<p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Fans of Ranveer Singh are waiting for Dhurandhar 2 to come on OTT. There is no official date yet, but a Delhi High Court case gave a big hint. During a hearing about the Tirchi Topiwale song, the makers said the film will likely not release on OTT before mid May. This has made people think the movie may drop online soon after that. The spy thriller has been running in theatres for seven weeks now and is a huge hit.</p><p>The court case is about the famous song Tirchi Topiwale from the 1989 film Tridev. Director Rajiv Rai said Dhurandhar 2 used the song without permission. In the film, the song comes during the climax in a new form called Rang De Lal. Shashwat Sachdev composed the new version. Rajiv Rai and his company Trimurti Films said this is copyright infringement. The court first asked both sides to settle the issue outside court. But the mediation failed. The next hearing is on May 8. During the hearing, B62 Studios told the court that an OTT release is not planned before mid May.</p><p>Dhurandhar 2 released in theatres and completed eight weeks on May 14. Most big films come to OTT after eight to ten weeks. So a mid May or late May release makes sense. The first film came on Netflix after a similar run. But many reports say the sequel may stream on JioHotstar this time. Nothing is confirmed yet. The film stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun. Aditya Dhar directed it. It is produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios.</p><p>The movie tells the story of an Indian spy in Karachi and is full of big action scenes. People loved Ranveer’s performance and the scale of the film. The Dhurandhar series has now made over Rs 3,100 crore worldwide. Dhurandhar 2 alone earned around Rs 1,800 crore globally. &nbsp;If the mid May timeline is right, we should get an official announcement very soon.</p>

This will increase the current Rs 14,111 crs yearly expenses to Rs 36,029 annually. He is also planning to increase free electricity from 100 units to 200 units and the subsidy will increase by Rs 12000crs. This will be an additional burden of Rs 4248crs to the state government.</p><p>Increase of old age, widow and disabled people pension to Rs 3000 will add another Rs 8800crs and free six cylinders will cost Rs 7074crs, financial support to farmers by Rs 15000 increased Rs 1941crs.

<p>There are two types of stars in Indian cinema. The first type comes in with a big bang. Their first film breaks records. Their face is on every poster. Their name trends before anyone even watches the movie. The industry talks about them a lot, but then waits to see if they can really act. The second type grows slowly. They work in film after film, in different languages, with different directors. They do not shout about themselves. They let their work speak. By the time people notice them, they are already strong and ready.</p><p>Bhagyashri Borse turns 26, and she is clearly the second type. With the big news of Seyon coming out on her birthday, we cannot ignore her anymore. The Tamil thriller stars Sivakarthikeyan, is directed by Sivakumar Murugesan, and is produced by Kamal Haasan under Raaj Kamal Films International. Bhagyashri started with small steps but made sure each step counted.</p><p>After her debut, she worked in Telugu and Hindi films and picked roles that showed her range. Fans loved her screen presence and directors praised her for being simple, hardworking, and focused. She did not run after hype. She chose good scripts. That is why Seyon feels like the right next move. A Tamil film with Sivakarthikeyan and Kamal Haasan’s banner means she is now truly pan-India.</p><p>This is not a rising star anymore. This is a star who has already arrived, and we are just looking up now. Bhagyashri did not become famous overnight. She built her name film by film. Seyon is a thriller, and people in the industry say her role is very strong and different from what she has done before. With Kamal Haasan backing the project, expectations are high. Her journey shows that real talent does not need noise. It needs time, work, and good choices. As she celebrates her 26th birthday, Bhagyashri Borse stands tall as a true pan-India name.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Who would say no to working with him? When I was on set, I was relying on the filmmaker to translate the song, and when they were shooting it nothing seemed inappropriate or vulgar. What they have done right now is a Hindi version and dubbing with really obscene words, overlaid over my dance. I had no idea and no one took my approval. When I attended the launch of the Kannada song I also saw they used very unflattering images of me in the lyrical version and also used AI-generated images of me and Sanjay Dutt,” She continued . “I told the director this is not Okay, there will be backlash.”&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Mension House Mallesh (2026) Movie: What's Behind</h2>
<p>Srinath Magannti's Mension House Mallesh directed by Bala Satish hit the screens today. The film is releasing on 6 Feb 2026. The film's OTT deal is yet to be finalised. Let us see how the film entertained movie lovers.</p>
<h2>Mension House Mallesh (2026) Movie: Story Review&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Mension House Mallesh story revolves around a wayward drunkard who gets married at the insistence of his mother and how he deals with the after shocks of his marriage. Mallesh (Srinath Maganti) has a wretched past and gets addicted to drinking, and after reuniting with his mother Sankaramma (Padma Nimmanagonti), he enters into wedlock with Jyothi (Gayathri Ramana).</p>
<p>However, his macho posture gets a huge shock and where this leads to and what role his friend Veerraju (Rajkumar Kasireddy), Sudhakar (Muralidhar Goud), his father Bikshapathi (Vishwanath Mandalika), Chinna Patel aka Keshav (Rajhessh), his wife Padma (Sai Kamakshi Bhaskarla) form the interesting part.</p>
<h2>Mension House Mallesh (2026) Movie: Artists Review&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Srinath Maganti performed well in the lead role. He showed the pain of carrying his childhood happennings and dealing with them and also showed his mass angle showing his prowess with rustic and rugged look. He entertained with his mass mannerims and expressions and emotions. He with his screen presence made an impact on the screen with his dialogue delivery.</p>
<p>Rajhessh performed well in the role of the antagonist Patel and the scenes featuring him and Srinath stands out. Gayathri Ramana made her debut and she performed well in the role of a innocent young girl who also takes a bold stand while choosing her life partner.</p>
<p>Rajkumar Kasireddy and Muralidhar Goud made their presence felt with their performances. Vishwabath Mandalika is ok in the role of&nbsp; the lead actor's father. Kamakshi Bhaskarla got limited screen presence and in one scene she came up with powerful performance. Others performed according to their roles.</p>
<h2>Mension House Mallesh Movie: Technicians Review&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Mension House Mallesh story is penned by Bala Satish. Bala Satish came up with a story in the backdrop of a rustic village atmosphere. The story has no new elements and lacks freshness. It starts in a predictable manner and continues in the same vein right from the start to the finish.</p>
<p>He added mass elements and double-meaning dialogues to appeal to B,C centres. He drew inspiration from the films like Ek Mini Katha and others. He took the core point from such kind of films which viewers were treated with earlier and added mass elements to attract.</p>
<p>Few scenes in the first half may appeal to masses but even they cannot sit through all the drinking scenes at the start. The second half turns out to be a patience tester and pre climax turns out to be little decent before the film comes to a happy ending. The story turned out to be routine and predictable and screenplay turned out to be uni dimensional and convenient. Direction followed the familiar traits.</p>
<p>Suresh Bobbili's background music is according to the story and the narration. The songs are situational and didnot make much impact. Ammamuthu's cinematography highlighted the rustic village atmosphere quite well and in a realistic and natural manner. The editing of Garry.BH is ok but could have been better as there are many repetitive scenes that impacted the flow of the narration. Dialogues are penned to attract the masses. Production values are good.</p>
<h2>Mension House Mallesh - Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Srinath Maganti</li>
<li>Cinematography</li>
</ul>
<h2>Mension House Mallesh - Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Routine Story</li>
<li>Adult Content</li>
</ul>
<h2>Mension House Mallesh Movie: Rating Analysis&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Altogether, Mension House Mallesh turns out to be outdated mass entertainer. Srinanth Maganti came up with a spirited performance but director Bala Satish except for adding mass elements, failed to come up with a powerful story. Had he comeup with few powerful characters and freshness in the story, things would have made little different. Considering all these elements, <strong>Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Mension House Mallesh</strong>.</p>

Mension House Mallesh Review

<h2>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani (2026) Movie: What's Behind</h2>
<p>Sivaji and Laya are coming together to entertain movie lovers with the film titled Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani. The film directed by Sudheer Ram is generating interest as it is named after the hit song from Sivaji's 90s Biopic webseries. The film which was supposed for OTT streaming later opted for theatrical release. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by ETV Win. The film is releasing on 6 Feb 2026. Let us see how the film entertained movie lovers.</p>
<h2>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani: Story Review</h2>
<p>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani story revolves around a middle class family whose happy life turns upside down due to surprising events and how they overcome them. Sriram (Sivaji) is a honest Panchayat Secretary leading a peaceful life with his wife Uttara (Laya) who craves to get rich and his son Mittu (Rohan) in Horsely Hills. However their life takes a startling turn when Sriram gets involved in a heated argument with the SI Vikram (Prince Cecil). Where this leads to and what role MLA Thimmappa (Sharat Lohitaswa), police&nbsp; officer Sudheer (Dhanraj), Raghava (Ali) form the rest of the narration.</p>
<h2>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani: Artists Review</h2>
<p>Sivaji did well in the role of a honest person who goes all out to save his family when faced with a difficult situation. He showed good expressions and emotions and his bod language is natural and realistic.</p>
<p>Laya complimented him well as the housewife. She did a good job and delivered dialogues accordingly. Roshan is ok in the role of their son.After a longtime, Prince Cecil is see in a key role and he is ok with is performance.&nbsp; Dhanraj performed in a typical manner in the role of the police officer and it is tailormade for him. Ali's role failed to evoke laughs.</p>
<p>Others like Jabardasth Emmanuel, Raj Tirandasu, Karan,Sharath Lohithaswa played their roles accordingly.</p>
<h2>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani: Technicians Review</h2>
<p>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani story is written by Sudheer Ram. He tried to come up with a hilarious crime thriller and for that he came up with a tried and tested formula. His story drew inspiration from films like Drushyam and many other films alike.</p>
<p>He tried to blend humor and thrills but failed on both fronts. He starts the narration by introducing the protagonist's family as a different one by adding a hilarious touch. However nothing excites. None of the character arcs appeal to viewers as they just pass through the motions and most of the scenes miss logics and had artificial flavor.</p>
<p>The comedy of Sivaji, Laya and Roshan didnot workout as the scenes lacked the strengh and the role of Prince turned out to be silly. Director Sudheer Ram's story, screenplay and direction turned out to be weak and disappointinng. While the first half has routine elements, the second half fared no better as it had artificial elements and this tested the patience of the viewers. Preclimax and Climax turned out to be even more silly.</p>
<p>Cinematography of Ritwik Reddy is ok and BGM of Ranjin Raj is in sync with the narration. The editing of Balu Manoj failed completely. Production values are ok.</p>

<h2>Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani: Rating Analysis</h2>
<p>Altogether, Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani turns out to be spineless treat. Much was expected as it marked the return of Sivaji and Laya as the pair and the film was named after a hit song. However, the director Sudheer Ram came up with a weak story that missed everything. Many such stories came earlier and right from the start till the finish, the script is loaded with artificial elements and illogical scenes. Even on OTT this wouldn't have worked and the makers took a bold decision going for the theatrical release. The makers should have scrutinized the story and script and reworked on the writing before proceeding ahead with the project. Considering all these aspects, <strong>Cineosh goes with a 2 star rating for Sampradayani Suppini Suddapoosani</strong>.</p>

<h2>Mrithyunjay (2026) Movie: What's Behind</h2>
<p>Sree Vishnu who came to entertain movie lovers with the film Vishnu Vinyasam, this week is coming to thrill viewers with Mrithyunjay. The film directed by Sri Hussain Sha Kiran&nbsp; is releasing on 6 March 2026. Mrityunjay OTT rights have been acquired by Netflix. Let us see how the film thrilled movie lovers.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Mrithyunjay Telugu Movie: Story Review</h2>
<p>Mrithyunjay story revolves around a youngster who works in a daily and who aspires to be a crime reporter and the developments that follow his inquisitive and probing eyes.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Jay aka Mrithyunjay (Sree Vishnu), works in a daily and he gets ads for the obituaries with his skills but he aspires to become a crime reporter.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the midst of all this mysterious deaths make police department to depute ACP Seetha (Reba Monica John) to unravel them.&nbsp;</p>
<p>What is the connection to the obituaries and mysterious deaths , and how it is connected to Saadhu (Veer Aryan), what role his friend Anji (Sudarshan), Satti (Racha Ravi) played from the interesting part.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Sree Vishnu's Mrithyunjay: Artists Review</h2>
<p>Sree Vishnu played a completely different&nbsp; role in the film. He slipped into the role effortlessly and did justice to it. He showed good emotions while feeling the pain of a small girl, expressed accordingly when he was not given the crime reporter job and came up with intense expressions while trying to nab the criminal.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Reba Monica John played the role of the ACP.&nbsp; Her role is used just to take the story forward and she didn't get much scope to show her talent. She just passed through the motions.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Veer Aryan played well in the role of the antagonist. He came up with menacing expressions and carried the same through out the film with his body language.</p>
<p>Sudarshan and Racha Ravi are ok in their roles. Others like Ayyappa, Sijju, Aishwarya, Balaaditya, Krishna Koushik, Nandha Gopal, Mirchi Madhavi according to their roles.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Mrithyunjay Movie: Technicians Review</h2>
<p>Mrityunjay story is penned by Sri Hussain Sha Kiran who worked as the assistant director for Sukumar. He wrote a crime thriller to capture the imagination of all. The narration starts in a slow manner and with Sree Vishnu introduced in a different way, people will be wondering what the director is upto.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However once the mysterious deaths start happening screenplay is in place and the narration picks up pace. Following few cat and mouse games between the hero and the villain, the first half ends with interesting but predictable twist. The second half also continues in the similar manner and the film finally comes to an end bringing the much needed relief to the viewers.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The screenplay is even and uni dimensional for majority of the part. Director tried to come with an investigative thriller, but the so called investigation turns out to be farce. Police are shown as puppets and ACP as a dimwit. Even the race between hero and the villain to go after each other donot excite anyone.</p>
<p>People are witness to such scenes since the olden days and those who expected something new will be completely disappointed. Director missed many logics in the narration and most of the scenes looked silly and even school kids will be laughing instead of getting excited.</p>
<p>Vidya Sagar Chinta's cinematography showed the scenes in a realistic manner. He used the lighting to perfection to show the night scenes in an interesting way. He used the colour combinations accordingly to show the variations in scenes.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Kaala Bhairava with his background music elevated the scenes according to the narration. The editing of Sreekar Prasad is decent except for few repetitive scenes here and there. Production values of Light Box Media, Picture Perfect Entertainment are good.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Mrithyunjay - Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Sree Vishnu&nbsp;</li>
<li>BGM&nbsp;</li>
<li>Cinematography</li>
</ul>
<h2>Mrithyunjay - Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Predictable Elements</li>
<li>Illogical Scenes</li>
<li>Missing Highs</li>
</ul>
<h2>Mrithyunjay (2026) Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>
<p>Altogether, Mrithyunjay turns out to be a decent crime thriller. Sree Vishnu came up with a spirited performance and Sri Hussain Sha Kiran tried to thrill viewers with interesting twists. However except for couple of twists everything turned predictable. A little fine-tuning of the script and including few more thrilling elements would have added value to the final result. Considering all these aspects, <strong>Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Mrithyunjay</strong>.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>S. Saraswathi (2026) Movie: Story Review</h2>
<p>S.Saraswathi story revolves around a mother who goes in search of her missing daughter and the developments in the aftermath and how she deals with them. Lakshmi (Varalakshmi Sarathkumar) much to her shock finds her daughter Saraswathi missing when she goes to pick her from the school.</p>
<p>Where it leads to and what roles CI Krishna Reddy (Murli Sharma), Lakshmi's husband Aditya (Jeeva), her&nbsp; mother (Priyamani), Pediatric Surgeon Tulasi (Radhika Sarathkumar), Justice Uma Maheswar (Rao Ramesh), Lawyer Ramanunam (Prakash Raj), his assistant Swami (Saptagiri), advocate Srikanth (Srikanth Iyengar), Psychiatrist Antony D Souza (Nassar), Principal (Raghu Babu) played in the sensational developments that follow form the interesting part.</p>
<h2>S. Saraswathi (2026) Movie: Artists Review</h2>
<p>Varalakshmi Sarathkumar as usual came up with impactful performance. She showed the pain of the mother who is worried about her missing daughter. She expressed and emoted quite well on the screen and made a strong presence on the screen. She also did well as a caring nurse and also as a girl who falls in love. She tried to carry the film on her shoulders.</p>
<p>Prakash Raj as usual came up with subtle and powerful performance. He delivered dialogues in a hardhitting manner and with his screen presence elevated the scenes.Rao Ramesh is good in the role of a judge.&nbsp; Priyamani is fine in her role as the mother while Radhika Sarathkumar, Nassar and Jeeva played the powerful cameos taking the story forward. Others like Srikanth Iyengar, Mime Gopi, Hareesh Peradi, Raghu Babu, Getup Srinu, Venkat, Niveksha ,Pramila Rani performed according to their roles.</p>
<h2>S. Saraswathi Movie: Technicians Review</h2>
<p>S.Saraswathi story is penned by Varalakshmi Sarathkumar. Varalakshmi planned to touch the contemprary and the burning topic of atroticies on women and how justice is denied to them. She tried to add the medical disorder in order to add surprise element to the proceedings and the investigation process.</p>
<p>Initially at the start, this looked interesting but in her effort to thrill viewers taking them to the new heights, she overdid it and altogether in the end, it turned out to be a laughing stock. Except for the so called medical disorder, everything turned out to be routine and predictable. After the so called surprise elements, viewers can predict everything and this turned out to be the biggest backdrop.</p>
<p>While the story turned out to be routine and monotonous, even the narration and screenplay turned out to be repetitive making it a tedious watch to the viewers. The first half comes to an end with a predictable twist and when one expects a better second half, it turns out to be a disappointment.</p>
<p>With the surprise element coming out, Varalakshmi started beating around the bush and the preachy dialogues in the pre climax and climax didnot inspire any confidence. Finally, S.Saraswathi's good intentions got diluted due to Varalakshmi's over enthusiasm and the flat screenplay and direction.</p>
<p>Thaman's music and songs though situational acted as speedbrakers. His background music is in sync with the story. A.M. Edwin Sakay's cinematograhpy is good and showed the scenes in a realistic and believable manner.</p>
<p>Venkat Raajen's editing left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that turned out to be repetitive and slowed the pace of the narration.</p>
<p>Production values of Dosa Diaries are good.</p>
<h2>S. Saraswathi - Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Varalakshmi Sarathkumar</li>
<li>Prakash Raj&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h2>S. Saraswathi - Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Outdated Story</li>
<li>Slow Narration</li>
</ul>
<h2>S. Saraswathi (2026) Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>
<p>Altogether, S.Saraswathi movie turns out to be a preachy outdated drama. Varalakshmi Sarathkumar on debut as a director tried to highlight the problems faced by women and also come up with a powerful hardhitting message oriented film. However, outdated story, repetitive scenes, silly screenplay and serial type narration undid her intentions. Had she reworked on the writing and the script and added few fresh elements, things would have been different. Considering all these aspects, <strong>Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for S.Saraswathi</strong>.</p>

<h2>Son Of (2026) Telugu Movie: What's Behind</h2>
<p>Sai Simhadri as an actor and producer is coming to entertain movie lovers with a film titled Son Of. The film directed by Bathala Sateesh is releasing on 27 Feb 2026. The film's OTT rights are yet to be inked. Let us see what Son of, offered to movie lovers.</p>
<h2>Son Of (2026) Telugu Movie: Story Review</h2>
<p>Son Of story revolves around the estranged relationship between father and son and where it heads to. Anand ( Sai Simhadri) , son of Venkat Rao ( Vinod Kumar) turns out to be a failure in his life, and this changes the relationship between them. What happens when a beautiful girl (Meera Raj) enters his life. Where this leads to form the rest of the developments.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Son Of (2026) Movie: Artists Review</h2>
<p>Sai Simhadri played the lead role. He looked overaged for the lead role and also one gets a feeling he is not of a hero&nbsp; material. He however with his hardwork impresses in few scenes especially during the pre climax and climax scenes. He danced with ease and delivered dialogues accoring to the situation. He needs to hone his acting skills to reach the next level.</p>
<p>Vinod Kumar is good in the role of the father. He showed the pain of a father when a son goes wayward and makes no efforts to mend himself. His&nbsp; looks however donot appeal to all. Meera Raj who played the female lead performed according to the situation. She looked gorgeous in some scenes on the screen.</p>
<p>Inturi Vasu is fine in the role and others performed as per their roles.</p>
<h2>Son Of (2026) Movie: Technicians Review</h2>
<p>Son Of story is written by Bathala Satish. He tried to come up with a emotional youthful entertainer highlighting the father son relationship. Though the intention is right, many such films came earlier and the story offered nothing new. The narration starts on a predictable note and from then on the entire first half treads with routine and monotonous elements and few irritating stuff with over the top and silly dialogues from both the father and son. When the first half ends, viewers heave a sigh of relief , expecting a better second half.</p>
<p>The second half continues in the same vein with many illogical scenes. However couple of scenes in the run up to the pre climax and climax adds value and connect chords of some viewers. Finally the film ends in a predictable happy manner. Screenplay looked forced and the direction treaded in an aimless manner.</p>
<p>Amarnath's editing left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that looked out of sync and unnecessary to the proceedings. However, he couldn't be faulted as the story itself turned out to be weak. VRK Naidu's cinematography is as per the story and did justice to the scenes. The music is tuned by Rishi is turns out to be average. Songs at times acted a speedbrakers. The background score is ok. Dialogues are artificial and so too are most of the scenes. Production values are just average.</p>
<h2>Son Of (2026) Movie: Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Few Emotions</li>
</ul>
<h2>Son Of (2026) Movie: Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Weak Story</li>
<li>Over the top performances</li>
<li>Forced Scenes</li>
<li>Illogical Elements</li>
</ul>
<h2>Son Of (2026) Telugu Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>
<p>Altogether, Son Of turns out to be a patient tester. Sai Simhadri tested his luck as the lead actor as he himself turned out to be the main drawback. Director Bathala Satish tried to attract viewers highlighting the father son relationship. But the weak story, forced scenes, over the top dialogues and performances of the actors, ended up as a nightmare to the viewers. Considering all these aspects, <strong>Cinejosh goes with a 1 rating for Son Of</strong>.</p>

<h2>Vishnu Vinyasam (2026) Movie: What's Behind</h2>
<p>Sree Vishnu is known for his feel good hilarious entertainers. He is coming to entertain movie lovers with his film Vishnu Vinyasam. The film directed by newcomer Yadunaath Maruthi Rao is releasing on 27 Feb 2026. Vishnu Vinyasam OTT rights have been bagged by Amazon Prime and the streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. Let us findout how Sree Vishnu entertained movie lovers with Vishnu Vinyasam.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Vishnu Vinyasam (2026) Movie: Story Review</h2>
<p>Vishnu Vinyasam story revolves around a youngster and how his life changes when he comes across a beautiful girl and falls in love with her. Junior Lecturer Vishnu (Sree Vishnu) happens to meet HOD Manisha (Nayan Sarika) and instantly falls in love. When he decides to take his relationship forward, he gets shock of his life.</p>
<p>To findout more about it and where this leads to and how it impacted him and others form the interesting part.</p>
<h2>Vishnu Vinyasam (2026) Movie: Artists Review</h2>
<p>Sree Vishnu slipped into his role effortlessly. He managed to evoke few laughs with his comic timing. However due to his role he turned monotonous and routine and also went overboard with his performance as he tried to become more effortless and show his ease.</p>
<p>Nayan Sarika played the female lead in the film and looked gorgeous on the screen. She came up with a decent performance. Satya performed well and managed to generate few laughs with his antics. The role of Srikanth Iyengar looked artificial and to the top of it, his performed turned out to be over the top. Srinivas Reddy is ok in his role but his role assumed similarities to the roles of other actors in previous hit films.</p>
<p>Others like Brahmaji, Praveen, Murali Sharma, Satyam Rajesh, Goparaju Ramana in important roles.</p>
<h2>Vishnu Vinyasam (2026) Movie: Technicians Review</h2>
<p>Vishnu Vinyasam story is penned by newcomer Yadunaath Maruthi Rao. He tried to entertain viewers with a light hearted hilarious entertainer. He mainly concentrated on generating humour on the screen instead of concentrating on powerful story. He in the process emerged successful only to some extent. While in the first half, he generated little humour, he managed to double it in the second half.</p>
<p>Maruthi Rao, as he decided to entertain, roped in top comedians and emerged successful to an extent. But most of the time, he tried to highlight Sree Vishnu and underutilised other top comedians. He generated fun with Sree Vishnu and Satya but the same cannot be said about other actors.</p>
<p>The first half sails off smoothly with hilarious scenes and it comes to an end with a decent interval block. But in the second half, he loses the plot and he turned routine and monotonous with his comedy scenes and these turned repetitive. The final half an hour turned out to be routine and missed the strong emotional connect robbing the viewers of the high intense feeling. Everything fell flat and the climax was rushed and predictable.</p>
<p>The music of Radhan failed to make an impression. None of the songs are appealing and made an impact much to the disappointment of all. The songs infact turned out to be the biggest drawback. Sai Sriram's cinematography is good and turned the film colorful. The editing of&nbsp; Karthikeyan Rohini is just ok. Though the runtime is sleek, the editing left few repetitive scenes which impacted the overall output. Dialogues are ok and production values are good.</p>
<h2>Vishnu Vinyasam: Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Sree Vishnu</li>
<li>Few Comedy Scenes</li>
</ul>
<h2>Vishnu Vinyasam: Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Directionless Secondhalf</li>
<li>Artificial Humor</li>
<li>Missing Emotions</li>
</ul>
<h2>Vishnu Vinyasam (2026) Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>
<p>Altogether, Vishnu Vinyasam turns out to be a decent entertainer. Director Maruthi Rao came up with an out and out hilarious entertainer and got the optimum out of Sree Vishnu. He emerged successful in creating humour in the first half but lost plot in the second half. Had he finetuned the second half with strong emotions and more entertaining elements removing the routine and predictable elements, the final result would have been different. More involvement from the director, writer and also music director to give better output would have changed the things in a favourable manner. The artificial elements and lack of strong characters and underutilisation of comedians, impacted the film in a big way. Considering all these aspects, <strong>Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Vishnu Vinyasam</strong>.</p>

<h2>D/o Prasad Rao Kanabadutaledhu (2026) - What's Behind</h2>
<p>Rajeev Kanakala, Udaya Bhanu Vasanthika, Gayathri Bhargavi, and Bindhu Mouli's D/O Prasad Rao, a thriller series directed by Poluri Krishna is streaming on Zee 5 platform from 27 Feb 2026. Let us see what the six episode series offered to audience.</p>
<h2>D/o Prasad Rao Kanabadutaledhu Web Series: Story Review</h2>
<p>D/O Prasada Rao's story revolves around a father's desperate search for his missing daughter and the twists and turns involved in it. Prasad Rao (Rajeev Kanakala) who runs a grocery shop in Nellore, much against his wishes and upon persuation from his wife and brothers, sends his daughter Swathi (Vasanthika) to work in a software company in Hyderabad. However, he gets a shock of his life, when he finds his daughter's mobile switched off and loses contact of her. Where it leads to, what role CI Rebecca Joseph (Udaya Bhanu) played, what Prasad Rao finds out when he reaches Hyderbad and what happened to Swathi form the rest of the narration.</p>
<h2>D/o Prasad Rao Kanabadutaledhu Zee5 Series: Artists Review</h2>
<p>Rajeev Kanakala came up with a subtle performance and elevated the scenes with his performance. He showed variations with his expressions and body language according to the situation. He delivered dialogues showing emotions connecting chords with the viewers as a father who loves and is concerned about his daughter's well-being. He showed love towards his daughter, care and fear for her safety and also the pain when she goes missing.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Vasanthika is good in the role of a daughter. She is bubbly when she gets a job and convinces her family members and showed her fear when the situation turns against her.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Udaya Bhanu did the role of a tough cop quite well. She came up with serious expressions and delivered dialogues accordingly. Her body language as a cop is good.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Others like Swathi, Bhawani, Sujatha, Prasad Rao, Hima Bindu, Gayathri, Bhargavi, and Bindhu Mouli&nbsp; performed according to their roles.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>D/o Prasad Rao Kanabadutaledhu: Technicians Review</h2>
<p>D/O Prasad Rao story is penned by Poluri Krishna. He tried to thrill viewers with a story that has few surprises. However, he ended up coming with a simple story that turned out to be stale. He started the narration in an interesting manner and this increases the curiosity among viewers in the first few episodes. But from then on, everything turns routine and predictable as in their quest to come up with more twists and turns, they instead turned everything silly.</p>
<p>In his quest to come up with more twists, Poluri Krishna failed to come up with strong characters. This inturn impacted his writing leaving a void and the screenplay goes awry though it looks interesting from outside. With the passage of time, the characters turn preachy with the director unable to fathom how to take the story forward and bring it to a logical conclusion.</p>
<p>The cop is introduced as a tough person and has unique investigation techniques but the investigation scenes offer nothing new. They cop is just turned out to be a mere caricature taking orders from the higherups. Finally when the final episodes end, viewers heave a sigh of relief.</p>
<p>The editing of GV. Chandra Sekhar looks unpolished. There are many repetitive scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. He tried to be smart to turn it decent but overall came up with a haphazard output. Sriram gave the background score for the plot. Sriram in his quest to elevate the scenes, came up with a loud score instead of adding finess to the narration. This inturn turned everything into over the top when it is not required. The cinematography of K.Mahesh Kumar is in sync with the story. He didnot try anything extraordinary and did what was required for the story sticking to the basics. Production values are just ok.</p>
<h2>D/o Prasad Rao Kanabadutaledhu: Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Rajeev Kanakala, Udaya Bhanu</li>
<li>Few Twists</li>
</ul>
<h2>D/o Prasad Rao Kanabadutaledhu: Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Slow Narration</li>
<li>Stale Plot&nbsp;</li>
<li>Predictable Character Tropes</li>
</ul>
<h2>D/o Prasad Rao: Kanabadutaledhu - Rating Analysis</h2>
<p>Altogether, D/O Prasad Rao Kanbadutaledu promises a lot initially, only to falter in the end. Poluri Krishna tried to thrill viewers with a investigative thriller but he ended up coming with a stale and outdated story. To make matters worse he turned preachy instead of concentrating on the investigation. Had he stuck to the investigation procedures and came up with strong characters adding a tinge of mystery to each of them, rather than becoming preachy and trying to give a message to the society, things would have been different. Considering all these elements, <strong>Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for D/o Prasad Rao Kanabdutaledu</strong>.</p>

<h2>Bookie aka Pookie (2026) Movie: What's Behind</h2>
<p>Vijay Antony, Manchu Lakshmi's Tamil film Pookie is releasing in Telugu as Bookie. The film is helmed by Ganesh Chandra. The film's OTT rights are yet to be finalised. Let us see what Bookie offered to movie lovers.</p>
<h2>Bookie (2026) Movie: Story Review</h2>
<p>Bookie story revolves around a young couple who witness turbulence in their relationship and how they deal with them. Kailash (Ajay Dishan) and Aazhi (Dhanusha) suddenly experience their relationship hit the rock after few years and this lands them in a situation as to whether to continue with the relation or move forward parting ways.</p>
<p>How they react and what decision they take and what role Kailash's father (Pandiarajan) and others played form rest of the narration.</p>
<h2>Bookie (2026) Movie: Artists Review</h2>
<p>Ajay Dishan came up with a natural and realistic performance. He emoted and expressed well delivering dialogues with ease and giving a relatable feeling to the viewers. Dhanusha performed well as per the situation and did justice to her role. However at times, her role looked exaggerated due to the chracterisation.</p>
<p>Parthiban did full justice to the role of the lead actor's father. Others performed according to their roles.</p>
<h2>Bookie (2026) Movie: Technicians Review</h2>
<p>Bookie story is penned by Puthiya Parthi and is helmed by Ganesh Chandra. He tried to entertain youngsters with a Gen Z story and used many Gen Z lingos to connect chords with them. But in the process he failed to realise that one cannot differentiate between Romance categorising it into Gen Z or Older generation.</p>
<p>He tried to highlight the purity in love in the older genderation compared to that of immoral values of gen z relationships but sperations and parting of ways have been prevalent in the society since longtime. The screenplay is linear and treads in a predictable fashion and in the end however failed to justify the reunison of the leadpair.</p>
<p>The film lacked the emotions and everything turns artificial as the director stayed away from the ground reality. He spent the entire first half on how the lead pair deal with the breakup and here he tried to impresses Gen Z with jargons like binge watching, stress shopping and stress eating. But he failed to live in the reality. Both the lead pair characters turned out to be artificial bereft of any emotions. Much to the disappointment of all, the so called interval bang fell flat.</p>
<p>He passed most of the time and the second half with flashbacks. Instead of increasing the interest levels, these turned out to be patient testers. Ganesh Chandra's writing turned out to be lazy and he thought it was casual and interesting. Sadly, he failed to understand the meaning and thought process of Gen Z and he confined himself to use it as jargons.</p>
<p>The music for the film is tuned by Vijay Antony. Though songs didnot make much impact, he added value to the narration with his background music. Ganesh Chandra himself handled the cinematography and he captured the visuals in an appealing and beautiful manner. The editing of Vijay Antony could have been far better as there are scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are ok. Production values are fine.</p>
<h2>Bookie Movie: Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Performances</li>
<li>BGM</li>
</ul>
<h2>Bookie Movie: Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Artificial Elements</li>
<li>Missing Emotions</li>
</ul>
<h2>Bookie aka Pookie (2026) Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>
<p>Altogether, Bookie turns out to be soulless Gen Z love story. Ganesh Chandra tried to attract movie lovers with a relatable love story of the current generation, but much to the disappointment of all everything turns artificial and lacked the emotions and soul that is vital for any romantic entertainer. His story telling lacked the creativity and novelty for all the talk of genx jargons. His screenplay and direction failed to inspire confidence. Considering all these aspects, <strong>Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Bookie aka Pookie</strong>.</p>

<h2>Hey Balwanth (2026) Movie: What's Behind</h2>
<p>Suhas created a niche for himself doing different entertainers and different roles and he is coming to entertain movie lovers with the film titled Hey Balwanth. The film caught the attention of all when it was first titled Hey Bhagavan and then was forced to change to Hey Balwanth due to Censor Board objections. The film directed by Gopi Atchara is releasing on 20 Feb 2026. Let us see what Suas offered to movie lovers as Hey Balwanth. Hey Balwanth OTT rights have been bagged by Zee 5 for a fancy sum and streaming will be after the completion of the theatrical run.</p>
<h2>Hey Balwanth (2026) Movie: Story Review</h2>
<p>Hey Balwanth story revolves around a youngster who aspires to takeover his father's business and power it to new heights and where his quest leads to form the interesting part. Krishna (Suhas) since childhood dreams of taking over his father Balwanth (Sr Naresh) business.</p>
<p>But Balwanth opposes it and asks him to prove himself before he takesover. He comes into contact with Mithra (Shivani Nagaram), of Mithra Foundation. Love blossms between them and as things would have it, time comes to takeover his father's business. However, he gets a shock of his life. To findout more about it, and what roles Krishna's grandmother (Annapurna),his friend Baka (Sudarshan), Sitting MLA Durga Rao (Ajay Ghosh), his son (Vennela Kishore), rival politician and aspiring ticket contestant PVP (Harshavardhan), his father (Kota Srinivasa Rao) played should be watched on the screen.</p>
<h2>Hey Balwanth (2026) Movie: Artists Review</h2>
<p>Suhas asusual did justice to his role. The role is tailormade for him and it has the blend of romance, youthful exuberance, humour and emotions associated with it. He worked hard to make an impact and made a decent impression. However at times, it looked as though he is just passing through the motions.</p>
<p>Shivani Nagaram looked decent on the screen. She performed well according to her role. She didnot get much scope to showcase her acting talent and variations in it but carried the little hearts vibes into the film. She impressed with his dialogue delivery.</p>
<p>Sr Naresh turned out to be the show stopper. In the first half his role is just confined to take the story forward and he did it in a subtle manner but in the second half he with his mannerisms and antics entertained all. To the top of it, he impressed all with his emotions bringing in all his experience.</p>
<p>Sudarshan in the role of friend, generated a few laughs along with Suhas and Shivani Nagaram. He elevated the scenes with his screenpresence. Vennela Kishore is ok in his role but at times he turned irritating. Annapurna is good on the screen and Ajay Ghosh did his role accordingly. Harshavardhan made his presence felt. Babu Mohan played a cameo. Others performed according to their roles.</p>
<h2>Hey Balwanth (2026) Movie: Technicians Review</h2>
<p>Hey Balwanth story is Gopi Atchara. He tried to entertain movielovers touching a pertinent and burning point. The first half sails off smoothly with the blend of youthful elements, romance and hilarious scenes. The first half comes with a decent but predictable twist setting the stage for the second half.</p>
<p>The second half continues in the same manner and in the runup to the pre climax and climax, he included father son sentiment scenes. However for all his efforts he failed to blend both entertainment and emotions in a perfect manner and this impacted the film's overall output.</p>
<p>Seeing the film, one understands why Censor Board asked the makers to change the film's title from Hey Bhagawan to Hey Balwanth. The story penned by Gopi Atchara offered nothing new and he came up with a mix of previous hits from various languages. At times the so called entertaining and emotional scenes looked illogical.</p>
<p>Mahi Reddy Pandugula's cinematography is in sync with the story. He showed the scenes in a natural and at the same time colorful as and when required. Viplav Nyshadham's editing is ok but could have been better as there are few repetitive elements that dragged the pace of the narration. The music of Vivek Sagar is ok. The songs looked forced and one could have done away with them as they didnot add much value to the proceedings. His background score is as per the story. Dialogues are hilarious and at times emotional. But many are loaded with double meaning. Production values are decent.</p>
<h2>Hey Balwanth Movie: Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Suhas, Naresh</li>
<li>Few Hilarious Scenes</li>
<li>Emotional Connectivity</li>
<li>Short Run Time (2hr 4 mins)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Hey Balwanth Movie: Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Illogical Scenes</li>
<li>Repetitions</li>
</ul>
<h2>Hey Balwanth (2026) Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>
<p>Altogether, Hey Balwanth turns out to be a good entertainer. Gopi Atchara on debut tried to entertain viewers and also blend few emotions highlighting the father-son bonding. Though the idea looks good, the story turned predictable, lacked novelty and screenplay is confined only to entertain viewers rather than a gripping narration. He tried to connect the emotional chords of the viewers in the second half, but few scenes are artificial and illogical. This diverse story that is compelling could have been worth a little more work on the script. Considering all these aspects, <strong>Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Hey Balwanth</strong>.</p>

<h2>Seetha Payanam (2026) What's Behind</h2>
<p>Karate King Arjun's daughter Aishwarya Arjun is making her debut with Seetha Payanam in Telugu. The film marks Arjunn's return to the direction. The film is releasing as Valentine&rsquo;s Day special on 14 Feb 2026. Let us see what impact Seetha Payanam made on movie lovers.</p>
<h2>Seetha Payanam (2026) Story Review</h2>
<p>Seetha Payanam story revolves around the happenings in the life of a young girl and how she deals with them. Seetha (Aishwarya Arjun), daughter of Prasad (Sathyaraj), decides to go to Hyderabad from Visakhapatnam to attend the event organised by a popular chief.</p>
<p>As she was about to enter the venue, she gets a shock of her life. As she was saved from its impact with few seconds delay, she decides to thank all those who was responsible for that during her journey.</p>
<p>Where this leads to and what role Abhishek (Niranjan), his grandfather Anjaneyulu (Prakash Raj), Giri (Arjun), Basavanna (Dhruv Sarja), Tiffin centre owner (Kovai Sarala) and others form the rest of the narration.</p>
<h2>Seetha Payanam (2026) Artists Review</h2>
<p>Aishwarya Arjun on debut came up with an impressive performance. She attracted with her screen presence and expressed and emoted well through her eyes. However in close shots she looked aged.</p>
<p>Niranjan, who is also making his debut, came up with a decent performance. He delivered dialogues with ease and emoted according to the situation. He did well especially during the climax.</p>
<p>Satyaraj in the role of father came up with subtle performance. He with his emotions and expressions, highlighted the fear of the father and at the same time his concern for his daughter. He elevated the scenes with his performance. Prakash Raj also came up with an impressive performance in the role tailor-made for him. Kovai Sarala also impresses with her screen presence.</p>
<p>Others like Siri Hanumanth, Rajkumar, Naga Mahesh, Manichandana, Sahastra and Bithiri Sathi performed according to their roles.</p>
<p>Arjun played a powerful cameo and is good with his antics and mannerism, His nephew Dhruv Sarja also appeared in a cameo and he is ok.</p>
<h2>Seetha Payanam (2026) Technicians Review</h2>
<p>Seetha Payanam story is penned by Arjun. Even earlier he directed few films but all those are action entertainers. This time to launch his daughter Aishwarya, he chose a love story. It is known that Arjun launched the film with Vishwak Sen in the lead and Pawann Kalyan graced the launch as a special guest. However, Vishwak Sen opted out of the project and Arjun roped in Sandalwood star Upendra's nephew Niranjan in the lead role. Coincidentally both Vishwak Sen's Funky and Arjun's Seetha Payanam released on the same date.</p>
<p>Seetha Payanam story is nothing new but Arjun tried to highlight the love, marriage, family bonding and other relationships that play key role. To the top of it, he also touched upon the cow protection. For all his efforts he became preachy most of the times. He starts the narration in a routine and simple manner before the road trip which increases curiosity levels. The developments later makes viewers to sit up and watch.</p>
<p>But from the moment heroine decides to thank everyone, the pace dips down considerably and the routine and preachy scenes ends up testing the patience of the viewers. Here Arjun deviated from the main topic and went on to touch topics like cow protection etc. Only during the climax, once again the family emotions connect chords with the viewers.</p>
<p>Anup Rubens came up with foot tapping and melodious tunes. The songs are situational and shot in colourful backdrop. Cinematography of G.Balamurugan beautified the scenes turning the scenes colourful. He captured the scenic locations in a visually appealing manner. Ayoob Khan's editing left a lot to be desired. There are many repetitive scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are good. Production values are fine.</p>
<h2>Seetha Payanam (2026) Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Lead Pair Performances</li>
<li>Cinematography</li>
<li>BGM</li>
</ul>
<h2>Seetha Payanam (2026) Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Routine Story</li>
<li>Predictable and Preachy Elements</li>
<li>Slow Narration</li>
</ul>
<h2>Seetha Payanam (2026) Rating Analysis</h2>
<p>Altogether Seetha Payanam highlights the importance of relationships. Arjun Sarja came up with a decent story but the routine and preachy elements and slow pace in narration and deviations in the second half marred the film's final result. Had he reworked on the screenplay and script and included interesting elements, things would have been different. Considering all these aspects,<strong> Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Seetha Payanam.</strong></p>

Seetha Payanam Review

<h2>Couple Friendly (2026) What's Behind</h2>
<p>Santosh Sobhan created a niche for himself doing different genre entertainers and he is now coming up with Couple Friendly. The film directed by Ashwin Chandrasekhar is releasing on 14 Feb 2026 as Valentine&rsquo;s Day special. Let us find out how Couple Friendly entertained movie lovers.</p>
<h2>Couple Friendly (2026) Story Review</h2>
<p>Couple Friendly story revolves around young couple who aspires to realise their dreams staying away from their parents and how they deal with the happenings in their lives.</p>
<p>Shiva ( Santosh Sobhan), comes out of his house in Nellore to Chennai unable to bear the curses of his father ( Goparaju Ramana) to pursue his dream of becoming an interior designer.</p>
<p>Even as he struggles to meet both ends, he happens to meet an aspiring software engineer. Mithra ( Manasa Varanasi), who comes from Chittoor</p>
<p>Where this leads to and what role Mithra's father ( Rajeev Kanakala) and others played form the rest of the narration.</p>
<h2>Couple Friendly (2026) Artists Review</h2>
<p>Santosh Sobhan performed well in a natural and realistic manner. The role is tailor-made for him and he shone in it with effortless ease. He played similar roles earlier and so it offered nothing new for him. He however went overboard in the romantic and intimate scenes. He showed the pain and grief of an unemployed youth and also showed variations in the role of a younger on love and as a person who goes all out for his lover to see her happy all the time and give her the best and memorable moments.</p>
<p>Manasa Varanasi impresses with her performance as a young girl who has her own dreams much against with wishes of her parents and how she goes out to realise them. She showed youthful exuberance and also came up with good emotions and expressions.</p>
<p>Both of them delivered dialogues and emoted well according to the situation showing variations and elevating the scenes.</p>
<p>Goparaju Ramana performed well in the role of the hero's father. Rajeev Kanakala made his presence as heroine's father. He showed variations accordingly to the situation and with his body language and screen presence elevated the scenes. His performance just with emotional expressions in his eyes and hug in the pre climax touches hearts.</p>
<p>Yogi Babu is good in the role of hero's friend. Others performed according to their roles.</p>
<h2>Couple Friendly (2026) Technicians Review</h2>
<p>Couple Friendly story is penned by Ashwin Chandrasekar. He came up with a romantic entertainer to captivate all on the Valentine&rsquo;s Day. The entire first half progresses with the introduction of the lead pair and their family problems and how they fall in love and the startling happenings in their romantic journey.</p>
<p>Everything looks convenient and the narration and screenplay passes smoothly in a uni dimensional manner with few romantic and hilarious elements before things get serious thus bringing an end to the first half.</p>
<p>The second half takes a serious note and emotions are highlighted to the core, However this dragged the pace of the narration. The pre climax and climax though different in the current context however is stretched to a point.</p>
<p>Though one gets a feeling that everything is predictable in this so called love story, few emotional scenes pierce the hearts.</p>
<p>Aditya Ravindran's background music added soul to the narration and it took viewers into the story. Songs are melodious and situational. The cinematography of Dinesh Purushottaman showed Chennai city in a beautiful manner. The Gorilla shoot in Chennai locations gave a new feel and beautified the scenes on the screen.</p>
<p>Ganesh Siva's editing is ok but could have been better in the second half. Few dialogues are good and thought provoking. Production values are good.</p>
<h2>Couple Friendly (2026) Advantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Performances</li>
<li>BGM</li>
<li>Cinematography</li>
</ul>
<h2>Couple Friendly (2026) Disadvantages</h2>
<ul>
<li>Predictable Elements</li>
<li>Show Pace</li>
</ul>
<h2>Couple Friendly (2026) Rating Analysis</h2>
<p>Altogether Couple Friendly is an emotional romantic story. Director Ashwin Chandrasekhar got decent story and got the optimum performances from the cast and crew. With few powerful emotions, he managed to keep viewers glued to the screen.</p>
<p>Genex youngsters will get connected to the story. The first half looks predictable and routine, the second half takes a serious note and emotions are highlighted to the core. A little fine-tuning of the story and script would have added value to the final output.</p>
<p>Ashwin Chandrasekhar took an old point and tried to add novel touch but emerged only partially successful. Considering all these aspects, <strong>Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Couple Friendly.</strong></p>
