The film is helmed by Buchi Babu Sana and Janhvi Kapoor is the female lead.Shruti Haasan is sizzling in a special song while the film stars Jagapati Babu, Shiva Rajkumar and Divyendu Sharma in important roles. Oscar winner Rahman is the music director for the film.It is known that Ram Charan transformed his physique for three different roles as a cricketer, wrestler and as a kabaddi player. Talking about it, Ram Charan said“For the torture you put me through to achieve all those body types… first, you asked for a cricketer’s physique and then a wrestler’s physique. They are both extremely different. A cricketer is lean, like Tilak Varma or Hardik Pandya. You wanted that kind of body. Then, after a few days, he needed a bulkier body to play kabaddi. Then you told me to get a wrestler’s body.”He continued, “I am telling you from the bottom of my heart, I genuinely enjoyed the process. They say you don’t feel the fatigue when you do the work you love. That is exactly how I felt.”Ram Charan then revealed &nbsp;“Now that the shoot is over, pains are surfacing from everywhere,” he confessed. Elaborating further, he added, “Even lifting my daughter hurts this hand. I need to get an X-ray. Constant grabbing during wrestling caused tremors. It did something to this hand.”He shared &nbsp;“In every film I have acted in, I have had accidents. I broke my leg during RRR. Something happened during Rangasthalam. I cut my lip during the shoot of Game Changer. But for Peddi, not a single day of shooting was stopped. It is truly God’s grace.”

&nbsp;Prashanth Neel on NTR look in Dragon. The Dragon glimpse released on NTR's birthday couple of days ago, got tremendous response from all quarters.The film is releasing in two parts and Rukmini Vasanth is playing the female lead. Now, Prashanth Neel speaking to scribes shared why NTR looked pale in some scenes.He said , “I told him that if you became thinner for the role of the assassin, it would help.” and added “He didn’t shoot for the next four months, and he lost about 15 kgs at one point of time. I asked him to stop many times in between because he started looking frail and became paler but he didn’t stop,”He shared &nbsp;“His wife was upset with me, his mother was upset with me, all his friends were upset with me. Everybody who knew him was upset with me. My whole team was upset with me, but I told them that was not my doing. I just told him to lose a little bit of weight, and he went berserk with it,”Talking about how NTR came on board, he said "Five years ago we met and when I told him the line of the movie… I am not going to be presumptuous of the fact that I want to be humble all the time, but I think this is probably one of the most difficult decisions that he had to take to play this character. Not because of what is there in the trailer, but what the drama of the movie is. It was one of the biggest decisions that he has to take to play this particular role."He continued “By the end of this film, everyone will know why I am saying this. It is a dark character. It is probably more darker than any character, not probably, it is the darkest character I have written. For him to play something like that, and the only question he asked was for every character being right or wrong, is the drama right for it? Is there a reason for it? It took us 3 years to come up with that reasoning, to arrive at that point to validate why that character does what he does. At the end, he said let us do it. It is very risky for a star of his magnitude. For someone who is loved all over the country. What he is doing is absolutely brave.”

&nbsp;Kamal Haasan bats for Energy Conservation. The West Asia war impacted the economies across the world and India isn't immune to it. Following this, PM Modi spoke about energy conservation and also proposed austerity measures.Now, Kamal Haasan also shared his thoughts on it. In a video He said “Today, I speak to you as an Indian deeply concerned by the impact of the Iran war. Oil prices are rising, sea trade routes are blocked, the energy that powers our kitchen and homes, fertilises and nourishes our fields and crops, fuel that drives our industries and vehicles, all have gotten more expensive. In response, more than 60 countries have already imposed energy-saving rules. We recently heard Singapore’s Prime Minister asking his people to prepare for tough times ahead. We are a much larger country.” He continued . “In moments like this, national responsibility must rise above party politics. As Mr Vajpayee ji famously said, governments will come and go, but the nation shall remain. During the 1962 China war, we donated gold from our homes to support our soldiers fighting at the border. In 1965, when India did not have enough food grains, Lal Bahadur Shastri ji asked citizens to skip one meal a week for the whole nation,” he said, adding, “Today, India does not need such sacrifice. Surely, we must do this for our country when our parents did much more.”He added "Remember, every unit of energy saved today strengthens India tomorrow. And every drop of oil saved protects the poorest Indian from inflation. Geopolitics will affect the pedestrians on the street as much as the high-flying rich. But if we face this crisis together, India will and can emerge stronger. Jai Hind.”&nbsp;

&nbsp;On comparisons between Rajamouli and Prashanth Neel. Rajamouli attained international acclaim with films like Baahubali and RRR and earlier he made an impact with films like Magadheera and Eega. &nbsp;In the meantime, Prashanth Neel made a stunning impact with films like KGF and Salaar.Currently, Rajamouli is busy with Mahesh Babu's Varanasi and Prashanth Neel is busy with NTR's Dragon. In the midst of all this, comparisons started between Rajamouli and Prashanth Neel. Following this, MS. Raju came up with this analogy.He said “I don't subscribe to the suggestion of someone replacing someone because every director has his own stature and credibility. Rajamouli has an enviable body of work which no one could achieve,” M.S. Raju said. At the same time, he acknowledged Prashanth Neel’s growing popularity after the buzz around Dragon. “He is a passionate filmmaker who understands how to make pan-India films with stars who have a huge following. Even calling someone a Telugu or Kannada director has become obsolete.”Kona Venkat said "Attempts to pull down Rajamouli unfair and emphasized that Rajamouli continues to set benchmarks for filmmakers across industries." &nbsp;

Even as Rahul (Shiva Kumar), her collegemate, also a drug peddler tries to woo her, her relative from US, Revanth (Bhoopal Raju) lands in Hyderabad to marry her. Aadya however, goes desperately in search of her soulmate and on the advice of her friend Janhvi (Gayatri Gupta) takes a shocking decison and in the process happen to meet Aadi (Akhil Sarthak). here this leads to what role her grandmother (Annapurna), journalist (Mime Gopi) , Naval Officer (Ajay Ratnam) and what role (Saurabh Dhingra) play, and the connection to the futuristic world form the rest of the narration.First Time (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewMost of the actors are newcomers and they worked hard to make an impression. Saurabh Dhingra made his debut with his debut and he is ok. Anicka Vikramann tried her best to attract with her emotions. Mime Gopi is good in a small role as a journalist. The new comers have a long way to go to make it to the next level and they should hone their skills before dreaming big.Others like Shiva, Bhuoopal Raju, Gayatri Gupta, Annapurnamma, Ajay Ratnam, Dhee Pandu are ok in their roles.First Time (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewFirst Time story is written by Hemanth Ippalapalli. He tried to come up with an interesting story in the backdrop of futuristic world and sci fi elements. While the idea is good, he failed to execute it in a perfect manner on the screen. He lacked clarity of thought and the scenes and screenplay ends up confusing viewers.The slow pace in the narration, repetitive scenes irritates viewers to the core. People are left to wonder about the usage of CGI and VFX and this resulted as the story lacked strong human emotions. The actors are just seen passing through the motions with artificial feel.Except for the so called sci fi elements, futuristic world, VFX and CGI, the film's story turned out to be monotonous, routine and outdated.Sri Venkat &amp; Sooraj S Kurup's music and background score is just ok. Cinematography of Venu Muralidhar &amp; Ram turned the film rich with attractive visuals. The editing of Hemanth Ippalapalli left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that dragged the narration testing the patience of the viewers. VFX and CGI are good. Production values are decent.First Time Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e1f169e755f387f5bcb0b0591c0c0392e">Good Idea</li></ul>First Time Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e4a2ffeb3d8bbf817f547e7f89d00684f">Execution</li></ul>First Time (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, First Time turns out to be an illogical, senseless and mindless film. Hemanth Ippalapalli instead of concentrating on coming up with the strong story, tried to impresses viewers with extensive usage of CGI, VFX and futuristic world that looked completely out of sync. The story turned out to be weak with many loopholes and following this screenplay and direction went for a toss. No amount of rework on the script would have changed the output or the final result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1 rating for First Time.

Though at times he came up with stone faced expressions, he made his presence felt as a innocent lover boy and also as a caring husband and also showed the emotional side delivering dialogues aptly.Vennela Kishore and Kasi Reddy created humour with their antics. Same can be said about Sapthagiri and VTV.Ganesh. Rayancha Kokkura looked good on screen and she performed well in the role of a woman who donot tolerate lies. French Girl Gabi Rock is ok in the all important role.Anaira Gupta oozed with glamor in a song while Vishka and Hasini Sudhir played their parts to perfection. Others like Rajiv Kanakala performed according to their roles.Purushaha (2026) Movie: Technical ReviewPurushaha story is readied by Veeru Vulavala. Many films came earlier with similar concept and Veeru Vulavala tried to generate humour and entertain movie lovers with this story highlighting the frustration of the husbands. The entire first half is loaded with the fights between husband and wife and the happenings between the friends and court scenes. All those things are routine and few hilarious scenes are just ok though they are nothing new.The first half ends with the revelation of the secrets of the protagonists and the entire second half is all about them proving their innocence. The director failed to connect the emotional chords and failed to establish how a small incidents lead to divorce. Few emotions are ok but the super heroes fights looked silly and didnot workout. He tried to load the second half with intense emotions but failed to do full justice to them.He ended few roles abruptly and didnot justify few characters in the film. Climax twist is decent &nbsp;to some extent.Satish Muthyala's cinematography is good. Shrawan Bharadwaj's music is just ok and so is the background music. Editing of Koti left a lot to be desired. There are many unnecessary scenes that impacted the final output. Dialogues are just ok and production values are good.Purushaha Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ef3dbdedb15ddc649dc158828a3ab81b4">Connecting Concept</li><li data-list-item-id="ee4ab81f605c910a56cc8f2507a0966f9">Few Scenes</li></ul>Purushaha Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e8cb58bd75d4c377071f4c6c79a5658c7">Routine Template</li><li data-list-item-id="efa4a67fcccfb2b65c1faabaf0f49f0d7">Outdated Humor</li></ul>Purushaha (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Purushaha turns out to be predictable, frustrated husbands story. Debutante Pavan Kumar worked hard and it is visible on the screen and Sapthagiri, Vennela Kishore, Rajkumar Kasireddy and others did their parts accordingly. But the lack of novelty in the story and the predictable screenplay by the director Veeru Vulavala and silly scenes undid all the good intentions. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Purushaha.

Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Ramani Kalyanam.&nbsp;

When they joined together for Drishyam 3, expectations increased. Drishyam 3 OTT rights have been acquired for a fancy sum by Amazon Prime. Now, Drishyam 3 is racing for a grand release on 21 May 2026. Let us see what more thrills Drishyam 3 offered to movie lovers.Drishyam 3 (2026) Movie: Story ReviewDrishyam 3 story revolves around a simple family man whose haunted by the cops following the happenings when he tries to save his family from trouble. How he deals with the clear and present danger form rest of the developments.George Kutty (Mohanlal) takes a unique decision to foolproof and secure his family from getting haunted and hunted by the cops who keeps on investigating Varun murder case even after decades without closing it. What is the unique decison, and how it impacts the lives of his wife Rani George (Meena),his daughters Anju George (Ansiba Hassan), Anu George (Esther Anil), Varun's mother Geetha Prabhakar (Asha Sharath), father Prabhakar (Siddique), IG Thomas Bastin (Murali Gopy), Dy SP Philip Matthew (KB.Ganesh Kumar) and others form the interesting developmentsDrishyam 3 (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewMohanlal as usual came up with natural and realistic performance. He showed the right kind of expressions and emotions according to the situation and made viewers travel along with him and tried to carry the film on his shoulders. However, his character arc is not developed properly.Meena as usual showed good emotions but they turned out to be routine and predictable. Asha Sharath is good in the role of Varun's mother. Others like Asha Sharath, Murali Gopy, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil performed according to their roles.Drishyam 3 (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDrishyam 3 is penned by Jeethu Joseph. He continues from where he left in Drishyam 2 and the narration progresses in the same vein. He starts the narration in an interesting manner increasing the curiosity levels highlighting the fears of the protagonist in the wake of the recent developments which got him unwanted media attention.He also showed the emotional situation and trauma of the female cop who experiences shock of her son's death and how to deal ith them. He slowly corelates both the incidents and developments and showed the media trail and social media impact on the protagonist's family. He concentrated on the happenings in Varun's life and tried to surprise viewers.Though Jeethu Joseph tried to highlight the emotional complications and implications and also worked hard to maintain the thrill factor, viewers who watched the first two parts, feel everything is stretched and they could easily guess the next scenes and proceedings. They feel that Jeethu Joseph stretched the narration and the so called thrill factor to a point of no return. The slow pace in the first half tests the patience of the viewers. It is only during the runup to the interval block some sense of urgency is shown and few scenes increase the thrill factor.People expect a more interesting and intriguing second half. However the familiarity of the behavior of the characters robbed viewers of the novel feeling. Everything turns predictable be it the investigation sequences, emotional scenes and the pattern in unraveling the suspense. To the top of it, when viewers expect a shocking climax, the simple climax turns out to be a major disappointment. The way protagonist comes with silly ideas turns out to be a huge disappointment. The Telugu dubbing turned out to be the worst.The editing of Vinayak VS could have been far better. There are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. The cinematography of Satheesh Kurup is in sync with the story. He used the camera angles and color combinations to give realistic and natural feel to the proceedings.The music of Anil Johnson is ok and his background score elevated the scenes. Dialogues are fine and production values are good.Drishyam 3 : Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec1938436b03b12ca3a6acd1dab5e3342">Mohanlal</li><li data-list-item-id="e8de53a5ef548d102431323e40375f882">Few Twists</li></ul>Drishyam 3 : Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e56853b4e433a1cc77ef205b18707b2c0">Missing Conflict</li><li data-list-item-id="ed6d3d50204041f3d963054cf058f00ee">Worst Dubbing</li><li data-list-item-id="eeccbece86be327f73178810e2ad2f71d">Bereft of Twists and Turns</li><li data-list-item-id="e5e27de6e869028d23b9a6f26413356c8">Climax</li></ul>Drishyam 3 (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Drishyam 3 turns out to be a predictable thriller and offered nothing new. The fault lies with the director Jeethu Joseph and the makers for trying to cash in to the craze of the Drishyam franchise. They offered nothing new when it came to the investigation, thrill factor and emotions. The story didnot excite and the screenplay and direction followed the familiar pattern robbing the viewers of the novel expereince. Obviously Drishyam 3 turns out to be the weakest among all the Drishyam franchises. No amount of rework on the script would have changed the outcome. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Drishyam 3.

He makes an impact as the village God and is good as a lawyer. He showed good variations in mannerisms, looks and body language. He showed different expressions accordingly. He enacted action sequences with utmost ease.Trisha got an important role. She is ok with her looks. At times she got prominence and suddenly she gets confined to the second fiddle before taking the centre stage.RJ. Balaji performed well as the crooked lawyer. His scenes with Suriya excites all.

Others like Natty, Swasika, Sshivadha, Anagha Maya Ravi, Supreeth Reddy performed according to their roles.Veerabhadrudu aka Karuppu Movie: Technicians ReviewVeerabhadrudu story is written by RJ. Balaji. He tried to entertain viewers by adding spiritual elements to a routine action entertainer with a message. For most of the first half, he spent time introducing various characters, establishing their problems and the proceedings in the court and elevate their emotions before introducing Suriya in an interesting and exciting manner. The slow pace tend to put off viewers as the scenes are predictable till the entry of Suriya.The narration picks up pace with the entry of Suriya and the spiritual elements generated curiosity. The conflict attracts all and though the interval block is routine, the first half ends on a decent note. When one expects a better second half, the narration turns cliched and screenplay goes for a toss. The comedy scenes looked outdated and dragged the narration to the next level.The pre climax is good but inspired by films like Kantara and Pushpa but lacked the strong emotions associated with them. RJ.Balaji followed the similar template in Veerabhadrudu which he did in Nayanthara's Mookuthi Amman except for few variations.The songs tuned by Sai Abhyankar had Tamil flavor. It is difficult to connect cords. His background score at times is good but at other times it turned out to be extremely loud. Kalaivanan's editing is ok but could have been far better. There are many scenes with tamil flavor and also repetitive scenes put off viewers. The cinematography of GK.Vishnnu is good. He showed the action sequences in an exciting way.Veerabhadrudu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ef0c3b979af8af3b33237e64a5eda3ac4">Suriya</li><li data-list-item-id="e00fd1b78977d2c1b6b45068cea5785cd">First Half</li><li data-list-item-id="e9a31681e1e2115e18cad747b7c42bae1">Few Emotions</li></ul>Veerabhadrudu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e351af48354cd09ac75b07cde4f5dae12">Frail Villian</li><li data-list-item-id="e7d98612fa657386d1df1a5cd4bac0cd9">Ordinary Dialogues</li><li data-list-item-id="eddbd29e7077c264cb807fee678513585">Incoherent Narration</li></ul>Veerabhadrudu (Karuppu) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Veerabhhadrudu turns out to be a routine fictional actioner. Suriya as usual came up with impressive performance. However, RJ. Balaji, who came up with a decent first half despite the routine flavor and predictable elements, failed completely in the second half. Little finetuning of the script would have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Veerabhadrudu.&nbsp;

He emoted well and made his presence felt with his body language and mannerisms. He looked good on the screen and enacted intense action sequences with ease.Sanjay Dutt looked menacing on the screen. He with his persona elevated the scenes. However his role is wasted as his character arc is not developed properly. Ramesh Arvind made his presence felt as he got a role of substance.Shilpa Shetty, V. Ravichandran, Reeshma Nanaiah, Jisshu Sengupta performed their accordingly as they didnot get any scope to showcase their acting talent. Nora Fatehi sizzled in a special song. Sudeepa made his presence felt in a cameo.KD: The Devil (2026) Movie - Technicians ReviewKD-The Devil story is penned by Prem. Right from the start the story is eccentric to the core. When he entered the industry his story telling turned out to be unique but he started using the same and followed the same using technological advances offering nothing new ending up testing the patience of the viewers.The narration lacks continuity and screenplay turned out to be bizzare and viewers are left wondering what he was upto. Though Dhruva Sarja worked hard, his character turned out to be loud. Reeshama Nanaiah is ok and Sanjay Dutt's character looked extremely awkward. As the narration progresses, the viewers interest wane and when the film ends, they heave a sigh of relief.The cinematography of William David added value to the narration turning it rich. However Arjun Janya's music failed with misplaced songs and also the background score turned out to be very jarry and loud. VFX turned out to be below average and the editing Sanketh Achar failed completely. What surprised all is they completely deleted the controversial song of Norah Fatehi.

Prem as the director failed to get the optimum from the cast and crew. Despite the presence of top stars like Sanjay Dutt and performer like Dhruva Sarja, instead of concentrating on coming with strong story, he paid attention to action sequences and extreme violence. Even the character arcs are underdeveloped and actors turned out to be mere puppets. He lacked the conviction and sticking to his old proven formula turned out to be a drawback. he failed completely with his screenplay, story and direction. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for KD: The Devil.

Let us see what Harudu offered to movie lovers.Harudu (2026) Movie: Story ReviewHarudu story revolves around the happenings in the life of the honest police officer and how he deals with them in various cities. Independent MLA Varadarajulu (Sreehari Paila) goes to any extent and even questions CM (Suman) for the good of the poor and downtrodden and DCP Shankar (Venkat) is out to eliminate criminals in his own style.What happens when drug peddlers and unemloyed youth Aditya, Priyanka, Balaraju, Vicky, Mounika get into dirty fight and where this leads to and what role SI Subhasree, Venkat's wife Priya (Natasha Singh), Mumbai don Rajan (Ravi Varma) form the twist in the developments.Harudu (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewHarudu Movie Hero Venkat is ok in the role of the DCP. He came up with a singular and serious expression and his body language is ok on the screen. Srihari Paila played an important role.Suman and Ravi Varma played small roles. There are many other actors in the film and all of them Hebah Patel, Saloni Aswani, Natasha Singh, Ali, Subhasree, Ravinder Reddy, Shaani, Vedvika, Chandinirao, Adithya, Sunny, Sammeta Gandhi got inconsequential roles.Harudu (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewHarudu story is written by Raj Thalluri. He tried to attract viewers with an action entertainer. He failed completely with the way he started the proceedings and he continues in the same mannner throughout the first half. The flashback action scenes though predictable turns the film racy. Many expected a better second half but once again, he came up with silly and senseless scenes irritating the viewers.His screenplay turned out to be senseless while direction turned rudderless. One gets a feeling that he is out only to murder movie lovers with his so called creative scenes.Uppu Maruthi failed completely as an editor. Though he couldn't be faulted as the story is senseless, he still left many ridiculous scenes. Anandmarukurthi's cinematography is below average. The music of Manizenna left a lot to be desired and so too is the background music. Dialogues are in bad taste and most of them are loaded with double meaning. Production values are just ok.Harudu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e161330b1ec7b1640a9b7d2ca9e947754">Casting For Posters</li></ul>Harudu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eb93a594a366e866a527dc46832353db0">Everything On Screen</li></ul>Harudu (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Harudu turns out to be an atrocious action entertainer. Raj Thalluri tried to thrill viewers with action entertainer but he failed in his attempt completely. The starting scenes itself puts off viewers and from then on it turns out to be a tedious watch. The predictable flashback and the episodes in the second half makes viewers run for cover. There is no respite to the viewers as Raj Thalluri comes with scenes that defies logic and gives immese torture. The story is extremely weak and screenplay and direction is atrocious. Considering all these points, Cinejosh goes with a 1 rating for Harudu.

Dooradarshini (2026) Movie: What's BehindDooradarshini starring Suvixith Bojja and Geethika Rathan under the direction of Karthikeya Kommi is releasing on 15 May 2026. Let us see how the film entertained movie lovers.Dooradarshini (2026) Movie: Story ReviewDooradarshini story revolves around youngsters falling in love and how they deal with the developments in their village in the backdrop of people getting obsessed with watching Doordarshan in TV in the 1990s.Hari (Suvixith) silently loves Vani (Geethika) and he scared to express his love cause of her brother Parasuram (Vijay Krishna Reddy) and how it is connected to Peka Babu (Bhaskar) and army person (Gemini Suresh), &nbsp;Where this leads to form rest of the narration in the village of Mattavaram.Dooradarshini (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSuvixith Bojja worked hard in the lead role. He is good in emotional scenes and is ok in the romantic scenes. However, at times, he looked lethargic and uninterested in performing.Geethika Rathan looked beautiful on the screen. She performed well and attracted with their expressions. She expressed well with her eyes. She looked lively and bubbly.Others like Krishna Reddy, Kittaiah, Chalapathi Raju, Gemini Suresh, G Bhaskar, Bhadram, Lavanya Reddy, Teja Chittoor Kurradu, Dhanalakshmi, Balaraju Pulusu performed according to their roles.Dooradarshini (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDooradhashini story is penned by Karthikeya Kommi. He tried to come up with a love story in the backdrop of 90s revolving around Doordarshan. While choosing 90s backdrop, one should have a strong story and relatable elements and powerful elements to appeal to movie lovers. Otherwise everything turns predictable and routine.Many such films came with similar backdrop and Karthikeya Kommi failed to excite all with the story. Right from the start till the finish, everything turns predictable and the scenes get repeated testing the patience of the viewers. Most of the time, he passed time with unnecessary elements. With the passage of time, even the artists on the screen seems to have lost interest in performing as they just passed through the motions.The story lacked novelty and after the unbearable first half, the second half turns up giving more torture.Climax to some extent comes with a shocking twist. Finally when the film ends, viewers will run towards the exit doors.Anand Gurrana's music is just ok. Songs placement are not in sync with the flow of the story. The songs are shot in a decent manner. &nbsp;Murali Mohan Reddy, Kare Sathish Kumar with their cinematography beautified the scenes on the screen.

Suvixith Bojja, Geethika Ratan the newcomers worked hard on debut and Geethika Rathan especially excelled expressing with her eyes. However, director Karthikeya Kommi came up with an routine story and from there everything went for a toss. The screenplay and direction turned out to be listless and he spent most of the time with repetitive scenes. No amount of reworking on the script would have changed the outcome. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Dooradarshini.

Razor (2026) Movie: What's BehindRazor movie Actor Ravi Babu who is known for his interesting and exciting entertainers is coming with Razor. The film hit the screens on 8 May 2026 and let us see what Ravi Babu with Razor offered to movie lovers.Razor (2026) Movie: Story ReviewRazor movie story revolves around the brutal murder of the chief minister and the incidents that unfold in the aftermath of that.Little girl Teju's life is in danger and Dog Grooming Business owner (Ravi Babu) tries to help her.Why Teju's life is in danger, and his it is connected to the murder of the Chief Minister Seetaramayya, what role Home Minister Kanakaraju played, how it is connected to Colnel Mebin (Banerjee), Commander Rudradev (Ravi Babu) from the interesting developments.Razor (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewRazor movie Actor Ravi Babu played the role to perfection. He came up with the serious expression that is required for his role in the film. He showed good body language and screen presence to elevate the scenes. He performed intense action sequences with ease.Tanish and Inaya Sultana are ok in their roles. Others performed according to their roles. The small girl did well showing good emotions.Razor (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewRazor movie story is penned by Ravi Babu. Expectations will be high as Ravi Babu came up with films like Allari, Nachavule, Nuvvila, Anasuya and Amaravathi. He started the narration in a predictable manner with the chief minister's assassination and the other events that unfold. The story lacked novelty and his screenplay assumed the tried and tested format.He included intense action sequences and loaded with with extreme violence and gory scenes. One gets a feeling that Ravi Babu decided to come up with the most violent film in Telugu after Nani's Hit3 drawing inspiration from films like Marco and Kill.Except for the action sequences, everything turns monotonous and routine. The only saving grace is he included usage of technology in tracking the clues and merging of the videos to prove the sinster design of the criminals. Ravi Babu's screenplay and direction offered nothing new. While the first half though predictable is racy, the second half loses steam during the flashback episode.The background score added value to the narration. It is thumping and helped in maintaining the intensity levels. The Cinematography is in sync with the story and the Narration. Editing is quite good except for few scenes in the second half. Dialogues are ok and production values are fine. Stunt choreographer deserves compliments for the intense action sequences.Razor (2026) Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e925879b752f6ac47f38d88b5ab164100">Ravi Babu</li><li data-list-item-id="e1f0334f5bc82ded2858d1f462fa24e97">Few Twists</li><li data-list-item-id="e7dee434b75340b6c559fd8eb4b7c50c8">BGM</li></ul>Razor (2026) Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e9a208590a1ffc56ae351284057c5e269">Illogical Scenes</li><li data-list-item-id="eb20742290d6d254eb617306e6600d583">Predictable Elements</li><li data-list-item-id="e9709d0700a4e71fc23c853bbf70db34a">Gory Scenes</li></ul>Razor (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Razor turns out to be routine violent actioner. Ravi Babu who acted and directed the film, came up with a predictable story but added few interesting twists and turns. However, this diddnot cover all the loopholes and illogical scenes in the film. Had he taken due care with the story and reworked on the script rather than concentrating on increasing the violence in the content, things would have been different. The routine story, predictable screenplay undid his good intentions. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2/5 rating for Razor.

Ganesh), thief (Sapthagiri) played form rest of the narration.Sathi Leelavathi (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSathi Leelavathi movie Actoress Lavanya Tripathi looked good on the screen. She impresses with her expressive eyes. Dev Mohan looked fine and performed accordingly. Madonna Sebastian looked beautiful on the screen. Others like Naresh, VTV Ganesh, Sapthagiri, Motta Rajendran, Jaffer Sadiq, Tagubothu Ramesh, Joshi performed according to their roles.Sathi Leelavathi Movie: Technicians ReviewSathi Leelavathi story is penned by Tatineni Satya. He tried to entertain viewers with a comedy entertainer in the backdrop of young couple and troubles in their marriage. The entire first half is filled with hero and heroine divorce discussion and the aftermath and people coming to their house. There are many silly and illogical scenes in the film including the flashback. The second half is dragged to the core with the thief entry, kidnap episode and also the husband, wife emotions.There are many scenes that lacked clarity and inbetween two twists come. The so called comedy featuring various actors like Motta Rajendran, Sapthagiri, VTV.Ganesh didnot generate any laughs and ended up irritating viewers.Binendra Menon with his cinematography beautifed the film showing the visuals in an appealing manner. However, the same cannot be said about the music and background score tuned by Mickey J Meyer. Background music failed to make any impact and songs didnot register in the minds of anyone. Satish Surya's editing left a lot to be desired. He left many unnecessary and unwanted scenes in the film that tested the patience of the viewers. Dialogues of Udhay Pottipadu looked outdated and substandard. Dubbing turned out to be a huge minus. Production values are ok.Sathi Leelavathi: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec87f00746b4c1d54b957b868a53087ef">Lavanya Tripathi</li><li data-list-item-id="effa2ae13d2ac23d22be6293c75547abe">Cinematography</li></ul>Sathi Leelavathi: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e33d2ed416ab03b95862413a68cc921b6">Silly Story</li><li data-list-item-id="e9935488badbcbfcb9b65bc4fceb055d3">Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="e97de0395f8ad60e612f7296ae7b7d75e"> Direction</li><li data-list-item-id="ef91de7fa337ef0b48e10a7399c764fe9">Dubbing</li></ul>Sathi Leelavathi (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Sathi Leelavathi turns out to be a torturous outing. Lavanya Tripathi worked hard for the project in a sincere and honest manner but Tatineni Satya came up with silly story and from there everything nosedived. Not only the dubbing but also the dialogues turned out to be worst. One cannot believe that Tatineni Satya who once came up with films like SMS and Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu came up with such story. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1 rating for Sathi Leelavathi.
