Its result brought back the Prabhas' Adipurush directed by Om Raut to the fore.People are trolling Om Raut once again for Adipurush. Those who watched both the films are comparing what went amiss with Adipurush. Ramayana &nbsp;Part 1 is hailed for the portrayal of Lankesh Ravana, his fight with Jatayu and also the top quality VFX. The VFX quality in Adipurush turned out to be disappointing. However, people are praising the songs that turned out to be hit in Adipurush even before the release. The songs like Jai Sri Ram, Ram Siya Ram became blockbusters.The look of Prabhas as Lord Ram got trolled unlike Ranbir Kapoor in Ramayana. Same is the case with Saif Ali Khan's portrayal as Ravana in Adipurush. Yash's performance and look is hailed by one and all. However the emotions between Ranbir and Sai Pallavi as Ram and Sita didnot workout properly. As Ramayana is made in two parts, most of the scenes are dragged. Adipurush's dialogues created a huge controversy at that time.- Nirvighn Nandivada

The film's first part which released couple of days back is going strong at the box office.In the meantime, Bollywood actor Salman Khan came up with his views on Ramayana budget. He said “I just think Ramayana should be discussed for Ramayana and not its VFX or its cost of production. I think this narrative that Rs 4000…VFX, VFX, I just don’t think that is correct. Ramayana should be discussed for its characters, Ram, Ravana, Sita, on the scriptures.”He continued , “See, what all qualities did Ram ji have? Best husband, best son, best father, best warrior, best brother. These all were the qualities, and this character (his character in Maatrubhumi) possesses the same qualities.”He added “Ramananda Sagar sir’s Ramayana, I have watched,” He said he once planned to make Ramayana and added “20 years ago, we were supposed to do Ramayana and then the previous generation of the press, they captured me and my brother exiting from a place at late night after announcing the film. But your press placed two crowns on our heads (tilted head gesture) and it was written, ‘He’s our Ram, and he’s our Laxman.’ So, we shelved our film right there.”- Pramod Nandivada

&nbsp;Salman on Maatrubhoomi pressures, release date. Salman Khan's Maatrubhoomi directed by Apoorva Lakhia has been waiting in the wings for the release. However, the changing dynamics between India and China has been delaying by the Censor Board. Reports came that the Government of India directed the makers to make changes and do away with the references to China.In the meantime, Salman Khan said “This narrative that we are going against China or that our government has pressured us to change the script or rewrite it…this is all nonsense. It’s not true at all,” he clarified, further explaining, “We have made a film about soldiers and what they and their families go through. We have shown that side and this side too. So, there are no negative forces here. Only their circumstances are such. And for these soldiers, the nation comes first. They like each other, but when a situation arises, both sides try to resolve it"He continued "Our director had a different version at first….” he said with an awkward pause, nodding his head. As the actors around him laughed and the director agreed, he added, “There was,” without elaborating. Salman made it clear that Maatrubhumi was not a biopic, but it was only inspired by a line his father, Salim Khan, once told him. “In war, a bullet reaches its target; it reaches the mother’s heart.”He added “I just wanted a film which is man on man, that’s all. Yes, there are Chinese and us in it, which created the perception that it would ruin our relationship. I don’t believe that Salman Khan has made a film here, be it for, against, or anything. I don’t think the Chinese will now say, Salman Khan has made this film; let’s attack them. If Jackie Chan makes a film, I don’t think our army would attack them for it.”The film got a new release date and the film will now be releasing on 4 December 2026. Announcing the release date, Salman said "Today, there are a lot of VFX experts out there who examine each and every shot of a film. So, with this film, we don't want to give anyone an opportunity to zoom in on a scene and criticise its VFX. We want this film to visually blow everyone's mind. It is a beautifully shot film."He went on "We thought we would be able to complete the film in 45-50 days, but madam got injured, and it took her time to recover. We were earlier supposed to release the film in either January or June, but it was then pushed to August. Now, we will release it on December 4,"- Nirvighn Nandivada

Mahasakthi(2026) Movie: What's BehindNayanthara's Mookuthi Amman 2 is releasing on November 6, 2026 in Telugu as Mahasakthi.The film is generating interest as it is the sequel to the hit film Mookuthi Amman. Let us find out what impact the film created on movie lovers.Mahasakthi(2026) Movie: Story ReviewMahasakthi story revolves around the fight between Godly and Evil forces and the secret behind the sacrifice of a Queen. Police Officer Shakti (Nayanthara), experiences nightmares for unknown reasons.What is the mystery behind it and what role her mother (Urvashi), and how it is connected to Periyava (YG. Mahendran), unknown power (Regina Cassandra) and others from the rest of the developments.Mahasakthi(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewNayanthara slipped into the role effortlessly. She entertained with her graceful performance and also at the same time impressed with her valor and made powerful impact.Urvashi in the role of mother is good balancing her expressions and emotions. &nbsp;Regina Cassandra made her presence felt on the screen in a different role. But her attire and costume design is not up to the mark and she looked odd on the screen.Duniya Vijay made is Kollywood Debut came up with a decent performance. However, Yogi Babu's comedy didn't work out. Others performed according to their roles.Mahasakthi(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewMahasakthi story is penned by Sundar C. While the first part is directed by RJ Balaji and NJ. Saravanan, Sundar directed the sequel. The story is different from the first part. The first part dealt with take godmen exploiting the beliefs of the people. Sundari C went one step ahead, including Goddess, evil forces, Saitan and what not.However the story follows the routine template of devotional and fantasy elements and comes with a little twist. He blended commercial and entertainment masala elements in his own style. Though there are experienced actress like Urvashi, even her presence couldn't take the film to next level. To the top of it, Yogi Babu's comedy looked irrelevant and out of sync and impacted the narration.The narration starts with the mysterious elements in the temples and the pace is slow and steady. Only after Nayanthara starts to unravel the mystery, the screenplay picks up pace. After the fight between good and evil, the story ends on a predictable note. Sneha and Khushboo made special appearances and feature in a high octane doing ahead of the heavily used VFX climax.Hip Hop Tamizha's music didn't add any value to the proceedings. His elevated the scenes to some extent with impactful background score but most of the time it turned out to be loud.The re-recording highlighted the mood of the film's genre. The Cinematography of Gopi Amarnath added value to the narration and is effective. VFX turned out to be the weak link. The editing of Fenny Oliver is ok but could have been far better at times. Dialogues are ok. Production values are good.Mahasakthi Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Nayanthara</li></ul>Mahasakthi(2026) Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Weak Screenplay</li><li>Illogical Scenes</li><li>VFX</li></ul>Mahasakthi(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Mahasakthi fails to make any impact devotionally. People are left to wonder, why Sundar named the film as the sequel to Mookuthi Amman. He could have named it with different title or Aranmanai 5. It seems he was under the impression the more characters, supernatural elements will excite all. But weak Screenplay, illogical scenes and characterizations brought down the intensity. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Mahashakti.

Scene (2026) Movie: What's BehindSuriya who is riding on the success of Karuppu and Viswanath &amp; Sons is coming to show his police power with his film Scene which released on 6 November 2026. Let us see whether Suriya's police power shook the box office or not.Scene (2026) Movie: Story ReviewScene story revolves around a police officer and the happenings after he starts investigating and reopening an unsolved case. DSP Premraj(Suriya) who stays away from the police force for unknown reasons, is bestowed upon the responsibility to reopen an unsolved case and start the investigation.What Premraj stays away from the police force, what startling findings he unravels in the investigation and how it is connected to his girlfriend Maya( Nazriya Nazim), his father (Anandraj), Stephen (Lal), Eeswaran(Naslen), Inspector Sibi (Rajpriyan) form the crux of the developments.Scene (2026) Movie: Artists ReviewSuriya looked young , energetic and dashing on the screen. He as a police officer showed variations in his expressions and emotions as an unpredictable and eccentric person. He with his mannerisms and comic timing entertains all.Naslen came up with a chilling performance and his psychological battle with Suriya is good. Nazriya Nazim is good and enacted action sequences with ease. Her chemistry with Suriya is attractive. However she looked older than Suriya.Lal with his performance evoked a few laughs. Others like Anandraj and Raj Priyan are ok in their roles.Scene (2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewScene story is penned by Jithu Madhavan of Aavesham fame. He made his Kollywood entry with this film. He starts the narration in an interesting manner before the introduction of Suriya in a typical stylish way as usual.The first half is full of investigation proceedings, dialogues between three cops and a few hilarious elements in the backdrop of serious tone. However, a couple of scenes and twists looked unconvincing. Still the first half turns out to be a decent watch.The second half nose dives completely with uninteresting elements and insipid investigation. Except for a few scenes here and there, everything turns lackluster. The climax ends on a disappointing and weak note with no real face off.Sushin Shyam failed completely with his music. However, he came up with a breezy and groovy background music to elevate the scenes. His innovative background score added a quirky look to the proceedings.Vineeth Augustin with his Cinematography elevated the tone and tenor of the film's genre. Ajmal Sabu's editing turned out to be a mixed bag. He left many dragging scenes unattended in the second half which resulted in a tedious watch. Production values are adequate.Scene Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Suriya</li><li>Background Score</li><li>Few Entertaining Elements</li></ul>Scene Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Uninteresting Investigation</li><li>Characterizations</li></ul>Scene (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Scene turns out to be a routine investigative drama. Except for Suriya's performance and few hilarious elements, it offered nothing new. Jithu Madhavan is successful in showing Suriya in a different way but the weak characterizations and surprisingly weak investigation along with the underwhelming climax played the spoilsport. A racy screenplay and powerful characterizations doing with redoing of the script would have added more power. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Scene.

Summer Holidays (2026) Movie: What's BehindRohan and Arun's Summer Holidays, directed by Srikar Nayan G, hit the screens on November 6, 2026. The film promises to take audiences back to the carefree days of summer vacations. Does it manage to recreate that nostalgia? Let's find out.Summer Holidays (2026) Movie: Story ReviewSummer Holidays revolves around a young boy who faces constant pressure from his parents to score good marks and secure top ranks, often at the cost of his own interests.RV (Arun Dev), who studies in the city, is regularly pushed by his father (Harshavardhan) to focus on academics. Things take a different turn when he visits his grandmother's (Jayasudha) home during the summer holidays along with his mother (Vasuki). There, he meets a young boy, KV (Rohan Rai).How this friendship changes RV's outlook and what roles KV's mother (Varshini), Varma (Rajeev Kanakala) and Sumathi (Baby Khushi) play in the story form the rest of the narrative.Summer Holidays (2026) Movie: Artists' PerformancesThe film largely rests on the shoulders of Rohan Rai and Arun Dev, and both make a good impression. They bring innocence and natural expressions to their characters, handling the emotional and humorous moments convincingly.Baby Khushi and the other child actors add to the film's entertainment value. Jayasudha is effective as the grandmother, while Vasuki Anand and Harshavardhan do well as RV's parents. Rajeev Kanakala stands out with a strong performance.Summer Holidays (2026) Movie: Technical AspectsSrikar Nayan G builds the story around childhood friendships, summer holidays and the simple joys of village life. The film brings back memories of carefree vacations spent playing with friends and enjoying time away from school. It also underlines the importance of friendship, hard work and finding happiness beyond academic marks.The film begins with the conflict between a father and son before moving into the village setting. The narrative picks up pace as RV meets KV, and the emotional interval sequence sets up the second half well.However, the proceedings become predictable after the interval. Though the emotional moments, both happy and sad, have their share of impact, the screenplay follows familiar lines. The climax provides some emotional satisfaction, but the film could have made a stronger impression with tighter writing.Sai Prakash Ummadisingu's cinematography captures the village atmosphere beautifully. Sinjith Yerramilli's songs are pleasant and have been picturised well. Santosh Naidu's editing is decent, though a few portions could have been trimmed. The production values are good.Summer Holidays Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Village backdrop</li><li>Performances</li><li>Emotions and humour</li></ul>Summer Holidays Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable story</li><li>Convenient screenplay</li><li>Flat narration</li></ul>Summer Holidays (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisSummer Holidays is a feel-good entertainer that banks on nostalgia, childhood memories and emotions. Debutant director Srikar Nayan G handles the central idea with clarity and conviction. The producers deserve appreciation for backing a story that focuses on simple human emotions rather than relying on violence and commercial gimmicks.However, the film's impact is limited by its flat narration and convenient screenplay. A tighter script, a more engaging pace and fewer predictable moments could have made it a better experience. Despite its pleasant moments, the film leaves the feeling that something is missing.Considering its strengths and shortcomings, Cinejosh rates Summer Holidays 2.5/5.

Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: What's BehindRamayana is one of the most ambitious Indian films, bringing the country's much-loved epic to the big screen on a grand scale. Nitesh Tiwari, known for films like Dangal and Chhichhore, has taken up the responsibility of presenting this timeless story to audiences across the world. Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana have added to the curiosity surrounding the project. With A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer handling the music, expectations are high. The film's massive scale and star cast have made it one of the most anticipated cinematic ventures. Let us see how far Ramayana lives up to the expectations.Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: StoryThe Ramayana is a story that needs no introduction. Nitesh Tiwari brings the epic to the big screen, focusing on the journey of Rama, his marriage to Sita, their exile and the events that lead to her abduction by Ravana. The first part introduces the key characters and sets up the conflict between Rama and Ravana, with the much-awaited battle left for the next instalment.Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: PerformancesRanbir Kapoor looks convincing as Lord Rama. He brings the required calmness and dignity to the character. Sai Pallavi is a good choice for Sita, and her natural performance adds grace to the role. Both actors do justice to their characters.Yash makes his presence felt as Ravana. His looks, body language and screen presence suit the character, and he brings the required intensity whenever he appears. Ravi Dubey is good as Lakshmana, while the supporting cast does its job well.Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: Technical AspectsThe biggest attraction of Ramayana is its scale. The sets, costumes, locations and production design give the film a grand look. The visual effects work well in several important sequences, though a few shots could have been better. The Jatayu episode is one of the film's standout moments.A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer's music adds weight to the proceedings, particularly in the important sequences. The background score works better than the songs. Cinematography is impressive, while the editing could have been sharper in a few portions.Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: AnalysisNitesh Tiwari has taken up a challenging task, and there is no doubt that the film has been mounted on a huge scale. Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi do justice to Rama and Sita, while Yash brings the necessary power to Ravana. The casting is one of the film's strengths.However, the film doesn't maintain the same pace throughout. Some episodes take longer than necessary, and the narration loses momentum in a few places. Despite having several visually impressive moments, the emotional impact is not equally strong across the film. The familiar story also puts more responsibility on the writing to keep audiences engaged, and this is where the film could have done better.The first part largely concentrates on establishing the characters and their worlds. While it offers enough moments to enjoy on the big screen, the wait for the actual Rama-Ravana battle may leave some viewers wanting more.Ramayana Part 1 Movie: Plus Points<ul><li>Grand production values</li><li>Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi's performances</li><li>Yash as Ravana</li><li>Impressive visuals</li><li>Jatayu episode</li><li>Background score</li></ul>Ramayana Part 1 Movie: Minus Points<ul><li>Slow narration in parts</li><li>Lengthy runtime</li><li>Uneven visual effects</li><li>Emotional impact could have been stronger</li><li>Editing could have been tighter</li></ul>Ramayana Part 1 (2026) Movie: VerdictRamayana has the scale and performances needed for a grand theatrical experience. Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash make the familiar characters interesting to watch, and some sequences leave a strong impression. However, the slow narration and lack of consistent emotional depth hold the film back. It is a decent first instalment that sets up the bigger conflict for the next part.

Rudravanam PS Web Series: What's BehindRudravanam PS webseries starring Naresh Agastya under the direction of Sasidhar Munnangi is streaming on Zee5 starting from 30 October. Let us find out how the web series thrilled movie lovers.Rudravanam PS Web Series: Story ReviewRudravanam PS story revolves around mysterious murders and disappearance of a politician and where the investigation by the cops lead to. CI Venu Gopal (Banerjee) along with SI Siva Kumar (Naresh Agastya) starts investigating the mysterious disappearances of 8 people that include even the brother of MLA Bhairavulu (Raja Ravindra). Where this leads to, how it is connected to his wife Swarna (Preeti Sunder), Anji (Charu Vaken) and others form the interesting twist.Rudravanam PS Web Series: Artists ReviewNaresh Agasthya performed well in his role. He showed his acting talent showing variations in his body language and screen presence. He showed the required seriousness in his role during the investigation and while following orders from the higherups. &nbsp;He delivered dialogues highlighting the emotions with his expressions. Charu Vaken impressed with his performance in the final episodes.Banerjee is good in the role of the higher up. Shravani Reddy is good in her role. However Anji's character is not shown in the most interesting manner. Raja Ravindra, Preeti Sundar, Shiva Alapati performed according to their roles.Rudravanam PS Web Series: Technicians ReviewRudravanam PS story is written by Taj Sayed and is helmed by Sasidhar Munnangi. He tried to excite all with the crime thriller. The first four episodes progress in a interesting and exciting manner. He designed the character of Naresh Agasthya. The happenings involving the character of Anji is good. But these things could have been shown in the more impactful manner.Sasidhar Munnangi the loses plot in the last three episodes diluting the intensity levels. Had these scenes designed in &nbsp;an interesting manner, things would have been different. The more subplots as the investigation progresses resulted in the decrease of interest leves as it resulted in confusion all over. It turned out to be a mixed bag with few scenes getting dragged unnecessarily and some scenes ending rather abruptly.Many murder mysteries came with such plot and very few of them are engaging. Rudravanam PS also fails to engage. The first four episodes though interesting are dragged showing the restlessness in the police force and the story do not head anywhere. The entire story is narrated in the last two episodes and the &nbsp;motive of the culprit is shown in the last episode and this is little interesting. However, even that pales due to the weak motive.Ashkar Ali with his cinematography showed the rural village atmosphere in the natural and realistic manner. However Madhav's editing should have been &nbsp;more sharper as there are many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. The background music of Saluri Vasu Rao is good and added value to the narration. Production values are good.Rudravanam PS Web Series: Advantages<ul><li>Naresh Agasthya's characterisation</li><li>BGM</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Interesting &nbsp;Climax</li></ul>Rudravanam PS Web Series: Disadvantages<ul><li>Missing Emotions</li><li>Spineless Screenplay</li><li>Subplots</li><li>Weak Twists</li></ul>Rudravanam PS Web Series: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Rudravanam PS turns out to be a routine investigative thriller. Naresh Agasthya came up with a spirited performance and director Sasidhar Munnangi tried to thrill viewers in this 7 episodes webseries. While he made an impactful start with the first four episodes showing the investigating episodes in an exciting and interesting manner, the last three episodes except for the climax goes for a toss. For all his efforts, though the characterisation of Naresh Agasthya's role appeals, everything goes missing. The story lacked the emotional connect with things passing through the motions and screenplay turning spineless and stale without offering nothing much to excite. Little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay and powerful emotions would have added more punch to the story. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Rudravanam PS.

Akka (2026) Web Series: StoryAkka is set in the 1980s in Pernuru, a fictional South Indian kingdom ruled by women for generations. The society follows its own traditions, with women holding power and men having a limited role in the kingdom's affairs. Bhavani (Keerthy Suresh) is the powerful matriarch who controls the kingdom and tries to protect its traditions and authority.However, her world gets disturbed when Rudra (Radhika Apte), an outsider with a personal vendetta, enters Pernuru with plans to take control. What follows is a violent battle involving power, revenge, betrayals and family rivalries. How Bhavani handles the threat and what happens to the kingdom form the rest of the story.Akka Web Series: PerformancesKeerthy Suresh gets a strong character in Bhavani, but the writing does not give her enough emotional depth to make the role memorable. She manages to bring some authority to the character, although the overall impact remains limited.Radhika Apte gets an interesting role as Rudra, but her characterisation and dialogue delivery do not create the desired impact. Tanvi Azmi and Monika Panwar have their moments, while Mahesh Manjrekar, Anshuman Pushkar, Vishak Nair and the rest of the supporting cast have limited scope to make an impression.Akka Web Series: AnalysisAkka starts with an interesting premise. A fictional kingdom controlled by women, where power struggles and gangster politics take centre stage, offers plenty of scope for an engaging period crime drama. The conflict between Bhavani and Rudra also provides an interesting foundation.Unfortunately, the writing fails to make proper use of this idea. The series spends considerable time establishing its fictional world, traditions and characters, but struggles to create emotional involvement. Despite several betrayals, violent confrontations and power games, the proceedings rarely become engaging.The biggest problem is the lack of strong characterisation. Both Bhavani and Rudra are introduced as powerful women, but their motivations and emotional journeys are not explored effectively. Several subplots occupy considerable screen time without adding much value to the central conflict.The series also relies heavily on violence and grand visuals to create an impression. However, the action sequences lack the impact required to elevate the drama. Even when the narrative reaches important turning points, the emotional connect remains weak.Akka Web Series: Technical AspectsThe production design, costumes and locations give the series a lavish appearance. However, the artificial presentation and excessive stylisation make the fictional world less convincing. The background score is largely unremarkable and fails to enhance the intensity of the confrontations. The writing and direction needed much more conviction to turn the ambitious premise into an engaging drama.Akka Web Series: Plus Points<ul><li>Interesting central premise</li><li>Some detailing of the matriarchal society</li><li>Lavish production design and costumes</li></ul>Akka Web Series: Minus Points<ul><li>Weak and simplistic writing</li><li>Poor character development</li><li>Lack of emotional depth</li><li>Unconvincing world-building</li><li>Underwhelming action and background score</li></ul>Akka Web Series: VerdictAkka has an interesting premise and a lavish setup, but the execution fails to match its ambition. The power struggle between two strong female characters could have made for an engaging gangster drama. However, weak writing, shallow characterisation and a lack of emotional depth make the series a disappointing watch. Despite its visual grandeur, Akka turns out to be more about show than substance.

She indulged in glamor treat to attract youth. She is ok with her expressions. Most of the role her role demanded singular expression and it is ok. She delivered dialogues accordingly. She also enacted few stunts to thrill.Chandrakanth Kollu who made his debut in the role of brother is good. He showed emotions and delivered dialogues and came up with a decent performance. Poorvaj played the role of the scientist and investigating officer. He overacted in the role of the investigating officer testing the patience of all. He is fine in the role of the scientist.Manish Gilada, Archana Ananth,Vishal Raj, Chakradhar and others performed according to their roles.KilleR(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewKilleR story is penned by Poorvaj. He tried to thrill viewers with spy thriller with sci fi elements. He started the narration in an &nbsp;interesting way but quickly loses plot even before the interest is built. He tried to come up with numerous questions and with different screenplay and taking, use of various technological jargons, he decided to provided the answers.While he generated interest with some of the scenes, the investigation scenes irritates viewers with the overaction of the cast and the repetitive scenes. The end of the first half sets the stage for the second half. Couple of twists in the second half turnout to be ok but many scenes in the second half turned repetitive and routine. There are many illogical scenes and also the climax scenes looks out of snyc.Ashirvad &amp; Suman Jeeva's background score followed the same template. While in the beginning it is good and makes an impact, later it turned out to be typical and routine. Jagadeesh Bommisetti's cinematography is of good standards. He showed the scenes in a decent and appealing way. The VFX and CGI are decent. Editing of Poorvaj could have been far better especially in the second half. Dialogues are ok and production values are good.KilleR Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Concept</li></ul>KilleR Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Everything</li></ul>KilleR(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, KilleR turns out to be an atrocious flick. Director Poorvaaj came up with a story that looked silly to the core. The cast and crew just passed through the motions. The non-linear screenplay ended up testing the patience of all the movie lovers and also confuses everyone. No amount of changes in the story, screenplay, or soul would have changed the final output. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.25 rating for Killer.

Cult(2026) Movie: What's BehindMass Ka Das Vishwak Sen who is known for his different genre mass entertainers is coming up with the film titled Cult. Interest levels are increasing as Vishwak Sen himself is directing the project. With the makers promoting the film as the most violent, people are excited. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by . Let us see what Cult offered to movie lovers.Cult(2026) Movie: Story ReviewCult story revolves around the shocking incidents that happen inside the birthday party of the top politician's son. Home Minister (Murali Sharma) aspires to be the next CM and in the meantime, shocking incidents happen in the birthday party hosted by his son Elvin (Tarak Ponnappa). &nbsp;What are those shocking incidents, what role DSP Sanklap Nayak (Vishwak Sen) played and how Maya (Gayatri Bharadwaj), Police Commissioner Vijay Mishra (Srikanth Iyengar) are connected form the crux of the narration.Cult(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVishwak Sen once again made an impact with his swag and mannerisms in the role of the police. He showed non sensical attitude in a realistic way in his body language. He made good impact with his expressions and emotions. His dialogue delivery &nbsp;and punches elevate the scenes. He enacted stunts with ease and with full energy.Tarak Ponnappa is good in the role of the minister's son. He impressive with his arrogant mannerisms. Murali Sharma is good in the role of the Home Minister and Srikanth Iyengar made his presence felt as the commissioner. Gayatri Bharadwaj is ok with her performance but her role is not that of importance in the film.Cult(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewCult story &nbsp;is penned by Vishwak Sen. He tried to thrill viewers with the violent action thriller. However he came up with a routine revenge drama increasing the dosage of violence. Most of the time, the narration is high on action and violence sequences and due to this the story and screenplay went for a toss. The entire first half is loaded with predictable elements and the story picks up pace only after the entry of Vishwak Sen &nbsp;and the games in the party. The interval bang sets the stage for the second half.The second half is racy with the unraveling of the mystery and blended with action elements. But &nbsp;the flashback turns routine and climax lacks the thrill. The film ends with the lead to the sequel. The story resembles that of Squid Games and though it is new to the Telugu movie lovers on the big screen, those who watches similar films in OTTs find nothing exciting.The background music of Ravi Basrur elevated many scenes. Aravind Viswanathan's cinematography is good and showed the scenes in a stylish way. The editing of Ravi Teja Girijala is ok. Production values are ok.Cult Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Vishwak Sen</li><li>Action Sequences</li></ul>Cult Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Flashback</li><li>Climax</li></ul>Cult(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Cult turns out to be routine violent action entertainer. Vishwak Sen acted and directed the film. Vishwak Sen drew inspiration of Hollyood films and series like Squid Games. The story turns routine and screenplay turned out to be a mixed back. With the most of the story starting only after more than one hour, viewers get impatient. The weak flashback and climax played the spoilsport.To the top of it, Vishwak Sen who made an impact as an actor on the screen appears only at the end of the first half, disappointing all. Little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay, doing away with predictable first half and other scenes, things would have been different.

He entertains with his trademark mannerisms, dialogue delivery and expressions. He also emotes well in the serious portions and carries several scenes with his screen presence. His performance remains one of the film's biggest strengths.Srinidhi Shetty looks good on screen and impresses with her innocent performance.

Udaybir Sandhu is fine as the villain.Aadarsha Kutumbam(2026) Movie: Technicians Review Trivikram starts the narration in an interesting manner and introduces Venkatesh with an entertaining sequence. The first half then moves forward with a mix of comedy and family situations. Though the proceedings are somewhat predictable, Trivikram's dialogues and Venkatesh's performance keep the momentum going.The interval sequence comes with a surprise and creates some interest for the second half. However, the sequence also reminds us of the Tamil film Blast.The second half is where the film loses some of its freshness. The proceedings become predictable and repetitive, with the story largely focusing on how the family tries to save themselves from the criminals. Still, there are a few entertaining moments and twists that keep the film watchable before it reaches a predictable conclusion.Trivikram's story does not offer anything particularly new apart from a couple of twists. The screenplay is straightforward and lacks the novelty expected from him. However, his trademark dialogue writing and the performances help the film in several places.Thaman's songs do not make much of an impact and are not presented particularly well on screen. His background score, however, is effective and suits the proceedings.Ravi K Chandran's cinematography gives the film a colourful and appealing look. Naveen Nooli's editing is good, though the second half could have benefited from tighter cuts. The dialogues work in parts and the production values are good.Aadarsha Kutumbam Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Venkatesh</li><li>Entertaining first half</li><li>Comedy and family moments</li><li>Few interesting twists</li><li>BGM</li></ul>Aadarsha Kutumbam Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable second half</li><li>Familiar situations</li><li>Lack of novelty in the screenplay</li></ul>Aadarsha Kutumbam(2026) Movie: Rating Analysis Altogether, Aadarsha Kutumbam turns out to be a fairly engaging family entertainer with a mix of comedy, thrills and unexpected turns. Venkatesh is at his entertaining best and carries the film with his trademark expressions, mannerisms and dialogue delivery. Trivikram manages to create several enjoyable moments, particularly in the first half, with his witty dialogues and interesting setup.The second half loses some of the freshness seen earlier and becomes predictable in places. A few situations also remind us of familiar films, which takes away some of the impact. Still, the film has enough entertaining moments, a few good twists and a strong lead performance to make it a decent theatrical watch.Considering the overall entertainment, Venkatesh's performance, humour, thrills and technical aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Aadarsha Kutumbam.
