Awe Review

The dialogues are unperturbed by the heaviness of the pivot. They play out as if it's business as usual. If many scenes seem to overstay their welcome, it's because they lack profundity....

Tholi Prema Review

Compared to 'Fidaa', the pain point that drives a gulf between the lead characters is certainly stronger here. This is not to say that 'TP' outshines 'Fidaa', overall....

Gayatri Review

This is a melancholic storyline in itself. There may also be an allegorical meaning to the fact that Gayatri Patel looks just like Shivaji....

Intelligent Review

The climax comes all of a sudden and before you have moved from 1990s to present day, the hero pumps dozens of bullets into whoever he can....

Howrah Bridge Review

If we scratch the proceedings a bit, it becomes clear that this is the story of a double-timing character who behaves like a split personality. Or, maybe, she is just a confused nincompoop....

Touch Chesi Chudu Review

Every powerful villain in the film seems to be condemned to take either 'gaalis' or bullets from the hero. In another incredibly 'Dry Fruit' moment, our ACP hero calls the Home Minister 'Verri...

Chalo Review

You go to watch a film whose premise is palpably weird, only to find out that it's neither the rivalry between Telugus and Tamils, nor the love story that's the film's forte....

Bhaagamathie Review

If Anushka doing a recce of the Bhaagamathie bungalow night after night, putting up a semi-shocked expression on her neat face, can scare you, this is your kind of horror stuff....

Padmavat Review

A Premiere show of 'Padmaavat' (Telugu) was arranged by the makers on Tuesday. Here is our review of the much-awaited, controversial drama....

Rangula Ratnam Review

Stock ideas litter the length and breadth of this farce of a show-reel. The conversations between the mother-son duo smack of ordinariness or unnecessary drama....

Gang Review

The way the gang members raise the bar with their underdog sentiment is sure to tick. With an interesting plot, the director shuttles between little family sentiments, too....

Jai Simha Review

Director KS Ravikumar wanted to show Narasimha as one thing: As the one who fights injustice for good. So, before the eighth minute, the film presents not one or two but three instances of....

Agnyaathavasi Review

The director is very convinced that his is a wafer-thin story line. And so, he stuffs scene after scene with quirkiness (euphemism is entertainment). Not that idiosyncrasies are unwelcome....

2 Countries Review

Sunil once again steps into the shoes of a joker with a heart. And you know the consequences when he does that. It's a heady mix of the 'Maryada Ramanna' and 'Poola Rangadu' hangovers....

Okka Kshanam Review

The story does well to pit destiny against will. While it's predictable that the hero would choose to script his own success story, how he does is the crux of the second half....

Hello Review

Had Bob Brown's action choreography been placed in a credible and logical context, the building-hopping and high-end chases would have looked all the more special and breathtaking....

MCA Review

Every time he is confronted with an opponent, Shiva wonders if he can shoot himself were it to bear any fruits. This quirk becomes a game-changer in the climax....

Malli Raava Review

It's not often that we get to see stories weaved around life's tragedies or accidents and how they affect our behaviour. 'Malli Raava' comes effectively with such a point....

Saptagiri LLB Review

Whenever it's the rom-com track, the flow suffers rather badly. For all the richness of the duets, it's hard to bargain the comedian Saptagiri for the romantic Saptagiri....

Jawaan Review

In his attempt at showing the whole fight as the hero's and the hero's alone, BVS Ravi takes too many cinematic liberties. National security has been treated as a joke and it's glaring!...
