Now a days almost all the stars are coming up with their own multiplexes. Mahesh Babu, Venkatesh, Allu Arjun, Ravi Teja and Vijay Deverakonda and others already have their own multiplexes and many more like Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, NTR are showing interest .Producer, director Madhura Sreedhar says “I want more superstars to enter the theatre business. Multiplexes are the future of the cinema-viewing experience, and slowly, single screens may go out of business over the next five years,”He added "Telugu stars feel proud of owning theatres as it gives them a different feel. Even superstars like Rajinikanth and Shah Rukh Khan don’t have this advantage,”He points out “A 250-300-seat multiplex theatre will be the next big attraction for youngsters and families. Single screens, with seating capacities of 700 to 1,000, are finding it increasingly difficult to get housefuls even for a few days a week, making their maintenance difficult,”He continued “I would thank Suniel Narang for being a catalyst in creating a healthy ecosystem in the exhibition sector. He was able to bring stars like Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, Ravi Teja and Vijay Deverakonda, along with Venkatesh, into the theatre business. He has been able to work out deals with them, and the brand value of such theatres is always high. Audiences throng these theatres because they offer the best film-viewing experience,”On high prices on beverages, he says “That has to be tackled to some extent. Otherwise, multiplexes offer several advantages, including multilingual movie options, better sound and lighting, and an overall superior viewing experience,”A single screen theatre owner says “Single screens will remain forever because of fan festivities, cut-outs and milk abhishekams. It is a celebration for superstar fans, while multiplexes don’t allow such festivities and deprive fans of that happiness,”He shares “Box-office collections from single screens can never be replaced. They will always remain a matter of pride for Telugu stars and their fans.”He concludes “Re-releases of star movies have revived our hopes and encouraged us to screen more films. We were worried that audiences were skipping theatres to watch movies on digital platforms, but big stars brought the crowds back and gave single-screen theatres a new lease of life,” ---- Pramod Nandivada

Now a days big banners are not just focussing on film producing but also on having their own production setup. A top production house is planning to come up with a huge studio spiralling around hundreds of actres. If this is true than , there will be drastic changes in the shooting plans in Tollywood. If a top banner from Tollywood invests so much money on infrastructure, then it will not just be a shooting spot.In the longterm, the eco system may contemplate on having different shooting sets, indoor floors, post production under one roof. This will reduce the dependencey on outsiders for all the small things. Now many pan India films are coming and many are on the anvil. Under these circumstances makers have huge tensions in production planning. If they have a own setup, they can easily plan the schedeules of various films easlily.They can have regular sets as it is and this will reduce the waiting time for the locations and complete the shooting at quick pace. Apart from it, when a banner is coming up with 2-3 films at a time, this model will help superbly. Producers can handle multiple projects without any tensions and confusion. They can complete the films without compromising on the quality. Now a days filmmaking is not just Camera and Action but they need strong technical support to compete at global level.---- Pramod Nandivada

&nbsp;&nbsp;Pan India craze increasing duology pressure on directors. Any pan-India project is triggering discussion among movie lovers whether the film is a duology or triology. Even before the start of the shooting, rumours spread that the film will be a duology and speculation increase over franchise.If the film turns out to be a blockbuster, bringing a sequel to it is the best option. However, even before the result of the first part , coming up with the second part completely changes the project span. Gone are the days when the makers used to think of the sequels only after the film turned out to be a hit. Now, under the changed circumstances, makers are facing immense tensions and challenges in deciding on the sequels.Directors are facing commitment pressures as to whether they have to narrate the story in one or two parts and judging the audience pulse when the sequel is forced dragging the first part. Director due to this may not show his original vision on the screen. However, heroes and producers are keen to cash in to the craze with the talk of franchise. Franchise will give star heroes the option of keeping their market intact. Creative differences may occur if the team priorities donot match.The main point is whether the story requires two parts or whether the sequel tag is used only for the business model. If the sequel is planned without the demand in the story, the first part content may get impacted. However, if the viewers get connected to the first part, the second part will get huge hype. So pan-India trend and production of the projects are now becoming a challenge. Though it is good for the business to decide on the sequel at the start of the project, the hero,director and producer thought process should be in sync with the story to turn the project a successful venture at the box office.&nbsp; - Pramod Nandivada

What role Bharghavi (Yukthi Thareja) and others played form the interesting part.KJQ (King Jackie Queen) Movie: Artists ReviewDheekshith Shetty played the role with ease. He looked menacing on screen. He showed good body language, mannerisms and expressions that comes out of anger after all he went through from his childhood days.Sashi Odela on debut came up with a sedate performance. He came up with relatable expressions and delivered dialogues accordingly.Yukthi Thareja is good on screen and indulged in glamor feast in couple of scenes. She delivered dialogues as per the situation. Muralidhar Goud and others performed according to their roles.KJQ (King Jackie Queen) Movie: Technicians ReviewKJQ story is penned by KK (Krishna Kumar). He came up with a simple but interesting story where he tried to explore the feelings and change of behavioral pattern among humans born in different situations. He establishes three characters King, Jackie and Queen in an interesting and exciting manner.However he fails to explore them deeply by elevating their character arcs. He touched only at the top of them and one gets a feeling that the job was only half done. While the first half established the characters of various people, second half tried to show them when they reach their peaks. There are few interesting scenes but with better screenplay, things would have become more interesting.The cinematography of Nagesh Banell is good. He showed the scenes in a visually appealing manner. The music of Tejaswi Poornachandra is good. The background score of Saumit Deshmukh is good and added value to the narration. Dialogues are impactful. Editing of Shravan Katikaneni is ok but could have been far better. Production values are good.KJQ Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0d342cc44012b5f4cde20bf6297a9336">Dheekshith Shetty</li></ul>KJQ Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e7d5a99420903c023876fa2ff233e86ba">Routine Elements</li><li data-list-item-id="e0f124668d459d132e135e34f80c453f5">Predictable Template</li></ul>KJQ (King Jackie Queen) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, KJQ turns out to be decent action entertainer. Director KK got the optimum from the cast and crew and Dheekshith Shetty, Yukthi Thareja, Sashi Odela came up with spirited performances. Director KK seems to have drawn inspiration from Maniratnam's classic Thalapathi and the characters more or less resembled the same. A little finetuning of the script, even powerful screenplay and gripping narration exploring the three characters divining deep into them would have turned the output into a more powerful and impactful one. Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for KJQ.

The film directed by Arun Matheswaran is releasing on 7 August 2026. Let us see what DC offered to movie lovers.DC(2026) Movie: Story ReviewDC story revolves around a youngster who fights against all odds and takes on the system to fight against the injustice meted out to the oppressed lot. Das aka Devdas (Lokesh Kanagaraj) happens to meet a beautiful girl Parvathi (Sanjana Krishnamurthy). But even before love blossoms between them, shocking incidents happen. Where this leads to and what role Devdas father (Kasturi Raja), Chandra (Wamiqa Gabbi), Gangster Sarkar, Police Officer Bhojraj (Krish Dayal) played form rest of the developments.DC(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewLokesh Kanagaraj on debut virtually lived in the role. He made a stunning impact with his performance showing variations in his mannerisms, dialogue delivery, attitude, style and swag. He impressed with his expressions and emotions.Sanjana Krishnamurthy performed well showing good emotions and expressions and made an impression. Wamiqa Gabbri surprises with her intense performance. She elevated the scenes with her screen presence. Kasturi Raja impressed especially in the climax. Krish Dhayal who played the role of police officer did well. However his role could have been even more powerful.DC(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewDC story is penned by Arun Matheswaran. He came up with a simple story and blended it with action and romantic elements. Many expects Lokesh Kanagaraj to debut with an action entertainer. But the story had completely different blend of police atrocities and a commoner's fight against them. Arun Matheswaran did not deviate from the subject and even drag the romantic and love tracks with unnecessary lip locks, hugs and songs.Though even few romantic scenes slowed the pace of the film, he ensured that he quicky shifted to action genre to keep viewers interest glued. The first half ends on a decent note with the cat and mouse game between the cops and the rebels. The second half continues in the same way with the introduction of new characters and the pre climax connects chords with all with the film finally ending on a predictable note. The predictability in the story, illogical scenes and few boring elements undid all the hard work.The cinematography of Mukesh is good. He showed the period look in the story in a appealing and relatable manner. Anirudh Ravichander's tunes for the songs are just ok. The songs had a montage touch. But he elevated the scenes with his unique and terrific background score. He showed variety in the background music. He showed his creativity by scoring background in a poetic manner. Prasanna. GK's editing is quite fine but at times there are few repetitive elements. Dialogues are realistic and the production values of Sun Pictures are grand.DC Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec41f8dd65c1d46e3a4ba15e71491180b">Lokesh Kanagaraj</li><li data-list-item-id="e438ba9885bfbee03136e954d56f5026a">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e42b29190707dff5dbbb99547855af6b8">Cinematography</li></ul>DC Movie: DisadvantagesPredictable StoryIllogical ScenesDC(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, DC turns out to be predictable action thriller.Lokesh Kanagaraj made a strong impact in the lead role but Arun Matheswaran came up with a simple story.

A little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay with interesting twists and turns would have added power to the narration.

He came up with a hilarious horror thriller to entertain movie lovers. He starts the narration in a stylish manner in Korea before moving to Penugonda . After the introduction of protagonist in a typical mass way &nbsp;he shows the heroine. The narration treads in a familiar trope and screenplay assumes a routine flavor. To the top of it, the over usage of Korean language puts off the viewers. The interval sequence and the possession of the spirit excites all, setting the tone for the second half.The second half's gangster role is dragged to the core. While few comedy scenes involving Varun Tej and Satya evoked laughter, others looked forced. The climax takes everyone by surprise and though looked different didn't leave the desired impact. The story ends in a funny way with the lead to the sequel.Thaman's music offered nothing new. The songs are few and didn't make much impact. Thaman's background music followed the same template. He however with the background music elevated the scenes. Manojh Reddy with his Cinematography showed the scenes in a realistic way. CGI and VFX looked subpar. Editing of Satya G left a lot to be desired. Dialogues are ok and couple of them are hilarious. Production values are good.Korean Kanakaraju Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e8fdad5432b6ff007c72bc6e2229aa4da">Varun Tej Transformation</li><li data-list-item-id="ee24e78c55d105daa278ed5f2ea689dd7">Satya's Comedy</li><li data-list-item-id="e83732afeb03b546708cb006f46ecf0a6">Thaman's background music</li></ul>Korean Kanakaraju Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e051eacc796b9b4ce68b8e2a0228b45f4">Korean Dialogues</li><li data-list-item-id="e69444c2f8d803e2af03da0d9bbc387e8">Illogical Scenes</li></ul>Korean Kanakaraju (2026) Movie:Rating AnalysisAltogether, Korean Kanakaraju turns out to be a hilarious entertainer. Varun Tej came up with an impressive and terrific performance. However, Merlapaka Gandhi though came up with an interesting story, he ended up confusing viewers with lot of Korean language dialogues and also few unnecessary scenes.

He made his presence felt in the scenes involving courtroom drama. Though such roles are tailor made for him, he added value with his performance.Mukesh Rishi is seen after a longtime and he made an impact. However his character lacked depth and under developed. Rayala Harischandra played the role of the father in a natural manner elevating the emotions. Ananya Sharma impressed with her energetic performance. Snehal Kamath did well highlighting the emotions in her role. She in fact lived in her role. Sameer is good in his role and so was Gemini Suresh.Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Technicians ReviewObjection My Lord story is penned by director Santosh Ayyappan. The series comes with 7 episodes and each episode has the duration of 25-35 minutes. Many gripping courtroom dramas like Amitabh Bachchan's Pink and its remake Pawan Kalyan's Vakeel Saab came. He drew inspiration from them and tried to tell them in a realistic way.The narration starts in an interesting manner and the director does well balancing both sides of the views. The first three episodes keep the interest levels intact, but when one expects it to reach the next level with intense courtroom arguments, the director loses steam.From then on everything turns repetitive, testing the patience of the viewers. The slow pace of the narration ends up irritating the people. Dialogues turnout to be pretty ordinary. The expected emotions and drama in the courtroom arguments goes missing completely. Even the character arcs are not created properly after the initial introduction. The series and the narration lacked the required twists and turns.The first four episodes are predictable and offer no real twists. The fifth episode had a small twist but it did not excite anyone. The entry of Sameera only generates little interest. Many characters and their relations are not established properly and also there are many illogical scenes and convenient episodes.The background score of Anil Chiluvuru is good. However the cinematography of Suryaa and editing of Kishore turned out to be below average. Production values are decent.Objection My Lord Web Series: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e1d2e423b3717267070631790295a3795">Srikanth</li><li data-list-item-id="e782ee30177a02763c3ae97ef22e048c9">Few Scenes in The Court</li></ul>Objection My Lord Web Series: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eb04034c28c29b4175bc19f6385771c34">Missing Confrontation</li><li data-list-item-id="e44cd351a8887c6d22de6b4060954a7b1">Slow Narration</li></ul>Objection My Lord (2026) Web Series: Rating AnalysisObjection My Lord turns out to be a pretty ordinary, subpart courtroom drama. Srikanth came up with a spirited performance and carried the episodes on his shoulders but director Santosh Ayyappan failed to generate interest with his substandard screenplay and direction. He failed completely to create a gripping conflict and the weak characters spoiled the essence. He should have worked hard on the script and screenplay and character arcs to connect chords with the viewers. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Objection My Lord.

She played the lead role and her intensity helped to maintain the interest levels through out the film. She emoted and expressed well and also came up with impactful dialogues. She even expressed through her eyes.Abhirami looked good on the screen. She is intense in her expressions and emotions and increased the seriousness and ferocity in her character. Anand is fine in the role of Abhirami's husband in the film. He at the start evoked sympathy and then the twist surprises. Samuthirakhani made his presence felt showing different shades with ease.Madhunandan, Vaishnav, Dhanraj, Raghava, Aishwarya, Gaddam Naveen passed through the motions. The comedy scenes featuring Dhanraj, Rocket Raghava and others didnot get the desired result.Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewThe story of Karmakhya is penned by Abhinaya Krishna. He tried to come up with a thriller based on the spiritual elements. He starts the narration revealing the importance of Kaamakhya Sakthi Peetham in Guwahati but the introduction of other characters slowed the pace of the film.The narration picks of pace in a slow and steady manner and it reaches peaks once the characters of Abhirami and others are introduced. But once again the Samuthirakhani character puts off all initially with the weak role. The second half screenplay turns out to be racy and director decided to concentrate on main plot rather than spend time on unnecessary comedy scenes. The twists and the climax take the film to the next level.Kushender Ramesh Reddy with his cinematography added value to the narration. He with his camera angles got the desired impact on the screen. Gyaani's background music elevated the scenes and ensured the narration sails smoothly maintaining the same tempo. The editing of Sree Varaprasad is ok but could have been better as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are decent and production values are good.Karmakhya Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ecbf06dff5d988187173efeb800a4c6d4">Samaira, Abhirami</li><li data-list-item-id="e1cce435ac441106b8c3d246d67a8ef62">Few Twists</li></ul>Karmakhya Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0bb35decba20c6c73dc8a275427532aa">Lack of Interesting Elements</li><li data-list-item-id="ee54643c4aaf85742fc8bfe6a351357c1">Repetitive Scenes</li></ul>Karmakhya (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether Karmakhya &nbsp;turns out to be an average thriller. Debutante Samaira, Abhirami, and Anand came up with good performances and Samuthirakhani made an impact in the climax. Director Abhinaya Krishna tried to impress viewers with the blend of supernatural and thrilling elements touching on the witchcraft rituals and human sacrifices. However, the deviations in the start, slow pace in the narration and repetitive scenes undid all his good intentions. Rework on the script, a racy screenplay and few more twists and turns and doing away with mundane elements would have added value to the final outcome. Considering all these elements,Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Karmakhya.

He used the camera angles and color combinations to maximum impact to show night scenes in an effective and realistic way. Anil Palasa's editing turned out to be a mixed bag. His editing is tight for most of the first half but he lost focus in the second half including many unnecessary and repetitive scenes.The background music of Sinjith Yerramilli created a good impact and elevated the scenes to the next level taking viewers into the narration keeping the interest levels intact.

Srinivasa Mangapuram Artists ReviewJai Krishna on debut worked hard to show his talent. He made an impact with his screen presence. He looked charming, young, and exuberant and impressed with his innocent looks and dialogue delivery. He enacted stunts in a stylish and with effortless ease.

She, however, came up with a singular expression. She expressed well in a few scenes. At times she looked gorgeous.Mohan Babu added value with his screen presence. However, his character is not developed at all and it is a huge disappointment. Kick Shyam made an impact with his performance. Naresh and Brahmaji failed with their comedy that is cringe to the core. Ajay, Vasuki and others just passed through the motions.&nbsp;Srinivasa Mangapuram Technicians ReviewSrinivasa Mangapuram story is penned by Ajay Bhupathi. He tried to entertain viewers with an intense love story in the action backdrop. Right from the start till the finish, much to the shock to all he followed the same routine outdated formula which wouldn't have worked even two decades back.The narration has the same commercial elements, hero introduction, hero-heroine romantic track, stunts and songs, etc. The first half is full of such scenes, and the narration goes on testing the patience of all with slow pace, predictable screenplay, and outdated story.The hope of better second half nosedives completely with even more monotonous scenes. After a point of time, people look towards the exit door for respite. Even the entry of Mohan Babu doesn't improve the narration and add value to the proceedings.The music tuned GV Prakash Kumar tuned offered nothing new. The songs just come and go like a template and do not add any value to the narration and story. Instead, they turned out to be speed brakers. The background score tuned by GV Prakash Kumar elevated few scenes.Jayakrishna Gummadi with his Cinematography showed the Tirupati locations and proceedings in an appealing manner. He, with his camera angles, showed the scenes naturally.The editing of Madhav Kumar Gullapalli left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. However, he couldn't be blamed because as had he been diligent, there wouldn't have been any film. Dialogues are routine and pretty ordinary. Production values are decent.Srinivasa Mangapuram Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ea182c9450686c2bc3b99ca8c7e5f143a">Jai Krishna</li></ul>Srinivasa Mangapuram Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e9b1f83f9f4b3f01107c00f39577c231b">Redundant, Obsolete Story</li><li data-list-item-id="ee4c0d4a35e1a30346d3987bbd3b9903d">Screenplay, Direction</li></ul>Srinivasa Mangapuram Rating AnalysisAltogether, Srinivasa Mangapuram is an outdated romantic action entertainer. Expectations increased over Jai Krishna's debut as he is the super Star Krishna's grandson. Many expected Ajay Bhupathi to come with a film that connects chords with the genex movie lovers. Jai Krishna put in sincere effort and his hard work is seen in the intense performance on the screen. But Ajay Bhupathi failed to do justice to the trust shown by Ajay Bhupathi. He disappointed everyone with the outdated story, patience testing screenplay and direction. Wonder how the project was given the green signal. No amount of tweaking the script would have changed the fortunes. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 &nbsp;rating for Srinivasa Mangapuram.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The first half sails smoothly with simple scenes like introduction of the hero and heroine and few comedy scenes before the blossoming of romance.

Vetri (Vijay) is on a mission to raise young girl Vijji (Mamitha Baiju) as a fearless person. However she has her own problems and these are compounded when Vetri findsout that some unknown elements are out to eleminate her.What is Vijji's problem, who are the unknown elements, how it is connected to Crime Reporter Kayal (Pooja Hegde), Vijji's father Srikanth (Gautam Menon),CM (Nassar), Amrish Pujari aka John Himler (Bobby Deol), Leela Rani (Priyamani) form the interesting part.Jana Nayakudu (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVijay did well in his role. The role is tailormade for him and he did full justice. However there is nothing much to rave about is role and performance. He followed the same template mannerisms, dialogue delivery and style statement and body language. After the passage of time, one gets a feeling that he just passed through the motions and artificiality crept in.Pooja Hegde played the female lead and she did what was required from her. Her role is mostly insignificant. Mamitha Baiju played the &nbsp;all important role that is pivotal to the story and the proceedings. She is just ok with her performance. She failed to connect chords emotionally and elsewise.Bobby Deol played the role of the antagonist. His role turned out to be a caricature and could be a meme fest. His character turned out to be weak. Prakash Raj is just ok with his performance. Priyamani, Nassar, Sunil and others completed the cast are turned into dummies.Jana Nayakudu (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewJana Nayagan aka Jana Nayakudu story is penned by H.Vinoth. Though he claimed that the film is not the remake of Bhagawanth Kesari and he took few scenes, most of the first half is similar to Bhagawanth Kesari except for few changes here and there. The first half starts with Vijay trying to raise his daughter without any fear and then the narration shifts to the introduction of the antagonist. The entire antagonist episode and there after looks silly and ridiculous to the core.The substandard and poor graphics turned the scenes into a tedious watch. the first half turns out to be stale with no real high elements. The second half continues in the similar manner and the core soul and emotion of Bhagawanth Kesari's Beti Ko Sher Banao goes for a toss. The pre climax and climax turns out to be childish with video game like elements. One gets a feeling that even video games or TV serials have better graphics.Anirudh Ravichander is known for his impactful works and he tuned the music and composed BGM for the film. However it turned out to be extremely disappointing as the songs failed to entertain and also not shot in an appealing manner. His background music failed to make any impact. He couldn't be blamed as the narration did not give him chance to do so. The editing of Pradeep Raghav turned out to be miserable. There are many scenes that tested the patience of the viewers. Had he used the editing scissors there wouldn't have been any film at all. The cinematography of Satyan Sooran became a disappointing affair. The dialogues failed to connect chords and most of them are politically motivated.

H.Vinoth got the golden opportunity to direct Vijay's last film. Vijay put in sincere efforts and Vinoth drawing inspiration from Balakrishna's Bhagawanth Kesari came up with Jana Nayakudu. Instead of elevating the emotions to the next level and better than the original, Vinoth concentrated on elevating the heroism of Vijay and also promote his political ideology. This resulted in the film turning out into a half baked one. Even the elevation scenes failed to make an impact and Vinoth shockingly killed the soul of the original. He failed completely with his story, screenplay and direction. The so called changes he made to the original instead of adding value, diluted the essence of the film and the message it intended to give to the society. Jana Nayakudu is touted to be the farewell film for Vijay but it turned out to be a failed farewell. He deserved better rather than this crap. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Jana Nayakudu.

Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: What's BehindYoung and talented actor Thiruveer is coming to entertain movie lovers with the film titled Oh Sukumari. The film directed by Bharat Darshan is releasing on 17 July 2026. The film's OTT rights have been acquired by Amazon Prime. Let us see what the film offered to movie lovers.Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Story ReviewOh Sukumari story revolves around a youngster who tries to win his political battle and also win the property of his ancestor which comes with a condition. Yadagiri (Thiruveer) is on a mission to get married within no time and finally falls for a beautiful girl Damini (Aishwarya Rajesh).Why Yadagairi is in a hurry to get married and what shock he faces after he enters into wedlock with Damini, what roles Damini's father Chandraiah (Kota Jayaram), Thiruveer's mother (Aamani), village sarpanch (Muralidhar Goud), influential lady (Jhansi) &nbsp;form the interesting part.Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewThiruveer performed in his role in an effective manner. He showed good emotions and expressions according to the situation. However he did not get much scope to elevate the scenes due to weak characterization.Aishwarya Rajesh performed her role quite well. She looked good on screen in some scenes. At times however she looked odd. She delivered dialogues with ease.There are many other actors in the film like Jhansi, Muralidhar Goud, Aamani, Anji Mama, Kota Jayaram, Gavireddy Srinivas, Kranti Balivada, Saranya Pradeep etc and they try their best to entertain viewers. However, only to some extent they succeed.Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewOh Sukumari story is penned by Bharat Darshan. He tried to attract viewers with a hilarious entertainer. He came up with an interesting idea but even before one could get excited, right from the start till the finish, he filled it with numerous cringe elements, be it emotions and hilarious scenes.The entire first half is filled with repetitive scenes, monotonous elements and routine flavor. Many expected the second half to fare better but it sailed in the similar manner. Bharat tested the patience of all with weak screenplay and writing. Many scenes which are expected to take emotions to new heights turned out to be artificial and outdated. The climax turned out to be silly and ordinary.The music and songs of Bharat Machiraju turns out to be a disappointment. None of the songs impresses. To the top of it, he failed completely with his background music. Kushender CH showed the rural atmosphere with his camera angles in an appealing manner. However there isn't much left for him to showcase in the film. The editing of Sree Varaprasad failed to the core. There are many scenes that are repetitive and tested the patience of the movie lovers. Dialogues are pretty ordinary. Production values are just ok.Oh SukumariMovie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e5123d676677c7d1184345d1e8d224b43">Thiruveer - Aishwarya Rajesh</li></ul>Oh Sukumari Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec689e27b1a74d0cf0d6254adbaececc0">Outdated Narration</li><li data-list-item-id="e1fbc026301b22019e3772a76d1f0199c">Listless Writing</li></ul>Oh Sukumari (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Oh Sukumari turns out to be silly and outdated entertainer. Though Thiruveer and Aishwarya Rajesh came up with spirited performances, Bharat Darshan failed to do justice to the interesting point. One wonders how the makers proceeded ahead with the project. His writing turned out to be weak and the scenes looked odd and outdated and screenplay lacked everything. The script itself doesn't excite anyone. No amount of rework would have changed the quality or the end result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Oh Sukumari. &nbsp;

Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: What's BehindAtharvaa's Tamil film Idhayam Murali is releasing in Telugu as Hrudayam Murali on 10July 2026. The film directed by Aakash Baskaran is generating interest among movie lovers as the film is named after Atharvaa's father Murali's cult classic Idhayam which turned out to be a hit. The film released in Telugu as Hrudayam and captured the imagination of all. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by Netflix and streaming willbe after the completion of its theatrical run.Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Story ReviewHrudayam Murali story revolves around a youngster's experiences after he falls in love and the happenings in his life and the surprising developments.Hrudaya (Atharvaa Murali) is unable to express his feelings and emotions due to the circumstances he was raised. Where this leads to when he comes across Samyuktha and Samantha (Priety Mukhundhan), Dr Amudha (Kayadu Lohar) and what roles his uncle Thanga (Natarajan Subramanian) , Teacher Geeta (Jonitha Gandhi) and his friends Dr. Sachin (Thaman), (Niharika NM, Rakshan, Sudhakar, Dravid Selvam and Angelin ), Surya( Fahadh Faasil) play form the rest of the narration.Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAtharvaa Murali is good in his role. He performed in a realistic way highlighting the weak traits commendably. He shows the feelings in a convincing manner. Priety Mukhundhan's role is good but her charater is under developed. Kayadu Lohar appears in a cameo and she does justice elevating the emotions perfectly. Natarajan Subramaniam is good in the role of the uncle.Fahad Faasil is good in the cameo. He impresses with his antics.Others like Natty, Thaman S, Niharika, Rakshan, Dravid Selvam, Angeline, Anju Kurian, Sudhakar, Yashashree, Jonita Gandhi performed according to their roles.Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewHrudayam Murali story is penned by Aakash Baskaran. He tried to entertain movie lovers with a breezy romantic entertainer and drew inspiration from Atharvaa's father Murali's classic Hrudyam. The narration starts with the introduction of Atharvaa's character through Fahad Faasil's voice over and his personality and his thought process.Fahad Faasil highlights the mood of the viewers with his oneliners quite aptly while the narration got the hilarious touch with the actor &nbsp;Sudhakar. Fahad Faasil not only entertains but also mocks the character of Atharvaa and also the film's screenplay to leave all amused.But except for the two characters the film offers nothing new or exciting and turns out to be a tedious watch. The narration is stretched and screenplay is dragged to the core on a small point that hero cannot express his feelings for more than two and half hours.The film's convenient narration with Priety Mukhundhan's character disappearing surprisingly disappoints all. The convenient screenplay results in various characters appearing and disappearing as per the whims and fancies ot the director. The story offers nothing new and it is dragged completely with the pre decided runtime. To the top of it,the lead character not undergoing any transformation for almost 90% of the film tests the patience of the viewers.Director spent most of the time, highlighting the relationship between the lead character and his uncle and the girls in his life and in turn misses the emotional connection completely.The cinematography of Manoj Paramahansa showed the scenes in a natural and appealing manner. Thaman's songs failed to impress and it would have been better had the makers done away with them. His background music is just ok. The editing of &nbsp;Pradeep E Ragav left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that tested the patience of the viewers and could have easily been chopped off. Production values are ok.Hrudayam Murali Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ec8666aee2dcfddddcfc4c15d3385a992">Few Hilarious Scenes</li></ul>Hrudayam Murali Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0a6360738e754e677eb1c728bb26d270">Screenplay</li><li data-list-item-id="eb2bbe48bd0b27f0fdbdb47dcc925673b">Story, Direction</li><li data-list-item-id="ed52267bd3888c381de7db15e2a905972">Dragged Narration</li></ul>Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Hrudayam Murali turns out to be an predictable romantic entertainer. Director Aakash Baskaran drew inspiration from yesteryear classic Hrudayam. After selecting small point, right from the first scene, he kept on dragging the narration with repetitive scenes. The screenplay is slow to the core and the script offered nothing new. There is nothing &nbsp;much to rave about the film and viewers will have a sigh of relief when the film ends. Considering all these elements, goes with 2 rating for Hrudayam Murali.&nbsp; &nbsp;

I, Nobody (2026) Movie: What's BehindPrithviraj Sukumaran is known for his interesting and exciting entertainers. His upcoming film I, Nobody directed by Nissam Basir hit the screens on 10 July 2026. Let us see what impact it created on the movie lovers.I, Nobody (2026) Movie: Story ReviewI, Nobody revolves around the money heist and how a middle class family gets affected and the developments in the aftermath of it. Rajeevan (Prithviraj Sukumaran), a government employee leads a happy life with his wife Meera (Parvathy Thiruvothu) and two daughters.However, his happy life gets rocked when money heist hits him hard without his involvement. Where this leads to and how he wriggles out of it, form the interesting part.I, Nobody (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewPrithviraj Sukumaran lived in his role. He performed well as a middle class husband and father and came up with realistic and natural performance. However he did not get much chance to show variations in his expressions as he played the serious role throughout the film. He enacted high octane stunts with ease.Parvathy Thiruvotthu performed well as a mother of kids and wife. Both her and Prithviraj Sukumaran's roles are completely different from the regular films.Baby Nakshatra, Baby Ira played key roles. Ira generates few laughs. Hakim Shajahan and others performed according to their roles.I, Nobody (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewI, Nobody story is penned by Nissam Basir. He decided to thrill the views with money heist story. The story revolves around robberies and scams. He managed to excite all with the thrilling elements with the scenes before and after the robberies. He highlighted how the opinions of people and middle class family changes in the backdrop of money heist.Interest levels increase with the starting scene of the bank robbery which takes viewers into the story. However later the introduction of characters slowed the pace of the narration. But the twists and turns involving the lead character and others and the negative shades increases the curiosity levels. The police investigation and others in the first half brings and end setting the tone for the exciting second half.However, the second half goes for a toss with the hero kidnap scene and various sub plots. While the first half is natural, the second half had shades of artificiality and illogical scenes. Couple of scenes in the second half turns it into a decent one.Ramess' Editing could have been far better as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the film especially in the second half. Cinematography showed the scenes in a natural and realistic manner and Dinesh Purushottaman followed the standard template and took viewers into the story. JakesBejoy's background score is in sync with the story and he managed to keep the scenes the intensity levels intact. Production values are good.I, Nobody Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="efac77570c94718f6dd2d42e0fb573674">Prithviraj Sukumaran</li><li data-list-item-id="ea4f4d8838a99ac030261fccca3a6627d">Cinematography</li><li data-list-item-id="e91a967198e6f355d36cf2fdfd80b11ff">BGM</li><li data-list-item-id="e9fe24b1d186dc031d3fed2d4c5f89d13">Few Twists</li></ul>I, Nobody Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e7d8d32d6ea681235eb4429f052dec645">Slow Pace</li></ul>I, Nobody (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, I Nobody turns out to be a decent thriller. Prithviraj Sukumaran and Parvathy Thiruvottu came up with good performances. Director Nissam Basir came up with a known story but with his screenplay tried to thrill viewers. He emerged successful for most of the first half but lost plot in the second half. A little bit finetuning of the script, doing away with illogical elements and racy screenplay would have added value to the narration. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for I, Nobody.
