Of late Tollywood stars are doing films and in the process are breaking caste barriers on the screen. &nbsp;A source shared "With Prabhas appearing with a sacred thread in the latest poster of Fauzi and reportedly playing an upper-caste Brahmin, Telugu stars seem increasingly willing to explore characters from different castes, classes and social backgrounds."The source continues "Ram Charan has also embraced rooted characters, playing Chitti Babu in Rangasthalam and taking on another rustic tribal avatar in Peddi. Allu Arjun, meanwhile, shed his glamorous image to play Pushpa Raj, a daily-wage labourer in Pushpa: The Rise. Together, these roles indicate that mainstream Telugu cinema is moving beyond its traditional world of affluent, urban heroes."Producer Lagadapati Sridhar says “It is a good thing to happen. I am happy that stars like Ram Charan and Allu Arjun are showing a new way by breaking conventional barriers and playing rooted characters that connect with sections of society that rarely found adequate space in mainstream cinema.”He added “For me, everyone is equal, although caste equations continue to play a critical role in politics. Cinema is also giving more space to the aspirations and struggles of disadvantaged communities, and that augurs well.He shared “Earlier, our heroes were mostly rich or urban youngsters. Today, they are wearing lungis, sporting beards and longer hair, and playing characters rooted in villages and smaller towns. This helps them connect with audiences even in remote regions.”The source pointed "The trend extends beyond the top stars. Naga Chaitanya played a fisherman in Thandel, while Vaishnav Tej’s Uppena revolved around caste and class divisions. Akhil Akkineni, too, has adopted a rustic avatar in Lenin. Earlier, Vishnu Manchu essayed the role of a tribal in 'Kannappa'."Sridhar says “Filmmakers are trying to expose regressive practices through cinema, and hard-hitting stories are increasingly finding space in the mainstream. Some films have addressed caste discrimination, others have dealt with prejudice based on skin colour, while several have depicted struggles against feudal oppression. Things are changing for the better.”Producer Kalyan C adds “It is a good sign that Telugu films are becoming more realistic and relatable. I am glad that social evils depicted in movies are triggering discussions among people.”He elaborated “The new-age audience is open to realism and willing to accept top heroes in rustic, close-to-real avatars. Cinema can certainly be one of the tools for social change, though it cannot transform society on its own. At best, such films can create awareness and make viewers think about the injustices around them.”Producer Ravi Shankar Yalamanchili says “Escapist cinema is slowly making room for topical themes, thanks to young filmmakers. Audiences no longer want just four scenes and four songs. Telugu cinema has increasingly been riding on content and moving closer to the realistic storytelling seen in Tamil and Malayalam cinema.”Director Sandeep Raj recollected “Everyone discouraged me from casting Suhas as the protagonist and questioned the offbeat theme, but I stuck to my guns. Eventually, Suhas proved ideal as the dark-skinned young lover, and the film won appreciation.”- Pramod Nandivada

Ameer Log(2026) Movie: What's BehindSmall film Ameer Log is generating interest with a captivating teaser and trailer. On top of that, with Rana associating with the project and presenting it, expectations increased. The film releases on 21 Aug 2026, and let us see what Ameer Log offers movie lovers.Ameer Log(2026) Movie: Story ReviewAmeer Log's story revolves around three friends who enjoy life in a bindaas manner before they are forced to change their behavior, and where this leads forms the interesting part.Seenu (Hari), Rafiq(Manoj) &nbsp;and Mallesh (Sashidhar) pass time not caring for their near and dear ones and following an incident, they change their ways, What is that incident, how it changed their lives and what part &nbsp;Nazeer (Sai Yogi), Chacha (Viswender Reddy), Seenu's mother, Rafiq's brother and sister in law, Mallesh's parents played and the connection to Geetha (Vedha Jalandharr), Ravi (Ravan Nitturu) should be watched on the screen.Ameer Log(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewHari, who played the lead role, did well as a youngster who, after spending life listlessly, changes himself. He showed good expressions and emotions and did justice to his role. Sashidhar performed well in the role and ensured that the narration sailed off smoothly. Manoj elevated the scenes with his dialogue delivery, body language, and mannerisms. He generated fun with his dialogues and at the same time drove home the message in a serious situation, showing good emotions and expressions.Visweswar Reddy played the role of Chacha to perfection. He delivered good dialogues and made an impact. Vedha Jalandharr did well in the role pivotal to the film. Ravn Nitturu is good in his role. Sai Yogi made an impression with his performance. Others like Pawon Ramesh performed according to their roles.Ameer Log(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewAmeer Log story is penned by Ramana Reddy Soma. He decided to entertain movie lovers, highlighting the Hyderabadi Deccan culture. He chose a simple point and narrated it in an interesting manner.Though the narration is predictable with three youngsters roaming listlessly before realizing their mistake and changing accordingly, the Deccani accent and the Old City vibes added value to it. What surprises all is that the director did not include a female lead in the film. He showed the female character as the sister to the three main characters.The dialogues are entertaining and natural, and none of them look forced and out of sync. The interval bang is done well turning the first half into a decent one. The second half continues in the same manner, and the screenplay and narration goes in a smooth and sedate manner.However for all the positives, the director after highlighting the conflict point and establishing it quite well, ends the film in a flat manner, disappointing all.The cinematography of SVK showed the Hyderabad old city vibes in a natural and realistic way. He used the camera angles to perfection and showed the nightlife and also the day hustles quite well and in an effective manner.The background score of Smaran Sai is good and complemented the proceedings, adding value to the narration. He came up with foot-tapping songs highlighting the old city culture and Deccani flavor. The editing of Rohit Penumasta is ok but could have been better, as there are a few drags that slowed the pace of the narration. Production values are decent.Ameer Log Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e63a707492f28924e8bd55737a4ddf8fb">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="e2cdd659a323b0df0fdc0258c27e9da61">Deccani Accent</li><li data-list-item-id="eeff2eba6d0200a4450cb60e7877eeb2c">Foot-tapping Songs</li><li data-list-item-id="eb798e6b2e19d950be65e4d8c505c1044">Cinematography</li></ul>Ameer Log Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e62cf5e55019ae876998791077248c816">Simple Ending</li><li data-list-item-id="e4437c33859f04dafd3dfc1e019df67c1">No Real Twists</li><li data-list-item-id="e96c119f9c5b72c0ebcf6780ba466db10">Predictable Plot</li></ul>Ameer Log(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Ameer Log turns out to be a decent entertainer highlighting the Hyderabad Deccan culture. Director Ramana Reddy Soma got the optimum output from the cast and crew, and Hari Munnangi, Sasidhar Kocharlakota, and Manoj came up with spirited performances.The story is simple, but Ramana Reddy, with his screenplay, turned the film into an entertaining one blending humour, emotions, and Deccani dialogues in an effective way. However, predictability crept in with the passage of time, and the unidimensional screenplay hampered the proceedings. The rushed climax did not add much value to the ending. A little fine-tuning of the script and inclusion of a few more twists and turns would have added more power to the final impact. Considering all these points, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Ameer Log.

He slipped into the role effortlessly. Not only did he show his heroism, but he also surprised all, captivating all with emotional scenes. He delivered dialogues and emoting in a powerful manner to elevate the scenes to the next level. He made a powerful impact on the screen and connected chords with the viewers. He came up with a subtle performance, balancing emotions and also the heroism which he is known for, and endeared himself as Mass Maha Raja.Priya Bhavani Shankar is apt in the role of his wife.

Sai Kumar is good in his role, and he brought up his experience and made a good impression.Swasika Vijay and Ramesh Indira did what was required of them, and Ajay Ghosh is ok in his role. Others performed according to their roles.Irumudi(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewIrumudi story is penned by Shiva Nirvana. Shiva Nirvana came up with a story to connect chords with the viewers with father-daughter sentiment, raising of children, and blended well with the commercial and devotional elements. The first half sails off smoothly with the typical introduction of the protagonist in a commercial mass manner and carries it in the same manner. However, in between, he loses steam, but still, the first half ends on a decent note, setting the tone for the second half.He continues in the same manner in the second half but adds a few more intense emotional elements. A couple of twists generate interest, surprising all. The twists come as a surprise in a rather predictable story, and the flat narration, especially in the second half. However, once the twists are unraveled, there is nothing much in the story to take it forward. The climax ends on an emotional note.GV. Prakash Kumar elevated the scenes with his background music. His background score added impact to the emotional scenes. His music and tunes for the songs already became the chartbusters. The song placement, however, could have been better.Vishnu Sharma, with his cinematography, turned the scenes into visually appealing manner. He showed the scenes in a natural and realistic way. Prawin Pudi's editing is ok and could have been better in the second half. A few repetitive scenes in the second half slowed the pace of the narration. Production values are grand.Irumudi Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ed49577737747e880a185d019569b6bb4">Ravi Teja</li><li data-list-item-id="edf0a57026dd59cee020e559edb0b711e">Couple of Twists</li><li data-list-item-id="eb1926a324d5ac0a073ad90c1a1141713">Emotional Elements</li></ul>Irumudi Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eaa383771ec717dd568ef9b36764b4e8b">Weak Characterisations</li><li data-list-item-id="e1e45af9ae233b1294c249aacc02fe629">Predictable Elements</li></ul>Irumudi(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Irumudi turns out to be a decent entertainer with a couple of twists. Ravi Teja carries the film with a balanced and subtle performance, while Shiva Nirvana blends the father-daughter relationship with commercial and devotional elements.The story maintains a routine flavor in parts, while the devotional backdrop adds a different dimension to the proceedings. Shiva Nirvana handles the first half well and keeps the narrative engaging with a few interesting moments. But the pre-interval and interval bangs turn out to be bland.The second half is driven more by emotions and twists, with the story gradually building curiosity. However, there is some lag in the proceedings, and a tighter screenplay with a little trimming in the second half could have made the film more engaging and impactful.Overall, Irumudi has its moments and works as a decent entertainer, with Ravi Teja’s performance and the emotional elements standing out. A little more grip in the second half could have elevated the final result further. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 3 rating for Irumudi.

They got inconsequential roles, and they tried their best to entertain with their performances.Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewPallaburusu story is penned by Uday Chauhan. He came up with a simple story to highlight the bonding between the children and parents and how the relations change in property disputes. One gets a feeling that he drew inspiration from the hit film Balagam. The narration in the first half flows in a neat and decent manner and sets the stage for the second half. The repetitive scenes in the second half diluted the intensity levels of the first half. However, the pre-climax and climax scenes bring the interest levels back. The screenplay turned out to be decent, and the direction is to the point.The music for Pawan CH is attractive and appealing. The songs are situational and are shot well. While one song is emotional, the other two songs are foot-tapping. His background music is in sync with the story. Vinod Bangari's cinematography is quite good. He showed the rural atmosphere in Telangana in a natural and realistic manner. Srujan Adusumilli's editing could have been far better as there are many repetitive scenes that dragged the pace of the narration. Dialogues are natural and hard-hitting. Production values are decent.Pallaburusu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e243c8363bbcc91d1475a5c23e19813ec">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="e688f7ce94fe211a4e098636e8dee19a0">Music</li><li data-list-item-id="eb67959d00143b170999ebb6da3152928">Cinematography</li></ul>Pallaburusu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ea4b9de0f99f6f789e9a1d1a21240c729">Dragged Narration</li><li data-list-item-id="e4eefd4e4f26bbbfbd112f43c49183daa">Lack of Conflict</li><li data-list-item-id="e09960c6e404ebdd053ff476ea73b3525">Predictable Plot</li></ul>Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Pallaburusu promises a lot but fails to deliver. Muralidhar Goud and Sudhakar Reddy comes with spirited performances and the director Uday Chauhan comes with simple story with interesting point. He tried to send a message to society in an entertaining manner but fails to connect chords with the viewers completely as the conflict point turns out to be weak.Uday Chauhan chose a simple point and tried to drive home an important message on how technology impacting the lives of people and children neglecting their parents in the old age. He takes the viewers into the story at the start itself but from then on failed to drive home the point in a convincing manner. The Ravi , Swetha love track and the father-daughter marriage episodes ends up testing the patience of the viewers.The court drama and the land dispute in the second half is shown in an illogical and silly manner. The point as to why son is hating his father is not shown in an elaborate manner and the father son bonding is not elevated properly except in the climax.A more racy screenplay, more intense and entertaining script would have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 1.75 rating for Pallaburusu.

Makutam(2026) Movie: What's BehindKollywood Star Vishal is known for his high octane action entertainers. He is coming with Magudam which is releasing in Telugu as Makutam on 14 Aug 2026. The film marks Vishal's debut as a director. Let us see what Vishal offered to movie lovers with Makutam.Makutam(2026) Movie: Story ReviewMakutam story is all about a &nbsp;medical representative and the shocking happenings in his life and the reason behind them. A honest medical representative, Krupakar ( Vishal) , finally realises his dream of owning a car. &nbsp;However, his holiday outing with his wife Jamuna( Dushara Vijayan) and children in his car leads to shocking developments.What are those shocking developments, how it is connected to Linga (Vishal), Annapurna (Anjali), Naga( Ajay), Jana ( John Vijay), Martin ,Lala, Pandu ( Jayaprakash ) and others form the rest of developments.Makutam(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVishal is ok in his role. The role is tailormade for him and he performed accordingly. Vishal also played the father role and his look and makeup looked odd on the screen. He should have cast another actor in the role.Dushara Vijayan is fine in her role. Anjali did not look good on the screen and she delivered dialogues at the top of her voice. John Vijay is ok in his role. Jaya Prakash made his presence felt. Others like &nbsp;Ajay, Vamsi Krishna, Abu Salim, Arjai, Jhansi, Padam Kumar, Sabhumon performed according to their roles.Makutam(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMakutam story is penned by Ravi Arasu. The film marked the debut of Vishal as the director. Vishal tried to entertain masses with commercial elements revolving around the import of Chinese auto parts. However, Vishal included more family drama, action elements instead of highlighting the main topic.All the scenes right from the first scene turned routine, monotonous and predictable. Many expected things to change after Vishal who was seen as a honest and innocent medical representive gets trageted. But nothing of that sorts happen and the entry of other Vishal character is expected to change the proceedings at least in the second half. However, the narration nosedives in the second half to a new low. The scenes featuring Vishal, Dushara Vijayan lack the emotional connect and looks mundane and the so called comedy with Thambi Ramaiah doesn't work.Things doesn't change in the second half and the so called flashback episode which is expected to take the film to next level is dragged to the core testing the patience of the viewers. The chemistry between Vishal and Anjali looked odd on screen and to the irritation of viewers, the pre climax and climax is dragged to the next level leaving people wonder when the film will end. The climax fight looked silly and illogical leaving all shocked. The story is outdated and screenplay and direction didnot inspire any confidence.GV. Prakash Kumar's music offered nothing new. The tunes turned below average. His background music fared no better. At times it turned out to be loud. The cinematography of Richard M Nathan is just average. Dialogues are pretty ordinary. Production values are ok Makutam Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e2c7ae3808f3c1f410bed131a98326c5e">None</li></ul>Makutam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0c7f70282766b62277359ce93b9421e9">Everything</li></ul>Makutam(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Makutam turns out to be below-average mass entertainer. Vishal completely failed as the director and much to the disappointment of all, he even failed as an actor. At times he overacted and other times he underperformed and looked disconnected completely. No amount of changes to the script and screenplay would have changed the final result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Makutam.

Artists ReviewAnush Thorat performed well as an innocent boy whose life changes completely following the turn of events. He showed good expressions and emotions and endeared to all with his performance.

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

But at times, she looked odd on the screen especially in the close shots.Ulka Gupta performed well in her role. She played the pivotal character and emoted well on the screen.

The entire first half is narrated in an interesting manner maintaining the suspense and unraveling the twists in an apt manner. The first half narration is decent and the screenplay is intact and racy keeping the interest levels of the viewers quite high setting the tone for the second half.However, MS.Raju loses plot in the second half with convenient screenplay. Instead of the protagonist unraveling the mystery of Agadha, other characters reveal everything to her, leaving nothing for her to do, thus diluting the over all impact. To the top of it, repetitive scenes impacted the flow of the narration. However, he generates interest in the runup to the climax before ending it in a decent manner.Nani Chamidisetty with his cinematography created the desired impact. He showed the scenes in an impactful manner using the color combinations and camera angles perfectly. The VFX and Graphics are of good quality. They could have however taken more care regarding the graphics. Art department could have done a better job as artificiality crept in the sets. The music of &nbsp;Rakesh Venkatapuram is good.

MS.Raju got good performances from the cast and crew. He started the narration in an interesting manner exciting all the viewers. He manages to keep the interest levels quite high unraveling the mystery one by one. However with the main mystery revealed in the interval block, he loses plot in the second half. This resulted in routine elements creeping in diluting the interest levels. The pre climax and climax is ok and the film ends on a decent note. A little finetuning of the script, doing away with convenient screenplay and adding more twists and turns, adding more scary and horror elements would have added value to the final outcome. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Agadha.&nbsp;

He looked menacing on screen. He showed good body language, mannerisms and expressions that comes out of anger after all he went through from his childhood days.Sashi Odela on debut came up with a sedate performance. He came up with relatable expressions and delivered dialogues accordingly.Yukthi Thareja is good on screen and indulged in glamor feast in couple of scenes. She delivered dialogues as per the situation. Muralidhar Goud and others performed according to their roles.KJQ (King Jackie Queen) Movie: Technicians ReviewKJQ story is penned by KK (Krishna Kumar). He came up with a simple but interesting story where he tried to explore the feelings and change of behavioral pattern among humans born in different situations. He establishes three characters King, Jackie and Queen in an interesting and exciting manner.However he fails to explore them deeply by elevating their character arcs. He touched only at the top of them and one gets a feeling that the job was only half done. While the first half established the characters of various people, second half tried to show them when they reach their peaks. There are few interesting scenes but with better screenplay, things would have become more interesting.The cinematography of Nagesh Banell is good.

Director KK got the optimum from the cast and crew and Dheekshith Shetty, Yukthi Thareja, Sashi Odela came up with spirited performances. Director KK seems to have drawn inspiration from Maniratnam's classic Thalapathi and the characters more or less resembled the same. A little finetuning of the script, even powerful screenplay and gripping narration exploring the three characters divining deep into them would have turned the output into a more powerful and impactful one. Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for KJQ.

She elevated the scenes with her screen presence. Kasturi Raja impressed especially in the climax. Krish Dhayal who played the role of police officer did well. However his role could have been even more powerful.DC(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDC story is penned by Arun Matheswaran. He came up with a simple story and blended it with action and romantic elements. Many expects Lokesh Kanagaraj to debut with an action entertainer. But the story had completely different blend of police atrocities and a commoner's fight against them. Arun Matheswaran did not deviate from the subject and even drag the romantic and love tracks with unnecessary lip locks, hugs and songs.Though even few romantic scenes slowed the pace of the film, he ensured that he quicky shifted to action genre to keep viewers interest glued. The first half ends on a decent note with the cat and mouse game between the cops and the rebels. The second half continues in the same way with the introduction of new characters and the pre climax connects chords with all with the film finally ending on a predictable note. The predictability in the story, illogical scenes and few boring elements undid all the hard work.The cinematography of Mukesh is good. He showed the period look in the story in a appealing and relatable manner. Anirudh Ravichander's tunes for the songs are just ok. The songs had a montage touch. But he elevated the scenes with his unique and terrific background score. He showed variety in the background music. He showed his creativity by scoring background in a poetic manner. Prasanna.

He came up with a hilarious horror thriller to entertain movie lovers. He starts the narration in a stylish manner in Korea before moving to Penugonda . After the introduction of protagonist in a typical mass way &nbsp;he shows the heroine. The narration treads in a familiar trope and screenplay assumes a routine flavor. To the top of it, the over usage of Korean language puts off the viewers. The interval sequence and the possession of the spirit excites all, setting the tone for the second half.The second half's gangster role is dragged to the core. While few comedy scenes involving Varun Tej and Satya evoked laughter, others looked forced. The climax takes everyone by surprise and though looked different didn't leave the desired impact. The story ends in a funny way with the lead to the sequel.Thaman's music offered nothing new. The songs are few and didn't make much impact. Thaman's background music followed the same template.

Varun Tej came up with an impressive and terrific performance. However, Merlapaka Gandhi though came up with an interesting story, he ended up confusing viewers with lot of Korean language dialogues and also few unnecessary scenes. Had he done away with them and turned the script stronger and Screenplay tighter, things would have been different. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Korean Kanakaraju. &nbsp;

Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: What's BehindObjection My Lord which starred Srikanth and Mukesh Rishi in the lead roles under the direction of Santosh Ayyappan is getting streamed on Zee5 starting from 31 July 2026. The promotions generated interest and let us see what the webseries offered to movielovers.Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Story ReviewObjection My Lord story revolves around an advocate and the case he argues where a father immolates following the disappearance of his daughter. The shocking incident of Narayana(Rayala Harischandra) who immolates himself following the mysterious disappearance of his daughter Sameera(Snehal Kamath), forces promising lawyer Parasuram (Srikanth) to come out of exile.Why Parasuram was in exile, what are the circumstances that forced him to do so, how it is connected to influential lawyer Viswanath (Mukesh Rishi), promising young lawyer Vedha (Ananya Sharma),CI Damu (Sameer), form the interesting part of the narration.Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Artists ReviewSrikanth breathed life into the story. He performed well showing variations according to the situation. He showed good emotions highlighting personal and professional problems. He made his presence felt in the scenes involving courtroom drama. Though such roles are tailor made for him, he added value with his performance.Mukesh Rishi is seen after a longtime and he made an impact. However his character lacked depth and under developed. Rayala Harischandra played the role of the father in a natural manner elevating the emotions. Ananya Sharma impressed with her energetic performance. Snehal Kamath did well highlighting the emotions in her role. She in fact lived in her role. Sameer is good in his role and so was Gemini Suresh.Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Technicians ReviewObjection My Lord story is penned by director Santosh Ayyappan. The series comes with 7 episodes and each episode has the duration of 25-35 minutes. Many gripping courtroom dramas like Amitabh Bachchan's Pink and its remake Pawan Kalyan's Vakeel Saab came. He drew inspiration from them and tried to tell them in a realistic way.The narration starts in an interesting manner and the director does well balancing both sides of the views. The first three episodes keep the interest levels intact, but when one expects it to reach the next level with intense courtroom arguments, the director loses steam.From then on everything turns repetitive, testing the patience of the viewers. The slow pace of the narration ends up irritating the people. Dialogues turnout to be pretty ordinary. The expected emotions and drama in the courtroom arguments goes missing completely. Even the character arcs are not created properly after the initial introduction. The series and the narration lacked the required twists and turns.The first four episodes are predictable and offer no real twists. The fifth episode had a small twist but it did not excite anyone. The entry of Sameera only generates little interest. Many characters and their relations are not established properly and also there are many illogical scenes and convenient episodes.The background score of Anil Chiluvuru is good. However the cinematography of Suryaa and editing of Kishore turned out to be below average. Production values are decent.Objection My Lord Web Series: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e1d2e423b3717267070631790295a3795">Srikanth</li><li data-list-item-id="e782ee30177a02763c3ae97ef22e048c9">Few Scenes in The Court</li></ul>Objection My Lord Web Series: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eb04034c28c29b4175bc19f6385771c34">Missing Confrontation</li><li data-list-item-id="e44cd351a8887c6d22de6b4060954a7b1">Slow Narration</li></ul>Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Rating AnalysisObjection My Lord turns out to be a pretty ordinary, subpart courtroom drama. Srikanth came up with a spirited performance and carried the episodes on his shoulders but director Santosh Ayyappan failed to generate interest with his substandard screenplay and direction. He failed completely to create a gripping conflict and the weak characters spoiled the essence. He should have worked hard on the script and screenplay and character arcs to connect chords with the viewers. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Objection My Lord.

Karmakhya (2026) Movie: What's BehindSamuthirakhani, Abhirami's Karmakhya directed by Abhinaya Krishna generated interest with gripping teaser and trailer. The film released on 31 July 2026. Let us see what Karmakhya offered to movie lovers.Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Story ReviewKarmakhya story revolves around a young girl and the happens in her life when she tries to help her friend and how she deals with them. Kaamakhya (Samaira) volunteers to help her friend Pravillika (Saranya Pradeep) by meeting her client to enable her to attend her family wedding.However Kaamakhya's decision turns her life drastically. What happens to Kaamakhya, what roles SI Tirupathi (Samuthirakhani), Abhirami (Sarojini), her husband (Anand), Pragya (Aishwarya) and others played form rest of the narration.Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSamaira on debut came up with spirited performance. She played the lead role and her intensity helped to maintain the interest levels through out the film. She emoted and expressed well and also came up with impactful dialogues. She even expressed through her eyes.Abhirami looked good on the screen. She is intense in her expressions and emotions and increased the seriousness and ferocity in her character. Anand is fine in the role of Abhirami's husband in the film. He at the start evoked sympathy and then the twist surprises. Samuthirakhani made his presence felt showing different shades with ease.Madhunandan, Vaishnav, Dhanraj, Raghava, Aishwarya, Gaddam Naveen passed through the motions. The comedy scenes featuring Dhanraj, Rocket Raghava and others didnot get the desired result.Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewThe story of Karmakhya is penned by Abhinaya Krishna. He tried to come up with a thriller based on the spiritual elements. He starts the narration revealing the importance of Kaamakhya Sakthi Peetham in Guwahati but the introduction of other characters slowed the pace of the film.The narration picks of pace in a slow and steady manner and it reaches peaks once the characters of Abhirami and others are introduced. But once again the Samuthirakhani character puts off all initially with the weak role. The second half screenplay turns out to be racy and director decided to concentrate on main plot rather than spend time on unnecessary comedy scenes. The twists and the climax take the film to the next level.Kushender Ramesh Reddy with his cinematography added value to the narration. He with his camera angles got the desired impact on the screen. Gyaani's background music elevated the scenes and ensured the narration sails smoothly maintaining the same tempo. The editing of Sree Varaprasad is ok but could have been better as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are decent and production values are good.Karmakhya Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ecbf06dff5d988187173efeb800a4c6d4">Samaira, Abhirami</li><li data-list-item-id="e1cce435ac441106b8c3d246d67a8ef62">Few Twists</li></ul>Karmakhya Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0bb35decba20c6c73dc8a275427532aa">Lack of Interesting Elements</li><li data-list-item-id="ee54643c4aaf85742fc8bfe6a351357c1">Repetitive Scenes</li></ul>Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether Karmakhya &nbsp;turns out to be an average thriller. Debutante Samaira, Abhirami, and Anand came up with good performances and Samuthirakhani made an impact in the climax. Director Abhinaya Krishna tried to impress viewers with the blend of supernatural and thrilling elements touching on the witchcraft rituals and human sacrifices. However, the deviations in the start, slow pace in the narration and repetitive scenes undid all his good intentions. Rework on the script, a racy screenplay and few more twists and turns and doing away with mundane elements would have added value to the final outcome. Considering all these elements,Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Karmakhya.
