Jailer 2 has created history by becoming Kollywood’s first ₹800 crore grosser, but the film could have achieved an even bigger milestone. Its OTT premiere, scheduled for November 12, has reportedly affected its theatrical run, forcing the makers to miss out on the lucrative Diwali weekend. Trade estimates suggest that the early digital release may have cost the film nearly ₹100 crore in potential box office collections.The timing of the OTT release also affected its theatre availability. With Ramayana, Suriya’s Scene and Mookuthi Amman 2 arriving during the festive season, exhibitors shifted screens to the new releases. Jailer 2 managed to collect only around ₹5 crore gross in India over the entire Diwali weekend. A two week extension of its theatrical window could have helped the film retain more screens and attract holiday audiences.The early theatrical exit also meant missing several regional records. In Tamil Nadu, the film collected just over ₹215 crore, falling short of Ponniyin Selvan 1’s reported ₹230 crore record. Its Telugu states and Karnataka collections remained close to ₹96 crore and ₹95 crore, respectively, while the worldwide gross reached approximately ₹825 crore in 25 days, missing the ₹850 crore target.The biggest missed opportunity was reportedly the Hindi market. Despite limited single screen releases and no major Hindi promotions, the film earned over ₹55 crore gross. A wider multiplex release with an eight week theatrical window could have improved its collections considerably. Trade estimates suggest another ₹30–40 crore was possible in southern markets, taking its worldwide total towards ₹950 crore or even ₹1,000 crore. Despite missing these targets, Jailer 2 has delivered a historic box office performance. - Veda&nbsp;

Venkatesh and Trivikram’s Aadarsha Kutumbam has ended up as a disappointing outing at the box office, collecting just over ₹70 crore gross worldwide. Interestingly, the film received a better response from audiences compared to Trivikram’s previous film, Guntur Kaaram. Despite decent word of mouth, it failed to attract the expected theatrical crowds.The film’s October 30 release proved to be a major setback. Arriving between Dasara and Diwali, Aadarsha Kutumbam missed a strong holiday window. Audiences had already spent heavily during Dasara and were preparing for Diwali. Cyclone related heavy rains and municipal elections in Andhra Pradesh further affected theatre occupancy during its opening days.Interestingly, Aadarsha Kutumbam was initially planned for an October 2 release, which would have given the film a better opportunity to benefit from the Dasara holiday season. A festive release could have brought more family audiences to theatres and potentially improved its opening and overall collections.Instead, the film struggled to gain momentum despite relatively positive audience feedback. With worldwide collections crossing only ₹70 crore against a reported break even target of ₹125 crore, the Venkatesh starrer is heading towards a considerable loss for its distributors. A better release date might have given it a chance to enter the ₹100 crore club. - Veda&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp; Ramayana has started its box-office journey on a strong note, but the film still has a long way to go. Given the scale of the project and the expectations surrounding it, the opening weekend was always going to be closely watched. The film has managed to pull in impressive numbers in its first four days, but the bigger question is whether it can keep the same pace in the coming days.According to Sacnilk estimates, Ramayana collected around Rs 238.85 crore nett in India during its first four days, while its worldwide gross was close to Rs 499.20 crore. Hindi has contributed the biggest share, with around Rs 172.75 crore nett. Among the dubbed versions, Kannada has collected approximately Rs 25.95 crore, slightly ahead of Telugu at Rs 23 crore. Tamil and Malayalam have added to the overall total.While the opening numbers look impressive, the expectations from Ramayana are on another level. The film's massive budget, star cast and grand presentation have put it under considerable pressure. A big opening is certainly encouraging, but the film needs to hold well during the weekdays to build a strong box-office run.The holiday advantage has helped the film in its initial days. Now, regular working days will show whether audiences are genuinely connecting with it.Ramayana has made a strong start, but the real test is whether it can keep the box office buzzing after the opening weekend.- Ashish &nbsp;

Janhvi Kapoor's recent comments about South Indian cinema have once again brought her into the spotlight, but this time the discussion is around her appreciation for Tamil films. The timing is interesting, considering that she faced criticism recently for her remarks about the working style of South Indian filmmakers. In a recent Tamil interview with her aunt Maheswari, Janhvi spoke about some of the films and filmmakers she admires. She mentioned Vijay's Pokkiri, praised Vetrimaaran's work and recalled watching Siddharth and Genelia's Bommarillu. She also spoke about several South Indian films that were remade by her father, Boney Kapoor. There is nothing unusual about an actress appreciating films from another industry. However, Janhvi's latest comments are being viewed in the context of the criticism she faced earlier. Her remarks about bound scripts and filmmaking practices in the South had not gone down well with a section of audiences. Now, some viewers are wondering whether her latest interview is simply an expression of her interest in Tamil cinema or an attempt to soften the criticism surrounding her earlier statements. While it may be unfair to assume that she is deliberately trying to repair her image, the timing has certainly invited discussion. With Peddi marking another important step in her Telugu career, Janhvi will need to win over audiences through her work rather than just her interviews.&nbsp;- Ashish

&nbsp;&nbsp;Mookuthi Amman 2 is facing a difficult box-office battle. The opening weekend numbers are now raising serious questions about its theatrical prospects. Reportedly made on a budget of around Rs 100 crore, the Nayanthara starrer has collected only about Rs 8.93 crore India net in its first three days.The film did witness a considerable jump on Sunday, collecting around Rs 4.60 crore after managing Rs 1.88 crore on Friday and Rs 2.45 crore on Saturday. However, that single-day growth does little to change the larger picture. The overall weekend total remains underwhelming for a film mounted on such a big budget.More concerning is the audience response. The underwhelming word of mouth could make it difficult for the film to maintain its Sunday momentum during the weekdays. It needs a substantial and sustained jump in collections to stay in the race.At this point, recovering the reported investment through theatrical business looks like an enormous challenge. Even a miraculous turnaround may not be enough to bridge the gap.&nbsp;- Ashish &nbsp;

Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana Part 1 starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash released as Diwali special across the world. While the film has been hailed by all for its extravagant visuals and VFX,CGI and BGM, many are saying that it missed the emotional connection.Many of those who watched also are of the opinion that Ravana's role got more screen presence than Lord Ram. Many of the Lord Ram devotees are questioning how can the makers diminish the role of Lord Ram while making Ramayana even if it is the case that the film is made in two parts.They are saying though Ravana's past and might has been shown in an interesting and gripping manner, the same is not done in case of Lord Ram. They say the director instead of researching on Lord Ram did more research on Ravana and didnot show the greatness of Ram so that the people across the world can know and eulogise.Lord Ram is shown only after 40 minutes and till the 40 minutes Ravana's role was shown in a gripping way. Many expected him to show Ram's role in a next level. However the dialogues that follow between Ram and Sita and the story that wwas narrated till then, people are left to wonder what the director know about Lord Ram. Director in the name of creative liberty changed many scenes.He failed to elevate Ram's role even 1% of what he did for Ravana. Even in the second part, he gave importance to Ravana and Soorpanakha. These scenes generate interest but the same interest is not shown in Ram's character. Ramayana means ,one should talk of Ram's greatness and if the makers do research and show Ram's role and elevate him to the next level, no other blockbuster films can be compared to it. Devotees are ruing that why the directors are not making proper research in Lord Ram and doing films elevating other characters and showing Ram &nbsp;in a subdued way.Nirvighn Nandivada

Keerthy Suresh who was last seen in Nani's The Paradise, speaking to scribes shared her thoughts on the working culture of Bollywood and South.She said “It's a very different process altogether. Like script readings and the prep work, everything that goes here. There's a lot of time that we spend in pre-production in terms of training the actors, interacting with them, meeting all the other actors, whereas in South it's more spontaneous. I kind of like both,”She added “So there it's very spontaneous. There's not much prep work unless and until it's a very particular kind of character where you need a lot of effort. Most of the things are spontaneous. Sometimes I've met other actors or other important co-actors on set, probably that day of the shoot. So I kind of like working on both,”Keerthy Suresh starred alongside Radhika Apte in the Akka. Speaking about her role, Bhavani she said “What makes her interesting is that beneath her strength and authority are choices that are never easy, especially when the stakes are so high.”She added “Working with Radhika was amazing because Bhavani and Rudra bring such different energies to the story, and their dynamic adds another layer of tension to the narrative,”-- Pramod Nandivada

A major controversy has erupted over book purchases at the Periyar Arivulagam Library in Tamil Nadu. Allegations of fake publishers, AI generated books and fictitious author names have triggered a political storm. Among the names attracting attention is Trisha Vijay, who has reportedly been credited as the author of a book on Tamil language history.The controversy came to light after noted Tamil writer Perumal Murugan raised questions about the books purchased for the library. Murugan, who was part of the library's book selection committee, alleged in an article published on the Chindhai website that a large number of books had been purchased from a publisher called Agal Vilakku Pathippagam. His enquiries reportedly raised doubts about the publisher's authenticity and the credibility of several listed authors.According to Murugan, some books appeared to contain AI generated content and carried names of authors whose identities were questionable. Names such as Trisha Vijay, Vijaya Balu, Jyothi Saravanan and Manisha Dinesh reportedly appeared on the books. He also questioned the pricing, alleging that books normally costing Rs. 200 to Rs. 300 were purchased for amounts ranging between Rs. 1,200 and Rs. 1,500.The controversy has now turned into a political confrontation between Chief Minister Vijay's TVK government and the DMK. Vijay accused the previous DMK government of irregularities, claiming that more than 60,000 books were purchased during its tenure and that his government had not bought any books for the library. The DMK rejected the allegations and questioned the publication dates on the books. An investigation has been ordered, and the actual extent of the alleged irregularities is yet to be established. - Veda

Sreeleela became one of the busiest actresses in Telugu cinema within a short time, winning attention with her glamorous screen presence and energetic dance performances. At one point, she was juggling multiple film shoots in a single day. However, a series of disappointing results slowed her momentum, prompting her to explore opportunities outside Tollywood.According to industry reports, Sreeleela has reportedly decided to reduce her remuneration by nearly half to secure more opportunities in other film industries. The actress, who was previously said to charge around Rs. 2.5 crore per Telugu film, is reportedly willing to be more flexible with her fee in other languages.Interestingly, this reported strategy has brought attention to her Tamil film opportunities. She is being linked to projects featuring leading stars, including Rajinikanth, Ajith Kumar and Dhanush. Meanwhile, Sreeleela is also expanding her Bollywood presence with a film opposite Kartik Aaryan. These projects could help her reach audiences beyond Telugu cinema.For Sreeleela, getting back into the success race will depend on choosing the right scripts and delivering box office hits. Reducing remuneration might help her attract filmmakers, but a successful film is equally important to rebuild her market. With several opportunities reportedly coming her way, audiences are waiting to see which project will give her career the much needed boost. - Veda

Tirupati, September 23:
&nbsp;The ambitious program of the Tirumala Tirupati Dewasthanam&rsquo;s to gold plate the entire sanctorum of Srivari Temple at Tirumala has received spontaneous response during the Srivari Brahmotsavam-2009. On the first day itself two kgs of gold donations were committed to the Ananda Nilaya Anant Swaramaya pathakam .
Gold offering in kgs and also grams are pouring in from industrialists, businessmen all over the country and overseas and smaller devotees are also putting more and more gold chains, gold biscuits and rings in Hundis with specific mention that it should be used for the gold plating of Sri Venkateswara&rsquo;s sanctum sanctorum.
&ldquo;The response is overwhelming,&ldquo; says the TTD executive officer, I Y Krishna Rao. The chief minister, K Rosaiah, received the first&nbsp; donations of gold in cash and kind from the daughter of&nbsp; TTD chairman, D K Adikeshavulu Naidu. Late chief minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy had launched the first phase of the scheme estimated to cost Rs 150 crore during his visit to Tirumala for the state offering of &lsquo;Pattu Vastram&rsquo; to the deity last year. Last year within one week of Brahmotsavam 25 kgs of gold were committed. TTD authorities who have so far collected 78 kgs of gold during the year have already begun the works and hope to complete within one year.
The TTD board decided to gold plate the Ananda Nilayam, the sanctum Santorum of the Tirumala temple on suggestion of agama pundits, peethadhipathis and pious devotees to further promote Hindu dharma and devotion among the pilgrims. The total scheme costing Rs 1,000 crore will be met from internal revenues and gold donations from philanthropists under a special donation scheme titled Ananda Nilayam Ananta Swarnamayam pathakam.
The TTD has drawn up an ambitious donation scheme to attract donors for the scheme. &ldquo;The response is spontaneous and we expect that the TTD will be able to complete the work on a war footing,&rdquo; says the TTD chairman, D K Adikeshavulu. The plating works on the pillars of the Jaya Vijaya complex near the Hundi and entry to sanctum of Sri Venkateswara has almost been completed.
The exercise of gold plating the Srivari Temple began way back in 1267 when the then Pandyan King Sundara Pandyan took up gold plating of the kalasham of ton the gopuram of Ananda Nilayam sanctum. Later the Saluva King Mungidevudu in 1359 and the Vijayanagara emperor Sri Krishna Devaraya provided in 15th century donated over 1,000 kgs of gold for the gold plating of the entire gopuram of the sanctum of the Srivari temple.&nbsp; In 1958, the temple authorities got the sanctum outer wall (frontal face of&nbsp; 200 sq meters) gold plated with 12 kgs of gold donated by the devotees.&nbsp;
The TTD chairman, AdiKeshavulu Naidu, says that the TTD board has taken up this unique program as per the suggestions of Agama Shastra pundits and the Peethadhipathis of the Vaikhanasa cult to enhance the divine energy of the grand idol of Lord Venkateswara.&nbsp;
The authorities have plans to digitise the inscriptions on the outer and inner walls of the Srivari Nilayam stretching around 10,000 square feet. "The gold plating will be done without damaging the inscriptions by leaving an half inch gap between the wall and the plating ", says the Executive Officer, I Y R Krishna Rao.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"The devotees who offer one kg of gold or multiples will be honored in a unique manner by the TTD- annual free VIP darshan, laddu prasadam and accommodation,&rdquo; he says. The donor scheme will provide them special benefits and other concessions in darshan, accommodation, prasadam etc once a year&nbsp;
With the gold plating of the Srivari Ananda Nilayam, the TTD will join the club of prominent Indian religious shrines like Golden Temple of Amritsar, the seat of Sikhism in the country. &ldquo;The Tirumala temple will be more unique in so many ways for reputation of its legendry divine energy and for fulfilling every wish of its ardent devotees and committed followers.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Mahasakthi(2026) Movie: What's BehindNayanthara's Mookuthi Amman 2 is releasing on November 6, 2026 in Telugu as Mahasakthi.The film is generating interest as it is the sequel to the hit film Mookuthi Amman. Let us find out what impact the film created on movie lovers.Mahasakthi(2026) Movie: Story ReviewMahasakthi story revolves around the fight between Godly and Evil forces and the secret behind the sacrifice of a Queen. Police Officer Shakti (Nayanthara), experiences nightmares for unknown reasons.What is the mystery behind it and what role her mother (Urvashi), and how it is connected to Periyava (YG. Mahendran), unknown power (Regina Cassandra) and others from the rest of the developments.Mahasakthi(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewNayanthara slipped into the role effortlessly. She entertained with her graceful performance and also at the same time impressed with her valor and made powerful impact.Urvashi in the role of mother is good balancing her expressions and emotions. &nbsp;Regina Cassandra made her presence felt on the screen in a different role. But her attire and costume design is not up to the mark and she looked odd on the screen.Duniya Vijay made is Kollywood Debut came up with a decent performance. However, Yogi Babu's comedy didn't work out. Others performed according to their roles.Mahasakthi(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMahasakthi story is penned by Sundar C. While the first part is directed by RJ Balaji and NJ. Saravanan, Sundar directed the sequel. The story is different from the first part. The first part dealt with take godmen exploiting the beliefs of the people. Sundari C went one step ahead, including Goddess, evil forces, Saitan and what not.However the story follows the routine template of devotional and fantasy elements and comes with a little twist. He blended commercial and entertainment masala elements in his own style. Though there are experienced actress like Urvashi, even her presence couldn't take the film to next level. To the top of it, Yogi Babu's comedy looked irrelevant and out of sync and impacted the narration.The narration starts with the mysterious elements in the temples and the pace is slow and steady. Only after Nayanthara starts to unravel the mystery, the screenplay picks up pace. After the fight between good and evil, the story ends on a predictable note. Sneha and Khushboo made special appearances and feature in a high octane doing ahead of the heavily used VFX climax.Hip Hop Tamizha's music didn't add any value to the proceedings. His elevated the scenes to some extent with impactful background score but most of the time it turned out to be loud.The re-recording highlighted the mood of the film's genre. The Cinematography of Gopi Amarnath added value to the narration and is effective. VFX turned out to be the weak link. The editing of Fenny Oliver is ok but could have been far better at times. Dialogues are ok. Production values are good.Mahasakthi Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Nayanthara</li></ul>Mahasakthi(2026) Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Weak Screenplay</li><li>Illogical Scenes</li><li>VFX</li></ul>Mahasakthi(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Mahasakthi fails to make any impact devotionally. People are left to wonder, why Sundar named the film as the sequel to Mookuthi Amman. He could have named it with different title or Aranmanai 5. It seems he was under the impression the more characters, supernatural elements will excite all. But weak Screenplay, illogical scenes and characterizations brought down the intensity. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Mahashakti.

Let us see whether Suriya's police power shook the box office or not.Scene (2026) Movie: Story ReviewScene story revolves around a police officer and the happenings after he starts investigating and reopening an unsolved case. DSP Premraj(Suriya) who stays away from the police force for unknown reasons, is bestowed upon the responsibility to reopen an unsolved case and start the investigation.What Premraj stays away from the police force, what startling findings he unravels in the investigation and how it is connected to his girlfriend Maya( Nazriya Nazim), his father (Anandraj), Stephen (Lal), Eeswaran(Naslen), Inspector Sibi (Rajpriyan) form the crux of the developments.Scene (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSuriya looked young , energetic and dashing on the screen. He as a police officer showed variations in his expressions and emotions as an unpredictable and eccentric person. He with his mannerisms and comic timing entertains all.Naslen came up with a chilling performance and his psychological battle with Suriya is good. Nazriya Nazim is good and enacted action sequences with ease. Her chemistry with Suriya is attractive. However she looked older than Suriya.Lal with his performance evoked a few laughs. Others like Anandraj and Raj Priyan are ok in their roles.Scene (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewScene story is penned by Jithu Madhavan of Aavesham fame. He made his Kollywood entry with this film. He starts the narration in an interesting manner before the introduction of Suriya in a typical stylish way as usual.The first half is full of investigation proceedings, dialogues between three cops and a few hilarious elements in the backdrop of serious tone. However, a couple of scenes and twists looked unconvincing. Still the first half turns out to be a decent watch.The second half nose dives completely with uninteresting elements and insipid investigation. Except for a few scenes here and there, everything turns lackluster. The climax ends on a disappointing and weak note with no real face off.Sushin Shyam failed completely with his music. However, he came up with a breezy and groovy background music to elevate the scenes. His innovative background score added a quirky look to the proceedings.Vineeth Augustin with his Cinematography elevated the tone and tenor of the film's genre. Ajmal Sabu's editing turned out to be a mixed bag. He left many dragging scenes unattended in the second half which resulted in a tedious watch. Production values are adequate.Scene Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Suriya</li><li>Background Score</li><li>Few Entertaining Elements</li></ul>Scene Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Uninteresting Investigation</li><li>Characterizations</li></ul>Scene (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Scene turns out to be a routine investigative drama. Except for Suriya's performance and few hilarious elements, it offered nothing new. Jithu Madhavan is successful in showing Suriya in a different way but the weak characterizations and surprisingly weak investigation along with the underwhelming climax played the spoilsport. A racy screenplay and powerful characterizations doing with redoing of the script would have added more power. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Scene.

They bring innocence and natural expressions to their characters, handling the emotional and humorous moments convincingly.Baby Khushi and the other child actors add to the film's entertainment value. Jayasudha is effective as the grandmother, while Vasuki Anand and Harshavardhan do well as RV's parents.

Debutant director Srikar Nayan G handles the central idea with clarity and conviction. The producers deserve appreciation for backing a story that focuses on simple human emotions rather than relying on violence and commercial gimmicks.However, the film's impact is limited by its flat narration and convenient screenplay. A tighter script, a more engaging pace and fewer predictable moments could have made it a better experience. Despite its pleasant moments, the film leaves the feeling that something is missing.Considering its strengths and shortcomings, Cinejosh rates Summer Holidays 2.5/5.

Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: What's BehindRamayana is one of the most ambitious Indian films, bringing the country's much-loved epic to the big screen on a grand scale. Nitesh Tiwari, known for films like Dangal and Chhichhore, has taken up the responsibility of presenting this timeless story to audiences across the world. Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana have added to the curiosity surrounding the project. With A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer handling the music, expectations are high. The film's massive scale and star cast have made it one of the most anticipated cinematic ventures. Let us see how far Ramayana lives up to the expectations.Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: StoryThe Ramayana is a story that needs no introduction. Nitesh Tiwari brings the epic to the big screen, focusing on the journey of Rama, his marriage to Sita, their exile and the events that lead to her abduction by Ravana. The first part introduces the key characters and sets up the conflict between Rama and Ravana, with the much-awaited battle left for the next instalment.Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: PerformancesRanbir Kapoor looks convincing as Lord Rama. He brings the required calmness and dignity to the character. Sai Pallavi is a good choice for Sita, and her natural performance adds grace to the role. Both actors do justice to their characters.Yash makes his presence felt as Ravana. His looks, body language and screen presence suit the character, and he brings the required intensity whenever he appears. Ravi Dubey is good as Lakshmana, while the supporting cast does its job well.Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: Technical AspectsThe biggest attraction of Ramayana is its scale. The sets, costumes, locations and production design give the film a grand look. The visual effects work well in several important sequences, though a few shots could have been better. The Jatayu episode is one of the film's standout moments.A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer's music adds weight to the proceedings, particularly in the important sequences. The background score works better than the songs. Cinematography is impressive, while the editing could have been sharper in a few portions.Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: AnalysisNitesh Tiwari has taken up a challenging task, and there is no doubt that the film has been mounted on a huge scale. Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi do justice to Rama and Sita, while Yash brings the necessary power to Ravana. The casting is one of the film's strengths.However, the film doesn't maintain the same pace throughout. Some episodes take longer than necessary, and the narration loses momentum in a few places. Despite having several visually impressive moments, the emotional impact is not equally strong across the film. The familiar story also puts more responsibility on the writing to keep audiences engaged, and this is where the film could have done better.The first part largely concentrates on establishing the characters and their worlds. While it offers enough moments to enjoy on the big screen, the wait for the actual Rama-Ravana battle may leave some viewers wanting more.Ramayana Part 1 Movie: Plus Points<ul><li>Grand production values</li><li>Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi's performances</li><li>Yash as Ravana</li><li>Impressive visuals</li><li>Jatayu episode</li><li>Background score</li></ul>Ramayana Part 1 Movie: Minus Points<ul><li>Slow narration in parts</li><li>Lengthy runtime</li><li>Uneven visual effects</li><li>Emotional impact could have been stronger</li><li>Editing could have been tighter</li></ul>Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: VerdictRamayana has the scale and performances needed for a grand theatrical experience. Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash make the familiar characters interesting to watch, and some sequences leave a strong impression. However, the slow narration and lack of consistent emotional depth hold the film back. It is a decent first instalment that sets up the bigger conflict for the next part.

He showed his acting talent showing variations in his body language and screen presence. He showed the required seriousness in his role during the investigation and while following orders from the higherups. &nbsp;He delivered dialogues highlighting the emotions with his expressions. Charu Vaken impressed with his performance in the final episodes.Banerjee is good in the role of the higher up. Shravani Reddy is good in her role. However Anji's character is not shown in the most interesting manner. Raja Ravindra, Preeti Sundar, Shiva Alapati performed according to their roles.Rudravanam PS Web Series: Technicians ReviewRudravanam PS story is written by Taj Sayed and is helmed by Sasidhar Munnangi. He tried to excite all with the crime thriller. The first four episodes progress in a interesting and exciting manner. He designed the character of Naresh Agasthya. The happenings involving the character of Anji is good. But these things could have been shown in the more impactful manner.Sasidhar Munnangi the loses plot in the last three episodes diluting the intensity levels. Had these scenes designed in &nbsp;an interesting manner, things would have been different. The more subplots as the investigation progresses resulted in the decrease of interest leves as it resulted in confusion all over. It turned out to be a mixed bag with few scenes getting dragged unnecessarily and some scenes ending rather abruptly.Many murder mysteries came with such plot and very few of them are engaging. Rudravanam PS also fails to engage. The first four episodes though interesting are dragged showing the restlessness in the police force and the story do not head anywhere. The entire story is narrated in the last two episodes and the &nbsp;motive of the culprit is shown in the last episode and this is little interesting. However, even that pales due to the weak motive.Ashkar Ali with his cinematography showed the rural village atmosphere in the natural and realistic manner. However Madhav's editing should have been &nbsp;more sharper as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. The background music of Saluri Vasu Rao is good and added value to the narration. Production values are good.Rudravanam PS Web Series: Advantages<ul><li>Naresh Agasthya's characterisation</li><li>BGM</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Interesting &nbsp;Climax</li></ul>Rudravanam PS Web Series: Disadvantages<ul><li>Missing Emotions</li><li>Spineless Screenplay</li><li>Subplots</li><li>Weak Twists</li></ul>Rudravanam PS Web Series: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Rudravanam PS turns out to be a routine investigative thriller. Naresh Agasthya came up with a spirited performance and director Sasidhar Munnangi tried to thrill viewers in this 7 episodes webseries. While he made an impactful start with the first four episodes showing the investigating episodes in an exciting and interesting manner, the last three episodes except for the climax goes for a toss. For all his efforts, though the characterisation of Naresh Agasthya's role appeals, everything goes missing. The story lacked the emotional connect with things passing through the motions and screenplay turning spineless and stale without offering nothing much to excite. Little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay and powerful emotions would have added more punch to the story. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Rudravanam PS.

Rudravanam PS Web Series Review

Akka (2026) Web Series: StoryAkka is set in the 1980s in Pernuru, a fictional South Indian kingdom ruled by women for generations. The society follows its own traditions, with women holding power and men having a limited role in the kingdom's affairs. Bhavani (Keerthy Suresh) is the powerful matriarch who controls the kingdom and tries to protect its traditions and authority.However, her world gets disturbed when Rudra (Radhika Apte), an outsider with a personal vendetta, enters Pernuru with plans to take control. What follows is a violent battle involving power, revenge, betrayals and family rivalries. How Bhavani handles the threat and what happens to the kingdom form the rest of the story.Akka Web Series: PerformancesKeerthy Suresh gets a strong character in Bhavani, but the writing does not give her enough emotional depth to make the role memorable. She manages to bring some authority to the character, although the overall impact remains limited.Radhika Apte gets an interesting role as Rudra, but her characterisation and dialogue delivery do not create the desired impact. Tanvi Azmi and Monika Panwar have their moments, while Mahesh Manjrekar, Anshuman Pushkar, Vishak Nair and the rest of the supporting cast have limited scope to make an impression.Akka Web Series: AnalysisAkka starts with an interesting premise. A fictional kingdom controlled by women, where power struggles and gangster politics take centre stage, offers plenty of scope for an engaging period crime drama. The conflict between Bhavani and Rudra also provides an interesting foundation.Unfortunately, the writing fails to make proper use of this idea. The series spends considerable time establishing its fictional world, traditions and characters, but struggles to create emotional involvement. Despite several betrayals, violent confrontations and power games, the proceedings rarely become engaging.The biggest problem is the lack of strong characterisation. Both Bhavani and Rudra are introduced as powerful women, but their motivations and emotional journeys are not explored effectively. Several subplots occupy considerable screen time without adding much value to the central conflict.The series also relies heavily on violence and grand visuals to create an impression. However, the action sequences lack the impact required to elevate the drama. Even when the narrative reaches important turning points, the emotional connect remains weak.Akka Web Series: Technical AspectsThe production design, costumes and locations give the series a lavish appearance. However, the artificial presentation and excessive stylisation make the fictional world less convincing. The background score is largely unremarkable and fails to enhance the intensity of the confrontations. The writing and direction needed much more conviction to turn the ambitious premise into an engaging drama.Akka Web Series: Plus Points<ul><li>Interesting central premise</li><li>Some detailing of the matriarchal society</li><li>Lavish production design and costumes</li></ul>Akka Web Series: Minus Points<ul><li>Weak and simplistic writing</li><li>Poor character development</li><li>Lack of emotional depth</li><li>Unconvincing world-building</li><li>Underwhelming action and background score</li></ul>Akka Web Series: VerdictAkka has an interesting premise and a lavish setup, but the execution fails to match its ambition. The power struggle between two strong female characters could have made for an engaging gangster drama. However, weak writing, shallow characterisation and a lack of emotional depth make the series a disappointing watch. Despite its visual grandeur, Akka turns out to be more about show than substance.

He tried to thrill viewers with spy thriller with sci fi elements. He started the narration in an &nbsp;interesting way but quickly loses plot even before the interest is built. He tried to come up with numerous questions and with different screenplay and taking, use of various technological jargons, he decided to provided the answers.While he generated interest with some of the scenes, the investigation scenes irritates viewers with the overaction of the cast and the repetitive scenes. The end of the first half sets the stage for the second half. Couple of twists in the second half turnout to be ok but many scenes in the second half turned repetitive and routine. There are many illogical scenes and also the climax scenes looks out of snyc.Ashirvad &amp; Suman Jeeva's background score followed the same template.

The non-linear screenplay ended up testing the patience of all the movie lovers and also confuses everyone. No amount of changes in the story, screenplay, or soul would have changed the final output. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.25 rating for Killer.

He showed non sensical attitude in a realistic way in his body language. He made good impact with his expressions and emotions. His dialogue delivery &nbsp;and punches elevate the scenes.

Murali Sharma is good in the role of the Home Minister and Srikanth Iyengar made his presence felt as the commissioner. Gayatri Bharadwaj is ok with her performance but her role is not that of importance in the film.Cult(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewCult story &nbsp;is penned by Vishwak Sen. He tried to thrill viewers with the violent action thriller. However he came up with a routine revenge drama increasing the dosage of violence. Most of the time, the narration is high on action and violence sequences and due to this the story and screenplay went for a toss. The entire first half is loaded with predictable elements and the story picks up pace only after the entry of Vishwak Sen &nbsp;and the games in the party. The interval bang sets the stage for the second half.The second half is racy with the unraveling of the mystery and blended with action elements. But &nbsp;the flashback turns routine and climax lacks the thrill. The film ends with the lead to the sequel. The story resembles that of Squid Games and though it is new to the Telugu movie lovers on the big screen, those who watches similar films in OTTs find nothing exciting.The background music of Ravi Basrur elevated many scenes. Aravind Viswanathan's cinematography is good and showed the scenes in a stylish way. The editing of Ravi Teja Girijala is ok.

Vishwak Sen acted and directed the film. Vishwak Sen drew inspiration of Hollyood films and series like Squid Games. The story turns routine and screenplay turned out to be a mixed back. With the most of the story starting only after more than one hour, viewers get impatient. The weak flashback and climax played the spoilsport.To the top of it, Vishwak Sen who made an impact as an actor on the screen appears only at the end of the first half, disappointing all. Little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay, doing away with predictable first half and other scenes, things would have been different. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Cult.

The first half then moves forward with a mix of comedy and family situations. Though the proceedings are somewhat predictable, Trivikram's dialogues and Venkatesh's performance keep the momentum going.The interval sequence comes with a surprise and creates some interest for the second half. However, the sequence also reminds us of the Tamil film Blast.The second half is where the film loses some of its freshness. The proceedings become predictable and repetitive, with the story largely focusing on how the family tries to save themselves from the criminals. Still, there are a few entertaining moments and twists that keep the film watchable before it reaches a predictable conclusion.Trivikram's story does not offer anything particularly new apart from a couple of twists. The screenplay is straightforward and lacks the novelty expected from him. However, his trademark dialogue writing and the performances help the film in several places.Thaman's songs do not make much of an impact and are not presented particularly well on screen. His background score, however, is effective and suits the proceedings.Ravi K Chandran's cinematography gives the film a colourful and appealing look. Naveen Nooli's editing is good, though the second half could have benefited from tighter cuts. The dialogues work in parts and the production values are good.Aadarsha Kutumbam Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Venkatesh</li><li>Entertaining first half</li><li>Comedy and family moments</li><li>Few interesting twists</li><li>BGM</li></ul>Aadarsha Kutumbam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable second half</li><li>Familiar situations</li><li>Lack of novelty in the screenplay</li></ul>Aadarsha Kutumbam(2026) Movie: Rating Analysis Altogether, Aadarsha Kutumbam turns out to be a fairly engaging family entertainer with a mix of comedy, thrills and unexpected turns. Venkatesh is at his entertaining best and carries the film with his trademark expressions, mannerisms and dialogue delivery. Trivikram manages to create several enjoyable moments, particularly in the first half, with his witty dialogues and interesting setup.The second half loses some of the freshness seen earlier and becomes predictable in places. A few situations also remind us of familiar films, which takes away some of the impact. Still, the film has enough entertaining moments, a few good twists and a strong lead performance to make it a decent theatrical watch.Considering the overall entertainment, Venkatesh's performance, humour, thrills and technical aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Aadarsha Kutumbam.
