Alluri Review

The track involving Maoists and him is a case in point. The film is aware of the debates around human rights and civil rights activism....

The Life of Muthu Review

This dubbed version of the Tamil movie 'Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu' has been variously described as a gangster origin film, a drama and whatnot....

Saakini Daakini Review

When they indulge in a catfight, it doesn't occur to them that they are a menace while being in a department that has to punish menacing forces....

Aa Ammayi Gurinchi Meeku Cheppali Review

One can't say the film gets every major segment right. But it is at least not as off-the-mark as Indraganti's previous film, 'V', was....

Nenu Meeku Baaga Kavalsinavaadini Review

We will say this much: When you over-indulge a flashback you know is pointless, you are excessive beyond redemption....

Captain Review

Now coming to the minotaur, which is the name the alien creature is given. It looks like a giant-sized spider. Not-so-great VFX drags down the impact of this experiment....

Brahmastra Review

While watching a lot of American superhero movies, we throw logic to the winds. 'Brahmastra', too, demands the same. But there are moments where we have to stretch the credibility to the maximum....

Oke Oka Jeevitham Review

The sci-fi genre has been shown without resorting to cheap gimmicks. The flights of fantasy may not have been depicted perfectly, but you don't complain much when the payoff is strong....

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....
