&nbsp;&nbsp;Lalit Modi rubbishes allegations on Sushmita Sen Former IPL chief Lalit Modi, speaking to scribes, rubbished allegations on Sushmita Sen, branding her a gold digger.Sushmita earlier in 2022 said, "I dig deeper than gold... and I've always (famously) preferred diamonds! And yes, I still buy them myself."Lalit Modi says, “Sushmita is a beautiful, successful and self-made woman. She has more diamonds than almost anyone I know, and she earned everything herself. She even had diamond stores.”He continued, “There wasn’t a time when we went out, and I had to pay for anything, she paid for everything. I was like a kept boyfriend,” and added &nbsp;“She would never accept anything from anybody. So when people called her a gold digger, that was completely wrong.”He said "If anything, Lalit was the diamond digger." He called Sushmita a true "diamond." He said &nbsp;“I have the fondest memories of her and she’s still a very dear friend. I wish her nothing but the best. She’s an amazing woman and what she has done as a single mother to her daughters, Renee and Alisah, is remarkable.”

&nbsp;Sreeleela fights for women in the sets. Sreeleela is known for his caring nature and helping hand. According to the latest, she fought for the women in the sets in the film industry.She said, “As actresses in this generation, we have the advantage of cars and vans. But other women on set don’t have these facilities. So I feel it is our responsibility to tell women ADs (assistant directors) or other ladies like dancers, ‘Hey, you can come anytime to use my facility.’ That is basic humanness.”Hema Malini agrees with Sreeleela and said, “She is right. At least she has the privilege of having access to a van. When we shot in the wilderness for Sholay there was no van, no hotel, not even a proper restroom. I think extending the use of one’s restroom facility to other women in the crew is the decent thing to do.” &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; Mani Ratnam began his film journey without any cinema background. He is an MBA graduate who entered direction with passion and fresh ideas. His first film was the Kannada movie Pallavi Anupallavi in 1983. He then made the Malayalam film Unaroo and entered Tamil cinema with Pagal Nilavu. After a few Tamil films, he found his own voice with Mouna Ragam in 1986. The film was a blockbuster and showed his unique style of telling stories. People praised the way he handled emotions and relationships. Mouna Ragam was dubbed into Telugu and from then all his films reached Telugu audiences too.Rise With Powerful Stories And National Fame&nbsp; Mani Ratnam’s rise came with strong films that mixed art and mass appeal. He made Nayakan with Kamal Haasan and it became a cult classic. The film was even named in Time’s list of world’s best 100 films. Both Nayakan and Anjali went as India’s official entries to the Oscars. He then worked with Nagarjuna for Geethanjali, a love story between two terminally ill people. It was a big hit and remains the only Telugu film he has directed. Films like Agni Natchathiram, Thalapathy with Rajinikanth and Mammootty, and Anjali showed his grip on drama, emotion, and character detail. Thalapathy took inspiration from Karna and Duryodhana of Mahabharatam and became a huge success.Unique Style And Signature Themes &nbsp;Mani Ratnam has a peculiar style that is hard to copy. He shows human emotions in a real and subtle way. His characters feel natural and their conflicts come from simple life situations. He does not copy others and you rarely see other directors’ influence in his work. He frames shots with beauty and uses music and silence to tell the story. His films often deal with love, politics, family, and society. He made the Terrorism Trilogy with Roja, Bombay, and Dil Se. He also made a Romantic Trilogy with Mouna Ragam, Alai Payuthey or Sakhi, and O Kadhal Kanmani or Ok Bangaram. His work with Ilaiyaraaja and later A R Rahman created timeless music.Body Of Work Spanning Four Decades &nbsp;In forty years Mani Ratnam has given many classics. Roja and Bombay gave him nationwide fame. Iruvar or Iddaru told the story of MGR, Karunanidhi, and Jayalalithaa and was praised for its craft. He made Hindi films like Dil Se with Shah Rukh Khan and Guru with Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. Films like Kannathil Muthamittal or Amrutha, Alai Payuthey or Sakhi, and Raavanan showed his range. He blends strong writing, visual beauty, and great performances. Each film feels fresh even today because he keeps up with the times and speaks to new audiences.Latest Works And Continuing Legacy&nbsp;&nbsp;Mani Ratnam never went out of fashion. His recent films Ok Bangaram, Nawab, and the two part epic Ponniyin Selvan prove he can still make quality cinema that connects with all ages. Ponniyin Selvan was a grand historical film that won praise for scale and storytelling. He is now busy with a new love story starring Vijay Sethupathi. Fans wait to see how he will show romance and human bonds this time. His journey from Pallavi Anupallavi to today shows constant growth and courage to try new ideas.CineJosh wishes Master Director Mani Ratnam a very happy birthday. We hope to see many more classics from him in the coming years.

&nbsp;Alpha does away with Indo-Pak friendship angle. Alia Bhatt's spy thriller Alpha has been generating immense interest among movielovers. Shiv Rawail is the director for the film, which stars Sharvari Wagh and Bobby Deol in key roles.A source privy to the developments says, “With Alia Bhatt making an entry in the YRF Spy Universe as an assassin and not as a spy in Alpha, the film will not follow any usual or seen tropes from any of the earlier films from the spy verse. Alpha is an origin story of a girl who is raised to be a killing machine; there will be no friendship shown between India and Pakistan in this film."The source added , “There is also no India-Pak joint mission angle. Alpha will celebrate the bravery of India as it takes on the task to finish its enemies on its own with ruthless precision. Contrary to the rumours circulating on social media, Alpha is not a cross-border story built around diplomatic reconciliation between India and Pakistan. We can junk these rumours completely."

Aamani showed her experience in the role of the mother.Others like Sahithi Avancha, Nandha Durairaj, Sai Dheena, Robo Shankar, Rowdy Rohini, ETV Prabhakar, Ambati Arjun, Spyder Sanjay, Kalloori Vinoth performed according to their roles.Trikala - Script of God: Technicians ReviewTrikala - Script of God story is penned by Mani Tellaguti. 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. Production values are average.Trikala Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e84a9e5db5ce12c27b3ce8ebc3b075092">Performences</li><li data-list-item-id="e257442ff650dd01b600beea96cb2b7ed">Core Point</li></ul>Trikala Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="efcce0400976c713a9a6152f8fbef6e5d">Non Linear Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="ec83ef7169e3373ec5ba9e32cb18b7218">Confusing Narration</li></ul>Trikala - Script of God (2026): Rating AnalysisAltogether, Trikala - Script of God despite good point fails to reach the success heights. Director Mani Tellaguti came up with an interesting point but failed with his execution. A little finetuning of the script, racy screenplay and doing away with the confusing elements, could have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with 2 rating for Trikala - Script of God.&nbsp;

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.

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.

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;

Arjun Sarja, Preity Mukundhan and Abhirami came up with energetic and spirited performances.

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.

Hemanth Ippalapalli instead of concentrating on coming up with the strong story, tried to impresses viewers with extensive usage of CGI, VFX and futuristic world that looked completely out of sync. The story turned out to be weak with many loopholes and following this screenplay and direction went for a toss. No amount of rework on the script would have changed the output or the final result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1 rating for First Time.

Though at times he came up with stone faced expressions, he made his presence felt as a innocent lover boy and also as a caring husband and also showed the emotional side delivering dialogues aptly.Vennela Kishore and Kasi Reddy created humour with their antics. Same can be said about Sapthagiri and VTV.Ganesh. Rayancha Kokkura looked good on screen and she performed well in the role of a woman who donot tolerate lies. French Girl Gabi Rock is ok in the all important role.Anaira Gupta oozed with glamor in a song while Vishka and Hasini Sudhir played their parts to perfection.

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.

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.

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.

He continues from where he left in Drishyam 2 and the narration progresses in the same vein. He starts the narration in an interesting manner increasing the curiosity levels highlighting the fears of the protagonist in the wake of the recent developments which got him unwanted media attention.He also showed the emotional situation and trauma of the female cop who experiences shock of her son's death and how to deal ith them. He slowly corelates both the incidents and developments and showed the media trail and social media impact on the protagonist's family. He concentrated on the happenings in Varun's life and tried to surprise viewers.Though Jeethu Joseph tried to highlight the emotional complications and implications and also worked hard to maintain the thrill factor, viewers who watched the first two parts, feel everything is stretched and they could easily guess the next scenes and proceedings. They feel that Jeethu Joseph stretched the narration and the so called thrill factor to a point of no return. The slow pace in the first half tests the patience of the viewers. It is only during the runup to the interval block some sense of urgency is shown and few scenes increase the thrill factor.People expect a more interesting and intriguing second half. However the familiarity of the behavior of the characters robbed viewers of the novel feeling. Everything turns predictable be it the investigation sequences, emotional scenes and the pattern in unraveling the suspense. To the top of it, when viewers expect a shocking climax, the simple climax turns out to be a major disappointment. The way protagonist comes with silly ideas turns out to be a huge disappointment. The Telugu dubbing turned out to be the worst.The editing of Vinayak VS could have been far better. There are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. The cinematography of Satheesh Kurup is in sync with the story. He used the camera angles and color combinations to give realistic and natural feel to the proceedings.The music of Anil Johnson is ok and his background score elevated the scenes. Dialogues are fine and production values are good.Drishyam 3 : Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec1938436b03b12ca3a6acd1dab5e3342">Mohanlal</li><li data-list-item-id="e8de53a5ef548d102431323e40375f882">Few Twists</li></ul>Drishyam 3 : Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e56853b4e433a1cc77ef205b18707b2c0">Missing Conflict</li><li data-list-item-id="ed6d3d50204041f3d963054cf058f00ee">Worst Dubbing</li><li data-list-item-id="eeccbece86be327f73178810e2ad2f71d">Bereft of Twists and Turns</li><li data-list-item-id="e5e27de6e869028d23b9a6f26413356c8">Climax</li></ul>Drishyam 3 (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Drishyam 3 turns out to be a predictable thriller and offered nothing new. The fault lies with the director Jeethu Joseph and the makers for trying to cash in to the craze of the Drishyam franchise. They offered nothing new when it came to the investigation, thrill factor and emotions. The story didnot excite and the screenplay and direction followed the familiar pattern robbing the viewers of the novel expereince. Obviously Drishyam 3 turns out to be the weakest among all the Drishyam franchises. No amount of rework on the script would have changed the outcome. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Drishyam 3.

Mr.Work From Home (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewMr.Work From Home, title role played by Thrigun looked smart and handsome on the screen. He is ok with his performance. He delivered dialogues sincerely. Payal Radhakrishna played a typical female lead role and she did not get much chance to show her performance and also her glamor.Aneesh Kuruvilla and Satya Krishnan played the roles of the hero's parents accordingly and their characters followed a typical template. The humor of Sudarshan and Viva Harsha failed to make an impact.Shivaji Raja played an important role while Venu Yeldani, Saptagiri played routine roles. Others performed according to their roles.Mr.Work From Home (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMr. Work From Home story is penned by &nbsp;Madhudeep Chelikaani. He tried to send a message to the society through his film about organic farming and usage of modern technology in farming and also about millets. However, the story turned out to be predictable and routine.He failed to blend the genex aspirations, romantic elements and message in an interesting manner. None of the scenes excites or connect with the viewers. The story lacked emotions and this impacted the film in a big way. Though the film's duration is less, one gets a feeling that it never ends.The story turned out to be routine and monotonous and screenplay and direction turned below average. The script lacked novelty and this is the biggest drawback.Arun Chiluveru, Prakash Cherukuri's music offered nothing new. The songs just increased the length of the duration and added no value. Cinematography of Ravi Kumar is just ok and as per the story. Kotagiri Venkateshwara Rao's editing left many unnecessary scenes. Dialogues are just ok. Production values are average.Mr.Work From Home Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e5a56a76a3f6aba316d93179d36d85329">Message</li><li data-list-item-id="e9c8ccd09884c58faa13828c7d8191ea1">Cinematography</li></ul>Mr.Work From Home Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eeb20f6c44e5d24f71cdf44abf66a0eb1">Routine Story</li><li data-list-item-id="e03366d8a64e38c16883a542529df3518">Missing Emotions</li></ul>Mr.Work From Home (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Mr.Work From Home gives another predictable message. Director &nbsp;Madhudeep Chelikaani tried to send relavant message about organic farming but he came up with outdated story and output. No amount of rework on the script would have changed the fate of the film. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.75 rating for Mr.Work From Home.

Mr.Work From Home Review

Veerabhadrudu (2026) Movie: Whats BehindVeerabhadrudu finally hits the screens today. Suriya is known for his powerful and impactful performances and versatile roles. However, of late his films are tanking at the box office. In the midst of all this, he is coming to test his luck with Karuppu which is releasing in Telugu as Veerabhadrudu. Karuppu OTT rights have been acquired by Amazon Prime and streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. Let us see whether Veerabhadrudu changed Suriya's fate at the box office.Veerabhadrudu aka Karuppu Movie: Story ReviewVeerabhadrudu story revolves around innocents fight for justice and what happens when it falls in deaf ears. Baby Krishna (RJ.Balaji) an influential lawyer runs the entire court in Nampally according to his whims and fancies and makes huge money by hook or crook. Though people are vexed, no one dares and then the unbelievable happens in form of Veerabhadra (Suriya).Who is Veerabhadra, how he is connected to the developments and what role lawyer Preethi (Trisha) played the interesting twist in the narration.Veerabhadrudu (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSuriya impresses with his performance. He makes an impact as the village God and is good as a lawyer. He showed good variations in mannerisms, looks and body language. He showed different expressions accordingly. He enacted action sequences with utmost ease.Trisha got an important role. She is ok with her looks. At times she got prominence and suddenly she gets confined to the second fiddle before taking the centre stage.RJ. Balaji performed well as the crooked lawyer. His scenes with Suriya excites all. At times he got more screen presence. Others like Natty, Swasika, Sshivadha, Anagha Maya Ravi, Supreeth Reddy performed according to their roles.Veerabhadrudu aka Karuppu Movie: Technicians ReviewVeerabhadrudu story is written by RJ. Balaji. He tried to entertain viewers by adding spiritual elements to a routine action entertainer with a message. For most of the first half, he spent time introducing various characters, establishing their problems and the proceedings in the court and elevate their emotions before introducing Suriya in an interesting and exciting manner. The slow pace tend to put off viewers as the scenes are predictable till the entry of Suriya.The narration picks up pace with the entry of Suriya and the spiritual elements generated curiosity. The conflict attracts all and though the interval block is routine, the first half ends on a decent note. When one expects a better second half, the narration turns cliched and screenplay goes for a toss. The comedy scenes looked outdated and dragged the narration to the next level.The pre climax is good but inspired by films like Kantara and Pushpa but lacked the strong emotions associated with them. RJ.Balaji followed the similar template in Veerabhadrudu which he did in Nayanthara's Mookuthi Amman except for few variations.The songs tuned by Sai Abhyankar had Tamil flavor. It is difficult to connect cords. His background score at times is good but at other times it turned out to be extremely loud. Kalaivanan's editing is ok but could have been far better. There are many scenes with tamil flavor and also repetitive scenes put off viewers. The cinematography of GK.Vishnnu is good. He showed the action sequences in an exciting way.Veerabhadrudu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ef0c3b979af8af3b33237e64a5eda3ac4">Suriya</li><li data-list-item-id="e00fd1b78977d2c1b6b45068cea5785cd">First Half</li><li data-list-item-id="e9a31681e1e2115e18cad747b7c42bae1">Few Emotions</li></ul>Veerabhadrudu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e351af48354cd09ac75b07cde4f5dae12">Frail Villian</li><li data-list-item-id="e7d98612fa657386d1df1a5cd4bac0cd9">Ordinary Dialogues</li><li data-list-item-id="eddbd29e7077c264cb807fee678513585">Incoherent Narration</li></ul>Veerabhadrudu (Karuppu) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Veerabhhadrudu turns out to be a routine fictional actioner. Suriya as usual came up with impressive performance. However, RJ. Balaji, who came up with a decent first half despite the routine flavor and predictable elements, failed completely in the second half. Little finetuning of the script would have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Veerabhadrudu.&nbsp;
