&nbsp;&nbsp; Mega Star Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambhara was launched as a grand socio fantasy spectacle, immediately creating major excitement among fans. Directed by Mallidi Vassishta after Bimbisara, the UV Creations production promised mythology, fantasy, adventure and cutting edge visuals. Its scale, Chiranjeevi’s comeback to fantasy cinema and Trisha’s return alongside him made the announcement highly anticipated.The film was originally scheduled for Sankranti 2025, but the release was postponed as Ram Charan’s Game Changer occupied the festival slot. The bigger challenge soon became extensive VFX work. The team reportedly planned thousands of effects shots, eventually pushing the project through multiple potential release windows.The October 2024 teaser initially created curiosity but its visual effects drew significant criticism, weakening the film’s momentum. The makers later clarified that the teaser contained AI generated placeholder visuals created under time pressure, not final CGI. However, repeated delays and limited promotional content subsequently made audience interest difficult to sustain.Vishwambhara can still bounce back strongly with a captivating trailer, powerful songs, character glimpses and spectacular VFX that clearly demonstrate the film’s true scale. Its fantasy adventure, child friendly and family oriented appeal could work particularly well during a festive window. With compelling promotions and a confirmed date, Chiranjeevi’s film can rebuild anticipation quickly. An official release announcement remains crucial. However it depends on OTT deal too. - Veda

Let us find out what Sahaa-Life of Sanju offers to movie lovers.Sahaa Story ReviewSahaa-Life of Sanju's story revolves around a person and the happenings in his life and how he deals with them. Sanju (Shiva Kumar Kasaram) goes all out to woo a beautiful girl, Sahaa (Swetha Lakshman), ever since his childhood. What are the happenings in their lives, how it impacted their career and future, whether they fell in love, got married, and the other developments, and what role their near and dear ones played should be found out on the screen.Sahaa Artists ReviewShiva Kumar Kasaram played the lead role of Sanju, which is pivotal to the film and the entire story. He did full justice to the role. He showed variations in his body language, mannerisms, and screen presence through different timelines. He carried the film on his shoulders, taking viewers along with him into the narration with his expressions and emotions and captivating dialogue delivery.Swetha Lakhman played the female lead of Sahaa, and she was effective with impactful expressions and emotions. She looked good on the screen and made an impression with her presence. However, at times, she should have come up with a more intense performance.Vrajana Pandya also played a key role in the film, and she helped in carrying the film forward. Others who played key roles also did justice to them, adding value to the narration.Sahaa Technicians ReviewSahaa-Life of Sanju story is penned by Nishanth Doti. He came up with a story to connect chords with the viewers with a romantic emotional entertainer. He got the good concept but failed completely in his execution. He tried to generate interest among viewers by following a non-linear screenplay and narration, showing different timelines to and fro, but interest levels disappear as the entire idea becomes predictable with the passage of time.Despite that, the first half turns out decent, with a few interesting scenes setting the tone for the second half. The second half turns out to be even more routine and most of the scenes get a dragged feeling as the so-called emotions fail to make an impact even in the climax.The editing of Dinesh Peddi lacked crispness. He should have used the editing scissors more effectively. Sehkar Chandra's music is ok but the songs fail to make an impact on the viewers. He however came up with a perfect background score to elevate the scenes and emotions to another level. K.Karunakar's cinematography made the film look good on screen. Production values are good.Sahaa Advantages<ul><li>Shiva Kumar's performance</li><li>Few Scenes&nbsp;</li><li>BGM</li></ul>Sahaa Disadvantages<ul><li>Screenplay</li><li>Missing Emotions</li></ul>Sahaa Rating AnalysisAltogether, Sahaa-Life of Sanju turns out to be another routine emotional entertainer. Director Nishanth got good performances from Shiva Kumar Kasaram and Swetha Lakshman but he failed to do justice to the romantic emotional concept and idea with his screenplay and direction. The slow pace, predictable elements and missing emotions, undid all the good intentions. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.25 rating for Sahaa-Life of Sanju.

What's BehindDulqer Salmaan created a niche for himself doing different genre entertainers. He is now coming to thrill movie lovers with his upcoming film I'M Game. The film is directed by Nahas Hidhayath and teaser and trailer got good response. Dulqer is making his return to Malayalam industry after King of Kotha. Let us see how Dulqer Salmaan thrilled viewers saying I'M Game.Story ReviewI'm Game story revolves around a fearless man who is into gambling believing that he cracked its code and how he reacts in the aftermath of the turbulent things that impact his life.An impulsive gambler Dan John (Dulqer Salmaan) flourishes taking high risks riding on his lady luck. However this comes with shocking and startling happenings in his life. What are those startling happenings and how it is connected to Isha (Kayadu Lohar),Vignesh Vicky Das (Antony Varghese),David (Mysskin) and others from the exciting twists and turns.Artists ReviewI'm Game Hero Dulqer Salmaan is known for his riveting and captivating performances. However this time his performance turned out to be a roller coaster ride. At times he looked terrific on the screen and at other times he looked like a novice. His dialogues had an anglical accent and this may not go well with all viewers. He is good on screen with his body language, dialogue delivery and emotions.Kayadu Lohar is ok in her role. She looked good on the screen but got limited scope to show her acting talent. Antony Varghese Pepe steals the show with his impactful performance. So did Samyukta Viswanathan in her role. Mysskin played the role of the antagonist and his role is too predictable. To over come that he tried to bring in eccentricity but it impacted in a negative way. Vinay Forrt and Kathir were minimised on the screen. Others performed as per their roles.Technicians ReviewI'm Game story is penned by Nihas Hidayath. He came up with an interesting and exciting plot. However the narration and screenplay shifts completely turning the entire thing into a disjointed one. Nihas Hidayath narrated so many things and this makes viewers get accustomed to the happenings and the characters. But Nihas regained his composure and once he dealt with the main story, the narration turns interesting. But there are many scenes and characters that looked forced and out of sync to the story.While the first half after the initial confusion, turns interesting in the run up to the interval and brings an end setting to the exciting second half, the second half sinks even further. There are many unnecessary characters and the flat narration and uninspiring execution played the spoil sport. The flashback episodes undoes all the good intentions. Everything ended up irritating and testing the patience of the viewers.The music and background tuned by Jakes Bejoy turned out to be a disappointing affair. He tried to elevate the scenes that offered nothing new. Jimshi Khalid's cinematography got nothing much to excite . &nbsp;The editing of Chaman Chakko could have been far better as there are scenes that impacted the flow of the narration. Dialogues are ok and production values are grand.Advantages<ul><li>Unique Concept</li></ul>Disadvantages<ul><li>Screenplay</li><li>Confusing Narration&nbsp;</li><li>Cliched Elements&nbsp;</li><li>Listless Characterizations</li></ul>Rating AnalysisAltogether, I'm Game turns out to be average thriller. Dulqer Salmaan should be credited for selecting a different story and Nihas Hidayath came up with a unique plot. However, Nihas completely failed with his screenplay and direction. In trying to include more twists and turns, he introduced numerous characters ending up confusing the viewers. Everything turned flat and he failed to do justice with disappointing execution. A little finetuning of the script, racy screenplay, doing away with predictability could have added more spice to the proceedings. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.75 rating for I'm Game.

&nbsp;Rambha Oorvasi Menaka(2026) Movie: What's BehindAllari Naresh, on the eve of the Krishnashtami festival, decided to entertain movie lovers with the fictional comedy caper titled Rambha Oorvasi Menaka. The film, directed by Chandra Mohan Chintada, is releasing on 4 September 2026. Amazon Prime has bagged the film's OTT rights. Let us find out how Rambha Oorvasi Menaka entertained movie lovers.Rambha Oorvasi Menaka(2026) Movie: Story ReviewRambha Oorvasi Menaka's story revolves around a youngster who comes into possession of a book with mystical powers and the happenings in his life right after that.Soori ( Allari Naresh) passes time believing that one day he will become a Star Hero with the help of the mystical book, which he believes has powers.Where this leads to, what role Chinni ( Surabhi), SI Appal Naidu ( Shiju), his uncle CEO (Sr Naresh), Parimala ( Srinivas Reddy), and how it is related to Indra ( Vennela Kishore) in heaven, celestial Angels Rambha, Oorvasi, and Menaka form the rest of the narration.Rambha Oorvasi Menaka(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAllari Naresh is ok with his performance. The role is tailor-made for him, and he needs not do anything unique for the role. His comic timing is intact, and he did well in emotional scenes. Allari Naresh, since his entry, has done silly comedy films and, after a longtime once again did the same.Sr Naresh stole the show with his performance. He made an impact with his dialogue delivery, emotions, and expressions. His screen presence is good, and he entertained with his antics.Vennela Kishore is good in his role as Indra. Vishnu Priya, Prisha Singh, and Rashi Singh are ok in the roles of Rambha, Oorvasi, and Menaka.Rashi Singh got limited screen presence. She didn't get much scope to show her acting talent. Tarak Ponnappa is ok in the role of the antagonist.There are many actors like Kalyani Raj, Shiju, Hari Teja, Goparaju Ramana, Goparaju Vijay, RK.Mama, Rachi Ravi, Ravi Siva Teja, and they got blink-and-miss roles.Rambha Oorvasi Menaka(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewRambha Oorvasi Menaka story is penned by Chandramohan Chitanda. The story is similar to many old films like Yamaleela and others. Though there is scope to generate comedy, he failed to do so. Though there are a few scenes and youthful dialogues, none of them worked due to cliched scenes and outdated narration.Chota K Prasad's editing left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that are repetitive, and the predictable plot and weak script made the masters worse.Raam Reddy's cinematography and Chaitan Bharadwaj's music and background score are in sync with the story, and they are extremely outdated.Dialogues have an old flavor, and a few are hilarious. Production values are just average.Rambha Oorvasi Menaka Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Allari Naresh, Srinivas Reddy, Sr Naresh</li><li>Few Hilarious Scenes</li></ul>Rambha Oorvasi Menaka Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable Story</li></ul>Rambha Oorvasi Menaka(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Rambha Oorvasi Menaka is cringe to the core. Allari Naresh tried to return back to the comedy genre, and keeping in view director Chandra Mohan readies the story. But the problem is, Allari Naresh is stuck with the same 90s-era comedy, and the director also didn't try to come out of it. This resulted in a weak story, a silly screenplay, and listless direction. No amount of changes in the script and screenplay will change the output of the film. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Rambha Oorvasi Menaka. &nbsp;

Girish AD tried to touch up on the sensitivities of the people in relationship with significant age gap and how the society reacts. The story looks similar to the recent release Viswanath &amp; Sons which featured Suriya under the direction of Venky Atluri.Coincidentally both the films has Mamitha Baiju as the female lead. Girish AD unlike Venky Atluri who dealt with family emotions, decided to narrate the story in a hilarious and entertaining way. In this film, the age gap is reduced to just around 13 years unlike in Vishwanath &amp; Sons where it was more than 20 years.Right from the start till the finish, Girish AD included many scenes and hilarious elements to bring smiles and create a laughing riot in the theatres. The first half sails through smoothly with racy screenplay and sets the stage for the second half. However the second half falls apart with slow narration. He tried to continue in the same vein in the second half but he over did the comedy scenes and made viewers feel that the story is heading nowhere.There are many predictable elements in the second half and once the director's intention is known in the first half, viewers get disconnected . The dragged pre climax and the simple romance diluted the emotional blocks. To the top of it, the climax turned predictable.The music of Vishnu Vijay is beautiful. The songs are well shot and are situational. The songs added value to the narration. His background music elevated the scenes to the next level taking humour to the next level. The cinematography of Ajmal Sabu turned the film into a colorful one and visually appealing on the screen. Akash Joseph Varghese's editing turned out to be a mixed bag. While he turned the proceedings in the first half racy, the second half dragged at a snail's pace testing the patience of the viewers. Dialogues are funny and entertaining. Production values are good.Bethlehem Kutumba Unit Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Nivin Pauly, Mamitha Baiju</li><li>Music</li><li>Hilarious Scenes</li></ul>Bethlehem Kutumba Unit Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Missing Emotions</li><li>Predictable Plot</li><li>Snails Pace</li></ul>Bethlehem Kutumba Unit(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Bethlehem Kutumba Unit is funny and entertaining to the core. Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju came up with captivating performances and director Girish AD, dealt the sensitive topic in an extremely entertaining manner. Though the story simple and predictable and offered nothing new, he ensured that there are many hilarious scenes to keep viewers glued to the screen. He got the optimum out of the cast and crew. The screenplay is racy in the first half and nosedived in the second half. A little finetuning of the script, adding more emotions, doing away with the predictability would have added value to the narration. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Bethlehem Kudumba Unit. &nbsp;

These kind of roles are tailormade for him. He showed good expressions and emotions and generated enough fun in the scenes. Ananthika Sanil Kumar looked good on the screen. She looked cute, gorgeous and tried to express with her eyes. She played the role that confuses everyone and the director tried to generate fun around her role.Narendra Ravi who made an impression with the Pre Wedding Shoot, created a laughing riot with his performance. Whenever one got a feeling that the story is drifing and narration is heading nowhere, he pulled it back with his hilarious antics.

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

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

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

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

What surprises all is that the director did not include a female lead in the film. He showed the female character as the sister to the three main characters.The dialogues are entertaining and natural, and none of them look forced and out of sync. The interval bang is done well turning the first half into a decent one. The second half continues in the same manner, and the screenplay and narration goes in a smooth and sedate manner.However for all the positives, the director after highlighting the conflict point and establishing it quite well, ends the film in a flat manner, disappointing all.The cinematography of SVK showed the Hyderabad old city vibes in a natural and realistic way. He used the camera angles to perfection and showed the nightlife and also the day hustles quite well and in an effective manner.The background score of Smaran Sai is good and complemented the proceedings, adding value to the narration. He came up with foot-tapping songs highlighting the old city culture and Deccani flavor. The editing of Rohit Penumasta is ok but could have been better, as there are a few drags that slowed the pace of the narration. Production values are decent.Ameer Log Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Performances</li><li>Deccani Accent</li><li>Foot-tapping Songs</li><li>Cinematography</li></ul>Ameer Log Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Simple Ending</li><li>No Real Twists</li><li>Predictable Plot</li></ul>Ameer Log(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Ameer Log turns out to be a decent entertainer highlighting the Hyderabad Deccan culture. Director Ramana Reddy Soma got the optimum output from the cast and crew, and Hari Munnangi, Sasidhar Kocharlakota, and Manoj came up with spirited performances.The story is simple, but Ramana Reddy, with his screenplay, turned the film into an entertaining one blending humour, emotions, and Deccani dialogues in an effective way. However, predictability crept in with the passage of time, and the unidimensional screenplay hampered the proceedings. The rushed climax did not add much value to the ending. A little fine-tuning of the script and inclusion of a few more twists and turns would have added more power to the final impact. Considering all these points, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Ameer Log.

However, in between, he loses steam, but still, the first half ends on a decent note, setting the tone for the second half.He continues in the same manner in the second half but adds a few more intense emotional elements.

However, there is some lag in the proceedings, and a tighter screenplay with a little trimming in the second half could have made the film more engaging and impactful.Overall, Irumudi has its moments and works as a decent entertainer, with Ravi Teja’s performance and the emotional elements standing out.

Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: What's BehindSudhakar Reddy, Muralidhar Goud's Pallaburusu, directed by Uday Chauhan released on 14 Aug 2026. With Annapurna Studios getting associated with the project, interest levels increased. Let us find out what Pallaburusu offered to movie lovers.Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Story ReviewPallaburusu's story revolves around the happenings in the life of an aged father and how he reacts when he thinks that his son neglected and insulted him. Shambhu (Kethiri Sudhakar Reddy) gets disheartened as his son Tirupathi (Muralidhar Goud) for not buying him Pallaburusu( Tooth Brush) apart from insulting him on various occasions.Where this leads to, how Shambhu shocks Tirupathi, and what roles Ravi (Prajwal Yadma), Swetha (Gomathi Reddy), Kavitha, Rekha play form the rest of the developments.Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewKethiri Sudhakar Reddy virtually lived in the role. He looked jovial at times and showed his emotions and feelings when neglected by his son. The father-son bonding and conflict is elevated with his performance and natural expressions. Muralidhar Goud complimented him, and the scenes involving both of them helped carry the film forward with intensity levels intact.Prajwal Yadma and Gomathy did not get much scope to perform. They got inconsequential roles, and they tried their best to entertain with their performances.Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewPallaburusu story is penned by Uday Chauhan. He came up with a simple story to highlight the bonding between the children and parents and how the relations change in property disputes. One gets a feeling that he drew inspiration from the hit film Balagam. The narration in the first half flows in a neat and decent manner and sets the stage for the second half. The repetitive scenes in the second half diluted the intensity levels of the first half. However, the pre-climax and climax scenes bring the interest levels back. The screenplay turned out to be decent, and the direction is to the point.The music for Pawan CH is attractive and appealing. The songs are situational and are shot well. While one song is emotional, the other two songs are foot-tapping. His background music is in sync with the story. Vinod Bangari's cinematography is quite good. He showed the rural atmosphere in Telangana in a natural and realistic manner. Srujan Adusumilli's editing could have been far better as there are many repetitive scenes that dragged the pace of the narration. Dialogues are natural and hard-hitting. Production values are decent.Pallaburusu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e243c8363bbcc91d1475a5c23e19813ec">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="e688f7ce94fe211a4e098636e8dee19a0">Music</li><li data-list-item-id="eb67959d00143b170999ebb6da3152928">Cinematography</li></ul>Pallaburusu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ea4b9de0f99f6f789e9a1d1a21240c729">Dragged Narration</li><li data-list-item-id="e4eefd4e4f26bbbfbd112f43c49183daa">Lack of Conflict</li><li data-list-item-id="e09960c6e404ebdd053ff476ea73b3525">Predictable Plot</li></ul>Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Pallaburusu promises a lot but fails to deliver. Muralidhar Goud and Sudhakar Reddy comes with spirited performances and the director Uday Chauhan comes with simple story with interesting point. He tried to send a message to society in an entertaining manner but fails to connect chords with the viewers completely as the conflict point turns out to be weak.Uday Chauhan chose a simple point and tried to drive home an important message on how technology impacting the lives of people and children neglecting their parents in the old age. He takes the viewers into the story at the start itself but from then on failed to drive home the point in a convincing manner. The Ravi , Swetha love track and the father-daughter marriage episodes ends up testing the patience of the viewers.The court drama and the land dispute in the second half is shown in an illogical and silly manner. The point as to why son is hating his father is not shown in an elaborate manner and the father son bonding is not elevated properly except in the climax.A more racy screenplay, more intense and entertaining script would have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 1.75 rating for Pallaburusu.

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

With Suresh Babu's Suresh Productions getting associated with the film, interest levels are increasing.

How these characters influence the lives of the youngsters and where their choices eventually lead forms the rest of the story. Artists ReviewAnush Thorat performed well as an innocent boy whose life changes completely following the turn of events. He showed good expressions and emotions and endeared to all with his performance. Vasavi Ganeshan played the female role and her mannerisms, expressions and dialogue delivery connected chords with all the youth. She stole the show with her cute looks . She not only came up with energetic screen presence but also emoted well during the touching scenes.Prani Reddy did well in the role of Vasavi's cousin. Govardhan Reddy is good in the role of Vasavi's father. He emoted well, showing good expressions seeing his mother in his daughter. Ramesh Nakirenti and Sunitha Manohar are good in the roles of the parents of Anush Thorat. Anji Valguman performed well in an important role.Husharu Pittalu(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewHusharu Pittalu story is penned by Bikshu Yadav. He came up with a youthful romantic entertainer with a message to the youngsters and also elders. In order to connect chords with both these divergent sections, he loaded the first half with youthful elements and the second half with emotional elements trying to drive home the message.Though there are many bold scenes and dialogues in the first half, it connects chords with the youngsters as it was shown in an entertaining manner loaded with humorous elements. The interval block sets the stage for the second half. While the screenplay is racy and narration is quite fast paced in the first half, the second half narration slides down with monotonous elements. The preachy dialogues and repetitive scenes put off viewers. Finally the movie ends in a predictable manner.The music of Charan Arjun is good. The title song already became a chartbuster and it is choreographed in a good way on the screen. His background music is in sync with the story. Marthand K Venkatesh's editing is quite good in the first half. The pace in the second half dips due to repetitive scenes and intense emotions. He could have done away with the repetitive scenes. The cinematography of Rudra Sai is good. He showed the rural village atmosphere in a natural and rustic manner. Dialogues connect to youth in the first half and in the second half they become preachy and may put off a few of them. Production values are good.Husharu Pittalu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eaab4a7a9e69c99fad177be7679382d4f">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="ec182423bbc4828372cd61b4e74ee9604">Message</li></ul>Husharu Pittalu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e913fb5f4c84e11e39b49e0469f2264c2">Routine Shades</li><li data-list-item-id="e44d6a80f9a4838f881111f6615e26a29">Bold scenes involving minors</li></ul>Husharu Pittalu(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Husharu Pittalur turns out to be a decent, predictable youthful entertainer. Anush Thorat and Vasavi Ganeshan came up with spirited performances and director Bikshu Yadav starts in an entertaining way with youthful elements connecting chords with genex viewers ending the first half quite on a high note. When everyone expected a more entertaining second half, he turned preachy with monotonous elements and this slowed the pace of the narration and impacted the final output. The overdoing of bold scenes involving minors with just a statutory warning that it is a crime under POCSO act will put off right thinking people. Many will be under the impression that the makers included these scenes to attract genex viewers and then wash off their hands with a message in the climax. A little finetuning of the script, and attention to the second half would have added more power to the final output. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Husharu Pittalu.
