Most Divergent Takes

Srinivasa Mangapuram

Srinivasa Mangapuram

2026 · Telugu360

Srinivasa Mangapuram is an attempt that misses the expectations because of the lazy writing and predictable premises. A better writing, screenplay and an emotional depth of the love story should have made a lot of difference. The freshness and emotional strength expected from a love story are missing.

Romanchakam

Romanchakam

2026 · Telugu360

Overall, Romanchakam has the ingredients of a fun Gen Z entertainer and shows some promise initially, but weak writing, forced conflicts and an underwhelming second half pull it down. It tries to romance you and tries to keep you tense - unfortunately, it succeeds at neither.

Sardar 2

Sardar 2

2026 · Telugu360

Sardar 2 is an over ambitious, over-the-top, logic-less and largely pointless spy thriller packed with dozens of troll-worthy moments. A big scale film with zero impact.

The Paradise

The Paradise

2026 · Telugu360

The Paradise begins as a raw, violent and potentially unique mass film, but loses its way badly after the interval. Srikanth Odela has scale, ambition, visuals and a committed lead actor, but the film lacks the emotional core required to make all that craft connect.

Thella Kagitham

Thella Kagitham

2026 · Telugu360

Thella Kaagitam starts off as a sweet and engaging teen love story, but loses its way in the second half. The cute love story works well in the first half, but the second half runs on a very thin plot and feels stretched, eventually leading to a pathos ending.

Sigma

Sigma

2026 · Telugu360

Sigma is old, outdated and it offers nothing new. Sundeep Kishan and Jason Sanjay delivers a film that will appeal to none. The story is old fashioned and outdated, and despite grand production values, the film lacks any memorable performances or emotional connection.
