&nbsp;&nbsp;Tamil actor Dhanush is reportedly preparing to launch a political party named Tamizhaga Ezhuchchi Kazhagam, which broadly translates to Tamil Nadu Progressive Party. According to reports, steps have allegedly been taken to register the proposed party with the Election Commission of India, although an official confirmation from Dhanush is still awaited.The reported political move comes after growing speculation over Dhanush’s ambitions. His fan associations have reportedly become more organised, with supporters recently unveiling a separate flag. Sources close to the actor are said to be preparing for a formal announcement, potentially revealing the party’s structure, objectives and political roadmap.The development comes amid major changes in Tamil Nadu politics following the latest Assembly election. Actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam emerged as a significant political force, while established parties including the DMK and AIADMK faced setbacks. This has intensified discussion about cinema personalities entering Tamil Nadu’s electoral arena.Dhanush, who was previously related to superstar Rajinikanth’s family through marriage, has reportedly been considering politics for some time. If the reported Tamizhaga Ezhuchchi Kazhagam registration is formally confirmed, his entry could further reshape the growing connection between Tamil cinema and politics. An official announcement will clarify his plans. - Veda

&nbsp;&nbsp; Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, an accused in the Renukaswamy murder case, has suffered another setback in court. The 50th CCH Court reportedly dismissed two applications filed by his legal team concerning approver Pradosh Rao’s movement and examination during the ongoing trial.Darshan’s lawyers sought restrictions on Pradosh’s interactions while travelling between prison and court, including preventing unauthorised meetings. Another application sought directions regarding the manner and sequence of Pradosh’s examination. The prosecution reportedly opposed the requests, while the court considered the submissions before dismissing both applications.Pradosh, accused No. 14, has become an approver after seeking pardon and offering to make a full and truthful disclosure about the alleged murder conspiracy, disposal of evidence and roles of the accused. His status followed significant legal proceedings, including a Karnataka High Court intervention over procedural issues.Reports indicate Pradosh has submitted extensive information to the court, potentially making his evidence important to the prosecution’s case. Meanwhile, Pavithra Gowda reportedly broke down during proceedings over alleged difficulties inside Parappana Agrahara prison.

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Nani has revealed fresh details about Bloody Romeo, his upcoming action film with Sujeeth. Although shooting has entered its next phase, the actor says the movie combines violence with an unusually witty treatment. He describes it as stylish, theatrical and action packed, while promising a distinctly different experience for Telugu audiences.The concept was introduced on Nani’s birthday in February 2026 through an animated glimpse. Nani appears as a chef hiding a gangster identity, while the promo blends food imagery, dark humour and explosive action. The makers presented it as a pan-Indian entertainer, with the “No. 1 Gangsta” track adding swagger.Bloody Romeo also marks Nani’s first collaboration with Sujeeth, whose filmography includes Run Raja Run, Saaho and Pawan Kalyan’s OG. The new film appears to combine Sujeeth’s flair for stylish action with humour and madness. That tonal balance could distinguish it from conventional gangster dramas and broaden its theatrical appeal.Produced by Venkat Boyanapalli under Niharika Entertainment with Unanimous Productions, Bloody Romeo is being mounted as a multi language project. Nani plays the central chef gangster character, while casting and technical details remain limited. The makers are expected to reveal more as production progresses, with a theatrical release date still officially unannounced.- Veda

Then Trivikram decided to change the storyline accordingly and rewrote many scenes and went into reshoot mode.The film's promotions, teaser etc did not inspire any confidence and generate hype and the magic of Trivikram went missing.

The raw and rustic film ‘Anakapalli’, produced by Kandregula Naidu and Thrinadha Rao Nakkina under the banners of Bhavya Sri Movie Makers and Nakkina Narratives, is receiving an excellent response following its release on October 2. Vikram Sahidev, Sandhya Vasishta and Tarak Ponnappa play key roles in the film, which is directed by Khagesh Tammineni. Kandregula Kumar Raja is the co-producer, while Thrinadha Rao Nakkina has provided the story and screenplay. A Thank You Meet was organised on Tuesday to celebrate the film’s encouraging response. &nbsp; Speaking at the event, Thrinadha Rao Nakkina said: “I did not invest any money in ‘Anakapalli’. They used my name because they felt audiences would come to watch the film if my name was associated with it. I waited until Monday to see the result. Not just Monday, even today (Tuesday), there is a strong audience turnout. Shows are houseful at several places. The film is receiving a positive response from all quarters. All the artistes are also receiving appreciation for their performances. I request the media and audiences to continue supporting the film and take it even further.” &nbsp; Lagadapati Sridhar said: “I am very happy to be part of the success of ‘Anakapalli’. Vikram being my son and Thrinadha Rao garu and Naidu garu coming forward to support him is a great thing. The media always stands by small films and supports them. When ‘Evadi Gola Vadide’ was released, people said it would be removed within the first week. But it eventually completed a Silver Jubilee in the same theatre. Similarly, ‘Anakapalli’ will also achieve great success. It will stand out as a Dasara Dhamaka. Even the Monday night shows were full. I pray that with the blessings of Nookalamma Thalli, ‘Anakapalli’ achieves even greater success.” &nbsp; Kandregula Naidu said: “I made ‘Anakapalli’ because of my faith in Thrinadha Rao Nakkina garu. We released our film in 200 theatres. We worked extremely hard to make this movie. However, theatres are being allocated to films from other languages instead of supporting a film that is receiving such a good response. I request everyone to support small producers like us when we come forward with good films. Even today, our shows are houseful at many places. We have made a good movie, and I request the distributors to allot more theatres to our film.” &nbsp; Vikram Sahidev said: “‘Anakapalli’ is receiving a great response. I have read all the reviews. Thank you to everyone who pointed out both the positives and negatives of our film. The number of theatres screening our movie is also increasing. I thank Thrinadha Rao garu for trusting me and giving me this opportunity. Because of Indraja garu, the family drama came out so beautifully. Davzand garu’s music is fantastic. It was a pleasure working with Tarak Ponnappa garu. Sandhya Vasishta performed wonderfully. During this journey, our producers Naidu garu and Raja garu have become like family members. I hope to continue travelling with them in the future as well.” &nbsp; Actress Indraja said: “‘Anakapalli’ has achieved true success, which is why I came to this Thank You Meet today. It is disappointing that a good film like this was not given a sufficient number of theatres. Everyone who has watched the movie is appreciating it. Audiences are not bothered about who is in the film or who made it. They only care whether the film is good and whether they liked it. I hope our film gets more good theatres. Please watch our movie on OTT as well, but you will then feel that you missed the experience of watching it in theatres. Our film is that good.” &nbsp; Senior Journalist Abdul said: “‘Anakapalli’ is different from what one might expect. The interval and climax are surprising. The film moves away from the routine template. Vikram has delivered a great performance.” &nbsp; Senior Journalist Siva said: “‘Anakapalli’ is receiving a good response. Vikram has performed exceptionally well. Sridhar garu has immense passion for cinema. The director has presented the film wonderfully. We need more such good films and passionate producers.” &nbsp;

Sukumar’s Rangasthalam changed the commercial perception of rural Telugu cinema. Its authentic village setting, rooted characters and emotional storytelling became a major success, proving that a rustic world could support a star driven blockbuster. The film’s impact encouraged filmmakers to explore regional identities, dialects and earthy characters on increasingly ambitious scales.KGF and Pushpa subsequently transformed that template into a massive pan Indian action franchise. Several filmmakers associated with Sukumar, including Buchi Babu Sana and Srikanth Odela, also explored earthy worlds. What initially felt distinctive gradually became familiar, with raw characters, rugged aesthetics, period settings and intense conflicts increasingly appearing across mainstream Telugu projects.The concern is not that rustic cinema should disappear, but that its repetition could limit experimentation. The latest Bhogi teaser, featuring Sharwanand in an intense rustic period action avatar, has again brought the discussion into focus. When similar aesthetics dominate star vehicles, audiences may eventually crave urban romances, workplace comedies, family entertainers and slice of life stories.Other industries show that softer genres can still create major theatrical success. Malayalam’s Premalu became a major romantic comedy hit, while Bethlehem Kudumba Unit has emerged as a huge romantic comedy success. Modha Ratri in Tamil. Hindi cinema’s 12th Fail and Laapataa Ladies similarly demonstrated the theatrical potential of grounded, character driven storytelling. Tollywood has the talent to rediscover that variety. - Veda

In an era where filmmakers often rely on massive promotional budgets, star power, social media influencers, reels and promotional events to generate buzz ahead of a film’s release, the team of a small film has chosen a completely different route. With just one creative idea, the team has managed to cut down on heavy promotional expenses while taking the film directly to the audience. The innovative marketing strategy by the team of ‘Parnashala’, produced under the SLT Films banner, is now attracting attention in Tollywood circles.The horror-comedy film’s song ‘Jim Jim Thaara’ has become a talking point in the industry. As part of the film’s promotions, the makers came up with an unconventional promotional idea that has received an unexpected response. After getting Lakshmi Devi to sing the song, the team decided to make ‘Jim Jim Thaara’ the central weapon of their promotional campaign. The promotional move has now triggered an interesting conversation on social media.‘Jim Jim Thaara’ reaches people even before the reels!One of the biggest advantages for the ‘Parnashala’ team is that the song is reaching audiences without relying heavily on paid promotions or expensive influencer campaigns. More importantly, the song is no longer confined to mobile screens and social media reels—it is reportedly becoming familiar among ordinary audiences as well. A hit song is not merely a musical success. It can significantly increase curiosity around a film and create recognition even before its theatrical release. This becomes particularly important for small-budget films that may not have the promotional resources of big-ticket productions.The ‘Parnashala’ team appears to have effectively leveraged this very formula. If the buzz generated by ‘Jim Jim Thaara’ translates into curiosity for the film, it could potentially benefit the movie’s theatrical business as well as its OTT and audio rights market. The promotional strategy is also being viewed as an encouraging example for small films, sending out a clear message: a massive promotional budget is not always necessary when there is a massive idea.Marketing strategy becomes a talking point before the movieThe fact that a song has generated such significant attention even before the film’s release has emerged as a major advantage for the ‘Parnashala’ team. The big question now is whether this momentum will continue all the way to the theatres and how effectively the buzz created by ‘Jim Jim Thaara’ will translate into audience interest in the movie. Directed by Y.G. Bharat and produced by Manchi Venkat, ‘Parnashala’ is gearing up for its theatrical release soon. The film, which features horror-comedy elements along with suspense-thriller aspects, has already become a talking point in Tollywood for its unconventional promotional strategy.

&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;

Anakapalli (2026) Movie: What's BehindVikram Sahidev and Sandhya Vasishta are coming before the audience with the rural action drama Anakapalli. Khagesh Tammineni has directed the film, while Trinadha Rao Nakkina provided the story and screenplay. Tarak Ponnappa appears in a crucial role. Let us see how the film fares.Anakapalli (2026) Movie: Story ReviewAnakapalli is set against a rural backdrop and revolves around Surya (Vikram Sahidev), a youngster whose life changes after entering a world dominated by local gangster Bullet (Tarak Ponnappa). Love, loyalty, family emotions and the gangster backdrop drive the narrative.The basic conflict has enough scope for an engaging rural action drama, but the screenplay does not extract the full potential from the setup. Several developments are predictable, and the narration takes considerable time to reach the important moments.Anakapalli (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVikram Sahidev puts in a sincere performance and handles the emotional portions reasonably well. He shows improvement in the action and serious sequences.Tarak Ponnappa is one of the better aspects of the film. His screen presence and intensity suit the gangster role, particularly in the confrontation scenes.Sandhya Vasishta gets a limited role and performs adequately. 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. Editing should have been tighter, as the slow stretches affect the overall pace.Director Khagesh Tammineni succeeds in creating the required rustic setting and gets decent performances from the cast. However, the film needed a stronger screenplay, better pacing and more compelling conflict to leave a lasting impression.Anakapalli Movie: Highlights<ul><li>Rustic rural backdrop</li><li>Tarak Ponnappa's performance</li><li>Vikram Sahidev's sincere effort</li><li>A few emotional sequences</li><li>Background score</li></ul>Anakapalli Movie: Drawbacks<ul><li>Routine storyline</li><li>Predictable proceedings</li><li>Slow narration</li><li>Uneven screenplay</li><li>Lengthy scenes</li></ul>Anakapalli (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisOn the whole, Anakapalli has a promising rural backdrop and gets some support from the performances, particularly Vikram Sahidev and Tarak Ponnappa. However, the familiar storyline, predictable screenplay and slow narration prevent the film from turning its rustic setup into an engaging theatrical experience.The film works in patches, but the effective moments are not enough to overcome the weaknesses in the writing and pacing.

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. Harsh Roshan and Nakshatra lead the film, while the makers attempt to balance a serious subject with comedy and romance. 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. The film needed a tighter screenplay to make its central conflict work.Thella Kaagitham Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Harsh Roshan's performance</li><li>Nakshatra's screen presence</li><li>Music and background score</li><li>Some entertaining first-half portions</li></ul>Thella Kaagitham Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable writing</li><li>Slow second half</li><li>Weak emotional impact</li><li>Stretched scenes</li></ul>Thella Kaagitham(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisThella Kaagitham starts with a subject that could have made for an engaging youthful drama, and the first half manages to keep things moving with comedy, romance and a few decent moments. 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.

What are those surprising revelations and what roles Soumya aka Bujjamma (,Dhasvika Kinthalli), president Murthy, Rangarao, Venkat Rao ( Kittayya), Lakshmana, Friend Bharat, Kishore Babu, Gopi ( Anand Bharathi), SI Bangaraju and others form the interesting part.Tatvam(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewDinesh Tej is good in the role of the cop. He showed good emotions and expressions as a police officer and also as the person who gets attracted towards a girl after a long time.Dhasvika Kinthalli looked good on the screen. However she got limited dialogues and screen presence. Others performed according to their roles.Tatvam(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewThe story of Tatwam is written by Arjun Kola. He tried to attract all with the murder mystery in the backdrop of rural atmosphere. He starts the narration in an interesting way and sets the tone for the investigation. The first half sails of smoothly in a slow and steady manner before it ends with the interesting twist setting the stage for the second half.The second half proceeds in a predictable way with the pressure from the top officials regarding investigation and the protagonist trying to get green signal from the female lead for his love. The film finally ends with the interesting development.The story though turns decent but the narration treads in a slow manner like serial like presentation. This diluted the intensity levels of the already predictable narration. The screenplay is uni dimensional and offered nothing new. Direction turned out to be average.The music of Chaitan Bharadwaj is melodious. The songs are very few and we shot in an appealing manner. His background music is in sync with the story and added value to the narration. Bharat Patti with his cinematography showed the rural and village atmosphere in a realistic and natural way. The editing of Viplav Nyshadam could have been better as there are many scenes and elements that are repetitive and slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are ok and production values are average.Tatvam Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Interesting Plot</li><li>Music</li><li>Cinematography</li></ul>Tatvam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Slow Pace</li><li>Predictable Elements</li><li>Illogical Scenes</li></ul>Tatvam(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Tatvam turns out of be a routine murder mystery. The cast and crew tried their best to come up with a quality product. However, it seems the budget constraints prevented them from doing so. Director Arjun Kola came up with a murder mystery and tried to add spiritual touch but after couple of dialogues , he completely ignores it. He then tried to increase the interest levels with the investigation and blending it with romantic elements. Little fine-tuning of the script, including twists and turns would could make the film even better. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Tatvam.

Dorothy(2026) Movie: What's BehindKarthik Subbaraj's Dorothy has been hogging in the limelight ever since its release in Tamil one week back on 25 Sep 2026. The film got standing ovation at the Toronto International Film Festival on 11 Sep 2026. The film stars Keerthy Suresh, Sananth and Rishikanth and the controversial topic is attracting the ire of everyone. The film's OTT rights have been bagged for a fancy sum by Netflix. Let us see how the film impacts Telugu movie lovers on 2 October 2026.Dorothy(2026) Movie: Story ReviewDorothy story revolves around two friends and how their relationship transforms with the entry of a beautiful girl. Right from their childhood, Karthi (Rishikanth) and Subbu(Sananth) forge an inseparable relationship in the backdrop of the dark world. However their lives takes a drastic turn with the entry of a beautiful girl Dorothy (Keerthy Suresh).Where this leads to and what roles Whistle Veeraiya (Muthukumar), Transgender (Jeeva Subramanian), Thangamalar (Muthazhagi), and others form the rest of the developments.Dorothy(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewKeerthy Suresh got very limited role in the film. However she breathed life in her character and captivates all with her graceful presence and performance. Rishikanth and Sananth performed well in their roles and did full justice creating the maximum impact. Others like Ramachandran Durairaj, Soundararaja, Muthazhagi, Jeeva Subramanian, Muthukumar, Gajaraj performed according to their roles.Dorothy(2026) Movie: Technical ReviewDorothy story is penned by Karthik Subbaraj. He is known to come with hard hitting films and even Dorothy is nothing new. He chose to address the controversial topics in the story. He narrated the first half highlighting the friendship, bonding and emotions between the two friends. With his humor that is black, Karthik Subbaraj lived up to his reputation.He then makes a drastic shift in the second half. While he touched on the contentious issues in the second half, at times, he ended up confusing viewers. Through Dorothy, he did not deviate from one topic to another but chose to address in all the problems in a powerful, hardhitting and logical manner.He showed clarity of thought in his narration and this made a powerful impact on the viewers. He addressed casteism, violence, patriarchy, gender politics and discrimination. After highlighting the major problem or the controversial issue, he normalised it in the society. Though he did not glorify for the LGBT rights, he just normalised it.However for all the powerful elements, Karthik Subbaraj's narration turned out to be preachy. The story and narration irritate all sections of viewers not only conservatives but also those who fight for the rights of LGBTQIA+ allies.The cinematography of S Thirunavukkarasu is captivating. He showed the raw and rustic elements in a natural and impactful manner. He used the camera angles capturing the expressions of various actors to perfection. He also showed the fights in a chilling way. Music maestro Ilayaraja added value and soul to the film with his music and background score elevating the emotions. The editing of Ganesh Siva is fine and could have been better at times. Production values are grand.Dorothy Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Bold Topic</li><li>Performances</li></ul>Dorothy Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Preachy Elements</li><li>Controversial Subject</li></ul>Dorothy(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Dorothy turns out to be a bold take on contentious issues. Karthik Subbaraj should be complimented for touching a controversial topic. He is aided by the top performances from the cast and crew. However, Karthik Subbaraj after the interesting first half and the bold second half, however failed to address the problems in the more powerful manner.Some characters are underwritten and some of the dialogues delivered by them looked forced as if praising the director. Some of the dialogues turned preachy and everything turns preachy and predictable after the passage of time. Karthik Subbaraj in his excitement to add more power and punch failed to with his failure in clarity of thought on where and how to end the film and which direction he should take if forward. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Dorothy.

Dorothy Review

Don't Trouble The Trouble(2026) Movie: What's BehindFahadh Faasil's Don't Trouble The Trouble arrived with considerable curiosity, thanks to the Rajamouli family and Arka Media Works association, along with the promotional push from several top stars. The trailer also created interest with Balakrishna's voice-over and the film's unusual magical-adventure setup. With that kind of attention around it, expectations were naturally high. The question is whether the film manages to deliver the same spark once the actual story begins.Don't Trouble The Trouble(2026) Movie: Story ReviewThe story revolves around Suri (Fahadh Faasil), a carefree man who is constantly looking for ways to make quick money. His attempt to outsmart a dangerous politician, Aslam Bhai (Mahesh Manjrekar), lands him in a difficult situation. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a little girl, Divya (Ssara Palekar). The connection between the two and the trouble surrounding them forms the main conflict.Krishna (Subbaraju), Pratap (Saurabh Sachdeva) and Divya's parents become part of Suri's journey, but the screenplay struggles to turn this simple premise into a consistently engaging ride.Don't Trouble The Trouble(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewShashank Yeleti comes up with an idea that tries to mix fantasy, emotion and entertainment, but the execution doesn't completely bring those elements together. The film takes time to establish its world and characters, while the emotional thread that should hold the story together remains underdeveloped.The first half has a few entertaining moments, but the proceedings move along familiar lines. Some curiosity is created around the interval, giving the film a temporary lift. The second half, however, loses momentum and becomes increasingly uneven. The pre-climax provides some relief, but by then the film has already struggled to maintain the required engagement.The biggest issue is the screenplay. The basic premise had enough room for a fun and emotional entertainer, but several scenes feel stretched and the narrative doesn't always follow a convincing internal logic. The film also seems caught between different kinds of audiences, never fully settling into either a children's fantasy adventure or a proper family entertainer.Fahadh Faasil does his part sincerely and once again proves his ability to bring personality to even a limited character. He has also dubbed his own lines in Telugu. However, the role itself doesn't provide enough material for him to unleash the range and spontaneity he is capable of.Ssara Palekar is adorable and delivers a decent performance, though the emotional portions could have had greater impact. Subbaraju is adequate, while Saurabh Sachdeva's character feels underwritten and confusing in places. Mahesh Manjrekar fits the part but isn't given anything particularly memorable. Venkatesh Kakamanu and the rest of the cast perform as required.Don't Trouble The Trouble(2026) Movie: Technical ReviewKaala Bhairava's music doesn't leave a major impression, while the background score also fails to consistently elevate the important moments. Brad Francis' cinematography is one of the better aspects of the film, with the camera work giving several locations a natural and visually appealing treatment.Praveen Anthony's editing could have been tighter, particularly in the portions where the narrative begins to drag. The production values are decent and the film gets the required visual support, but the technical elements aren't enough to compensate for the screenplay issues.Don't Trouble The Trouble Movie: AdvantagesFahadh Faasil's performanceA few entertaining stretchesCinematographyInteresting basic premiseDon't Trouble The Trouble Movie: DisadvantagesUneven screenplayMissing emotional depthFamiliar treatmentSlow portionsSecond halfDon't Trouble The Trouble(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisDon't Trouble The Trouble had all the ingredients to become an interesting fantasy entertainer, but the final product doesn't fully capitalise on them. The central idea has scope, and Fahadh Faasil brings his usual commitment to the character, but the screenplay doesn't give him enough material to make the proceedings consistently engaging.The film works in parts, particularly when it leans into its lighter moments and the relationship at the heart of the story. However, the emotional beats don't land strongly enough, while the second half becomes increasingly inconsistent. Some outdated and illogical stretches further weaken the impact.The Rajamouli family association and the strong promotional attention created considerable curiosity, but the film itself needed stronger writing to sustain those expectations. It isn't a complete washout, as there are a few moments and performances that work, but the overall experience remains uneven.Considering all these elements, CineJosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Don't Trouble The Trouble. &nbsp;

Anumana Pakshi (2026) Movie: What's BehindRag Mayur is coming to entertain movie lovers with Anumana Pakshi. The film attracted the attention of all as it is helmed by Vimala Krishna who earlier directed the hit film DJ Tillu. Let us see what Anumana Pakshi offerd to movie lovers.Anumana Pakshi (2026) Movie: Story ReviewAnumana Pakshi story revolves around a yougnster who is suspicious of everything and anything and the happenings in his life. Sunny (Rag Maur) is suspicious of everything without any reason and this impacts his life and also that of others who comes across him.Despite his repeated attempts to avoid Varma (Prince Cecil), he fails to do so and finally the duo along with other friend Bharath (Ananya Akula) lands in Kashmir and meets his friend Ananth (Charith). Where this leads to, how it is connected to beautiful girl Kanya (Merin Philip), her father Brahmos (Brahmaji), SI Vasu (Ajay), his wife Sujata (Raasi) and others form the rest of the developments.Anumana Pakshi(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewRag Mayur plays the lead role for the first time. However he failed to make even a minimal impact on the screen. His so called comedy didnot work. As the narration progressed, he indeed tested the patience of the viewers.Merin Philip made her entry with the female lead. She got a forgettable role. It is written in a poor manner. Prince Cecil passed through the motions. Ajay got another silly character and is wasted altogether. Brahmaji fails to entertain and so too Raashi. Others like Charith, Ananya Akhula also failed to make an impression.Anumana Pakshi(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewAnuamana Pakshi story is penned by Vimal Krishna. Expectations are high as Vimal Krishna earlier came up with DJ Tillu. He tried to entertain viewers showing the happenings in the life of a person who is extremely suspicious. However he completely failed with his story, screenplay and direction.Everything turned cringe from the start. There is nothing to talk about and one gets a feeling that even serials are better and kids can write better stories. The so called humour never worked and infact turned out to be stale. There is not one engaging sequence or entertaining scene to talk about. While the first half turned out to be ridiculous, second half turned out to be atrocious.Dialogues looked outdated and out of sync. Overall, the director failed on all fronts. Sunil Kumar Nama's cinematography left a lot to be desired. Music and background score tuned by Sricharan Pakala were mediocre. Seems Chota K Prasad didnot attend to his editing. Production values are below average.Anumana Pakshi) Movie: Advantages<ul><li>None</li></ul>Anumana Pakshi Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Everyting</li></ul>Anumana Pakshi (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Anumana Pakshi turns out to be a cringe fest hiding behing the so called comedy. The entire cast and crew failed on all fronts and the fault lies solely with the director Vimal Krishna. One gets a doubt as to whether Vimal Krishna really penned DJ Tillu story and directed it. Anumana Pakshi had no story and from then on script, screenplay and direction went missing completely. Vimal Krishna just passed time by coming up with silly scenes in the name of comedy and twists. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1 rating for Anumana Pakshi.

The Paradise(2026) Movie: What's BehindNani who is known for his natural performances and Srikanth Odela who teamed with Nani for his debut venture Dasara, a mass entertainer, once again came up with The Paradise. The film's songs, teaser and trailer got tremendous response and increased the curiosity levels. Nani's unique look and transformation captured the imagination of all. The film's Telangana backdrop is appealing to all. The film was released on 24 Sep 2026. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by Netflix and streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. Let us see what impact The Paradise made on movie lovers. &nbsp;Paradise(2026) Movie: Story Review"The Paradise" story revolves around the sect who fights for recognition even after India's Independence and where this leads to form the interesting part.Sawari sect who are oppressed in The Paradise by Shikanja Malik ( Mohan Babu) fight for recognition even after India's Independence. Did they reach their goal, what role Jadal( Babu), Sammakka (Sonali Kulakarni ), Vikram Manik ( Raghav Juyal), Subbulakshmi ( Kayadu Lohar), Biryani ( Sampoornesh Babu), MLA Shankaranna (Priyadarshi), Lawyer (Sathyaraj) form the crux of the developments.The Paradise(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewNani, who is known for doing different genre entertainers and a variety of roles, transformed himself completely for this role. His role surprises everyone. He transformed his look completely, sported long braids and also delivered dialogues in Telangana slang. He enacted breathtaking stunts and elevated the scenes with his screen presence blending it with emotions and expressions in an intense manner.Mohan Babu looked menacing in his looks and he looked extremely villainous on the screen. He got good screen presence and came up with powerful performance. His look and character is designed in a terrific manner. He delivered dialogues with ease, wreaking fear in the minds of the viewers.Raghav Juyal made his entry into Tollywood and he an okayish role. He tried to make his presence felt with his unique mannerisms but the weak character did not help the cause. Sonali Kulkarni got the all important role. Her role is pivotal to the story and she captivates all with her powerful expressions and emotions. Kayadu Lohar is ok in her role. She indulged in glamour treat that comes with silly characterisation. Priyadarshi as an MLA made an impact. Sathyaraj also played a key but small role. Sampoornesh Babu got a different role altogether and made full use of it.The Paradise(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewThe Paradise story is penned by Srikanth Odela. He tried to entertain all by highlighting the fight of the oppressed against the powerful, rich and dreaded people who wields an iron like grip. He starts the narration in an interesting manner and till the introduction of the lead actor, the intensity is maintained in a perfect manner.However, the romantic track slowed the pace of the narration and the story goes nowhere. It comes back to the track with the conflict between the hero and the villian and also the mother-son emotional bonding. The intensity reaches its peaks during the pre interval block before setting the stage for the second half.The second half continues in the same manner with protagonist and antagonist baying for each other's blood and the oppressed sect fighting for recognition. It also boils down whether they should fight for the recognition or for the survival to live another day to continue the fight. The film ends in a predictable tone with many cinematic liberties taken and missing logics hampering the realistic feel.Right after the start, one gets a feeling that something is a miss. Most of the scenes are included and shot only to give elevations. Though the start and introduction of the protagonist increase the curiosity levels, the same is not maintained in the next scenes. Kayadu Lohar's characterisation looked extremely odd and the introduction of Raghav Juyal looks absurd. The scenes of son hating mother is also not established properly. The mother's love for son should have been established in a different manner than selling herself to cure his fever. The interval episode after all the hype, looked normal.The second half picks up pace thanks to the protagonist's decision. However with the scenes turning monotonous and routine ,one cannot travel with them. The role of MLA similar to KCR generates interest. The way the Govt brands the oppressed people as terrorists smacks of logic. Same is the case with the pre climax and climax which turned out to be below average. Srikanth Odela failed as a writer and his direction turned out to be pretty average.Anirudh Ravichander came up with a thumping background score. He took the scenes to the next level with his background music. However at times, his background music turned extremely loud. He came up with two foot tapping tunes and the songs are shot in a beautiful manner. The editing of Naveen Nooli could have been better. There are many scenes that repeated and slowed the tempo of the narration. &nbsp;GK.Vishnu with his cinematography added value to the proceedings. He showed the scenes as per the story backdrop in a natural and realistic way. Dialogues are ok to an extent. Production values are good.Paradise Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Nani</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Interval Block</li></ul>Paradise Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable Elements</li><li>Cinematic Liberties</li><li>Extreme Violence</li><li>Screenplay, Direction</li></ul>The Paradise(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, The Paradise turns out to be the fight of the oppressed for recognition. Nani came up with a sincere and stunning performance. He also underwent remarkable transformation for his role. Srikanth Odela turned successful in giving mass image and elevating Nani's mass mannerism to the next level in the film. Nani showed good intensity in the mass role. He sported a new look and there ends the so-called novelty and creativity in the story. Srikanth Odela's story offered nothing new. Many such stories came earlier and except for Nani's braids, his look resembled that of Ram Charan in Peddi. Even some of the dance moves resembled the same.On top of it, though he did many stunts, many looked forced and artificial. After the intense start, Srikanth Odela turned the narration into a predictable one with romantic elements etc. Couple of scenes in the first half stand and except that , it does not offer anything new and high. He tried to elevate the mother-son sentiment but the scenes do not connect chords as they looked forced and disappeared in the intense action sequences.In his quest to take Nani's mass image to the next level, Srikanth Odela did not concentrate on the story, screenplay and direction. Story looked predictable and one gets a feeling that he drew inspiration from Peddi, Devara, KGF, Pushpa, Salaar and many others. The chapter wise narration reminds one of the successful template of Dhurandhar. In the name of emotions, most of the actors went over the top bringing in artificiality. Similarly, he has taken many cinematic liberties and logics went missing. Excessive violence and use of obscene words and dialogues did not create the required impact.Reworking on the story and script and racy screenplay would have added value to the narration. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for The Paradise.

Jhanvi evoked few laughs in the role of a miser woman. She also emoted well during the climax. Payal Radhakrishna, Jinisha Alishetty, Roopa Srinivas and Sunaina performed according to their roles.

He starts the narration with the introduction of various female characters and then setting them on a France trip. The entire first half sails through in an entertaining and hilarious manner ending on a interesting emotional twist, setting the stage for the second half.Emotions takes the center stage in the second half with few comedy scenes in-between. The emotions of various female characters are highlighted. However, seeing those scenes on the screen, one gets a feeling that the director got stuck up with the 80s problems and melodrama associated with them. But for all his hard work to pierce the hearts of the viewers with emotional scenes pertaining to men and women, misfired completely. The climax emotional scene turned out to be over dramatic and missed the basic emotions. Once the film ends, viewers will heave a sigh of relief after all the emotional torture. The screenplay resembles that of many old films of the 80s and 90s.Subramaniyan Manigandan turned the scenes colorful with his cinematography. He showed the locations of France in a beautiful and visually appealing manner on the screen. &nbsp;Shekar Chandra's songs turned out to be average. However he elevated the scenes with his background music. Editing of Chota K Prasad is ok but could have been better as there are scenes that impacted the pace of the narration. Dialogues are ok.

The first half proceeds with the conflict between two cops and the revelation about Meghana and the interrogation of the suspects. The first half ends on an interesting note with few surprising revelations setting the tone for the second half.The second half goes further into murders and drugs etc. The first half included a song to highlight the father-daughter sentiment but it failed to generated the required emotions. The song placement looked odd and out of sync. They could have easily done away with the song.The main villian revelation did not excite anyone as the director failed to keep the viewers engaged with the suspense till the end. Viewers can easily guess the villian even before the end of the first half thus diluting the intensity levels in the second half. Many such films came earlier and the narration dragged with the routine breakup story of Karthik testing the patience of the viewers. The interval twist turns out to be decent and the second half turns little racy. But the predictable elements robbed the viewers of the excitement.Though few scenes in the runup to the finding of Meghana looked good, the weak villian turned out to be the main drawback. The climax ends on a routine note with an action sequence. There are many routine and predictable scenes in the second half as the narration proceeds towards the climax.The cinematography of Sam K Naidu is good. He showed the visuals in an appealing manner. However in few scenes, the color grading &nbsp;is not done at all robbing the viewers of the seamless experience on the screen. RR.Dhruvan's background music failed to make an impact. It is not in sync with the storyline. Re recording and mixing also turned out to be below average. However, the songs he tuned are good and shot well. Basava's editing left a lot to be desired. There are many repetitive scenes and he could have done away with one song completely and also many scenes especially in the first half. Production values are good.Missing Meghana Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Interesting Point</li><li>Few Scenes</li></ul>Missing Meghana Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable Elements</li><li>Weak Villian</li></ul>Missing Meghana(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Missing Meghana turns out to be another run of the mill crime thriller. Director Vachaspathy came up with an interesting point but he failed in his execution. Many predictable elements, repetitive scenes, dragged narration, weak villain ended up testing the patience of the viewers. Little finetuning of the script, racy screenplay, interesting twists, doing away with monotony would have added more substance to the final output. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.25 rating for Missing Meghana.
