Zombies used to be the favorites of Hollywood and Korean films but for quite long, Bollywood stayed away from it.But now, it seems Bollywood is getting smitten by Zombies and are depeding on them for success at the box office. Teja Sajja and Shanaya Kapoor are coming with Zombie Reddy sequel directed by Prashanth Varma. Ranveer Singh is starring in Pralay which is adapted from Portuguese Nobel laureate José Saramago’s novel Blindness, the film also marks the directorial debut of Jai Mehta, son of filmmaker Hansal Mehta.Raj and DK earlier came with Go Goa Gone in 2013. Speaking to scribes, they share “We wanted to do something that didn’t exist in India. We’d just finished Shor in the City and wanted to make something completely different. The idea was also to mirror the lives of slackers living a zombie-like existence in an exaggerated way. As the dialogue says, ‘India mein bhoot pishach hote hain, yeh zombie kahan se aaye?’ We wanted to make a zombie film for beginners. Today, people ask us about a sequel, but we’d rather let Go Goa Gone remain what it is.”Nikhil Mahajan who directed Betal for Netflix in 2020 says “Patrick Graham’s vision and writing were so strong that saying yes was a no-brainer. The biggest challenge wasn’t making zombies — it was the audience’s unfamiliarity with the genre. Zombies have never been part of mainstream Indian pop culture. But younger viewers consume Korean and Western content regularly, so I’m optimistic the time is finally right.”Raj Nidimoru says “Since Go Goa Gone, audiences have watched a lot of international content. If we’re making zombie films today, they have to match the production quality of Hollywood and South Korean cinema. That’s the real challenge.”Nikhil Mahajan adds &nbsp;“The audience is gradually warming up to zombie stories. When top stars back these films, they naturally reach a much wider audience. That’s exactly the boost the genre needs.”---- Pramod Nandivada

Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: What's BehindYoung and talented actor Thiruveer is coming to entertain movie lovers with the film titled Oh Sukumari. The film directed by Bharat Darshan is releasing on 17 July 2026. The film's OTT rights have been acquired by Amazon Prime. Let us see what the film offered to movie lovers.Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Story ReviewOh Sukumari story revolves around a youngster who tries to win his political battle and also win the property of his ancestor which comes with a condition. Yadagiri (Thiruveer) is on a mission to get married within no time and finally falls for a beautiful girl Damini (Aishwarya Rajesh).Why Yadagairi is in a hurry to get married and what shock he faces after he enters into wedlock with Damini, what roles Damini's father Chandraiah (Kota Jayaram), Thiruveer's mother (Aamani), village sarpanch (Muralidhar Goud), influential lady (Jhansi) &nbsp;form the interesting part.Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewThiruveer performed in his role in an effective manner. He showed good emotions and expressions according to the situation. However he did not get much scope to elevate the scenes due to weak characterization.Aishwarya Rajesh performed her role quite well. She looked good on screen in some scenes. At times however she looked odd. She delivered dialogues with ease.There are many other actors in the film like Jhansi, Muralidhar Goud, Aamani, Anji Mama, Kota Jayaram, Gavireddy Srinivas, Kranti Balivada, Saranya Pradeep etc and they try their best to entertain viewers. However, only to some extent they succeed.Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewOh Sukumari story is penned by Bharat Darshan. He tried to attract viewers with a hilarious entertainer. He came up with an interesting idea but even before one could get excited, right from the start till the finish, he filled it with numerous cringe elements, be it emotions and hilarious scenes.The entire first half is filled with repetitive scenes, monotonous elements and routine flavor. Many expected the second half to fare better but it sailed in the similar manner. Bharat tested the patience of all with weak screenplay and writing. Many scenes which are expected to take emotions to new heights turned out to be artificial and outdated. The climax turned out to be silly and ordinary.The music and songs of Bharat Machiraju turns out to be a disappointment. None of the songs impresses. To the top of it, he failed completely with his background music. Kushender CH showed the rural atmosphere with his camera angles in an appealing manner. However there isn't much left for him to showcase in the film. The editing of Sree Varaprasad failed to the core. There are many scenes that are repetitive and tested the patience of the movie lovers. Dialogues are pretty ordinary. Production values are just ok.Oh SukumariMovie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e5123d676677c7d1184345d1e8d224b43">Thiruveer - Aishwarya Rajesh</li></ul>Oh Sukumari Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec689e27b1a74d0cf0d6254adbaececc0">Outdated Narration</li><li data-list-item-id="e1fbc026301b22019e3772a76d1f0199c">Listless Writing</li></ul>Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Oh Sukumari turns out to be silly and outdated entertainer. Though Thiruveer and Aishwarya Rajesh came up with spirited performances, Bharat Darshan failed to do justice to the interesting point. One wonders how the makers proceeded ahead with the project. His writing turned out to be weak and the scenes looked odd and outdated and screenplay lacked everything. The script itself doesn't excite anyone. No amount of rework would have changed the quality or the end result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Oh Sukumari. &nbsp;

Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: What's BehindAtharvaa's Tamil film Idhayam Murali is releasing in Telugu as Hrudayam Murali on 10July 2026. The film directed by Aakash Baskaran is generating interest among movie lovers as the film is named after Atharvaa's father Murali's cult classic Idhayam which turned out to be a hit. The film released in Telugu as Hrudayam and captured the imagination of all. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by Netflix and streaming willbe after the completion of its theatrical run.Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Story ReviewHrudayam Murali story revolves around a youngster's experiences after he falls in love and the happenings in his life and the surprising developments.Hrudaya (Atharvaa Murali) is unable to express his feelings and emotions due to the circumstances he was raised. Where this leads to when he comes across Samyuktha and Samantha (Priety Mukhundhan), Dr Amudha (Kayadu Lohar) and what roles his uncle Thanga (Natarajan Subramanian) , Teacher Geeta (Jonitha Gandhi) and his friends Dr. Sachin (Thaman), (Niharika NM, Rakshan, Sudhakar, Dravid Selvam and Angelin ), Surya( Fahadh Faasil) play form the rest of the narration.Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAtharvaa Murali is good in his role. He performed in a realistic way highlighting the weak traits commendably. He shows the feelings in a convincing manner. Priety Mukhundhan's role is good but her charater is under developed. Kayadu Lohar appears in a cameo and she does justice elevating the emotions perfectly. Natarajan Subramaniam is good in the role of the uncle.Fahad Faasil is good in the cameo. He impresses with his antics.Others like Natty, Thaman S, Niharika, Rakshan, Dravid Selvam, Angeline, Anju Kurian, Sudhakar, Yashashree, Jonita Gandhi performed according to their roles.Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewHrudayam Murali story is penned by Aakash Baskaran. He tried to entertain movie lovers with a breezy romantic entertainer and drew inspiration from Atharvaa's father Murali's classic Hrudyam. The narration starts with the introduction of Atharvaa's character through Fahad Faasil's voice over and his personality and his thought process.Fahad Faasil highlights the mood of the viewers with his oneliners quite aptly while the narration got the hilarious touch with the actor &nbsp;Sudhakar. Fahad Faasil not only entertains but also mocks the character of Atharvaa and also the film's screenplay to leave all amused.But except for the two characters the film offers nothing new or exciting and turns out to be a tedious watch. The narration is stretched and screenplay is dragged to the core on a small point that hero cannot express his feelings for more than two and half hours.The film's convenient narration with Priety Mukhundhan's character disappearing surprisingly disappoints all. The convenient screenplay results in various characters appearing and disappearing as per the whims and fancies ot the director. The story offers nothing new and it is dragged completely with the pre decided runtime. To the top of it,the lead character not undergoing any transformation for almost 90% of the film tests the patience of the viewers.Director spent most of the time, highlighting the relationship between the lead character and his uncle and the girls in his life and in turn misses the emotional connection completely.The cinematography of Manoj Paramahansa showed the scenes in a natural and appealing manner. Thaman's songs failed to impress and it would have been better had the makers done away with them. His background music is just ok. The editing of &nbsp;Pradeep E Ragav left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that tested the patience of the viewers and could have easily been chopped off. Production values are ok.Hrudayam Murali Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec8666aee2dcfddddcfc4c15d3385a992">Few Hilarious Scenes</li></ul>Hrudayam Murali Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0a6360738e754e677eb1c728bb26d270">Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="eb2bbe48bd0b27f0fdbdb47dcc925673b">Story, Direction</li><li data-list-item-id="ed52267bd3888c381de7db15e2a905972">Dragged Narration</li></ul>Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Hrudayam Murali turns out to be an predictable romantic entertainer. Director Aakash Baskaran drew inspiration from yesteryear classic Hrudayam. After selecting small point, right from the first scene, he kept on dragging the narration with repetitive scenes. The screenplay is slow to the core and the script offered nothing new. There is nothing &nbsp;much to rave about the film and viewers will have a sigh of relief when the film ends. Considering all these elements, goes with 2 rating for Hrudayam Murali.&nbsp; &nbsp;

He enacted high octane stunts with ease.Parvathy Thiruvotthu performed well as a mother of kids and wife. Both her and Prithviraj Sukumaran's roles are completely different from the regular films.Baby Nakshatra, Baby Ira played key roles. Ira generates few laughs. Hakim Shajahan and others performed according to their roles.I, Nobody (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewI, Nobody story is penned by Nissam Basir. He decided to thrill the views with money heist story. The story revolves around robberies and scams.

The police investigation and others in the first half brings and end setting the tone for the exciting second half.However, the second half goes for a toss with the hero kidnap scene and various sub plots. While the first half is natural, the second half had shades of artificiality and illogical scenes. Couple of scenes in the second half turns it into a decent one.Ramess' Editing could have been far better as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the film especially in the second half. Cinematography showed the scenes in a natural and realistic manner and Dinesh Purushottaman followed the standard template and took viewers into the story.

Prithviraj Sukumaran and Parvathy Thiruvottu came up with good performances. Director Nissam Basir came up with a known story but with his screenplay tried to thrill viewers. He emerged successful for most of the first half but lost plot in the second half. A little bit finetuning of the script, doing away with illogical elements and racy screenplay would have added value to the narration. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for I, Nobody.

Lenin (2026) Movie: What's BehindNagarjuna's son Akhil has been trying his best to score his first hit at the box office and then reach the next level of stardom. Despite his sincere attempts, he failed in his mission. He is now teaming with Murali Kishor Abburu of Vinaro Bhagyamo Vishnu Katha fame and is turning Lenin. Akhil transformed his look for the film, which is based on real-life incidents. The film's teaser and trailer got a good response and let us see what impact Akhil made as Lenin at the box office and won the appreciation of movie lovers.

He is fine with his performance and in couple of emotional scenes he made his presence felt. He is good with his emotions and expressions.Bhagyashri Borse looked good on the screen. But she got a limited scope to show her acting talent. Pramod Panju made an impact with his performance and screen presence. Easwari Rao is good and so too Ramki, Sivaji, Brahmaji and Sunil. All got typecast roles and they did their part according to the narration.Lenin (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewLenin's story is penned by Murali Kishor Abbudu of Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha. He tried to attract masses with an intense romantic entertainer in the backdrop of a rustic village atmosphere. He starts the narration in an exciting manner but the flashback episodes dip the intensity levels with routine and monotonous romantic scenes and revenge plots.The entire first half offers nothing new but predictable commercial plot elements and scenes. The hero's elevations and the rest of the characters revolving around him just seems to be inspired from other hit commercial films. The entire first half turns out to be outdated to the core and viewers will be expecting a better second half at the interval.The second half starts with a couple of twists and generates interest. However, the missing emotions and the weak characterizations marred the intensity and impact power. The pre climax and climax turns out to be ok with the so-called twists. Dialogues are just average.Thaman's tunes for the songs are just ok. None of them get registered in the minds of the viewers except for the song VaareVaa VaareVaa. Many songs appear to abruptly impact the pace of the narration. He however elevated the scenes with his background music.Leone Britto with his cinematography showed the rustic village atmosphere in a natural and realistic way. The editing of Naveen Nooli could have been better, though it is ok. Dialogues are formulaic and production values are good.Lenin Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e8c67b705fa9a25e753c104b31262029b">Akhil</li><li data-list-item-id="e860d281d4131ca0dc327ceba5de9f3de">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e15189d16d2ebadfa8bde1f744c7324e8">Cinematography</li></ul>Lenin Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e87b930b40f0d68472cc63889861ac241">Missing Emotions</li><li data-list-item-id="ef817d18b1edb08f76103a679438da035">Songs</li><li data-list-item-id="e6338d35b1f8f6767eca05182852e7362">Characterizations</li></ul>Lenin (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Lenin turns out to be formulaic commercial drama. Akhil worked hard for his role undergoing transformation but Murali Kishore Abburu, except for couple of twists and the initial start, fails to take it to the next level. A little fine-tuning of the script, a tighter screenplay, powerful emotions, and strong character arcs would have added more punch to the film's overall output. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Lenin.

Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: What's BehindSatyadev 's Rao Bahadur is generating interest among movie lovers with exciting teaser and trailer. With the film presented by Mahesh Babu's GMB banner expectations are high. To the top of it, Satyadev 's makeover and the film being directed by Venkat Maha of C/O Kancherapalem fame is turning out to be the advantage. Rao Bahadur 's OTT rights have been bagged by Netflix and streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. The film is releasing on 3 July and let us see how Rao Bahadur entertained move lovers.Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: Story ReviewRao Bahadur story revolves around a person from the royal lineage suffering from a rare disorder. The developments in the psychological patient and how he navigates them form the plot.Bhuvanam Ramappa Rao ( Satyadev) suffers from a rare psychological disorder and starts behaving weirdly. Where this leads to, what is the reason behind his disorder and weird behavior and how &nbsp;his wife Renuka ( Deepa Thomas), his friend Dr.Achari(Vikas Muppala), Achchamma(Balakrishna Parasar), A. Jagannadhan IPS (Anand) and others form rest of the developments.Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSatyadev put in lot of effort for his role. He is seen in different outfits, mannerisms and transformed his body language accordingly as per the timeline in the narration. He modulated his dialogue delivery according to the situation and impressed with his dialogue delivery. He showed good expressions and emotions according to the situation. This is best performance in all his films till now and even the nay Sayers will concur.Deepa Thomas who played the female lead did justice to it. She got limited screen presence but came up with energetic performance. She got good dialogues and looked bubbly and lively on screen. She expressed with her eyes only to mesmerize all.Vikas Muppala is good in the role of the protagonist's friend. He looked natural and realistic with his performance driving the story forward. He made an impression with his dialogues and natural performance.Bala Parasar is good in the role of the maid. She entertained all not only with her dialogue delivery but also with her humour.Others like Anand Bharathi, Pranay Vaka, Kunal Kaushik, Master Kiran performed according to their roles.Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewRao Bahadur story is opened by Venkat Maha. Venkat Maha tried to thrill people with a different kind of psychological thriller. He starts the narration on an interesting note and Satyadev's introduction and the follow-up scenes increases curiosity levels.However from then on the pace of the narration tests the patience of the movie lovers. There are many scenes and viewers will be left wondering what's going on and where the story is heading and when the first half ends, it comes as a breather for the people.The narration and pace picks up a little bit in the second half though the story progresses no where. The climax twist comes as a relief. Even after the twist, the proceedings are dragged before the film ends making viewers heave a sigh of relief.Smaran Sai's music offered nothing much to rave about. The tunes are not catchy and are not even shot on an appealing manner. However, he made up for it, with his captivating background score. It elevated the mood of the story and proceedings.The cinematography of Karthik Parmar used the colour combinations, grading and camera angles to show the period backdrop in a natural and realistic way.Venkat Maha who handled the editing failed in this aspect. He left many unnecessary scenes unattended and this slowed the pace of the film drastically in the first half testing the patience of all. Dialogues are just ok. Production values are good.Rao Bahadur Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e89f9bccf5ae0f998e260186ab7d6fd60">Satyadev</li><li data-list-item-id="e322931614dda05d784b4fbb74121d7f5">Different Concept</li><li data-list-item-id="e63a40f8b4b0f16133d33fc7835eef2c1">BGM, Cinematography</li><li data-list-item-id="e67e3a2d0153e06c3e6c7038c57016bb7">Good Production values</li></ul>Rao Bahadur Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e955e04c11cec9e5b6c9e8ea0c3f7fec6">Slow Pace</li><li data-list-item-id="e657e6604870655ad79ea2e8130ef569d">Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="e1d6f85d1109b9b85e95dac4694418f43">Writing</li></ul>Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Rao Bahadur turns out to be patient testing psychological thriller. Satyadev showed faith in Venkat Maha's direction and gave it all for the role. Venkat Maha seems to have penned the story after deciding to the climax twist. This impacted the overall output to a point of no return.The idea turned out to be interesting but he failed with his story. The writing turned out to be weak, screenplay didn't come with anything special and there is much to talk about the direction which is directionless. A little &nbsp;reworking on the script by adding strong emotions, witty one-liners, doing away with preachy elements and having more racy screenplay would have changed the result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Rao Bahadur. &nbsp;

Rao Bahadur Review

Nagabandham The Secret Treasure (2026) Movie: What's BehindVirat Karrna's Nagabandham The Secret Treasure directed by Abhishek Nama has been promoted in the most extravagant manner. The film's grand VFX and CGI increased the curiosity levels among movie lovers. Nagabandham OTT rights have been bagged by Amazon Prime and the streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. The film released on 3 July 2026 and let us find out how Nagabandham captivated movie lovers.Nagabandham (2026) Movie: Story ReviewNagabandham story revolves around people with evil intentions going all out to possess the all powerful Brahma Kamalam and creating bloodbath in the process and how the right thinking people try to protect Brahma Kamalam and their rich traditions.Rudra (Virat Karrna) leads a peaceful life in his village but everything changes on the day of his sister Manasa (Sonia Singh) marriage. What happened during his sister's marriage and how it is connected to the archeological guru (Prabhakar), Abdali (Rishab Sahwney) what roles Parvathi (Nabha Natesh), Manasa (Iswarya Menon), Bairagi(Garuda Ram), priest Achyutha (Murali Sharma) played, how it is connected to Shiva (Virat Karnna), and Brahma Kamalam form the interesting part in the narration.Nagabandham (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVirat Karrna performed well in both roles, Rudra and Shiva. He showed innocence, love for his family as Rudra and fury as Shiva. His screen presence is good and he enacted stunts with ease. Rishab Sawhney is menacing with his look as Abdali and also as the Muslim emperor. He impressed with his mannerisms.Nabha Natesh is good in the role of a traditional girl. She also oozed with glamor in a song. Jagapathi Babu performed the role tailor made for him perfectly. Sonia Singh, popular youtuber performed well in the sister's role. Anasuya is ok in the role of aunt. Iswarya Menon is ok in her role. Murali Sharma made his presence felt as a priest.There are many actors like Daksha Nagarkar, Mahesh Manjrekar, Ankit Koyya,John Vijay and others did their job according to their roles. Nagabandham (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewNagabandham-The Secret Treasure story is penned by Abhishek Nama. The story offered nothing new as many films came in the recent past highlighting the power of God and how ultimately he eliminates the evil forces who try to wreak havoc to posses the supreme powers.Films like Mirai and Hanuman turned out to be hits and of late many filmmakers are trying to milk people's interest in Sanatana Dharma and the secrets with dialogues pertaining to them but most of them are failing in their mission. If mythological and elements on God in a story comes naturally then it will connect chords with the people. However, all the so called Sanatana elements are forced and this ends up testing the patience of the viewers.Nagabandham also fell in the second category unfortunately. There is no clarity how the hero became the protector of the all powerful Brahma Kamalam right from the first half. The film lacked the drive and direction and it drifted in various directions and the screenplay turned out to be topsy turvy. Emotions play a key role in the films and the film lacked them completely. Only when emotions are strong and realistic, natural, it will help in taking forward the drama or action sequences.With emotions missing , the scenes come and go one after another and viewers are left wondering what was happening. The extreme violence in the marriage looked totally unnecessary and unwanted except for the gory scenes which the director felt would have made an impact on the viewers emotionally.Though the first half had no story, visuals are extravagant and the interval bang covered all the loopholes setting the stage for the second half. However the second half turned out to be extremely slow and all the characters turned unnecessarily loud shouting at the top of their voices. Director included family scenes revolving around children but none of them created an impact. The flashback episode lacked clarity and it is also filled with mindless violence.The climax action episode itself came to more than 30 minutes and the story revolved around it but none of them connected chords with the viewers. Everything goes with loud shouts and intense and senseless action. On top of it, they gave immense torture with irrelevant dialogues on Sanatana Dharma.The background score tuned by Junaid Kumar elevated the scenes to the next level creating the maximum impact. However, at times it turned loud and routine. The cinematography of Soundar Rajan S is top class. The VFX and CGI are of top class most of the time, except in few scenes where they looked pale and substandard.Junaid Kumar - Abhe's songs acted as speed breaks to the narration. Except for the Namo song, others failed to impress and some songs came with in 2-3 minutes gap. Editing left a lot to be desired, especially in the second half. Dialogues are just ok and production values are grand.Nagabandham Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eb594ad9e18a42338b69b01eb1eee6864">Visuals</li><li data-list-item-id="e994ee9df25be8da1cfade0f49ab27cec">First Half</li><li data-list-item-id="e03c19a6434f469d2b00550495feb463d">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e53ac52f471f627ae2ae87dc2ff31adce">Some engaging episodes</li></ul>Nagabandham Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e6eaf2810d307659ae2e849ec6b6267a6">Missing Emotions</li><li data-list-item-id="edbe53ecdbf341a82efb00f11137c4966">Lack of Novel Story, Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="e26ed5b5acf569fcb4c720e74a5911376">Dragging climax</li></ul>Nagabandham (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether Nagabandham The Secret Treasure offers visual treat minus story feast. Director Abhishek Nama depended only on extravagant visuals and over the top dialogues on Sanatana Dharma and action sequences surrounding them but failed to come with strong story. He failed completely with his screenplay and direction. His script turned out to be senseless and he should have reworked on it completely. Everything turned senseless and mindless in the name of Sanatana Dharma. He and other filmmakers should realize that loud dialogues on Sanatana Dharma and Hinduism will not give them guaranteed blockbuster at the box office. It should be backed with strong content which is missing in Nagabandham. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with 2.25 rating for Nagabandham. &nbsp;

She lived in the role, coming up with intense expressions and powerful screen presence. She showed variations in her role quite well, looking realistic in her Transformation.Samuthirakhani is known for good performances but this time he looked a complete misfit in the role of a routine political leader. His dialogue delivery turned out to be a big minus.Naresh Agasthya performed well but he looked subdued bringing down the intensity. Sudhakar Komakula impresses but his character is under developed. Raja Chembolu is good. Sunil's role is just ok.Talented actors like Rohini, Mime Gopi, Ravi Varma, Rajeev Kanakala, and Benarjee nothing to rave about. Others performed scoring to their roles.Isakapatnam (2026) Web Series: Technicians ReviewIsakapatnam story is penned by Prashanth Ragathi and it is directed by BH. Garry. The story is simple and predictable with couple of interesting twists. Many such stories came where daughter takes on her politically powerful father. One is reminded of films like Chhatrapati and webseries Parampara.He tried to be realistic ,showing the happenings in the steel plant but the entire political tussle and battle on the family turns out to be predictable. The narration despite all this is made interesting with few twists and turns unraveling them at the right time in all the episodes.Though it raises curiosity among viewers, the missing emotional connectivity disappoints all.The music of Praveen Lakkaraju is in sync with the story and Narration. As the story itself offers nothing new, it seems he didn't try hard to create something out of the box.Vamsi Patchipulusu with his &nbsp;cinematography added value to the narration. He showed the happenings in the fictious town interestingly using the camera angle and colour grading.But one gets a feeling that both the music and cinematography followed the known generic and standard pattern.The editing of BH. Garry is good. He ensured that the narration is racy and pace doesn't dip drastically. Couple of dialogues of Taijuddin are good and thought provoking.Production values are decent.Isakapatnam Web Series: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ef770023c38cf4dcffab2411cfa496e04">Aishwarya Rajesh</li><li data-list-item-id="e201bd14058e642e08a4863657b1fec39">Interesting Twists</li><li data-list-item-id="e7a564f8c042003def4f4b3f67f681e4a">Couple of Performances</li></ul>Isakapatnam Web Series: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e6eea4cc01eacab675a05aaf2ba82a9b3">Missing Emotions</li><li data-list-item-id="e72be34588c2bc7d39c9367738c1cb925">Predictable Plot</li></ul>Isakapatnam (2026) Web Series: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Isakapatnam turns out to be a decent political thriller. Director BH.Garry did a decent job to the story that is highly routine except for few twists. Little fine tuning of the script, exciting screenplay, &nbsp;having strong emotions, powerful characterizations and suitable cast could have added more bite. The character arcs could have been more intense and inclusion of free more thrilling elements would have taken the series to another level. Action choreography could have been more intense. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Isakapatnam. &nbsp;

Dridam (2026) Movie: What's BehindMalayalam movies are captivating movie lovers across the country and now a thriller named Dridam &nbsp;released in theatres last month and did well at the box office. The film is now streaming on Jio+Hotstar and let us see what the film offered to movie lovers.Dridam (2026) Movie: Story ReviewDridam story revolves around a police officer and how his life changes when he discovers human remains. Vijay (Shane Nigam) lands in Kuzhinilam town after getting appointed as the &nbsp;sub-inspector. Everything goes well with him, including his subordinates who are genial and develops a liking for him and the town is also free of crimes.However everything turns drastically with the discovery of the dead body and crimes increases one by one challenging his investigative skills. Where this leads to and what role &nbsp;CPO Vidya Jayachandran (Saniya Fatima), &nbsp;ASI Krishnan Kurup (Shobi Thilakan), &nbsp;CPO Remya Surendran(Krishna Praba), &nbsp;CPO Sathyan(Dinesh Prabhakar), Manoj (Abhiram Radhakrishnan) and SCPO Balan Nair (Kottayam Ramesh) form the interesting part.Dridam (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewShane Nigam is good in the role of a cop. He showed good expressions and emotions as a new and inexperienced SI but at times he looked inconsistent as his body language is stiff. He looked convincing when it comes to show his confusion and anger.Others like Shobi Thilakan, Kottayam Ramesh, Dinesh Prabhakar, Nandan Unni, Vinod Bose, Krishna Prabha, Saniya Fathima, Mathew Varghese, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, Prashanth Murali, Bitto Davis, Joji K. John and Abhishek Raveendran performed according to their roles.However most of their characters are underdeveloped and under written and offered nothing new to the story.Dridam (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDridam story is penned by Jomon John and Linto Devasia and is directed by Martin Joseph. He tried to thrill viewers movie lovers with invetigative drama and it seems he drew inspiration from the films like Drishyam etc. He started the narration in an interesting manner and didnot devaite from the main plot and manages to surprise all with a climax twist.However, as he drew inspiration from Jeethu Joseph's films, much to the shock of all, he included the same flaws and this impacted the film. He showed the transformation of the cop from a rookie to an efficient one in an able way. However the director failed with his lazy manner of story telling. There are many scenes that looked artificial and staged and looked awkward on the screen.He spent most of the time, showing the admiration of the subordinates to the protagonist and all these looked unnecessary and irrelevant. At times, the scenes and the screenplay looked clumsy and convenient insulting the intelligence of the viewers. There are also many illogical scenes and this impacted the final output. The director failed to execute the decent story with the screenplay and direction.The behavior of the protagonist in various scenes looked silly and this impacted the basic investigation and the whole idea. Some of the so called scenes and the scenes looked absurd and even kids would laugh it out loudly.The cinematography of PM. Unnikrishnan showed the scenes in a natural and realistic manner showing the village atmosphere in a serene and calm way. The background score of Sreerag Saji elevated the scenes and managed to keep the viewers glued to the screen with the twists and turns. The editing of VS. Vinayak could have been better as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration.

Director Martin Joseph came up with a thriller that looked like a slow poison and unlike other investigative thrillers where a twist comes during the interval bang, the twist appears only during the climax. Till then the director passes time with unnecessary scenes and the slow pace in the screenplay and narration tested the patience of the viewers. Only the cinematography saved the film from sinking further. Except for the final 30 minutes, everything goes for the toss in Dridam. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Dridam.&nbsp;

Eswar chand's couple of songs are youthful and are shot well and background score is good. However he used Sita Ramam background score for the interval bang and it worked out well. Hrishikesh Pasapal's editing is just ok. There are many scenes that dragged the proceedings with routine elements.

Harshith Reddy and Smeha Manimeghalai performed well in the roles and director Sreekanth Sangisetty seems to have first decided on the twist, before developing the story. A little finetuning of the script would have added more power to the proceedings especially The first half is slow and has some monotony. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Deewana. &nbsp;

The main plot turns out to be very simple but he with his creativity, turned it into an intriguing one. The screenplay is gripping right from the start and the credit for it goes to Jithu Madhavan. Chidambaram starts the narration in an interesting manner at a steady pace, taking viewers into the story introducing various characters.

The interval block, climax and few more scenes and the twists involved in it turns out to be the highlight and writers should be commended for their innovation.However, though the movie runs at a steady pace, the extremely slow narration ends up testing the patience of the viewers. Many of the simple scenes are repeated and dragged unnecessarily. Dialogues are natural and realistic. Sushin Shyam's music is impactful and he elevated the scenes with his background music. The cinematography of Shyju Khalid showed the scenes in a natural and realistic manner.

Director Chidambaram came up with simple idea but he turned it into an interesting story and aided by Jithu Mahendran's gripping screenplay, he managed to surprise viewers. He is ably supported by the performances of Adisheshan and Farzana Palathingal &nbsp;and the technical crew to create the maximum impact. Had he done away with the slow pace and turned the narration racy, the impact would have been even more powerful. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Balan The Boy. &nbsp;

He is ok with his performance. There is nothing new and he looked raw and rustic in his expressions. He delivered dialogues accordingly.Rashi Singh got limited screen presence in her role. Shilpa Tulaskar is artificial as the antagonist despite the elevation to her character. Aadukalam Naren got very limited role.Others like Vivek Raghuvansi,Raghu Babu,Sivannarayana,Vadlamani Srinivas,Jwala Koti,Devi Prasad,Surya,Baba Baskar,Pramodini,Sathwic Raju,Anjali Priya,Gayatri Chaganti perfomed according to their roles.Transfer Trimurthulu (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewTransfer Trimurthulu story is written by Kamal Teja Narla. Right from the start till the finish the narration, screenplay turns out to be uni dimensional. His thought process remained outdated and out of sync with the current generation. He still followed the same hero elevations, three songs, six fights, item song and cheap comedy scenes.With in five minutes into the story, viewers will be treated the same monotonous scenes that test their patience to the core. It increases with the passage of time and reaches its peak in the second half. The interval comes as a break from this torture. The story lacks basic emotions and everything looks artificial.Everyone passes through the motions and the director's cheap taste is revealed when he showed the rape scene in detail even though it was shown initially. There are many such scenes and that include the CM candidate directing her aides to molest her to gain sympathy. Finally viewers heave a sigh of relief when the film comes to an end.Vijay Mukthavarapu's didn't get much scope to showcase his talent. This is because the story offered nothing new and as the scenes assume monotonous flavour, had Vijay applied his editing scissors, there wouldn't have been any film.The cinematography of Karthik Sujatha Saikumar is ok and the background score by Kalyan Nayak followed the predictable template. The romantic song tuned looked that of the 80s flavour. Dialogues are average and production values are ok.Transfer Trimurthulu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ef9fe3597178457bd9dfe52ffe513cc3a">Nothing</li></ul>Transfer Trimurthulu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e66bbbbcf257f0c4464dbcf2dca481cfd">Everything</li></ul>Transfer Trimurthulu (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Tranfer Trimurthulu turns out to be an outdated entertainer. Vadde Naveen on comeback performed as per the story. Director Kamal Teja Narla failed completely as a director with his story that turned out to be atrocious, screenplay turned ridiculous and script turned senseless. No amount of rework should have changed the output. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Transfer Trimurthulu.&nbsp; &nbsp;
