Jagame Tantram Review

'Jagame Thandhiram' is not a typical gangster flick in so far as it touches upon racial politics and handles the concerns of stateless people with a little bit of empathy....

Jagame Thanthiram Review

What works best in 'Jagame Thandiram' is the first half where Dhanush's antics in Madurai and London hold the interest. The different locales of London are well shot and are a treat to the eyes. The...

Ardha Shathabdham Review

There is the rose flower on the one hand. And there are machetes and knives at the other end of the spectrum. This symbolic contrast should have been brought out in a better way....

Malaysia to Amnesia Review

What works in 'Malaysia to Amnesia' is that its an easy watch evoking its share of more than a few genuine laughs. Even though the subject is adultery there are no squirmish scenes or sequences...

Anukoni Athidhi Review

The element of hypnotism hasn't been milked cleverly. And we never understand how come the villain is not on his toes until the climax when his days look numbered....

Ek Mini Katha Review

The film's part-family comedy beats keep the viewer engaged, by and large. The comedy quotient goes up in the second half, with a lot of quirky characters populating the script....

Battala Ramaswamy Biopikku Review

Films have always made fun of womanizing babas and polygamous men. This film brings the two sets of cine outcasts together to create a farcical comedy....

Cinema Bandi Review

The small-time charm is impressive but only to a certain degree. The team of the film within the film being oblivious to their surroundings all of a sudden smacks of convenient story-telling....

Thank You Brother Review

The film's run-time is 92 minutes or thereabouts but the length would have been shorter had the characters known how to come to the point in a life-and-death situation....

Shukra Review

Call it a flaw of the sound design or whatever, but the characters suddenly talk in a low voice. There are amateurish camera angles, and repetitive slow-motion shots....

99 Songs Review

The pacing of the story is attuned to the genre. The narrative style is not straightforward, which is again in keeping with the nature of the subject. It's all heavy and dense. ...

Dheyyam Review

The problem with the post-2000s RGV is not that he is overrated. The problem is that he is prolific to boot. This film was made in 2013 or so....

99 Songs Review

What works best in '99 Songs' is first and foremost the story written by ARR that contains heart touching elements of young love, the totally contradictory mother and father sentiments...

11th Hour Review

The drama is overwhelmed also by too many characters. There are as many names for the viewer to remember as there are rooms in the swanky star hotel....

Karnan Review

What works best in 'Karnan' is the director's unrelenting focus on the subject he is handling and going all out to create his vision on screen....

Vakeel Saab Review

The film could have been way better with respect to the flashback episodes in the first half. They are not crucial to the story; they are attuned to the political crusader image of Power Star....

Sulthan Review

The action sequences are fairly good. In the second half, not only does the plot thicken but also the emotions become a roller-coaster ride....

Wild Dog Review

Since no film critic has ever faced such a situation in real life, it can't be said with confidence whether such a question is commonly asked by those facing an existential crisis on the battlefield....

Sulthan Review

What works best in 'Sulthan' is that though the screenplay is predictable the curiosity as to how Karthi will reform the gangsters sustains interest till the very end....

Thellavarithe Guruvaram Review

There was so much potential in terms of creating a flurry of confusion comedy scenes at the wedding in the second half....
