Cheppave Chirugali Review

Life's eternal truisms can be baffling. How can one's strength end up as one's weakness? It can. You get an insight into this when you see Vikraman-directed Cheppave Chirugali. Human emotions and...

Sye Review

Sporting games are just that in most Indian films ---they are hardly given any importance. There are occasional exceptions --- Hip, Hip Hurray, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikkander and Lagaan. Even in Okkadu,...

Gajendra Review

Gajendra is a bad remake of the successful Telugu film Simhadri. The film obviously has lots of loaded dialogues against his political detractors, which will go down well with his fans. Vijaykanth...

Pothuraju Review

This remake of Tamil original "Veerumandi" is yet another feather in pioneering star Kamal Haasan's cap. The veteran and versatile actor comes up with a brilliant performance as a ruffian...

Arasaktchi Review

Arasaktchi is a routine story of a youth seeking vendetta against the corrupt lawyers . The storyline is interesting but the manner in which the vendetta takes place spoils the film. Inspired from...

Ek Se Badhkar Ek Review

We should seriously question why comedy has come to such a sorry state in our cinema. To Kundan Shah goes the credit for directing "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron", one of the brightest situational...

Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa Review

Let's get one thing clear right away. "Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa" isn't a bad film. It's a boring film. And that's worse than being bad. In the absence of a gripping plot, cohesive narration...

Gudumba Shankar Review

Chellame Review

All credits go to director Ar Gandhi Krishna for coming out with the movie Chellamae which is not only racy but also entertaining. Even without any big names in the cast, Gandhi Krishna has...

Madyahnapu Hatya Review

Ram Gopal Varma is a unique director in the annals of Indian film history. He has his own idiom and grammar to filmmaking. His avowed intention of making a movie is to satisfy himself. Fine if the...

Rakht Review

Natturajavu Review

"Natturajavu", megastar Mohanlal's Onam gift to his fans, is disappointing. When he teamed up with director Shaji Kailas, expectations had touched the sky. The duo produced one of the...

Kudaikul Mazhai Review

Parthiban is known for trying out innovative things in all his films.  His latest Kudaikul Mazhai is no different. In this film, he has dwelt on a story line, which others would not dare....

143 (I Miss You) Review

Just a scary thought: Suppose there is a law that no film in India should be made with love theme, what will happen? Quite simply, almost all the filmmakers would go out of business. Puri Jagan...

Madurey Review

Madhesh in his first directorial venture has made up his mind that Vijay's stardom would do the trick for the non-existence of an original storyline. The film has Vijay in every frame putting all...
