Court bans online reviews for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu movie

In a first-of-its-kind move in the Telugu Film Industry, online ratings and reviews for the upcoming film Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu have been restricted following court orders. The decision was taken to curb organised negative campaigns and malicious rating practices on ticketing and review platforms. As per the order, major platforms have disabled the ratings and reviews section for the film ahead of its release.

The film, produced by Shine Screens Cinema and set to release on January 12, 2026, has already generated significant buzz among audiences. Industry circles see this development as a landmark step aimed at ensuring fair audience perception and preventing deliberate attempts to influence a film’s reception through coordinated online negativity.
