Stand Up Rahul Review

By and by, the overdone character-based comedy dilutes the impact. Much as the film seems to think that live-in relationship is some first-time concept in movies, sorry to break it to the film....

The Kashmir Files Review

The interplay of the separatist network, the info war, the mendacious victimhood narrative, and international media has been spoken of in the film....

Maaran Review

In the second half, after the film starts introducing one or two supposed high points, the visual grammar, the performances, and technical aspects join hands to pull down our interest, if any left....

Radhe Shyam Review

The second half is more even in terms of building a certain mood. The splendor of lead performances, however, doesn't inform the overall flavor....

ET (Evariki Thalavanchadu) Review

Light scenes are intercut and we see gory frames of a woman getting brutalized somewhere. Everything is unsettling in the first half....

Aadavaallu Meeku Johaarlu Review

This film has come just when family audiences have started coming to theatres. If the 'word of mouth' is positive, there is no stopping it for the next one week....

Sebastian PC 524 Review

There are references to the Gita and the Bible. There is a love story that was cut short. There are elements like betrayal and the clinical execution of a crime. The script is really layered....

Hey Sinamika Review

The situations are contrived when they are not downright ridiculous. Nothing keeps us invested in the flaws of the lead characters. The climax is predictable....

Bheemla Nayak Review

Glorious performance by Pawan Kalyan, a rousing background score by Thaman, excellent visuals, and Trivikram's writing are its stand-out features....

Valimai Review

We don't feel that he has the hopes of lakhs of people riding on him. A consignment worth Rs 3000 Cr is stashed away and we don't feel the stakes are high....

FIR Review

What works best in 'FIR' is the last half hour when the film is brief and effective. It is heartening to see four female characters getting impactful scope in the screenplay....

DJ Tillu Review

Most crime comedies struggle to achieve the status of a medium-range film. 'DJ Tillu' didn't have to. Like last year's 'Jathi Ratnalu', it made a grand announcement with its trailer....

Khiladi Review

There are one too many dark characters who want to outwit him. But they are always going to fail in the game. It's because Mohan Gandhi is always a step ahead of them....

Bhama Kalapam Review

The story of 'Bhama Kalapam', which has been directed by Abhimanyu Tadimeti, unfolds over a span of two days. Its characters implement lessons they have learned over a lifetime....

Malli Modalaindi Review

The dialogues are well-written in some stretches. Terms like 'emotionally needy' and 'emotionally self-sufficient' are used to describe the characters' state of mind....

Samanyudu Review

How the common man is impotent in the face of influential people is a theme the film tries to exploit well. But there is nothing heart-touching in the way the scenes play out....

Good Luck Sakhi Review

Writer-director Nagesh Kukurnoor has made his Telugu debut more than 20 years after debuting as a parallel filmmaker. He has made a film that can work only in the parallel universe....

The American Dream Review

'The American Dream' is not a feel-good rom-com or an escapist entertainer. It's a thriller. A lot of the scenes that unfold after the first half an hour feel well-written in retrospect....

Hero Review

The director had hinted in a pre-release interview that 'Hero' has traces of dark comedy. This one is more of a crime comedy where the co-incidences tickle the funny bone....

Rowdy Boys Review

There is a ragging scene, there is a party song, there are friends of the male lead who are funny, there are friends of the female lead who lend a shoulder to cry on. 'Rowdy Boys' has them all....
