Regina Cassandra has reacted to the ongoing debate over the treatment of actresses in the Telugu film industry. The discussion gained attention after Janhvi Kapoor spoke about the Peddi controversy on Koffee With Karan, while Radhika Apte also shared her past experiences in Telugu cinema. Regina welcomed actresses speaking up but felt the issue should not turn into a North - South industry debate.In an interview, Regina said every actor has the right to question a scene or character portrayal that makes them uncomfortable. She believes actresses should not feel pressured to accept everything just because they are part of a project. According to her, artists must have the freedom to express their concerns and stand by their personal boundaries.Regina also recalled her experience with Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2, in which she played the actor's wife. She expressed disappointment with the film's promotional campaign, alleging that Karan Johar and Dharma Productions did not give her proper visibility. She particularly pointed out that the production house shared a song featuring her without tagging her on Instagram.The actress questioned why she was left out of the promotional posts despite being part of the film. She also wondered whether such treatment could be considered discrimination. Regina's comments have added another perspective to the discussion about actresses receiving recognition and equal visibility in the film industry, beyond the ongoing North - South debate. - Veda

&nbsp;&nbsp; Suriya’s Scene is heading for a November 6 Diwali release, but the film is facing a major challenge even before its first show. Despite having quality promotional material that has connected with a section of movie lovers, the overall pre release buzz is not particularly strong. The bigger concern is the limited number of theatres.Tamil Nadu is where the screen shortage could hurt Scene the most. The film is reportedly getting less than half of the available screens, with Nayanthara’s Mookuthi Amman 2 receiving a wide release through Red Giant Movies. Jailer 2 continues to occupy theatres, while Ramayana is taking a sizeable share of multiplex screens, leaving less room for Suriya’s film.The situation is also challenging in the Telugu states, where Aadarsha Kutumbam is still running after its October 30 release. NVR Cinemas is releasing Scene in Telugu, but Ramayana, distributed by Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateswara Creations at regular ticket prices, is expected to dominate theatre allocation. Karnataka faces a similar situation, while North India is likely to be heavily occupied by Ramayana.Kerala remains Scene’s biggest relief, with the film getting a comparatively better screen count and carrying expectations of Suriya’s biggest ever opening in the state. However, fewer theatres in other important markets could restrict its opening collections. The promotional content has found appreciation among a particular audience, but that has not yet translated into huge overall buzz. Scene now needs strong audience feedback to gain additional shows and theatres during the Diwali weekend. - Veda

&nbsp;&nbsp; Nayanthara’s Mookuthi Amman 2, also getting released as Mahasakthi in other languages, is gearing up for its November 6 Diwali release. Directed by Sundar C and produced by Ishari K. Ganesh under Vels Film International, the film reportedly carries a production budget of over ₹100 crore, raising expectations.The film has received a U/A 16+ certificate and has a runtime of approximately 2 hours 25 minutes. Nayanthara reportedly appears in dual roles, while Regina Cassandra, Duniya Vijay, Urvashi and Yogi Babu play important characters. Hiphop Tamizha has composed the music, and the film is releasing in five languages.Despite its big scale, advance bookings have started slowly. Recent tracking reports show opening day advance gross upto ₹1 crore only, which is very low considering the scale of the movie. The film also faces competition from Suriya’s Scene, which releases on the same day.The reported ₹100 crore production investment means the theatrical business needs to perform strongly. Satellite, digital and other non theatrical rights can help the producer recover a portion of the investment. Considering non theatrical recovery, the film atleast need to collect 100 crore gross worldwide to reach the break even target. Strong word of mouth and family audiences during Diwali will be crucial for theatrical recovery. - Veda

&nbsp;&nbsp; Suriya’s Scene is gearing up for a grand Diwali release on November 6, 2026. The Jithu Madhavan directorial has cleared its censor formalities with a U/A 16+ certificate and a runtime of 149.16 minutes (2 hours 29 minutes). The film is Suriya’s third theatrical release this year, following Karuppu and Vishwanathan and Sons.One of the biggest advantages for Scene is its controlled production budget. The film is reportedly made on a budget of around ₹50 crore, excluding Suriya’s remuneration, as he is also one of its producers. The film brings together an interesting cast featuring Nazriya Nazim, Naslen, Anandraj and Lal, with Jithu Madhavan directing after Malayalam hits Romancham and Aavesham.The makers have reportedly recovered the entire production investment through non theatrical rights, including digital, satellite and music deals. This puts Scene in a comfortable position before its theatrical release. However, the film needs to collect approximately ₹200 crore in worldwide gross to achieve hit status based on its reported theatrical business agreements.Advance bookings have started on a promising note, particularly in Kerala, where the film reportedly collected over ₹2 crore in pre sales within the first 24 hours. The latest reported advance booking gross has reached ₹5 crore, including ₹2 crore from Kerala and ₹3 crore from Tamil Nadu. The return of early morning shows in Tamil Nadu, along with the Diwali holiday advantage, could further help its opening.

The average ticket price stands at approximately ₹367, including 3D charges. While the overall pre sales look impressive, ticket pricing appears to be affecting occupancy in major Hindi markets.The Hindi version leads with ₹35.33 crore gross at an average ticket price of ₹442, but occupancy remains at just 19.1%. In comparison, Kannada has recorded ₹5.07 crore at 33.3% occupancy, while Telugu has collected ₹4.22 crore at ₹189 ATP with 28.1% occupancy. Tamil and Malayalam have also reported better occupancy than Hindi.The regional trend is equally interesting, with Karnataka leading state collections at ₹8.39 crore and 32.8% occupancy. Hyderabad has sold 1.08 lakh tickets, more than Mumbai's 51,547, despite generating a lower gross of ₹3.01 crore against Mumbai's ₹3.41 crore. With the November 5 release approaching, strong word of mouth and Diwali holidays could improve footfalls, but high ticket prices remain a concern for the film's opening. - Veda &nbsp;

Ahead of the film release, Ranbir Kapoor who played Lord Ram praised Sai Pallavi who played Goddess Sita.He said "This is a trivia about her. She's the most spiritual person I've met in my entire life. Just the personality she has, her aura, her spirit is extremely spiritual.". Even Yash who played Ravana said "Sometimes you know we are getting carried away with our own thing. The way she surrenders or she always talks about a spiritual this thing but not outside, but we being close to her, she's somebody who doesn't take any credit or anything. She always gives it to the God or the universe that's now she has been."Sai Pallavi once said "When I say spirituality, I don't mean idol worship. It's about how happy you are and how much happiness you can spread around. I meditate. It's my daily ritual." This is such a profound understanding of what spirituality means. A lot of people confuse just idol worship with spirituality. However, its true essence lies in our ability to spread happiness around and controlling our thoughts." - Nirvighn Nandivada

&nbsp;&nbsp; Telugu cinema has opened doors for several Bollywood actresses, giving them opportunities to work alongside some of its biggest stars. However, some of these actresses have also become vocal about their experiences in the industry. From Radhika Apte to Taapsee Pannu and now Janhvi Kapoor, Tollywood has repeatedly found itself at the centre of criticism.Radhika Apte recently recalled her experience with Balakrishna's Legend, saying she hated the idea of romancing an actor much older than her and playing a character involved in a relationship with her maternal uncle. She described the experience as patriarchal. She had also previously spoken about male dominance and the treatment of women on Telugu film sets.Taapsee Pannu has faced criticism for her remarks about South Indian cinema too. She questioned the emphasis on heroines' navels in song sequences, recalling an incident from her debut film Jhummandi Naadam. More recently, she spoke about the focus on actresses' bodies and uncomfortable costume demands. However, she has also acknowledged that Telugu cinema played an important role in giving her early recognition.Janhvi Kapoor is the latest to join this discussion following the Peddi controversy. On Koffee with Karan 9, she described her experience with the film's portrayal as violating and questioned the lack of bound scripts and detailed camera angles in South Indian cinema. Her remarks sparked criticism over whether one film experience should lead to generalisations about an entire industry.The three actresses have raised different concerns, but their comments have once again put Tollywood under scrutiny. There is no denying that issues involving women's treatment deserve attention. However, does criticism of individual films and experiences eventually turn into a judgement about an entire industry? Why does Tollywood keep finding itself in this debate?- Ashish

Radhika to Janhvi: Bollywood's Dig at Tollywood?

Tollywood Gives Them Chances, But Why the Criticism?

Over the last few years, actresses like Radhika Apte, Tapsee, Janhvi Kapoor and others have been attacking Tollywood after attaining name and fame by romancing top stars before making it to Bollywood.In the midst of all this, star producer SKN shared his views. He came up with the following powerful post.Accepting roles, working in South Indian cinema, gaining recognition and opportunities here, and then, years later, criticising the same industry, its stories and cultural traditions is becoming an unfortunate pattern.Every actor has the right to express an opinion. But there is a difference between constructive criticism and selectively looking down upon an industry that welcomed you.<h2>Telugu cinema and #SouthIndian cinema have their own cultural identity, traditions and storytelling values. What may seem unusual to someone from another region can be perfectly normal within our culture.</h2>Respect should be mutual. You cannot celebrate the opportunities and later disrespect the culture behind them. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Selective criticism and cultural superiority are not. Respect the industry that respected you. &nbsp;

Ever since the dastardly attack on Class X students in Raptadu, Andhra Pradesh, people started blaming Sandeep Vanga, pointing out a similar scene in his film Animal.In the midst of all this, Sandeep Vanga came up with the following reaction. He posted &nbsp;"When someone commits a heinous crime, the first response should be empathy &amp; an attempt to understand the larger problem. Not finding a convenient scapegoat in cinema. It is becoming increasingly clear that your concern is not for the victims or their families, but that you're using a horrific tragedy as a dirty excuse to settle your personal scores."He added, "This is especially directed at those failed, frustrated, jobless male/female actors, a few directors, producers &amp; parasites, who suddenly appoint themselves as social reformers whenever an opportunity arises to take a dig at someone else's work. A tragedy deserves empathy 🙏, not opportunism. Learn the difference."Sandeep Vanga is all set to direct Prabhas in his film Spirit.

For more than three decades Khans trio, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan ruled the Bollywood and Indian film industry without any opposition and competition.The Khan trio overcame the competition that arose with changes in the tastes of the people, multiplexes and the OTT revolution, but many feel that the pan-India challenges changed it completely. Many feel that Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor and others are challenging the Khan trio.Ranveer with Dhurandhar and Ranbir with Animal unlocked the tough South market, which looked impossible even for the Khans. Ranbir with Rock Star, Sanju and Animal proved himself as a mass hero. Unlike Shah Rukh Khana nd Salman Khan, he is experimenting with his films. After Animal, now he is targeting the world market with the epic Ramayana. He can achieve the impossible only if the film gets unanimous positive talk.Though Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman have international craze, it is surprising they have not tried an epic and mythological film till now targeting the international market, and it will be a plus point for Ranbir Kapoor. &nbsp;They are collaborating with international studios and production houses.But this alone cannot dethrone the Khan trio. It all depends on how an Indian star reaches the global arena. Ranbir and Ranveer are trying differently and it has to be seen how successful in their attempts.&nbsp;-- Nirvighn Nandivada &nbsp;

One look at the careers of heroines acting in Trivikram Srinivas' films highlights a huge contrast. Pooja Hegde and Samantha did not do more than one film with Trivikram.

Nivetha Pethuraj played a key role in Aadarsha Kutumbam.In Ala Vaikunthapuramlo, Nivetha Pethuraj played a key role, and now she plays a role in Aadarsha Kutumbam. However, the role didn't help in any way. Nivetha Pethuraj got a good response for her roles in Mental Madhilo and Brochevarevarura. Though she did Red, Paagal, and Das Ka Dhamki, she didn't get roles opposite top stars.Meenakshi Chaudhary did a role in Trivikram Srinivas' Guntur Kaaram; her role is inconsequential. She, however, got a good role in Lucky Bhaskar. She said she got good roles after that, and she did Sankranthiki Vastunnam.Samantha was a top heroine before she did Attarintiki Daaredi. She did aS/O Sathyamurthy and A Aa. Pooja Hegde also did Aravinda Sametha and Ala Vaikunthapuramlo.But these hits can't be related to Trivikram Srinivas. Praneeta after Attarintiki Daaredi, curd Rabhasa and &nbsp;Hello Guru Prema Kosame. But they didn't get offers opposite Star heroes. The same is the case with Esha Rebbav, who featured in Aravinda Sametha.This proves that heroines who played roles in Trivikram Srinivas' films didn't get good roles. Nivetha Pethuraj got a good role in the web series Paruvu. Many feel that Nivetha Pethuraj got less screen presence in Aadarsha Kutumbam.

They bring innocence and natural expressions to their characters, handling the emotional and humorous moments convincingly.Baby Khushi and the other child actors add to the film's entertainment value. Jayasudha is effective as the grandmother, while Vasuki Anand and Harshavardhan do well as RV's parents. Rajeev Kanakala stands out with a strong performance.Summer Holidays (2026) Movie: Technical AspectsSrikar Nayan G builds the story around childhood friendships, summer holidays and the simple joys of village life. The film brings back memories of carefree vacations spent playing with friends and enjoying time away from school. It also underlines the importance of friendship, hard work and finding happiness beyond academic marks.The film begins with the conflict between a father and son before moving into the village setting. The narrative picks up pace as RV meets KV, and the emotional interval sequence sets up the second half well.However, the proceedings become predictable after the interval. Though the emotional moments, both happy and sad, have their share of impact, the screenplay follows familiar lines. The climax provides some emotional satisfaction, but the film could have made a stronger impression with tighter writing.Sai Prakash Ummadisingu's cinematography captures the village atmosphere beautifully. Sinjith Yerramilli's songs are pleasant and have been picturised well. Santosh Naidu's editing is decent, though a few portions could have been trimmed. The production values are good.Summer Holidays Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Village backdrop</li><li>Performances</li><li>Emotions and humour</li></ul>Summer Holidays Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable story</li><li>Convenient screenplay</li><li>Flat narration</li></ul>Summer Holidays (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisSummer Holidays is a feel-good entertainer that banks on nostalgia, childhood memories and emotions. Debutant director Srikar Nayan G handles the central idea with clarity and conviction. The producers deserve appreciation for backing a story that focuses on simple human emotions rather than relying on violence and commercial gimmicks.However, the film's impact is limited by its flat narration and convenient screenplay. A tighter script, a more engaging pace and fewer predictable moments could have made it a better experience. Despite its pleasant moments, the film leaves the feeling that something is missing.Considering its strengths and shortcomings, Cinejosh rates Summer Holidays 2.5/5.

Summer Holidays Review

Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: What's BehindRamayana is one of the most ambitious Indian films, bringing the country's much-loved epic to the big screen on a grand scale. Nitesh Tiwari, known for films like Dangal and Chhichhore, has taken up the responsibility of presenting this timeless story to audiences across the world. Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana have added to the curiosity surrounding the project. With A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer handling the music, expectations are high. The film's massive scale and star cast have made it one of the most anticipated cinematic ventures. Let us see how far Ramayana lives up to the expectations.Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: StoryThe Ramayana is a story that needs no introduction. Nitesh Tiwari brings the epic to the big screen, focusing on the journey of Rama, his marriage to Sita, their exile and the events that lead to her abduction by Ravana. The first part introduces the key characters and sets up the conflict between Rama and Ravana, with the much-awaited battle left for the next instalment.Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: PerformancesRanbir Kapoor looks convincing as Lord Rama. He brings the required calmness and dignity to the character. Sai Pallavi is a good choice for Sita, and her natural performance adds grace to the role. Both actors do justice to their characters.Yash makes his presence felt as Ravana. His looks, body language and screen presence suit the character, and he brings the required intensity whenever he appears. Ravi Dubey is good as Lakshmana, while the supporting cast does its job well.Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: Technical AspectsThe biggest attraction of Ramayana is its scale. The sets, costumes, locations and production design give the film a grand look. The visual effects work well in several important sequences, though a few shots could have been better. The Jatayu episode is one of the film's standout moments.A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer's music adds weight to the proceedings, particularly in the important sequences. The background score works better than the songs. Cinematography is impressive, while the editing could have been sharper in a few portions.Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: AnalysisNitesh Tiwari has taken up a challenging task, and there is no doubt that the film has been mounted on a huge scale. Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi do justice to Rama and Sita, while Yash brings the necessary power to Ravana. The casting is one of the film's strengths.However, the film doesn't maintain the same pace throughout. Some episodes take longer than necessary, and the narration loses momentum in a few places. Despite having several visually impressive moments, the emotional impact is not equally strong across the film. The familiar story also puts more responsibility on the writing to keep audiences engaged, and this is where the film could have done better.The first part largely concentrates on establishing the characters and their worlds. While it offers enough moments to enjoy on the big screen, the wait for the actual Rama-Ravana battle may leave some viewers wanting more.Ramayana Part 1 Movie: Plus Points<ul><li>Grand production values</li><li>Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi's performances</li><li>Yash as Ravana</li><li>Impressive visuals</li><li>Jatayu episode</li><li>Background score</li></ul>Ramayana Part 1 Movie: Minus Points<ul><li>Slow narration in parts</li><li>Lengthy runtime</li><li>Uneven visual effects</li><li>Emotional impact could have been stronger</li><li>Editing could have been tighter</li></ul>Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: VerdictRamayana has the scale and performances needed for a grand theatrical experience. Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash make the familiar characters interesting to watch, and some sequences leave a strong impression. However, the slow narration and lack of consistent emotional depth hold the film back. It is a decent first instalment that sets up the bigger conflict for the next part.

Rudravanam PS Web Series: What's BehindRudravanam PS webseries starring Naresh Agastya under the direction of Sasidhar Munnangi is streaming on Zee5 starting from 30 October. Let us find out how the web series thrilled movie lovers.Rudravanam PS Web Series: Story ReviewRudravanam PS story revolves around mysterious murders and disappearance of a politician and where the investigation by the cops lead to. CI Venu Gopal (Banerjee) along with SI Siva Kumar (Naresh Agastya) starts investigating the mysterious disappearances of 8 people that include even the brother of MLA Bhairavulu (Raja Ravindra). Where this leads to, how it is connected to his wife Swarna (Preeti Sunder), Anji (Charu Vaken) and others form the interesting twist.Rudravanam PS Web Series: Artists ReviewNaresh Agasthya performed well in his role. He showed his acting talent showing variations in his body language and screen presence. He showed the required seriousness in his role during the investigation and while following orders from the higherups. &nbsp;He delivered dialogues highlighting the emotions with his expressions. Charu Vaken impressed with his performance in the final episodes.Banerjee is good in the role of the higher up. Shravani Reddy is good in her role. However Anji's character is not shown in the most interesting manner. Raja Ravindra, Preeti Sundar, Shiva Alapati performed according to their roles.Rudravanam PS Web Series: Technicians ReviewRudravanam PS story is written by Taj Sayed and is helmed by Sasidhar Munnangi. He tried to excite all with the crime thriller. The first four episodes progress in a interesting and exciting manner. He designed the character of Naresh Agasthya. The happenings involving the character of Anji is good. But these things could have been shown in the more impactful manner.Sasidhar Munnangi the loses plot in the last three episodes diluting the intensity levels. Had these scenes designed in &nbsp;an interesting manner, things would have been different. The more subplots as the investigation progresses resulted in the decrease of interest leves as it resulted in confusion all over. It turned out to be a mixed bag with few scenes getting dragged unnecessarily and some scenes ending rather abruptly.Many murder mysteries came with such plot and very few of them are engaging. Rudravanam PS also fails to engage. The first four episodes though interesting are dragged showing the restlessness in the police force and the story do not head anywhere. The entire story is narrated in the last two episodes and the &nbsp;motive of the culprit is shown in the last episode and this is little interesting. However, even that pales due to the weak motive.Ashkar Ali with his cinematography showed the rural village atmosphere in the natural and realistic manner. However Madhav's editing should have been &nbsp;more sharper as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. The background music of Saluri Vasu Rao is good and added value to the narration. Production values are good.Rudravanam PS Web Series: Advantages<ul><li>Naresh Agasthya's characterisation</li><li>BGM</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Interesting &nbsp;Climax</li></ul>Rudravanam PS Web Series: Disadvantages<ul><li>Missing Emotions</li><li>Spineless Screenplay</li><li>Subplots</li><li>Weak Twists</li></ul>Rudravanam PS Web Series: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Rudravanam PS turns out to be a routine investigative thriller. Naresh Agasthya came up with a spirited performance and director Sasidhar Munnangi tried to thrill viewers in this 7 episodes webseries. While he made an impactful start with the first four episodes showing the investigating episodes in an exciting and interesting manner, the last three episodes except for the climax goes for a toss. For all his efforts, though the characterisation of Naresh Agasthya's role appeals, everything goes missing. The story lacked the emotional connect with things passing through the motions and screenplay turning spineless and stale without offering nothing much to excite. Little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay and powerful emotions would have added more punch to the story. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Rudravanam PS.

Rudravanam PS Web Series Review

Akka (2026) Web Series: StoryAkka is set in the 1980s in Pernuru, a fictional South Indian kingdom ruled by women for generations. The society follows its own traditions, with women holding power and men having a limited role in the kingdom's affairs. Bhavani (Keerthy Suresh) is the powerful matriarch who controls the kingdom and tries to protect its traditions and authority.However, her world gets disturbed when Rudra (Radhika Apte), an outsider with a personal vendetta, enters Pernuru with plans to take control. What follows is a violent battle involving power, revenge, betrayals and family rivalries. How Bhavani handles the threat and what happens to the kingdom form the rest of the story.Akka Web Series: PerformancesKeerthy Suresh gets a strong character in Bhavani, but the writing does not give her enough emotional depth to make the role memorable. She manages to bring some authority to the character, although the overall impact remains limited.Radhika Apte gets an interesting role as Rudra, but her characterisation and dialogue delivery do not create the desired impact. Tanvi Azmi and Monika Panwar have their moments, while Mahesh Manjrekar, Anshuman Pushkar, Vishak Nair and the rest of the supporting cast have limited scope to make an impression.Akka Web Series: AnalysisAkka starts with an interesting premise. A fictional kingdom controlled by women, where power struggles and gangster politics take centre stage, offers plenty of scope for an engaging period crime drama. The conflict between Bhavani and Rudra also provides an interesting foundation.Unfortunately, the writing fails to make proper use of this idea. The series spends considerable time establishing its fictional world, traditions and characters, but struggles to create emotional involvement. Despite several betrayals, violent confrontations and power games, the proceedings rarely become engaging.The biggest problem is the lack of strong characterisation. Both Bhavani and Rudra are introduced as powerful women, but their motivations and emotional journeys are not explored effectively. Several subplots occupy considerable screen time without adding much value to the central conflict.The series also relies heavily on violence and grand visuals to create an impression. However, the action sequences lack the impact required to elevate the drama. Even when the narrative reaches important turning points, the emotional connect remains weak.Akka Web Series: Technical AspectsThe production design, costumes and locations give the series a lavish appearance. However, the artificial presentation and excessive stylisation make the fictional world less convincing. The background score is largely unremarkable and fails to enhance the intensity of the confrontations. The writing and direction needed much more conviction to turn the ambitious premise into an engaging drama.Akka Web Series: Plus Points<ul><li>Interesting central premise</li><li>Some detailing of the matriarchal society</li><li>Lavish production design and costumes</li></ul>Akka Web Series: Minus Points<ul><li>Weak and simplistic writing</li><li>Poor character development</li><li>Lack of emotional depth</li><li>Unconvincing world-building</li><li>Underwhelming action and background score</li></ul>Akka Web Series: VerdictAkka has an interesting premise and a lavish setup, but the execution fails to match its ambition. The power struggle between two strong female characters could have made for an engaging gangster drama. However, weak writing, shallow characterisation and a lack of emotional depth make the series a disappointing watch. Despite its visual grandeur, Akka turns out to be more about show than substance.

He tried to thrill viewers with spy thriller with sci fi elements. He started the narration in an &nbsp;interesting way but quickly loses plot even before the interest is built. He tried to come up with numerous questions and with different screenplay and taking, use of various technological jargons, he decided to provided the answers.While he generated interest with some of the scenes, the investigation scenes irritates viewers with the overaction of the cast and the repetitive scenes. The end of the first half sets the stage for the second half. Couple of twists in the second half turnout to be ok but many scenes in the second half turned repetitive and routine. There are many illogical scenes and also the climax scenes looks out of snyc.Ashirvad &amp; Suman Jeeva's background score followed the same template.

Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.25 rating for Killer.

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

Let us see whether Trivikram's dark humour and Venkatesh's comedy timing work for movie lovers.Aadarsha Kutumbam(2026) Movie: Story Review Aadarsha Kutumbam revolves around a middle-class family and the happenings in their debt-ridden lives and how they deal with an unexpected situation.Chitti Babu (Venkatesh) leads a middle-class life filled with debts, largely because of his wife Swarna (Srinidhi Shetty). His life changes completely after one incident. Where this incident leads him and his family, and how the other characters become part of the story form the rest of the developments.Inspector Damodar Naidu (Nara Rohith), DSP Bruhaspati (Rao Ramesh), Malathi (Nivetha Pethuraj), Chandan (Udaybir Sandhu), Judge Pradeep Sarkar (Nassar), Sarwa (Raj Prajwal) and Sampoorna (Yuvina Parthavi) play important roles in the proceedings.Aadarsha Kutumbam(2026) Movie: Artists Review Venkatesh slips into the role effortlessly. He entertains with his trademark mannerisms, dialogue delivery and expressions. He also emotes well in the serious portions and carries several scenes with his screen presence. His performance remains one of the film's biggest strengths.Srinidhi Shetty looks good on screen and impresses with her innocent performance. Her chemistry with Venkatesh looks fresh and works well.Nivetha Pethuraj attracts with her looks but gets a relatively limited role. Nara Rohith plays an important character and delivers a decent performance.Satya is good on screen and manages to evoke a few laughs, although he could have been utilised better. Dimple Hayathi sizzles in a special song. Yuvina and Raj Prajwal are good as the children. Rao Ramesh impresses with his distinctive dialogue delivery.Nassar has a small role, while Brahmaji, Raghu Babu and Sachin Khedekar do justice to their respective parts. Udaybir Sandhu is fine as the villain.Aadarsha Kutumbam(2026) Movie: Technicians Review Trivikram starts the narration in an interesting manner and introduces Venkatesh with an entertaining sequence. The first half then moves forward with a mix of comedy and family situations. Though the proceedings are somewhat predictable, Trivikram's dialogues and Venkatesh's performance keep the momentum going.The interval sequence comes with a surprise and creates some interest for the second half. However, the sequence also reminds us of the Tamil film Blast.The second half is where the film loses some of its freshness. The proceedings become predictable and repetitive, with the story largely focusing on how the family tries to save themselves from the criminals. Still, there are a few entertaining moments and twists that keep the film watchable before it reaches a predictable conclusion.Trivikram's story does not offer anything particularly new apart from a couple of twists. The screenplay is straightforward and lacks the novelty expected from him. However, his trademark dialogue writing and the performances help the film in several places.Thaman's songs do not make much of an impact and are not presented particularly well on screen. His background score, however, is effective and suits the proceedings.Ravi K Chandran's cinematography gives the film a colourful and appealing look. Naveen Nooli's editing is good, though the second half could have benefited from tighter cuts. The dialogues work in parts and the production values are good.Aadarsha Kutumbam Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Venkatesh</li><li>Entertaining first half</li><li>Comedy and family moments</li><li>Few interesting twists</li><li>BGM</li></ul>Aadarsha Kutumbam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable second half</li><li>Familiar situations</li><li>Lack of novelty in the screenplay</li></ul>Aadarsha Kutumbam(2026) Movie: Rating Analysis Altogether, Aadarsha Kutumbam turns out to be a fairly engaging family entertainer with a mix of comedy, thrills and unexpected turns. Venkatesh is at his entertaining best and carries the film with his trademark expressions, mannerisms and dialogue delivery. Trivikram manages to create several enjoyable moments, particularly in the first half, with his witty dialogues and interesting setup.The second half loses some of the freshness seen earlier and becomes predictable in places. A few situations also remind us of familiar films, which takes away some of the impact. Still, the film has enough entertaining moments, a few good twists and a strong lead performance to make it a decent theatrical watch.Considering the overall entertainment, Venkatesh's performance, humour, thrills and technical aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Aadarsha Kutumbam.

The tunes connect chords with the viewers. He added value to the narration with his background music. He with his background music added more power to the soul of the film. The cinematography of Priyesh Guruswamy is good. He turned the youthful triangular love story into a colorful one with his camera angles capturing the natural locations in an appealing manner. The editing of Sakthi Pranesh is decent but there are few drags in the film that slowed the proceedings a bit. Dialogues are effective and impactful. Production values are good.Haiku Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Performances</li><li>Emotions</li></ul>Haiku Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Story</li><li>Screenplay</li></ul>Haiku(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Haiku turns out to be a decent love story. Aegan, Femina George and Sridevi Appala did full justice to their roles and though director Yuvaraj Chinnasamy came up with a routine story and predictable screenplay, the performances made the film watchable to an extent. However, the lack of freshness in the story and screenplay played the spolsort. Little finetuning of the script and interesting and gripping screenplay &nbsp;would have added more impact to the final output. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 for Haiku.

418 Movie Review

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

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