The film is being presented by noted producer K. Achchi Reddy and produced by Kommuri Pratap Reddy under the banner Sai Pragati Films. The movie marks the debut of Pidugu Vishwanath as a hero, while Korean actress Joon Hyun Ji and Mongolian actor Sharan Bold Segment are being introduced to Telugu audiences. Having completed shooting, "Vedavyas" is currently in post-production. On the occasion of SV Krishna Reddy’s 75th birthday, grand celebrations were held today at the Film Nagar Cultural Center in Hyderabad, along with the launch of the film’s making video. During the event, SV Krishna Reddy was honored with a World Record recognition certificate from Telugu Book of Records International for composing music for 38 films he directed. Several Tollywood celebrities attended the event as special guests. Producer Kommuri Pratap Reddy said: “SV Krishna Reddy garu is a great director and a wonderful human being. He has given Telugu cinema many outstanding family-oriented films that not only entertained audiences but also conveyed meaningful social messages. His movies have been enjoyed by people of all ages. SV Krishna Reddy garu and Achchi Reddy garu are the reason I entered the film industry. Krishna Reddy garu developed the story of ‘Vedavyas’ to showcase the greatness of our Vedas and the science behind them. He told me that making such a film would benefit society, and I immediately agreed to produce it. I followed every suggestion he made as a producer. The film has turned out exceptionally well. The World Record recognition is a fitting honor for a filmmaker who composed music for 38 out of the 42 films he directed. I wish Krishna Reddy garu a long, happy life and many more achievements.” Senior Actor Murali Mohan said: “The atmosphere today feels like a festival. I wish SV Krishna Reddy garu a long and healthy life. He should direct 100 films. The friendship between Achchi Reddy and Krishna Reddy should continue forever. It is commendable that Krishna Reddy garu is making ‘Vedavyas,’ a film that highlights the greatness of our Vedas and culture.”&nbsp; Producer Chadalavada Srinivasa Rao said: “People like SV Krishna Reddy and Achchi Reddy have brought great recognition to our industry. SV Krishna Reddy has given us many wonderful family entertainers. The industry needs a guiding force today, and I believe he can continue to play that role.” Director Relangi Narasimha Rao said: “I worked at Vijaya Productions and witnessed the legendary partnership of Nagi Reddy and Chakrapani. Seeing Krishna Reddy and Achchi Reddy reminds me of them. Looking at today’s films and titles, one realizes that SV Krishna Reddy created a golden era of family entertainment. ‘Vedavyas,’ which highlights the greatness of our epics, Vedas, and culture, is a highly commendable effort.” Producer Damodara Prasad said: “SV Krishna Reddy garu believed in content and delivered remarkable successes to the film industry. Making a blockbuster like ‘Yamaleela’ with Ali as the lead at a time when he was primarily known as a comedian demonstrates his confidence in content. I hope ‘Vedavyas’ becomes a huge success.” Producer Ashok Kumar said: “SV Krishna Reddy garu always sees the positive side in everyone. The industry needs great directors like him today. I hope he enjoys another equally successful phase in his career and continues to guide Telugu cinema.” Actress Laya said: “Just as Ilaiyaraaja has a devoted fan following for his music, SV Krishna Reddy garu also has a unique fan base for his songs. I am one of his admirers. I acted in two films directed by him and often wish I had done more. I extend my heartfelt birthday wishes to him.” Actor Srikanth said: “I was fortunate to act as a hero in several films directed by SV Krishna Reddy garu. It is wonderful to be part of his 75th birthday celebrations. I wish great success for ‘Vedavyas’ and hope he directs many more films.” Actor J.D. Chakravarthy said: “It was a pleasure to work under SV Krishna Reddy garu’s direction. He is a brilliant storyteller, and the way he narrates stories is truly beautiful. Even if asked to explain a simple idea, he does it in an extraordinary way. I wish him a very happy birthday.” Actor Ali said: “SV Krishna Reddy garu treats everyone equally, from a junior artist to a hero. He has an exceptionally kind heart. Composing music for 38 films out of 42 is an extraordinary achievement. We have shared a 35-year journey with him, and I hope we all gather again to celebrate his 100th birthday.” Actor Shivaji Raja said: “I have acted in nearly 20 films directed by SV Krishna Reddy garu. My house is filled with shields and awards from those films. The characters he created for us never relied on double-meaning dialogues, and our performances never faced censorship issues. That reflects his greatness as a filmmaker.” Vedavyas Hero Pidugu Vishwanath said: “It is my good fortune to be launched as a hero by a legendary director like SV Krishna Reddy garu. I wish him many more happy birthdays and a long, successful life.” Director SV Krishna Reddy said: “This celebration became grand because so many producers, directors, actors, and well-wishers joined us. Receiving a World Record recognition for my music on my birthday is a blessing. I thank everyone who made this event successful and request your support for my upcoming film ‘Vedavyas’ as well.” Producer Achchi Reddy said: “We celebrated SV Krishna Reddy garu’s birthday, the launch of the ‘Vedavyas’ making video, and the World Record recognition ceremony in the presence of many close friends and industry colleagues. Our journey across 43 films has been possible because of the support of actors, technicians, producers, and friends. Producer Kommuri Pratap Reddy has been the backbone behind our confidence and enthusiasm. His trust and affection for Krishna Reddy garu gave us the freedom and support needed to make ‘Vedavyas.’ We believe this film will be a comeback project for all of us. For the past four to five years, we have been working on this script with a strong desire to showcase SV Krishna Reddy garu’s vision and creative power. Esteemed writers like Paruchuri Gopala Krishna and Satyanand encouraged and supported us during script development. Now that the shoot is complete, we can confidently say that Krishna Reddy garu’s vision has come alive on screen.

Drishyam 3 is doing steady business but the Rs 250 crore mark looks tough now. The film stars Mohanlal and is directed by Jeethu Joseph. It is the third part of the hit Drishyam series. The movie had a good opening and strong first weekend. The first week also held well in Kerala and other states. But the speed has slowed down in the second weekend. Many trade experts feel the film may fall short of the big target.So far Drishyam 3 has made around Rs 104 crore gross in India. The worldwide total is close to Rs 220 crore. That means the film needs about Rs 30 crore more to reach Rs 250 crore. Weekday numbers are important now. The film is getting family crowds but new releases are taking screens.Kerala, UAE, and US markets are still giving good collections. The first Drishyam in 2013 and Drishyam 2 (OTT Release) in 2021 were both blockbusters. Fans expected part 3 to break all records in Malayalam cinema. The big question is if Drishyam 3 can become the new industry hit in Mollywood. Right now that record stays with Lokah.Drishyam 3 got praise for Mohanlal’s acting and the tight script. The suspense story worked well with the audience. OTT rights and satellite deal have already given good profits to the makers. Still, the theatrical race to Rs 250 crore needs a strong second week hold. If collections stay steady, the film may get close. If not, it will end as a big hit but below the target. The Drishyam team is happy with the love from fans across India.&nbsp;

Not just the actors but also the technicians and the crew members.”She added "What I really appreciate about the Telugu film industry is their respect for everyone’s working hours. Not just the actors, but also the technicians and the crew members. Lunch break means sab log 40 minutes ke liye lunch khaake, 20 minutes ke liye nap leke aake fresh hoke acting ya apna kaam kar sakte hain. Sometimes that is compromised back home. And I think only once or twice I must have shot for all of 12 hours. Otherwise it’s almost always like 9-10 hours. And a night shoot always ends at 2 am so you are rested. I think they are very particular about things like that."&nbsp;

&nbsp;Madhavan on reinventing himself. Madhavan, speaking to scribes, shared his thoughts on reinventing. He said , “The secret is that there is no secret. I don’t do anything clandestine to look young. I don’t even pay attention to how I look until someone asks about it. I believe in eating, sleeping, and living a balanced life. I think starving to stay slim is a criminal way of trying to remain young. As for artificial ways of de-ageing, they should be strictly banned.”About his character as Gopalswamy Doraiswamy Naidu in his next film, he said, “The character was extremely slim. If I don’t match him physically, I can’t think or feel like him. What did I do? Nothing. Just some extra laps in the pool with my son.”He shared, “In my 30-year career, I’ve never encountered anything like Dhurandhar. This is something unparalleled,” and added, “You can’t rest on your laurels. You keep moving ahead and make sure the audience doesn’t get bored of you. For that, you need to keep growing and stay grounded. That’s where family comes in.” &nbsp;

Trikala - Script of God (2026): What's BehindTrikala - Script of God, Shraddha Das' fantasy thriller released on 28 May 2026. The film's OTT deal is yet to be finalised and it will be announced at a later date.Trikala - Script of God Movie: Story ReviewTrikala - Script of God story revolves around how the doings in the past life by the ancestors impact the life of a person at present and the consequences faced by them, Siva (Master Mahendran), while in search of the missing girl Nidhi (Sahiti), happens to meet Vaitharan (Ajay) through a call.This leads to startling and sensational developments and how it is connected to psychiatrist Dr. Maya (Shraddha Das) and who is Trikala Varma form the crux of the story.Trikala - Script of God Movie: Artists ReviewAjay came up with a solid performance in the role. He showed good emotions and variations in expressions and made his presence felt. Master Mahendra showed good expressions highlighting the innocence. Shraddha Das came up with a subtle performance. Tanikella Bharani came up with good performance. 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.

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. There are many scenes that dragged the narration testing the patience of the viewers. VFX and CGI are good.

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.

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.

When they joined together for Drishyam 3, expectations increased. Drishyam 3 OTT rights have been acquired for a fancy sum by Amazon Prime. Now, Drishyam 3 is racing for a grand release on 21 May 2026. Let us see what more thrills Drishyam 3 offered to movie lovers.Drishyam 3 (2026) Movie: Story ReviewDrishyam 3 story revolves around a simple family man whose haunted by the cops following the happenings when he tries to save his family from trouble. How he deals with the clear and present danger form rest of the developments.George Kutty (Mohanlal) takes a unique decision to foolproof and secure his family from getting haunted and hunted by the cops who keeps on investigating Varun murder case even after decades without closing it.

He showed the right kind of expressions and emotions according to the situation and made viewers travel along with him and tried to carry the film on his shoulders. However, his character arc is not developed properly.Meena as usual showed good emotions but they turned out to be routine and predictable. Asha Sharath is good in the role of Varun's mother. Others like Asha Sharath, Murali Gopy, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil performed according to their roles.Drishyam 3 (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDrishyam 3 is penned by Jeethu Joseph. 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.

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;

KD: The Devil (2026) Movie - What's BehindKD-The Devil Movie Hero Dhruva Sarja's high octane action entertainer KD-The Devil directed by Prem generated immense interest. The film's Telugu version is releasing on 15 May 2026. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by Amazon Prime and streaming will be after the end of its theatrical run. Let us see what KD-The Devil offered to movie lovers.KD: The Devil (2026) Movie - Story ReviewKD-The Devil story revolves around a good natured individual and how his life changes following the missteps and how he handles them. Kaalidasa aka Kaali aka KD (Dhruva Sarja) due to circumstances starts idolising &nbsp;Dhak Deva (Sanjay Dutt), who weilds an iron like grip in and around Bengaluru.Where this leads to and what roles, KD's lady love Machhlakshmi (Reeshma Nanaiah), his brother Dharma (Ramesh Aravind), Satyavati (Shilpa Shetty), Annayyappa (V.Ravichandran), Rudra Mishra (Jisshu Sen Gupta) and Kaala Bhairava (Sudeepa) form the interesting part.KD: The Devil (2026) Movie - Artists ReviewKD-The Devil Movie Hero Dhruva Sarja performed well in the role and showed good variations in his expressions and body language according to the situation. He emoted well and made his presence felt with his body language and mannerisms. He looked good on the screen and enacted intense action sequences with ease.Sanjay Dutt looked menacing on the screen. He with his persona elevated the scenes. However his role is wasted as his character arc is not developed properly. Ramesh Arvind made his presence felt as he got a role of substance.Shilpa Shetty, V. Ravichandran, Reeshma Nanaiah, Jisshu Sengupta performed their accordingly as they didnot get any scope to showcase their acting talent. Nora Fatehi sizzled in a special song. Sudeepa made his presence felt in a cameo.KD: The Devil (2026) Movie - Technicians ReviewKD-The Devil story is penned by Prem. Right from the start the story is eccentric to the core. When he entered the industry his story telling turned out to be unique but he started using the same and followed the same using technological advances offering nothing new ending up testing the patience of the viewers.The narration lacks continuity and screenplay turned out to be bizzare and viewers are left wondering what he was upto. Though Dhruva Sarja worked hard, his character turned out to be loud. Reeshama Nanaiah is ok and Sanjay Dutt's character looked extremely awkward. As the narration progresses, the viewers interest wane and when the film ends, they heave a sigh of relief.The cinematography of William David added value to the narration turning it rich. However Arjun Janya's music failed with misplaced songs and also the background score turned out to be very jarry and loud. VFX turned out to be below average and the editing Sanketh Achar failed completely. What surprised all is they completely deleted the controversial song of Norah Fatehi. Production values are good.KD: The Devil - Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e92babcd81e28be7d5eb51504ffcfe5b2">Dhruva Sarja to some extent</li><li data-list-item-id="e58a15cd31a17e29446bbea0df5beb39e">Kiccha Sudeep Cameo </li><li data-list-item-id="e4fb73d1cab0cda4bd25390c846c68061">Couple of Action Blocks</li></ul>KD: The Devil - Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e774d096b6696162bf1c30e137593971d">Predictable Story</li><li data-list-item-id="e10426125bfffb2f67a3163f679a5987f">BGM </li><li data-list-item-id="e97d70c5895279b51dfc65fcabe7e0f94">Loud Dialogues </li><li data-list-item-id="ebf562b0ca6082677383313dab666cfac">Extreme Violence</li></ul>KD: The Devil (2026) Movie - Rating AnalysisAltogether, KD-The Devil turns out to be a complete disappointment. Prem as the director failed to get the optimum from the cast and crew. Despite the presence of top stars like Sanjay Dutt and performer like Dhruva Sarja, instead of concentrating on coming with strong story, he paid attention to action sequences and extreme violence. Even the character arcs are underdeveloped and actors turned out to be mere puppets. He lacked the conviction and sticking to his old proven formula turned out to be a drawback. he failed completely with his screenplay, story and direction. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for KD: The Devil.
