Allu Arjun and Atlee’s highly anticipated pan-India film Raaka has achieved a Guinness World Record for the “Most People Motion Captured in Real Time.” The record involved 37 performers being captured simultaneously, with the feat officially certified on September 15, 2026. The ambitious project is produced by Sun Pictures.The achievement highlights Raaka’s ambitious technical scale, with 92 optical motion capture cameras used alongside facial capture, real time Unreal Engine visualisation, synchronisation and specialised VFX workflows. Performers aged between four and 70 participated in the sequence, underlining the complexity of Atlee’s large scale filmmaking approach.Despite celebrating the Guinness recognition, sections of Allu Arjun’s global fanbase expressed disappointment over the birthday update for Atlee. Many expected a powerful first look, glimpse or exclusive visual from Raaka, especially after weeks of anticipation surrounding the director’s birthday. Instead, the makers initially focused entirely on the technical achievement.The subsequent behind the scenes video showcased the motion capture process, performers, equipment and extensive technical work but reportedly offered little visual output from the actual film. Fans acknowledged the world record achievement while expressing their desire for a proper visual glimpse. With Raaka positioned as an ambitious sci fi action spectacle, expectations now remain high for a future teaser or first look reveal. - Veda &nbsp;

Legendary music director Koti has completed an incredible 50-year journey in the Telugu film industry. Over the course of five decades, Koti has delivered numerous blockbuster albums and timeless songs that continue to remain popular with music lovers across generations.The 1980s and 1990s witnessed the phenomenal popularity of the Raj-Koti duo, who created a distinct musical identity with their memorable compositions. After the duo’s journey, Koti continued to make his mark as an independent music director, scoring music for several successful films and delivering songs that went on to become chartbusters.Celebrating this remarkable milestone, Manatho Entertainments is organizing the grand musical extravaganza ‘Koti 50: The Biggest Live Concert in Hyderabad – The Grandest Roar of His Legacy’, with the support of sponsors SMS Group of Companies, Vishista Gold &amp; Diamonds, NSR Developers, Naveen Gold &amp; Bros, GNR Mayukha Infra, and Kanchipuram Laxmi Varahi Silks. The grand musical concert is scheduled to take place on November 28 in Hyderabad.A media conference was held on Monday to officially announce the event and unveil details about the upcoming concert. MLA and former minister Gangula Kamalakar attended the event as the chief guest and launched the official poster of ‘Koti 50: The Biggest Live Concert in Hyderabad – The Grandest Roar of His Legacy.’The grand musical concert will take place on November 28 in Hyderabad. The event is expected to bring together music lovers and fans of Koti to celebrate his extraordinary journey and revisit some of the most memorable musical moments of his illustrious career.MLA Gangula Kamalakar said, “I grew up listening to many of Koti garu’s songs. It is a great pleasure to meet him here today like this. Technology has changed tremendously over the past 50 years. There was a time when I used to listen to his songs on a gramophone. His music and songs played a major role in making many films successful. Our generation knows a lot about Koti garu. However, through this event, today’s Gen Z audience will also get to know who Koti garu is and understand his contribution to music. I will also attend the programme taking place on November 28. I wish Koti garu would compose music for the films I am making as well. As long as there is air on this earth, Koti garu’s songs will continue to live on.”Music director Koti said, “Coming here today reminded me of my parents. I have always worked with the thought that I should never bring a bad name to my father, Saluri Rajeswara Rao garu. I treated every film and every song as my first opportunity and worked extremely hard. I worked on every song with the intention that it should be remembered for generations. As Raj-Koti, we created several wonderful songs together. Later, during my solo journey as Koti, I delivered many great songs as well. Koti’s songs will always remain in the hearts of music lovers. I can confidently challenge that nobody can create songs like those today.Raj and I studied beats extensively. The popularity of our songs was further enhanced by Chiranjeevi garu’s breakdance performances, which were associated with many of them, and they continue to be popular even today. At the concert taking place in November, we will perform songs that are close to everyone’s hearts.From 1984 to 1994, the Raj-Koti duo created a sensation among audiences. After that, every song I composed during my solo journey became a hit. The audience embraced every song and brought me to this level. I always used to think ahead of my time. It makes me very happy to see A.R. Rahman, Devi Sri Prasad, Thaman and Harris Jayaraj, who worked with me, now reaching such great heights. It was my good fortune to give a unique beat to each song. Everything happened because of God’s grace and the blessings of my parents. I thank every single person who came to this event for me.”Manjula Rao Jupally said, “No matter how many crores we earn, we will be remembered by people only for a certain period of time. But people like Koti garu will be remembered for generations. A few members of the Manatho team approached me and told me about this event. The moment they mentioned that it was for Koti garu, I immediately agreed to attend. Koti garu has worked on films featuring almost every hero. Is something like that possible for the current generation? His songs don’t come merely from the throat; they come from the navel. I feel fortunate to get an opportunity to contribute in my own way to programmes like this.”Manatho Entertainments’ Shobhan said, “We have grown up along with Koti garu’s music. His beat is our heartbeat. We have been enjoying his music for five decades. From audio cassettes to artificial intelligence, Koti garu is a truly remarkable music director who has remained relevant across generations and technological changes. It is a great pleasure to announce Koti garu’s concert in this manner today.”With five decades of musical excellence to look back on, ‘Koti 50’ promises to be a special celebration of an artist whose compositions have been an integral part of Telugu cinema and have continued to resonate with audiences for generations. &nbsp;

&nbsp;Irumudi, starring Ravi Teja, has reportedly emerged as one of the year’s major theatrical successes, crossing the ₹250 crore mark and now it is streaming now on Netflix. Writer director Shiva Nirvana has been discussing the film’s emotional family drama, crime elements and several creative decisions following its successful theatrical run and rending on Netflix.One question surrounding Irumudi after its Netflix release has been the absence of police and investigation sequences despite the serious crimes portrayed. Shiva Nirvana explained that this was intentional. According to him, introducing police characters would have changed the film’s focus and transformed the narrative into a conventional investigation driven crime drama.Nirvana pointed to Sai Kumar’s character refusing to file an eve teasing complaint because he fears the incident becoming public. The sequence establishes that the characters are aware of the police. He further revealed that the MLA is responsible for the deaths, while deliberately leaving unanswered whether police were compromised or killings were portrayed as suicides.Shiva Nirvana began his directorial journey with Ninnu Kori and followed it with Majili, before Tuck Jagadish and Kushi faced a comparatively difficult response. Irumudi has marked a significant comeback for the filmmaker, who says its success has given him greater freedom to experiment and surprise audiences. Despite speculation surrounding a possible sequel, Shiva Nirvana has clarified that Irumudi 2 is not currently planned.&nbsp;- Veda

Maverick director Puri Jagannadh is running a lean patch of his career with a series of flops at the moment. Yet again, the director has got goodwill among some top heroes thanks to his directorial prowess wrapping up films with a supersonic speed.&nbsp;

Ever since Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna worked with Puri Jagannadh for Paisa Vasool a strong bond has been built between the duo. Puri thanked Balayya in the title cards for the latter's help in the make of Mehbooba. It is heard that Puri recently approached Balakrishna to discuss yet another project.

Also, rumours are rife that King Nagarjuna may work for Puri Jagannadh soon. The combo proved successful before with Super and Shivamani films. Moreover, Nagarjuna's Officer is readying for release and the senior star is yet to announce his new project. Apparently, Balakrishna and Nagarjuna are competing to work with Puri soon. Since Balakrishna has his kitty filled with NTR biopic and Boyapati Srinu's project, the combo of Balayya and Puri may not happen anytime sooner. As such, chances are high Nag and Puri to team up for Puri's immediate next.

One should commend her for doing such a bubbly , lively and energetic role at this age. She stands out with her performance in the film. Aamani is good in the role of the minister's wife. Jhanvi evoked few laughs in the role of a miser woman. She also emoted well during the climax. Payal Radhakrishna, Jinisha Alishetty, Roopa Srinivas and Sunaina performed according to their roles. Sunaina however at times became over the board and over dramatic. Vamsidhar Goud and Ravi Siva Teja entertained with their humour to some extent. Muralidhar Goud, Pruthvi Dandamudi and others did justice to their roles.Happy Journey(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewHappy Journey story is penned by Abhiramm Naidu.

He starts the narration with the introduction of various female characters and then setting them on a France trip. The entire first half sails through in an entertaining and hilarious manner ending on a interesting emotional twist, setting the stage for the second half.Emotions takes the center stage in the second half with few comedy scenes in-between. The emotions of various female characters are highlighted. However, seeing those scenes on the screen, one gets a feeling that the director got stuck up with the 80s problems and melodrama associated with them. But for all his hard work to pierce the hearts of the viewers with emotional scenes pertaining to men and women, misfired completely. The climax emotional scene turned out to be over dramatic and missed the basic emotions. Once the film ends, viewers will heave a sigh of relief after all the emotional torture. The screenplay resembles that of many old films of the 80s and 90s.Subramaniyan Manigandan turned the scenes colorful with his cinematography. He showed the locations of France in a beautiful and visually appealing manner on the screen. &nbsp;Shekar Chandra's songs turned out to be average.

Doing away with over dramatic scenes, toning down the emotions and more entertaining elements and racy screenplay would have added more punch to the final result. Considering all these elements Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Happy Journey. &nbsp;

The first half ends on an interesting note with few surprising revelations setting the tone for the second half.The second half goes further into murders and drugs etc. The first half included a song to highlight the father-daughter sentiment but it failed to generated the required emotions. The song placement looked odd and out of sync.

Viewers can easily guess the villian even before the end of the first half thus diluting the intensity levels in the second half.

The interval twist turns out to be decent and the second half turns little racy.

It is not in sync with the storyline. Re recording and mixing also turned out to be below average. However, the songs he tuned are good and shot well. Basava's editing left a lot to be desired.

Little finetuning of the script, racy screenplay, interesting twists, doing away with monotony would have added more substance to the final output. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.25 rating for Missing Meghana.

The webseries comes with 6 episodes, each with a duration of around 25-30 minutes. He tried to thrill viewers with the medical mafia storyline. He managed to generate interest at times however the screenplay turned out to be utterly predictable and bereft of twists. Generally crime thrillers have good following in the OTTs and so Mohan Srivatsa also chose the similar topic.He drew inspiration from Malayalam webseries and followed the same template of a cop investigating the mysterious death and then he exposed the medical mafia. He highlighted the nexus between medical mafia, doctors and organ trafficking. Apart from it, he also highlighted the emotions between brothers and sisters.However, the screenplay assumed predictable trope and the narration lacked the exciting and interesting twists and turns. One can easily predict the villains and the next scenes easily. Even the crime investigation scenes are not shown in an interesting manner. With the unraveling of the villain in the final episode, the webseries ends on a tame note.Naresh Kumaran elevated the scenes with his background music. The cinematography of Sandeep Kanth gave the scenes and proceedings a realistic feel. Editing of Srinivas Bynaboina is ok and could have been better as there are scenes that dragged the pace of the narration. Production values are good.Panchanama Web Series: Advantages<ul><li>Plot</li><li>Few Scenes</li></ul>Panchanama Web Series:Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable Elements</li><li>Lack of Twists</li></ul>Panchanama(2026) Web Series: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Panchanama turns out to be another run of the mill investigative medical thriller. Director Mohan Srivatsa cameup with a thriller in the backdrop of medical mafia and many such films and series' came earlier. Though the plot is interesting, Mohan Srivasta's screenplay turned predictable with investigation scenes failing to excite viewers. To the top of it, with the villain not getting arrested, viewers feel that the series ended in a incomplete manner as the makers thought of coming with season 2. The forced romantic elements, artificial villianisms, etc robbed the viewers of realistic experience. A little finetuning of the script, racy screenplay, doing away with redundant elements and more thrilling twists would have added value to the proceedings. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Panchanama.

Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: What's BehindAnand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya are back together after their impressive combination in Baby. This time, they are paired in Epic First Semester, directed by Aditya Haasan. The film carries the curiosity of exploring the journey of a young man who lands in the UK and experiences love, relationships and life away from home. Let us see what surprises Epic First Semester has in store.Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: Story ReviewThe story revolves around Aditya, an aspiring filmmaker who lands in the UK against his wishes because of his parents Chandrashekhar and Rani.An introvert who has hardly interacted with girls suddenly finds himself in a completely new environment. His meeting with Kadali changes his world, and their relationship gradually moves through love, live-in life, emotional confusion, and the realities of a serious relationship.The situations they face and where their relationship finally heads form the rest of the story.Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewAnand Deverakonda performs well as Aditya. He brings innocence and vulnerability to the character and is particularly good in scenes involving his introverted nature and discomfort in a new environment.Vaishnavi Chaitanya gets a contrasting character and does justice to the role. Her mood swings and emotional changes are handled reasonably well. The chemistry between Anand and Vaishnavi works in several portions, although it does not reach the intensity of their Baby combination.Sivaji and Vasuki have limited scope as Anand's parents but make their presence felt. Srinivas Gavi Reddy gets a few laughs as Manoj. Kalyan Shankar is decent in his role as Sinjith. The remaining actors perform according to their roles.Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewAditya Haasan starts the film on an interesting note by taking the character of Aditya into a new phase of his life. The idea of showing what happens when an innocent youngster grows up and lands in a foreign country has potential.The first half has enough lively moments to keep the proceedings moving. The relationship between Aditya and Kadali develops naturally in parts, and the film becomes more engaging once their equation takes a serious turn.The second half is where the film loses some momentum. The relationship discussions, pregnancy fears, marriage and practical problems provide the central conflict, but the film does not always create enough tension around them.Still, unlike a completely routine romantic drama, the film has a few emotionally relatable situations. The conflict may be small, but some of the characters and conversations manage to hold attention. The climax could have been stronger. The open ending is clearly designed to leave scope for the next chapter, but it does not deliver the expected emotional punch.Hesham Abdul Wahab's music is one of the film's positives. The songs are melodious and suit the mood of the story. His background score is also decent. Azeem Mohammad's cinematography gives the film a pleasant look. The UK locations are captured beautifully and add freshness to the proceedings.Navin Nooli's editing is adequate, though some portions could have been trimmed. The dialogues are mostly natural, with a few bold conversations adding flavour. Production values are good.Epic Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Anand Deverakonda's performance</li><li>Vaishnavi Chaitanya's performance</li><li>Music And BGM</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Some relatable relationship moments</li><li>First half</li></ul>Epic Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Slow second half</li><li>Limited conflict</li><li>Repetitive conversations</li><li>Climax</li><li>Emotional impact could have been stronger</li></ul>Epic First Semester(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisEpic First Semester is a decent attempt at presenting the emotional journey of an introvert youngster experiencing love and relationships in a foreign country.The biggest advantage is that the film does not completely depend on artificial twists or forced drama. Anand and Vaishnavi bring a certain naturalness to their characters, and their chemistry works in several scenes.At the same time, the simple conflict becomes both the strength and weakness of the film. The situations are relatable, but the screenplay sometimes takes too long to move forward. A tighter edit could have made the film considerably more engaging.The film also misses some of the entertainment and emotional intensity that made Baby such a talking point. However, Epic First Semester has enough good moments, decent performances and soothing music to make it a one-time watch for viewers who enjoy relationship dramas.Considering these elements, CineJosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Epic First Semester.

Where this leads to and how it is connected to Manju (Deepa Balu), Jalandhar (Vikas Vasishta), Uttam (Maneesh), occult practitioner (Rupa Lakshmi), form the exciting part.Maremma (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewMaadhav got the tall physique and looks. However on debut despite his best efforts he failed to get his basics right. He failed with his expressions and emotions and looked a complete mismatch. He should hone his skills rigorously and seriously to sustain in the industry.Deepa Balu fared better than him. But her characterisation turned out to be weak and did not offer much scope to show her acting talent. Vinod Kumar as a villager got limited and inconsequential role.Vikas Vasishta is good on the screen. Rupa Lakshmi made an impact with her performance. Others performed according to their roles.Maremma (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMaremma story is penned by Manchala Nagaraj. He tried to attract all with an impactful story in the rustic Telangana backdrop. Many films with Telangana backdrop and accent came earlier and Maremma completely failed on all fronts as the story turned out to be weak and script became spineless. The writing and screenplay did not inspire any confidence and direction failed to justice in any manner.With routine and outdated story and despite the claims of based on real life incidents, the film failed to generate interest. There is not a single scene in the film that generated interest among movie lovers. Everything turned out to be a tedious watch. Even the so called comedy scenes looked forced and senseless. The romantic track turned out to be another weak point and the entire second half which revolves around finding the missing bison, is redundant with repetitive scenes testing the patience of the viewers. The pre climax and climax are stretched to the core and finally when the film ended, viewers heave a sigh of relief.Prashanth R. Vihari, Bipradeep Dutta's tunes are just ok. The background score is fine but the substandard story couldn't be elevated by their efforts. The cinematography of Prasanth Ankireddy is below standard, disappointing all. Editing of Sai Babu Talari offered nothing much and he left many scenes unattended. Dialogues are nothing new and production values are below standard.Maremma Movie: Advantages<ul><li>None</li></ul>Maremma Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Casting</li><li>Lack of Exciting Elements</li><li>Writing</li></ul>Maremma (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Maremma turns out to be a disappointing drama in Telangana backdrop. Maadhav's weak performance and director Manchala Nagraj's senseless story, spineless screenplay and outdated script turned the film into a woeful one. No amount of rework would have changed the fate of Maremma. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Maremma.

The story is interesting to an extent, but the narration and screenplay assumes predictable flavor. The first half treads in a similar manner and second half continues in the same way. This time, Mathimaran elevated the emotions in a more powerful manner.The story turns out to be predictable except for the boat racing episodes. Everything looked routine and the conflict point is not established in a convincing and more powerful way. Drama also did not work and most of the scenes paled on the screen. Even the romantic track did not appeal to all. He left many unanswered questions in the film.GV. Prakash Kumar's music is ok. His background score is good. He elevated the scenes, especially in the boat races with his background music. SR. Kathir's cinematography is good. He showed the rustic village atmosphere quite well on the screen. He also showed the boat races sequences in an effective way. Pradeep Raghav's editing could have been better as there are few scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Dialogues are ok. Production values are good.Mandaadi Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Performances</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Boat Races</li></ul>Mandaadi Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable Elements</li><li>Missing Conflict</li><li>VFX, CG</li></ul>Mandaadi(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Mandaadi turns out to be average emotional drama. Soori and Suhaas came up with spirited performances and director Mathimaaran Pugazhendi came up with an interesting plot in the backdrop of boat racing. However, he failed to take it to the next level, turning the scenes into predictable, routine and monotonous. A little finetuning of the script, including more interesting and exciting elements and racy screenplay would have added more fire power. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating to Mandaadi.

However this time his performance turned out to be a roller coaster ride. At times he looked terrific on the screen and at other times he looked like a novice. His dialogues had an anglical accent and this may not go well with all viewers. He is good on screen with his body language, dialogue delivery and emotions.Kayadu Lohar is ok in her role. She looked good on the screen but got limited scope to show her acting talent. Antony Varghese Pepe steals the show with his impactful performance. So did Samyukta Viswanathan in her role. Mysskin played the role of the antagonist and his role is too predictable. To over come that he tried to bring in eccentricity but it impacted in a negative way. Vinay Forrt and Kathir were minimised on the screen. Others performed as per their roles.Technicians ReviewI'm Game story is penned by Nihas Hidayath. He came up with an interesting and exciting plot. However the narration and screenplay shifts completely turning the entire thing into a disjointed one. Nihas Hidayath narrated so many things and this makes viewers get accustomed to the happenings and the characters. But Nihas regained his composure and once he dealt with the main story, the narration turns interesting. But there are many scenes and characters that looked forced and out of sync to the story.While the first half after the initial confusion, turns interesting in the run up to the interval and brings an end setting to the exciting second half, the second half sinks even further. There are many unnecessary characters and the flat narration and uninspiring execution played the spoil sport. The flashback episodes undoes all the good intentions. Everything ended up irritating and testing the patience of the viewers.The music and background tuned by Jakes Bejoy turned out to be a disappointing affair. He tried to elevate the scenes that offered nothing new. Jimshi Khalid's cinematography got nothing much to excite . &nbsp;The editing of Chaman Chakko could have been far better as there are scenes that impacted the flow of the narration. Dialogues are ok and production values are grand.Advantages<ul><li>Unique Concept</li></ul>Disadvantages<ul><li>Screenplay</li><li>Confusing Narration&nbsp;</li><li>Cliched Elements&nbsp;</li><li>Listless Characterizations</li></ul>Rating AnalysisAltogether, I'm Game turns out to be average thriller. Dulqer Salmaan should be credited for selecting a different story and Nihas Hidayath came up with a unique plot. However, Nihas completely failed with his screenplay and direction. In trying to include more twists and turns, he introduced numerous characters ending up confusing the viewers. Everything turned flat and he failed to do justice with disappointing execution. A little finetuning of the script, racy screenplay, doing away with predictability could have added more spice to the proceedings. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.75 rating for I'm Game.

The role is tailor-made for him, and he needs not do anything unique for the role. His comic timing is intact, and he did well in emotional scenes. Allari Naresh, since his entry, has done silly comedy films and, after a longtime once again did the same.Sr Naresh stole the show with his performance. He made an impact with his dialogue delivery, emotions, and expressions. His screen presence is good, and he entertained with his antics.Vennela Kishore is good in his role as Indra. Vishnu Priya, Prisha Singh, and Rashi Singh are ok in the roles of Rambha, Oorvasi, and Menaka.Rashi Singh got limited screen presence. She didn't get much scope to show her acting talent. Tarak Ponnappa is ok in the role of the antagonist.There are many actors like Kalyani Raj, Shiju, Hari Teja, Goparaju Ramana, Goparaju Vijay, RK.Mama, Rachi Ravi, Ravi Siva Teja, and they got blink-and-miss roles.Rambha Oorvasi Menaka(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewRambha Oorvasi Menaka story is penned by Chandramohan Chitanda. The story is similar to many old films like Yamaleela and others. Though there is scope to generate comedy, he failed to do so. Though there are a few scenes and youthful dialogues, none of them worked due to cliched scenes and outdated narration.Chota K Prasad's editing left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that are repetitive, and the predictable plot and weak script made the masters worse.Raam Reddy's cinematography and Chaitan Bharadwaj's music and background score are in sync with the story, and they are extremely outdated.Dialogues have an old flavor, and a few are hilarious. Production values are just average.Rambha Oorvasi Menaka Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Allari Naresh, Srinivas Reddy, Sr Naresh</li><li>Few Hilarious Scenes</li></ul>Rambha Oorvasi Menaka Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable Story</li></ul>Rambha Oorvasi Menaka(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Rambha Oorvasi Menaka is cringe to the core. Allari Naresh tried to return back to the comedy genre, and keeping in view director Chandra Mohan readies the story. But the problem is, Allari Naresh is stuck with the same 90s-era comedy, and the director also didn't try to come out of it. This resulted in a weak story, a silly screenplay, and listless direction. No amount of changes in the script and screenplay will change the output of the film. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Rambha Oorvasi Menaka. &nbsp;

Rambha Oorvasi Menaka Review

It was a great debut to Mega Power Star Ram Charan with Chirutha. Ram Charan opted for Megastar Chiranjeevi's Magadheerudu film title for his second venture which was slightly changed as Magadheera. The movie stood as an ever remembered industry hit of Tollywood.
Mega Prince Varun Tej's latest offing Tholiprema was a Power Star Pawan Kalyan's blockbuster film's title. Varun Tej got his collar raised making the film as a super hit. 
And now, Mega Alludu Kalyan Dhev is coming with Megastar's message oriented super hit film's title 'Vijetha'. Needless to say, the debut mega hero banked on the hit sentiment of mega film titles. 
Directed by Rakesh Sashi the movie was bankroleld by Sai Korrapati on Varahi Chalanachitra.

Mega Titles Sentiment: Magadheera, Tholiprema, Vijetha!
