&nbsp;&nbsp;Amitabh accuses media of twisting his words. Amitabh Bachchan couple of days back posted "Now watch how they turn this into a headline!!!! Don't try to scare us, my friend. If you stop writing about us, that's no problem. We have our own newspaper running here now. You do one, and we'll do a hundred!!!! Go on! Bring your elephants and horses... We'll bring ours too – Haathi ghoda palki, Jai Kanhaiya Lal ki! (an elephant, a horse and a palanquin, glory to Lord Krishna!) ...!!!!"Later Amitabh criticised scribes for twisting his words. He posted &nbsp;'twisting his words' and portraying his earlier post as an 'open challenge' to his enemies. He wrote in Hindi, "In praise of Lord Krishna, people often chant the following prayer: 'Hathi ghoda palki, Jai Kanhaiya Lal ki (An elephant, a horse and a palanquin – glory to Lord Krishna!)' But the media has disrespected this devotional chant and, to promote itself, published headlines suggesting: 'Look, Amitabh is challenging his opponents, saying, 'Bring your elephants and horses; we will fight with our weapons and will not be afraid!'"He called it a "gross insult" to a chant celebrating Jai Shri Krishna and added, "second, a deliberate twisting of words to make it seem as though I am challenging my opponents. Listen carefully, members of the media! We have a following of 50 million people. The day I give the signal, even just 10 per cent of them will be ready to take action. Our EF has the capacity to do a hundred times more than the criticism you direct at us by twisting our words. They are only waiting for me to give the word."To support his claim, he shared a Hindi news report, which translates to, "Amitabh Bachchan takes a dig at opponents over their threats, vents his anger through a cryptic post – 'Go on, bring your elephants and horses'."He continued &nbsp;"Have you seen this? An insult to religion, and...- Betuka – Absurd, nonsensical or silly, Hasyaspad – Ridiculous or laughable (invoking derision) and Asangat – Inconsistent or illogical. These are the people who are considered the country's fifth column. The other four columns are regarded with respect and honour in our traditions. The fifth is called so because its members are given respect and a place of honour in society by the people of the country!"The actor concluded, “Respect??? Nothing could be more ridiculous... If we make a mistake – and mistakes do happen – we immediately apologise and try to correct it. But here, it seems they believe that being this way is their birthright...I was about to speak about the affection and love of a person who is in pain before going to sleep. But I will not call myself a victim. The right to speak about my pain belongs to me alone. It is not something meant for you, the media.” - Pramod Nandivada &nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp; Ram Gopal Varma on films influencing violence in the society. The shocking attack on two class 10 girls in Andhra Pradesh attracted huge outcry among public and many started blaming the filmmakers for the excessive violence that is influencing people in real life.In the midst of all this, Ram Gopal Varma cme up with a powerful take. He posted"Blaming films for rise in violence is like , blaming Ramayana for rise in kidnappings".However few netizens didnot support him. They reacted with the following comments.Stop pretending cinema has zero social responsibility by bringing in historical references. That's not going to wash away or lessen your role. Some of the most cruel and gruesome murders are made to look so chill and heroic in movies that even our 8-year-olds are growing up like monsters.. It's time you guys take some shame and responsibility for what you put out there and do your part in curbing this.”“Nobody is saying films directly cause crime but pretending cinema has zero influence on society is equally stupid. Cinema shapes perceptions, normalises behaviour and influences what audiences celebrate.”"I tend to disagree. We become what we consume. People underplay how deeply media, in all forms, shapes behaviour &amp; choices. This is due to a psychological blind spot known as the 3rd-person effect— the belief that other people are easily persuaded by media while we stay immune."“In a country like India, where cinema has an enormous influence on people's mindsets, attitudes &amp; perceptions, pretending that films cannot shape or reinforce social behaviour is nothing but intellectual dishonesty. You can deny it all you want but masses do get influenced by it.”- Pramod Nandivada &nbsp;

BookMyShow has dominated India’s online movie ticketing market for years, but Zomato owned District is quickly changing the competition. Fresh figures from PVR INOX’s H1 FY27 performance show District’s online ticket sales grew 61% year on year between April and September 2026. BookMyShow, meanwhile, recorded no growth during the same period.The numbers suggest that District is steadily gaining ground at one of India’s biggest cinema chains. Launched in 2024 after Eternal acquired Paytm’s ticketing business, the platform has expanded much faster than many expected. Reports say District generated over ₹970 crore in revenue during FY26, its first full financial year.District is also building its presence beyond movie bookings through concerts, sports and other live events. Its combination of dining, movies and entertainment gives users more reasons to open the app. Reports also indicate that its weekly active users have crossed 60% of BookMyShow’s, despite the huge difference in their years of operation.BookMyShow still has a strong position in movie tickets and major entertainment events, but the competition is becoming tougher. District benefits from Zomato’s large customer base and promotional offers, while other platforms are also exploring this market. If the growth continues, moviegoers could see more discounts, better deals and stronger competition. - Veda &nbsp;

Om will now be releasing on 20 November.Dhanush already announced that one should respect the release date of Scene makers who announced the film release long timeback.

Dhanush is the producer of Om and everyone knows the difficulties when the film postpones.This reminds of Sanikranti fight in 2025 in Tollywood. Ram Charan's Game Changer, Balakrishna's Daku Mahraj and Venkatesh's Sankrantiki Vasthunnam released at the same time.

Sekhar Kammula has spoken about the growing use of violence in commercial films. In a very recent interview, the director said filmmakers should not assume that bloodshed guarantees box office success, as audiences continue to look for stories that create a strong emotional connection with viewers.He explained that a film becoming a hit does not mean its style will become a lasting industry trend. According to Sekhar Kammula, trends keep changing, but viewers know what they want. Any film, whether action packed or quiet, can find an audience when its story and emotions feel honest and relatable.The director added that good art and sincere filmmaking can stand the test of time. His comments reflect the approach seen in films such as Anand, Godavari and Fidaa, where relationships and everyday emotions take centre stage.Sekhar Kammula last was Dhanush and Nagarjuna starrer Kuberaa which was released in 2025. When asked about his latest project, he said that work is going on and he will anounce about it in a couple of months. - Veda

&nbsp;&nbsp;The real problem in Peddi. Even &nbsp;after the months of Peddi release, many are talking about Janhvi Kapoor's controversial exposing scenes. While some are supporting the filmmakers, others are supporting Janhvi Kapoor. However what not many are realising is exposing is not the real problem in Peddi.In many films heroines exposed and they will continue to do so in future also in the films. But problems in Peddi rose as many expected the female lead to be strong in Ram Charan and Buchi Babu Sana's Peddi as Buchi is the protege of Sukumar.Though the female lead donot have screen presence, all eyes are on how they portrayed the heroine's character. But more than the glamor treat, the characterisation turned out to be cheap. Hero forcibly kissing the female lead and then portraying it as the true love. How can anyone portray true love without the consent of the female lead.The director should have thought about all these things. Even in The Paradise, Kayadu Lohar's character is not presented in a powerful manner. Even in Bollywood there are many instances where they are shown indulging in glamor treat. Even in Devara, Janhvi's role is not presented in a proper way. But these didnot trigger much discussion but Peddi landed in controversy as the story revolved around Janhvi's character.Stalking , forcible kissing's and atrocities in women shown in films should be questioned strongly irrespective of te industry. If Peddi has such scenes one should question but it should not be a one off incident and target of one film.- Nirvighn Nandivada &nbsp;

Every team, especially the CGI team, which consists of nearly 400 artists, has been working on this film day and night for over a year and a half.

I’m sure that in the next year, AI will be everywhere beyond graphics.”He continued &nbsp;“But every frame of Mookuthi Amman 2 has been worked on by our very own Tamil Nadu technicians. If you look at the CGI and think it’s good, praise it. There are almost 3000 shots that require CGI in this film. Out of them, only 15 shots used AI. This is a heroine-oriented movie; Nayan is the heroine, and Regena is the anti-heroine. But the true heroes of this film are the technicians and crew members who worked on it.”The film features Nayanthara reprising her role as the titular Goddess and also plays a police officer. Regena Cassandrra and Duniya Vijay play the antagonists. Urvashi, Yogi Babu, Abhinaya, Ramachandra Raju (Garuda Ram), Myna Nandini, and Singampuli make up the rest of the cast.- Nirvighn Nandivada

&nbsp;&nbsp; Venkatesh - Trivikram’s latest family entertainer Aadarsha Kutumbam House No: 47 has become a talking point for an unexpected reason. Music director Thaman composed eight songs for the film, and all of them featured in the official jukebox. However, only three songs made it into the theatrical version, leaving audiences surprised.The biggest surprise was the removal of Maala, a mass number that was promoted before the film’s release. The song was reportedly shot on a grand set with a huge budget. Its lyrical video also received attention, but the response on social media was mixed, with some fans questioning the lyrics and tune.Reports suggest that the makers may have decided to remove Maala to maintain the film’s pace and avoid unnecessary scenes. Aadarsha Kutumbam is mainly a content driven family drama, so the team might have felt that the song did not fit naturally into the story. The second half also received comments about its slow pace.Removing a song made on such a big budget could mean a financial loss for the producers. However, the makers may have felt that keeping the film engaging was more important. Thaman has reportedly described Aadarsha Kutumbam as a film driven by dialogues rather than songs. An official explanation about Maala’s removal is still awaited. - Veda

NTR's fans, in the meanwhile, claimed that AS was the fifth film in Tollywood history to have breached Rs.100 crores share. According to them, Baahubali 2, Baahubali, Rangasthalam and Khaidi Number 150 occupied top four slots and AS stands at 5th position.

He showed his acting talent showing variations in his body language and screen presence. He showed the required seriousness in his role during the investigation and while following orders from the higherups. &nbsp;He delivered dialogues highlighting the emotions with his expressions. Charu Vaken impressed with his performance in the final episodes.Banerjee is good in the role of the higher up. Shravani Reddy is good in her role. However Anji's character is not shown in the most interesting manner. Raja Ravindra, Preeti Sundar, Shiva Alapati performed according to their roles.Rudravanam PS Web Series: Technicians ReviewRudravanam PS story is written by Taj Sayed and is helmed by Sasidhar Munnangi. He tried to excite all with the crime thriller. The first four episodes progress in a interesting and exciting manner. He designed the character of Naresh Agasthya. The happenings involving the character of Anji is good. But these things could have been shown in the more impactful manner.Sasidhar Munnangi the loses plot in the last three episodes diluting the intensity levels. Had these scenes designed in &nbsp;an interesting manner, things would have been different. The more subplots as the investigation progresses resulted in the decrease of interest leves as it resulted in confusion all over. It turned out to be a mixed bag with few scenes getting dragged unnecessarily and some scenes ending rather abruptly.Many murder mysteries came with such plot and very few of them are engaging. Rudravanam PS also fails to engage. The first four episodes though interesting are dragged showing the restlessness in the police force and the story do not head anywhere. The entire story is narrated in the last two episodes and the &nbsp;motive of the culprit is shown in the last episode and this is little interesting. However, even that pales due to the weak motive.Ashkar Ali with his cinematography showed the rural village atmosphere in the natural and realistic manner. However Madhav's editing should have been &nbsp;more sharper as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. The background music of Saluri Vasu Rao is good and added value to the narration. Production values are good.Rudravanam PS Web Series: Advantages<ul><li>Naresh Agasthya's characterisation</li><li>BGM</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Interesting &nbsp;Climax</li></ul>Rudravanam PS Web Series: Disadvantages<ul><li>Missing Emotions</li><li>Spineless Screenplay</li><li>Subplots</li><li>Weak Twists</li></ul>Rudravanam PS Web Series: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Rudravanam PS turns out to be a routine investigative thriller. Naresh Agasthya came up with a spirited performance and director Sasidhar Munnangi tried to thrill viewers in this 7 episodes webseries. While he made an impactful start with the first four episodes showing the investigating episodes in an exciting and interesting manner, the last three episodes except for the climax goes for a toss. For all his efforts, though the characterisation of Naresh Agasthya's role appeals, everything goes missing. The story lacked the emotional connect with things passing through the motions and screenplay turning spineless and stale without offering nothing much to excite. Little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay and powerful emotions would have added more punch to the story. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Rudravanam PS.

Rudravanam PS Web Series Review

Akka (2026) Web Series: StoryAkka is set in the 1980s in Pernuru, a fictional South Indian kingdom ruled by women for generations. The society follows its own traditions, with women holding power and men having a limited role in the kingdom's affairs. Bhavani (Keerthy Suresh) is the powerful matriarch who controls the kingdom and tries to protect its traditions and authority.However, her world gets disturbed when Rudra (Radhika Apte), an outsider with a personal vendetta, enters Pernuru with plans to take control. What follows is a violent battle involving power, revenge, betrayals and family rivalries. How Bhavani handles the threat and what happens to the kingdom form the rest of the story.Akka Web Series: PerformancesKeerthy Suresh gets a strong character in Bhavani, but the writing does not give her enough emotional depth to make the role memorable. She manages to bring some authority to the character, although the overall impact remains limited.Radhika Apte gets an interesting role as Rudra, but her characterisation and dialogue delivery do not create the desired impact. Tanvi Azmi and Monika Panwar have their moments, while Mahesh Manjrekar, Anshuman Pushkar, Vishak Nair and the rest of the supporting cast have limited scope to make an impression.Akka Web Series: AnalysisAkka starts with an interesting premise. A fictional kingdom controlled by women, where power struggles and gangster politics take centre stage, offers plenty of scope for an engaging period crime drama. The conflict between Bhavani and Rudra also provides an interesting foundation.Unfortunately, the writing fails to make proper use of this idea. The series spends considerable time establishing its fictional world, traditions and characters, but struggles to create emotional involvement. Despite several betrayals, violent confrontations and power games, the proceedings rarely become engaging.The biggest problem is the lack of strong characterisation. Both Bhavani and Rudra are introduced as powerful women, but their motivations and emotional journeys are not explored effectively. Several subplots occupy considerable screen time without adding much value to the central conflict.The series also relies heavily on violence and grand visuals to create an impression. However, the action sequences lack the impact required to elevate the drama. Even when the narrative reaches important turning points, the emotional connect remains weak.Akka Web Series: Technical AspectsThe production design, costumes and locations give the series a lavish appearance. However, the artificial presentation and excessive stylisation make the fictional world less convincing. The background score is largely unremarkable and fails to enhance the intensity of the confrontations. The writing and direction needed much more conviction to turn the ambitious premise into an engaging drama.Akka Web Series: Plus Points<ul><li>Interesting central premise</li><li>Some detailing of the matriarchal society</li><li>Lavish production design and costumes</li></ul>Akka Web Series: Minus Points<ul><li>Weak and simplistic writing</li><li>Poor character development</li><li>Lack of emotional depth</li><li>Unconvincing world-building</li><li>Underwhelming action and background score</li></ul>Akka Web Series: VerdictAkka has an interesting premise and a lavish setup, but the execution fails to match its ambition. The power struggle between two strong female characters could have made for an engaging gangster drama. However, weak writing, shallow characterisation and a lack of emotional depth make the series a disappointing watch. Despite its visual grandeur, Akka turns out to be more about show than substance.

Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.25 rating for Killer.

The interval bang sets the stage for the second half.The second half is racy with the unraveling of the mystery and blended with action elements. But &nbsp;the flashback turns routine and climax lacks the thrill. The film ends with the lead to the sequel. The story resembles that of Squid Games and though it is new to the Telugu movie lovers on the big screen, those who watches similar films in OTTs find nothing exciting.The background music of Ravi Basrur elevated many scenes. Aravind Viswanathan's cinematography is good and showed the scenes in a stylish way. The editing of Ravi Teja Girijala is ok. Production values are ok.Cult Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Vishwak Sen</li><li>Action Sequences</li></ul>Cult Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Flashback</li><li>Climax</li></ul>Cult(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Cult turns out to be routine violent action entertainer. Vishwak Sen acted and directed the film. Vishwak Sen drew inspiration of Hollyood films and series like Squid Games. The story turns routine and screenplay turned out to be a mixed back. With the most of the story starting only after more than one hour, viewers get impatient. The weak flashback and climax played the spoilsport.To the top of it, Vishwak Sen who made an impact as an actor on the screen appears only at the end of the first half, disappointing all. Little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay, doing away with predictable first half and other scenes, things would have been different. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Cult.

However, the sequence also reminds us of the Tamil film Blast.The second half is where the film loses some of its freshness.

Still, there are a few entertaining moments and twists that keep the film watchable before it reaches a predictable conclusion.Trivikram's story does not offer anything particularly new apart from a couple of twists. The screenplay is straightforward and lacks the novelty expected from him. However, his trademark dialogue writing and the performances help the film in several places.Thaman's songs do not make much of an impact and are not presented particularly well on screen. His background score, however, is effective and suits the proceedings.Ravi K Chandran's cinematography gives the film a colourful and appealing look. Naveen Nooli's editing is good, though the second half could have benefited from tighter cuts. The dialogues work in parts and the production values are good.Aadarsha Kutumbam Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Venkatesh</li><li>Entertaining first half</li><li>Comedy and family moments</li><li>Few interesting twists</li><li>BGM</li></ul>Aadarsha Kutumbam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable second half</li><li>Familiar situations</li><li>Lack of novelty in the screenplay</li></ul>Aadarsha Kutumbam(2026) Movie: Rating Analysis Altogether, Aadarsha Kutumbam turns out to be a fairly engaging family entertainer with a mix of comedy, thrills and unexpected turns. Venkatesh is at his entertaining best and carries the film with his trademark expressions, mannerisms and dialogue delivery. Trivikram manages to create several enjoyable moments, particularly in the first half, with his witty dialogues and interesting setup.The second half loses some of the freshness seen earlier and becomes predictable in places. A few situations also remind us of familiar films, which takes away some of the impact. Still, the film has enough entertaining moments, a few good twists and a strong lead performance to make it a decent theatrical watch.Considering the overall entertainment, Venkatesh's performance, humour, thrills and technical aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Aadarsha Kutumbam.

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? What roles do SI Dev (Dev D), Veeru's Father ( Muralidhar Goud), Hindi ( Charishma Dabbara), Divya(Janu Varma), Security Ravi ( Nanaji Karri), Carpenter Kumar (Amad Masud), Anwar Chacha(Vegi Naidu), Fisherman (Manikanta) form the interesting part.Mayookha(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewPayal Chengappa impressed with her cute looks. 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;
