The film directed by Nelson Venkatesan is releasing on 18 July 2025. The film\'s OTT rights have been bagged by Jio Cinema and Hotstar. Let us see how the film entertained movie lovers.\r\nMy Baby(2025) Movie: Story Review\r\nMy Baby story revolves around the fate of two children who had been swapped at birth. Parents of Anand (Atharva Murali) and Divya (Nimisha Sajayan), get their children married in the hope that they will overcome their psychological disorders.\r\nPrior to their marriage, Anand suffers a breakup and becomes an alcoholic while Divya suffers from the borderline personality disorder for which both are mocked and made fun of. What changes their marriage brings in their lives and those surrounding them from the rest of the narration.\r\nMy Baby(2025) Movie: Artists Review\r\nAtharva Murali slipped into the role effortlessly. He showed variations in his expressions and emotions and delivered dialogues accordingly. He showed traits as a drunkard and then how he transformed himself as a father who craves for his missing baby. Nimisha Sajayan performed well in the role of a person suffering from borderline personality disorder. She made an impact in the emotional scenes after she became a mother.\r\nZeeshan Ayyub, Balaji Sakthivel, Ramesh Thilak, Viji Chandrasekhar, Chetan, Riythvika, Subramaniam Siva and Karunakaran and others performed according to their roles.\r\nMy Baby(2025) Movie: Technicians Review\r\nMy Baby story is penned by Nelson Venkatesan and tries to thrill viewers by coming up with a thriller that is grounded and realistic. He starts the narration in an interesting way but he overstretched showing the lead actor as an alcoholic which he could have avoided. To establish his character, he included a bar song and a few scenes but they dragged to the core.\r\nThen the narration takes a convenient path and the screenplay turns predictable. Same is the case with the female lead character. The interest levels increase only after the marriage of the lead pair. Director dwells on various issues like postpartum depression, psychosis and how a father tries to identify the newborn baby. The screenplay turns racy from this situation increasing the curiosity levels.\r\nHe showed the investigation scenes quite well but it also suffers from loopholes and clich&eacute;d narration. The breakup sequences, serial-like climax and the forced special song robbed the viewers of all the thrills.\r\nGhibran Vaibodha with his background score added value to the narration. He managed to elevate the scenes to the next level. The music is tuned by Sreekanth Hariharan , Sathya Prakash , Anal Akash , Praveen Saivi , Sahi Siva is just ok. Songs at times turned out to be the speed breakers. Editing of Sabu Joseph could have been far better as there are many repetitive scenes in the film. Dialogues are ok and production values are good.\r\nMy Baby(2025) Movie: Advantages\r\nPerformances\r\nBGM\r\nCinematography\r\nMy Baby(2025) Movie: Disadvantages\r\nClich&eacute;d Narration\r\nSerial Climax\r\nSlow Pace\r\nMy Baby(2025) Movie: Rating Analysis\r\nAltogether, My Baby with few thrills and surprises connects with family viewers. Director Nelson Venkatesan got an interesting story and got good performances from the cast and crew. A racy screenplay, doing away with the clich&eacute;s, would have made a more powerful impact. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for My Baby.\r\n<div></div>

Kothapallilo Okappudu(2025) Movie: What's Behind

Kothapallilo Okappudu is generating immense interest though it features newcomers baking their debut on the screen as Hot Hunk Rana known for his penchant to promote feel good entertainers, decided to present the film. Kothapallilo Okappudu's OTT rights have been bagged by Aha. Let us see what Kothapallilo Okappudu offered to movie lovers.

Kothapallilo Okappudu(2025) Movie: Story Review

Kothapallilo Okappudu story revolves around a youngster's search for a dancer following his bad experience in a village concert and his experiences thereafter.

Rama Krishna ( Manoj Chandra) ego runs a recording dance troupe, goes on a&nbsp; search of a beautiful female dancer. He decides to convince beautiful girl Savitri (Monika), granddaughter of landlord Reddy (Bannerjee) to be the female dancer.

This leads to a shocking twist in his life. To find out more about it and how it is connected to Appanna ( Rahul Vijay), Aadi Lakshmi ( Usha Bonela),his friends Satyam, Chitti Babu (Shining Phani, Bongu Satti) and others form rest of the narration.

Kothapallilo Okappudu(2025) Movie: Artists Review

Manoj Chandra on debut came out with flying colours. He performed like a seasoned actor and showed variations in expressions and mannerisms. He delivered dialogues with ease and his dialogue delivery is good. He emoted well according to the situation. He tried to express through his eyes and most of the time, he emerged successful.

Monika played the female lead and she did a decent job. She looked good on the screen but she got limited screen presence. Usha Bonela stole the show with her accent, dialogue delivery, expressions and mannerisms. She connected chords with all sections of movie lovers.

Shining Phani and Bongu Sathi did well in the role of the lead actor's friends. Bannerjee is good in the role of the village landlord while Ravindra Vijay made a powerful impact with his performance. Without turning loud, he delivered dialogues and with killer expressions turned out to be the silent killer.

Babu Mohan evoked few laughs with his screen presence and antics in the role of an MLA and so too did Satyam Rajesh with his cameo in the role of a land owner. Others performed according to their roles.

Kothapallilo Okappudu(2025) Movie: Technicians Review

Kothapallilo Okappudu story is penned by Praveena Paruchuri. He planned to come with a hilarious rural entertainer. Praveena Paruchuri starts the narration on a serious note with the introduction of various characters, and the romantic track excites all with good dialogues and scenes. The first half passes off smoothly with a decent screenplay and direction and a good interval twist.

From then on, the story takes a completely different turn, and one gets a feeling that the director drew inspiration from earlier films like Tuk Tuk. The second half assumes a more serious note and entertaining elements take the backstage, thus robbing viewers of the fun elements.

Few scenes got repetitive and few turned illogical acting as the stumbling block in the narration. Finally the story ends on a predictable tone. Kiran himself turned the editor for the film and out of love for his story; he might have left few drags in the narration which turned preachy. Had he done with them along with including few logics, things would have been different.

Petros Antoniadis who handled the cinematography showed the rural atmosphere in a natural and realistic manner. He used the colour combinations quite well to create an impact. Varun Unni's background music is in sync with the story. He took the viewers along with him with his background music.

Mani Sharma captivated all with his music and tunes. Couple of songs are foot tapping and are shot in an appealing way. They are well choreographed. Dialogues penned by Gurukiran Bathula are good and relatable. It made an impact instantly on the screen. Production values are good.

Kothapallilo Okappudu(2025) Movie: Rating Analysis

Altogether, Kothapallilo Okappudu turns out to be a rustic rural entertainer. Director Praveena Paruchuri came up with a relatable story in the village backdrop and got the optimum out of the cast and crew. Aided with the spirited performances, he managed to entertain viewers to some extent with hilarious scenes, entertaining dialogues but after sometime loses steam with few illogical scenes and slow narration. Little racy screenplay would have added value to the final result. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Kothapallilo Okappudu.

Rana Daggubati\'s tequila brand Loca Loka, co-founded with Anirudh Ravichander and Sreeharsha Vadlamudi, is all set to make its debut in India this October. The brand will first launch in Dubai in September before entering tier-1 cities across India. According to Anirudh, the aim is to build a global brand by producing original Mexican tequila with complete control over the product.\r\nThe co-founders of Loca Loka plan to establish the brand in mature markets before entering India. Rana stated that the brand will be a global entity first, and then it will come to India after being consumed in mature tequila-drinking countries for 12 months. The brand has already experienced significant growth in the US market, thanks to support from the Indian diaspora. Sreeharsha claimed that the brand has seen 10x growth in 2024 in the US and has won several awards, including a gold and silver at the San Francisco Spirits Awards.\r\nIn India, Loca Loka plans to start by targeting duty-free stores at airports. The brand has a deal with GMR Airports and will be available at Hyderabad and Delhi airports in a few weeks. The pricing is expected to be competitive with legacy players like Diageo\'s Don Julio brand, which launched in India earlier this year. The brand will offer two variants, Blanco and Reposado, and is expected to make a significant impact in the Indian market.\r\nMeanwhile, Rana Daggubati has been busy with his acting projects. He was last seen in Rana Naidu Season 2 alongside Daggubati Venkatesh, Surveen Chawla, and Arjun Rampal, which streams on Netflix. He has also collaborated with the makers of Baahubali to present actor Ram Pothineni\'s upcoming Telugu film.

He said &ldquo;If The Kashmir Files shocked audiences, The Bengal Files will haunt them for a long time due to its intense emotional depth,&rdquo;\r\nAbhishek Agerwal added \"The production team has already shared archival newspaper clippings featuring headlines like &ldquo;5,00,000 Muslims Gathered in the Largest Ever Muslim Assembly for the Direct Action Day&rdquo; on August 16, 1946. &ldquo;We are not exaggerating &mdash; we are telling the truth about what really happened during those black days,&rdquo;\r\nHe continued &ldquo;We have extensive material to support our narrative, including newspaper cuttings, video testimonies from survivors, and other historical evidence.

Cost was never a constraint because we are committed to authenticity.&rdquo;\r\nHe added \"&ldquo;I share a strong bond with National Award-winning director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri.
