Objection My Lord is a Telugu web series starring Srikanth in the lead role. This Objection My Lord review covers the legal thriller currently streaming on ZEE5. The series follows an underdog lawyer fighting for justice in a kidnapping case.

Story

Narayana (Rayala Harishchandra) commits suicide within the court premises after no one responds when he reports his daughter Sameera’s kidnapping. Advocate Parashuram (Srikanth), who has not stepped inside the court for two decades, files a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) and takes up Sameera’s case. The story revolves around whether Parashuram wins the case, what happened to Sameera, and how Vedha (Ananya Sharma), a junior lawyer, helps him.

Performances

Srikanth delivers a committed performance as an underdog character who rises when grave injustice happens. He does full justice to this role. Sameer, Gemini Suresh, and others are appropriate in their parts.

Ananya Sharma is good as the assistant lawyer and leaves a positive impression. Mukesh Rishi is alright in the regular role of a high-profile lawyer, while Rayala Harishchandra and Snehal Kamath lend depth to their characters and proceedings.

Analysis

Directed by Santhosh Ayyappan, Objection My Lord is an official remake of Sattamum Needhiyum, a Tamil web series also streaming on ZEE5. The core premise is familiar — an underdog lawyer taking on an unexpected case that becomes a sensation. This template has been explored multiple times.

The screenplay follows a regular pattern, but what works is the emotional tone, which becomes more impactful as the backstory progresses. The way the entire emotion around Narayana and Sameera’s bond is built, and the ending pay-off, is impressive.

Though there is a routine feel, a couple of moments stand out where protagonist Parashuram surprises his opponents and viewers with sharp thinking. Similar web series like Vikkatakavi have shown how Telugu OTT platforms are embracing investigative narratives.

Towards the end, the series conveys a meaningful social message about an ever-existing problem.

But scenes involving the protagonist’s family do not land effectively. The dynamic between Parashuram and his son is very ordinarily handled, making the final pay-off impactless. Telugu audiences familiar with courtroom dramas from other recent web series may find the family subplot lacking.

Positives

  • Emotional Scenes
  • Few Well-Written Moments of Hero Fighting Back
  • Srikanth’s Performance

Negatives

  • Template-Driven Narrative
  • Predictable Twists or Turns
  • The buildup to the final reveal could have been better

Objection My Lord Review and Verdict

While it follows a formulaic narrative, Objection My Lord stands out as a decent legal thriller, helped by Srikanth’s sincere performance, poignant emotional beats, and several standout sequences.

Mega Power Star Ram Charan digitally launched the trailer of Korean Kanakaraju today, marking an exciting comeback for Varun Tej. Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, this Korean Kanakaraju comedy horror thriller has been building buzz since its announcement earlier this year, and the trailer confirms the film’s unique blend of action, horror, and comedy.

Trailer Showcases Dual Shades of Varun Tej

The trailer dives deeper into the film’s core concept: an ordinary man named Kanakaraju who becomes possessed by a Korean ghost with whom he has no prior connection. Varun Tej showcases impressive acting range through two contrasting shades, delivering both the vulnerability of Kanakaraju and the intensity of the possessed character. The cross-cultural horror comedy premise, executed by director Merlapaka Gandhi, brings fresh energy to Telugu cinema.

Actress Rithika Nayak looks captivating and appears to play a pivotal role in the narrative. Comedians Satya and Bulliraju Revanth bring solid humor to balance the horror elements, while the trailer’s final moments tease two spirits, hinting at the film’s true comedy-horror thriller potential.

Thaman’s Score and Production Values

S. Thaman’s background score elevates the trailer, adding intensity to the horror sequences and energy to the action moments. Produced by UV Creations and First Frame Entertainment, the film showcases top-notch production values throughout.

At the trailer launch event, Varun Tej shared that he learned Korean dialogues for the role, demonstrating his commitment to authenticity in this Indo-Korean collaboration.

Korean Kanakaraju releases worldwide on August 7th, promising audiences an entertaining blend of horror, comedy, and action.

Rashmika Mandanna Suffers Hip Injury; 6 Weeks Rest Advised

National crush Rashmika Mandanna has reportedly sustained a serious hip injury while filming an intense dance sequence, forcing production to halt on her upcoming projects. According to industry reports, the actress suffered a complete hip tendon detachment and has been advised to undergo six weeks of complete rest and rehabilitation. However, neither Rashmika Mandanna nor her team has officially confirmed the reports.

Severity of the Injury

The injury is said to have resulted from the physically demanding action and dance sequences the actress has been performing across her multiple film commitments. Medical experts are reportedly surprised by the severity of the tendon damage, as such injuries are more commonly associated with high-performance athletes rather than film actors. The complete tendon detachment requires a structured rehabilitation program to ensure proper healing before she can return to her demanding shoot schedules.

Impact on Upcoming Films

The reported injury has significantly affected the production schedules of Rashmika Mandanna’s upcoming films. Both Mysaa, a female-centric tribal action drama directed by Rawindra Pulle, and Ranabaali, a period drama co-starring Vijay Deverakonda, have paused filming until the actress recovers. Mysaa was scheduled for a March 2026 release, while Ranabaali is slated for September 2026.

Rashmika’s Packed 2026 Lineup

This setback comes at a crucial time in the actress’s career, as 2026 marks one of her busiest years with multiple high-profile releases lined up. Apart from Mysaa and Ranabaali, she is also committed to Sikandar opposite Salman Khan, Cocktail 2 with Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, and other Telugu projects. Earlier this year, Rashmika was spotted in a wheelchair at the airport, raising concerns about her health. The temporary halt in production could potentially impact the carefully planned release schedules across multiple industries.

Industry and Fan Response

Fans have flooded social media platforms with messages wishing the actress a speedy recovery. The Telugu film industry, which has seen several on-set injuries in recent months, awaits an official statement from Rashmika Mandanna’s team regarding her health status and revised shooting schedules for the affected projects.

A heartwarming gesture by Rajinikanth has captured the attention of fans and the film industry alike. The superstar, currently working with actress Raashi Khanna on Mari Selvaraj’s upcoming film Dharman, reportedly gifted her a spiritual book following a meaningful conversation on set.

A Gesture Born from Spiritual Discussion

During the filming of Dharman, Rajinikanth and Raashi Khanna bonded over a conversation about spirituality. The veteran actor recommended the acclaimed book Living with the Himalayan Masters by Swami Rama—a spiritual autobiography that chronicles the author’s experiences with yoga masters across the Himalayas. When Rajinikanth learned that Raashi Khanna had never read it, he decided to share this transformative work with his co-star.

According to reports, just two days after their conversation, Rajinikanth personally gifted Raashi Khanna a copy of the book. The unexpected and thoughtful gesture left the actress delighted and has since become a talking point among fans on social media.

More Than Just a Book

Rajinikanth has often spoken publicly about how spirituality has shaped his life and career. Living with the Himalayan Masters is considered one of the foundational texts that influenced his spiritual journey. By sharing this book with Raashi Khanna, the superstar offered more than a gift—he extended a piece of wisdom that has guided him through decades in the film industry.

The touching anecdote has reinforced Rajinikanth’s reputation for humility and generosity off-screen, qualities that have endeared him to millions beyond his on-screen performances. It has also added to the growing excitement surrounding Dharman, one of the most anticipated Tamil films currently in production.

Raashi Khanna, known for her performances in films like Rudramadevi, Tholi Prema, and Sardar, continues to expand her presence across South Indian cinema. Working alongside Rajinikanth in a Mari Selvaraj directorial marks a significant milestone in her career.

Jana Nayagan Screenings Halted in Karnataka Amid Protests

Vijay’s much-awaited political drama Jana Nayagan has reportedly run into unexpected trouble in Karnataka. According to the latest reports, screenings of the film have been halted in parts of the state amid renewed tensions over the Cauvery water dispute. The development comes as protests by certain Kannada activist groups have intensified, putting the film’s theatrical run in the region under uncertainty.

CM Visit Sparks Controversy

The reports also suggest that the unrest is linked to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay’s proposed visit to Bengaluru on August 3, which has drawn opposition from some Kannada organizations. As a result, demonstrations have reportedly affected the screening of Jana Nayagan in Karnataka, making it the latest film to be caught in the crossfire of a long-standing interstate issue.

However, neither the makers of Jana Nayagan nor the Karnataka theatre associations have issued an official statement regarding the reported suspension of screenings. It also remains unclear whether the disruption is limited to select theatres or has affected the entire state. Fans are now awaiting further clarity as the situation continues to unfold.
