Anna Lezhneva, wife of Dy CM of AP, Pawan Kalyan, speaking to scribes about her feelings when Pawan Kalyan entered politics.Anna posted pictures and videos from Pawan’s 2024 swearing-in ceremony, which was attended by her and his children from his previous marriage to Renu Desai, Akira Nandan and Aadhya Konidela. She wrote, “#pawankalyananenenu. What a journey this has been. People see victory. Photos. Smiles. Celebrations. Headlines. But very few see the years behind it. The exhaustion. The humiliation. The uncertainty. The days and nights when it felt like the entire world was against him. They insulted him. Mocked him. Questioned him. Called him names.”She revealed “And while he was out there fighting battles in public, I was at home trying to stay strong for our children, often feeling completely alone. There were days I wanted to break down too. Days I was scared. Days I wondered how much more one person could endure for what he believed in. But we kept going. Not because it was easy. Not because it made life comfortable. But because some people simply cannot betray their conscience.”She added “And maybe that is why the victory felt so emotional. Not political. Human. Years of pain turning into one single moment. I still remember standing there with tears in my eyes… and even Modi ji noticed me crying (see the photo in my previous post). They were tears of joy and pure happiness. Because sometimes God allows people to be broken, humiliated and tested for years… only to return their dignity in front of the whole world.”She summed it up with, “And if you ask me what I felt in that moment? Just pride. Pride in the man who refused to give up. So proud of you @pawankalyan.”

The sports action drama has already become the top-earning South Indian film of the year by beating Karuppu. In just nine days it collected 366 crore rupees worldwide. With strong weekend numbers the movie is now close to crossing the 400 crore mark.Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi is set in the late 1990s and tells a story about sports, community pride and fighting against odds. AR Rahman composed the music. Janhvi Kapoor plays the female lead along with Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu Sharma and Boman Irani in key roles.The film is getting a lot of attention online with posters claiming record numbers. Ram Charan carried the film with his strong screen presence and physical training for the sports scenes. The story tries to talk about identity and marginalization through the sport of kabaddi, but also uses many regular commercial film elements. The movie is doing best in Telugu states where Charan has a huge fan base.Some scenes involving Janhvi Kapoor character received criticism after release and the makers made edits later. This shows the film struggled a bit with modern audience expectations while aiming to be a mass entertainer. Overall Peddi is a clear commercial hit. While it may not be perfect, Ram Charan performance and the emotional sports story are keeping audiences coming back to theatres.

&nbsp;&nbsp;Star heroine Samantha Ruth Prabhu film Maa Inti Bangaram is getting ready for release and the buzz is getting bigger every day. Directed by Nandini Reddy, this lady oriented movie is a Telugu family story with action inspired by Hollywood classic Kill Bill. The posters, teaser and other promos have already pulled a lot of attention. Samantha plays a strong role with two sides that lead to key twists in the story.The film is made fully on her image and acting without a big male star, which makes it very important for her career. If it works, it can become another milestone for Samantha in the lady oriented genre. Trade talk says Maa Inti Bangaram now has a big plus at the box office because competition looks less.Earlier reports said the Akkineni hero film Lenin would also release in the last week of June and clash with Samantha movie. But now film circles say Lenin release may shift to July as patch work is not done and theatrical deals are still under talk. If Lenin moves out, Maa Inti Bangaram can get more screens and shows in the first two weeks.Analysts feel that if the film gets good talk after release, it can hold well in week two too. With fewer big films around the same time, Samantha movie has a better chance to grab the full audience attention and do strong collections.

The film also has a star studded cast of Jagapathi Babu, Shiva Rajkumar, Boman Irani in key roles.Ram Charan after creating a sensation with Rajamouli's magnum opus RRR and won the accolades at international level, failed to set the screens on fire with his next project Game Changer with ace director Shankar. The film turned out to be a disaster. To the top of it, even his cameo in his father Chiranjeevi's Acharya failed to power the film. Can Ram Charan reverse the trend and flex his muscles to score success at the box office as Peddi? Can Ram Charan with Peddi revive the sinking Tollywood market and breath a fresh lease of life. Let us findout all that in the review and what Ram Charan offered to movie lovers with Peddi.Peddi (2026) Movie: Story ReviewPeddi story revolves around a youngster who fights for recognition for his remote village which was not even recognised by Government of India. Peddi (Ram Charan) works as a contract labor and represents anyone who wins him over the action in the sport of Cricket.Peddi's life takes a darstic turn due to shocking happenings and where this leads to, what role Achiyamma (Janhvi Kapoor), Ram Bujji (Divyenndu Sharma), Appalasoori (Jagapathi Babu), Sports Authority of India Chairman Baiswal (Boman Irani), renowned wrestler Gournaidu (Shiva Rajkumar), Sisodiya (Ravi Kishan), Subhadraraju (Rao Ramesh), Bhadra (Tarak Ponnappa), Ammapalli (Ashutosh Rana) and others form rest of the narration.Peddi (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewRam Charan virtually lived in the role. He stuns with his transformation in physique as a cricketer and wrestler. He stunned with his emotional performance and at times expressed himself through his eyes. He delivered emotional dialogues with ease and impresses with his body language and screen presence. He danced like never before in dances, and the choreography elevated his dance moves to the next level. He carried the film on his shoulders and elevated the scenes to the next level with his performance.Janhvi Kapoor got an inconsequential role and is confined to irresponsible glamor treat. Her character lacked the basic character. Jagapathi Babu performed well in an emotional role tailormade for him. Divyenndu Sharma's role starts in an interesting manner but fizzles out as time progresses.Shiva Rajkumar is good in the role of a wrestler. He made his presence felt. Others like ,Boman Irani, Ravi Kishan, Satya, John Vijay, Ajay Ghosh,Upendra Limaye, Aadukalem Naren,Tarak Ponnappa,Mahesh Achanta performed according to their characters..Peddi (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewPeddi story is penned by Buchi Babu Sana. The narration starts with the quest for talented sportsmen after debacle of the country in the Olympics. Ram Charan is introduced in a mass manner and the love track follows along with the buildup to the rivalry. The entire first half is loaded with mass elements, but the runup to the interval and interval bang though predictable, excites all setting the tone for the second half.All the cricket matches though shot impressively lacked the wow factor except for the presence of Ram Charan. There are many actors in the film and they just appear and go in an insignificant manner. The moment Janhvi is introduced, it brings down the intensity and pace of the narration impacting the overall output.The second half also starts in the similar manner but the emotions that appear drives the story forward. In the process of elevating the emotions, the pace dipped drastically. The second half special song makes one wonder whether Buchi Babu Sana is set to end the film on a predictable note, but he comes with a surprise here and from then on the screenplay takes a new turn.Ram Charan's impactful screenpresence takes viewers on an emotional ride till the end of the film.Ram Charan's performance in the climax moves all to the core and the film then ends on a predictable tone.Oscar winner Rahman AR scored the music. After along time he came up with foottapping numbers and sent a message that Rahman is back.The songs are well choreographed and shot in the backdrop of breathtaking visuals. He made an impact with his background music.Ratnavelu turned the film into an appealing one with his cinematography. He showed the rural atmosphere quite well and the sports scenes in an adequate manner.The editing of Naveen Nooli is ok but one gets a feeling that it is not smooth as few scenes end in an abrupt manner. Some of the dialogues are powerful and hardhitting but consistency is missing. Vriddhi Cinemas production values are quite good.Peddi Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e54c794b68c333a6311dac4e799c6ce15">Ram Charan</li><li data-list-item-id="e104fd8b3f4267fc09e70d27d3db343ae">Songs and BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e9c58770d50870c5da669340c3acc43ae">Emotional Scenes</li><li data-list-item-id="e17dce9c8e4bd255fcf430b995f5e5554">Message</li></ul>Peddi Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e09fa1147bda4887d870ad62161c586e1">Illogical Scenes</li><li data-list-item-id="ed36c564fbeb73bd5c50441c7f44178a3">Weak Characters</li></ul>Peddi (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Peddi turns out to be a powerful emotional sports based entertainer. Ram Charan's sincerity, dedication and hardwork is seen on the screen in his performance. He powered the film to new heights with his performance. Buchi Babu Sana loaded the film with mass elements for more than 75% of the film keeping in view , Ram Charan's stardom and fan following. He elevated Ram Charan's style and mannerisms on the screen. But this at times impacted the story and narration. However, in the second half, he showed his mettle during that last 25% with thought provoking dialogues, natural and realistic emotions and strong message to the society. Screenplay turned out tobe decent and Buchi Babu Sana tried to elevate it with the shock factor. A little finetuning of the script and doing away with unnecessary and illogical scenes, Peddi would have got more firepower. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 3 star rating for Peddi.

He came up with an interesting concept but while trying to narrate it on the screen, he ended up confusing the viewers. More than the story he concentrated on VFX and at times used AI to generate the required VFX. The backstory and Trikala generates interest at the start but right after that he ends up confusing with non linear screenplay.The first half has been dragged to the core and the slow pace impacted the output. Though some clarity comes in the second half, it turns out to be routine with psychpath kind of elevations and monotonous scenes. The film lacked the natural feel and everything looks artificial in the end.Pavan Chenna's cinematography is ok. Harshavardhan Rameshwar's music also fall in the same zone. Song on mother is ok. Director Mani Tellaguti himself handled the editing and it turned out to be a huge let down. He should have done away with many unnecessary scenes.

Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with 2 rating for Trikala - Script of God.&nbsp;

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.

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;

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. Dialogues are thoughprovoking, inspirational and motivational. Production values are of high standards.Blast Zone Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e7f19ceeb59264b1f8a798cae24737782">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="e93d38bf0a78f8ef6e9f0e2d1ac33b7a1">Action Sequences</li><li data-list-item-id="e439bcff491692e5936e9b81f7f72870a">Second Half</li></ul>Blast Zone Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eebd3733179e77715360acaada16f7682">Simple Story</li><li data-list-item-id="e266db3e39796fa5a56bff35f19a944fe">Predictable Elements</li><li data-list-item-id="e7a795745bc78f4d33377f8bacca8b328">An Unreachable Title</li></ul>Blast Zone (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Blast Zone turns out to be interesting martial arts action entertainer. 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. A strong villian and even intense climax would have taken the film to another level. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Blast Zone.

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

The film directed by Veeru Vulavala is releasing on 22 May 2026. Purushaha OTT rights are yet to be inked and details will be revealed at a later date.

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 at time she looked artificial, pale and jaded. Despite playing the role of a blind girl, she expressed herself quite well and impressed with her screenpresence. The dialogues penned for her character are thought provoking and motivational.Surya Vashistta did well in the role of a person confined to the wheelchair and showed the trauma and agony quite well. Sreenivas Reddy got a different and impactful role and he elevated the scenes showing good emotions. Shyamala did well in the role and is impactful. Chaitu Jonnalagadda is ok in the role of the doctor and so is Prabhavathi.Ramani Kalyanam (2026) Movie: Technical ReviewRamani Kalyanam story is penned by Vijay Adireddy. He tried to send the message to the society with this emotional love story that disability shouldn't be an obstacle in the success and one shouldn't stop progressing brooding over the past happenings.The first half starts with the introduction of various characters and the blossoming of love between the lead pair before the interval twist. But the routine shades and slow pace ended up testing the patience of the viewers. The entire second half is loaded with emotional content. The twist in the pre climax is good and the climax turns out to be emotional.There are many unnecessary scenes that defies logic and also the conflict is not shown in &nbsp;a convincing manner. The relationship and connection to four kids and the granny is not shown properly.Aravind Thirukovela with his cinematography turned the scenes colorful and visually appealing on the screen. Sooraj S Kurup's songs are just average. He however made up for it with his background music adding value to the narration. Ram Jagadeesh's dialogues are relevant, interesting and motivational. Editing of Raviteja Giriala left a lot to be desired. Though the film's duration is less, the editing made it feel like the film is never ending. Production values are fine.Ramani Kalyanam: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e51cd58c80874a499bc0ab2ec0047585f">Deepshikha Chandran</li><li data-list-item-id="ed46bcd4e643d8263b2354895231c77c8">Few Dialogues</li></ul>Ramani Kalyanam: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e19cdf6d779c9d5861d7e8c238924100c">Slow Pace</li><li data-list-item-id="e39577f124824c7f59e5c40d21ac54f14">Predictable Elements</li><li data-list-item-id="e906aafc900b76ea61b7bfebff7f91f68">Missing Logics</li></ul>Ramani Kalyanam (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Ramani Kalyanam, fails to make a strong impact due to routine shades. Director Vijay Adireddy tried to send message to the youngsters through the emotional love story that disability is not a hindrance to the success in life. 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;
