Director Nag Ashwin has now revealed that only around 10 days of shooting have been completed so far.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Ravi Teja’s Irumudi has given director Shiva Nirvana a major boost, with the film receiving strong box office response and industry appreciation. Following this success, reports about his next project have intensified. One social-media rumour links him with Nandamuri Balakrishna, but current reports do not provide confirmation of this proposed combination.The Balakrishna speculation has gained attention because Shiva Nirvana’s emotional storytelling could create an interesting contrast with the actor’s established mass image. However, Balakrishna already has NBK111 with Gopichand Malineni and NBK112 with Koratala Siva in his lineup. Therefore, a Shiva Nirvana collaboration currently remains only speculation without official confirmation.Interestingly, multiple reports after Irumudi have mentioned Suriya, Dhanush and Naga Chaitanya as possible contenders for Shiva Nirvana’s next project. Suriya is reportedly interested in a straight Telugu film, while Dhanush has apparently appreciated Irumudi and shown interest. Naga Chaitanya already shares a successful association with Shiva Nirvana through Majili.The director’s next choice therefore remains open, with reports suggesting that the right script will ultimately decide the collaboration. While Balakrishna’s name continues circulating among fans, Suriya, Dhanush and Naga Chaitanya currently have stronger reported links. Until Shiva Nirvana, the respective actors, or producers make an official announcement, these reports should be treated as speculation. - Veda

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.

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;

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. Production values of grand.Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Yash Performance</li><li>Cinematography</li></ul>Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Story, Screenplay, Direction</li><li>Missing Emotions</li><li>Artificial Elements</li><li>Mindless Violence</li><li>Excessive Lust</li></ul>Toxic(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups turns out to be director's revenge on viewers. Geetu Mohan Das tried to show Yash in a powerful role full of emotions in the backdrop of intense romantic elements. However, she failed completely to do justice to the faith shown on her by Yash.The story looked ok to some extent, though predictable, but she drew inspiration from films like KGF, Animal and others. 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. No amount of changes would have changed the final result.Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups

Ameer Log(2026) Movie: What's BehindSmall film Ameer Log is generating interest with a captivating teaser and trailer. On top of that, with Rana associating with the project and presenting it, expectations increased. The film releases on 21 Aug 2026, and let us see what Ameer Log offers movie lovers.Ameer Log(2026) Movie: Story ReviewAmeer Log's story revolves around three friends who enjoy life in a bindaas manner before they are forced to change their behavior, and where this leads forms the interesting part.Seenu (Hari), Rafiq(Manoj) &nbsp;and Mallesh (Sashidhar) pass time not caring for their near and dear ones and following an incident, they change their ways, What is that incident, how it changed their lives and what part &nbsp;Nazeer (Sai Yogi), Chacha (Viswender Reddy), Seenu's mother, Rafiq's brother and sister in law, Mallesh's parents played and the connection to Geetha (Vedha Jalandharr), Ravi (Ravan Nitturu) should be watched on the screen.Ameer Log(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewHari, who played the lead role, did well as a youngster who, after spending life listlessly, changes himself. 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.

Shiva Nirvana came up with a story to connect chords with the viewers with father-daughter sentiment, raising of children, and blended well with the commercial and devotional elements. The first half sails off smoothly with the typical introduction of the protagonist in a commercial mass manner and carries it in the same manner. However, in between, he loses steam, but still, the first half ends on a decent note, setting the tone for the second half.He continues in the same manner in the second half but adds a few more intense emotional elements. A couple of twists generate interest, surprising all. The twists come as a surprise in a rather predictable story, and the flat narration, especially in the second half. However, once the twists are unraveled, there is nothing much in the story to take it forward. The climax ends on an emotional note.GV. Prakash Kumar elevated the scenes with his background music. His background score added impact to the emotional scenes. His music and tunes for the songs already became the chartbusters. The song placement, however, could have been better.Vishnu Sharma, with his cinematography, turned the scenes into visually appealing manner. He showed the scenes in a natural and realistic way. Prawin Pudi's editing is ok and could have been better in the second half. A few repetitive scenes in the second half slowed the pace of the narration. Production values are grand.Irumudi Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="ed49577737747e880a185d019569b6bb4">Ravi Teja</li><li data-list-item-id="edf0a57026dd59cee020e559edb0b711e">Couple of Twists</li><li data-list-item-id="eb1926a324d5ac0a073ad90c1a1141713">Emotional Elements</li></ul>Irumudi Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eaa383771ec717dd568ef9b36764b4e8b">Weak Characterisations</li><li data-list-item-id="e1e45af9ae233b1294c249aacc02fe629">Predictable Elements</li></ul>Irumudi(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Irumudi turns out to be a decent entertainer with a couple of twists. Ravi Teja carries the film with a balanced and subtle performance, while Shiva Nirvana blends the father-daughter relationship with commercial and devotional elements.The story maintains a routine flavor in parts, while the devotional backdrop adds a different dimension to the proceedings. Shiva Nirvana handles the first half well and keeps the narrative engaging with a few interesting moments. But the pre-interval and interval bangs turn out to be bland.The second half is driven more by emotions and twists, with the story gradually building curiosity. However, there is some lag in the proceedings, and a tighter screenplay with a little trimming in the second half could have made the film more engaging and impactful.Overall, Irumudi has its moments and works as a decent entertainer, with Ravi Teja’s performance and the emotional elements standing out. A little more grip in the second half could have elevated the final result further. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 3 rating for Irumudi.

Pallaburusu (2026) Movie: What's BehindSudhakar Reddy, Muralidhar Goud's Pallaburusu, directed by Uday Chauhan released on 14 Aug 2026. 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.

Makutam(2026) Movie: What's BehindKollywood Star Vishal is known for his high octane action entertainers. He is coming with Magudam which is releasing in Telugu as Makutam on 14 Aug 2026.

Let us see what Vishal offered to movie lovers with Makutam.Makutam(2026) Movie: Story ReviewMakutam story is all about a &nbsp;medical representative and the shocking happenings in his life and the reason behind them. A honest medical representative, Krupakar ( Vishal) , finally realises his dream of owning a car. &nbsp;However, his holiday outing with his wife Jamuna( Dushara Vijayan) and children in his car leads to shocking developments.What are those shocking developments, how it is connected to Linga (Vishal), Annapurna (Anjali), Naga( Ajay), Jana ( John Vijay), Martin ,Lala, Pandu ( Jayaprakash ) and others form the rest of developments.Makutam(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewVishal is ok in his role. 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. Production values are good.Husharu Pittalu Movie: Advantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="eaab4a7a9e69c99fad177be7679382d4f">Performances</li><li data-list-item-id="ec182423bbc4828372cd61b4e74ee9604">Message</li></ul>Husharu Pittalu Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li data-list-item-id="e913fb5f4c84e11e39b49e0469f2264c2">Routine Shades</li><li data-list-item-id="e44d6a80f9a4838f881111f6615e26a29">Bold scenes involving minors</li></ul>Husharu Pittalu(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Husharu Pittalur turns out to be a decent, predictable youthful entertainer. 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.

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.

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.

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;

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.

There are few interesting scenes but with better screenplay, things would have become more interesting.The cinematography of Nagesh Banell is good.

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.

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.

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;
