Red Review

The film needed good pacing. The first half is overlong. The second half, despite the investigation tracks and the flashback forming the lion's share, still seems to move slowly....

Master Review

The second half tests your patience with overlong sequences. From routinely done murders to a halting romantic track, the film has everything that is the antithesis of the term 'kutti story'....

Master Review

What works best in 'Master' is undoubtedly the screen presence, charisma and performances of the Thalapathy and the Makkal Selvan and the duo help cover up most of the flaws in the narration....

Krack Review

The family scenes are not just about the wife and son asserting themselves comically in front of the hero. They are also about the wife provoking thought in her sometimes mercurial husband....

Maara Review

With some melting, emotional moments involving Maara and the people he helped redeem themselves, Dilip engages the audience, while extracting fine performances from Madhavan as well as the...

Solo Brathuke So Better Review

'Solo Brathuke So Better' stretches a weird idea way too much. It's immensely forgettable and lacks emotional heft....

Murder Review

With RGV-fied films, the proceedings don't pack a punch if you have watched the trailer of the movie even once. Repeating tropes obsessively is also something these films can be blamed for....

Chiyangal Review

What works best in 'Chiyangal' is the village life including its rawness, emotions and brutality captured well, There are also surprises in characterization such as a rude stepmother killing a...

Dirty Hari Review

The climax gives a high, with something surprising coming from an unlikely character. 'Dirty Hari' is not all dirty, it has emotional heft, after all....

Paava Kadhaigal Review

Overall 'Paava Kadhaigal' is not without its flaws but all the four filmmakers have succeeded in touching the audiences in their unique styles carrying messages that are relevant today and kudos to...

Guvva Gorinka Review

The director wanted to tell a 'Veer Zara'-type story where the lead pair is separated by an LoC. Due to budget issues, they rented a flat at Ameerpet and partitioned the room for good....

IIT Krishnamurthy Review

For a thriller, this one is terribly laidback and relaxed. The titular character is seen more in coffee shops and malls rather than in the key investigation scenes....

Comali Review

The idea of wedding a come-of-age character with a politician's cynical politics should have made for scintillating drama. This film is a colossal wasted opportunity....

Bombhaat Review

The climax, where the hero creates some contraption in nanoseconds, is rushed. There is an action sequence that belongs in the Chittoor Nagaiah era....

Andhaghaaram Review

What works best in 'Andhaghaaram' is the non linear screenplay that also has many layers to it that helps keep one interested for most parts of the film. The integrity of a physically disabled man...

Anaganaga O Athidhi Review

From a lecherous landlord to a liquor shop where a character comes to know of a shocking truth, the film tries to be brief yet effective in relaying to the audience the world of the key characters....

Middle Class Melodies Review

With films like this one, which think they are doing a huge favour by looking laid-back, the biggest issue is not whether there is a gripping story....

Soorarai Pottru Review

Soorarai Pottru is a completely engaging and enjoyable entertainer with many emotionally charged, goosebumps moments. Sudha Kongara's engaging screenplay and the return of the powerhouse performer...

Ammoru Thalli Review

Besides being predictable, the film also gets too lazy. Many jokes don't land and some of them lack nativity. Many jokes don't land and that's a big complaint....

Maa Vintha Gaadha Vinuma Review

What unforeseen problems a young couple faces because of a viral video is the crux. The performances are engaging, the writing shows sparks of originality, but the climax is a cop-out....
