Urvasivo Rakshasivo Review

In our cinema, the boy- or girl-next-door has long become a stock character. For a change, this film strips them of cinematic fluff and presents them as they are....

Banaras Review

Elements like mother sentiment and eve-teasers creeping out the heroine are resorted to. A doting dad, a pointless song on the Internet-era trolling, and such elements don't make any lasting impact....

Thaggedhele Review

When the film is raw, it takes its rawness to the extreme. An ultra-violent block can really make you puke. When the film wants to be light, it takes even its lead man too lightly....

Andaru Bagundali Andulo Nenundali Review

Like a lot of acclaimed Malayalam movies, this film too suffers from pacing issues. The storyline lends itself to building a nice dramedy but the screenplay is lacklustre....

Anukoni Prayanam Review

There are two or three married couples in the movie. In each case, one of the spouses is dead. God knows why personal loss is an ever-present motif in this movie....

Ram Setu Review

If it was built during the Ramayana, it holds a holy value to Hindus and thus can't be destroyed without offending Hindus. That's the background on which the film under review sets up its premise....

Ginna Review

From a bathtub moment to a night-time attack, from a man who gets wowed by the exposed thighs to dead bodies stashed away in refrigerators/cupboards, the film has got all sorts of random ideas....

Sardar Review

We hear of China, Pakistan, the RAW, the Indian Army, poisoning lakes, bottled water leading to terminal illnesses, a future world war revolving around water, and more....

Prince Review

The absurd comedy draws laughs to an extent in the first half. However, in the second half, the comedy wears thin. The climax segment is where 'Prince' again finds its feet....

Ori Devuda Review

'Ori Devuda' tries to narrate its story in a fundamentally sprightly manner. The treatment works for most of the audience....

Ammu Review

'Ammu' has been made in a non-commercial format. The semi-dark frames define its semi-raw sensibilities. It's also welcoming that the film doesn't fall back on lazy options....

Kantara Review

The background of the Bhoota Kola ceremony, which is an annual ritual, has been talked about widely. The film sets up the same with care and conviction....

The Ghost Review

'The Ghost' is a slick actioner. It has many engaging moments. Nagarjuna and Sattaru join forces to give a worthy action-thriller....

God Father Review

It's the sequence of the story that gives this film a rare touch. The interval block is more than a thoroughly enhanced version of what was seen in the original....

Swathimuthyam Review

Swathi Muthyam works for the most part. It's a feel-good outing where entertainment takes precedence over drama....

Ponniyin Selvan 1 Review

The internal dynamics and the non-negotiable elements in the palace would make better sense if you are clued into the plot before going to the movie....

Nene Vasthunna Review

What really afflicts this film is that it doesn't have a compelling narrative. It wants to be a genre-intense psychological thriller now and a generic film disrespecting its base material next....

Babli Bouncer Review

The storyline is flimsy, the situations are egregiously pale, and the climax is as frivolous as it can get. It all goes down south too soon....

Dongalunnaru Jaagratha Review

The people's court portions are hilariously bad. The kind of emotions that 'A Wednesday' (Hindi) elicited in the audience should have been elicited by this film....

Krishna Vrinda Vihari Review

The second half is where the actual story takes place. Much of the drama happens indoors. The conversations between three different characters make for a dramatic watch....
