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....

FIR Review

Vishnu Vishal is known for his choice of scripts in different genres that make every film of his unique for his fans. His 'FIR' too follows in the same vein touching the sensitive issue of branding...

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....

Mahaan Review

Mahaan is a worthy gangster thriller to watch that marks the redemption of the effortless and natural actor in Chiyaan Vikram backed by some brilliant performances, strong character sketches,...

Kadaisi Vivasayi Review

Manikandan the director wins big with his original story and in extracting solid performances from the largely amateur cast. Most importantly he creates impact by ending his story on a high note...

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....

Veeramae Vaagai Soodum Review

The title does justice to the movie’s storyline, no problems there; but the making with some interesting subplots could have made Veerama Vaagai Soodum more entertaining....

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....

Bangarraju Review

The film under review was a long time coming. A sequel to the 2016 movie 'Soggade Chinni Nayana', it had to feature Naga Chaitanya as the ultimate legatee and none else....

Enna Solla Pogirai Review

A good movie can brush such facts and bring people back to theatres; however, ESP lacks a lot and gives a very familiar triangular romcom. Ashwin, Teju and Avantika seem to be comfortable in their...

Naai Sekar Review

Naai Sekar ticks all the boxes to be a jolly entertainer. Kishore Rajkumar has delivered a wacky comedy tale with the fantasy idea of a man-dog role reversal. This fantasy comedy movie also serves...

Anbarivu Review

Performances wise the veterans Napoleon, Sai Kumar and Asha Sarath stand tall rising above the cliched characterizations. Hip Hop Aadhi is a much improved actor...

Veyi Subhamulu Kalugu Neeku Review

The performances are strained, and the conversations about the ghost/with the ghost are incredulous. The second half is driven by an outmoded style of telling a formulaic story....

Atithi Devo Bhava Review

Telugu cinema has been usually interested in straightforward, formulaic, multi-genre films. Romantic thrillers are not its cup of tea....

Senapathi Review

It is said that the story derives its premise from Akira Kurosawa's 'Stray Dog' (1949). The script would have looked organic had the contrivances been thought of in a better way....

Arjuna Phalguna Review

Everything is so convenient. 'Arjuna Phalguna', in the hands of a better director, would have been a raw and rustic crime comedy. But that's not the case here....
