Mass director Boyapati Srinu appears to have a strong contender for his next project, with Tamil star Karthi emerging as the latest name linked to his plans. At the Sardar 2 pre-release event, Boyapati revealed that he and Karthi had held several story discussions earlier, renewing speculation about their long awaited collaboration.Boyapati is known for high voltage action, powerful hero elevations and emotional family drama. After delivering blockbusters such as Akhanda and Sarrainodu, the filmmaker has continued exploring commercial entertainers. His previous projects Skanda and Akhanda 2, however, did not match the expectations created by his earlier successes, increasing curiosity around his next move.Interestingly, Boyapati revealed that he had previously narrated multiple stories to Karthi, including the concept that eventually became Sarrainodu. Karthi had reportedly suggested changes to that story, but Boyapati did not pursue them. The filmmaker later narrated two more ideas, but neither materialised, making their proposed collaboration a recurring topic.Karthi currently has several commitments, including Karthi 30 with Mad director Kalyan Shankar and Meenakshi Chaudhary, Marshal in Tamizh direction, while Kaithi 2 is also confirmed to be in development. He has additionally teased HIT 4. With his packed schedule, the Boyapati - Karthi project will depend on the right script and suitable production timeline. - Veda &nbsp;

His latest release Irumudi, directed by Shiva Nirvana, reportedly emerged as a major commercial success after its August 21 release, delivering a career best theatrical run and strengthening Ravi Teja’s position at the box office.Before Irumudi arrived, several reports questioned Ravi Teja’s market and even claimed that he had agreed to work without a conventional remuneration.

Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: What's BehindAnand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya are back together after their impressive combination in Baby. This time, they are paired in Epic First Semester, directed by Aditya Haasan. The film carries the curiosity of exploring the journey of a young man who lands in the UK and experiences love, relationships and life away from home. Let us see what surprises Epic First Semester has in store.Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: Story ReviewThe story revolves around Aditya, an aspiring filmmaker who lands in the UK against his wishes because of his parents Chandrashekhar and Rani.An introvert who has hardly interacted with girls suddenly finds himself in a completely new environment. His meeting with Kadali changes his world, and their relationship gradually moves through love, live-in life, emotional confusion, and the realities of a serious relationship.The situations they face and where their relationship finally heads form the rest of the story.Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAnand Deverakonda performs well as Aditya. He brings innocence and vulnerability to the character and is particularly good in scenes involving his introverted nature and discomfort in a new environment.Vaishnavi Chaitanya gets a contrasting character and does justice to the role. Her mood swings and emotional changes are handled reasonably well. The chemistry between Anand and Vaishnavi works in several portions, although it does not reach the intensity of their Baby combination.Sivaji and Vasuki have limited scope as Anand's parents but make their presence felt. Srinivas Gavi Reddy gets a few laughs as Manoj. Kalyan Shankar is decent in his role as Sinjith. The remaining actors perform according to their roles.Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewAditya Haasan starts the film on an interesting note by taking the character of Aditya into a new phase of his life. The idea of showing what happens when an innocent youngster grows up and lands in a foreign country has potential.The first half has enough lively moments to keep the proceedings moving. The relationship between Aditya and Kadali develops naturally in parts, and the film becomes more engaging once their equation takes a serious turn.The second half is where the film loses some momentum. The relationship discussions, pregnancy fears, marriage and practical problems provide the central conflict, but the film does not always create enough tension around them.Still, unlike a completely routine romantic drama, the film has a few emotionally relatable situations. The conflict may be small, but some of the characters and conversations manage to hold attention. The climax could have been stronger. The open ending is clearly designed to leave scope for the next chapter, but it does not deliver the expected emotional punch.Hesham Abdul Wahab's music is one of the film's positives. The songs are melodious and suit the mood of the story. His background score is also decent. Azeem Mohammad's cinematography gives the film a pleasant look. The UK locations are captured beautifully and add freshness to the proceedings.Navin Nooli's editing is adequate, though some portions could have been trimmed. The dialogues are mostly natural, with a few bold conversations adding flavour. Production values are good.Epic Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Anand Deverakonda's performance</li><li>Vaishnavi Chaitanya's performance</li><li>Music And BGM</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Some relatable relationship moments</li><li>First half</li></ul>Epic Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Slow second half</li><li>Limited conflict</li><li>Repetitive conversations</li><li>Climax</li><li>Emotional impact could have been stronger</li></ul>Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisEpic First Semester is a decent attempt at presenting the emotional journey of an introvert youngster experiencing love and relationships in a foreign country.The biggest advantage is that the film does not completely depend on artificial twists or forced drama. Anand and Vaishnavi bring a certain naturalness to their characters, and their chemistry works in several scenes.At the same time, the simple conflict becomes both the strength and weakness of the film. The situations are relatable, but the screenplay sometimes takes too long to move forward. A tighter edit could have made the film considerably more engaging.The film also misses some of the entertainment and emotional intensity that made Baby such a talking point. However, Epic First Semester has enough good moments, decent performances and soothing music to make it a one-time watch for viewers who enjoy relationship dramas.Considering these elements, CineJosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Epic First Semester.

Maremma (2026) Movie: What's BehindMaremma directed by Manchala Nagaraj is generating immense interest among movie lovers as it marks the debut of Mass Raja Ravi Teja's nephew Maadhav on the screen. The film is reieasing on 10 Sep 2026. Let us see what impact Maadhav made on debut with Maremma on movie lovers.Maremma (2026) Movie: Story ReviewMaremma story revolves around a youngster who develops a strong bonding with a bison and the surprising happenings involving both of them. Karni (Maadhav Bhupathiraju) raises a calf which becomes a bison(Maari) and he has to perform a ritual. But just before the ritual, startling developments happen. Where this leads to and how it is connected to Manju (Deepa Balu), Jalandhar (Vikas Vasishta), Uttam (Maneesh), occult practitioner (Rupa Lakshmi), form the exciting part.Maremma (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewMaadhav got the tall physique and looks. However on debut despite his best efforts he failed to get his basics right. He failed with his expressions and emotions and looked a complete mismatch. He should hone his skills rigorously and seriously to sustain in the industry.Deepa Balu fared better than him. But her characterisation turned out to be weak and did not offer much scope to show her acting talent. Vinod Kumar as a villager got limited and inconsequential role.Vikas Vasishta is good on the screen. Rupa Lakshmi made an impact with her performance. Others performed according to their roles.Maremma (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMaremma story is penned by Manchala Nagaraj. He tried to attract all with an impactful story in the rustic Telangana backdrop. Many films with Telangana backdrop and accent came earlier and Maremma completely failed on all fronts as the story turned out to be weak and script became spineless. The writing and screenplay did not inspire any confidence and direction failed to justice in any manner.With routine and outdated story and despite the claims of based on real life incidents, the film failed to generate interest. There is not a single scene in the film that generated interest among movie lovers. Everything turned out to be a tedious watch. Even the so called comedy scenes looked forced and senseless. The romantic track turned out to be another weak point and the entire second half which revolves around finding the missing bison, is redundant with repetitive scenes testing the patience of the viewers. The pre climax and climax are stretched to the core and finally when the film ended, viewers heave a sigh of relief.Prashanth R. Vihari, Bipradeep Dutta's tunes are just ok. The background score is fine but the substandard story couldn't be elevated by their efforts. The cinematography of Prasanth Ankireddy is below standard, disappointing all. Editing of Sai Babu Talari offered nothing much and he left many scenes unattended. Dialogues are nothing new and production values are below standard.Maremma Movie: Advantages<ul><li>None</li></ul>Maremma Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Casting</li><li>Lack of Exciting Elements</li><li>Writing</li></ul>Maremma (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Maremma turns out to be a disappointing drama in Telangana backdrop. Maadhav's weak performance and director Manchala Nagraj's senseless story, spineless screenplay and outdated script turned the film into a woeful one. No amount of rework would have changed the fate of Maremma. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Maremma.

He showed good emotions and body language. He is impressive with his screen presence. He expressed with his eyes at times. Suhas is impactful in his role and he showed fear in a silent manner. He with his body language showed that height does not matter when it comes to performance. Mahima Nambiar is ok in her role. Satyaraj is good in a role pivotal to the film. Ravindra Vijay performed decently in his role. Others performed as per their roles.Mandaadi(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMandaadi story is penned by Mathimaran Pugazhendi. He tried to attract viewers with the love, friendship, and betrayal plot in the rustic village backdrop along with the boat racing competitions. The story is interesting to an extent, but the narration and screenplay assumes predictable flavor. The first half treads in a similar manner and second half continues in the same way. This time, Mathimaran elevated the emotions in a more powerful manner.The story turns out to be predictable except for the boat racing episodes. Everything looked routine and the conflict point is not established in a convincing and more powerful way. Drama also did not work and most of the scenes paled on the screen. Even the romantic track did not appeal to all. He left many unanswered questions in the film.GV. Prakash Kumar's music is ok. His background score is good. He elevated the scenes, especially in the boat races with his background music. SR. Kathir's cinematography is good. He showed the rustic village atmosphere quite well on the screen. He also showed the boat races sequences in an effective way. Pradeep Raghav's editing could have been better as there are few scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are ok. Production values are good.Mandaadi Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Performances</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Boat Races</li></ul>Mandaadi Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable Elements</li><li>Missing Conflict</li><li>VFX, CG</li></ul>Mandaadi(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Mandaadi turns out to be average emotional drama. Soori and Suhaas came up with spirited performances and director Mathimaaran Pugazhendi came up with an interesting plot in the backdrop of boat racing. However, he failed to take it to the next level, turning the scenes into predictable, routine and monotonous. A little finetuning of the script, including more interesting and exciting elements and racy screenplay would have added more fire power. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating to Mandaadi.

He did full justice to the role. He showed variations in his body language, mannerisms, and screen presence through different timelines. He carried the film on his shoulders, taking viewers along with him into the narration with his expressions and emotions and captivating dialogue delivery.Swetha Lakhman played the female lead of Sahaa, and she was effective with impactful expressions and emotions.

He came up with a story to connect chords with the viewers with a romantic emotional entertainer. He got the good concept but failed completely in his execution. He tried to generate interest among viewers by following a non-linear screenplay and narration, showing different timelines to and fro, but interest levels disappear as the entire idea becomes predictable with the passage of time.Despite that, the first half turns out decent, with a few interesting scenes setting the tone for the second half. The second half turns out to be even more routine and most of the scenes get a dragged feeling as the so-called emotions fail to make an impact even in the climax.The editing of Dinesh Peddi lacked crispness. He should have used the editing scissors more effectively. Sehkar Chandra's music is ok but the songs fail to make an impact on the viewers. He however came up with a perfect background score to elevate the scenes and emotions to another level. K.Karunakar's cinematography made the film look good on screen. Production values are good.Sahaa Advantages<ul><li>Shiva Kumar's performance</li><li>Few Scenes&nbsp;</li><li>BGM</li></ul>Sahaa Disadvantages<ul><li>Screenplay</li><li>Missing Emotions</li></ul>Sahaa Rating AnalysisAltogether, Sahaa-Life of Sanju turns out to be another routine emotional entertainer. Director Nishanth got good performances from Shiva Kumar Kasaram and Swetha Lakshman but he failed to do justice to the romantic emotional concept and idea with his screenplay and direction. The slow pace, predictable elements and missing emotions, undid all the good intentions. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.25 rating for Sahaa-Life of Sanju.

However this time his performance turned out to be a roller coaster ride. At times he looked terrific on the screen and at other times he looked like a novice. His dialogues had an anglical accent and this may not go well with all viewers. He is good on screen with his body language, dialogue delivery and emotions.Kayadu Lohar is ok in her role. She looked good on the screen but got limited scope to show her acting talent. Antony Varghese Pepe steals the show with his impactful performance. So did Samyukta Viswanathan in her role. Mysskin played the role of the antagonist and his role is too predictable. To over come that he tried to bring in eccentricity but it impacted in a negative way. Vinay Forrt and Kathir were minimised on the screen. Others performed as per their roles.Technicians ReviewI'm Game story is penned by Nihas Hidayath. He came up with an interesting and exciting plot. However the narration and screenplay shifts completely turning the entire thing into a disjointed one. Nihas Hidayath narrated so many things and this makes viewers get accustomed to the happenings and the characters. But Nihas regained his composure and once he dealt with the main story, the narration turns interesting. But there are many scenes and characters that looked forced and out of sync to the story.While the first half after the initial confusion, turns interesting in the run up to the interval and brings an end setting to the exciting second half, the second half sinks even further. There are many unnecessary characters and the flat narration and uninspiring execution played the spoil sport. The flashback episodes undoes all the good intentions. Everything ended up irritating and testing the patience of the viewers.The music and background tuned by Jakes Bejoy turned out to be a disappointing affair. He tried to elevate the scenes that offered nothing new. Jimshi Khalid's cinematography got nothing much to excite . &nbsp;The editing of Chaman Chakko could have been far better as there are scenes that impacted the flow of the narration. Dialogues are ok and production values are grand.Advantages<ul><li>Unique Concept</li></ul>Disadvantages<ul><li>Screenplay</li><li>Confusing Narration&nbsp;</li><li>Cliched Elements&nbsp;</li><li>Listless Characterizations</li></ul>Rating AnalysisAltogether, I'm Game turns out to be average thriller. Dulqer Salmaan should be credited for selecting a different story and Nihas Hidayath came up with a unique plot. However, Nihas completely failed with his screenplay and direction. In trying to include more twists and turns, he introduced numerous characters ending up confusing the viewers. Everything turned flat and he failed to do justice with disappointing execution. A little finetuning of the script, racy screenplay, doing away with predictability could have added more spice to the proceedings. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.75 rating for I'm Game.

The role is tailor-made for him, and he needs not do anything unique for the role. His comic timing is intact, and he did well in emotional scenes. Allari Naresh, since his entry, has done silly comedy films and, after a longtime once again did the same.Sr Naresh stole the show with his performance. He made an impact with his dialogue delivery, emotions, and expressions. His screen presence is good, and he entertained with his antics.Vennela Kishore is good in his role as Indra. Vishnu Priya, Prisha Singh, and Rashi Singh are ok in the roles of Rambha, Oorvasi, and Menaka.Rashi Singh got limited screen presence. She didn't get much scope to show her acting talent. Tarak Ponnappa is ok in the role of the antagonist.There are many actors like Kalyani Raj, Shiju, Hari Teja, Goparaju Ramana, Goparaju Vijay, RK.Mama, Rachi Ravi, Ravi Siva Teja, and they got blink-and-miss roles.Rambha Oorvasi Menaka(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewRambha Oorvasi Menaka story is penned by Chandramohan Chitanda. The story is similar to many old films like Yamaleela and others. Though there is scope to generate comedy, he failed to do so. Though there are a few scenes and youthful dialogues, none of them worked due to cliched scenes and outdated narration.Chota K Prasad's editing left a lot to be desired.

Allari Naresh tried to return back to the comedy genre, and keeping in view director Chandra Mohan readies the story. But the problem is, Allari Naresh is stuck with the same 90s-era comedy, and the director also didn't try to come out of it. This resulted in a weak story, a silly screenplay, and listless direction. No amount of changes in the script and screenplay will change the output of the film. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Rambha Oorvasi Menaka. &nbsp;

In the role of a 30 year old single person he performed in a subtle manner without overdoing himself. He with his screen presence, dialogue delivery and subtle comedy created lot of humour with his antics. Mamitha Baiju captivated all with her cute looks. She endeared herself to all with her expressive eyes.Roshan Shanavas, Sangeeth Prathap and Suresh Krishna who played the roles of Gixon, Joel Davis, Baiju, came up with commendable performances. Others added value to the proceedings with their performances.Bethlehem Kutumba Unit(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewThe story of Bethlehem Kutumba Unit is penned by Girish A D, Kiran Josey and is directed by Girish AD. Girish AD tried to touch up on the sensitivities of the people in relationship with significant age gap and how the society reacts. The story looks similar to the recent release Viswanath &amp; Sons which featured Suriya under the direction of Venky Atluri.Coincidentally both the films has Mamitha Baiju as the female lead. Girish AD unlike Venky Atluri who dealt with family emotions, decided to narrate the story in a hilarious and entertaining way. In this film, the age gap is reduced to just around 13 years unlike in Vishwanath &amp; Sons where it was more than 20 years.Right from the start till the finish, Girish AD included many scenes and hilarious elements to bring smiles and create a laughing riot in the theatres. The first half sails through smoothly with racy screenplay and sets the stage for the second half. However the second half falls apart with slow narration. He tried to continue in the same vein in the second half but he over did the comedy scenes and made viewers feel that the story is heading nowhere.There are many predictable elements in the second half and once the director's intention is known in the first half, viewers get disconnected . The dragged pre climax and the simple romance diluted the emotional blocks. To the top of it, the climax turned predictable.The music of Vishnu Vijay is beautiful. The songs are well shot and are situational. The songs added value to the narration. His background music elevated the scenes to the next level taking humour to the next level. The cinematography of Ajmal Sabu turned the film into a colorful one and visually appealing on the screen. Akash Joseph Varghese's editing turned out to be a mixed bag. While he turned the proceedings in the first half racy, the second half dragged at a snail's pace testing the patience of the viewers. Dialogues are funny and entertaining. Production values are good.Bethlehem Kutumba Unit Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Nivin Pauly, Mamitha Baiju</li><li>Music</li><li>Hilarious Scenes</li></ul>Bethlehem Kutumba Unit Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Missing Emotions</li><li>Predictable Plot</li><li>Snails Pace</li></ul>Bethlehem Kutumba Unit(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Bethlehem Kutumba Unit is funny and entertaining to the core. Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju came up with captivating performances and director Girish AD, dealt the sensitive topic in an extremely entertaining manner. Though the story simple and predictable and offered nothing new, he ensured that there are many hilarious scenes to keep viewers glued to the screen. He got the optimum out of the cast and crew. The screenplay is racy in the first half and nosedived in the second half. A little finetuning of the script, adding more emotions, doing away with the predictability would have added value to the narration. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Bethlehem Kudumba Unit. &nbsp;

These kind of roles are tailormade for him. He showed good expressions and emotions and generated enough fun in the scenes. Ananthika Sanil Kumar looked good on the screen. She looked cute, gorgeous and tried to express with her eyes. She played the role that confuses everyone and the director tried to generate fun around her role.Narendra Ravi who made an impression with the Pre Wedding Shoot, created a laughing riot with his performance. Whenever one got a feeling that the story is drifing and narration is heading nowhere, he pulled it back with his hilarious antics. Venkatesh Kakamanu, Sai Sohan and Mani Aegurela also complemented them with their performances taking the film forward.Upendra Limaye is good in the role of the police officer. Director KV.Anudeep's surprise cameo turns out to be the highlight. Others performed according to their roles.Romanchakam(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewRomanchakam story is penned by Venu Gopal Reddy. He selected a simple story and more than the story and screenplay, he concentrated on entertaining viewers with situational comedy. However, he took more time in establishing characters at the start and then dragged the narration with the scenes involving friends and then introducing the female lead. At that time one gets a feeling that the story is heading no where and the screenplay looked stale.After the predictable first half, except for the hilarious sequence in the runup to the interval and the interval block, the stage is set for the second half. The second half continues in the same way and the few comedy scenes involving the cop did not generate the required humour as it turned repetitive.The pre climax and climax picks up pace and the cameo involving Anudeep entertains all turning the film into a decent watch. There are many illogical scenes and the director failed to justify the behavior of the female lead and at time the hero character. Though the film is touted to be a romantic entertainer, it misses the strong romantic elements.Pavan Pappula turned the film visually appealing on the screen. He turned the scenes into colorful ones. Vasuki Vabhav's songs are melodious and at one touches souls and hearts. They are shot in a beautiful manner. The background music is in sync with the story. Dialogues targeted Gen Z and youth and at times crossed the thin redline with adult content and double meaning elements. Venu Gopal Reddy, the director himself handled the editing and it is ok. There are many scenes that impacted the flow of the narration and tested the patience of the viewers. Production values are good.Romanchakam Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Youthful Elements</li><li>Couple of Songs</li><li>Cinematography</li></ul>Romanchakam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Screenplay, Story</li><li>Predictable Elements</li><li>Over The Top Dialogues</li></ul>Romanchakam(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Romanchakam turns out to be predictable youthful entertainer. Director Venu Gopal Reddy Puppala came up with a simple story and he tried to entertain viewers with situational comedy. To some extent he succeeded but at times the dialogues turned over the top with all the actors indulging in shouting slugfest. The screenplay also offered nothing new. Youngsters may like the film to some extent if they ignore the predictability. Had he added few interesting elements and racy screenplay, impact would have been even more greater. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Romanchakam. &nbsp;

Others did justice to their roles.Kiku Chiranjeevi(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewKiku Chiranjeevi story is penned by Shubha Sai Venkat and he tried to thrill viewers with the youthful romantic thriller. The narration starts in an interesting way but quickly assumes predictable and monotonous flavour with the hero and heroine romantic track. Till the end of the first half, the so called thrill factor goes missing. He spent time with silly comedy scenes and romantic scenes and brings an end to the proceedings with the bold song setting the tone for the second half.While the first half is full of youthful romantic elements, the second half is filled with few thrills. Couple of scenes that come with twists may surprise common viewers but those who are used to watch such films find them predictable. But once those twists are revealed it is just a matter of time as to how the proceedings are brought to a logical conclusion.The first half filled with romantic and bold scenes is in complete contrast to the second half filled with couple of twists. The story turned out to be predictable and screenplay left many questions unanswered with illogical elements. The pre climax is ok while the climax turns out to be tame.Ramakrishna.

Kashish Khan indulged in bold beauty treat. Director Shubha Sai Venkat planned to thrill viewers and the makers promoted it as a thriller. However, with the thrill factor missing in the first half and monotonous elements, screenplay assuming serial type narration, everything misfired. The second half has couple of twists but these couldn't revive the fortunes as viewers have watched such twists and films for many decades. One gets a feeling that they are watching two films on one ticket.Doing away with unnecessary scenes, illogical elements, rework on the script and gripping screenplay would have added more fire power. Considering a all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Kiku Chiranjeevi. &nbsp;

He looked stylish and macho in his appearance. He with his screen presence created the required impact. Nayanthara got a role which is ok. Kiara Advani scorched red hot and offered very little when it comes to performance. Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi and Rukmini Vasanth tried to ooze with glamor but for limited scope to showcase their acting talent.There are many other actors like Sudev Nair, Akshay Oberoi, Balaji Manohar, Darrell D Silva who tried to do justice for their roles but got little chance to do so.Toxic Movie: Technicians ReviewThe story of Toxic is penned by Geetu Mohan Das. The narration starts in an interesting and action packed manner but from then on everything fall apart as quickly as it starts. There are many action sequences and intense intimate scenes but everything looks directionless bringing a tame end to the first half.Many expected a better second half but it turns out to be even worse. There are many female actresses but none of them got a powerful role to make an impact. Geetu Mohan Das tried to attract viewers with brother sister relationship, father -son sentiment and many romantic elements but everything looks disjointed and ended up testing the patience of all and irritating them.Even when people wait patiently praying for the end, they will get another shock in the pre climax and climax with psychological elements. The story has many threads but none of them are answered in a convincing manner and few of them despite the lengthy runtime left unanswered and the screenplay turned ridiculous to the core. The direction turned out to be a huge disappointment. The script turned out to be lackluster. Dialogues are just ok and dubbing made the matters worse.Geetu Mohan Das completely failed to do justice to the stardom of Yash and his character turned listless and aimless on the screen. When the main character itself turned out in this way, one can imagine the characterisation of other roles. All lacked emotional depth and came with over the top performances.The songs tuned by Ravi Basrur, Vishal Mishra, Tanishk Bagchi are not up to the mark. They impact looked forced and failed to make an impression. Ravi Basrur scored the background score and it is ok at times but most of the time it turned out to be below average. The Cinematography of Rajeev Rai turned the film into a visually appealing one. She showed the scenes in a natural way and created the Goa scenes showing Portuguese role in a realistic way. The editing of Ujwal Kulkarni turned out to be disappointing. There are many scenes that could have been trimmed or done away with. Production values of grand.Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Yash Performance</li><li>Cinematography</li></ul>Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Story, Screenplay, Direction</li><li>Missing Emotions</li><li>Artificial Elements</li><li>Mindless Violence</li><li>Excessive Lust</li></ul>Toxic(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups turns out to be director's revenge on viewers. Geetu Mohan Das tried to show Yash in a powerful role full of emotions in the backdrop of intense romantic elements. However, she failed completely to do justice to the faith shown on her by Yash.The story looked ok to some extent, though predictable, but she drew inspiration from films like KGF, Animal and others. Instead of coming up with the strong story and gripping screenplay Director concentrated only on action elements and intimate scenes. She failed to realise that style alone will not guarantee success. The convoluted screenplay made the things worse. No amount of changes would have changed the final result.Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups

He showed good expressions and emotions and did justice to his role. Sashidhar performed well in the role and ensured that the narration sailed off smoothly. Manoj elevated the scenes with his dialogue delivery, body language, and mannerisms. He generated fun with his dialogues and at the same time drove home the message in a serious situation, showing good emotions and expressions.Visweswar Reddy played the role of Chacha to perfection. He delivered good dialogues and made an impact. Vedha Jalandharr did well in the role pivotal to the film. Ravn Nitturu is good in his role. Sai Yogi made an impression with his performance. Others like Pawon Ramesh performed according to their roles.Ameer Log(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewAmeer Log story is penned by Ramana Reddy Soma. He decided to entertain movie lovers, highlighting the Hyderabadi Deccan culture. He chose a simple point and narrated it in an interesting manner.Though the narration is predictable with three youngsters roaming listlessly before realizing their mistake and changing accordingly, the Deccani accent and the Old City vibes added value to it. What surprises all is that the director did not include a female lead in the film. He showed the female character as the sister to the three main characters.The dialogues are entertaining and natural, and none of them look forced and out of sync. The interval bang is done well turning the first half into a decent one. The second half continues in the same manner, and the screenplay and narration goes in a smooth and sedate manner.However for all the positives, the director after highlighting the conflict point and establishing it quite well, ends the film in a flat manner, disappointing all.The cinematography of SVK showed the Hyderabad old city vibes in a natural and realistic way. He used the camera angles to perfection and showed the nightlife and also the day hustles quite well and in an effective manner.The background score of Smaran Sai is good and complemented the proceedings, adding value to the narration. He came up with foot-tapping songs highlighting the old city culture and Deccani flavor. The editing of Rohit Penumasta is ok but could have been better, as there are a few drags that slowed the pace of the narration. Production values are decent.Ameer Log Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Performances</li><li>Deccani Accent</li><li>Foot-tapping Songs</li><li>Cinematography</li></ul>Ameer Log Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Simple Ending</li><li>No Real Twists</li><li>Predictable Plot</li></ul>Ameer Log(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Ameer Log turns out to be a decent entertainer highlighting the Hyderabad Deccan culture. Director Ramana Reddy Soma got the optimum output from the cast and crew, and Hari Munnangi, Sasidhar Kocharlakota, and Manoj came up with spirited performances.The story is simple, but Ramana Reddy, with his screenplay, turned the film into an entertaining one blending humour, emotions, and Deccani dialogues in an effective way. However, predictability crept in with the passage of time, and the unidimensional screenplay hampered the proceedings. The rushed climax did not add much value to the ending. A little fine-tuning of the script and inclusion of a few more twists and turns would have added more power to the final impact. Considering all these points, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Ameer Log.
