Keerthy Suresh captured the imagination of all with her performance in the role of legendary actress Savitri in the film Mahanati directed by Nag Ashwin. The film got her the national award for her performance but right after that her career witnessed a slump.Talking about it, Keerthy Suresh shared “First of all, I needed a break at that time because I was working back-to-back. In a way, I was happy until I realised that my financial stability was going for a toss. But in those six months, I started doing nicer things.”She added “I used the time to transform myself and take care of my body. From 2013 to 2018, I only used to shoot, eat, sleep and repeat. There was nothing called workout in my life. I was like, ‘Mera face toh kaam kar raha hai (My face is working), why do I’ve to worry about my body?’ But that wasn’t the right perspective. I was a little plump and I wanted to get healthy – not because I wanted to look a certain way. In those six months, I started working out for the first time. That’s when I had a makeover.”She shared that the &nbsp;makers struggled to figure out what roles to offer her after Mahanati. Before the biopic, she had largely played girl-next-door characters, and the success of the film changed how she was perceived in the industry. She said the film eventually opened doors to more substantial roles.-- Nirvighn Nandivada &nbsp;

&nbsp; Venkatesh and Trivikram Srinivas joining hands for Aadarsha Kutumbam created good expectations among Telugu movie fans. However, the film’s USA advance bookings are yet to show the expected response. With premiere pre sales reportedly around $40,000 just days before release, the film needs a strong push to build momentum.The combination of Venkatesh’s family audience and Trivikram’s popularity among overseas Telugu viewers raised hopes for a big opening in North America. A $1 million premiere target now looks difficult, while even reaching $500,000 would require a sharp rise in ticket sales. The current numbers suggest that the film needs stronger audience interest before its release.One possible reason for the slow bookings is the confusion surrounding the release date. October 30 was initially discussed, followed by reports of a November 13 release, before the October 30 date was confirmed close to the event. This left the team with limited time to build awareness and push advance ticket sales.The songs have also received mixed reactions, which may have affected the pre release buzz. Still, the film has time to improve its position through stronger promotions and positive audience feedback. Family entertainers can attract more viewers after release if the content connects with them. Aadarsha Kutumbam is scheduled to hit theatres on October 30, and the coming days are important for its USA opening. - Veda

&nbsp;&nbsp; Ramayana is being planned on a scale rarely seen in Indian cinema, but its reported budget brings huge box office pressure. The first part reportedly needs more than ₹2,000 crore in worldwide gross collections to break even, making it one of the toughest targets for an Indian film.The makers have reportedly put the combined budget for both parts, including global marketing, at around ₹4,000 crore. Part 1 alone is said to cost nearly ₹1,400 crore. Digital, satellite and other non theatrical deals can recover part of this amount, but the theatrical business still needs to deliver a massive return.Based on the reported figures, the producers need a theatrical share of over ₹900 crore from Part 1, which could require worldwide gross collections above ₹1800 crore. No Indian film has reached that mark during its original worldwide theatrical run. Dangal crossed the range later with help from its China release.Ramayana is aiming for audiences beyond India, with an English version and international distribution handled by Sony Pictures. Its opening will be closely watched, as strong word of mouth and overseas collections could shape expectations for Part 2. - Veda

According to the latest, the early reviews from the overseas are out and here are few of them.X user tweeted, "Saw the film this week. I enjoyed it for the most part but did not appreciate the English dubbing, which I conveyed to Sony. I would much prefer to see films in their original language, in this case, Hindi, which I understand anyway (sic)."When an X user asked her if she felt any connection to the story, Priya tweeted, "I did. I felt connected to the story (emotional, powerful) and I loved the music. I liked the Indian score/music by AR Rahman much more than the parts Hans Zimmer scored. I believe they cut some of the songs for the English version, though (sic)." Further, when the X user asked her if the film featured Sunny Deol's character Lord Hanuman, she decided not to spill any spoilers.While responding to another X user, Priya mentioned that she felt emotional while watching the film. She also clarified that she had not watched it in 3D or IMAX, adding that the English version did not feature any full-length songs.When an X user asked her about the film's VFX, Priya replied that they were impressive, although some action sequences looked like AI-generated. She also weighed in on the film budget, writing, "Well, I wouldn’t say that it’s totally on par with The Odyssey, for example. That film had an all-star cast and a very well-known director attached to it. That was evident in the execution. I enjoyed the Ramayana but thought RRR, for instance, was a better film (sic)."When an X user asked her why she prefers RRR more than Ramayana, she replied, "I liked the story, acting, VFX, and music better in RRR vs Ramayana. I still have the same dubbing problem with both films, however. I have never been able to watch RRR in its original Telugu form in the U.S. I have watched the Hindi dubbed version several times (sic)."She then praised Yash for his portrayal and said that the film had no issue in general though, "There’s no ISSUE.

&nbsp;Few decades back top stars never used to promote their films. At times they used to participate in audio functions and very rarely they used to interact with media. However, things chaanged. Seeing how Bollywood stars like Aamir Khan through promotions increasing his films reach, Tollywood stars also started participating in the promotions.Mahesh Babu who used to be reserved, also started participating in the promos. Mid range heroes also started pushing their films and media chitchats and one to one interviews increased. But now once again star heroes are not getting accessed to media.Only small films and their heroes are giving interviews but others started staying away from them. Many feel they donot like to answer the questions posed by the media or the controversy their comments may trigger on social media. But they are not stopping promoting their films. Instead of giving interviews to media, the film unit are giving common interviews to anchors like Suma.They are giving the same feed to all the media and finishing the formalities. This is saving them considerable time and they feel that this is saving them of numerous headaches. They are following the strategy started by Rajamouli.-- Pramod Nandivada &nbsp;

Fans have got frustrated with no advance booking counters for \'Sardaar Gabbar Singh\' opened for multiplexes until this afternoon.

And within no time tickets have been sold out for the first day and subsequent days. The movie is set for a record number of benefit shows across AP and Telangana states.&nbsp;\r\nOn the other hand, the Hindi version of the movie is getting released in 800 screens in North India.

\'Baahubali\'s Telugu version collected around Rs.172 crores in its full run. However, several factors including unprecedented media publicity, 130+ crores budget, Rajamouli, Prabhas, Rana, other technicians and no competition from any other Telugu film for one month are the reasons for the movie accumulating unbelievable shares.\r\nAnd then Prince Mahesh\'s \'Srimanthudu\' stands next with Rs.83 crores share which is just 2+ crores more to that of Power Star Pawan Kalyan\'s industry hit \'Atharintiki Daredi\'s 81 crores share.&nbsp;\r\nAnd now, the million dollar question is that how well \'Sardaar Gabbar Singh\' performs at the box office. Given the never seen hype and hoopla prevailed all over, the movie is sure to break previous opening records. It has been told that a total of 300 premieres have been planned in the US surpassing \'Baahubali\'s 118 shows. Also, 350 benefit shows of the movie have been planned tonight after 12:30 am in Telugu states. If at all the movie carries positive talk, it may not stop at 80 crores or 90 crores. The movie may cross the collections of \'Atharintiki Daredi\' and \'Srimanthudu\' with a huge margin proving the stamina of Pawan Kalyan. As per the trends, the movie can surpass Rs.50+ crores share in its first weekend itself. And no wonder, the movie might target \'Baahubali\' collections in long run if the steady collections are recorded in upcoming days.

Ranabaali (2026) Movie: What's BehindVijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna coming back together after Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade especially after their marriage itself builds curiosity. Add to it, director Rahul Sankrityan, the man behind Taxiwaala and Shyam Singha Roy picking a 1854 to 1878 Rayalaseema famine backdrop, and Mythri Movie Makers backing it on a grand scale. Promos promised blood, pain and a never seen before Vijay. It's OTT streaming partner is announced as Netflix. Ranabaali hit theatres on October 16th. Let's see how it turns out to be.Ranabaali (2026) Movie: Story ReviewRanabaali is set in Rayalaseema between 1854 and 1878, during British rule. Singanamala Bobbili Ranabaali (Vijay Deverakonda) is born into a Palegaadu family. As per legend, he is born without breath and is blessed by Lord Bhadramallanna Swamy with life for two pushkarams. He grows up as a ferocious, going to any extent to protect his people guy. To bring him on track, his family gets him married to Jayamma (Rashmika). She tries to change him. At the same time, the whole Madras region is hit by a terrible famine, British commissioner Sir Theodore Hector (Arnold Vosloo) was appointed as the commissioner for Madras presidency and his brutal decisions leads to looting grains, lands with heavy taxes and people are dying of hunger. When Ranabaali witness that suffering with his own eyes, he turns into a rebel fighting for his people. How does he protect and turns into a nightmare to Britishers forms the crux of the story.Ranabaali (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVijay Deverakonda is genuinely sincere as Ranabaali. This is totally away from his usual urban lover boy image. He has worked hard on his body language as a drunk, careless youth in early scenes and as a ferocious warrior in action blocks. Initially it seems his Rayalaseema dialect and histrionics seem forced but gets better as the movie progresses. In many scenes, his eyes and expressions do more talking than dialogues. Interval bang and climax are where he truly shines. You can feel the anger, helplessness and pain of a leader in him.Rashmika as Jayamma is lovely but her screen time is limited. In the first half, her scenes with Vijay are heartwarming, they give you that light feel in such a heavy film. She brings grace and emotion, and it's good to see she in a role which has very good importance to the story proceedings. But she suddenly disappear and only appears during the later hour in second half and brings emotional anchor.Lal as Bhadramallanna appears in just 2-3 scenes but makes an impact. Mummy fame Arnold Vosloo as brutal commissioner did menacing act. Eshwari Rao, Vivek Sagar, Kancharapalem Kishore and others are fine in their parts.Ranabaali (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewIf you compare both halves, first half is definitely better. Rahul takes his time to create the world of 1858 Rayalaseema - the Palegaadu system, the British torture, Ranabaali's personal life. Even it is a bit slow here and there, but the Vijay - Rashmika track and period detailing keep us hooked. Interval gives a good high. Second half starts on a powerful note but soon becomes too heavy. The film keeps showing back to back suffering, battles and grief. After a point, it feel choked. We can feel the suffering more than the heroism, because the heroic payoffs don't elevate mainly due to lack of pulsating BGM. With a runtime of almost 2 hours 58 minutes, it feels stretched.Technically, the film is rich. Cinematography by Jishnu Bhattacharjee, and Nirav Shah is one of the biggest assets, it beautifully captures the dry lands, forts and villages of 19th century Rayalaseema. Production design needs a special mention. Except for a few hill portions, you won't feel it's a set, it looks like a real location. Costumes and art department have done a great job. Where the film slips badly is music. Except for Melody song between Vijay and Rashmika, no other song registers. For a film of this scale, it is expected a thundering BGM to lift those elevation scenes. But the score by Ajay - Atul duo lacks that power. That's why even well shot heroic moments and heavy emotional scenes don't give you goosebumps. If those painful scenes had ended with a strong high, the impact would have been much better. Editing by Karthika Srinivas is impressive in the first half but needs trimming in second half.Ranabaali Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Vijay Deverakonda - Rashmika</li><li>First Half</li><li>Conviction Towards Story</li><li>Production Design</li></ul>Ranabaali Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Weak Elevations</li><li>BGM</li><li>Lengthy Second Half</li><li>Heavy Emotions</li></ul>Ranabaali (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisRanabaali has a strong historical backdrop and some impactful moments, but the slow narration and lengthy runtime prevent it from making the desired impact. Vijay Deverakonda delivers a committed performance, while his chemistry with Rashmika Mandanna works in the film’s favour. The portrayal of famine conditions and British oppression also gives the story emotional weight.However, the screenplay loses momentum in the second half, with repetitive sequences and predictable developments affecting the overall experience. The background score and lack of emotional depth in some key scenes further weaken the impact. Despite its sincere attempt and a few engaging moments, the film struggles to sustain interest throughout its nearly three-hour runtime.Considering all these factors Cine Josh is going with 2.5 rating for 'Ranabaali'.

Ranabaali Review

Crazy Kalyanam(2026) Movie: What's BehindAnupama Parameswaran, Tharun Bhascker, VK Naresh and Akhil Raj come together for Crazy Kalyanam, directed by Badrappa Gajula. The film deals with a father's concerns about his daughter's marriage and her wish to become independent. With a rural Telangana backdrop and a mix of family drama and comedy, the film has an interesting point to make. Let us see how it works on screen.Crazy Kalyanam(2026) Movie: Story ReviewParvathalu (VK Naresh) has two daughters. His elder daughter is married to Balaraju (Tharun Bhascker), a man whose drinking habits and irresponsible behaviour keep creating problems for the family. Having seen this situation, Parvathalu wants to find a better match for his younger daughter Keerthi (Anupama Parameswaran). He looks for a wealthy groom who has a good background and no bad habits.Keerthi, however, has different plans. She wants to complete her education, get a job and stand on her own feet. She loves Uday (Akhil Raj), who has been in love with her since childhood. But Uday does not have a job or the financial background her father expects.Things get complicated when Parvathalu finalises a marriage proposal from a wealthy family. What will Keerthi do? Will her father understand her wishes? The rest of the story revolves around these questions.Crazy Kalyanam(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAnupama Parameswaran does a good job as Keerthi. She gets the Telangana slang right and brings the right emotions to her character. Her performance is one of the film's positives.VK Naresh gets a role that gives him a chance to show his emotional side. He is particularly effective in the final 30 minutes, where a lengthy scene stands out. His performance adds weight to the climax, even though the film takes too long to reach that point.Tharun Bhascker has the potential to bring more laughs as Balaraju, but the writing doesn't make full use of his comic timing. His character could have been much more entertaining. Akhil Raj has a good screen presence and suits the romantic role, though the love track itself lacks freshness.Crazy Kalyanam(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDirector Badrappa Gajula chooses a subject that many families can relate to. The film also has a meaningful message about girls becoming independent and parents supporting their daughters ambitions. But a good idea alone isn't enough to make a film work.The first half takes too long to establish the characters and get to the main conflict. Even Keerthi and Uday's love story fails to create much interest. The story picks up when Parvathalu diverts a marriage proposal intended for another family member and decides to arrange the match for his own daughter. However, the interval lacks the impact needed to make viewers curious about what happens next.The second half also has its share of slow moments. The English classes track and some village episodes don't add much to the story. Tharun Bhascker provides a few lighter moments, but his comedy could have been used more effectively.The film finally finds some emotional strength in the last 30 minutes. The scenes involving Naresh's character bring the much-needed intensity, and the climax conveys the importance of a girl getting an education and becoming independent. However, a fight added towards the end feels forced and doesn't fit naturally into the story.The cinematography captures the village atmosphere well, while the editing could have been sharper. The number of songs also affects the pace in places. A tighter screenplay and more engaging first half would have made a noticeable difference.Crazy Kalyanam: Advantages<ul><li>Anupama Parameswaran</li><li>VK Naresh's performance</li><li>A meaningful message</li><li>Rural Telangana backdrop</li></ul>Crazy Kalyanam: Drawbacks<ul><li>Familiar romantic track</li><li>Slow narration</li><li>Emotional scenes lack impact</li><li>Slow first half</li><li>Comedy that works only in parts</li></ul>Crazy Kalyanam(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisCrazy Kalyanam has a relatable story at its core. A father wants his daughter to marry into a wealthy family because he fears she might face the same problems as her elder sister. Meanwhile, the daughter wants to study, get a job, and make her own decisions. There is enough scope here for an engaging family drama.Unfortunately, the film takes too long to get going. The romance doesn't create much interest, the comedy has failed in many parts, several scenes feel like they are only filling time. The final 30 minutes are considerably better, with VK Naresh delivering an emotional performance that helps the film recover somewhat.The director's intentions are good, but the screenplay needed more work to turn the subject into a consistently engaging entertainer. The climax makes a point worth hearing, yet the journey towards it feels unnecessarily long.Crazy Kalyanam(2026) Movie: VerdictCrazy Kalyanam has a good message and finds some emotional strength towards the end. Anupama Parameswaran and VK Naresh deliver noteworthy performances, but the slow narration and missed opportunities with comedy hold the film back. Better writing and a tighter screenplay could have made this a more satisfying family entertainer.

Crazy Kalyanam Review

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

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

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

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

Little fine-tuning will take him to the next level.Malaika Vasupal is ok in her looks and performed well complementing the protagonist in a perfect manner. Both of them with their performances helped the story to move forward.Brahmaji and Indraja as the parents of the protagonist did justice while Suman and Manichandana did the same in the role of the female lead's parents. Sudarshan evoked few laughs while Anushka Luhar and LB.Sriram got limited roles.Chakkora -The Lunar Bird(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewChakkora The Lunar Love Bird story is written by Manga Srinivas. He starts the narration in a typical but interesting manner. He then tries to show the hero trying to win the heart of the girl with his antics and they turn routine. Though the story has predictable elements, he tries to generate interest with the screenplay.To some extent, he succeeded. The second half Jitender drags it to the core, with the hero searching endlessly before the twist, which is routine, is revealed. Finally, the film concludes with a message that it is not the end of the road with love failure and breakup, and one can move forward, savoring the memorable moments.Manga Srinivas did a decent job with the story, screenplay, and direction. The songs tuned by Prince Henry are foot-tapping and melodious. They are shot well on screen and added value to the narration. His background music elevated the scenes, taking viewers into the story.The cinematography is taken care of by Ruppa Gopikrishna and captured the scenic locations aptly, giving a realistic feel to the scenes. Dialogues are fine and according to the situation. Production values are decent.Chakkora -The Lunar Bird Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Sravan</li><li>Music</li></ul>Chakkora -The Lunar Bird Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Preachy Elements</li><li>Predictable Scenes</li></ul>Chakkora -The Lunar Bird(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Chakkora The Lunar Love Bird turns out to be a decent entertainer with predictability. While the first half has some moments, the second half turns routine with preachy and repetitive elements that impact the flow of the narration. A little fine-tuning of the script would have added value to the final outcome. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Chakkora The Lunar Love Bird.

Hanuman Ansh Review

Comrade Kalyan(2026) Movie: What's BehindSree Vishnu has built a reputation for entertaining audiences with his natural comic timing and films that explore different genres. He now arrives with Comrade Kalyan, a comedy entertainer set against the backdrop of Naxal activity in the 1990s. Directed by Janakiram Marella and presented by Kona Venkat, the film attempts to mix romance, comedy and serious situations. Let us see how far Sree Vishnu's latest outing succeeds in entertaining audiences.Comrade Kalyan(2026) Movie: Story ReviewKalyan (Sree Vishnu) runs a theatre on lease in a village and has a special interest in screening films featuring R. Narayana Murthy. His life takes a turn when he falls in love with Sitara (Mahima Nambiar), a young woman from Odisha. Just as he prepares to express his feelings, an unexpected development pushes him into a difficult situation, forcing him to take a decision that changes his life.The story connects Kalyan's personal troubles with his mother Sarasathamma (Radhika Sarathkumar), Sitara's family and the conflict involving the police and Naxal groups. An IPS officer, George Kutti (Shine Tom Chacko), and several other characters become part of the unfolding drama. How Kalyan gets caught up in these developments and what follows form the rest of the story.Comrade Kalyan(2026) Movie: Artists' PerformancesSree Vishnu does his best to keep the film engaging with his familiar comic timing. He manages to generate laughs in a few sequences, but the character itself does not offer much novelty. The writing limits his performance, leaving him with little opportunity to explore different shades of the role.Mahima Nambiar gets limited scope despite playing a key character in the story. Satya provides some entertaining moments, although his comedy does not work consistently. Sudarshan also contributes to a few lighter sequences. Radhika Sarathkumar makes her presence felt, while Shine Tom Chacko gets a routine police officer role that does not fully utilise his abilities.The supporting cast includes Vennela Kishore, Brahmaji, Upendra Limaye, Sai Chand, Shatru, Srikanth Iyengar and others. Most of them play their parts adequately, but the writing gives several characters little room to make a lasting impression. Some comedy sequences also feel forced rather than naturally emerging from the situations.Comrade Kalyan(2026) Movie: Technicians' ReviewDirector Janakiram Marella chooses an interesting backdrop by bringing together village life, romance, comedy and Naxal activity. The idea offers scope for an entertaining story with a different flavour, but the execution remains uneven. The first half spends considerable time on romantic and comic episodes, many of which feel routine. The screenplay struggles to connect these scenes to the main conflict in a convincing manner.The second half offers opportunities to move into more serious territory, but the film continues to rely heavily on comedy. The shift between humour and drama does not always feel natural, and the emotional moments lack the impact needed to strengthen the story. A few sequences work, but the overall narration would have benefited from tighter writing and better pacing.Vijai Bulganin's music is decent, with a couple of songs working reasonably well on screen. The background score supports the proceedings without becoming a major highlight. Sai Sriram's cinematography captures the setting adequately, while the production values are satisfactory. Chota K Prasad's editing could have been sharper, as several scenes drag and affect the film's pace. The dialogues offer occasional laughs but rely too often on familiar double-meaning humour.Comrade Kalyan Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Sree Vishnu's comic timing</li><li>A few entertaining sequences</li><li>Some songs and decent production values</li></ul>Comrade Kalyan Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Routine story and screenplay</li><li>Uneven comedy</li><li>Weak emotional connect</li><li>Slow narration in several portions</li></ul>Comrade Kalyan(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisComrade Kalyan has a workable premise and a capable lead actor, but the film does not make the most of either. Sree Vishnu tries to carry the proceedings with his comic timing, and a few sequences provide entertainment. However, repetitive humour, weak characterisation and an uneven screenplay prevent the film from becoming a consistently engaging entertainer.The Naxal backdrop could have added weight to the story, but the narrative struggles to balance its serious elements with the comedy. Better writing and tighter editing might have made a significant difference. The film has enough moments to offer some entertainment, but it falls short of delivering a satisfying theatrical experience throughout.Considering its performances, occasional laughs and technical merits alongside its writing and pacing issues, CineJosh rates Comrade Kalyan 2.5/5.

&nbsp;Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: What's BehindSandalwood film Premada Oorelli, which turned out to be a successful outing in Kannada, is releasing in Telugu as Premane Oorilo. Let us see whether the film manages to connect with Telugu audiences.Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: Story ReviewPremane Oorilo revolves around relationships, love and the impact of people's mindsets and preconceived notions.Santhu aka Santosh (Shree Raam) has been focused on helping his father Naganna (Rangayana Raghu) with agriculture since childhood. Naganna has his own dreams about his son's marriage. The entry of village tomboy Vasantha (Ramika Shivu) and foreign-returned Rukmini (Thapaswini Poonacha) changes the situation.How Santosh handles the situation and where his relationships eventually lead form the crux of the story.Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewShree Raam is decent in his role and makes an impact in a few emotional scenes in the second half. Ramika Shivu is good as the tomboyish Vasantha and handles the emotional portions well. Her traditional look also brings a different shade to the character.Thapaswini Poonacha is fine as the foreign-returned girl and delivers a passable performance. Rangayana Raghu once again proves his experience and elevates several scenes with his performance. The actor playing the grandmother also does well, while the rest of the cast perform adequately.Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: Technical ReviewDirector Manoj Kumar comes up with a familiar triangular love story set against a village backdrop. The first half focuses on character introductions, village life, one-sided love and comedy before building towards the interval twist. However, the proceedings take time to reach the point.The second half shifts towards marriage, life after marriage, emotions and a flashback. Though some emotional sequences work, the narration becomes stretched in places. The flashback follows a somewhat old-school treatment, but it is handled reasonably well. The climax delivers the expected emotional impact.The songs composed by Sunaad Gowtham are soothing and melodious. The background score also adds value to the emotional scenes. Rajkanth SK's cinematography is one of the film's better aspects, beautifully capturing the village setting.Editing by Harshith Prabhu could have been tighter, as some scenes slow down the proceedings. The Telugu dubbing also suffers from lip-sync issues in places. Production values are decent and the dialogues work in a few scenes.Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Performances</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Music and BGM</li><li>Emotional sequences</li></ul> Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Slow narration</li><li>Predictable storyline</li><li>Stretched second half</li><li>Telugu dubbing issues</li></ul> Premane Oorilo (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisOverall, Premane Oorilo is a familiar emotional love story that works in parts. The predictable storyline and slow narration prevent it from becoming a compelling romantic drama, but the performances, village backdrop, music and a few emotional sequences give the film some engaging moments. The second half has better emotional impact despite the stretched treatment.Considering all these elements, CineJosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Premane Oorilo. &nbsp;

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.
