Panchanama(2026) Web Series: What's BehindStar anchor Udaya Bhanu turned producer and came up with a webseries titled interestingly as Panchanama. The six episode webseries started streaming on Zee5 starting from 11 Sep 2026. Let us find out what the webseries offered to viewers.Panchanama(2026) Web Series: Story ReviewPanchanama revolves around police officer investigating an accidental death and the starting revelations he finds out. Jai Ram (Bharath Srinivasan), a sincere police officer starts investigating the death of Aadi (Charan Babu) and few other orphans. What starts as a routine investigation, becomes bigger with shocking turn of events.What are those shocking turn of events, how it is connected to Dharani (Medha Reddy), Hari (Surya Srinivas), Dr. Pushpavalli (Rupa Lakshmi), Murali (Sivaji Raja) and others from the interesting twists.Panchanama(2026) Web Series: Artists ReviewBharath Srinivasan performed well. He suited the role of the cop and apart from showing the seriousness, he also emoted quite well as per the situation. Female lead Medha Reddy is ok in her role. Balagam fame Rupa Lakshmi performed well in a role with different shades. Surya Srinivas is good in his role. Sivaji Raja in the role of father got limited screen presence but he did justice to his role. Charan Babu, Srija and Radhika Preethi performed well according to their roles.Panchanama(2026) Web Series: Technicians ReviewPanchanama story is penned by Mohan Srivatsa. The webseries comes with 6 episodes, each with a duration of around 25-30 minutes. He tried to thrill viewers with the medical mafia storyline. He managed to generate interest at times however the screenplay turned out to be utterly predictable and bereft of twists. Generally crime thrillers have good following in the OTTs and so Mohan Srivatsa also chose the similar topic.He drew inspiration from Malayalam webseries and followed the same template of a cop investigating the mysterious death and then he exposed the medical mafia. He highlighted the nexus between medical mafia, doctors and organ trafficking. Apart from it, he also highlighted the emotions between brothers and sisters.However, the screenplay assumed predictable trope and the narration lacked the exciting and interesting twists and turns. One can easily predict the villains and the next scenes easily. Even the crime investigation scenes are not shown in an interesting manner. With the unraveling of the villain in the final episode, the webseries ends on a tame note.Naresh Kumaran elevated the scenes with his background music. The cinematography of Sandeep Kanth gave the scenes and proceedings a realistic feel. Editing of Srinivas Bynaboina is ok and could have been better as there are scenes that dragged the pace of the narration. Production values are good.Panchanama Web Series: Advantages<ul><li>Plot</li><li>Few Scenes</li></ul>Panchanama Web Series:Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable Elements</li><li>Lack of Twists</li></ul>Panchanama(2026) Web Series: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Panchanama turns out to be another run of the mill investigative medical thriller. Director Mohan Srivatsa cameup with a thriller in the backdrop of medical mafia and many such films and series' came earlier. Though the plot is interesting, Mohan Srivasta's screenplay turned predictable with investigation scenes failing to excite viewers. To the top of it, with the villain not getting arrested, viewers feel that the series ended in a incomplete manner as the makers thought of coming with season 2. The forced romantic elements, artificial villianisms, etc robbed the viewers of realistic experience. A little finetuning of the script, racy screenplay, doing away with redundant elements and more thrilling twists would have added value to the proceedings. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Panchanama.

He slipped into the role effortlessly and did what is required of him as it is tailormade for him. He impressed with his expressions and emotions and is good with his dialogue delivery.Vennela Kishore played the role of his friend and he is ok and his role comes with a surprise element. Rajeev Kanakala played the role of the doctor and Brahmanandam is ok in the role of a temple priest. Even Brahmanandam's role comes with a surprise twist like Vennela Kishore role. Meenakshi Gowami is ok in the role of Aadya. She got limited screen presence. Manju Bhargavi is ok and so did Kamal Kamaraju and Vamsee Chaganti in their roles.Siddhu Jonnalagadda, with his cameo, made a powerful presence on the screen.

He tried to thrill viewers with mysterious deaths in the backdrop of a temple and its Goddess. Many such films came earlier and Santossh seems to have drawn inspiration from films like Murari, Karthikeya, Virupaksha and others.He starts the narration on a interesting note but the first half turns out to be roller coaster with the story moving no where after a point of time. But the decent end to the first half, despite the flaws sets the tone for the second half. However second half ends up testing the patience of the viewers the moment flashback episode appears. The scenes turns repetitive as the core point turns out to be simple and seems director lost steam after a point of time. Finally, the film ends in a predictable manner. Screenplay and direction turned out to be pretty average.Junaid Siddique's editing left a lot to be desired. While the first half had few lags but still it turned out to be a decent watch, the second half ended up testing the patience of the viewers with scenes dragging to eternity and the flashback episode making everyone fall asleep. Pratap R Krishna's cinematography is good. He showed the scenes in a natural and realistic way but the CGI ad VFX looked below standard. Anup Rubens background score is in sync with the story. There is nothing much out of box he got to do but he just moved along with the tide. Dialogues are ok. Production values are decent.Mahendragiri Varahi Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Sumanth</li><li>Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Aishwarya Rajesh cameos</li><li>Few Scenes</li></ul>Mahendragiri Varahi Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Monotonous Elements</li><li>Lack of Thrills</li></ul>Mahendragiri Varahi (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Mahendragiri Varahi turns out to be routine spiritual thriller. Sumanth came up with decent performance but he was not required to do anything extraordinary. Director Santossh Jagarlapudi's story assumed similarities to earlier hit films and this robbed viewers of a new experience. However, few scenes surprise viewers and the cameos generate interest. However, weak script and just average screenplay and direction turned spoiled all the good intentions. Little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay would have added value to the final output. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Mahendragiri Varahi.

Mahendragiri Varahi Review

Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: What's BehindAnand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya are back together after their impressive combination in Baby. This time, they are paired in Epic First Semester, directed by Aditya Haasan. The film carries the curiosity of exploring the journey of a young man who lands in the UK and experiences love, relationships and life away from home. Let us see what surprises Epic First Semester has in store.Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: Story ReviewThe story revolves around Aditya, an aspiring filmmaker who lands in the UK against his wishes because of his parents Chandrashekhar and Rani.An introvert who has hardly interacted with girls suddenly finds himself in a completely new environment. His meeting with Kadali changes his world, and their relationship gradually moves through love, live-in life, emotional confusion, and the realities of a serious relationship.The situations they face and where their relationship finally heads form the rest of the story.Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAnand Deverakonda performs well as Aditya. He brings innocence and vulnerability to the character and is particularly good in scenes involving his introverted nature and discomfort in a new environment.Vaishnavi Chaitanya gets a contrasting character and does justice to the role. Her mood swings and emotional changes are handled reasonably well. The chemistry between Anand and Vaishnavi works in several portions, although it does not reach the intensity of their Baby combination.Sivaji and Vasuki have limited scope as Anand's parents but make their presence felt. Srinivas Gavi Reddy gets a few laughs as Manoj. Kalyan Shankar is decent in his role as Sinjith. The remaining actors perform according to their roles.Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewAditya Haasan starts the film on an interesting note by taking the character of Aditya into a new phase of his life. The idea of showing what happens when an innocent youngster grows up and lands in a foreign country has potential.The first half has enough lively moments to keep the proceedings moving. The relationship between Aditya and Kadali develops naturally in parts, and the film becomes more engaging once their equation takes a serious turn.The second half is where the film loses some momentum. The relationship discussions, pregnancy fears, marriage and practical problems provide the central conflict, but the film does not always create enough tension around them.Still, unlike a completely routine romantic drama, the film has a few emotionally relatable situations. The conflict may be small, but some of the characters and conversations manage to hold attention. The climax could have been stronger. The open ending is clearly designed to leave scope for the next chapter, but it does not deliver the expected emotional punch.Hesham Abdul Wahab's music is one of the film's positives. The songs are melodious and suit the mood of the story. His background score is also decent. Azeem Mohammad's cinematography gives the film a pleasant look. The UK locations are captured beautifully and add freshness to the proceedings.Navin Nooli's editing is adequate, though some portions could have been trimmed. The dialogues are mostly natural, with a few bold conversations adding flavour. Production values are good.Epic Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Anand Deverakonda's performance</li><li>Vaishnavi Chaitanya's performance</li><li>Music And BGM</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Some relatable relationship moments</li><li>First half</li></ul>Epic Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Slow second half</li><li>Limited conflict</li><li>Repetitive conversations</li><li>Climax</li><li>Emotional impact could have been stronger</li></ul>Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisEpic First Semester is a decent attempt at presenting the emotional journey of an introvert youngster experiencing love and relationships in a foreign country.The biggest advantage is that the film does not completely depend on artificial twists or forced drama. Anand and Vaishnavi bring a certain naturalness to their characters, and their chemistry works in several scenes.At the same time, the simple conflict becomes both the strength and weakness of the film. The situations are relatable, but the screenplay sometimes takes too long to move forward. A tighter edit could have made the film considerably more engaging.The film also misses some of the entertainment and emotional intensity that made Baby such a talking point. However, Epic First Semester has enough good moments, decent performances and soothing music to make it a one-time watch for viewers who enjoy relationship dramas.Considering these elements, CineJosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Epic First Semester.

The writing and screenplay did not inspire any confidence and direction failed to justice in any manner.With routine and outdated story and despite the claims of based on real life incidents, the film failed to generate interest. There is not a single scene in the film that generated interest among movie lovers. Everything turned out to be a tedious watch. Even the so called comedy scenes looked forced and senseless. The romantic track turned out to be another weak point and the entire second half which revolves around finding the missing bison, is redundant with repetitive scenes testing the patience of the viewers. The pre climax and climax are stretched to the core and finally when the film ended, viewers heave a sigh of relief.Prashanth R. Vihari, Bipradeep Dutta's tunes are just ok. The background score is fine but the substandard story couldn't be elevated by their efforts. The cinematography of Prasanth Ankireddy is below standard, disappointing all. Editing of Sai Babu Talari offered nothing much and he left many scenes unattended. Dialogues are nothing new and production values are below standard.Maremma Movie: Advantages<ul><li>None</li></ul>Maremma Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Casting</li><li>Lack of Exciting Elements</li><li>Writing</li></ul>Maremma (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Maremma turns out to be a disappointing drama in Telangana backdrop. Maadhav's weak performance and director Manchala Nagraj's senseless story, spineless screenplay and outdated script turned the film into a woeful one. No amount of rework would have changed the fate of Maremma. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Maremma.

A little finetuning of the script, including more interesting and exciting elements and racy screenplay would have added more fire power. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating to Mandaadi.

However this time his performance turned out to be a roller coaster ride. At times he looked terrific on the screen and at other times he looked like a novice. His dialogues had an anglical accent and this may not go well with all viewers. He is good on screen with his body language, dialogue delivery and emotions.Kayadu Lohar is ok in her role. She looked good on the screen but got limited scope to show her acting talent. Antony Varghese Pepe steals the show with his impactful performance. So did Samyukta Viswanathan in her role. Mysskin played the role of the antagonist and his role is too predictable. To over come that he tried to bring in eccentricity but it impacted in a negative way. Vinay Forrt and Kathir were minimised on the screen. Others performed as per their roles.Technicians ReviewI'm Game story is penned by Nihas Hidayath. He came up with an interesting and exciting plot. However the narration and screenplay shifts completely turning the entire thing into a disjointed one. Nihas Hidayath narrated so many things and this makes viewers get accustomed to the happenings and the characters.

But there are many scenes and characters that looked forced and out of sync to the story.While the first half after the initial confusion, turns interesting in the run up to the interval and brings an end setting to the exciting second half, the second half sinks even further. There are many unnecessary characters and the flat narration and uninspiring execution played the spoil sport. The flashback episodes undoes all the good intentions. Everything ended up irritating and testing the patience of the viewers.The music and background tuned by Jakes Bejoy turned out to be a disappointing affair. He tried to elevate the scenes that offered nothing new. Jimshi Khalid's cinematography got nothing much to excite . &nbsp;The editing of Chaman Chakko could have been far better as there are scenes that impacted the flow of the narration. Dialogues are ok and production values are grand.Advantages<ul><li>Unique Concept</li></ul>Disadvantages<ul><li>Screenplay</li><li>Confusing Narration&nbsp;</li><li>Cliched Elements&nbsp;</li><li>Listless Characterizations</li></ul>Rating AnalysisAltogether, I'm Game turns out to be average thriller. Dulqer Salmaan should be credited for selecting a different story and Nihas Hidayath came up with a unique plot. However, Nihas completely failed with his screenplay and direction. In trying to include more twists and turns, he introduced numerous characters ending up confusing the viewers. Everything turned flat and he failed to do justice with disappointing execution. A little finetuning of the script, racy screenplay, doing away with predictability could have added more spice to the proceedings. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.75 rating for I'm Game.

The role is tailor-made for him, and he needs not do anything unique for the role. His comic timing is intact, and he did well in emotional scenes. Allari Naresh, since his entry, has done silly comedy films and, after a longtime once again did the same.Sr Naresh stole the show with his performance. He made an impact with his dialogue delivery, emotions, and expressions. His screen presence is good, and he entertained with his antics.Vennela Kishore is good in his role as Indra. Vishnu Priya, Prisha Singh, and Rashi Singh are ok in the roles of Rambha, Oorvasi, and Menaka.Rashi Singh got limited screen presence. She didn't get much scope to show her acting talent. Tarak Ponnappa is ok in the role of the antagonist.There are many actors like Kalyani Raj, Shiju, Hari Teja, Goparaju Ramana, Goparaju Vijay, RK.Mama, Rachi Ravi, Ravi Siva Teja, and they got blink-and-miss roles.Rambha Oorvasi Menaka(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewRambha Oorvasi Menaka story is penned by Chandramohan Chitanda. The story is similar to many old films like Yamaleela and others. Though there is scope to generate comedy, he failed to do so. Though there are a few scenes and youthful dialogues, none of them worked due to cliched scenes and outdated narration.Chota K Prasad's editing left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that are repetitive, and the predictable plot and weak script made the masters worse.Raam Reddy's cinematography and Chaitan Bharadwaj's music and background score are in sync with the story, and they are extremely outdated.Dialogues have an old flavor, and a few are hilarious. Production values are just average.Rambha Oorvasi Menaka Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Allari Naresh, Srinivas Reddy, Sr Naresh</li><li>Few Hilarious Scenes</li></ul>Rambha Oorvasi Menaka Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable Story</li></ul>Rambha Oorvasi Menaka(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Rambha Oorvasi Menaka is cringe to the core. Allari Naresh tried to return back to the comedy genre, and keeping in view director Chandra Mohan readies the story. But the problem is, Allari Naresh is stuck with the same 90s-era comedy, and the director also didn't try to come out of it. This resulted in a weak story, a silly screenplay, and listless direction. No amount of changes in the script and screenplay will change the output of the film. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Rambha Oorvasi Menaka. &nbsp;

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

However, he took more time in establishing characters at the start and then dragged the narration with the scenes involving friends and then introducing the female lead. At that time one gets a feeling that the story is heading no where and the screenplay looked stale.After the predictable first half, except for the hilarious sequence in the runup to the interval and the interval block, the stage is set for the second half. The second half continues in the same way and the few comedy scenes involving the cop did not generate the required humour as it turned repetitive.The pre climax and climax picks up pace and the cameo involving Anudeep entertains all turning the film into a decent watch. There are many illogical scenes and the director failed to justify the behavior of the female lead and at time the hero character. Though the film is touted to be a romantic entertainer, it misses the strong romantic elements.Pavan Pappula turned the film visually appealing on the screen. He turned the scenes into colorful ones. Vasuki Vabhav's songs are melodious and at one touches souls and hearts. They are shot in a beautiful manner. The background music is in sync with the story.

There are many scenes that impacted the flow of the narration and tested the patience of the viewers. Production values are good.Romanchakam Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Youthful Elements</li><li>Couple of Songs</li><li>Cinematography</li></ul>Romanchakam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Screenplay, Story</li><li>Predictable Elements</li><li>Over The Top Dialogues</li></ul>Romanchakam(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Romanchakam turns out to be predictable youthful entertainer. Director Venu Gopal Reddy Puppala came up with a simple story and he tried to entertain viewers with situational comedy. To some extent he succeeded but at times the dialogues turned over the top with all the actors indulging in shouting slugfest. The screenplay also offered nothing new. Youngsters may like the film to some extent if they ignore the predictability. Had he added few interesting elements and racy screenplay, impact would have been even more greater. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Romanchakam. &nbsp;

The narration starts in an interesting way but quickly assumes predictable and monotonous flavour with the hero and heroine romantic track. Till the end of the first half, the so called thrill factor goes missing. He spent time with silly comedy scenes and romantic scenes and brings an end to the proceedings with the bold song setting the tone for the second half.While the first half is full of youthful romantic elements, the second half is filled with few thrills. Couple of scenes that come with twists may surprise common viewers but those who are used to watch such films find them predictable. But once those twists are revealed it is just a matter of time as to how the proceedings are brought to a logical conclusion.The first half filled with romantic and bold scenes is in complete contrast to the second half filled with couple of twists. The story turned out to be predictable and screenplay left many questions unanswered with illogical elements. The pre climax is ok while the climax turns out to be tame.Ramakrishna.

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