2God Father (2022)3.5/5Star: Chiranjeevi,Salman Khan,Nayanthara,Satya Deva,Puri JagannadhThe film, God Father directed by Mohan Raja featuring Chiranjeevi, Nayanthara, Satyadev Kancharana and Bollywood star Salman Khan in a cameo, proves to be a worthy remake. Chiranjeevi embodies the character of Brahma brilliantly and comes up with a charismatic performance. Engaging screenplay, exhilarating background score and neat camera work make this political drama a festive watch. It’s safe to say the boss is back!
3Oke Oka Jeevitham (2022)3.5/5Star: Sharwanand,Ritu Varma,Vennela Kishore,Amala AkkineniA traumatised young musician, along with his two friends, time travels with the help of a maverick scientist to fix things from the past. Did they do it? Watch it for brilliant performances of the cast and crew.

The movie's first half is a runaway hit, and the second half could have been better. Kalyan Ram as Bimbisara was brilliant — probably his best performance to date
5Sita Ramam (2022)3.5/5Star: Dulquer Salmaan,Mrunal Thakur,Rashmika Mandanna,SumanthDulquer and Mrunal breathe life into their characters, something that's needed for a story like this to work
6Virata Parvam (2022)3.5/5Star: Rana Daggubati,Sai Pallavi,Priyamani,Nandita Das,Nivetha Pethuraj,Naveen ChandraVirata Parvam is not the kind of film that’s entertaining in the conventional sense, but it is the kind of film that stays with you.
7Ante Sundaraniki (2022)3.5/5Star: Nani,nazriya nazim,Naresh,Rahul Ramakrishna,Tanvi Ram,Srikanth IyengarIt's hard to nit-pick this fun film filled with relatable characters, lots of laughter and bad ideas

Despite being a routine story with a couple of interesting twists, the film comes across as a true-blue entertainer and works for people who like vintage Ravi Teja movies.
14Masooda (2022)3.0/5Star: Sangitha,Thiruveer,Kavya Kalyanram,Subhalekha Sudhakar,Satyam Rajesh,Satya PrakashDebutant director Sai Kiran and actors Sangitha, Thiruveer do a good job of pulling you into the world of Masooda bi.

16Ginna (2022)3.0/5Star: Vishnu Manchu,Payal Rajput,Sunny Leone,Vennela Kishore,V.K. Naresh,Raghu Babu,Chammak Chandra,Satyam Rajesh,SureshGinna is quite a messy/massy affair that doesn't bother about things like logic, great performances and conviction, as long as it can give its audience a good time and a good laugh. And it manages to do that more than once.
17Ori Devuda (2022)3.0/5Star: Vishwak Sen,Mithila Palkar,Venkatesh Daggubati,Asha Bhat,Rahul RamakrishnaOri Devuda, directed by Ashwath Marimuthu and starring Vishwak Sen, Mithila Palkar, and Asha Bhat, is a relatable rom-com with a touch of fantasy and tries to appeal to your senses.

Kiran Abbavaram makes a difference in this formula-based regular entertainer.
20Aa Ammayi Gurinchi Meeku Cheppali (2022)3.0/5Star: Sudheer Babu,Krithi Shetty,Srinivas Avasarala,Vennela Kishore,Rahul RamakrishnaDespite the flaws, Mohan Krishna Indraganti delivers a sweet film. Sudheer Babu, Krithi Shetty and Srikanth Iyengar aid with their able performances.
