<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">Devagudi story revolves around a faction-based family who is staunchly protected by his trusted aide from their enemies and the happenings in his life and how he overcomes the difficult situation. Dharma (Abhinav Shourya) works under the influential family headed by Veera Reddy&nbsp; (Raghu Kunche) who is respected in Devagudi and who is under the constant threat from his enemies like Kondreddy (Raghu Babu) and others.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">Dharma shares good bonding with Veera Reddy's son Raghava Reddy (Narasimha Toshi), daughter Swetha(Anusri). Where their relations lead to and how it impacts the lives of Subhadra (Rajasri Nair), Laxman (Lakshman Meesala) and others form rest of the narration.</p>

<h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">Devagudi (2026) Movie: Artists Review</h2>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">Abhinav Shourya came up with an impactful performance. He showed good expressions and emotions and came up with variations according to the situation. He enacted stunts with ease and sported a rugged and mass look to make an impact.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">Raghu Kunche played a completely different role. He sported a different avatar and with his dialogue delivery and screenpresence along with his experience carried the scenes taking the film forward.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">Anusri is good in the role of the female lead while Narasimha Toshi played the role of the friend with ease. Others like Rajasri Nair, Annapurna, Raghu Babu, Lakshman Meesala performed according to their roles.</p>

<h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">Devagudi (2026) Movie: Technicians Review</h2>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">Devagudi story is penned by Bellam Ramakrishna Reddy. He came up with a typical faction entertainer and he drew inspiration from many earlier hit films. Viewers were witness to many such films and they find nothing new in the film. However, he generated interest with an interesting start.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">He kept the interest levels of the viewers intact for the major part of the first half. The first half included intense elements and the action sequences are well choreographed and executed on the screen. The first half ends with a predictable twist setting the stage for the second half.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">The second half, however, narration nosedives with disjoint screenplay and confusing elements. Everything is shown in a haphazard manner, and the logics were missed manytimes. What surprises all is the protagonist goes missing completely. Finally, the film ends with the first half intensity getting completely diluted in the second half.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">Lakshmi Kanth Kanike's cinematography is good. He showed the scenes in a natural and realistic manner. Nagi Reddy's editing is is ok in the first half but went awry in the second half. There are many repetitive scenes and drags that impacted the flow of the narration. Music of Madeen SK is just ok. He kept in mind the commercial elements and came up with one item song, one festival song and a romantic song. His background score added value to the narration. Production values are good.</p>

<h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">Devagudi Movie: Advantages</h2>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">Altogether, Devagudi turns out to be an outdated faction story. Abhinav Surya comes with an impactful performance and did justice to his role. However, director Bellam Ramakrishna Reddy came up with the tried and tested faction story and it lacked the freshness and novelty. He drew inspiration from many earlier hit films and offered nothing new. Had he come up with a new idea and worked on the script, things would have been different. Considering all these aspects,&nbsp;<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Devagudi</span>.</p>

<p>Shriya on being tagged as South Actress. Shriya speaking to scribes, shared her thoughts on being tagged as South Actress. She said&nbsp; &ldquo;I was born in Haridwar. I lived there for 17 years of my life. Then I moved to Delhi, so I could learn Kathak from Shovana Narayan ji. That was a huge move at that point in time. Then I started acting when I was 17. And that was a huge step for my family because my dad\'s an engineer, mom\'s a teacher in DPS, and it was like &lsquo;what!?&rsquo;&rdquo;</p>\r\n<p>She added&nbsp; &ldquo;Because I was a small-town girl in Delhi, it was a cultural shock for me. From there to LSR and then when I went to sets, learning new languages, all of that, I feel really prepared me for life&rdquo;</p>\r\n<p>Shriya continued&nbsp; &ldquo;The kind of love South has given me really makes me blessed. My heart is South Indian, I feel.&rdquo;</p>\r\n<p>She added&nbsp; &ldquo;One of the things that I learned is that you are what you believe yourself to be. If you keep growing and learning and let life teach you things, you start living it better. But if you start thinking life is coming at you, or it\'s attacking you because people think like that for you, or they are boxing you, then it\'ll become a battle. While you can actually use it as a kind of flavour that this is what they think of me; this is my flavour.&rdquo;</p>\r\n<p>Shriya continued &ldquo;People start saying these things or start boxing you, is when they\'re noticing you. Then you break that, and you become something else.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Actress Komalee Prasad has announced her Tamil debut with Mandavetti, a powerful female-led supernatural crime thriller, marking a significant new chapter in her evolving cinematic journey. Sharing a heartfelt message seeking the love and blessings of her audience, Komalee described the project as one she and the team are deeply proud of, even as details are being kept under wraps.</p>\r\n<p>Produced by Tuskers Den Pictures and directed by Saranraj Senthilkumar, Mandavetti has officially gone on floors following a traditional pooja ceremony. Principal photography is currently underway in Usilampatti, Madurai district of Tamil Nadu, where the cast and crew have assembled to bring this performance-driven narrative to life.</p>\r\n<p>Komalee&rsquo;s announcement marks a new phase as she steps into a different language and cinematic space with Mandavetti. The film, a supernatural crime thriller, blends elements of mysticism with human emotion and is built around a singular female perspective. Performance-centric in approach, the narrative explores themes of loss, identity, and survival, requiring both physical presence and emotional control from its lead, with Komalee positioned firmly at the centre of the film&rsquo;s psychological and narrative core.</p>\r\n<p>Director Saranraj Senthilkumar, known for his work on Vella Kuthira, brings a cinematic sensibility rooted in atmosphere and psychological tension. His approach to Mandavetti is mood-driven and unconventional, with a strong emphasis on restraint, texture, and character interiority. The supernatural elements function not as spectacle, but as extensions of the protagonist&rsquo;s inner landscape, reinforcing the film&rsquo;s emotional and thematic undercurrents.</p>\r\n<p>The supporting cast includes Thenappan, Gajaraj, and Amritha, each contributing to the film&rsquo;s layered emotional framework. The technical crew features cinematographer Prakash, editor Kuna, music director Deepak Venugopal, and stunt choreographer Gowtham, all collaborating to ensure the film&rsquo;s vision is realised with precision and craft.</p>\r\n<p>This Tamil debut marks a natural progression in Komalee Prasad&rsquo;s career, which has been defined by a preference for roles rooted in authenticity and emotional intelligence. Her filmography includes Telugu features such as Napoleon, Rowdy Boys, Sebastian P.C. 524, HIT: The Second Case, HIT: The Third Case, and Sasivadane. She has also earned critical attention in the digital space with performances in Loser (ZEE5), Modern Love Hyderabad (Amazon Prime Video), and Touch Me Not (JioHotstar).</p>\r\n<p>Across mediums, Komalee&rsquo;s screen presence has consistently leaned toward inner life rather than surface display, earning recognition for her ability to carry narrative weight with restraint and honesty. With Mandavetti, she enters Tamil Cin&eacute;ma not as a crossover gesture, but as a performer taking on a demanding, central role that reflects her evolving artistic choices.</p>\r\n<p>As production progresses, Mandavetti is shaping up to be a distinctive entry in contemporary Tamil genre cinema, one that foregrounds character, atmosphere, and a strong female point of view. Further announcements regarding the film&rsquo;s progress are expected in the coming months.</p>

He didnot make much changes to the original story but took due care to add Godavari accent, their wit and worked hard to give a fresh feel. Though at times, one can easily find the original shades, the performances of Tharun Bhascker and Eesha Rebba ensured that this willnot turn into a drawback.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">The first half starts at a snails pace and one wonder where this serial type narration takes viewers into. But the entry of Tharun Bhaskcer changes everything and from then on narration moves ahead smoothly till the interval twist. The screenplay turns out to be decent. The second half sets the stage for the face off between the male and the female lead and it is handled quite well though at times, the scenes are dragged a bit. Finally with few emotional scenes and the interesting climax, the story ends on a decent note.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">The background score of Jay Krish added value to the narration. It gave a fresh feel and takes viewers into the story. The cinematography of Deepak Yaragera captured the Godavari locations in a beautiful manner and gave a realistic feel to the proceedings. Editing is decent enough though at times there are few drags and at times impacted the flow of the narration. Dialogues are good and production values are fine.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">Altogether, Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi turns out to be a decent entertainer. Tharun Bhascker and Eesha Rebba came up with spirited performances and director AR.Sajeev did justice to the Malayalam remake Jaya Jaya Jayahe. Those who watched the film, find it nothing new and boring but those who haven't seen it will enjoy it, though at times, the narration dragged a bit. Had the film been original, Tharun Bhascker and Eesha Rebba would have been credited with a decent hit. However the remake brought down their spirited performances a little bit.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">But Sajeev should be commended for doing full justice for elevating the Telugu nativity in Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi and managing to entertain viewers with the remake. Considering all these aspects,&nbsp;<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi</span>.</p>
