Interest is increasing as the film's story is penned by Sai Rajesh who earlier came up with Baby which went on to win National Award. The film is releasing on 24 July 2026 and let us see what the film offered to movie lovers.Chennai Love Story (2026) Movie: Story ReviewChennai Love Story is all about two youngsters who fall in love and the happenings in their lives and how they deal with them. Nivi (Sri Gouri Priya) after the disturbing happenings in her life comes happens to meet an aspiring filmmaker Steven Shankar (Kiran Abbavaram) and where this leads to and what role Ajay (Thrigun) played form rest of the developments.Chennai Love Story (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewKiran Abbavaram virtually lived in the role. Kiran Abbavaram showed variations in his body language as an orphan and also as a youngster who falls in love. He delivered dialogues expressing and emoting according to the situation. His screen presence added value to the proceedings.Sri Gouri Priya played the lead role, and she elevated the scenes with her performance. However as she played the role of a girl who suffers breakup, she came up with strong emotions and powerful and emotional performance and dialogue delivery.Thrigun played his role to the perfection. He helped the narration carry forward with his performance. &nbsp;Siri Hanumanthu, Mahender, Naveen, Pooja &nbsp;performed well in the role of friends. Pramodini, Devi Prasad did well in the role of parents while Karuna Kumar played a key role. Star Tamil director P.Vasu appeared in a cameo.Chennai Love Story (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewChennai Love Story is penned by Sai Rajesh and it is directed by Ravi Namburi. The first half sails smoothly with simple scenes like introduction of the hero and heroine and few comedy scenes before the blossoming of romance. The interval twist comes as a surprise element.The interval twist sets the stage for the second half and once again it starts with the pain and agony of the female lead. Few comedy scenes and interval twist is ok but only people who do not see logics can enjoy the second half. Even that is dragged to the core with unnecessary scenes and this undid all the decent work in the first half.The pre climax action sequence is creative and attracts all and the emotional climax brings curtain to the film in a decent manner.Viswas Daniel's cinematography is visually rich. The color pallets he chose is apt and added value to the output. The songs tuned by Mani Sharma are melodious and shot in the backdrop of beautifully erected sets. He elevated the scenes with his background music. Editing of Santosh Naidu is ok but could have been better as there are repetitive scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues on love and life are thought provoking and impactful. Production values are grand.Chennai Love Story Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="efd325f983e7f325c9320fca22b2c0002">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="e008a06084dfb8e138f8820d2500a1684">Cinematography</li><li data-list-item-id="ee2cfaf18e1de79ae7761803f69cf36f8">Music, BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="ee35764f3e235e821dd1d2542bd25b11b">Emotions</li></ul>Chennai Love Story Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eed5a8bd8b0f1acd50348be2b03b7bf8e">Convenient Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="e7fab662811360ebf7e6be026f1384802">Few Repetitive Scenes</li></ul>Chennai Love Story (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Chennai Love Story turns out to be a predictable romantic entertainer. Kiran Abbavaram and Sri Gouri Priya came up with spirited performances and director Ravi Namburi started the narration in a simple manner before turning the first half into a decent one with good twist. When one expected the film to take off to new heights in the second half, it slips down with dragged narration and illogical scenes. The emotional scenes and conflict has been highlighted quite well in the first half and the twist comes at a good time but he failed to maintain the same tempo in the second half.A little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay would have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Chennai Love Story.

Jana Nayakudu (2026) Movie: What's BehindThalapathy Vijay has a tremendous fan following among all sections of movie lovers. Excitement increased when he teamed with H.Vinoth for Jana Nayagan, his final film before his political entry. The film which was supposed to release before the Tamil Nadu elections, got delayed due to various controversies and also censor hurdles. In-between producers faced lot of tensions with many backing out and when the film got leaked online. However, their stakes increased when Vijay created a sensation in the assembly elections and became the CM of the state. The film now overcame all the hurdles and is releasing on 23 July 2026. Fans are gearing up to celebrate the day as the festival , as the film now happens to be Vijay's first film as the CM of Tamil Nadu. The makers are now promoting the film not as Vijay's last film but Vijay's first film as the CM. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by and streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. The film is releasing in Telugu as Jana Nayakudu and with rumours spreading that the film is the remake of Balakrishna's Bhagavanth Kesari, interest is increasing. Let us find out what Jana Nayakudu offered to movie lovers.Jana Nayakudu (2026) Movie: Story ReviewJana Nayakudu story revolves around a middle aged person's desire to raise a young girl into a fearless woman to face the challenges in the society. Vetri (Vijay) is on a mission to raise young girl Vijji (Mamitha Baiju) as a fearless person. However she has her own problems and these are compounded when Vetri findsout that some unknown elements are out to eleminate her.What is Vijji's problem, who are the unknown elements, how it is connected to Crime Reporter Kayal (Pooja Hegde), Vijji's father Srikanth (Gautam Menon),CM (Nassar), Amrish Pujari aka John Himler (Bobby Deol), Leela Rani (Priyamani) form the interesting part.Jana Nayakudu (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVijay did well in his role. The role is tailormade for him and he did full justice. However there is nothing much to rave about is role and performance. He followed the same template mannerisms, dialogue delivery and style statement and body language. After the passage of time, one gets a feeling that he just passed through the motions and artificiality crept in.Pooja Hegde played the female lead and she did what was required from her. Her role is mostly insignificant. Mamitha Baiju played the &nbsp;all important role that is pivotal to the story and the proceedings. She is just ok with her performance. She failed to connect chords emotionally and elsewise.Bobby Deol played the role of the antagonist. His role turned out to be a caricature and could be a meme fest. His character turned out to be weak. Prakash Raj is just ok with his performance. Priyamani, Nassar, Sunil and others completed the cast are turned into dummies.Jana Nayakudu (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewJana Nayagan aka Jana Nayakudu story is penned by H.Vinoth. Though he claimed that the film is not the remake of Bhagawanth Kesari and he took few scenes, most of the first half is similar to Bhagawanth Kesari except for few changes here and there. The first half starts with Vijay trying to raise his daughter without any fear and then the narration shifts to the introduction of the antagonist. The entire antagonist episode and there after looks silly and ridiculous to the core.The substandard and poor graphics turned the scenes into a tedious watch. the first half turns out to be stale with no real high elements. The second half continues in the similar manner and the core soul and emotion of Bhagawanth Kesari's Beti Ko Sher Banao goes for a toss. The pre climax and climax turns out to be childish with video game like elements. One gets a feeling that even video games or TV serials have better graphics.Anirudh Ravichander is known for his impactful works and he tuned the music and composed BGM for the film. However it turned out to be extremely disappointing as the songs failed to entertain and also not shot in an appealing manner. His background music failed to make any impact. He couldn't be blamed as the narration did not give him chance to do so. The editing of Pradeep Raghav turned out to be miserable. There are many scenes that tested the patience of the viewers. Had he used the editing scissors there wouldn't have been any film at all. The cinematography of Satyan Sooran became a disappointing affair. The dialogues failed to connect chords and most of them are politically motivated. Production values are below average.Jana Nayakudu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e85cb270d64616567b8805c09dabb5485">Vijay to some extent</li></ul>Jana Nayakudu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e1a0e9a0e065f7373d18e148469f56acc">Everything Else</li></ul>Jana Nayakudu (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether Jana Nayakudu turns out to be a soulless entertainer. H.Vinoth got the golden opportunity to direct Vijay's last film. Vijay put in sincere efforts and Vinoth drawing inspiration from Balakrishna's Bhagawanth Kesari came up with Jana Nayakudu. Instead of elevating the emotions to the next level and better than the original, Vinoth concentrated on elevating the heroism of Vijay and also promote his political ideology. This resulted in the film turning out into a half baked one. Even the elevation scenes failed to make an impact and Vinoth shockingly killed the soul of the original. He failed completely with his story, screenplay and direction. The so called changes he made to the original instead of adding value, diluted the essence of the film and the message it intended to give to the society. Jana Nayakudu is touted to be the farewell film for Vijay but it turned out to be a failed farewell. He deserved better rather than this crap. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Jana Nayakudu.

Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: What's BehindYoung and talented actor Thiruveer is coming to entertain movie lovers with the film titled Oh Sukumari. The film directed by Bharat Darshan is releasing on 17 July 2026. The film's OTT rights have been acquired by Amazon Prime. Let us see what the film offered to movie lovers.Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Story ReviewOh Sukumari story revolves around a youngster who tries to win his political battle and also win the property of his ancestor which comes with a condition. Yadagiri (Thiruveer) is on a mission to get married within no time and finally falls for a beautiful girl Damini (Aishwarya Rajesh).Why Yadagairi is in a hurry to get married and what shock he faces after he enters into wedlock with Damini, what roles Damini's father Chandraiah (Kota Jayaram), Thiruveer's mother (Aamani), village sarpanch (Muralidhar Goud), influential lady (Jhansi) &nbsp;form the interesting part.Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewThiruveer performed in his role in an effective manner. He showed good emotions and expressions according to the situation. However he did not get much scope to elevate the scenes due to weak characterization.Aishwarya Rajesh performed her role quite well. She looked good on screen in some scenes. At times however she looked odd. She delivered dialogues with ease.There are many other actors in the film like Jhansi, Muralidhar Goud, Aamani, Anji Mama, Kota Jayaram, Gavireddy Srinivas, Kranti Balivada, Saranya Pradeep etc and they try their best to entertain viewers. However, only to some extent they succeed.Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewOh Sukumari story is penned by Bharat Darshan. He tried to attract viewers with a hilarious entertainer. He came up with an interesting idea but even before one could get excited, right from the start till the finish, he filled it with numerous cringe elements, be it emotions and hilarious scenes.The entire first half is filled with repetitive scenes, monotonous elements and routine flavor. Many expected the second half to fare better but it sailed in the similar manner. Bharat tested the patience of all with weak screenplay and writing. Many scenes which are expected to take emotions to new heights turned out to be artificial and outdated. The climax turned out to be silly and ordinary.The music and songs of Bharat Machiraju turns out to be a disappointment. None of the songs impresses. To the top of it, he failed completely with his background music. Kushender CH showed the rural atmosphere with his camera angles in an appealing manner. However there isn't much left for him to showcase in the film. The editing of Sree Varaprasad failed to the core. There are many scenes that are repetitive and tested the patience of the movie lovers. Dialogues are pretty ordinary. Production values are just ok.Oh SukumariMovie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e5123d676677c7d1184345d1e8d224b43">Thiruveer - Aishwarya Rajesh</li></ul>Oh Sukumari Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec689e27b1a74d0cf0d6254adbaececc0">Outdated Narration</li><li data-list-item-id="e1fbc026301b22019e3772a76d1f0199c">Listless Writing</li></ul>Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Oh Sukumari turns out to be silly and outdated entertainer. Though Thiruveer and Aishwarya Rajesh came up with spirited performances, Bharat Darshan failed to do justice to the interesting point. One wonders how the makers proceeded ahead with the project. His writing turned out to be weak and the scenes looked odd and outdated and screenplay lacked everything. The script itself doesn't excite anyone. No amount of rework would have changed the quality or the end result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Oh Sukumari. &nbsp;

The film's OTT rights have been bagged by Netflix and streaming willbe after the completion of its theatrical run.Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Story ReviewHrudayam Murali story revolves around a youngster's experiences after he falls in love and the happenings in his life and the surprising developments.Hrudaya (Atharvaa Murali) is unable to express his feelings and emotions due to the circumstances he was raised. Where this leads to when he comes across Samyuktha and Samantha (Priety Mukhundhan), Dr Amudha (Kayadu Lohar) and what roles his uncle Thanga (Natarajan Subramanian) , Teacher Geeta (Jonitha Gandhi) and his friends Dr. Sachin (Thaman), (Niharika NM, Rakshan, Sudhakar, Dravid Selvam and Angelin ), Surya( Fahadh Faasil) play form the rest of the narration.Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAtharvaa Murali is good in his role. He performed in a realistic way highlighting the weak traits commendably. He shows the feelings in a convincing manner. Priety Mukhundhan's role is good but her charater is under developed. Kayadu Lohar appears in a cameo and she does justice elevating the emotions perfectly. Natarajan Subramaniam is good in the role of the uncle.Fahad Faasil is good in the cameo. He impresses with his antics.Others like Natty, Thaman S, Niharika, Rakshan, Dravid Selvam, Angeline, Anju Kurian, Sudhakar, Yashashree, Jonita Gandhi performed according to their roles.Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewHrudayam Murali story is penned by Aakash Baskaran. He tried to entertain movie lovers with a breezy romantic entertainer and drew inspiration from Atharvaa's father Murali's classic Hrudyam. The narration starts with the introduction of Atharvaa's character through Fahad Faasil's voice over and his personality and his thought process.Fahad Faasil highlights the mood of the viewers with his oneliners quite aptly while the narration got the hilarious touch with the actor &nbsp;Sudhakar. Fahad Faasil not only entertains but also mocks the character of Atharvaa and also the film's screenplay to leave all amused.But except for the two characters the film offers nothing new or exciting and turns out to be a tedious watch. The narration is stretched and screenplay is dragged to the core on a small point that hero cannot express his feelings for more than two and half hours.The film's convenient narration with Priety Mukhundhan's character disappearing surprisingly disappoints all. The convenient screenplay results in various characters appearing and disappearing as per the whims and fancies ot the director. The story offers nothing new and it is dragged completely with the pre decided runtime. To the top of it,the lead character not undergoing any transformation for almost 90% of the film tests the patience of the viewers.Director spent most of the time, highlighting the relationship between the lead character and his uncle and the girls in his life and in turn misses the emotional connection completely.The cinematography of Manoj Paramahansa showed the scenes in a natural and appealing manner. Thaman's songs failed to impress and it would have been better had the makers done away with them. His background music is just ok. The editing of &nbsp;Pradeep E Ragav left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that tested the patience of the viewers and could have easily been chopped off. Production values are ok.Hrudayam Murali Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec8666aee2dcfddddcfc4c15d3385a992">Few Hilarious Scenes</li></ul>Hrudayam Murali Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0a6360738e754e677eb1c728bb26d270">Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="eb2bbe48bd0b27f0fdbdb47dcc925673b">Story, Direction</li><li data-list-item-id="ed52267bd3888c381de7db15e2a905972">Dragged Narration</li></ul>Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Hrudayam Murali turns out to be an predictable romantic entertainer. Director Aakash Baskaran drew inspiration from yesteryear classic Hrudayam. After selecting small point, right from the first scene, he kept on dragging the narration with repetitive scenes. The screenplay is slow to the core and the script offered nothing new. There is nothing &nbsp;much to rave about the film and viewers will have a sigh of relief when the film ends. Considering all these elements, goes with 2 rating for Hrudayam Murali.&nbsp; &nbsp;

However he did not get much chance to show variations in his expressions as he played the serious role throughout the film. He enacted high octane stunts with ease.Parvathy Thiruvotthu performed well as a mother of kids and wife. Both her and Prithviraj Sukumaran's roles are completely different from the regular films.Baby Nakshatra, Baby Ira played key roles. Ira generates few laughs. Hakim Shajahan and others performed according to their roles.I, Nobody (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewI, Nobody story is penned by Nissam Basir. He decided to thrill the views with money heist story. The story revolves around robberies and scams. He managed to excite all with the thrilling elements with the scenes before and after the robberies. He highlighted how the opinions of people and middle class family changes in the backdrop of money heist.Interest levels increase with the starting scene of the bank robbery which takes viewers into the story.

The police investigation and others in the first half brings and end setting the tone for the exciting second half.However, the second half goes for a toss with the hero kidnap scene and various sub plots. While the first half is natural, the second half had shades of artificiality and illogical scenes. Couple of scenes in the second half turns it into a decent one.Ramess' Editing could have been far better as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the film especially in the second half. Cinematography showed the scenes in a natural and realistic manner and Dinesh Purushottaman followed the standard template and took viewers into the story. JakesBejoy's background score is in sync with the story and he managed to keep the scenes the intensity levels intact. Production values are good.I, Nobody Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="efac77570c94718f6dd2d42e0fb573674">Prithviraj Sukumaran</li><li data-list-item-id="ea4f4d8838a99ac030261fccca3a6627d">Cinematography</li><li data-list-item-id="e91a967198e6f355d36cf2fdfd80b11ff">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e9fe24b1d186dc031d3fed2d4c5f89d13">Few Twists</li></ul>I, Nobody Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e7d8d32d6ea681235eb4429f052dec645">Slow Pace</li></ul>I, Nobody (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, I Nobody turns out to be a decent thriller. Prithviraj Sukumaran and Parvathy Thiruvottu came up with good performances. Director Nissam Basir came up with a known story but with his screenplay tried to thrill viewers. He emerged successful for most of the first half but lost plot in the second half. A little bit finetuning of the script, doing away with illogical elements and racy screenplay would have added value to the narration. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for I, Nobody.

Lenin (2026) Movie: What's BehindNagarjuna's son Akhil has been trying his best to score his first hit at the box office and then reach the next level of stardom. Despite his sincere attempts, he failed in his mission. He is now teaming with Murali Kishor Abburu of Vinaro Bhagyamo Vishnu Katha fame and is turning Lenin. Akhil transformed his look for the film, which is based on real-life incidents. The film's teaser and trailer got a good response and let us see what impact Akhil made as Lenin at the box office and won the appreciation of movie lovers.

Where this leads to, what roles Bharathi ( Bhagyashree Borse), her father Neelakantam ( Ramki), Jayantamma's son Vasanth ( Pramod Panju), Yathiraju ( Sivaji), MLA Raghava Reddy, Damodara ( Brahmaji), Kadapa police Parthasarathi ( Sunil), and others form rest of the developments.Lenin (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAkhil put in lot of hard work for his role in the film and it is there for everyone to see. He is fine with his performance and in couple of emotional scenes he made his presence felt. He is good with his emotions and expressions.Bhagyashri Borse looked good on the screen. But she got a limited scope to show her acting talent. Pramod Panju made an impact with his performance and screen presence. Easwari Rao is good and so too Ramki, Sivaji, Brahmaji and Sunil. All got typecast roles and they did their part according to the narration.Lenin (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewLenin's story is penned by Murali Kishor Abbudu of Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha. He tried to attract masses with an intense romantic entertainer in the backdrop of a rustic village atmosphere. He starts the narration in an exciting manner but the flashback episodes dip the intensity levels with routine and monotonous romantic scenes and revenge plots.The entire first half offers nothing new but predictable commercial plot elements and scenes. The hero's elevations and the rest of the characters revolving around him just seems to be inspired from other hit commercial films. The entire first half turns out to be outdated to the core and viewers will be expecting a better second half at the interval.The second half starts with a couple of twists and generates interest. However, the missing emotions and the weak characterizations marred the intensity and impact power. The pre climax and climax turns out to be ok with the so-called twists. Dialogues are just average.Thaman's tunes for the songs are just ok. None of them get registered in the minds of the viewers except for the song VaareVaa VaareVaa. Many songs appear to abruptly impact the pace of the narration. He however elevated the scenes with his background music.Leone Britto with his cinematography showed the rustic village atmosphere in a natural and realistic way. The editing of Naveen Nooli could have been better, though it is ok. Dialogues are formulaic and production values are good.Lenin Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e8c67b705fa9a25e753c104b31262029b">Akhil</li><li data-list-item-id="e860d281d4131ca0dc327ceba5de9f3de">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e15189d16d2ebadfa8bde1f744c7324e8">Cinematography</li></ul>Lenin Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e87b930b40f0d68472cc63889861ac241">Missing Emotions</li><li data-list-item-id="ef817d18b1edb08f76103a679438da035">Songs</li><li data-list-item-id="e6338d35b1f8f6767eca05182852e7362">Characterizations</li></ul>Lenin (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Lenin turns out to be formulaic commercial drama. Akhil worked hard for his role undergoing transformation but Murali Kishore Abburu, except for couple of twists and the initial start, fails to take it to the next level. A little fine-tuning of the script, a tighter screenplay, powerful emotions, and strong character arcs would have added more punch to the film's overall output. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Lenin.

Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: What's BehindSatyadev 's Rao Bahadur is generating interest among movie lovers with exciting teaser and trailer. With the film presented by Mahesh Babu's GMB banner expectations are high.

Rao Bahadur 's OTT rights have been bagged by Netflix and streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. The film is releasing on 3 July and let us see how Rao Bahadur entertained move lovers.Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: Story ReviewRao Bahadur story revolves around a person from the royal lineage suffering from a rare disorder. The developments in the psychological patient and how he navigates them form the plot.Bhuvanam Ramappa Rao ( Satyadev) suffers from a rare psychological disorder and starts behaving weirdly. Where this leads to, what is the reason behind his disorder and weird behavior and how &nbsp;his wife Renuka ( Deepa Thomas), his friend Dr.Achari(Vikas Muppala), Achchamma(Balakrishna Parasar), A. Jagannadhan IPS (Anand) and others form rest of the developments.Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSatyadev put in lot of effort for his role. He is seen in different outfits, mannerisms and transformed his body language accordingly as per the timeline in the narration. He modulated his dialogue delivery according to the situation and impressed with his dialogue delivery. He showed good expressions and emotions according to the situation. This is best performance in all his films till now and even the nay Sayers will concur.Deepa Thomas who played the female lead did justice to it. She got limited screen presence but came up with energetic performance. She got good dialogues and looked bubbly and lively on screen. She expressed with her eyes only to mesmerize all.Vikas Muppala is good in the role of the protagonist's friend. He looked natural and realistic with his performance driving the story forward. He made an impression with his dialogues and natural performance.Bala Parasar is good in the role of the maid. She entertained all not only with her dialogue delivery but also with her humour.Others like Anand Bharathi, Pranay Vaka, Kunal Kaushik, Master Kiran performed according to their roles.Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewRao Bahadur story is opened by Venkat Maha. Venkat Maha tried to thrill people with a different kind of psychological thriller. He starts the narration on an interesting note and Satyadev's introduction and the follow-up scenes increases curiosity levels.However from then on the pace of the narration tests the patience of the movie lovers. There are many scenes and viewers will be left wondering what's going on and where the story is heading and when the first half ends, it comes as a breather for the people.The narration and pace picks up a little bit in the second half though the story progresses no where. The climax twist comes as a relief. Even after the twist, the proceedings are dragged before the film ends making viewers heave a sigh of relief.Smaran Sai's music offered nothing much to rave about. The tunes are not catchy and are not even shot on an appealing manner. However, he made up for it, with his captivating background score. It elevated the mood of the story and proceedings.The cinematography of Karthik Parmar used the colour combinations, grading and camera angles to show the period backdrop in a natural and realistic way.Venkat Maha who handled the editing failed in this aspect. He left many unnecessary scenes unattended and this slowed the pace of the film drastically in the first half testing the patience of all. Dialogues are just ok. Production values are good.Rao Bahadur Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e89f9bccf5ae0f998e260186ab7d6fd60">Satyadev</li><li data-list-item-id="e322931614dda05d784b4fbb74121d7f5">Different Concept</li><li data-list-item-id="e63a40f8b4b0f16133d33fc7835eef2c1">BGM, Cinematography</li><li data-list-item-id="e67e3a2d0153e06c3e6c7038c57016bb7">Good Production values</li></ul>Rao Bahadur Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e955e04c11cec9e5b6c9e8ea0c3f7fec6">Slow Pace</li><li data-list-item-id="e657e6604870655ad79ea2e8130ef569d">Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="e1d6f85d1109b9b85e95dac4694418f43">Writing</li></ul>Rao Bahadur (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Rao Bahadur turns out to be patient testing psychological thriller. Satyadev showed faith in Venkat Maha's direction and gave it all for the role. Venkat Maha seems to have penned the story after deciding to the climax twist. This impacted the overall output to a point of no return.The idea turned out to be interesting but he failed with his story. The writing turned out to be weak, screenplay didn't come with anything special and there is much to talk about the direction which is directionless. A little &nbsp;reworking on the script by adding strong emotions, witty one-liners, doing away with preachy elements and having more racy screenplay would have changed the result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Rao Bahadur. &nbsp;

Rao Bahadur Review

Nagabandham The Secret Treasure (2026) Movie: What's BehindVirat Karrna's Nagabandham The Secret Treasure directed by Abhishek Nama has been promoted in the most extravagant manner. The film's grand VFX and CGI increased the curiosity levels among movie lovers. Nagabandham OTT rights have been bagged by Amazon Prime and the streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. The film released on 3 July 2026 and let us find out how Nagabandham captivated movie lovers.Nagabandham (2026) Movie: Story ReviewNagabandham story revolves around people with evil intentions going all out to possess the all powerful Brahma Kamalam and creating bloodbath in the process and how the right thinking people try to protect Brahma Kamalam and their rich traditions.Rudra (Virat Karrna) leads a peaceful life in his village but everything changes on the day of his sister Manasa (Sonia Singh) marriage. What happened during his sister's marriage and how it is connected to the archeological guru (Prabhakar), Abdali (Rishab Sahwney) what roles Parvathi (Nabha Natesh), Manasa (Iswarya Menon), Bairagi(Garuda Ram), priest Achyutha (Murali Sharma) played, how it is connected to Shiva (Virat Karnna), and Brahma Kamalam form the interesting part in the narration.Nagabandham (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVirat Karrna performed well in both roles, Rudra and Shiva. He showed innocence, love for his family as Rudra and fury as Shiva. His screen presence is good and he enacted stunts with ease. Rishab Sawhney is menacing with his look as Abdali and also as the Muslim emperor. He impressed with his mannerisms.Nabha Natesh is good in the role of a traditional girl. She also oozed with glamor in a song. Jagapathi Babu performed the role tailor made for him perfectly. Sonia Singh, popular youtuber performed well in the sister's role. Anasuya is ok in the role of aunt. Iswarya Menon is ok in her role. Murali Sharma made his presence felt as a priest.There are many actors like Daksha Nagarkar, Mahesh Manjrekar, Ankit Koyya,John Vijay and others did their job according to their roles. Nagabandham (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewNagabandham-The Secret Treasure story is penned by Abhishek Nama. The story offered nothing new as many films came in the recent past highlighting the power of God and how ultimately he eliminates the evil forces who try to wreak havoc to posses the supreme powers.Films like Mirai and Hanuman turned out to be hits and of late many filmmakers are trying to milk people's interest in Sanatana Dharma and the secrets with dialogues pertaining to them but most of them are failing in their mission. If mythological and elements on God in a story comes naturally then it will connect chords with the people. However, all the so called Sanatana elements are forced and this ends up testing the patience of the viewers.Nagabandham also fell in the second category unfortunately. There is no clarity how the hero became the protector of the all powerful Brahma Kamalam right from the first half. The film lacked the drive and direction and it drifted in various directions and the screenplay turned out to be topsy turvy. Emotions play a key role in the films and the film lacked them completely. Only when emotions are strong and realistic, natural, it will help in taking forward the drama or action sequences.With emotions missing , the scenes come and go one after another and viewers are left wondering what was happening. The extreme violence in the marriage looked totally unnecessary and unwanted except for the gory scenes which the director felt would have made an impact on the viewers emotionally.Though the first half had no story, visuals are extravagant and the interval bang covered all the loopholes setting the stage for the second half. However the second half turned out to be extremely slow and all the characters turned unnecessarily loud shouting at the top of their voices. Director included family scenes revolving around children but none of them created an impact. The flashback episode lacked clarity and it is also filled with mindless violence.The climax action episode itself came to more than 30 minutes and the story revolved around it but none of them connected chords with the viewers. Everything goes with loud shouts and intense and senseless action. On top of it, they gave immense torture with irrelevant dialogues on Sanatana Dharma.The background score tuned by Junaid Kumar elevated the scenes to the next level creating the maximum impact. However, at times it turned loud and routine. The cinematography of Soundar Rajan S is top class. The VFX and CGI are of top class most of the time, except in few scenes where they looked pale and substandard.Junaid Kumar - Abhe's songs acted as speed breaks to the narration. Except for the Namo song, others failed to impress and some songs came with in 2-3 minutes gap. Editing left a lot to be desired, especially in the second half. Dialogues are just ok and production values are grand.Nagabandham Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eb594ad9e18a42338b69b01eb1eee6864">Visuals</li><li data-list-item-id="e994ee9df25be8da1cfade0f49ab27cec">First Half</li><li data-list-item-id="e03c19a6434f469d2b00550495feb463d">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e53ac52f471f627ae2ae87dc2ff31adce">Some engaging episodes</li></ul>Nagabandham Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e6eaf2810d307659ae2e849ec6b6267a6">Missing Emotions</li><li data-list-item-id="edbe53ecdbf341a82efb00f11137c4966">Lack of Novel Story, Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="e26ed5b5acf569fcb4c720e74a5911376">Dragging climax</li></ul>Nagabandham (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether Nagabandham The Secret Treasure offers visual treat minus story feast. Director Abhishek Nama depended only on extravagant visuals and over the top dialogues on Sanatana Dharma and action sequences surrounding them but failed to come with strong story. He failed completely with his screenplay and direction. His script turned out to be senseless and he should have reworked on it completely. Everything turned senseless and mindless in the name of Sanatana Dharma. He and other filmmakers should realize that loud dialogues on Sanatana Dharma and Hinduism will not give them guaranteed blockbuster at the box office. It should be backed with strong content which is missing in Nagabandham. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with 2.25 rating for Nagabandham. &nbsp;

Isakapatnam (2026) Web Series: What's BehindSamuthirakani, Aishwarya Rajesh's Isakapatnam, a web series, is streaming on Amazon Prime from 2 July 2026. Let us find out whether Isakapatnam, which comes with 7 episodes, thrilled viewers or not.Isakapatnam (2026) Web Series: Story ReviewIsakapatnam story revolves around a fictional port town and the happenings when the daughter of a powerful and power hungry politician takes him head on in the 90s.Naidu (Samuthirakhani) tryst to wield iron like grip over the port city of Isakapatnam and his desire to become more powerful hits a roadblock from unexpected quarters in 1990. Where this leads to and what roles his daughter Bharathi ( Aishwarya Rajesh), Peddanna( Naresh Agasthya),CI Verma (Sunil),Kotayya( Bannerjee), Chinna Rao( Rajeev Kanakala), Sekhar (Raja Chembolu), Vijaya Bharathi( Rohini), Soori( Sudhakar Komakula) and others form rest of the twistsIsakapatnam (2026) Web Series: Artists ReviewAishwarya Rajesh showcases her acting talent in an intense role. She lived in the role, coming up with intense expressions and powerful screen presence. She showed variations in her role quite well, looking realistic in her Transformation.Samuthirakhani is known for good performances but this time he looked a complete misfit in the role of a routine political leader. His dialogue delivery turned out to be a big minus.Naresh Agasthya performed well but he looked subdued bringing down the intensity. Sudhakar Komakula impresses but his character is under developed. Raja Chembolu is good. Sunil's role is just ok.Talented actors like Rohini, Mime Gopi, Ravi Varma, Rajeev Kanakala, and Benarjee nothing to rave about. Others performed scoring to their roles.Isakapatnam (2026) Web Series: Technicians ReviewIsakapatnam story is penned by Prashanth Ragathi and it is directed by BH. Garry. The story is simple and predictable with couple of interesting twists. Many such stories came where daughter takes on her politically powerful father. One is reminded of films like Chhatrapati and webseries Parampara.He tried to be realistic ,showing the happenings in the steel plant but the entire political tussle and battle on the family turns out to be predictable. The narration despite all this is made interesting with few twists and turns unraveling them at the right time in all the episodes.Though it raises curiosity among viewers, the missing emotional connectivity disappoints all.The music of Praveen Lakkaraju is in sync with the story and Narration. As the story itself offers nothing new, it seems he didn't try hard to create something out of the box.Vamsi Patchipulusu with his &nbsp;cinematography added value to the narration. He showed the happenings in the fictious town interestingly using the camera angle and colour grading.But one gets a feeling that both the music and cinematography followed the known generic and standard pattern.The editing of BH. Garry is good. He ensured that the narration is racy and pace doesn't dip drastically. Couple of dialogues of Taijuddin are good and thought provoking.Production values are decent.Isakapatnam Web Series: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ef770023c38cf4dcffab2411cfa496e04">Aishwarya Rajesh</li><li data-list-item-id="e201bd14058e642e08a4863657b1fec39">Interesting Twists</li><li data-list-item-id="e7a564f8c042003def4f4b3f67f681e4a">Couple of Performances</li></ul>Isakapatnam Web Series: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e6eea4cc01eacab675a05aaf2ba82a9b3">Missing Emotions</li><li data-list-item-id="e72be34588c2bc7d39c9367738c1cb925">Predictable Plot</li></ul>Isakapatnam (2026) Web Series: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Isakapatnam turns out to be a decent political thriller. Director BH.Garry did a decent job to the story that is highly routine except for few twists. Little fine tuning of the script, exciting screenplay, &nbsp;having strong emotions, powerful characterizations and suitable cast could have added more bite. The character arcs could have been more intense and inclusion of free more thrilling elements would have taken the series to another level. Action choreography could have been more intense. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Isakapatnam. &nbsp;

Dridam (2026) Movie: What's BehindMalayalam movies are captivating movie lovers across the country and now a thriller named Dridam &nbsp;released in theatres last month and did well at the box office. The film is now streaming on Jio+Hotstar and let us see what the film offered to movie lovers.Dridam (2026) Movie: Story ReviewDridam story revolves around a police officer and how his life changes when he discovers human remains. Vijay (Shane Nigam) lands in Kuzhinilam town after getting appointed as the &nbsp;sub-inspector. Everything goes well with him, including his subordinates who are genial and develops a liking for him and the town is also free of crimes.However everything turns drastically with the discovery of the dead body and crimes increases one by one challenging his investigative skills. Where this leads to and what role &nbsp;CPO Vidya Jayachandran (Saniya Fatima), &nbsp;ASI Krishnan Kurup (Shobi Thilakan), &nbsp;CPO Remya Surendran(Krishna Praba), &nbsp;CPO Sathyan(Dinesh Prabhakar), Manoj (Abhiram Radhakrishnan) and SCPO Balan Nair (Kottayam Ramesh) form the interesting part.Dridam (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewShane Nigam is good in the role of a cop. He showed good expressions and emotions as a new and inexperienced SI but at times he looked inconsistent as his body language is stiff. He looked convincing when it comes to show his confusion and anger.Others like Shobi Thilakan, Kottayam Ramesh, Dinesh Prabhakar, Nandan Unni, Vinod Bose, Krishna Prabha, Saniya Fathima, Mathew Varghese, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, Prashanth Murali, Bitto Davis, Joji K. John and Abhishek Raveendran performed according to their roles.However most of their characters are underdeveloped and under written and offered nothing new to the story.Dridam (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDridam story is penned by Jomon John and Linto Devasia and is directed by Martin Joseph. He tried to thrill viewers movie lovers with invetigative drama and it seems he drew inspiration from the films like Drishyam etc. He started the narration in an interesting manner and didnot devaite from the main plot and manages to surprise all with a climax twist.However, as he drew inspiration from Jeethu Joseph's films, much to the shock of all, he included the same flaws and this impacted the film. He showed the transformation of the cop from a rookie to an efficient one in an able way. However the director failed with his lazy manner of story telling. There are many scenes that looked artificial and staged and looked awkward on the screen.He spent most of the time, showing the admiration of the subordinates to the protagonist and all these looked unnecessary and irrelevant. At times, the scenes and the screenplay looked clumsy and convenient insulting the intelligence of the viewers. There are also many illogical scenes and this impacted the final output. The director failed to execute the decent story with the screenplay and direction.The behavior of the protagonist in various scenes looked silly and this impacted the basic investigation and the whole idea. Some of the so called scenes and the scenes looked absurd and even kids would laugh it out loudly.The cinematography of PM. Unnikrishnan showed the scenes in a natural and realistic manner showing the village atmosphere in a serene and calm way. The background score of Sreerag Saji elevated the scenes and managed to keep the viewers glued to the screen with the twists and turns. The editing of VS. Vinayak could have been better as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are ok and production values are good.Dridam Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e410418a17f0e1841e24b25c86c98ead1">Climax Twist</li><li data-list-item-id="e987c73815e6d58ebdd8bec9433c4115c">Cinematography</li><li data-list-item-id="e789bea59783cde88be7866b6487ca7ce">BGM</li></ul>Dridam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e7a1dab478b8dfe23508637c97d08cb21">Slow Pace</li><li data-list-item-id="ee4653122438d168cf57adb5cdf37e164">Sub Plots</li><li data-list-item-id="ee871dab49c3fc76114600f72e08d0554">First Half</li></ul>Dridam (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Dridam turns out to be a botched up thriller. Director Martin Joseph came up with a thriller that looked like a slow poison and unlike other investigative thrillers where a twist comes during the interval bang, the twist appears only during the climax. Till then the director passes time with unnecessary scenes and the slow pace in the screenplay and narration tested the patience of the viewers. Only the cinematography saved the film from sinking further. Except for the final 30 minutes, everything goes for the toss in Dridam. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Dridam.&nbsp;

For &nbsp;90% of the film, it assumes routine flavors except for one shocking twist and the emotions revolving around it. The entire first half is loaded with hero killing time with his friends and the romantic track after he gets attracted to a beautiful girl. Everything looks routine except for the interval twist. No one can guess the interval twist and the director should be complimented for it.While the first half had predictable scenes of hero and his gang and also his romantic track and the fights with the rival gang, the second half scenes are full of family emotions and sentiment. The pre climax and climax elevates the film to new heights. overall Sreekanth Sangisetty managed to engage gen z viewers with couple of twists.The dialogues are good and the Telangana accent appeal to youth. The scenes featuring friends, father-mother sentiment etc are somewhat dragged. Sreekanth Sangisetty's story, screenplay and direction turned out to be decent.Vamsi Patchipulusu's cinematography added value to the narration and the storyline. Eswar chand's couple of songs are youthful and are shot well and background score is good. However he used Sita Ramam background score for the interval bang and it worked out well. Hrishikesh Pasapal's editing is just ok. There are many scenes that dragged the proceedings with routine elements. Production values are good.Deewana Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ea4d8a4503df8d1bbd9df5335ce34f5c5">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="eb255e61b9c4b4a87108efebaf9b371ee">Couple of Twists</li><li data-list-item-id="e91a77bde777eb9636359c264086eef93">Emotions</li><li data-list-item-id="ea5747bf28406c8ff9ac624e6325fc5c2">second half is superbly written and presented</li></ul>Deewana Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e303a9ffc015f07fe355dd12be7f3e67b">Illogical Scenes</li><li data-list-item-id="e7d828d87f4ed35985abb93c14034fbde">Monotonous Elements</li></ul>Deewana (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Deewana turns out to be a monotonous love story but for the shocking twist. Harshith Reddy and Smeha Manimeghalai performed well in the roles and director Sreekanth Sangisetty seems to have first decided on the twist, before developing the story. A little finetuning of the script would have added more power to the proceedings especially The first half is slow and has some monotony. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Deewana. &nbsp;
