Now a days big banners are not just focussing on film producing but also on having their own production setup. A top production house is planning to come up with a huge studio spiralling around hundreds of actres. If this is true than , there will be drastic changes in the shooting plans in Tollywood. If a top banner from Tollywood invests so much money on infrastructure, then it will not just be a shooting spot.In the longterm, the eco system may contemplate on having different shooting sets, indoor floors, post production under one roof. This will reduce the dependencey on outsiders for all the small things. Now many pan India films are coming and many are on the anvil. Under these circumstances makers have huge tensions in production planning. If they have a own setup, they can easily plan the schedeules of various films easlily.They can have regular sets as it is and this will reduce the waiting time for the locations and complete the shooting at quick pace. Apart from it, when a banner is coming up with 2-3 films at a time, this model will help superbly. Producers can handle multiple projects without any tensions and confusion. They can complete the films without compromising on the quality. Now a days filmmaking is not just Camera and Action but they need strong technical support to compete at global level.---- Pramod Nandivada

Hyderabad,&nbsp; Aug 13:-
&nbsp;The Telugu Desam party&nbsp; on Thursday demanded&nbsp; that the State&nbsp; Government&nbsp; should allocate funds&nbsp; to&nbsp; tackle the&nbsp; drought situation in the State.&nbsp; The Government&nbsp; should shun its negligent attitude towards this drought situation&nbsp; and&nbsp; come up with novel schemes&nbsp; to tackle the&nbsp; drought situation.
In their&nbsp; effort&nbsp; to draw the attention&nbsp; of the Government on the&nbsp; drought situation in the&nbsp; state,&nbsp; the TDP MLAs&nbsp; along with left parties&nbsp; held&nbsp; a dharna&nbsp; at Gun Park in&nbsp; front of the assembly.
Speaking on the occasion, the&nbsp; TDP&nbsp; chief Chandrababu Naidu alleged that the&nbsp; Congress is&nbsp;&nbsp; abusing the&nbsp; TDP MLAs and&nbsp; suspending them from the assembly whenever the TDP members&nbsp; tried&nbsp; to draw the attention&nbsp; of the Government&nbsp; on the drought&nbsp; situation in the state.
He hit out&nbsp; strongly at the Congress saying&nbsp; that&nbsp; when the farmers are&nbsp; committing&nbsp; suicides&nbsp; due to lack of&nbsp; drinking water&nbsp; and&nbsp; water for irrigation,&nbsp; the Congress Government are watching the&nbsp; situation like&nbsp; silent spectators.
The&nbsp; very fact&nbsp; that&nbsp; farmers are committing suicides in the state&nbsp; because of&nbsp; drought situation&nbsp; is a shameful thing on the part of the Government, he&nbsp; lamented.
The assembly should set aside the norms and&nbsp; discuss the&nbsp; drought situation in the&nbsp; state. This is one of the&nbsp; worst&nbsp; droughts the state has ever faced in the last&nbsp; 50 years.&nbsp;&nbsp; At such a time&nbsp; is it not&nbsp; reasonable&nbsp; to set aside the norms and&nbsp; discuss the drought situation&nbsp; in the assembly, he questioned the&nbsp; Congress party in the state.
&nbsp;Whenever&nbsp; discussions are held in the assembly on the&nbsp; drought situations in the state,&nbsp; the ministers&nbsp; leave the assembly without&nbsp; giving&nbsp; any proper&nbsp; reply, he&nbsp; bemoaned.
When the Centre&nbsp; has called for a&nbsp; report on the drought situation in the&nbsp;&nbsp; state, the State Government&nbsp; so far&nbsp; has not&nbsp; responded. This&nbsp; clearly explains the&nbsp; negligent attitude&nbsp; adopted&nbsp; by the Congress towards&nbsp; drought situation in the state.
He urged the Government&nbsp; to swing into action before the&nbsp; situation goes out of control and&nbsp; the farmers rebel.
TRS calls for&nbsp; subsidy on seeds and fertilizers
Meanwhile&nbsp; Telangana Rashtra Samiti&nbsp; has also&nbsp; come out&nbsp; strongly demanding the State Government&nbsp; to take&nbsp; necessary steps&nbsp; in tackling the drought situation. The TRS leader&nbsp; Harish Rao speaking on the occasion urged the&nbsp; Government&nbsp; to&nbsp; provide the&nbsp; farmers&nbsp; with&nbsp;&nbsp; required seeds and&nbsp; fertilizers at&nbsp; subsidized prices. As many&nbsp; of the farmers are committing&nbsp; suicides&nbsp; being&nbsp; unable to cope up with the&nbsp; drought situation, the&nbsp; Government should&nbsp; stand by them&nbsp;&nbsp; and give&nbsp; them&nbsp; the&nbsp; moral support&nbsp; to tide over the crisis situations.

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

He showed good expressions and emotions and endeared to all with his performance. Vasavi Ganeshan played the female role and her mannerisms, expressions and dialogue delivery connected chords with all the youth. She stole the show with her cute looks . She not only came up with energetic screen presence but also emoted well during the touching scenes.Prani Reddy did well in the role of Vasavi's cousin. Govardhan Reddy is good in the role of Vasavi's father. He emoted well, showing good expressions seeing his mother in his daughter. Ramesh Nakirenti and Sunitha Manohar are good in the roles of the parents of Anush Thorat. Anji Valguman performed well in an important role.Husharu Pittalu(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewHusharu Pittalu story is penned by Bikshu Yadav.

In order to connect chords with both these divergent sections, he loaded the first half with youthful elements and the second half with emotional elements trying to drive home the message.Though there are many bold scenes and dialogues in the first half, it connects chords with the youngsters as it was shown in an entertaining manner loaded with humorous elements. The interval block sets the stage for the second half. While the screenplay is racy and narration is quite fast paced in the first half, the second half narration slides down with monotonous elements. The preachy dialogues and repetitive scenes put off viewers. Finally the movie ends in a predictable manner.The music of Charan Arjun is good. The title song already became a chartbuster and it is choreographed in a good way on the screen. His background music is in sync with the story. Marthand K Venkatesh's editing is quite good in the first half. The pace in the second half dips due to repetitive scenes and intense emotions. He could have done away with the repetitive scenes. The cinematography of Rudra Sai is good. He showed the rural village atmosphere in a natural and rustic manner. Dialogues connect to youth in the first half and in the second half they become preachy and may put off a few of them. Production values are good.Husharu Pittalu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eaab4a7a9e69c99fad177be7679382d4f">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="ec182423bbc4828372cd61b4e74ee9604">Message</li></ul>Husharu Pittalu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e913fb5f4c84e11e39b49e0469f2264c2">Routine Shades</li><li data-list-item-id="e44d6a80f9a4838f881111f6615e26a29">Bold scenes involving minors</li></ul>Husharu Pittalu(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Husharu Pittalur turns out to be a decent, predictable youthful entertainer. Anush Thorat and Vasavi Ganeshan came up with spirited performances and director Bikshu Yadav starts in an entertaining way with youthful elements connecting chords with genex viewers ending the first half quite on a high note. When everyone expected a more entertaining second half, he turned preachy with monotonous elements and this slowed the pace of the narration and impacted the final output. The overdoing of bold scenes involving minors with just a statutory warning that it is a crime under POCSO act will put off right thinking people. Many will be under the impression that the makers included these scenes to attract genex viewers and then wash off their hands with a message in the climax. A little finetuning of the script, and attention to the second half would have added more power to the final output. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Husharu Pittalu.

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

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

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

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

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

Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for KJQ.

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

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

The promotions generated interest and let us see what the webseries offered to movielovers.Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Story ReviewObjection My Lord story revolves around an advocate and the case he argues where a father immolates following the disappearance of his daughter. The shocking incident of Narayana(Rayala Harischandra) who immolates himself following the mysterious disappearance of his daughter Sameera(Snehal Kamath), forces promising lawyer Parasuram (Srikanth) to come out of exile.Why Parasuram was in exile, what are the circumstances that forced him to do so, how it is connected to influential lawyer Viswanath (Mukesh Rishi), promising young lawyer Vedha (Ananya Sharma),CI Damu (Sameer), form the interesting part of the narration.Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Artists ReviewSrikanth breathed life into the story. He performed well showing variations according to the situation. He showed good emotions highlighting personal and professional problems. He made his presence felt in the scenes involving courtroom drama. Though such roles are tailor made for him, he added value with his performance.Mukesh Rishi is seen after a longtime and he made an impact. However his character lacked depth and under developed. Rayala Harischandra played the role of the father in a natural manner elevating the emotions. Ananya Sharma impressed with her energetic performance. Snehal Kamath did well highlighting the emotions in her role. She in fact lived in her role. Sameer is good in his role and so was Gemini Suresh.Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Technicians ReviewObjection My Lord story is penned by director Santosh Ayyappan. The series comes with 7 episodes and each episode has the duration of 25-35 minutes. Many gripping courtroom dramas like Amitabh Bachchan's Pink and its remake Pawan Kalyan's Vakeel Saab came. He drew inspiration from them and tried to tell them in a realistic way.The narration starts in an interesting manner and the director does well balancing both sides of the views. The first three episodes keep the interest levels intact, but when one expects it to reach the next level with intense courtroom arguments, the director loses steam.From then on everything turns repetitive, testing the patience of the viewers. The slow pace of the narration ends up irritating the people. Dialogues turnout to be pretty ordinary. The expected emotions and drama in the courtroom arguments goes missing completely. Even the character arcs are not created properly after the initial introduction. The series and the narration lacked the required twists and turns.The first four episodes are predictable and offer no real twists. The fifth episode had a small twist but it did not excite anyone. The entry of Sameera only generates little interest. Many characters and their relations are not established properly and also there are many illogical scenes and convenient episodes.The background score of Anil Chiluvuru is good. However the cinematography of Suryaa and editing of Kishore turned out to be below average. Production values are decent.Objection My Lord Web Series: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e1d2e423b3717267070631790295a3795">Srikanth</li><li data-list-item-id="e782ee30177a02763c3ae97ef22e048c9">Few Scenes in The Court</li></ul>Objection My Lord Web Series: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eb04034c28c29b4175bc19f6385771c34">Missing Confrontation</li><li data-list-item-id="e44cd351a8887c6d22de6b4060954a7b1">Slow Narration</li></ul>Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Rating AnalysisObjection My Lord turns out to be a pretty ordinary, subpart courtroom drama. Srikanth came up with a spirited performance and carried the episodes on his shoulders but director Santosh Ayyappan failed to generate interest with his substandard screenplay and direction. He failed completely to create a gripping conflict and the weak characters spoiled the essence. He should have worked hard on the script and screenplay and character arcs to connect chords with the viewers. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Objection My Lord.

Karmakhya (2026) Movie: What's BehindSamuthirakhani, Abhirami's Karmakhya directed by Abhinaya Krishna generated interest with gripping teaser and trailer. The film released on 31 July 2026. Let us see what Karmakhya offered to movie lovers.Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Story ReviewKarmakhya story revolves around a young girl and the happens in her life when she tries to help her friend and how she deals with them. Kaamakhya (Samaira) volunteers to help her friend Pravillika (Saranya Pradeep) by meeting her client to enable her to attend her family wedding.However Kaamakhya's decision turns her life drastically. What happens to Kaamakhya, what roles SI Tirupathi (Samuthirakhani), Abhirami (Sarojini), her husband (Anand), Pragya (Aishwarya) and others played form rest of the narration.Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSamaira on debut came up with spirited performance. She played the lead role and her intensity helped to maintain the interest levels through out the film. She emoted and expressed well and also came up with impactful dialogues. She even expressed through her eyes.Abhirami looked good on the screen. She is intense in her expressions and emotions and increased the seriousness and ferocity in her character. Anand is fine in the role of Abhirami's husband in the film. He at the start evoked sympathy and then the twist surprises. Samuthirakhani made his presence felt showing different shades with ease.Madhunandan, Vaishnav, Dhanraj, Raghava, Aishwarya, Gaddam Naveen passed through the motions. The comedy scenes featuring Dhanraj, Rocket Raghava and others didnot get the desired result.Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewThe story of Karmakhya is penned by Abhinaya Krishna. He tried to come up with a thriller based on the spiritual elements. He starts the narration revealing the importance of Kaamakhya Sakthi Peetham in Guwahati but the introduction of other characters slowed the pace of the film.The narration picks of pace in a slow and steady manner and it reaches peaks once the characters of Abhirami and others are introduced. But once again the Samuthirakhani character puts off all initially with the weak role. The second half screenplay turns out to be racy and director decided to concentrate on main plot rather than spend time on unnecessary comedy scenes. The twists and the climax take the film to the next level.Kushender Ramesh Reddy with his cinematography added value to the narration. He with his camera angles got the desired impact on the screen. Gyaani's background music elevated the scenes and ensured the narration sails smoothly maintaining the same tempo. The editing of Sree Varaprasad is ok but could have been better as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are decent and production values are good.Karmakhya Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ecbf06dff5d988187173efeb800a4c6d4">Samaira, Abhirami</li><li data-list-item-id="e1cce435ac441106b8c3d246d67a8ef62">Few Twists</li></ul>Karmakhya Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0bb35decba20c6c73dc8a275427532aa">Lack of Interesting Elements</li><li data-list-item-id="ee54643c4aaf85742fc8bfe6a351357c1">Repetitive Scenes</li></ul>Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether Karmakhya &nbsp;turns out to be an average thriller. Debutante Samaira, Abhirami, and Anand came up with good performances and Samuthirakhani made an impact in the climax. Director Abhinaya Krishna tried to impress viewers with the blend of supernatural and thrilling elements touching on the witchcraft rituals and human sacrifices. However, the deviations in the start, slow pace in the narration and repetitive scenes undid all his good intentions. Rework on the script, a racy screenplay and few more twists and turns and doing away with mundane elements would have added value to the final outcome.

He slipped into the role of the police officer with effortless ease and showed good mannerisms. His body language and screen presence elevated the scenes. He showed variations in emotions and expressions and also in dialogue delivery. At times, he expressed through his eyes.Trinadh Varma played the role of the youngster who gets sandwiched between his own parents and that of his quarrelling parents and how he acts in pressure and frustration. Gowtham Pandit in the role of his friend is good and both helped the narration to carry forward.Shelly Kumar played the role of the mother to perfection.

He drew inspiration from physics' popular Newton's Third Law and came up with a crime thriller. He started the narration without wasting time showing the investigation scenes of the murder. The first half goes at a steady pace with narration intact except for few drags here and there. The screenplay is racy and with twists coming now and then, the first half turns out to be a decent watch.This set the tone for the interesting second half. While many expected the investigation to take off to new heights, the director Karna concentrated on highlighting the emotions and this impacted the pace of the narration. The screenplay went for the toss and this put off the viewers disconnecting them completely.To the top of it, the uneven pace, convoluted screenplay and investigation detailing instead of showing in action, concluding in dialogues, turned out to be a huge disappointment. What started as a thrilling ride turned out to be a bumpy ride in the end.The cinematography of Veda Vyas Gottipati showed the scenes in a natural and impactful manner. He used the camera angles and color combinations to maximum impact to show night scenes in an effective and realistic way. Anil Palasa's editing turned out to be a mixed bag. His editing is tight for most of the first half but he lost focus in the second half including many unnecessary and repetitive scenes.The background music of Sinjith Yerramilli created a good impact and elevated the scenes to the next level taking viewers into the narration keeping the interest levels intact. The songs however acted as the speed brakers. Dialogues are natural and realistic and at times thought provoking. Production values are good.Newton 3rd Law Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e1fb0fcbb2c1086e133fadcfc60027542">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="e69662aad939f2c7993e37ca0dd29490a">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="ecaa509e1b3102d9243f5c80e72225aa1">Cinematography</li></ul>Newton 3rd Law Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e3dc194135b3cc997c1963b02c79f7255">Repetitive Scenes</li><li data-list-item-id="eecc1a66bcdc7d4abc06fb18622abb7e3">Confusing Screenplay</li></ul>Newton 3rd Law(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Newtons 3rd Law turns out to be a decent investigative thriller. Director Rajesh Karna got optimum output from the cast and crew. He maintained the pace and tempo in the narration with out any deviations most of the first half setting the tone for the interesting second half. However in the second half, emotions dominates the investigation elements and this hampered the pace of the narration with unnecessary elements. Had he toned down the emotional scenes and included more interesting twists and turns highlighting the investigation procedure and process, things would have been different. The story is decent and screenplay is racy for most of the first half before going for the toss in the second half. Little finetuning of the script would have added more punch to the final output. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Newtons 3 Law.

The film generated interest as it marks the debut of superstar Krishna's grandson, Ramesh Babu's son, and Mahesh Babu's nephew Jai Krishna, and Bollywood beauty Raveena Tandon's daughter Rasha Thadani's entry into Tollywood. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by Amazon Prime. Let us find out what the film offers to movie lovers.&nbsp; Srinivasa Mangapuram Story ReviewSrinivasa Mangapuram story revolves around two youngsters and how their lives change drastically when they fall in love. Srinu ( Jai Krishna) lands in Tirupathi and gets attracted towards a beautiful girl, Manga ( Rasha Thadani), daughter of influential person Peddi Reddy ( Kick Shyam).Where this leads to, what roles Venkatappayya Naidu(Mohan Babu ), Balu ( Brahmaji), Swantra Babu ( Naresh), Vara (Vasuki), Lakshmipathi (Ajay), and others from the interesting part. Srinivasa Mangapuram Artists ReviewJai Krishna on debut worked hard to show his talent. He made an impact with his screen presence. He looked charming, young, and exuberant and impressed with his innocent looks and dialogue delivery. He enacted stunts in a stylish and with effortless ease. He is ok on screen and should hone his expressions and emotions to reach the next level of stardom. Be it dialogues, expressions, mannerisms, dialogue delivery, body language, Jai krishna imitated his uncle Mahesh Babu.Rasha Thadani looked good on screen on her Tollywood debut. She, however, came up with a singular expression. She expressed well in a few scenes. At times she looked gorgeous.Mohan Babu added value with his screen presence. However, his character is not developed at all and it is a huge disappointment. Kick Shyam made an impact with his performance. Naresh and Brahmaji failed with their comedy that is cringe to the core. Ajay, Vasuki and others just passed through the motions.&nbsp;Srinivasa Mangapuram Technicians ReviewSrinivasa Mangapuram story is penned by Ajay Bhupathi. He tried to entertain viewers with an intense love story in the action backdrop. Right from the start till the finish, much to the shock to all he followed the same routine outdated formula which wouldn't have worked even two decades back.The narration has the same commercial elements, hero introduction, hero-heroine romantic track, stunts and songs, etc. The first half is full of such scenes, and the narration goes on testing the patience of all with slow pace, predictable screenplay, and outdated story.The hope of better second half nosedives completely with even more monotonous scenes. After a point of time, people look towards the exit door for respite. Even the entry of Mohan Babu doesn't improve the narration and add value to the proceedings.The music tuned GV Prakash Kumar tuned offered nothing new. The songs just come and go like a template and do not add any value to the narration and story. Instead, they turned out to be speed brakers. The background score tuned by GV Prakash Kumar elevated few scenes.Jayakrishna Gummadi with his Cinematography showed the Tirupati locations and proceedings in an appealing manner. He, with his camera angles, showed the scenes naturally.The editing of Madhav Kumar Gullapalli left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. However, he couldn't be blamed because as had he been diligent, there wouldn't have been any film. Dialogues are routine and pretty ordinary. Production values are decent.Srinivasa Mangapuram Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ea182c9450686c2bc3b99ca8c7e5f143a">Jai Krishna</li></ul>Srinivasa Mangapuram Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e9b1f83f9f4b3f01107c00f39577c231b">Redundant, Obsolete Story</li><li data-list-item-id="ee4c0d4a35e1a30346d3987bbd3b9903d">Screenplay, Direction</li></ul>Srinivasa Mangapuram Rating AnalysisAltogether, Srinivasa Mangapuram is an outdated romantic action entertainer. Expectations increased over Jai Krishna's debut as he is the super Star Krishna's grandson. Many expected Ajay Bhupathi to come with a film that connects chords with the genex movie lovers. Jai Krishna put in sincere effort and his hard work is seen in the intense performance on the screen. But Ajay Bhupathi failed to do justice to the trust shown by Ajay Bhupathi. He disappointed everyone with the outdated story, patience testing screenplay and direction. Wonder how the project was given the green signal. No amount of tweaking the script would have changed the fortunes. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 &nbsp;rating for Srinivasa Mangapuram.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Nivi (Sri Gouri Priya) after the disturbing happenings in her life comes happens to meet an aspiring filmmaker Steven Shankar (Kiran Abbavaram) and where this leads to and what role Ajay (Thrigun) played form rest of the developments.Chennai Love Story (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewKiran Abbavaram virtually lived in the role. Kiran Abbavaram showed variations in his body language as an orphan and also as a youngster who falls in love. He delivered dialogues expressing and emoting according to the situation. His screen presence added value to the proceedings.Sri Gouri Priya played the lead role, and she elevated the scenes with her performance. However as she played the role of a girl who suffers breakup, she came up with strong emotions and powerful and emotional performance and dialogue delivery.Thrigun played his role to the perfection. He helped the narration carry forward with his performance. &nbsp;Siri Hanumanthu, Mahender, Naveen, Pooja &nbsp;performed well in the role of friends. Pramodini, Devi Prasad did well in the role of parents while Karuna Kumar played a key role. Star Tamil director P.Vasu appeared in a cameo.Chennai Love Story (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewChennai Love Story is penned by Sai Rajesh and it is directed by Ravi Namburi. The first half sails smoothly with simple scenes like introduction of the hero and heroine and few comedy scenes before the blossoming of romance. The interval twist comes as a surprise element.The interval twist sets the stage for the second half and once again it starts with the pain and agony of the female lead. Few comedy scenes and interval twist is ok but only people who do not see logics can enjoy the second half. Even that is dragged to the core with unnecessary scenes and this undid all the decent work in the first half.The pre climax action sequence is creative and attracts all and the emotional climax brings curtain to the film in a decent manner.Viswas Daniel's cinematography is visually rich. The color pallets he chose is apt and added value to the output. The songs tuned by Mani Sharma are melodious and shot in the backdrop of beautifully erected sets. He elevated the scenes with his background music. Editing of Santosh Naidu is ok but could have been better as there are repetitive scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues on love and life are thought provoking and impactful. Production values are grand.Chennai Love Story Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="efd325f983e7f325c9320fca22b2c0002">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="e008a06084dfb8e138f8820d2500a1684">Cinematography</li><li data-list-item-id="ee2cfaf18e1de79ae7761803f69cf36f8">Music, BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="ee35764f3e235e821dd1d2542bd25b11b">Emotions</li></ul>Chennai Love Story Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eed5a8bd8b0f1acd50348be2b03b7bf8e">Convenient Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="e7fab662811360ebf7e6be026f1384802">Few Repetitive Scenes</li></ul>Chennai Love Story (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Chennai Love Story turns out to be a predictable romantic entertainer. Kiran Abbavaram and Sri Gouri Priya came up with spirited performances and director Ravi Namburi started the narration in a simple manner before turning the first half into a decent one with good twist. When one expected the film to take off to new heights in the second half, it slips down with dragged narration and illogical scenes. The emotional scenes and conflict has been highlighted quite well in the first half and the twist comes at a good time but he failed to maintain the same tempo in the second half.A little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay would have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Chennai Love Story.
