Ram Charan's Peddi directed by Buchi Babu Sana is getting good response from all quarters. However almost all the critics are unanimous that Janhvi played an inconsequential role and she was over objectified.A portion of Insta post read "It is easy to blame an actress for the roles she takes, but the actual timeline tells a different story. Reports show that Janhvi Kapoor explicitly questioned these shots during post-production, a boundary that perfectly mirrors her recent public stance against the industry's habit of oversexualizing women. She drew a professional line, but the final edit kept the footage anyway. This isn't a case of an actress failing to stand up for herself. It is a director choosing to ignore a boundary because he decided her consent mattered less than his box office numbers.”Buzz is Janhvi also liked the post. Janhvi did not comment under the post, but many noticed that she had liked it, clearly agreeing with it. “Liked by janhvi kapoor,” commented one person under the post with crying emojis. “Wtf this post is liked by jahnvi kapoor. It is an insult to tfi.” wrote another. &nbsp;

And he comes to London to see me two years ago.”He continued “He said in his life, if there was one role he wanted to play, it would be Lalit Modi as commissioner. It wasn't me asking him.

Ace director Gunasekhar longtime back planned a mythological entertainer Hiranyakashyap with hot hunk Rana.However later reports came that Suresh Babu sidelined Gunasekhar and roped in Trivikram Srinivas as the writer. Later reports came that the project was shelved and sometime back reports came that Trivikram himself will direct the project.In the midst of all this, Gunasekhar speaking to scribes clarified on the topic. He said "Trivikram gave a straightforward response that immediately put the rumors to rest. "I am only associated with the project from a writing perspective. I have absolutely no intention of directing the film,"Gunasekhar shared "At that stage, I felt I was not in a position to effectively manage a film of that scale and budget. Rather than taking unnecessary risks, I chose to put the project on hold,"He added "Many viewers are waiting for OTT releases instead of going to theatres because they are confident that the film will be available at home in a short span of time. We need to increase that gap,"He continued "Bollywood realized the problem and increased the gap between theatrical and OTT releases by several weeks. We should also consider following a similar approach to protect the theatrical business,"

Ram Charan transformed his look for this film and it is becoming a talking point.Janhvi Kapoor is adding the glamor touch to the film while Shruti Haasan did a special song. Divyenndu Sharma of Mirzapur fame is making his debut in Tollywood. The film also has a star studded cast of Jagapathi Babu, Shiva Rajkumar, Boman Irani in key roles.Ram Charan after creating a sensation with Rajamouli's magnum opus RRR and won the accolades at international level, failed to set the screens on fire with his next project Game Changer with ace director Shankar. The film turned out to be a disaster. To the top of it, even his cameo in his father Chiranjeevi's Acharya failed to power the film. Can Ram Charan reverse the trend and flex his muscles to score success at the box office as Peddi? Can Ram Charan with Peddi revive the sinking Tollywood market and breath a fresh lease of life. Let us findout all that in the review and what Ram Charan offered to movie lovers with Peddi.Peddi (2026) Movie: Story ReviewPeddi story revolves around a youngster who fights for recognition for his remote village which was not even recognised by Government of India. Peddi (Ram Charan) works as a contract labor and represents anyone who wins him over the action in the sport of Cricket.Peddi's life takes a darstic turn due to shocking happenings and where this leads to, what role Achiyamma (Janhvi Kapoor), Ram Bujji (Divyenndu Sharma), Appalasoori (Jagapathi Babu), Sports Authority of India Chairman Baiswal (Boman Irani), renowned wrestler Gournaidu (Shiva Rajkumar), Sisodiya (Ravi Kishan), Subhadraraju (Rao Ramesh), Bhadra (Tarak Ponnappa), Ammapalli (Ashutosh Rana) and others form rest of the narration.Peddi (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewRam Charan virtually lived in the role. He stuns with his transformation in physique as a cricketer and wrestler. He stunned with his emotional performance and at times expressed himself through his eyes. He delivered emotional dialogues with ease and impresses with his body language and screen presence. He danced like never before in dances, and the choreography elevated his dance moves to the next level. He carried the film on his shoulders and elevated the scenes to the next level with his performance.Janhvi Kapoor got an inconsequential role and is confined to irresponsible glamor treat. Her character lacked the basic character. Jagapathi Babu performed well in an emotional role tailormade for him. Divyenndu Sharma's role starts in an interesting manner but fizzles out as time progresses.Shiva Rajkumar is good in the role of a wrestler. He made his presence felt. Others like ,Boman Irani, Ravi Kishan, Satya, John Vijay, Ajay Ghosh,Upendra Limaye, Aadukalem Naren,Tarak Ponnappa,Mahesh Achanta performed according to their characters..Peddi (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewPeddi story is penned by Buchi Babu Sana. The narration starts with the quest for talented sportsmen after debacle of the country in the Olympics. Ram Charan is introduced in a mass manner and the love track follows along with the buildup to the rivalry. The entire first half is loaded with mass elements, but the runup to the interval and interval bang though predictable, excites all setting the tone for the second half.All the cricket matches though shot impressively lacked the wow factor except for the presence of Ram Charan. There are many actors in the film and they just appear and go in an insignificant manner. The moment Janhvi is introduced, it brings down the intensity and pace of the narration impacting the overall output.The second half also starts in the similar manner but the emotions that appear drives the story forward. In the process of elevating the emotions, the pace dipped drastically. The second half special song makes one wonder whether Buchi Babu Sana is set to end the film on a predictable note, but he comes with a surprise here and from then on the screenplay takes a new turn.Ram Charan's impactful screenpresence takes viewers on an emotional ride till the end of the film.Ram Charan's performance in the climax moves all to the core and the film then ends on a predictable tone.Oscar winner Rahman AR scored the music. After along time he came up with foottapping numbers and sent a message that Rahman is back.The songs are well choreographed and shot in the backdrop of breathtaking visuals. He made an impact with his background music.Ratnavelu turned the film into an appealing one with his cinematography. He showed the rural atmosphere quite well and the sports scenes in an adequate manner.The editing of Naveen Nooli is ok but one gets a feeling that it is not smooth as few scenes end in an abrupt manner. Some of the dialogues are powerful and hardhitting but consistency is missing. Vriddhi Cinemas production values are quite good.Peddi Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e54c794b68c333a6311dac4e799c6ce15">Ram Charan</li><li data-list-item-id="e104fd8b3f4267fc09e70d27d3db343ae">Songs and BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e9c58770d50870c5da669340c3acc43ae">Emotional Scenes</li><li data-list-item-id="e17dce9c8e4bd255fcf430b995f5e5554">Message</li></ul>Peddi Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e09fa1147bda4887d870ad62161c586e1">Illogical Scenes</li><li data-list-item-id="ed36c564fbeb73bd5c50441c7f44178a3">Weak Characters</li></ul>Peddi (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Peddi turns out to be a powerful emotional sports based entertainer. Ram Charan's sincerity, dedication and hardwork is seen on the screen in his performance. He powered the film to new heights with his performance. Buchi Babu Sana loaded the film with mass elements for more than 75% of the film keeping in view , Ram Charan's stardom and fan following. He elevated Ram Charan's style and mannerisms on the screen. But this at times impacted the story and narration. However, in the second half, he showed his mettle during that last 25% with thought provoking dialogues, natural and realistic emotions and strong message to the society. Screenplay turned out tobe decent and Buchi Babu Sana tried to elevate it with the shock factor. A little finetuning of the script and doing away with unnecessary and illogical scenes, Peddi would have got more firepower. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 3 star rating for Peddi.

He showed good emotions and variations in expressions and made his presence felt. Master Mahendra showed good expressions highlighting the innocence. Shraddha Das came up with a subtle performance. Tanikella Bharani came up with good performance. Aamani showed her experience in the role of the mother.Others like Sahithi Avancha, Nandha Durairaj, Sai Dheena, Robo Shankar, Rowdy Rohini, ETV Prabhakar, Ambati Arjun, Spyder Sanjay, Kalloori Vinoth performed according to their roles.Trikala - Script of God: Technicians ReviewTrikala - Script of God story is penned by Mani Tellaguti. He came up with an interesting concept but while trying to narrate it on the screen, he ended up confusing the viewers. More than the story he concentrated on VFX and at times used AI to generate the required VFX. The backstory and Trikala generates interest at the start but right after that he ends up confusing with non linear screenplay.The first half has been dragged to the core and the slow pace impacted the output. Though some clarity comes in the second half, it turns out to be routine with psychpath kind of elevations and monotonous scenes. The film lacked the natural feel and everything looks artificial in the end.Pavan Chenna's cinematography is ok. Harshavardhan Rameshwar's music also fall in the same zone. Song on mother is ok. Director Mani Tellaguti himself handled the editing and it turned out to be a huge let down. He should have done away with many unnecessary scenes. Production values are average.Trikala Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e84a9e5db5ce12c27b3ce8ebc3b075092">Performences</li><li data-list-item-id="e257442ff650dd01b600beea96cb2b7ed">Core Point</li></ul>Trikala Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="efcce0400976c713a9a6152f8fbef6e5d">Non Linear Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="ec83ef7169e3373ec5ba9e32cb18b7218">Confusing Narration</li></ul>Trikala - Script of God (2026): Rating AnalysisAltogether, Trikala - Script of God despite good point fails to reach the success heights. Director Mani Tellaguti came up with an interesting point but failed with his execution. A little finetuning of the script, racy screenplay and doing away with the confusing elements, could have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with 2 rating for Trikala - Script of God.&nbsp;

Others like Thagubotu Ramesh, Anish Kuruvilla performed their roles according to the narration.Mareechika (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMareechika Story is penned by Lakshmi Bhupala and it is directed by Satish Kasestty. The story is simple but he tried to turn it into a crime thriller adding delusional elements and also schizophrenia disease symptoms. The entire story revolves around a single point and he tries to excite viewers with confusing screenplay.To some extent he emerged successful but with the passage of time, one gets a feeling that the story is not moving any further. He tried to make up for it with hilarious scene in the police station during the preclimax. The entire first half is dragged with the love scenes featuring the lead pairs. The interval twist sets the tone for the second half. The pace picks up in the second half but the so called twists can be easily predicted.The music for the film is tuned by Ilayaraja. The songs looked like serial songs and offered nothing new. and the background music turned out to be a huge disappointment. One cannot believe that Ilayaraja scored the music for the film. The cinematography of Arvind Kannabiran is good. He showed the scenes in a realistic manner adding aesthetic elements. The editing of Junaid Siddiqui could have been better as there are many repetitive scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are outdated and production values are average.Mareechika Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e412a3a4235e6a9eca9cd20583248b9cf">Regina and Anupama</li><li data-list-item-id="eb3471abe0f627f98c42f6a67891a17e6">Few Twists</li></ul>Mareechika Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e6ab5980ccf515889ed2b69ab057a162b">Non linear screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="e1baf87b89b9aa7526d0f74bd2f735b84">Confusing Narration</li><li data-list-item-id="e0410c0651a7d47f22cec0bd3eb865524">Predictable Elements</li></ul>Mareechika (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Mareechika turns out to be a predictable crime thriller. Though Anupama Parameswaran came up with spirited performance, director Satish Kasetty and writer Lakshmi Bhupala came up with an outdated story. Everything turned substandard, be it the predictable twists, performances and to the top of it, the slow pace with unnecessary scenes. The substandard production values harmed the film quality. Screenplay turned out to be decent and little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay along with doing away with unnecessary elements would have added value.

Where this leads to and what role Antony Varghese (Antony Varghese Pepe) play, form the interesting part.Kattalan (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAntony Varghese is an unknown entity to Telugu viewers except for those who watch Malayalam films on OTT. He did full justice to his role. But the moment he started delivering dialogues it looks like he is out to complete them at a go for the fear of forgetting the same.Sunil played the important role in the film. Sunil's role offered nothing new and had shades of Pushpa and the roles he played there after. Much to the surprise of all, he also gets a special song.Kabir Duhan Singh played an inconsequential role. One of the villian Parth Tiwari looks funny when he delivers dialogues. Out of nowhere Dushara Vijayan appears in the second half weilding a gun.Others like Jagadeesh, Siddhique, Hanan Shaah, Hipzter, Anson Paul,Raj Tirandasu, Shon joy etc performed according to their roles.Kattalan (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewKattalan story is penned by Paul George. He came up with a routine and weak story and from then on it fails on all fronts. He just mixed all the scenes from various hit films and included action elements. Everything looks senseless and mindless and one gets a feeling that he has taken movie lovers for granted insulting their IQ levels.The background music is scored by Ravi Basrur. He just followed the same template he used for KGF, Salaar and others. At times it made an impact and most of the time, it turned out to be loud and jarring.Kattalan Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e1ba876f95f32fff9c061f94ed086e749">Few Action Blocks</li></ul>Kattalan Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e7f57c57e79994e7d7b9275b07d849b98">Missing Emotions</li><li data-list-item-id="ee22019eecc54c9b2e762fc1008949f6c">Story, Screenplay, Direction</li></ul>Kattalan (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Kattalan turns out to be poor replica of hit smuggling films. Director Paul George offered nothing new and he lifted scenes from various hit films and just changed the actors. To the top of it, the film lacked the strong emotions that play important role in the success of the film. With the weak story, screenplay and direction went for a toss. Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 1 rating for Kattalan.&nbsp;

Arjun Sarja, Preity Mukundhan and Abhirami came up with energetic and spirited performances.

He lacked clarity of thought and the scenes and screenplay ends up confusing viewers.The slow pace in the narration, repetitive scenes irritates viewers to the core. People are left to wonder about the usage of CGI and VFX and this resulted as the story lacked strong human emotions. The actors are just seen passing through the motions with artificial feel.Except for the so called sci fi elements, futuristic world, VFX and CGI, the film's story turned out to be monotonous, routine and outdated.Sri Venkat &amp; Sooraj S Kurup's music and background score is just ok.

Hemanth Ippalapalli instead of concentrating on coming up with the strong story, tried to impresses viewers with extensive usage of CGI, VFX and futuristic world that looked completely out of sync. The story turned out to be weak with many loopholes and following this screenplay and direction went for a toss. No amount of rework on the script would have changed the output or the final result.

Though at times he came up with stone faced expressions, he made his presence felt as a innocent lover boy and also as a caring husband and also showed the emotional side delivering dialogues aptly.Vennela Kishore and Kasi Reddy created humour with their antics. Same can be said about Sapthagiri and VTV.Ganesh. Rayancha Kokkura looked good on screen and she performed well in the role of a woman who donot tolerate lies. French Girl Gabi Rock is ok in the all important role.Anaira Gupta oozed with glamor in a song while Vishka and Hasini Sudhir played their parts to perfection. Others like Rajiv Kanakala performed according to their roles.Purushaha (2026) Movie: Technical ReviewPurushaha story is readied by Veeru Vulavala. Many films came earlier with similar concept and Veeru Vulavala tried to generate humour and entertain movie lovers with this story highlighting the frustration of the husbands. The entire first half is loaded with the fights between husband and wife and the happenings between the friends and court scenes. All those things are routine and few hilarious scenes are just ok though they are nothing new.The first half ends with the revelation of the secrets of the protagonists and the entire second half is all about them proving their innocence. The director failed to connect the emotional chords and failed to establish how a small incidents lead to divorce. Few emotions are ok but the super heroes fights looked silly and didnot workout. He tried to load the second half with intense emotions but failed to do full justice to them.He ended few roles abruptly and didnot justify few characters in the film. Climax twist is decent &nbsp;to some extent.Satish Muthyala's cinematography is good. Shrawan Bharadwaj's music is just ok and so is the background music. Editing of Koti left a lot to be desired. There are many unnecessary scenes that impacted the final output.

Debutante Pavan Kumar worked hard and it is visible on the screen and Sapthagiri, Vennela Kishore, Rajkumar Kasireddy and others did their parts accordingly. But the lack of novelty in the story and the predictable screenplay by the director Veeru Vulavala and silly scenes undid all the good intentions. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Purushaha.

But at time she looked artificial, pale and jaded. Despite playing the role of a blind girl, she expressed herself quite well and impressed with her screenpresence. The dialogues penned for her character are thought provoking and motivational.Surya Vashistta did well in the role of a person confined to the wheelchair and showed the trauma and agony quite well. Sreenivas Reddy got a different and impactful role and he elevated the scenes showing good emotions. Shyamala did well in the role and is impactful. Chaitu Jonnalagadda is ok in the role of the doctor and so is Prabhavathi.Ramani Kalyanam (2026) Movie: Technical ReviewRamani Kalyanam story is penned by Vijay Adireddy. He tried to send the message to the society with this emotional love story that disability shouldn't be an obstacle in the success and one shouldn't stop progressing brooding over the past happenings.The first half starts with the introduction of various characters and the blossoming of love between the lead pair before the interval twist. But the routine shades and slow pace ended up testing the patience of the viewers. The entire second half is loaded with emotional content. The twist in the pre climax is good and the climax turns out to be emotional.There are many unnecessary scenes that defies logic and also the conflict is not shown in &nbsp;a convincing manner. The relationship and connection to four kids and the granny is not shown properly.Aravind Thirukovela with his cinematography turned the scenes colorful and visually appealing on the screen. Sooraj S Kurup's songs are just average. He however made up for it with his background music adding value to the narration. Ram Jagadeesh's dialogues are relevant, interesting and motivational. Editing of Raviteja Giriala left a lot to be desired. Though the film's duration is less, the editing made it feel like the film is never ending.

But illogical scenes, predictable elements played the spoilsport though there are some good thought provoking dialogues. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Ramani Kalyanam.&nbsp;

He showed the right kind of expressions and emotions according to the situation and made viewers travel along with him and tried to carry the film on his shoulders. However, his character arc is not developed properly.Meena as usual showed good emotions but they turned out to be routine and predictable. Asha Sharath is good in the role of Varun's mother. Others like Asha Sharath, Murali Gopy, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil performed according to their roles.Drishyam 3 (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDrishyam 3 is penned by Jeethu Joseph. He continues from where he left in Drishyam 2 and the narration progresses in the same vein. He starts the narration in an interesting manner increasing the curiosity levels highlighting the fears of the protagonist in the wake of the recent developments which got him unwanted media attention.He also showed the emotional situation and trauma of the female cop who experiences shock of her son's death and how to deal ith them. He slowly corelates both the incidents and developments and showed the media trail and social media impact on the protagonist's family. He concentrated on the happenings in Varun's life and tried to surprise viewers.Though Jeethu Joseph tried to highlight the emotional complications and implications and also worked hard to maintain the thrill factor, viewers who watched the first two parts, feel everything is stretched and they could easily guess the next scenes and proceedings. They feel that Jeethu Joseph stretched the narration and the so called thrill factor to a point of no return. The slow pace in the first half tests the patience of the viewers. It is only during the runup to the interval block some sense of urgency is shown and few scenes increase the thrill factor.People expect a more interesting and intriguing second half. However the familiarity of the behavior of the characters robbed viewers of the novel feeling. Everything turns predictable be it the investigation sequences, emotional scenes and the pattern in unraveling the suspense. To the top of it, when viewers expect a shocking climax, the simple climax turns out to be a major disappointment. The way protagonist comes with silly ideas turns out to be a huge disappointment. The Telugu dubbing turned out to be the worst.The editing of Vinayak VS could have been far better. There are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. The cinematography of Satheesh Kurup is in sync with the story. He used the camera angles and color combinations to give realistic and natural feel to the proceedings.The music of Anil Johnson is ok and his background score elevated the scenes. Dialogues are fine and production values are good.Drishyam 3 : Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec1938436b03b12ca3a6acd1dab5e3342">Mohanlal</li><li data-list-item-id="e8de53a5ef548d102431323e40375f882">Few Twists</li></ul>Drishyam 3 : Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e56853b4e433a1cc77ef205b18707b2c0">Missing Conflict</li><li data-list-item-id="ed6d3d50204041f3d963054cf058f00ee">Worst Dubbing</li><li data-list-item-id="eeccbece86be327f73178810e2ad2f71d">Bereft of Twists and Turns</li><li data-list-item-id="e5e27de6e869028d23b9a6f26413356c8">Climax</li></ul>Drishyam 3 (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Drishyam 3 turns out to be a predictable thriller and offered nothing new. The fault lies with the director Jeethu Joseph and the makers for trying to cash in to the craze of the Drishyam franchise. They offered nothing new when it came to the investigation, thrill factor and emotions. The story didnot excite and the screenplay and direction followed the familiar pattern robbing the viewers of the novel expereince. Obviously Drishyam 3 turns out to be the weakest among all the Drishyam franchises. No amount of rework on the script would have changed the outcome. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Drishyam 3.

Mr.Work From Home (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewMr.Work From Home, title role played by Thrigun looked smart and handsome on the screen. He is ok with his performance. He delivered dialogues sincerely. Payal Radhakrishna played a typical female lead role and she did not get much chance to show her performance and also her glamor.Aneesh Kuruvilla and Satya Krishnan played the roles of the hero's parents accordingly and their characters followed a typical template. The humor of Sudarshan and Viva Harsha failed to make an impact.Shivaji Raja played an important role while Venu Yeldani, Saptagiri played routine roles. Others performed according to their roles.Mr.Work From Home (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMr. Work From Home story is penned by &nbsp;Madhudeep Chelikaani. He tried to send a message to the society through his film about organic farming and usage of modern technology in farming and also about millets. However, the story turned out to be predictable and routine.He failed to blend the genex aspirations, romantic elements and message in an interesting manner. None of the scenes excites or connect with the viewers. The story lacked emotions and this impacted the film in a big way. Though the film's duration is less, one gets a feeling that it never ends.The story turned out to be routine and monotonous and screenplay and direction turned below average. The script lacked novelty and this is the biggest drawback.Arun Chiluveru, Prakash Cherukuri's music offered nothing new. The songs just increased the length of the duration and added no value. Cinematography of Ravi Kumar is just ok and as per the story. Kotagiri Venkateshwara Rao's editing left many unnecessary scenes. Dialogues are just ok. Production values are average.Mr.Work From Home Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e5a56a76a3f6aba316d93179d36d85329">Message</li><li data-list-item-id="e9c8ccd09884c58faa13828c7d8191ea1">Cinematography</li></ul>Mr.Work From Home Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eeb20f6c44e5d24f71cdf44abf66a0eb1">Routine Story</li><li data-list-item-id="e03366d8a64e38c16883a542529df3518">Missing Emotions</li></ul>Mr.Work From Home (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Mr.Work From Home gives another predictable message.
