Thaen Review

Short synopsis: Thaen is a unique, hard-hitting entertainer that will hit you hard with its lifelike characters and their plight, and the question it raises. Supported by Tharun Kumar and Abarnathi...

Mosagallu Review

The story-telling smacks of old-fashioned ideas. The pre-title sequence tells the childhood story of the siblings, the future scammers, in a spoon-feeding sort of manner....

Chaavu Kaburu Challaga Review

'Chaavu Kaburu Challaga' is a watchable film where heavy-duty emotionalism is restricted to the final moments....

Love Life & Pakodi Review

In 'Love Life & Pakodi', life is all about relationship talks and love is more about no-hold-barred indulgences. As for Pakodi, it's a mere 'pakodi' in a broth. Nothing much to be worried about....

Gaali Sampath Review

The film falls apart in terms of writing right from the word go. The father-son duo's equations are sketchy. So, the audience fails to connect with their universe....

Sreekaram Review

It knows how to etch the right situations, be it in the family or in the fields. That's why it is the movie that was needed during the farmers' protests across the country....

Jathi Ratnalu Review

'Jathi Ratnalu', which has a host of oddball characters in the story, works as a commentary on the wisdom (or the lack of it) of the pop culture as well as the mainstream media....

A (Ad Infinitum) Review

'A (Ad Infinitum)' is a slow burn thriller where science is an important element. There is also a political movement involved. It's a crime film and a semi-period drama, too....

Nenjam Marappathillai Review

Despite these shortcomings and the rushed, bizarre climax episode, Nenjam Marapathillai is largely entertaining thanks to Ramsay who's given life by SJ Suryah who reminds of vintage Sivaji Ganesan...

Climax Review

It's stunning that a thriller that has got idiots passing for investigators has the gall to comment adversely on an Epic. But then, this is Tollywood....

Shaadi Mubarak Review

'Shaadi Mubarak' comes with loads of situational humour while being relatable at a level. The film tells a somewhat cliche-ridden story with large doses of healthy comedy....

A1 Express Review

The last act is about a hockey match that is a question of survival for the hero's side. It's a well-made segment that is enriched by emotions....

Anbirkiniyal Review

What works best in 'Anbirkiniyaal' is the entire second half which alternates between the freezer room where Keerthy uses every ounce of strength to survive and the father and lover searching for...

Ninnila Ninnila Review

Synopsis: There is an oddity that 'Ninnila Ninnila' brandishes with so much confidence - to a welcome effect. It helps that the film cuts away to a flashback after the interval....

Check Review

The audience might have told themselves that anything is possible for a chess grandmaster and walked out of the theatre with a 'Two minutes of silence to logic' expression on their faces....

Akshara Review

The cop elevation shots are superfluous. By the time the flashback is over, the audience would be salivating at the prospect of the film coming to an end....

Drishyam 2 Review

Jeethu Joseph beautifully shows the cleverness and vision of George, and lets Mohanlal come out in style, and full of swag in a subtle way as always. As the mystery unravels in the second half, the...

Chakra Review

The film is more obsessed with taking potshots at Digital India and getting sarcastic about Indians ('Nobody buys the Tricolour on August 15 after 4 pm') than about the case at hand....

Chakra Review

Chakra turns out to be a thrilling entertainer with gripping sequences. All said, MS Anandan engaging screenplay powered by macho hero Vishal and surprise package Regina Cassandra's performance...

Naandhi Review

Naandhi's courtroom scenes could have been meaty. There is little hope in the way they play out after a point. It's not convincing that the powerful antagonists commit some extremely stupid mistakes....
