition. Its AI technology stack powered Mahabharat: Ek Dharmayudh for Star Plus and JioHotstar, taking AI-native storytelling into mainstream television. It is now powering Chiranjeevi Hanuman with Star Studio18, a full-length AI feature being developed for theatrical release, with a teaser from the film already having played on cinema screens.NXTinAI marks the next stage of that journey: building the technology required to make AI work at the scale, quality and ambition of cinema. The event showcased capabilities spanning 4K cinematic output, AI-powered VFX, AI actors and avatars, consistent characters and worlds, live-action-to-AI workflows, agentic filmmaking and production pipelines for long-form entertainment. Going beyond individual AI models or isolated demonstrations, the focus was on what happens when these technologies become part of the filmmaking process, taking a project from idea and script through visual development, character creation, shot design, VFX and post-production, towards the cinema screen.Hyderabad was a deliberate choice. The city brings together one of India’s largest filmmaking ecosystems with one of its strongest technology communities. Galleri5’s ambition is to bring those two worlds closer and build technology that can be used by the wider creative industry.Vijay Subramaniam, Founder &amp; Group CEO, Collective Artists Network, said, “Every generation of storytellers gets a new technology that changes what they can imagine and create. We believe AI is one of those shifts. Our bet on Galleri5 was never about making AI content for the internet. It was about what happens when this technology moves into television, films and ultimately into bigger screens and a lower barrier to entry for creators. India has the talent, stories and filmmaking culture to build and lead this next chapter of entertainment technology.”Rahul Regulapati, Founder &amp; CEO, Galleri5 and Partner at Collective Artists Network, said, “AI is moving into theatrical filmmaking. We have already taken AI-native storytelling to television and AI film work to cinema screens. The next challenge is building the technology to make full-length cinematic production possible at scale. 4K, VFX, consistent characters, AI actors and agentic production are all pieces of that problem. NXTinAI brings those pieces together and shows what happens when AI moves from experimentation into real production. We believe a new way of making movies is beginning, and we want India to be at the centre of it.”A central part of NXTinAI was the Galleri5 AI Experience Centre, where filmmakers and creators could work directly with the technology across visual development, character creation, AI VFX, avatars, cinematic video and filmmaking workflows. Galleri5’s technology is being built from real production. The challenges encountered while working across television, films, advertising and long-form entertainment feed directly into the development of new workflows and tools within Galleri5 AI Studio. The result is technology designed not simply to generate content, but to solve the complex creative and production problems involved in making it.Create with Galleri5 AI Studio : https://g5.video/About Galleri5 Galleri5 AI Studio is an AI-native cinematic technology platform built for professional storytelling and production.

&nbsp;&nbsp; Sree Vishnu’s Comrade Kalyan and Hanuman Ansh’s Telugu dubbed version arrived in theatres on October 9, 2026, but both films had different box office challenges. Comrade Kalyan opened to mixed reviews, while Hanuman Ansh struggled to attract Telugu audiences despite the phenomenal success of its original Hindi version.According to early trade reports, Comrade Kalyan collected around ₹4 crore in worldwide gross on its opening day, while Hanuman Ansh earned approximately ₹60 lakh from its Telugu version. The figures indicate a clear opening day advantage for Sree Vishnu’s comedy entertainer.Directed by Janakiram Marella, Comrade Kalyan features Sree Vishnu, Mahima Nambiar, Radhika Sarathkumar, Shine Tom Chacko and Vennela Kishore. Its story combines romance, comedy and a Naxal backdrop. Despite a mixed audience response, the film registered a better opening than Sree Vishnu’s previous release, Mrityunjaya, according to the supplied trade report.Hanuman Ansh, directed by Vishal Chaturvedi and starring Shobhinav Satya as Neem Karoli Baba, has already amassed more than ₹428 crore worldwide through its Hindi release. However, its Telugu version reportedly collected just ₹60 lakh net on day one, reflecting the challenge of attracting audiences who may have already watched the original.Dasara holidays could give both films an opportunity to improve their collections. Comrade Kalyan needs stronger word of mouth to sustain its theatrical run, while Hanuman Ansh will depend on renewed interest among Telugu speaking audiences. Their weekend performance should offer a clearer picture of their box office prospects. &nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;Elon Musk’s Starlink ambitions in India have sparked fresh debate after the billionaire questioned the delays surrounding the satellite internet service’s commercial launch. Musk suggested that powerful business interests could be influencing the process and raised questions about Mukesh Ambani’s role in India’s telecom landscape, bringing the spotlight back to competition between global technology companies and domestic telecom giants.The controversy comes as India prepares for greater competition in satellite-based internet services. Starlink has been working to enter the Indian market, where Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel already have a strong presence. However, satellite internet operators must meet government licensing, spectrum, security and other regulatory requirements before rolling out commercial services across the country.Actor and Rajya Sabha MP Kamal Haasan has entered the discussion, emphasising that neither Indian nor foreign billionaires should determine the country’s policy decisions. His position centres on fair competition, consumer interests and the need to make satellite internet affordable, particularly for people living in remote and underserved regions where conventional broadband connectivity remains limited.Kamal Haasan’s remarks also bring attention to India’s wider digital connectivity goals, including the implementation of the BharatNet programme. While Starlink’s potential entry could expand internet access in difficult to reach areas, questions remain over pricing, infrastructure, national security and regulatory oversight. The debate ultimately highlights the challenge of encouraging private investment while ensuring that internet access remains accessible and that policy decisions serve the public interest. - Veda

&nbsp;&nbsp; Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s Ranabaali is facing a slow start at the USA box office, with premiere advance bookings falling well behind the actor’s previous release, Kingdom. Despite the buzz surrounding the period action drama, overseas pre sales have not picked up as expected, raising questions about its opening prospects ahead of the October 16 release.The film’s initial advance booking numbers remain modest compared to Vijay’s previous box office outings. Reports on October 8 put USA premiere pre-sales at approximately $13,125 from 743 tickets across 150 locations. By comparison, Kingdom recorded around $480,000 in final USA premiere pre &nbsp;sales, leaving Ranabaali with considerable ground to cover before its theatrical debut.Vijay had reportedly expressed confidence that Ranabaali’s advance bookings would improve after the trailer launch. However, the latest available figures suggest that the expected surge has yet to materialise. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film explores Rayalaseema folklore and resistance during the Madras famine of 1876–78, with Rashmika Mandanna and Arnold Vosloo playing key roles.In a bid to attract more moviegoers, the US distributor has opted to make premiere day passes available, hoping the move will encourage audiences to book tickets and improve theatre occupancy. With the release approaching and Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 arriving in the same festive window, competition for overseas audiences could be intense. Whether Ranabaali gains momentum in its final days remains to be seen. - Veda &nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp; As SS Rajamouli celebrates his birthday, Indian cinema has every reason to honour a filmmaker who has consistently challenged conventions and expanded the possibilities of storytelling. Beginning his directorial journey with Student No. 1 on September 27, 2001, Rajamouli has spent 25 years transforming ambitious ideas into unforgettable cinematic experiences. His journey reflects an extraordinary understanding of audience expectations, emotional storytelling and technical innovation, establishing him as one of Indian cinema's most influential directors.Long before becoming a celebrated film director, Rajamouli honed his storytelling instincts through television. Born into a family deeply rooted in filmmaking, with his father, V. Vijayendra Prasad, emerging as a successful screenwriter, Rajamouli grew up surrounded by stories and creative discussions. His early professional experience included directing the Telugu television serial Shantinivasam for ETV. Television taught him the importance of narrative construction, character development, dramatic pacing and sustaining audience interest across episodes. These formative experiences helped him understand the practical demands of production and the discipline required to translate ideas into compelling visual narratives. On September 27, 2001, he made his feature film directorial debut with Student No. 1, starring N. T. Rama Rao Jr., beginning a remarkable journey that would eventually take Telugu cinema to international audiences.Happy Birthday SS Rajamouli: The Mastermind Who Redefined Indian Commercial CinemaRajamouli's greatest strength lies in balancing commercial entertainment with compelling storytelling. From Simhadri and Chatrapathi to Vikramarkudu and Yamadonga, he developed a distinctive filmmaking style combining powerful hero elevations, emotional conflicts, memorable characters and meticulously designed action sequences. Rather than abandoning familiar commercial elements, he refined them through stronger narratives, imaginative staging and technical excellence. His films demonstrate how mainstream entertainment can be ambitious, emotionally engaging and visually compelling without losing its connection with ordinary audiences.With Magadheera, Rajamouli significantly expanded the scale of Telugu filmmaking, presenting a sweeping reincarnation drama that combined historical grandeur, romance and spectacular action. However, his versatility became equally evident with Maryada Ramanna, which relied on suspense, humour and character driven storytelling rather than extravagant spectacle. Eega further demonstrated his willingness to embrace unconventional ideas, building an emotionally engaging revenge drama around a housefly. These films established that Rajamouli's greatest strength was not merely mounting grand spectacles, but making audiences emotionally invest in stories that might initially appear difficult to translate into mainstream entertainment.The Baahubali franchise became a defining milestone in Rajamouli's career and a turning point for the wider Indian film industry. With its expansive fictional kingdom, intricate family conflicts, memorable characters, elaborate production design and ambitious visual effects, the two part saga attracted audiences far beyond Telugu speaking territories. Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion demonstrated the commercial potential of an Indian epic mounted on an unprecedented scale. More importantly, their success encouraged filmmakers, producers and distributors to think beyond traditional linguistic markets and recognise the possibilities of nationwide releases. Rajamouli proved that a story rooted in Indian culture could become a major cinematic event across the country.He carried that ambition further with RRR, transforming a fictionalised historical action drama into an international cultural phenomenon. Its spectacular action, emotional friendship, larger than life heroism and distinctly Indian sensibilities connected with audiences worldwide. The song Naatu Naatu, composed by MM Keeravaani, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, bringing unprecedented international attention to Telugu cinema. The film also earned a Golden Globe in the same category. These achievements reinforced Rajamouli's belief that Indian filmmakers need not dilute their cultural identity to appeal to global audiences. His success has helped establish Telugu cinema as an increasingly influential force in international conversations about Indian filmmaking.As Rajamouli looks ahead to Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu alongside Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran, expectations are once again exceptionally high. The ambitious project promises to explore adventure, mythology, time travel elements and large scale visual storytelling, reflecting the director's continuing desire to venture into uncharted cinematic territory. Across 25 years, Rajamouli has evolved from a promising television professional and Telugu filmmaker into a globally recognised director whose influence extends beyond box office records and awards. His legacy lies in making commercial cinema a vehicle for imagination, emotion and cultural pride. On his birthday, CineJosh.com wishes the master storyteller a wonderful year ahead and hopes he continues breaking boundaries, inspiring generations of filmmakers and bringing greater recognition to Telugu and Indian cinema across the world. - Veda

Sai Abhyankar has quickly become one of South Indian cinema’s most exciting young music composers, thanks to viral independent hits such as Katchi Sera, Aasa Kooda and Pavazha Malli. His work in films including Dude and Suriya’s Karuppu has further raised his profile, leaving fans curious about his next Telugu projects.The reported reason for his absence from new Telugu film announcements is his association with Raaka, Atlee’s ambitious collaboration with Allu Arjun. According to industry reports, Sai has agreed not to sign another Telugu film until Raaka reaches theatres. The reported condition has not been officially confirmed by the makers.Produced by Sun Pictures, Raaka also stars Deepika Padukone and is being mounted on a grand scale, with international technicians reportedly involved. The film marks Sai’s Telugu debut as a music composer. Atlee has praised the young musician’s talent and revealed that Sai had not signed another film when he agreed to work on Raaka.An exclusivity clause would give Sai the opportunity to concentrate on Raaka, but it could also mean fewer Telugu film announcements until the project progresses further. He continues to have projects in other industries, so the reported restriction appears to concern Telugu films rather than his entire career. For now, audiences are waiting to hear what he brings to Allu Arjun and Atlee’s highly anticipated film. - Veda&nbsp;

Rumours that the much awaited Rajinikanth–Kamal Haasan multistarrer KHxRK has been shelved have disappointed fans, but there is no official confirmation that the project has been cancelled. Directed by Jailer fame Nelson Dilipkumar, the film was officially unveiled by Red Giant Movies in February 2026, creating enormous excitement.The reunion is particularly special because the two Tamil cinema legends are returning together after decades. The promotional glimpse, featuring their contrasting styles and Anirudh Ravichander’s retro flavoured music, received an enthusiastic response. Cinematographer Rajiv Menon and editor R. Nirmal are also part of the announced technical team.Scheduling appears to be a major factor behind the uncertainty. Kamal Haasan indicated in March that filming would begin after the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, while Rajinikanth reportedly said in April that the project was expected to go on floors in August. However, the reported start date alone does not establish whether production has begun or been delayed.Speculation about budget constraints, production changes and scheduling conflicts has fuelled claims that the film may be on hold. Neither Nelson nor the lead actors have officially announced its cancellation in the reports reviewed. Until Red Giant Movies or the team provides a fresh update, KHxRK’s status remains uncertain rather than confirmed as shelved. - Veda &nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp; The Telangana High Court has stayed the proposed October 11, 2026, elections to the Telugu Film and TV Dancers and Dance Directors Association following a legal challenge by its president, V.V. Sumalatha Devi. The court also suspended a trial court order that had postponed consideration of her plea until after the scheduled polls.The dispute began after the Telugu Film Industry Employees Federation decided to dissolve the association on September 23 and announced fresh elections the next day. Sumalatha Devi challenged the move, arguing that the existing executive committee’s tenure remains valid until December 6, 2027, and sought legal protection against the proposed election process.Sumalatha Devi filed an interim application on September 28, seeking an injunction against the elections. However, the trial court scheduled the hearing for November 3, prompting her to approach the High Court through Civil Revision Petition No. 3123 of 2026. The elections were due to take place weeks before the scheduled hearing.On October 8, Justice M.B. Lakshmi questioned why the trial court had deferred the matter until after the election date without explaining its decision on interim relief. The High Court suspended the docket order and restrained the elections until the respondent appears and presents its case or until further orders. Notices, including personal notice, were directed to be issued to the Federation, and the matter was listed for October 30. The association’s dissolution, committee tenure and election notification remain subject to further court proceedings. - Veda

As we say in Telugu, &lsquo;Okka Methuku Chaalu&hellip;Annam Udikindo&hellip;&rsquo; Same applies for Ramcahran most effectively in Tollywood. Banging the 80 years of industry records just with his second film &lsquo;Magadheera,&rsquo; hero Ramcharan has become the top most contender for Number One position in Tollywood. Nevertheless failure of &lsquo;Orange&rsquo; and shelving of &lsquo;Merupu&rsquo; made him go into a shadowed phase where public talked very less about Cherry.
With &lsquo;Racha&rsquo; shaping up very well in the hands of Sampat Nandi and &lsquo;Dookudu&rsquo; cum &lsquo;Oosaravelli&rsquo; having a great show at BO, once again Ramcharan&rsquo;s name is coming into limelight. Yet, trade pundits opine that Mega Power Star will remain only as an underdog in BO race until he delivers one more hit of the scale of &lsquo;Magadheera.&rsquo; Let us see, where will Charan&rsquo;s image reach after the release &lsquo;Racha&rsquo;?

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.

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.

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.

Hanuman Ansh Review

Comrade Kalyan(2026) Movie: What's BehindSree Vishnu has built a reputation for entertaining audiences with his natural comic timing and films that explore different genres. He now arrives with Comrade Kalyan, a comedy entertainer set against the backdrop of Naxal activity in the 1990s. Directed by Janakiram Marella and presented by Kona Venkat, the film attempts to mix romance, comedy and serious situations. Let us see how far Sree Vishnu's latest outing succeeds in entertaining audiences.Comrade Kalyan(2026) Movie: Story ReviewKalyan (Sree Vishnu) runs a theatre on lease in a village and has a special interest in screening films featuring R. Narayana Murthy. His life takes a turn when he falls in love with Sitara (Mahima Nambiar), a young woman from Odisha. Just as he prepares to express his feelings, an unexpected development pushes him into a difficult situation, forcing him to take a decision that changes his life.The story connects Kalyan's personal troubles with his mother Sarasathamma (Radhika Sarathkumar), Sitara's family and the conflict involving the police and Naxal groups. An IPS officer, George Kutti (Shine Tom Chacko), and several other characters become part of the unfolding drama. How Kalyan gets caught up in these developments and what follows form the rest of the story.Comrade Kalyan(2026) Movie: Artists' PerformancesSree Vishnu does his best to keep the film engaging with his familiar comic timing. He manages to generate laughs in a few sequences, but the character itself does not offer much novelty. The writing limits his performance, leaving him with little opportunity to explore different shades of the role.Mahima Nambiar gets limited scope despite playing a key character in the story. Satya provides some entertaining moments, although his comedy does not work consistently. Sudarshan also contributes to a few lighter sequences. Radhika Sarathkumar makes her presence felt, while Shine Tom Chacko gets a routine police officer role that does not fully utilise his abilities.The supporting cast includes Vennela Kishore, Brahmaji, Upendra Limaye, Sai Chand, Shatru, Srikanth Iyengar and others. Most of them play their parts adequately, but the writing gives several characters little room to make a lasting impression. Some comedy sequences also feel forced rather than naturally emerging from the situations.Comrade Kalyan(2026) Movie: Technicians' ReviewDirector Janakiram Marella chooses an interesting backdrop by bringing together village life, romance, comedy and Naxal activity. The idea offers scope for an entertaining story with a different flavour, but the execution remains uneven. The first half spends considerable time on romantic and comic episodes, many of which feel routine. The screenplay struggles to connect these scenes to the main conflict in a convincing manner.The second half offers opportunities to move into more serious territory, but the film continues to rely heavily on comedy. The shift between humour and drama does not always feel natural, and the emotional moments lack the impact needed to strengthen the story. A few sequences work, but the overall narration would have benefited from tighter writing and better pacing.Vijai Bulganin's music is decent, with a couple of songs working reasonably well on screen. The background score supports the proceedings without becoming a major highlight. Sai Sriram's cinematography captures the setting adequately, while the production values are satisfactory. Chota K Prasad's editing could have been sharper, as several scenes drag and affect the film's pace. The dialogues offer occasional laughs but rely too often on familiar double-meaning humour.Comrade Kalyan Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Sree Vishnu's comic timing</li><li>A few entertaining sequences</li><li>Some songs and decent production values</li></ul>Comrade Kalyan Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Routine story and screenplay</li><li>Uneven comedy</li><li>Weak emotional connect</li><li>Slow narration in several portions</li></ul>Comrade Kalyan(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisComrade Kalyan has a workable premise and a capable lead actor, but the film does not make the most of either. Sree Vishnu tries to carry the proceedings with his comic timing, and a few sequences provide entertainment. However, repetitive humour, weak characterisation and an uneven screenplay prevent the film from becoming a consistently engaging entertainer.The Naxal backdrop could have added weight to the story, but the narrative struggles to balance its serious elements with the comedy. Better writing and tighter editing might have made a significant difference. The film has enough moments to offer some entertainment, but it falls short of delivering a satisfying theatrical experience throughout.Considering its performances, occasional laughs and technical merits alongside its writing and pacing issues, CineJosh rates Comrade Kalyan 2.5/5.

&nbsp;Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: What's BehindSandalwood film Premada Oorelli, which turned out to be a successful outing in Kannada, is releasing in Telugu as Premane Oorilo. Let us see whether the film manages to connect with Telugu audiences.Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: Story ReviewPremane Oorilo revolves around relationships, love and the impact of people's mindsets and preconceived notions.Santhu aka Santosh (Shree Raam) has been focused on helping his father Naganna (Rangayana Raghu) with agriculture since childhood. Naganna has his own dreams about his son's marriage. The entry of village tomboy Vasantha (Ramika Shivu) and foreign-returned Rukmini (Thapaswini Poonacha) changes the situation.How Santosh handles the situation and where his relationships eventually lead form the crux of the story.Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewShree Raam is decent in his role and makes an impact in a few emotional scenes in the second half. Ramika Shivu is good as the tomboyish Vasantha and handles the emotional portions well. Her traditional look also brings a different shade to the character.Thapaswini Poonacha is fine as the foreign-returned girl and delivers a passable performance. Rangayana Raghu once again proves his experience and elevates several scenes with his performance. The actor playing the grandmother also does well, while the rest of the cast perform adequately.Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: Technical ReviewDirector Manoj Kumar comes up with a familiar triangular love story set against a village backdrop. The first half focuses on character introductions, village life, one-sided love and comedy before building towards the interval twist. However, the proceedings take time to reach the point.The second half shifts towards marriage, life after marriage, emotions and a flashback. Though some emotional sequences work, the narration becomes stretched in places. The flashback follows a somewhat old-school treatment, but it is handled reasonably well. The climax delivers the expected emotional impact.The songs composed by Sunaad Gowtham are soothing and melodious. The background score also adds value to the emotional scenes. Rajkanth SK's cinematography is one of the film's better aspects, beautifully capturing the village setting.Editing by Harshith Prabhu could have been tighter, as some scenes slow down the proceedings. The Telugu dubbing also suffers from lip-sync issues in places. Production values are decent and the dialogues work in a few scenes.Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Performances</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Music and BGM</li><li>Emotional sequences</li></ul> Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Slow narration</li><li>Predictable storyline</li><li>Stretched second half</li><li>Telugu dubbing issues</li></ul> Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisOverall, Premane Oorilo is a familiar emotional love story that works in parts. The predictable storyline and slow narration prevent it from becoming a compelling romantic drama, but the performances, village backdrop, music and a few emotional sequences give the film some engaging moments. The second half has better emotional impact despite the stretched treatment.Considering all these elements, CineJosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Premane Oorilo. &nbsp;

Anakapalli (2026) Movie: What's BehindVikram Sahidev and Sandhya Vasishta are coming before the audience with the rural action drama Anakapalli. Khagesh Tammineni has directed the film, while Trinadha Rao Nakkina provided the story and screenplay. Tarak Ponnappa appears in a crucial role. Let us see how the film fares.Anakapalli (2026) Movie: Story ReviewAnakapalli is set against a rural backdrop and revolves around Surya (Vikram Sahidev), a youngster whose life changes after entering a world dominated by local gangster Bullet (Tarak Ponnappa). Love, loyalty, family emotions and the gangster backdrop drive the narrative.The basic conflict has enough scope for an engaging rural action drama, but the screenplay does not extract the full potential from the setup. Several developments are predictable, and the narration takes considerable time to reach the important moments.Anakapalli (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVikram Sahidev puts in a sincere performance and handles the emotional portions reasonably well. He shows improvement in the action and serious sequences.Tarak Ponnappa is one of the better aspects of the film. His screen presence and intensity suit the gangster role, particularly in the confrontation scenes.Sandhya Vasishta gets a limited role and performs adequately. Indraja and the supporting cast are fine in their respective parts.Anakapalli (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewTrinadha Rao Nakkina's story uses a familiar rural action template. There are some effective emotional beats, but the screenplay lacks the sharpness required to make the drama consistently engaging.The film takes time to settle and several scenes feel stretched. The second half has a few emotional and action moments, but the predictable proceedings reduce their impact.Davzand's background score supports the intense portions, while the cinematography captures the rural atmosphere well. Editing should have been tighter, as the slow stretches affect the overall pace.Director Khagesh Tammineni succeeds in creating the required rustic setting and gets decent performances from the cast. However, the film needed a stronger screenplay, better pacing and more compelling conflict to leave a lasting impression.Anakapalli Movie: Highlights<ul><li>Rustic rural backdrop</li><li>Tarak Ponnappa's performance</li><li>Vikram Sahidev's sincere effort</li><li>A few emotional sequences</li><li>Background score</li></ul>Anakapalli Movie: Drawbacks<ul><li>Routine storyline</li><li>Predictable proceedings</li><li>Slow narration</li><li>Uneven screenplay</li><li>Lengthy scenes</li></ul>Anakapalli (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisOn the whole, Anakapalli has a promising rural backdrop and gets some support from the performances, particularly Vikram Sahidev and Tarak Ponnappa. However, the familiar storyline, predictable screenplay and slow narration prevent the film from turning its rustic setup into an engaging theatrical experience.The film works in patches, but the effective moments are not enough to overcome the weaknesses in the writing and pacing.

Where this leads to and what role Sam ( Faria Abdullah), Veerayya Reddy ( Sampath Raj), Vincent ( Shiv Pandit) form the interesting developments.Sigma(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSundeep Kishan got the role that offered nothing much to show variations. He got the similar kind of role which he played many times in his earlier films. He just passed through the motions with out offering nothing much. He did justice to his character as per the story.Faria Abdullah is just ok in her role. She couldn't be faulted because he role is badly written and got no chance to show her acting talent.The film stars numerous actors but all got limited roles. Raju Sundaram is ok with his role to entertain with his comic timing. Shiv Pandit as the villain can't up with blank expressions. Sampath Raj is fine in his role but he over acted at times.Sigma(2026) Movie: Technical ReviewSigma story is penned by Jason Vijay. The entire narration in the first half is just predictable. The first half highlighted the hero's problems and troubles and his scenes with the heroine. Even the other scenes featuring other actors ended up testing the patience of the viewers.The interval sequence though routine adds little interest. This sets the tone for the second half. Things hit the downhill in the second half with scenes coming in an artificial manner. The weak villains turn the film into a bore fest.The pre climax and climax adds no value. Everything looks silly and laughable. People heaven a sigh of relief when the film ends as they finally came out of the torture.Thaman's tunes didn't add value to the narration. All the songs turned extremely bad and failed to make an impact. His background music is a roller coaster ride. At times he elevated some scenes but most of the times he followed the same template.Krishan Vasanth's Cinematography is as per the narration. It is just in sync with the story. The editing of Praveen KL is decent to some extent in the first half but the second half left many unnecessary scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are just ok. Production values are below average.Sigma Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Nothing</li></ul>Sigma Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Story, Screenplay, Direction</li><li>Illogical Scenes</li><li>Weak Antagonists</li><li>Outdated Plot</li></ul>Sigma(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Sigma turns out to be failed formula.

His story turned out to be weak and Screenplay, Direction tuned below average. All the scenes and the entire narration became outdated and loaded with illogical sequences. Jason Vijay treated with beaten to death formula. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.25 rating for Sigma.&nbsp;

Thella Kaagitham(2026) Movie: What's BehindThella Kaagitham comes with a youthful story built around teenage love and the consequences of an unexpected pregnancy. Harsh Roshan and Nakshatra lead the film, while the makers attempt to balance a serious subject with comedy and romance. The premise has enough scope for an engaging drama, but the execution becomes the deciding factor.Thella Kaagitham(2026) Movie: &nbsp;ReviewRamu (Harsh Roshan) and Aasha (Nakshatra) are school-going youngsters who fall in love. Their relationship takes an unexpected turn after they make a mistake, leaving them to face consequences far beyond what they imagined. The film follows their struggle and the people around them as they deal with the situation.The basic idea has emotional potential, but the screenplay takes a familiar route. The first half has some lighter moments and moves reasonably well, while the second half becomes predictable and loses its grip.Thella Kaagitham(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewHarsh Roshan does well in the lead role and brings the required energy to the character. Nakshatra makes a decent debut and has good screen presence. Deepak Mali gets some entertaining moments, while the supporting cast performs adequately. Thella Kaagitham(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewVijay Bulganin's music and background score are among the better aspects of the film. K.V. Guhan's cinematography is neat and suits the setting. The editing could have been sharper, particularly in the second half.The bigger issue lies with the writing and direction. The subject demands stronger emotional handling, but several scenes feel stretched and predictable. The film needed a tighter screenplay to make its central conflict work.Thella Kaagitham Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Harsh Roshan's performance</li><li>Nakshatra's screen presence</li><li>Music and background score</li><li>Some entertaining first-half portions</li></ul>Thella Kaagitham Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable writing</li><li>Slow second half</li><li>Weak emotional impact</li><li>Stretched scenes</li></ul>Thella Kaagitham(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisThella Kaagitham starts with a subject that could have made for an engaging youthful drama, and the first half manages to keep things moving with comedy, romance and a few decent moments. Harsh Roshan is comfortable in his role, and Nakshatra makes a reasonably good impression in her debut.The problem is that the film never builds enough strength around its central conflict. Once the story moves into the more serious portions, the predictable writing becomes difficult to ignore. The emotional scenes do not land as strongly as intended, while the second half takes too long to reach its conclusion.There are a few positives in the performances and music, but they are not enough to overcome the screenplay issues. With a tighter narrative and more convincing emotional writing, the film could have made better use of its subject. CineJosh goes with a 2 rating for Thella Kaagitham.

He showed good emotions and expressions as a police officer and also as the person who gets attracted towards a girl after a long time.Dhasvika Kinthalli looked good on the screen. However she got limited dialogues and screen presence. Others performed according to their roles.Tatvam(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewThe story of Tatwam is written by Arjun Kola. He tried to attract all with the murder mystery in the backdrop of rural atmosphere. He starts the narration in an interesting way and sets the tone for the investigation. The first half sails of smoothly in a slow and steady manner before it ends with the interesting twist setting the stage for the second half.The second half proceeds in a predictable way with the pressure from the top officials regarding investigation and the protagonist trying to get green signal from the female lead for his love. The film finally ends with the interesting development.The story though turns decent but the narration treads in a slow manner like serial like presentation. This diluted the intensity levels of the already predictable narration. The screenplay is uni dimensional and offered nothing new. Direction turned out to be average.The music of Chaitan Bharadwaj is melodious. The songs are very few and we shot in an appealing manner. His background music is in sync with the story and added value to the narration. Bharat Patti with his cinematography showed the rural and village atmosphere in a realistic and natural way. The editing of Viplav Nyshadam could have been better as there are many scenes and elements that are repetitive and slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are ok and production values are average.Tatvam Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Interesting Plot</li><li>Music</li><li>Cinematography</li></ul>Tatvam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Slow Pace</li><li>Predictable Elements</li><li>Illogical Scenes</li></ul>Tatvam(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Tatvam turns out of be a routine murder mystery. The cast and crew tried their best to come up with a quality product. However, it seems the budget constraints prevented them from doing so. Director Arjun Kola came up with a murder mystery and tried to add spiritual touch but after couple of dialogues , he completely ignores it. He then tried to increase the interest levels with the investigation and blending it with romantic elements. Little fine-tuning of the script, including twists and turns would could make the film even better. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Tatvam.

Others like Ramachandran Durairaj, Soundararaja, Muthazhagi, Jeeva Subramanian, Muthukumar, Gajaraj performed according to their roles.Dorothy(2026) Movie: Technical ReviewDorothy story is penned by Karthik Subbaraj. He is known to come with hard hitting films and even Dorothy is nothing new. He chose to address the controversial topics in the story. He narrated the first half highlighting the friendship, bonding and emotions between the two friends. With his humor that is black, Karthik Subbaraj lived up to his reputation.He then makes a drastic shift in the second half. While he touched on the contentious issues in the second half, at times, he ended up confusing viewers. Through Dorothy, he did not deviate from one topic to another but chose to address in all the problems in a powerful, hardhitting and logical manner.He showed clarity of thought in his narration and this made a powerful impact on the viewers. He addressed casteism, violence, patriarchy, gender politics and discrimination. After highlighting the major problem or the controversial issue, he normalised it in the society. Though he did not glorify for the LGBT rights, he just normalised it.However for all the powerful elements, Karthik Subbaraj's narration turned out to be preachy. The story and narration irritate all sections of viewers not only conservatives but also those who fight for the rights of LGBTQIA+ allies.The cinematography of S Thirunavukkarasu is captivating. He showed the raw and rustic elements in a natural and impactful manner. He used the camera angles capturing the expressions of various actors to perfection. He also showed the fights in a chilling way. Music maestro Ilayaraja added value and soul to the film with his music and background score elevating the emotions. The editing of Ganesh Siva is fine and could have been better at times. Production values are grand.Dorothy Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Bold Topic</li><li>Performances</li></ul>Dorothy Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Preachy Elements</li><li>Controversial Subject</li></ul>Dorothy(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Dorothy turns out to be a bold take on contentious issues. Karthik Subbaraj should be complimented for touching a controversial topic. He is aided by the top performances from the cast and crew. However, Karthik Subbaraj after the interesting first half and the bold second half, however failed to address the problems in the more powerful manner.Some characters are underwritten and some of the dialogues delivered by them looked forced as if praising the director. Some of the dialogues turned preachy and everything turns preachy and predictable after the passage of time. Karthik Subbaraj in his excitement to add more power and punch failed to with his failure in clarity of thought on where and how to end the film and which direction he should take if forward. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Dorothy.

Dorothy Review

Don't Trouble The Trouble(2026) Movie: What's BehindFahadh Faasil's Don't Trouble The Trouble arrived with considerable curiosity, thanks to the Rajamouli family and Arka Media Works association, along with the promotional push from several top stars. The trailer also created interest with Balakrishna's voice-over and the film's unusual magical-adventure setup. With that kind of attention around it, expectations were naturally high. The question is whether the film manages to deliver the same spark once the actual story begins.Don't Trouble The Trouble(2026) Movie: Story ReviewThe story revolves around Suri (Fahadh Faasil), a carefree man who is constantly looking for ways to make quick money. His attempt to outsmart a dangerous politician, Aslam Bhai (Mahesh Manjrekar), lands him in a difficult situation. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a little girl, Divya (Ssara Palekar). The connection between the two and the trouble surrounding them forms the main conflict.Krishna (Subbaraju), Pratap (Saurabh Sachdeva) and Divya's parents become part of Suri's journey, but the screenplay struggles to turn this simple premise into a consistently engaging ride.Don't Trouble The Trouble(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewShashank Yeleti comes up with an idea that tries to mix fantasy, emotion and entertainment, but the execution doesn't completely bring those elements together. The film takes time to establish its world and characters, while the emotional thread that should hold the story together remains underdeveloped.The first half has a few entertaining moments, but the proceedings move along familiar lines. Some curiosity is created around the interval, giving the film a temporary lift. The second half, however, loses momentum and becomes increasingly uneven. The pre-climax provides some relief, but by then the film has already struggled to maintain the required engagement.The biggest issue is the screenplay. The basic premise had enough room for a fun and emotional entertainer, but several scenes feel stretched and the narrative doesn't always follow a convincing internal logic. The film also seems caught between different kinds of audiences, never fully settling into either a children's fantasy adventure or a proper family entertainer.Fahadh Faasil does his part sincerely and once again proves his ability to bring personality to even a limited character. He has also dubbed his own lines in Telugu. However, the role itself doesn't provide enough material for him to unleash the range and spontaneity he is capable of.Ssara Palekar is adorable and delivers a decent performance, though the emotional portions could have had greater impact. Subbaraju is adequate, while Saurabh Sachdeva's character feels underwritten and confusing in places. Mahesh Manjrekar fits the part but isn't given anything particularly memorable. Venkatesh Kakamanu and the rest of the cast perform as required.Don't Trouble The Trouble(2026) Movie: Technical ReviewKaala Bhairava's music doesn't leave a major impression, while the background score also fails to consistently elevate the important moments. Brad Francis' cinematography is one of the better aspects of the film, with the camera work giving several locations a natural and visually appealing treatment.Praveen Anthony's editing could have been tighter, particularly in the portions where the narrative begins to drag. The production values are decent and the film gets the required visual support, but the technical elements aren't enough to compensate for the screenplay issues.Don't Trouble The Trouble Movie: AdvantagesFahadh Faasil's performanceA few entertaining stretchesCinematographyInteresting basic premiseDon't Trouble The Trouble Movie: DisadvantagesUneven screenplayMissing emotional depthFamiliar treatmentSlow portionsSecond halfDon't Trouble The Trouble(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisDon't Trouble The Trouble had all the ingredients to become an interesting fantasy entertainer, but the final product doesn't fully capitalise on them. The central idea has scope, and Fahadh Faasil brings his usual commitment to the character, but the screenplay doesn't give him enough material to make the proceedings consistently engaging.The film works in parts, particularly when it leans into its lighter moments and the relationship at the heart of the story. However, the emotional beats don't land strongly enough, while the second half becomes increasingly inconsistent. Some outdated and illogical stretches further weaken the impact.The Rajamouli family association and the strong promotional attention created considerable curiosity, but the film itself needed stronger writing to sustain those expectations. It isn't a complete washout, as there are a few moments and performances that work, but the overall experience remains uneven.Considering all these elements, CineJosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Don't Trouble The Trouble. &nbsp;
