Kapatadhaari Review

While the run-time is not too much, the narration is either taxing or too simplistic. The first half's flashback, driven by endless monologic lines, keeps the audience scratching their heads....

Uppena Review

For all the shock value, however, there is nothing haunting about it. Is it because some over-enthusiastic gossip-mongers had ensured that the crux got revealed way before the film's release?...

Zombie Reddy Review

Putting factionists and zombies in the same basket (read village) has to be one of the most novel ideas ever. It goes without saying that dollops of humour to such a tantalizing mix can be massive....

30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela Review

'30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela' gives a pounding headache that can make you forget your yesterday while the lead pair remembers their previous births at the audience's expense....

Bangaru Bullodu Review

In a film where a dozen characters keep moving in and around just a few square meters through and through, our heroine tells the hero that they have covered all locations in the village to have fun....

Alludu Adhurs Review

Director Santosh Srinivas conjures up one too many characters to create a screenplay that is replete with loud characters, crass comedy, elaborate sequences, and pointless songs....

Red Review

The film needed good pacing. The first half is overlong. The second half, despite the investigation tracks and the flashback forming the lion's share, still seems to move slowly....

Master Review

The second half tests your patience with overlong sequences. From routinely done murders to a halting romantic track, the film has everything that is the antithesis of the term 'kutti story'....

Krack Review

The family scenes are not just about the wife and son asserting themselves comically in front of the hero. They are also about the wife provoking thought in her sometimes mercurial husband....

Solo Brathuke So Better Review

'Solo Brathuke So Better' stretches a weird idea way too much. It's immensely forgettable and lacks emotional heft....

Murder Review

With RGV-fied films, the proceedings don't pack a punch if you have watched the trailer of the movie even once. Repeating tropes obsessively is also something these films can be blamed for....

Dirty Hari Review

The climax gives a high, with something surprising coming from an unlikely character. 'Dirty Hari' is not all dirty, it has emotional heft, after all....

Guvva Gorinka Review

The director wanted to tell a 'Veer Zara'-type story where the lead pair is separated by an LoC. Due to budget issues, they rented a flat at Ameerpet and partitioned the room for good....

IIT Krishnamurthy Review

For a thriller, this one is terribly laidback and relaxed. The titular character is seen more in coffee shops and malls rather than in the key investigation scenes....

Comali Review

The idea of wedding a come-of-age character with a politician's cynical politics should have made for scintillating drama. This film is a colossal wasted opportunity....

Bombhaat Review

The climax, where the hero creates some contraption in nanoseconds, is rushed. There is an action sequence that belongs in the Chittoor Nagaiah era....

Anaganaga O Athidhi Review

From a lecherous landlord to a liquor shop where a character comes to know of a shocking truth, the film tries to be brief yet effective in relaying to the audience the world of the key characters....

Middle Class Melodies Review

With films like this one, which think they are doing a huge favour by looking laid-back, the biggest issue is not whether there is a gripping story....

Ammoru Thalli Review

Besides being predictable, the film also gets too lazy. Many jokes don't land and some of them lack nativity. Many jokes don't land and that's a big complaint....

Maa Vintha Gaadha Vinuma Review

What unforeseen problems a young couple faces because of a viral video is the crux. The performances are engaging, the writing shows sparks of originality, but the climax is a cop-out....
