&nbsp;&nbsp; Nani’s The Paradise faced an unexpected situation at TNR Northcity Mall &amp; Multiplex in Suchitra, Hyderabad, on its opening day. Several minors who had booked tickets were reportedly denied entry because the film carries an adults only ‘A’ certificate. Booking platforms also clearly display the 18+ age restriction.According to reports, the situation led to arguments between the theatre management and the parents of the minors. Police were called after the disagreement escalated, with around ten parents reportedly seeking refunds. Pet Bashirabad police reached the venue and intervened, following which the ticket amounts were reportedly refunded.The Paradise received an ‘A’ certificate from the CBFC because of its intense violence and mature content. The certification legally restricts theatrical admission to adults, while the film’s official booking listings identify it as ‘A’ or adults only. Parents should therefore check certification and age restrictions before purchasing tickets for minors.The incident reportedly caused a delay to the 7:30 PM screening at the multiplex before the situation was resolved. The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela and starring Nani, features a raw period action setting and a runtime of around 2 hours 54 minutes. The CBFC also required multiple changes involving violence and dialogue. - Veda

&nbsp;&nbsp; iBomma Ravi, also known as Immadi Ravi, has received partial relief from Nampally court in Hyderabad. The court directed police to allow him to use his previously frozen bank accounts for regular financial transactions. However, the approximately ₹3 crore amount remaining frozen in those accounts cannot currently be withdrawn.Ravi had approached the court citing financial difficulties and problems supporting his family after his accounts were frozen during the piracy investigation. His petition sought access to the frozen funds, including the ₹3 crore amount. The court granted permission to operate the accounts but declined to release the disputed funds.The development follows Ravi’s arrest in November 2025 in connection with the iBomma piracy investigation. Police have alleged that the network caused losses running into thousands of crores for the film industry and involved multiple mirror websites. These remain allegations connected to the ongoing investigation, rather than established court findings.Ravi subsequently received conditional bail in February 2026, with restrictions reportedly including cooperation with investigators and surrender of his passport. His latest petition specifically sought relief from the financial restrictions. The Nampally court’s latest order provides access to account operations, while keeping the ₹3 crore under the existing freeze.- Veda

Secret behind Bollywood pathetic situation. Once there was a time that Bollywood became the Indian Cinema. International media also branded Bollywood as Indian Cinema. Now the situation has changed completely.Of late more than 98% of the films in Bollywood are unable to get even minimum positive talk. They are even accused of merely making films only for OTTs. Inside talk is more than 75% films are unable to recover their budget through theatrical rights. The makers are getting saved only through OTT deals.Even Bollywood stars heroes are struggling to score hits. Except for couple of stars, others are unable to come with successive hits. They are facing accusation that Bollywood films are not of the standard of the south and they are far behind Malayalam films in quality content.Tollywood and Kollywood already crossed Bollywood regarding budget of the films. Some say that due to this, the standard of Bollywood films came down. Most of the films in Bollywood are now made in low budget and even then they are failing to recover the cost. Some say this is due to the selection of directors.From upcoming heroes to star heroes, they are setting conditions to the producers regarding the directors and producers are left with no choice but to dance to their tunes. Most of the stars in Bollywood are showing interest in doing films with few directors even though they are delivering flops. Some say, nepotism or some other reasons could be playing an important point.Many are saying many directors without any talent are making more films. It is becoming difficult for the newcomers to make their mark in the industry. First they had to prove themselves with web series and OTT films. New directors are not getting chance to narrate the story to top stars and that was the reason, Bollywood is not seeing the rise of new directors unlike down south. In south, irrespective of the result of the films, new directors are coming up with films with top stars. Only when Bollywood gives chances to new directors and reduce nepotism, things will change for good.- Pramod Nandivada

Sukumar’s filmmaking school has produced several notable directors, but Buchi Babu Sana and Srikanth Odela are now facing the tougher second film phase. Buchi Babu followed Uppena with Ram Charan’s Peddi, while Odela has returned with Nani’s The Paradise. Both projects significantly expanded their scale and commercial expectations.Uppena became a major success and established Buchi Babu quickly, while Dasara similarly gave Srikanth Odela a strong breakthrough. Their follow ups, however, arrived with bigger stars, larger production values and greater expectations. Peddi received mixed commercial responses despite its scale, while The Paradise opened to mixed reactions, with its first half and Nani’s performance receiving praise alongside criticism of writing and pacing.The larger budgets are certainly part of the conversation, but they are not the only factor behind the different outcomes.

Both filmmakers attempted to expand their storytelling canvas beyond their successful debuts.Earlier Sukumar too faced same situation.

However he failed to make even a minimal impact on the screen. His so called comedy didnot work. As the narration progressed, he indeed tested the patience of the viewers.Merin Philip made her entry with the female lead. She got a forgettable role. It is written in a poor manner. Prince Cecil passed through the motions. Ajay got another silly character and is wasted altogether. Brahmaji fails to entertain and so too Raashi. Others like Charith, Ananya Akhula also failed to make an impression.Anumana Pakshi(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewAnuamana Pakshi story is penned by Vimal Krishna. Expectations are high as Vimal Krishna earlier came up with DJ Tillu. He tried to entertain viewers showing the happenings in the life of a person who is extremely suspicious. However he completely failed with his story, screenplay and direction.Everything turned cringe from the start. There is nothing to talk about and one gets a feeling that even serials are better and kids can write better stories. The so called humour never worked and infact turned out to be stale. There is not one engaging sequence or entertaining scene to talk about. While the first half turned out to be ridiculous, second half turned out to be atrocious.Dialogues looked outdated and out of sync. Overall, the director failed on all fronts. Sunil Kumar Nama's cinematography left a lot to be desired. Music and background score tuned by Sricharan Pakala were mediocre. Seems Chota K Prasad didnot attend to his editing. Production values are below average.Anumana Pakshi) Movie: Advantages<ul><li>None</li></ul>Anumana Pakshi Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Everyting</li></ul>Anumana Pakshi (2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, Anumana Pakshi turns out to be a cringe fest hiding behing the so called comedy. The entire cast and crew failed on all fronts and the fault lies solely with the director Vimal Krishna. One gets a doubt as to whether Vimal Krishna really penned DJ Tillu story and directed it. Anumana Pakshi had no story and from then on script, screenplay and direction went missing completely. Vimal Krishna just passed time by coming up with silly scenes in the name of comedy and twists. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1 rating for Anumana Pakshi.

The Paradise(2026) Movie: What's BehindNani who is known for his natural performances and Srikanth Odela who teamed with Nani for his debut venture Dasara, a mass entertainer, once again came up with The Paradise. The film's songs, teaser and trailer got tremendous response and increased the curiosity levels. Nani's unique look and transformation captured the imagination of all. The film's Telangana backdrop is appealing to all. The film was released on 24 Sep 2026. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by Netflix and streaming will be after the completion of its theatrical run. Let us see what impact The Paradise made on movie lovers. &nbsp;Paradise(2026) Movie: Story Review"The Paradise" story revolves around the sect who fights for recognition even after India's Independence and where this leads to form the interesting part.Sawari sect who are oppressed in The Paradise by Shikanja Malik ( Mohan Babu) fight for recognition even after India's Independence. Did they reach their goal, what role Jadal( Babu), Sammakka (Sonali Kulakarni ), Vikram Manik ( Raghav Juyal), Subbulakshmi ( Kayadu Lohar), Biryani ( Sampoornesh Babu), MLA Shankaranna (Priyadarshi), Lawyer (Sathyaraj) form the crux of the developments.The Paradise(2026) Movie: Artists ReviewNani, who is known for doing different genre entertainers and a variety of roles, transformed himself completely for this role. His role surprises everyone. He transformed his look completely, sported long braids and also delivered dialogues in Telangana slang. He enacted breathtaking stunts and elevated the scenes with his screen presence blending it with emotions and expressions in an intense manner.Mohan Babu looked menacing in his looks and he looked extremely villainous on the screen. He got good screen presence and came up with powerful performance. His look and character is designed in a terrific manner. He delivered dialogues with ease, wreaking fear in the minds of the viewers.Raghav Juyal made his entry into Tollywood and he an okayish role. He tried to make his presence felt with his unique mannerisms but the weak character did not help the cause. Sonali Kulkarni got the all important role. Her role is pivotal to the story and she captivates all with her powerful expressions and emotions. Kayadu Lohar is ok in her role. She indulged in glamour treat that comes with silly characterisation. Priyadarshi as an MLA made an impact. Sathyaraj also played a key but small role. Sampoornesh Babu got a different role altogether and made full use of it.The Paradise(2026) Movie: Technicians ReviewThe Paradise story is penned by Srikanth Odela. He tried to entertain all by highlighting the fight of the oppressed against the powerful, rich and dreaded people who wields an iron like grip. He starts the narration in an interesting manner and till the introduction of the lead actor, the intensity is maintained in a perfect manner.However, the romantic track slowed the pace of the narration and the story goes nowhere. It comes back to the track with the conflict between the hero and the villian and also the mother-son emotional bonding. The intensity reaches its peaks during the pre interval block before setting the stage for the second half.The second half continues in the same manner with protagonist and antagonist baying for each other's blood and the oppressed sect fighting for recognition. It also boils down whether they should fight for the recognition or for the survival to live another day to continue the fight. The film ends in a predictable tone with many cinematic liberties taken and missing logics hampering the realistic feel.Right after the start, one gets a feeling that something is a miss. Most of the scenes are included and shot only to give elevations. Though the start and introduction of the protagonist increase the curiosity levels, the same is not maintained in the next scenes. Kayadu Lohar's characterisation looked extremely odd and the introduction of Raghav Juyal looks absurd. The scenes of son hating mother is also not established properly. The mother's love for son should have been established in a different manner than selling herself to cure his fever. The interval episode after all the hype, looked normal.The second half picks up pace thanks to the protagonist's decision. However with the scenes turning monotonous and routine ,one cannot travel with them. The role of MLA similar to KCR generates interest. The way the Govt brands the oppressed people as terrorists smacks of logic. Same is the case with the pre climax and climax which turned out to be below average. Srikanth Odela failed as a writer and his direction turned out to be pretty average.Anirudh Ravichander came up with a thumping background score. He took the scenes to the next level with his background music. However at times, his background music turned extremely loud. He came up with two foot tapping tunes and the songs are shot in a beautiful manner. The editing of Naveen Nooli could have been better. There are many scenes that repeated and slowed the tempo of the narration. &nbsp;GK.Vishnu with his cinematography added value to the proceedings. He showed the scenes as per the story backdrop in a natural and realistic way. Dialogues are ok to an extent. Production values are good.Paradise Movie: Advantages<ul><li>Nani</li><li>Cinematography</li><li>Interval Block</li></ul>Paradise Movie: Disadvantages<ul><li>Predictable Elements</li><li>Cinematic Liberties</li><li>Extreme Violence</li><li>Screenplay, Direction</li></ul>The Paradise(2026) Movie: Rating AnalysisAltogether, The Paradise turns out to be the fight of the oppressed for recognition. Nani came up with a sincere and stunning performance. He also underwent remarkable transformation for his role. Srikanth Odela turned successful in giving mass image and elevating Nani's mass mannerism to the next level in the film. Nani showed good intensity in the mass role. He sported a new look and there ends the so-called novelty and creativity in the story. Srikanth Odela's story offered nothing new. Many such stories came earlier and except for Nani's braids, his look resembled that of Ram Charan in Peddi. Even some of the dance moves resembled the same.On top of it, though he did many stunts, many looked forced and artificial. After the intense start, Srikanth Odela turned the narration into a predictable one with romantic elements etc. Couple of scenes in the first half stand and except that , it does not offer anything new and high. He tried to elevate the mother-son sentiment but the scenes do not connect chords as they looked forced and disappeared in the intense action sequences.In his quest to take Nani's mass image to the next level, Srikanth Odela did not concentrate on the story, screenplay and direction. Story looked predictable and one gets a feeling that he drew inspiration from Peddi, Devara, KGF, Pushpa, Salaar and many others. The chapter wise narration reminds one of the successful template of Dhurandhar. In the name of emotions, most of the actors went over the top bringing in artificiality. Similarly, he has taken many cinematic liberties and logics went missing. Excessive violence and use of obscene words and dialogues did not create the required impact.Reworking on the story and script and racy screenplay would have added value to the narration. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for The Paradise.

Director Akki Viswanadha Reddy came up with an interesting Premise. However, inclusion of numerous characters, illogical scenes, confusing and convoluted Screenplay undid all his good intentions.Reducing the number of characters, doing away with technological jargons, more detailed narration with racy screenplay would have added more fire power. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating to Secret Soldier.

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. However he elevated the scenes with his background music. Editing of Chota K Prasad is ok but could have been better as there are scenes that impacted the pace of the narration. Dialogues are ok.

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. They could have easily done away with the song.The main villian revelation did not excite anyone as the director failed to keep the viewers engaged with the suspense till the end. Viewers can easily guess the villian even before the end of the first half thus diluting the intensity levels in the second half. Many such films came earlier and the narration dragged with the routine breakup story of Karthik testing the patience of the viewers. The interval twist turns out to be decent and the second half turns little racy. But the predictable elements robbed the viewers of the excitement.Though few scenes in the runup to the finding of Meghana looked good, the weak villian turned out to be the main drawback. The climax ends on a routine note with an action sequence. There are many routine and predictable scenes in the second half as the narration proceeds towards the climax.The cinematography of Sam K Naidu is good. He showed the visuals in an appealing manner. However in few scenes, the color grading &nbsp;is not done at all robbing the viewers of the seamless experience on the screen. RR.Dhruvan's background music failed to make an impact. 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. There are many repetitive scenes and he could have done away with one song completely and also many scenes especially in the first half.

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.

Manju Bhargavi is ok and so did Kamal Kamaraju and Vamsee Chaganti in their roles.Siddhu Jonnalagadda, with his cameo, made a powerful presence on the screen.

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.

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.

He tried to attract viewers with the love, friendship, and betrayal plot in the rustic village backdrop along with the boat racing competitions. 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.

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.

He tried to generate interest among viewers by following a non-linear screenplay and narration, showing different timelines to and fro, but interest levels disappear as the entire idea becomes predictable with the passage of time.Despite that, the first half turns out decent, with a few interesting scenes setting the tone for the second half. The second half turns out to be even more routine and most of the scenes get a dragged feeling as the so-called emotions fail to make an impact even in the climax.The editing of Dinesh Peddi lacked crispness. He should have used the editing scissors more effectively. Sehkar Chandra's music is ok but the songs fail to make an impact on the viewers.

The slow pace, predictable elements and missing emotions, undid all the good intentions. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.25 rating for Sahaa-Life of Sanju.
