Maguvalu Matrame Review

Holidaying is often showcased as an elixir. This film falls back on the formulaic trope and yet it doesn't succumb to the temptation of its low-hanging fruits....

V Review

V could have worked with a better, racy screenplay with engaging moments but falls due to the lack of it, only to made partially watchable by the sincere efforts of Nani alone....

V Review

Whenever there is a serial killer who has to be portrayed as a psychotic character, our filmmakers toy with a few formulaic beats. Like making him deliver evil laughter and all....

Lock Up Review

SG Charles could have made a better debut, had he focused on the screenplay and added several interesting investigation episodes, and ultimately Lock-up ends as a mediocre whodunit thriller that...

Johaar Review

Since most of the Telugu films don't deal with human stories, this film deserves a pat on its back for trying something new. However, the narration is inadequate and superficial....

Trance Review

More than a thriller, it has to be seen as the biopic of a small-town guy throwing morals to the winds in becoming a sensation by hook or crook, only to lose himself in the melee that follows....

Forensic Review

Forensic is a Malayalam film released on 28th February, 2020 in Kerala and other parts of the World. The movie received high appreciation in the original language and it seemed to be highly relevant...

Umamaheswara Ugraroopasya Review

By the time "revenge" is mounted, the film convinces the audience that the lead man's priorities are different. It takes just a one-line sermon from a dear one for him to recoup his inner strength....

Parannajeevi Review

Scene after scene, it tells the same narrative: that RGV sexually exploits women in the name of film offers, that he is arrogant, that he develops scripts on the fly, that he is unprofessional....

Power Star Review

'Power Star' infuses lazy political commentary that is ineffective for the most part. Expect no political or intellectual insights. Expect no satire but for the climax....

100 Review

'100' is a formula-driven vigilante cop drama with a twist. It barely makes us root for its characters. With its pedestrian action sequences, it makes the experience all the more tiresome....

Balloon Review

In 'Balloon', the characters try to be funny and chilling inducing neither laughter nor scares. At 133 minutes, this is one overlong film that takes the viewer for a ride....

Bhanumathi & Ramakrishna Review

'Bhanumati Ramakrishna' makes for a decent watch. This is a convincing love story, by and large. True-to-life conversations and character arcs are a plus. But the rushed climax, and simplistic...

47 Days Review

This is an underdeveloped thriller with a fragile investigation track. The action moments in the climax are a cop-out. There are twists but they hardly excite even if your bar for thrillers is low....

Shylock Review

Savage villains are so unprepared that, even when they face an existential crisis, they are hardly six in number. No goons and no fighters, probably because junior artists had gone on a holiday....

Naked Nanga Nagnam Review

With no emotional arc and even a respectable run-time, 'Naked' is a colossal dud. It's one-note and voyeuristic. RGV hard-sells unmitigated cheap stuff. His emptiness is naked....

Krishna and His Leela Review

Krishna and his Leela movie suddenly got released on Netflix, without any intimation. The movie trailers were released recently and promotions of the film were happening at a leisurely pace....

Penguin Review

Policemen in 'Penguin' have as much say in the story as Swamy Nithyananda's Kailasa Island has in the ongoing Indo-China tensions. They are worse than jokers....

Penguin Review

Penguin could have been a much better product with some better writing, gripping screenplay and some interesting scenes, and now ends as a predictable watch with Keerthy Suresh's acting as the....

Gulabo Sitabo Review

A film like Gulabho Sitabho, if released under normal circumstances would have been highly criticised by audiences who watched it at the theatres. Because the story doesn't just move at all even...
