The team said they respect and admire Ilaiyaraaja for his great work in Indian cinema and music. They made it clear that they had no plan to hurt or disrespect him, his work, or his rights.

To show their respect, they have decided to remove or change the part in future prints and all later versions of the film. The team added that they value his feelings and continue to hold him in the highest respect. The line in question was seen as a light dig at Ilaiyaraaja’s recent copyright issues over his songs and royalty rights.Meanwhile, Karuppu is doing very well in theatres. The RJ Balaji directorial released on Friday and has already joined the 150 crore club at the worldwide box office. Crowds are still coming to watch the film in large numbers.

Tollywood has many senior stars but even now they surprise all with their young, handsome and dashing looks in their films on screen. Be it Mega Star Chiranjeevi, Natasimha Balakrishna, Victory Venkatesh, King Nagarjuna, Mass Raja Raviteja, Angry Star Rajasekhar, all surprise movie lovers with their stunning looks.
Chiranjeevi looked slim and handsome, sporting a royal look as freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy in Sye Raa while Balakrishna sported young looks in Ruler. Thanks to digital de-aging even after 60s, stars are looking ten years younger on screen as the technology digitally smoothes out wrinkles, tightens jaw lines.
If one thinks that only senior stars are using this technology, people are mistaken. Even young actors are using the technology to look dashing on screen. Anushka Shetty may be still struggling to regain her slim structure, but she surprises with her red hot looks on screen. In her upcoming film Nishabdham, she did not have even an ounce of fat on her face.
Prabhas looked lean in some scenes and beefed up in other scenes in Saaho. Ram Charan, Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, Raj Tarun are using this technology to shine brighter on screen. Even Vijayashanti is using the technology in her comeback film Sarileru Neekevvaru to look good.
But the usage of digital de-aging technology increases the cost of production. It costs a whopping Rs 3 lakhs per minute for a top star and for an upcoming star its range is between 1-1.5 lakhs.
A top producer says though many actors still follow strict exercise regime and diet to gain or lose weight, digital de-aging technology is used to enhance their looks.

Veerabhadrudu (2026) Movie: Whats BehindVeerabhadrudu finally hits the screens today. Suriya is known for his powerful and impactful performances and versatile roles.

Karuppu OTT rights have been acquired by Amazon Prime and streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. Let us see whether Veerabhadrudu changed Suriya's fate at the box office.Veerabhadrudu aka Karuppu Movie: Story ReviewVeerabhadrudu story revolves around innocents fight for justice and what happens when it falls in deaf ears. Baby Krishna (RJ.Balaji) an influential lawyer runs the entire court in Nampally according to his whims and fancies and makes huge money by hook or crook. Though people are vexed, no one dares and then the unbelievable happens in form of Veerabhadra (Suriya).Who is Veerabhadra, how he is connected to the developments and what role lawyer Preethi (Trisha) played the interesting twist in the narration.Veerabhadrudu (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSuriya impresses with his performance. He makes an impact as the village God and is good as a lawyer. He showed good variations in mannerisms, looks and body language. He showed different expressions accordingly. He enacted action sequences with utmost ease.Trisha got an important role. She is ok with her looks. At times she got prominence and suddenly she gets confined to the second fiddle before taking the centre stage.RJ. Balaji performed well as the crooked lawyer. His scenes with Suriya excites all. At times he got more screen presence. Others like Natty, Swasika, Sshivadha, Anagha Maya Ravi, Supreeth Reddy performed according to their roles.Veerabhadrudu aka Karuppu Movie: Technicians ReviewVeerabhadrudu story is written by RJ. Balaji. He tried to entertain viewers by adding spiritual elements to a routine action entertainer with a message. For most of the first half, he spent time introducing various characters, establishing their problems and the proceedings in the court and elevate their emotions before introducing Suriya in an interesting and exciting manner. The slow pace tend to put off viewers as the scenes are predictable till the entry of Suriya.The narration picks up pace with the entry of Suriya and the spiritual elements generated curiosity. The conflict attracts all and though the interval block is routine, the first half ends on a decent note. When one expects a better second half, the narration turns cliched and screenplay goes for a toss. The comedy scenes looked outdated and dragged the narration to the next level.The pre climax is good but inspired by films like Kantara and Pushpa but lacked the strong emotions associated with them. RJ.Balaji followed the similar template in Veerabhadrudu which he did in Nayanthara's Mookuthi Amman except for few variations.The songs tuned by Sai Abhyankar had Tamil flavor. It is difficult to connect cords. His background score at times is good but at other times it turned out to be extremely loud. Kalaivanan's editing is ok but could have been far better. There are many scenes with tamil flavor and also repetitive scenes put off viewers. The cinematography of GK.Vishnnu is good. He showed the action sequences in an exciting way.Veerabhadrudu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ef0c3b979af8af3b33237e64a5eda3ac4">Suriya</li><li data-list-item-id="e00fd1b78977d2c1b6b45068cea5785cd">First Half</li><li data-list-item-id="e9a31681e1e2115e18cad747b7c42bae1">Few Emotions</li></ul>Veerabhadrudu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e351af48354cd09ac75b07cde4f5dae12">Frail Villian</li><li data-list-item-id="e7d98612fa657386d1df1a5cd4bac0cd9">Ordinary Dialogues</li><li data-list-item-id="eddbd29e7077c264cb807fee678513585">Incoherent Narration</li></ul>Veerabhadrudu (Karuppu) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Veerabhhadrudu turns out to be a routine fictional actioner. Suriya as usual came up with impressive performance. However, RJ. Balaji, who came up with a decent first half despite the routine flavor and predictable elements, failed completely in the second half. Little finetuning of the script would have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Veerabhadrudu.&nbsp;

The film's Telugu version is releasing on 15 May 2026. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by Amazon Prime and streaming will be after the end of its theatrical run. Let us see what KD-The Devil offered to movie lovers.KD: The Devil (2026) Movie - Story ReviewKD-The Devil story revolves around a good natured individual and how his life changes following the missteps and how he handles them. Kaalidasa aka Kaali aka KD (Dhruva Sarja) due to circumstances starts idolising &nbsp;Dhak Deva (Sanjay Dutt), who weilds an iron like grip in and around Bengaluru.Where this leads to and what roles, KD's lady love Machhlakshmi (Reeshma Nanaiah), his brother Dharma (Ramesh Aravind), Satyavati (Shilpa Shetty), Annayyappa (V.Ravichandran), Rudra Mishra (Jisshu Sen Gupta) and Kaala Bhairava (Sudeepa) form the interesting part.KD: The Devil (2026) Movie - Artists ReviewKD-The Devil Movie Hero Dhruva Sarja performed well in the role and showed good variations in his expressions and body language according to the situation. He emoted well and made his presence felt with his body language and mannerisms. He looked good on the screen and enacted intense action sequences with ease.Sanjay Dutt looked menacing on the screen. He with his persona elevated the scenes. However his role is wasted as his character arc is not developed properly. Ramesh Arvind made his presence felt as he got a role of substance.Shilpa Shetty, V. Ravichandran, Reeshma Nanaiah, Jisshu Sengupta performed their accordingly as they didnot get any scope to showcase their acting talent. Nora Fatehi sizzled in a special song. Sudeepa made his presence felt in a cameo.KD: The Devil (2026) Movie - Technicians ReviewKD-The Devil story is penned by Prem. Right from the start the story is eccentric to the core. When he entered the industry his story telling turned out to be unique but he started using the same and followed the same using technological advances offering nothing new ending up testing the patience of the viewers.The narration lacks continuity and screenplay turned out to be bizzare and viewers are left wondering what he was upto. Though Dhruva Sarja worked hard, his character turned out to be loud. Reeshama Nanaiah is ok and Sanjay Dutt's character looked extremely awkward. As the narration progresses, the viewers interest wane and when the film ends, they heave a sigh of relief.The cinematography of William David added value to the narration turning it rich. However Arjun Janya's music failed with misplaced songs and also the background score turned out to be very jarry and loud. VFX turned out to be below average and the editing Sanketh Achar failed completely. What surprised all is they completely deleted the controversial song of Norah Fatehi. Production values are good.KD: The Devil - Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e92babcd81e28be7d5eb51504ffcfe5b2">Dhruva Sarja to some extent</li><li data-list-item-id="e58a15cd31a17e29446bbea0df5beb39e">Kiccha Sudeep Cameo </li><li data-list-item-id="e4fb73d1cab0cda4bd25390c846c68061">Couple of Action Blocks</li></ul>KD: The Devil - Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e774d096b6696162bf1c30e137593971d">Predictable Story</li><li data-list-item-id="e10426125bfffb2f67a3163f679a5987f">BGM </li><li data-list-item-id="e97d70c5895279b51dfc65fcabe7e0f94">Loud Dialogues </li><li data-list-item-id="ebf562b0ca6082677383313dab666cfac">Extreme Violence</li></ul>KD: The Devil (2026) Movie - Rating AnalysisAltogether, KD-The Devil turns out to be a complete disappointment. Prem as the director failed to get the optimum from the cast and crew. Despite the presence of top stars like Sanjay Dutt and performer like Dhruva Sarja, instead of concentrating on coming with strong story, he paid attention to action sequences and extreme violence. Even the character arcs are underdeveloped and actors turned out to be mere puppets. He lacked the conviction and sticking to his old proven formula turned out to be a drawback. he failed completely with his screenplay, story and direction. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for KD: The Devil.

He tried to attract viewers with an action entertainer. He failed completely with the way he started the proceedings and he continues in the same mannner throughout the first half. The flashback action scenes though predictable turns the film racy. Many expected a better second half but once again, he came up with silly and senseless scenes irritating the viewers.His screenplay turned out to be senseless while direction turned rudderless. One gets a feeling that he is out only to murder movie lovers with his so called creative scenes.Uppu Maruthi failed completely as an editor. Though he couldn't be faulted as the story is senseless, he still left many ridiculous scenes. Anandmarukurthi's cinematography is below average. The music of Manizenna left a lot to be desired and so too is the background music. Dialogues are in bad taste and most of them are loaded with double meaning.

Raj Thalluri tried to thrill viewers with action entertainer but he failed in his attempt completely. The starting scenes itself puts off viewers and from then on it turns out to be a tedious watch. The predictable flashback and the episodes in the second half makes viewers run for cover. There is no respite to the viewers as Raj Thalluri comes with scenes that defies logic and gives immese torture. The story is extremely weak and screenplay and direction is atrocious. Considering all these points, Cinejosh goes with a 1 rating for Harudu.

He came up with the serious expression that is required for his role in the film. He showed good body language and screen presence to elevate the scenes. He performed intense action sequences with ease.Tanish and Inaya Sultana are ok in their roles. Others performed according to their roles. The small girl did well showing good emotions.Razor (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewRazor movie story is penned by Ravi Babu. Expectations will be high as Ravi Babu came up with films like Allari, Nachavule, Nuvvila, Anasuya and Amaravathi. He started the narration in a predictable manner with the chief minister's assassination and the other events that unfold. The story lacked novelty and his screenplay assumed the tried and tested format.He included intense action sequences and loaded with with extreme violence and gory scenes. One gets a feeling that Ravi Babu decided to come up with the most violent film in Telugu after Nani's Hit3 drawing inspiration from films like Marco and Kill.Except for the action sequences, everything turns monotonous and routine. The only saving grace is he included usage of technology in tracking the clues and merging of the videos to prove the sinster design of the criminals. Ravi Babu's screenplay and direction offered nothing new. While the first half though predictable is racy, the second half loses steam during the flashback episode.The background score added value to the narration. It is thumping and helped in maintaining the intensity levels. The Cinematography is in sync with the story and the Narration. Editing is quite good except for few scenes in the second half. Dialogues are ok and production values are fine. Stunt choreographer deserves compliments for the intense action sequences.Razor (2026) Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e925879b752f6ac47f38d88b5ab164100">Ravi Babu</li><li data-list-item-id="e1f0334f5bc82ded2858d1f462fa24e97">Few Twists</li><li data-list-item-id="e7dee434b75340b6c559fd8eb4b7c50c8">BGM</li></ul>Razor (2026) Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e9a208590a1ffc56ae351284057c5e269">Illogical Scenes</li><li data-list-item-id="eb20742290d6d254eb617306e6600d583">Predictable Elements</li><li data-list-item-id="e9709d0700a4e71fc23c853bbf70db34a">Gory Scenes</li></ul>Razor (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Razor turns out to be routine violent actioner. Ravi Babu who acted and directed the film, came up with a predictable story but added few interesting twists and turns. However, this diddnot cover all the loopholes and illogical scenes in the film. Had he taken due care with the story and reworked on the script rather than concentrating on increasing the violence in the content, things would have been different. The routine story, predictable screenplay undid his good intentions. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2/5 rating for Razor.

He tried to entertain viewers with a comedy entertainer in the backdrop of young couple and troubles in their marriage.

There are many silly and illogical scenes in the film including the flashback. The second half is dragged to the core with the thief entry, kidnap episode and also the husband, wife emotions.There are many scenes that lacked clarity and inbetween two twists come. The so called comedy featuring various actors like Motta Rajendran, Sapthagiri, VTV.Ganesh didnot generate any laughs and ended up irritating viewers.Binendra Menon with his cinematography beautifed the film showing the visuals in an appealing manner. However, the same cannot be said about the music and background score tuned by Mickey J Meyer. Background music failed to make any impact and songs didnot register in the minds of anyone.

Lavanya Tripathi worked hard for the project in a sincere and honest manner but Tatineni Satya came up with silly story and from there everything nosedived. Not only the dubbing but also the dialogues turned out to be worst. One cannot believe that Tatineni Satya who once came up with films like SMS and Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu came up with such story. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1 rating for Sathi Leelavathi.

<h2>Mension House Mallesh (2026) Movie: What's Behind</h2>
Srinath Magannti's Mension House Mallesh directed by Bala Satish hit the screens today. The film is releasing on 6 Feb 2026. The film's OTT deal is yet to be finalised. Let us see how the film entertained movie lovers.
<h2>Mension House Mallesh (2026) Movie: Story Review&nbsp;</h2>
Mension House Mallesh story revolves around a wayward drunkard who gets married at the insistence of his mother and how he deals with the after shocks of his marriage. Mallesh (Srinath Maganti) has a wretched past and gets addicted to drinking, and after reuniting with his mother Sankaramma (Padma Nimmanagonti), he enters into wedlock with Jyothi (Gayathri Ramana).
However, his macho posture gets a huge shock and where this leads to and what role his friend Veerraju (Rajkumar Kasireddy), Sudhakar (Muralidhar Goud), his father Bikshapathi (Vishwanath Mandalika), Chinna Patel aka Keshav (Rajhessh), his wife Padma (Sai Kamakshi Bhaskarla) form the interesting part.
<h2>Mension House Mallesh (2026) Movie: Artists Review&nbsp;</h2>
Srinath Maganti performed well in the lead role. He showed the pain of carrying his childhood happennings and dealing with them and also showed his mass angle showing his prowess with rustic and rugged look. He entertained with his mass mannerims and expressions and emotions. He with his screen presence made an impact on the screen with his dialogue delivery.
Rajhessh performed well in the role of the antagonist Patel and the scenes featuring him and Srinath stands out. Gayathri Ramana made her debut and she performed well in the role of a innocent young girl who also takes a bold stand while choosing her life partner.
Rajkumar Kasireddy and Muralidhar Goud made their presence felt with their performances. Vishwabath Mandalika is ok in the role of&nbsp; the lead actor's father. Kamakshi Bhaskarla got limited screen presence and in one scene she came up with powerful performance. Others performed according to their roles.
<h2>Mension House Mallesh Movie: Technicians Review&nbsp;</h2>
Mension House Mallesh story is penned by Bala Satish. Bala Satish came up with a story in the backdrop of a rustic village atmosphere. The story has no new elements and lacks freshness. It starts in a predictable manner and continues in the same vein right from the start to the finish.
He added mass elements and double-meaning dialogues to appeal to B,C centres. He drew inspiration from the films like Ek Mini Katha and others. He took the core point from such kind of films which viewers were treated with earlier and added mass elements to attract.
Few scenes in the first half may appeal to masses but even they cannot sit through all the drinking scenes at the start. The second half turns out to be a patience tester and pre climax turns out to be little decent before the film comes to a happy ending. The story turned out to be routine and predictable and screenplay turned out to be uni dimensional and convenient. Direction followed the familiar traits.
Suresh Bobbili's background music is according to the story and the narration. The songs are situational and didnot make much impact. Ammamuthu's cinematography highlighted the rustic village atmosphere quite well and in a realistic and natural manner. The editing of Garry.BH is ok but could have been better as there are many repetitive scenes that impacted the flow of the narration. Dialogues are penned to attract the masses. Production values are good.

<h2>Mension House Mallesh Movie: Rating Analysis&nbsp;</h2>
Altogether, Mension House Mallesh turns out to be outdated mass entertainer. Srinanth Maganti came up with a spirited performance but director Bala Satish except for adding mass elements, failed to come up with a powerful story. Had he comeup with few powerful characters and freshness in the story, things would have made little different. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Mension House Mallesh.

<h2>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani (2026) Movie: What's Behind</h2>
Sivaji and Laya are coming together to entertain movie lovers with the film titled Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani. The film directed by Sudheer Ram is generating interest as it is named after the hit song from Sivaji's 90s Biopic webseries. The film which was supposed for OTT streaming later opted for theatrical release. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by ETV Win. The film is releasing on 6 Feb 2026. Let us see how the film entertained movie lovers.
<h2>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani: Story Review</h2>
Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani story revolves around a middle class family whose happy life turns upside down due to surprising events and how they overcome them. Sriram (Sivaji) is a honest Panchayat Secretary leading a peaceful life with his wife Uttara (Laya) who craves to get rich and his son Mittu (Rohan) in Horsely Hills. However their life takes a startling turn when Sriram gets involved in a heated argument with the SI Vikram (Prince Cecil). Where this leads to and what role MLA Thimmappa (Sharat Lohitaswa), police&nbsp; officer Sudheer (Dhanraj), Raghava (Ali) form the rest of the narration.
<h2>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani: Artists Review</h2>
Sivaji did well in the role of a honest person who goes all out to save his family when faced with a difficult situation. He showed good expressions and emotions and his bod language is natural and realistic.
Laya complimented him well as the housewife. She did a good job and delivered dialogues accordingly. Roshan is ok in the role of their son.After a longtime, Prince Cecil is see in a key role and he is ok with is performance.&nbsp; Dhanraj performed in a typical manner in the role of the police officer and it is tailormade for him. Ali's role failed to evoke laughs.
Others like Jabardasth Emmanuel, Raj Tirandasu, Karan,Sharath Lohithaswa played their roles accordingly.
<h2>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani: Technicians Review</h2>
Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani story is written by Sudheer Ram. He tried to come up with a hilarious crime thriller and for that he came up with a tried and tested formula. His story drew inspiration from films like Drushyam and many other films alike.
He tried to blend humor and thrills but failed on both fronts. He starts the narration by introducing the protagonist's family as a different one by adding a hilarious touch. However nothing excites. None of the character arcs appeal to viewers as they just pass through the motions and most of the scenes miss logics and had artificial flavor.
The comedy of Sivaji, Laya and Roshan didnot workout as the scenes lacked the strengh and the role of Prince turned out to be silly. Director Sudheer Ram's story, screenplay and direction turned out to be weak and disappointinng. While the first half has routine elements, the second half fared no better as it had artificial elements and this tested the patience of the viewers. Preclimax and Climax turned out to be even more silly.
Cinematography of Ritwik Reddy is ok and BGM of Ranjin Raj is in sync with the narration. The editing of Balu Manoj failed completely. Production values are ok.
<h2>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani: Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Sivaji</li>
<li>Laya</li>
</ul>
<h2>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani: Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Weak Story</li>
<li>Artificial Elements</li>
<li>Missing Humour and Thrills</li>
</ul>
<h2>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani: Rating Analysis</h2>
Altogether, Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani turns out to be spineless treat. Much was expected as it marked the return of Sivaji and Laya as the pair and the film was named after a hit song. However, the director Sudheer Ram came up with a weak story that missed everything. Many such stories came earlier and right from the start till the finish, the script is loaded with artificial elements and illogical scenes. Even on OTT this wouldn't have worked and the makers took a bold decision going for the theatrical release. The makers should have scrutinized the story and script and reworked on the writing before proceeding ahead with the project. Considering all these aspects, Cineosh goes with a 2 star rating for Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani.

<h2>Mrithyunjay (2026) Movie: What's Behind</h2>
Sree Vishnu who came to entertain movie lovers with the film Vishnu Vinyasam, this week is coming to thrill viewers with Mrithyunjay. The film directed by Sri Hussain Sha Kiran&nbsp; is releasing on 6 March 2026. Mrityunjay OTT rights have been acquired by Netflix. Let us see how the film thrilled movie lovers.&nbsp;
<h2>Mrithyunjay Telugu Movie: Story Review</h2>
Mrithyunjay story revolves around a youngster who works in a daily and who aspires to be a crime reporter and the developments that follow his inquisitive and probing eyes.&nbsp;
Jay aka Mrithyunjay (Sree Vishnu), works in a daily and he gets ads for the obituaries with his skills but he aspires to become a crime reporter.&nbsp;
In the midst of all this mysterious deaths make police department to depute ACP Seetha (Reba Monica John) to unravel them.&nbsp;
What is the connection to the obituaries and mysterious deaths , and how it is connected to Saadhu (Veer Aryan), what role his friend Anji (Sudarshan), Satti (Racha Ravi) played from the interesting part.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2>Sree Vishnu's Mrithyunjay: Artists Review</h2>
Sree Vishnu played a completely different&nbsp; role in the film. He slipped into the role effortlessly and did justice to it. He showed good emotions while feeling the pain of a small girl, expressed accordingly when he was not given the crime reporter job and came up with intense expressions while trying to nab the criminal.&nbsp;
Reba Monica John played the role of the ACP.&nbsp; Her role is used just to take the story forward and she didn't get much scope to show her talent. She just passed through the motions.&nbsp;
Veer Aryan played well in the role of the antagonist. He came up with menacing expressions and carried the same through out the film with his body language.
Sudarshan and Racha Ravi are ok in their roles. Others like Ayyappa, Sijju, Aishwarya, Balaaditya, Krishna Koushik, Nandha Gopal, Mirchi Madhavi according to their roles.&nbsp;
<h2>Mrithyunjay Movie: Technicians Review</h2>
Mrityunjay story is penned by Sri Hussain Sha Kiran who worked as the assistant director for Sukumar. He wrote a crime thriller to capture the imagination of all. The narration starts in a slow manner and with Sree Vishnu introduced in a different way, people will be wondering what the director is upto.&nbsp;
However once the mysterious deaths start happening screenplay is in place and the narration picks up pace. Following few cat and mouse games between the hero and the villain, the first half ends with interesting but predictable twist. The second half also continues in the similar manner and the film finally comes to an end bringing the much needed relief to the viewers.&nbsp;
The screenplay is even and uni dimensional for majority of the part. Director tried to come with an investigative thriller, but the so called investigation turns out to be farce. Police are shown as puppets and ACP as a dimwit. Even the race between hero and the villain to go after each other donot excite anyone.
People are witness to such scenes since the olden days and those who expected something new will be completely disappointed. Director missed many logics in the narration and most of the scenes looked silly and even school kids will be laughing instead of getting excited.
Vidya Sagar Chinta's cinematography showed the scenes in a realistic manner. He used the lighting to perfection to show the night scenes in an interesting way. He used the colour combinations accordingly to show the variations in scenes.&nbsp;
Kaala Bhairava with his background music elevated the scenes according to the narration. The editing of Sreekar Prasad is decent except for few repetitive scenes here and there. Production values of Light Box Media, Picture Perfect Entertainment are good.&nbsp;

<h2>Mrithyunjay (2026) Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>
Altogether, Mrithyunjay turns out to be a decent crime thriller. Sree Vishnu came up with a spirited performance and Sri Hussain Sha Kiran tried to thrill viewers with interesting twists. However except for couple of twists everything turned predictable. A little fine-tuning of the script and including few more thrilling elements would have added value to the final result. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Mrithyunjay.&nbsp;

S.Saraswathi story revolves around a mother who goes in search of her missing daughter and the developments in the aftermath and how she deals with them. Lakshmi (Varalakshmi Sarathkumar) much to her shock finds her daughter Saraswathi missing when she goes to pick her from the school.

<h2>S. Saraswathi (2026) Movie: Artists Review</h2>
Varalakshmi Sarathkumar as usual came up with impactful performance. She showed the pain of the mother who is worried about her missing daughter. She expressed and emoted quite well on the screen and made a strong presence on the screen. She also did well as a caring nurse and also as a girl who falls in love. She tried to carry the film on her shoulders.
Prakash Raj as usual came up with subtle and powerful performance. He delivered dialogues in a hardhitting manner and with his screen presence elevated the scenes.Rao Ramesh is good in the role of a judge.&nbsp; Priyamani is fine in her role as the mother while Radhika Sarathkumar, Nassar and Jeeva played the powerful cameos taking the story forward. Others like Srikanth Iyengar, Mime Gopi, Hareesh Peradi, Raghu Babu, Getup Srinu, Venkat, Niveksha ,Pramila Rani performed according to their roles.
<h2>S. Saraswathi Movie: Technicians Review</h2>
S.Saraswathi story is penned by Varalakshmi Sarathkumar. Varalakshmi planned to touch the contemprary and the burning topic of atroticies on women and how justice is denied to them. She tried to add the medical disorder in order to add surprise element to the proceedings and the investigation process.
Initially at the start, this looked interesting but in her effort to thrill viewers taking them to the new heights, she overdid it and altogether in the end, it turned out to be a laughing stock. Except for the so called medical disorder, everything turned out to be routine and predictable. After the so called surprise elements, viewers can predict everything and this turned out to be the biggest backdrop.
While the story turned out to be routine and monotonous, even the narration and screenplay turned out to be repetitive making it a tedious watch to the viewers. The first half comes to an end with a predictable twist and when one expects a better second half, it turns out to be a disappointment.
With the surprise element coming out, Varalakshmi started beating around the bush and the preachy dialogues in the pre climax and climax didnot inspire any confidence. Finally, S.Saraswathi's good intentions got diluted due to Varalakshmi's over enthusiasm and the flat screenplay and direction.
Thaman's music and songs though situational acted as speedbrakers. His background music is in sync with the story. A.M. Edwin Sakay's cinematograhpy is good and showed the scenes in a realistic and believable manner.
Venkat Raajen's editing left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that turned out to be repetitive and slowed the pace of the narration.
Production values of Dosa Diaries are good.
<h2>S. Saraswathi - Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Varalakshmi Sarathkumar</li>
<li>Prakash Raj&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h2>S. Saraswathi - Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Outdated Story</li>
<li>Slow Narration</li>
</ul>
<h2>S. Saraswathi (2026) Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>
Altogether, S.Saraswathi movie turns out to be a preachy outdated drama. Varalakshmi Sarathkumar on debut as a director tried to highlight the problems faced by women and also come up with a powerful hardhitting message oriented film. However, outdated story, repetitive scenes, silly screenplay and serial type narration undid her intentions. Had she reworked on the writing and the script and added few fresh elements, things would have been different. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for S.Saraswathi.

<h2>Son Of (2026) Telugu Movie: What's Behind</h2>
Sai Simhadri as an actor and producer is coming to entertain movie lovers with a film titled Son Of. The film directed by Bathala Sateesh is releasing on 27 Feb 2026. The film's OTT rights are yet to be inked. Let us see what Son of, offered to movie lovers.
<h2>Son Of (2026) Telugu Movie: Story Review</h2>
Son Of story revolves around the estranged relationship between father and son and where it heads to. Anand ( Sai Simhadri) , son of Venkat Rao ( Vinod Kumar) turns out to be a failure in his life, and this changes the relationship between them. What happens when a beautiful girl (Meera Raj) enters his life. Where this leads to form the rest of the developments.&nbsp;
<h2>Son Of (2026) Movie: Artists Review</h2>
Sai Simhadri played the lead role. He looked overaged for the lead role and also one gets a feeling he is not of a hero&nbsp; material. He however with his hardwork impresses in few scenes especially during the pre climax and climax scenes. He danced with ease and delivered dialogues accoring to the situation. He needs to hone his acting skills to reach the next level.
Vinod Kumar is good in the role of the father. He showed the pain of a father when a son goes wayward and makes no efforts to mend himself. His&nbsp; looks however donot appeal to all. Meera Raj who played the female lead performed according to the situation. She looked gorgeous in some scenes on the screen.
Inturi Vasu is fine in the role and others performed as per their roles.
<h2>Son Of (2026) Movie: Technicians Review</h2>
Son Of story is written by Bathala Satish. He tried to come up with a emotional youthful entertainer highlighting the father son relationship. Though the intention is right, many such films came earlier and the story offered nothing new. The narration starts on a predictable note and from then on the entire first half treads with routine and monotonous elements and few irritating stuff with over the top and silly dialogues from both the father and son. When the first half ends, viewers heave a sigh of relief , expecting a better second half.
The second half continues in the same vein with many illogical scenes. However couple of scenes in the run up to the pre climax and climax adds value and connect chords of some viewers. Finally the film ends in a predictable happy manner. Screenplay looked forced and the direction treaded in an aimless manner.
Amarnath's editing left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that looked out of sync and unnecessary to the proceedings. However, he couldn't be faulted as the story itself turned out to be weak. VRK Naidu's cinematography is as per the story and did justice to the scenes. The music is tuned by Rishi is turns out to be average. Songs at times acted a speedbrakers. The background score is ok. Dialogues are artificial and so too are most of the scenes. Production values are just average.
<h2>Son Of (2026) Movie: Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Few Emotions</li>
</ul>
<h2>Son Of (2026) Movie: Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Weak Story</li>
<li>Over the top performances</li>
<li>Forced Scenes</li>
<li>Illogical Elements</li>
</ul>
<h2>Son Of (2026) Telugu Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>
Altogether, Son Of turns out to be a patient tester. Sai Simhadri tested his luck as the lead actor as he himself turned out to be the main drawback. Director Bathala Satish tried to attract viewers highlighting the father son relationship. But the weak story, forced scenes, over the top dialogues and performances of the actors, ended up as a nightmare to the viewers. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1 rating for Son Of.
