First Day First Show Review

The beats of 'FDFS' remind us of 'Jathi Ratnalu' in the wrong ways. The male protagonist is a dullard, much like Naveen Polishetty's character....

Bujji Ila Raa Review

'Bujji Ila Raa' is a below-average psychological thriller with lame crime elements and a back story that tests the audience's patience. Watch it at your own peril!...

Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga Review

To put it mildly, the film doesn't have a coherent second half. Filler scenes have been used to somehow make it a 65-minute-long stretch. The climax is stuffed with stale ingredients....

Panchatantra Kathalu Review

'Panchatantra Kathalu', an anthology feature, is currently streaming on Aha. In this section, we are going to review the latest Telugu-language OTT release....

Cobra Review

'Cobra' is engaging in some respects. The first act is clear-cut, although the attempt at creating more-than-usual suspense can be seen through....

Kalapuram Review

'Kalapuram' had the potential to be a crackpot comedy with a touch of crime and behind-the-scenes manipulations. But it wastes its base material thoroughly....

Liger Review

It starts off well. After a point, though, the film fails to manifest any fine aspects. The absence of an exciting story around the hero-heroine duo, much less the martial-arts mentor, is glaring....

Thiru Review

The narration builds the tension between the three men in the family to a decently good extent. But the pay-off is not satisfactory....

Highway Review

At less than 120 minutes, 'Highway' cries for believable plotting. The investigation track is laughable. The production values are sub-par....

Karthikeya 2 Review

If the film continues to hold attention, it is because of the world-building, the mystical quality of the plot, and the technical elements....

Laal Singh Chaddha Review

The randomness and novel-like features of the original have been zealously retained as if Indians are dying to watch such stories where lack of depth is passed off for feel-good dialogues....

Macherla Niyojakavargam Review

Debutant director MS Rajasekhar Reddy seems to have written the story with the sole aim of creating forced situations for non-stop fights....

Sita Ramam Review

'Sita Ramam' is a fab story where events hang by a thread and keep the audience engaged without making the tension take a toll. It makes for a riveting watch!...

Bimbisara Review

It mixes elements as diverse as redemption, expansionism, virtue vs vice, time-travel fantasy, and beyond. The visuals and writing make the mark....

The Legend Review

In the film, too, Saravanan walks and walks, but he also fights, smiles, romances, serenades, and pontificates....

Ramarao On Duty Review

To the director's credit, he doesn't fill the film with action blocks. The film turns into an investigation action thriller, especially in the second half....

Vikrant Rona Review

This film clearly needed substance over style, especially in the second half. Much as mystique and swag are sought to be built around Vikrant Rona, the writing fails to make the grade....

The Gray Man Review

This adaptation of Mark Greaney's 2009 novel by the same name could have been so much better. It is watchable for its action scenes and performances....

Thank You Review

One would have expected the narration in the final act to be more compact and involved. For some reason, the proceedings are wrapped up in a hurry....

Gargi Review

Though there are no contrived segments in the legal drama and the pacing is largely proper, somehow it doesn't manage to engage the audience throughout....
