&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ramayana has received a boost ahead of its theatrical release, with West Bengal announcing tax free status for the film. The announcement was made around Vijayadashami, adding to the buzz around the mythological drama. The move could help attract more families to theatres by reducing the cost of movie tickets in the state.Tax free status generally means a state offers a concession on its share of applicable entertainment related taxes, where permitted. This can make cinema tickets cheaper and encourage more people to watch the film in theatres. With Ramayana drawing attention across India, moviegoers are now waiting to see whether other state governments will offer similar benefits before its release.Advance bookings for Ramayana have opened across India, giving audiences an early chance to secure tickets. In the Telugu states, however, producer, distributor Dil Raju is reportedly waiting for ticket price hike approvals from the governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana before opening advance bookings there. The final decision could affect the film’s opening collections in the region.Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Produced by Namit Malhotra with Prime Focus Studios, DNEG and Monster Mind Creations, the film features music by Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman.

He was spotted at a private airport in Mumbai on Tuesday morning, surrounded by armed security personnel. Wearing a dark shirt, the actor appeared to be preparing for a trip to Dubai amid fresh security concerns.The firing reportedly took place on October 18 in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Three men on a motorcycle allegedly fired at Tiger Shroff’s car as he left a football ground after practice. Tiger escaped without injuries, but his driver and a bystander were reportedly hurt and taken to hospital. Police began investigating the incident.After the shooting, messages circulated on social media from people claiming links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. They allegedly claimed responsibility and warned Tiger against working with Salman Khan. The authenticity of these claims and the motive behind the attack require confirmation through the ongoing investigation. Security around the actors has drawn renewed attention.The incident has also brought back the long running dispute involving Salman and the Bishnoi community over the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. Lawrence Bishnoi’s cousin Ramesh Bishnoi and singer Anup Jalota reportedly urged Salman to apologise.

Tier 2 heroes are increasingly trying to make larger-than-life films with big worlds, grand visuals and massive action sequences. The aim is to expand their market, but there is a problem. Even a hero's career-best box office numbers may not be enough to reach breakeven.Nani’s The Paradise is a clear example. The film has already registered career-best numbers for Nani, but it has reportedly failed to recover even 80 percent of its investment. This raises a serious question about the budgets being set for Tier 2 heroes. If a film's biggest box office performance is still not enough to recover the investment, the problem could be with the budget itself.There is nothing wrong with filmmakers dreaming big or making films with passion. Bigger films can help heroes expand their market, but cinema is also a business. Producers need to consider what a hero's existing market can realistically support before investing huge amounts.The success ratio in the industry is already low. Spending beyond a hero's market value only makes the risk higher for producers and distributors.The real issue is not making bigger films, but spending more than the market can support. Unless budgets and market value grow together, even a career-best result may not save a film from losses. &nbsp;

The Risk of Spending Beyond a Hero's Market

Why Career Best Numbers Aren't Enough for Tier 2 Heroes

The Congress has stooped to a new low by trying to hijack many of the welfare schemes implemented by YSR though it has to cut a sorry figure when questioned as to why the same schemes have never found presence in any of the Congress-ruled states, YSR Congress has said.
&ldquo;Ghulam Nabi Azad and other leaders claiming that YSR has only implemented arogyasri and other welfare measures, drafted by the Party and Sonia Gandhi, do not stand the scrutiny of time as in no other Congress ruled states were the schemes implemented. It is sheer hijacking of the populist image of YSR,&rdquo; the Party spokesperson Ambati Rambabu told reporters here on Monday.
Free power to farmers, Muslim reservations, Aarogyasri, 104, 108 and other schemes were introduced by YSR for the first time in the country and Congress staking &nbsp;claim is nothing short of usurping the good work done by YSR with political motives, &nbsp;he said.
Ghulam Nabi Azad, who was the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and Union Health minister, is at a loss for words if questioned why he did not implement Muslim reservations and Aarogyasri in Jammu and Kashmir or other states, he said.&nbsp;
Some other states must have emulated Aarogyasri, 104 and 108 but these schemes were first conceived and implemented by YS Rajasekhara Reddy. What Congress is now trying to do is to usurp the fruits of the stupendous success and popularity of the schemes YSR had carefully nurtured, he said.
Free power to farmers was not in the Congress agenda, but YSR went ahead in 2004 with the scheme and even waived famer loans. Congress has never promised free power to farmers in any other State. When YSR vision was well received, he has seen to it that free power to farmers is included in the 2009 election manifesto.
The present Congress Government in the State has done away with all the schemes and did not release funds to 104 and 108 and curtailed the scope of Aarogyasri. Congress leaders are shamelessly taking credit of Aarogryasri and other schemes to gain political mileage, but people know as to who is the architect of the welfare schemes and told in very clear terms during the recent by-polls, he said. &nbsp; &nbsp;
This apart, YSR has promised that there will be no hike in power tariff or increase in bus fares and kept his word. After his death, Congress government has steeply increased power charges and bus fares thrice, he said.
Ahead of the 2009 elections, YSR had held a rededication meet at the same venue where the Congress conducted its extensive general body meeting on Sunday. YSR had told about his achievements and told his future plans. Congress gave a go by to such healthy practices, he said.&nbsp;
Training his guns on K Chiranjeevi, he questioned why he merged PRP with Congress and at what price. The deal was to get ministerial berths in State and Centre and the film star turned politician speak of integrity does not go well after the unaccounted money stashed away at his daughter&rsquo;s Chennai residence come to light, he said adding that he could not retain the Tirupati seat in spite of the joint efforts of PRP and Congress.
Chiranjeevi has no moral right to speak of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy after the sell out his PRP to Congress. He has been parroting the same allegations leveled by TDP leaders of running the party from jail using cellphone. This shows the wave length of Congress and TDP is the same, he said.

Congress hijacking YSR schemes: YSRCP

Till some years ago, Power Star Pawan Kalyan was severely criticized by his critics about his involvement in the direction department. Though his critics felt it was an involvement and interruption, no director of Pawan Kalyan, as of now, openly criticized about his involvement in direction. Instead, they felt it was a healthy involvement.&nbsp;
Apparently, Pawan Kalyan has changed a lot these days as no news of his involvement in the direction department in his recent movies has been noticed. He gave complete freedom to Harish Shankar and thus 'Gabbar Singh' turned out to be a blockbuster. He has not involved in the making of his recent flick 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu'. That's why the director, Puri Jagannadh, showed his favouritism on some of the politicians in the movie. And the latest we heard is that Pawan Kalyan is completely depending upon the director, Trivikram, for his next movie 'Sarada'( tentative). In this process of depending on his directors, Pawan Kalyan is unknowingly teaching a lesson to his critics.&nbsp;

Pawan's Perfect Answer to his Critics

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.

Crazy Kalyanam Review

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

Mayookha(2026) Movie: What's BehindPayal Chengappa, Dev D's thriller Mayookha, directed by Shree Tej, is releasing on 9 October 2026. Let us find out how the film entertained movie lovers.Mayookha(2026) Movie: Story ReviewMayookha's story revolves around the startling happenings in the life of a young and beautiful professional and how she deals with them.Mayookha (Payal Chengappa), a bank professional, experiences mysterious happenings in her apartment at night. What are these happenings?

She lived in the role of a middle-class girl who showed variations in expressions, exhibiting fear, innocence and shyness.Dev Shashank performed well in the role of a police officer. He is impressive with his screen presence. Muralidhar Goud is good in the role of the father. He got limited screen presence.Lavanya Rani, Charishma Dabbara, Aman Masud and others performed according to their roles.Mayookha(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMayookha story is penned by Shree Tej SK. He chose a new concept in thrillers, and it is phrogging, which has never been touched in Tollywood. He managed to generate interest with the twists and turns to some extent. The first half starts in an interesting manner with the murder and then the fears and psychological behaviour of the girl, generating curiosity about whether she is in danger or hallucinating.The second half turns racy after the first half takes time to pick up pace due to the introduction of characters and their behaviours. The unravelling of twists and also the half an hour in the run-up to the climax takes the viewers to another level. However, once the final twist is revealed, the film's pace dips. The antagonist in the climax tests the patience of the viewers with his monologuing.The background music of Sibi Mathew Alex is good. It increased the intensity levels in the story. The cinematography of Farhan Vadakkan is good. It showed the scenes in an impactful manner. Sharat J's editing could have been better, as there are drags in the narration. Production values are good.Mayookha Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Payal Chengappa</li><li>New Concept</li><li>Few Twists</li></ul>Mayookha Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Gory Scenes</li><li>Routine Shades</li></ul>Mayookha(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Mayookha turns out to be an interesting thriller on a new concept, phrogging. Payal Chengappa performed well, and the director Shree Tej's story included a few interesting twists and turns with a racy screenplay. He took a lot of time to enter the main plot in the first half, and it diluted the essence. A few predictable elements, slow pace undid the good work. The gory scenes could have been toned down completely. A little fine-tuning of the script and interesting twists would have added more firepower. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Mayooka. &nbsp;

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

Chakkora -The Lunar Bird(2026) Movie: What's BehindChakkora The Lunar Love Bird is releasing on 9 October 2026. Interest levels are decent on the film as it is helmed by Manga Srinivas, a protege of dashing director Puri Jagannath.Chakkora -The Lunar Bird(2026) Movie: Story ReviewChakkora The Lunar Love Bird story revolves around a youngster who goes to any extent for the girl he gets attracted to and &nbsp;how he deals with the happenings in his life thereafter.Ravana ( Sravan) gets attracted and goes all out to win the heart of the beautiful girl Jabili aka Julie ( Malaika Vasupal).

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.

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;

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.

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. The performances disappoints in no time while director Jason Vijay who hails from Gen Z shocks all with this outdated duty. Many such films came earlier and he offered nothing new. 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.

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.

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.

Thella Kaagitham

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi on Monday rejected the tributes paid to Telangana martyrs during the Congress party's state-level convention.
Talking to reporters here, TRS MLA K Tarakarama Rao said that the martyrs were not paid tributes, but insulted by the Congress party. He said it appeared as if "murderers" were paying tributes to their victims. Describing the Congress leaders from the Telangana as "slaves" of Seemandhra leaders, he said it was shocking that those leaders want to continue with a party where they were forced to fight even to pay tributes to the martyrs.
Rejecting the tributes, KTR said that the souls of Telangana martyrs would never rest in peace due to the way homage was paid to them during the Congress meeting.
