Speaking on the occasionSenior actor Suman, who plays a key role in the film, said: “Many people have already proved that talent is more important than glamour in the film industry. The same can be said about our hero Sriram, who has immense talent. He has delivered a very good performance in the dual role. My character in this film is quite different. I play the Chief Minister, a role that delivers a strong social message.“Director Yeddanapudi Maikil &nbsp;is a filmmaker with great clarity. Producer Lakshman garu has also played the villain in the film, and he has performed very well. This is a very good story, and the twists are quite interesting. I am confident that the film will appeal to everyone. If audiences encourage films like this, more new actors, filmmakers, and producers will get an opportunity to enter the industry.”Producer and actor Anumula Lakshman Rao said: “We are extremely happy with the output of our film. Along with producing the movie, I also played the villain. In the first half, I will be seen as a wild and ruthless villain. My character has been an MLA for 20 years and controls the entire village in an authoritarian manner. The scenes between my character and Suman garu, who plays the Chief Minister, will entertain the audience.“We shot the film in the forests of Maredumilli, and the visuals will be spectacular.

Heroine Swathi also extended tremendous cooperation. Even though we did not have many facilities, she supported us throughout the shoot.“Along with directing the film, I also worked on the story, dialogues, and songs, and choreographed two songs. It is very difficult for new artists and new directors to enter the film industry, so I am grateful to everyone who has supported us. We have proved that anyone can achieve success with hard work.“I already feel as though this is a success meet for me. The title has a positive vibe, and the story also carries a positive vibe. The father-and-son emotion in the film will connect with everyone. We are going to offer the audience a complete cinematic feast with this movie. I would like to extend my special thanks to Suman garu.”Hero Sriram said: “Audiences should look at the content rather than deciding whether a film is big or small. As Telugu people, we are often the ones who pull each other down. Only when we encourage one another can we prove ourselves.“This film has a lot of strength. I have acted in thirteen films so far, and I can confidently say that this movie will be wonderful. It is a privilege to act alongside Suman garu. We are coming before the audience with strong content, and I am sure everyone will enjoy the film.

The incident occurred near a college, where Rolla Prem Kumar, a resident of Bendamurlanka working in Hyderabad, had returned home to celebrate the actor’s birthday with close friends and local supporters.According to reports, Prem Kumar was helping install the birthday flex when it accidentally came into contact with an overhead electricity wire. He suffered a severe electric shock and died at the spot.

However, safety concerns surrounding large flex installations remain serious today and strongly.Similar electrocution incidents involving Pawan Kalyan fans have occurred during earlier celebrations, including fatal banner accidents in Andhra Pradesh.

&nbsp;&nbsp; Yash’s Toxic has reportedly crossed the ₹300 crore worldwide gross mark in seven days, with approximately ₹262 crore coming from India and nearly ₹40 crore from overseas markets. While the milestone appears impressive, the film’s reported ₹800 crore breakeven target makes the first week performance concerning. Negative word of mouth has affected momentum significantly.The India business reportedly includes around ₹62 crore from Karnataka, ₹30 crore from the Telugu states and approximately ₹15 crore from Tamil Nadu and Kerala combined. The remaining ₹155 crore has come from Hindi version. This regional imbalance has become an important talking point.Toxic began its theatrical journey with enormous expectations surrounding Yash’s return after KGF: Chapter 2. The opening benefited from his pan-India popularity and strong advance interest, but reports indicate that negative audience reactions and mixed word of mouth caused collections to fall sharply after the initial rush. The film struggled to maintain that momentum thereafter.With worldwide earnings reportedly crossing ₹300 crore, Toxic still remains significantly below its reported ₹800 crore breakeven requirement. If these trade figures are accurate, the film has recovered considerably less than the amount required to reach profitability. Unless collections improve substantially in the coming days, Toxic could face a disappointing theatrical verdict. - Veda

&nbsp;Power Star Pawan Kalyan is one of those rare personalities whose journey has gone far beyond the boundaries of cinema. As he celebrates his birthday, fans across Telugu states celebrate not just the actor who delivered several memorable blockbusters but also the leader who rose through political struggles to become the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.Born as Konidela Kalyan Babu, Pawan Kalyan entered the film industry in the 1990s and initially carried a relatively reserved personality. However, his unique style, screen presence, intense performances and unconventional approach soon helped him create an identity independent of his illustrious family background. Over the years, the Power Star image became much bigger than a conventional film star tag, with his fans developing an emotional connection with his personality, attitude and ideology.From Early Struggles To Becoming A Power StarPawan Kalyan made his acting debut with Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi in 1996 and gradually made his presence felt with films such as Gokulamlo Seetha and Suswagatham. The major turning point arrived with Tholi Prema, which became a landmark success and established him as one of the most promising young stars in Telugu cinema. He subsequently delivered memorable films including Thammudu, Badri and Kushi, strengthening his image as a youth icon. His popularity grew further with Jalsa, Gabbar Singh and Attarintiki Daredi, OG among others.Pawan Kalyan was never an actor who simply followed the conventional formula. His distinctive body language, dialogue delivery, rebellious attitude and willingness to experiment gave his films a special identity. Even during phases when his movies faced commercial setbacks, his fan following remained remarkably strong.The Turning Point: Pawan Kalyan Enters PoliticsPawan Kalyan surprised the political landscape by launching the Jana Sena Party in 2014. His decision to move from the glamorous world of cinema into politics represented one of the biggest turning points in his life. Rather than treating politics as an extension of his celebrity status, he attempted to build Jana Sena as a platform to raise public issues and question the functioning of governments.Pawan Kalyan straightforward speeches and aggressive questioning style quickly attracted the attention of the public. The initial years were not easy, and Pawan Kalyan faced considerable political challenges and criticism. Yet, instead of abandoning his political ambitions after setbacks, he continued working to strengthen Jana Sena and expand its political presence. His persistence eventually laid the foundation for one of the most significant electoral comebacks in Andhra Pradesh politics.Pawan Kalyan's Historic Political SuccessThe 2024 Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections became a defining moment in Pawan Kalyan's political career. Jana Sena entered into an alliance with the Telugu Desam Party and Bharatiya Janata Party, with the three parties fighting the election together. The alliance achieved a sweeping victory, defeating the YSR Congress Party and forming the government in Andhra Pradesh. Pawan Kalyan contested from Pithapuram and won decisively, while Jana Sena achieved a remarkable 100 percent strike rate by winning all 21 Assembly constituencies it contested.Following the victory, Pawan Kalyan took oath as Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and assumed responsibility for important government portfolios. His rise from an actor turned politician facing early electoral challenges to one of the key leaders in the state government stands as a remarkable example of political perseverance.CineJosh wishes the Powerful Janasenani a very happy birthday and a long, successful and fulfilling journey ahead. - Veda &nbsp;

Giving a major jolt to the Congress party in the State, three Telangana Congress MPs G Vivek, Manda Jagannadham and S Rajaiah have decided to join the Telangana Rashtra Samithi.
According to sources, their exit from the Congress party and entry into the TRS would be done at a massive public meeting to be held in the State capital at Nizam College Grounds on June 2.
Former PCC President and ex-MP K Keshava Rao will also join the TRS on June 2.
It may be mentioned that the three Congress MPs had threatened to quit the party and post if the Congress High Command failed to announce its decision on the statehood issue by May 30. However, the MPs were forced to take an early decision following clear signals from the High Command that it was not in a position to take any move on the Telangana issue. Further, the Congress party not only ignored their threat, but PCC President Botsa Satyanarayana went to the extent of saying that those willing to quit the party might do so.
The MPs were also hurt when they were completely ignored by Congress president Sonia Gandhi at a recent dinner hosted by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh at Delhi on the occasion of completion of nine years of UPA-Government.
Sources say that some more top leaders of Congress and TDP in the Telangana region might join the TRS in near future.

She made an impression with her screen presence. Tanikella Bharani appeared in a key role. Goparaju Ramana and Srikanth Iyengar did justice to their roles. Sriram Venkat did a decent job in the role of the police officer. Others did justice to their roles.Kiku Chiranjeevi(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewKiku Chiranjeevi story is penned by Shubha Sai Venkat and he tried to thrill viewers with the youthful romantic thriller. The narration starts in an interesting way but quickly assumes predictable and monotonous flavour with the hero and heroine romantic track. Till the end of the first half, the so called thrill factor goes missing. He spent time with silly comedy scenes and romantic scenes and brings an end to the proceedings with the bold song setting the tone for the second half.While the first half is full of youthful romantic elements, the second half is filled with few thrills. Couple of scenes that come with twists may surprise common viewers but those who are used to watch such films find them predictable. But once those twists are revealed it is just a matter of time as to how the proceedings are brought to a logical conclusion.The first half filled with romantic and bold scenes is in complete contrast to the second half filled with couple of twists. The story turned out to be predictable and screenplay left many questions unanswered with illogical elements. The pre climax is ok while the climax turns out to be tame.Ramakrishna. P with his cinematography showed the scenes according to the narration and the story. Shekar Chandra tuned couple of songs. One song is bold and loaded with intimate scenes.

Kashish Khan indulged in bold beauty treat. Director Shubha Sai Venkat planned to thrill viewers and the makers promoted it as a thriller. However, with the thrill factor missing in the first half and monotonous elements, screenplay assuming serial type narration, everything misfired. The second half has couple of twists but these couldn't revive the fortunes as viewers have watched such twists and films for many decades. One gets a feeling that they are watching two films on one ticket.Doing away with unnecessary scenes, illogical elements, rework on the script and gripping screenplay would have added more fire power. Considering a all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Kiku Chiranjeevi. &nbsp;

Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups(2026) Movie: What's BehindSandalwood Star Yash is coming to show his mass power with his upcoming film &nbsp;Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups. The film directed by Geetu Mohan Das increased expectations over the film with power packed teaser and trailer along with the songs. With Yash coming with Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups after the sensation he created across the world with his mass action entertainer KGF franchise excitement is on. The film is releasing on 26 Aug 2026, and let us see what impact Rocky Bhai created at the box office.Toxic(2026) Movie: Story ReviewToxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups story revolves around the dread gangster and the happenings in his life and how he reacts and the impact it creates.Raya ( Yash) quickly becomes the dreaded don of Goa which is under Portuguese rule even after India's Independence. The intense power struggle to rule Goa brings drastic changes in Raya's life.Where this leads to and how it is connected to Raya's sister Ganga (Nayanthra), Nadia (Kiara), Elizabeth (Huma Qureshi), Rebecca (Tara Sutaria), Mellisa (Rukmini Vasanth), Salvador (Darrel D Silva) , Tony (Akshay Oberoi), Karmad (Sudev Nair), Bheera (Balaji Manohar), Ticket (Young Yash) form the interesting part.Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups Movie: Artists ReviewYash came up with a sincere performance. He looked stylish and macho in his appearance. He with his screen presence created the required impact. Nayanthara got a role which is ok. Kiara Advani scorched red hot and offered very little when it comes to performance. Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi and Rukmini Vasanth tried to ooze with glamor but for limited scope to showcase their acting talent.There are many other actors like Sudev Nair, Akshay Oberoi, Balaji Manohar, Darrell D Silva who tried to do justice for their roles but got little chance to do so.Toxic Movie: Technicians ReviewThe story of Toxic is penned by Geetu Mohan Das. The narration starts in an interesting and action packed manner but from then on everything fall apart as quickly as it starts. There are many action sequences and intense intimate scenes but everything looks directionless bringing a tame end to the first half.Many expected a better second half but it turns out to be even worse. There are many female actresses but none of them got a powerful role to make an impact. Geetu Mohan Das tried to attract viewers with brother sister relationship, father -son sentiment and many romantic elements but everything looks disjointed and ended up testing the patience of all and irritating them.Even when people wait patiently praying for the end, they will get another shock in the pre climax and climax with psychological elements. The story has many threads but none of them are answered in a convincing manner and few of them despite the lengthy runtime left unanswered and the screenplay turned ridiculous to the core. The direction turned out to be a huge disappointment. The script turned out to be lackluster. Dialogues are just ok and dubbing made the matters worse.Geetu Mohan Das completely failed to do justice to the stardom of Yash and his character turned listless and aimless on the screen. When the main character itself turned out in this way, one can imagine the characterisation of other roles. All lacked emotional depth and came with over the top performances.The songs tuned by Ravi Basrur, Vishal Mishra, Tanishk Bagchi are not up to the mark. They impact looked forced and failed to make an impression. Ravi Basrur scored the background score and it is ok at times but most of the time it turned out to be below average. The Cinematography of Rajeev Rai turned the film into a visually appealing one. She showed the scenes in a natural way and created the Goa scenes showing Portuguese role in a realistic way. The editing of Ujwal Kulkarni turned out to be disappointing. There are many scenes that could have been trimmed or done away with.

Instead of coming up with the strong story and gripping screenplay Director concentrated only on action elements and intimate scenes. She failed to realise that style alone will not guarantee success. The convoluted screenplay made the things worse.

He showed good expressions and emotions and did justice to his role. Sashidhar performed well in the role and ensured that the narration sailed off smoothly. Manoj elevated the scenes with his dialogue delivery, body language, and mannerisms. He generated fun with his dialogues and at the same time drove home the message in a serious situation, showing good emotions and expressions.Visweswar Reddy played the role of Chacha to perfection. He delivered good dialogues and made an impact. Vedha Jalandharr did well in the role pivotal to the film. Ravn Nitturu is good in his role. Sai Yogi made an impression with his performance. Others like Pawon Ramesh performed according to their roles.Ameer Log(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewAmeer Log story is penned by Ramana Reddy Soma. He decided to entertain movie lovers, highlighting the Hyderabadi Deccan culture. He chose a simple point and narrated it in an interesting manner.Though the narration is predictable with three youngsters roaming listlessly before realizing their mistake and changing accordingly, the Deccani accent and the Old City vibes added value to it. What surprises all is that the director did not include a female lead in the film. He showed the female character as the sister to the three main characters.The dialogues are entertaining and natural, and none of them look forced and out of sync. The interval bang is done well turning the first half into a decent one. The second half continues in the same manner, and the screenplay and narration goes in a smooth and sedate manner.However for all the positives, the director after highlighting the conflict point and establishing it quite well, ends the film in a flat manner, disappointing all.The cinematography of SVK showed the Hyderabad old city vibes in a natural and realistic way. He used the camera angles to perfection and showed the nightlife and also the day hustles quite well and in an effective manner.The background score of Smaran Sai is good and complemented the proceedings, adding value to the narration. He came up with foot-tapping songs highlighting the old city culture and Deccani flavor. The editing of Rohit Penumasta is ok but could have been better, as there are a few drags that slowed the pace of the narration. Production values are decent.Ameer Log Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Performances</li><li>Deccani Accent</li><li>Foot-tapping Songs</li><li>Cinematography</li></ul>Ameer Log Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Simple Ending</li><li>No Real Twists</li><li>Predictable Plot</li></ul>Ameer Log(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Ameer Log turns out to be a decent entertainer highlighting the Hyderabad Deccan culture. Director Ramana Reddy Soma got the optimum output from the cast and crew, and Hari Munnangi, Sasidhar Kocharlakota, and Manoj came up with spirited performances.The story is simple, but Ramana Reddy, with his screenplay, turned the film into an entertaining one blending humour, emotions, and Deccani dialogues in an effective way. However, predictability crept in with the passage of time, and the unidimensional screenplay hampered the proceedings. The rushed climax did not add much value to the ending. A little fine-tuning of the script and inclusion of a few more twists and turns would have added more power to the final impact. Considering all these points, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Ameer Log.

With Annapurna Studios getting associated with the project, interest levels increased. Let us find out what Pallaburusu offered to movie lovers.Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Story ReviewPallaburusu's story revolves around the happenings in the life of an aged father and how he reacts when he thinks that his son neglected and insulted him. Shambhu (Kethiri Sudhakar Reddy) gets disheartened as his son Tirupathi (Muralidhar Goud) for not buying him Pallaburusu( Tooth Brush) apart from insulting him on various occasions.Where this leads to, how Shambhu shocks Tirupathi, and what roles Ravi (Prajwal Yadma), Swetha (Gomathi Reddy), Kavitha, Rekha play form the rest of the developments.Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewKethiri Sudhakar Reddy virtually lived in the role. He looked jovial at times and showed his emotions and feelings when neglected by his son. The father-son bonding and conflict is elevated with his performance and natural expressions. Muralidhar Goud complimented him, and the scenes involving both of them helped carry the film forward with intensity levels intact.Prajwal Yadma and Gomathy did not get much scope to perform. They got inconsequential roles, and they tried their best to entertain with their performances.Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewPallaburusu story is penned by Uday Chauhan. He came up with a simple story to highlight the bonding between the children and parents and how the relations change in property disputes. One gets a feeling that he drew inspiration from the hit film Balagam. The narration in the first half flows in a neat and decent manner and sets the stage for the second half. The repetitive scenes in the second half diluted the intensity levels of the first half. However, the pre-climax and climax scenes bring the interest levels back. The screenplay turned out to be decent, and the direction is to the point.The music for Pawan CH is attractive and appealing. The songs are situational and are shot well. While one song is emotional, the other two songs are foot-tapping. His background music is in sync with the story. Vinod Bangari's cinematography is quite good. He showed the rural atmosphere in Telangana in a natural and realistic manner. Srujan Adusumilli's editing could have been far better as there are many repetitive scenes that dragged the pace of the narration. Dialogues are natural and hard-hitting. Production values are decent.Pallaburusu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e243c8363bbcc91d1475a5c23e19813ec">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="e688f7ce94fe211a4e098636e8dee19a0">Music</li><li data-list-item-id="eb67959d00143b170999ebb6da3152928">Cinematography</li></ul>Pallaburusu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ea4b9de0f99f6f789e9a1d1a21240c729">Dragged Narration</li><li data-list-item-id="e4eefd4e4f26bbbfbd112f43c49183daa">Lack of Conflict</li><li data-list-item-id="e09960c6e404ebdd053ff476ea73b3525">Predictable Plot</li></ul>Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Pallaburusu promises a lot but fails to deliver. Muralidhar Goud and Sudhakar Reddy comes with spirited performances and the director Uday Chauhan comes with simple story with interesting point. He tried to send a message to society in an entertaining manner but fails to connect chords with the viewers completely as the conflict point turns out to be weak.Uday Chauhan chose a simple point and tried to drive home an important message on how technology impacting the lives of people and children neglecting their parents in the old age. He takes the viewers into the story at the start itself but from then on failed to drive home the point in a convincing manner. The Ravi , Swetha love track and the father-daughter marriage episodes ends up testing the patience of the viewers.The court drama and the land dispute in the second half is shown in an illogical and silly manner. The point as to why son is hating his father is not shown in an elaborate manner and the father son bonding is not elevated properly except in the climax.A more racy screenplay, more intense and entertaining script would have added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects Cinejosh goes with a 1.75 rating for Pallaburusu.

The role is tailormade for him and he performed accordingly. Vishal also played the father role and his look and makeup looked odd on the screen. He should have cast another actor in the role.Dushara Vijayan is fine in her role. Anjali did not look good on the screen and she delivered dialogues at the top of her voice. John Vijay is ok in his role. Jaya Prakash made his presence felt. Others like &nbsp;Ajay, Vamsi Krishna, Abu Salim, Arjai, Jhansi, Padam Kumar, Sabhumon performed according to their roles.Makutam(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMakutam story is penned by Ravi Arasu. The film marked the debut of Vishal as the director. Vishal tried to entertain masses with commercial elements revolving around the import of Chinese auto parts. However, Vishal included more family drama, action elements instead of highlighting the main topic.All the scenes right from the first scene turned routine, monotonous and predictable. Many expected things to change after Vishal who was seen as a honest and innocent medical representive gets trageted. But nothing of that sorts happen and the entry of other Vishal character is expected to change the proceedings at least in the second half. However, the narration nosedives in the second half to a new low. The scenes featuring Vishal, Dushara Vijayan lack the emotional connect and looks mundane and the so called comedy with Thambi Ramaiah doesn't work.Things doesn't change in the second half and the so called flashback episode which is expected to take the film to next level is dragged to the core testing the patience of the viewers. The chemistry between Vishal and Anjali looked odd on screen and to the irritation of viewers, the pre climax and climax is dragged to the next level leaving people wonder when the film will end. The climax fight looked silly and illogical leaving all shocked. The story is outdated and screenplay and direction didnot inspire any confidence.GV. Prakash Kumar's music offered nothing new. The tunes turned below average. His background music fared no better. At times it turned out to be loud. The cinematography of Richard M Nathan is just average. Dialogues are pretty ordinary. Production values are ok Makutam Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e2c7ae3808f3c1f410bed131a98326c5e">None</li></ul>Makutam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e0c7f70282766b62277359ce93b9421e9">Everything</li></ul>Makutam(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Makutam turns out to be below-average mass entertainer. Vishal completely failed as the director and much to the disappointment of all, he even failed as an actor. At times he overacted and other times he underperformed and looked disconnected completely. No amount of changes to the script and screenplay would have changed the final result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Makutam.

How these characters influence the lives of the youngsters and where their choices eventually lead forms the rest of the story. Artists ReviewAnush Thorat performed well as an innocent boy whose life changes completely following the turn of events. He showed good expressions and emotions and endeared to all with his performance. Vasavi Ganeshan played the female role and her mannerisms, expressions and dialogue delivery connected chords with all the youth. She stole the show with her cute looks . She not only came up with energetic screen presence but also emoted well during the touching scenes.Prani Reddy did well in the role of Vasavi's cousin. Govardhan Reddy is good in the role of Vasavi's father. He emoted well, showing good expressions seeing his mother in his daughter. Ramesh Nakirenti and Sunitha Manohar are good in the roles of the parents of Anush Thorat. Anji Valguman performed well in an important role.Husharu Pittalu(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewHusharu Pittalu story is penned by Bikshu Yadav. He came up with a youthful romantic entertainer with a message to the youngsters and also elders. In order to connect chords with both these divergent sections, he loaded the first half with youthful elements and the second half with emotional elements trying to drive home the message.Though there are many bold scenes and dialogues in the first half, it connects chords with the youngsters as it was shown in an entertaining manner loaded with humorous elements. The interval block sets the stage for the second half. While the screenplay is racy and narration is quite fast paced in the first half, the second half narration slides down with monotonous elements. The preachy dialogues and repetitive scenes put off viewers. Finally the movie ends in a predictable manner.The music of Charan Arjun is good. The title song already became a chartbuster and it is choreographed in a good way on the screen. His background music is in sync with the story. Marthand K Venkatesh's editing is quite good in the first half. The pace in the second half dips due to repetitive scenes and intense emotions. He could have done away with the repetitive scenes. The cinematography of Rudra Sai is good. He showed the rural village atmosphere in a natural and rustic manner. Dialogues connect to youth in the first half and in the second half they become preachy and may put off a few of them.

Anush Thorat and Vasavi Ganeshan came up with spirited performances and director Bikshu Yadav starts in an entertaining way with youthful elements connecting chords with genex viewers ending the first half quite on a high note. When everyone expected a more entertaining second half, he turned preachy with monotonous elements and this slowed the pace of the narration and impacted the final output. The overdoing of bold scenes involving minors with just a statutory warning that it is a crime under POCSO act will put off right thinking people. Many will be under the impression that the makers included these scenes to attract genex viewers and then wash off their hands with a message in the climax. A little finetuning of the script, and attention to the second half would have added more power to the final output. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Husharu Pittalu.

Agadha (2026) Movie: What's BehindWhen MS.Raju announced a horror thriller Agadha, everyone got surprised as it signaled a shift from his known family and youthful entertainers genre to the unexplored horror genre. The film's teaser and trailer generated interest and let us see what the film offered to movie lovers.Agadha (2026) Movie: Story ReviewAgadha story revolves around a young woman with spiritual powers trying to unravel the mystery of an evil force out to wreak havoc. Manasa , a writer along with her husband Sanjay tries to explore the supernatural elements and the mystery of evil forces by meeting Mahadevi (Kamakshi Bhaskarla). Where this leads to and what are the shocking happenings involving Mahavevi's near and dear ones, what role Mahima (Ulka Gupta), Simha (Shravan Reddy), Harini (Jovika Vijaykumar), uncle (Bhanuchander), aunt (Vanitha Vijaykumar),Bablu (Viva Raghava), Inspector Saleem (Shravan Reddy) and others played, what is the secret of Agadha form rest of the twists and turns.Agadha (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewKamakshi Bhaskarla slipped into the role effortlessly. She did similar kind of roles earlier and this is nothing new for her. She transformed herself into the thick and skin of the character. She showed good expressions , dialogue delivery and intensity and made an impact with her screen presence. But at times, she looked odd on the screen especially in the close shots.Ulka Gupta performed well in her role. She played the pivotal character and emoted well on the screen. Shravan Reddy played a good role and showed variations in different roles with his dialogue delivery, expressions and mannerisms. Jovika Vijaykumar made an impact in the role of a girl who gets possessed by evil spirit. Others like Vanitha Vijay Kumar, Bhanuchander, Roshan Basheer, Arna Muler, Kanakavva and Viva Raghava performed well as per their roles.Agadha (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewAgadha story is penned by MS.Raju. He tried to thrill viewers with a horror thriller with spiritual elements. The entire first half is narrated in an interesting manner maintaining the suspense and unraveling the twists in an apt manner. The first half narration is decent and the screenplay is intact and racy keeping the interest levels of the viewers quite high setting the tone for the second half.However, MS.Raju loses plot in the second half with convenient screenplay. Instead of the protagonist unraveling the mystery of Agadha, other characters reveal everything to her, leaving nothing for her to do, thus diluting the over all impact. To the top of it, repetitive scenes impacted the flow of the narration. However, he generates interest in the runup to the climax before ending it in a decent manner.Nani Chamidisetty with his cinematography created the desired impact. He showed the scenes in an impactful manner using the color combinations and camera angles perfectly. The VFX and Graphics are of good quality. They could have however taken more care regarding the graphics. Art department could have done a better job as artificiality crept in the sets. The music of &nbsp;Rakesh Venkatapuram is good. He made a powerful impact with his background score elevating the scenes to the next level. Editing of Junaid Siddique is good in the first half but could have been far better in the second half.

MS.Raju got good performances from the cast and crew. He started the narration in an interesting manner exciting all the viewers. He manages to keep the interest levels quite high unraveling the mystery one by one. However with the main mystery revealed in the interval block, he loses plot in the second half. This resulted in routine elements creeping in diluting the interest levels. The pre climax and climax is ok and the film ends on a decent note. A little finetuning of the script, doing away with convenient screenplay and adding more twists and turns, adding more scary and horror elements would have added value to the final outcome. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Agadha.&nbsp;

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.

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>Lokesh Kanagaraj</li><li>BGM</li><li>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. The unidimensional screenplay and lack of real twists and turns, few underdeveloped characters impacted the output. A little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay with interesting twists and turns would have added power to the narration. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for DC.

He showed variations in his role according to the situation. He as a villager attracted with his dialogue delivery, mannerisms and Rayalaseema accent. He danced energetically and performed stunts with ease.He stuns all in the role of the dreaded gangster, and he transformed completely with his look and body language.

She looked gorgeous on the screen.Satya created a laughing riot with his hilarious antics. His dialogue delivery, mannerisms and expressions entertained all.Muralidhar Goud is good and VTV Ganesh is ok in his role tailor made for him. Others like Avasarala Srinivas, Sunil performed according to their roles.Korean Kanakaraju (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewKorean Kanakaraju story is penned by Merlapaka Gandhi. 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. Had he done away with them and turned the script stronger and Screenplay tighter, things would have been different. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Korean Kanakaraju. &nbsp;
