Vivaha Bhojanambu Review

At 2 hours, 'Vivaha Bhojanambu' knows how not to overcook its broth. The customer is served what is right, what is nutritious, with some minor quibbles about a few side items....

Boomika Review

What works best in 'Boomika' is placing mother earth as the central character and equating her with an autistic child which is nothing short of brilliance. The fact that the earth can take care of...

Kanabadutaledu Review

The film is a part murder mystery and a part detective drama. Even in such a genre, the director thought of smuggling in a song on the importance of avoiding the mobile phone....

Raja Raja Chora Review

Characters struggle to rise in life, find a job, or simply have a peaceful night. As the interval says, the characters have 'Vilapam' and 'Vighatam' but hardly any 'Viramam'....

Paagal Review

The film makes fun of the love stories where the boy and girl talk at the top of their voices. Someone should fun make of 'Paagal' taking a cue from the track....

Netrikann Review

What works best in 'Netrikann' apart from Nayanthara's charisma is the blind protagonist angle which keeps the audience interested as to how she will vanquish the evil villain....

Merise Merise Review

The second most important rule of 'She gets engaged to one but falls in love with another guy' stories is that the good guy must be jobless but supremely talented....

Ippudu Kaaka Inkeppudu Review

What two sexually repressed individuals do with their bodies in their attempt to discover their sexuality is portrayed with respectable sensitivity....

SR Kalyanamandapam Review

The audience waits for the conflict point to be resolved. More than the revival of the glory of the defunct wedding hall, it's also the repairing of relationships that becomes the film's priority....

Navarasa Review

Legendary director Mani Ratnam and Jeyendra have gotten together for 'Navarasa' to help the film industry workers whose livelihoods have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic....

Thittam Irandu Review

The final twenty minutes of the film converges all the loose ends and makes us re-imagine the previous portions. Every dialogue holds a strong feeling and one has to wait till the end to witness the...

Ishq (Not a Love Story) Review

The slow pace sort of tests your patience. But we tend to forgive it because the first act is a decent build-up to an impending catastrophe in the shape of moral policing....

Thimmarusu Review

The telling of the murder from different points of view is another noteworthy ingredient. However, it would have worked better had it not been for the initial minutes of the film....

Sarpatta Parambarai Review

There are several high points in 'Sarpatta Parambarai' to start with its long drawn out boxing sequences that are so authentic that you feel the punch and the pain....

Sarpatta Review

True to his style, the director enriches the second half with a pronounced social commentary. The protagonist gets some solid lines, backed also by a group of well-rounded characters around him....

Narappa Review

The scenes between the father and his two sons are an outstanding feature of the movie. They feel like portions gleaned from a novel (the film is based on a Tamil-language novel)....

Vaazhl Review

Debutante T.J. Banuparvathy Murthy plays Yatramma a complex character with such authority that like Aditi Balan in 'Aruvi' she is not only easily the best performer in the film but also in Tamil...

Jagame Tantram Review

'Jagame Thandhiram' is not a typical gangster flick in so far as it touches upon racial politics and handles the concerns of stateless people with a little bit of empathy....

Jagame Thanthiram Review

What works best in 'Jagame Thandiram' is the first half where Dhanush's antics in Madurai and London hold the interest. The different locales of London are well shot and are a treat to the eyes. The...

Ardha Shathabdham Review

There is the rose flower on the one hand. And there are machetes and knives at the other end of the spectrum. This symbolic contrast should have been brought out in a better way....
