Alia Bhatt will be seen as an assassin in the new Yash Raj Films movie Alpha. Many fans thought she would play a spy, but new details say her role is very different. She is not a good hero like other characters in the YRF Spy Universe. She is trained to kill and works as an alpha killer. Director Shiv Rawail is making the film, and YRF head Aditya Chopra wants to show a new type of hero. The makers feel today’s audience likes bold and exciting lead characters on screen.The film also stars Sharvari in a key role, with Bobby Deol playing the main villain. Anil Kapoor will appear in an important part too. Alpha is planned as the first female-led film in the YRF Spy Universe. The team has shot big action scenes in Kashmir and Mumbai. Alia trained for months in mixed martial arts and weapons to look real as an assassin. The story will focus on her mission and the cost of her deadly job. This is a new step for the spy series, which earlier had heroes like Tiger, Pathaan, and Kabir.Alpha will release in theatres on July 3, 2026. The makers want to give a fresh feel to the YRF Spy Universe with a strong woman doing full action. Aditya Chopra is taking a different path by making the lead a killer who cannot be judged for her choices. The film is being made on a big budget with high-end action and VFX. Fans are waiting to see Alia in this tough new avatar. With Bobby Deol as her enemy and Sharvari by her side, Alpha promises a new kind of spy story.This new approach can help the YRF Spy Universe grow bigger and connect with more people. The movie will mix emotion, action, and style, but with a darker lead character. Alia’s role as an assassin marks a big change from her past films. The teaser is expected early next year, and the buzz is already high. If it works, Alpha could start a new chapter for female-led action films in India.

She said “Geetu is like, okay, tomorrow when you come on set, I want you to be… and I’m a person when I walk on set I’m always like, ‘Hi, what’s up, good morning’, I’m that person. And she’s like, ‘I don’t want pleasantries, I want you to come in that zone, no hi hello, not your team, nobody, just be in a zone today’.”She shared &nbsp;“Working in Kannada, I think I would say Toxic has been challenging because it’s for the first time that we shot in both English and Kannada. We would do the same scene. So this shot was an English shot first till we got the take right. Then we do the Kannada take, because you’re, at least for someone like me, Kannada not being my language, mugging up my dialogues literally the night before,"The film stars Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth in important roles.&nbsp;

The film released during summer and got strong support from families and youth. Good word of mouth and repeat viewers helped the movie stay steady for weeks. The action scenes and Suriya’s role as a mass hero brought crowds to theaters in large numbers.There is a small gap between the makers’ numbers and trade reports. As per the makers, the total is over 300 crore with Tamil Nadu alone giving more than 150 crore. But trade sites say the total is close to 275 crore with today’s shows added.

Where this leads to form the interesting part. Police Anji Babu (Ajay Ghosh) gets a surprise case of Sanju (Viraj Ashwin), What is so surprising about the case and what roles Venkata Lakshmi (Anupama Parameswaran) and Lodon returned Mareechika (Regina Cassanndra) played form the rest of the twists and turns.Mareechika (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewViraj Ashwin looked good on the screen. He played the role of a loverboy with variations to perfection. He showed good expressions annd emotions according to the situation.Regina Cassandra looked raunchy on screen. She indulged in glamor treat as a foreign returned girl and played the key role in the story. Anupama Parameswaran surprises with her variations. She at the beginning showed the innocent nature and later showed variations accordinly showing the right kind of expressions and emotions. However at times in the deglamor role she overacted herself.Ajay Ghosh played the role of the police and the role is tailormade for him. He elevated the scenes with his performance during the pre climax creating a laughing riot. Others like Thagubotu Ramesh, Anish Kuruvilla performed their roles according to the narration.Mareechika (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMareechika Story is penned by Lakshmi Bhupala and it is directed by Satish Kasestty. The story is simple but he tried to turn it into a crime thriller adding delusional elements and also schizophrenia disease symptoms. The entire story revolves around a single point and he tries to excite viewers with confusing screenplay.To some extent he emerged successful but with the passage of time, one gets a feeling that the story is not moving any further. He tried to make up for it with hilarious scene in the police station during the preclimax. The entire first half is dragged with the love scenes featuring the lead pairs. The interval twist sets the tone for the second half. The pace picks up in the second half but the so called twists can be easily predicted.The music for the film is tuned by Ilayaraja. The songs looked like serial songs and offered nothing new. and the background music turned out to be a huge disappointment. One cannot believe that Ilayaraja scored the music for the film. The cinematography of Arvind Kannabiran is good. He showed the scenes in a realistic manner adding aesthetic elements. The editing of Junaid Siddiqui could have been better as there are many repetitive scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are outdated and production values are average.Mareechika Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e412a3a4235e6a9eca9cd20583248b9cf">Regina and Anupama</li><li data-list-item-id="eb3471abe0f627f98c42f6a67891a17e6">Few Twists</li></ul>Mareechika Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e6ab5980ccf515889ed2b69ab057a162b">Non linear screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="e1baf87b89b9aa7526d0f74bd2f735b84">Confusing Narration</li><li data-list-item-id="e0410c0651a7d47f22cec0bd3eb865524">Predictable Elements</li></ul>Mareechika (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Mareechika turns out to be a predictable crime thriller. Though Anupama Parameswaran came up with spirited performance, director Satish Kasetty and writer Lakshmi Bhupala came up with an outdated story. Everything turned substandard, be it the predictable twists, performances and to the top of it, the slow pace with unnecessary scenes. The substandard production values harmed the film quality. Screenplay turned out to be decent and little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay along with doing away with unnecessary elements would have added value. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Mareechika.

Kattalan (2026) Movie: What's BehindKattalan - Antony Varghese Malayalam starrer Kattalan is releasing on 28 Aug 2026. The film directed by Paul George is produced by Shareef Muhammed who earlier came up with the most violent film Marco. Let us see what Kattalan offered to movie lovers.Kattalan (2026) Movie: Story ReviewKattalan story revolves around clash for supremacy between two rival gangs to control the ivory cartel and developments there after. Mari (Sunil) weilds iron like grip in the forests of Aanakolli, a hamlet located in the woods adjoining the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border, controlling the ivory cartel and Eddy (Kabir Duhan Singh) is hellbent on eliminating him and ruling it. Where this leads to and what role Antony Varghese (Antony Varghese Pepe) play, form the interesting part.Kattalan (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAntony Varghese is an unknown entity to Telugu viewers except for those who watch Malayalam films on OTT. He did full justice to his role. But the moment he started delivering dialogues it looks like he is out to complete them at a go for the fear of forgetting the same.Sunil played the important role in the film. Sunil's role offered nothing new and had shades of Pushpa and the roles he played there after. Much to the surprise of all, he also gets a special song.Kabir Duhan Singh played an inconsequential role. One of the villian Parth Tiwari looks funny when he delivers dialogues. Out of nowhere Dushara Vijayan appears in the second half weilding a gun.Others like Jagadeesh, Siddhique, Hanan Shaah, Hipzter, Anson Paul,Raj Tirandasu, Shon joy etc performed according to their roles.Kattalan (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewKattalan story is penned by Paul George. He came up with a routine and weak story and from then on it fails on all fronts. He just mixed all the scenes from various hit films and included action elements. Everything looks senseless and mindless and one gets a feeling that he has taken movie lovers for granted insulting their IQ levels.The background music is scored by Ravi Basrur. He just followed the same template he used for KGF, Salaar and others. At times it made an impact and most of the time, it turned out to be loud and jarring.Kattalan Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e1ba876f95f32fff9c061f94ed086e749">Few Action Blocks</li></ul>Kattalan Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e7f57c57e79994e7d7b9275b07d849b98">Missing Emotions</li><li data-list-item-id="ee22019eecc54c9b2e762fc1008949f6c">Story, Screenplay, Direction</li></ul>Kattalan (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Kattalan turns out to be poor replica of hit smuggling films. Director Paul George offered nothing new and he lifted scenes from various hit films and just changed the actors. To the top of it, the film lacked the strong emotions that play important role in the success of the film. With the weak story, screenplay and direction went for a toss. Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 1 rating for Kattalan.&nbsp;

Kattalan Review

Blast Zone (2026) Movie: What's BehindAction King Arjun's action Entertainer Blast Zone released on 28 May 2026. The film is directed by Subash K Raj.The film's OTT rights have been bagged by OTT giant Netflix, and streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. Let us see what impact the film made on movie lovers.Blast Zone (2026) Movie: Story ReviewBlast Zone story revolves around a middle class family and the happenings in their life and how it is connected to high profile project involving influential people. Nila (Priety Mukundhan) is raised as a fearless girl since her childhood and is well trained in martial arts. However one incident changes not only her life but also her parents Rajaram (Arjun Sarja) and Neelavenni (Abhirami Gopikumar).What is that incident and ho it is connected to renowned industrialist Varun Dayalan (John Kokken), Abraham (Arjun Chidambaram), Ilango (Vivek Prasanna) and others form rest of the narration.Blast Zone (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewArjun Sarja is known for his versatile performances and after a longtime he donned an action avatar. He looked slim and fit and his physique becomes the talking point. He showed good emotions and delivered dialogues accordingly and enacted action sequences while protecting his family.Priety Mukundhan played a completely different role. She deviated from her known glamor roles and performed well as a brave daughter who doesn't tolerate any injustice to anyone. She enacted high octane stunts with ease. Abhirami Gopikumar performed well as a mother who has concerns for her daughter's safety and future plans, marriage etc and the twist that comes with her role surprises all.Arun Chidambaram looked stylish in the role of a villain. Others like John Kokken performed according to their roles.Blast Zone (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewBlast Zone story is penned by Subash K Raj. He came up with a simple story of how a family tries to protect themselves when on attack from dreaded gangsters. Many such films came earlier but Subhash K Raj narrated it in a different manner trying to send message to the society.He showed father training his daughter to be brave and not to tolerate any injustice not only to the family but others in the society despite mother expressing her own fears. He also highlighted the importance of martial arts and how it will be helpful as a self defence system.He started the narration in &nbsp;a gripping manner and then the narration and screenplay turns racy throughout the first half. The first half ends in a decent manner setting the stage for the second half. The second half also treads in a similar manner but pace dips at times and due to few repetitive and dragged scenes. The climax too turns out to be weak.Arun Radhakrishnan's cinematography is good. He used the camera angles and color combinations to perfection do give a natural and realistic feel. Ravi Basrur's background music is impactful and added value to the narration. The editing of Pradeep E Ragav is decent enough except for few drags here and there and repetitive scenes.

Arjun Sarja, Preity Mukundhan and Abhirami came up with energetic and spirited performances. Director Subash K Raj turned the simple story into a powerful actioner blending martial arts in a family drama. He should be given credit for giving powerful roles to the female actors.

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.

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.

But illogical scenes, predictable elements played the spoilsport though there are some good thought provoking dialogues. 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. At times he got more screen presence. 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;

Kaalidasa aka Kaali aka KD (Dhruva Sarja) due to circumstances starts idolising &nbsp;Dhak Deva (Sanjay Dutt), who weilds an iron like grip in and around Bengaluru.Where this leads to and what roles, KD's lady love Machhlakshmi (Reeshma Nanaiah), his brother Dharma (Ramesh Aravind), Satyavati (Shilpa Shetty), Annayyappa (V.Ravichandran), Rudra Mishra (Jisshu Sen Gupta) and Kaala Bhairava (Sudeepa) form the interesting part.KD: The Devil (2026) Movie - Artists ReviewKD-The Devil Movie Hero Dhruva Sarja performed well in the role and showed good variations in his expressions and body language according to the situation. 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. Production values are good.KD: The Devil - Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e92babcd81e28be7d5eb51504ffcfe5b2">Dhruva Sarja to some extent</li><li data-list-item-id="e58a15cd31a17e29446bbea0df5beb39e">Kiccha Sudeep Cameo </li><li data-list-item-id="e4fb73d1cab0cda4bd25390c846c68061">Couple of Action Blocks</li></ul>KD: The Devil - Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e774d096b6696162bf1c30e137593971d">Predictable Story</li><li data-list-item-id="e10426125bfffb2f67a3163f679a5987f">BGM </li><li data-list-item-id="e97d70c5895279b51dfc65fcabe7e0f94">Loud Dialogues </li><li data-list-item-id="ebf562b0ca6082677383313dab666cfac">Extreme Violence</li></ul>KD: The Devil (2026) Movie - Rating AnalysisAltogether, KD-The Devil turns out to be a complete disappointment. 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.

KD: The Devil Review

&nbsp;Harudu (2026) Movie: What's BehindHarudu Movie Hero Yesteryear hero Venkat, Hebha Patel's Harudu directed by Raj Thalliri hit the scenes on 15 May 2026. 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.
