Red Alert Review

With a title like 'Red Alert', one would expect an edge-of-the-seat thriller.  This multi-lingual film, directed by Chandra Mahesh, throws up some such scenes.  But, overall, it is...

Tripura Review

Sher Review

High on the success of 'Pataas', Kalyan Ram returns with an action-comedy whose outmoded story line tilts in favour of a Kona Venkat spin.  The hero is actually a 'sher', but a...

Columbus Review

When was the last time you heard a major character say to an important character, "Naa meeda promise vesi cheppu", that too at an as important a stage as the climax?  If you can't...

Kanche Review

The very title 'Kanche' sounds quite literary.  It's not quite often that a Telugu film title sounds literary or comes with an allegorical connotation, unlike in Kollywood. ...

Raju Gari Gadhi Review

For a film with an appealing title like this, the narration as done by Omkar (of TV shows fame) is nothing less of a surprise.  With a bunch of comedy faces, he delivers goods.  What is...

Bruce Lee Review

'Bruce Lee' has traces of 'Aagadu' and 'Dookudu' if one goes beyond scratching the surface.  If the villain has a womanising side to him (like a negative character in &...

Rudhramadevi Review

Chandrika Review

'Chandrika' reminds one of 'Chandramukhi' more often than it would have had it been directed by someone with no 'Chandramukhi' hangover.  The male lead is a celebrated...

Subramanyam For Sale Review

A hero who wears his calcuated nature on his sleeves, a heroine who elopes to marry a morally depraved character, a cliched set-up in America - all this is easily not a premise worth attention.; ...

Mayuri Review

Months after 'Chandrakala' starring Hansika Motwani, here we have another spooky affair straight from Kollywood.  There is a difference in the genre thought.  At a time when some...

Ketugadu Review

A hero who lifts costly things and makes a luxurious living is a familiar character in Indian cinema.  Such a hero becoming a saviour of the damsel in distress, too, is a familiar premise.; ...

Courier Boy Kalyan Review

With the makers strongly claiming that the story of 'CBK' is one-of-its-kind, the audience probably did not doubt their wisdom given the fact that Gautham Menon is associated with this film....
