KJQ: King Jackie Queen (కేజేక్యూ: కింగ్ జాకీ క్వీన్) is a 2026 Telugu crime drama directed by KK (Kiran Kumar Meenuga) and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under SLV Cinemas. It was the last film of the director, who died before its release. Dheekshith Shetty, Shashi Odela and Yukti Thareja play the three leads, and Poornachandra Tejaswi composed the music. KJQ released in theatres on 7 August 2026.
What the story is about
The film follows two boys who lean on each other through a troubled childhood and grow up into the world of crime: Partha becomes a gangster hungry for power, and Jackie becomes the friend who will do anything to secure it for him. Between them is Bhargavi, an actress haunted by her past choices, whom both men are drawn to. Told in chapters from each of the three characters’ points of view, it is a love triangle and a story of friends turning into rivals (The Hindu).

Release and reception
KJQ opened on 7 August 2026. Our record lists a running time of 110 minutes. The Hindu praised Dheekshith Shetty’s performance but felt the crime saga squandered its potential, noting that its ending leans heavily on Mani Ratnam’s Nayakan. NTV rated it 2.25/5.
