Ee Maya Peremito Review

While the lead pair strikes a decent enough chemistry (with the lead man looking too lovey-dovey at times), the romance track lacks fizz. The family drama portions come with known tropes....

Saamy Review

The film is built on a wafer thin line. There is nothing exciting after interval, with the much-dreaded money laundering villain reduced to screaming (sometimes louder than the hero)....

Nannu Dochukunduvate Review

All the while, the hero's grumpiness does seem inexplicable, though. It would have helped had his characterization been done prudently...

U Turn Review

Given the emotional nature of the conflict, it would have helped to have a profound song in the climax. Rather, the film does away with songs in toto....

Shailaja Reddy Alludu Review

The film subsumes everything from righteous anger to self-respect under the umbrella term "Ego". Telugu films have this habit of misunderstanding whole terms and their meanings....

Manu Review

At about 180 minutes long, the murder mystery with surreal elements can be a test. The proceedings might seem very slow to you if you are a votary of regular commercial films....

Silly Fellows Review

The script has too many convenient turn of events. The comedy is almost entirely slapstick, and even a song comes with Tamil nativity....

C/o Kancharapalem Review

After a point, the dialogues acquire cinematic glamour. They lose their innocence and if the audience fails to see through it, it's because the film starts pandering to our tastes....

Paper Boy Review

Most Tollywood filmmakers are incapable of pulling off depressing mood in the right way. This comes as second nature to Tamil directors....

Narthanasala Review

From misleading character intros to low-end dialogues, half-hearted messaging and lousy technical output, 'Nartanasala' is everything and more....

Lakshmi Review

The kids on the hero's side are virtuous, they endure adversity with a smile on their faces, in unison and with practiced ease. The antagonistic kids are cunning like consummate villains....

Neevevaro Review

The ostentatious ambience, the ease with which the blind hero achieves perfection, the way this high-thinking guy falls in love so easily - these are either superficial or unconvincing or both....

Jhansi Review

Critically-acclaimed director Bala comes unarmed with a weak storyline.  Like Pa. Ranjith ('Kabali' and 'Kaala' director), he too seems to believe that intentions are enough to see a film...

Geetha Govindam Review

Very few films strike a sagacious balance between caricature and earnestness. 'Geetha Govindam' is one of those rare ones....

Vishwaroopam 2 Review

Where most filmmakers are in-your-face and loud about conveying a social or political point, writer-director Kamal believes in doing it with calmness....

Srinivasa Kalyanam Review

Isn't the film about relations? No, it's about the starting point of all relations: Wedding. Every lecture, every point of view, every character exists to showcase wedding as a lifetime event....

Chi La Sow Review

Yes, in a love story, hero-heroine union is always (almost) a done deal. But then, the director here goes the extra mile in making the audience know that it's a done deal. To what end?...

Goodachari Review

'Goodachari' has the right mix: underplayed heroism, saleable emotions, thrilling twists, technical finesse, clap-worthy dialogue. Besides, it has got some of the coolest performances....

Brand Babu Review

An attempt to narrate a rich boy-meets-poor girl story goes haywire, thanks to a lame comedy of errors and a bloodless class war, Maruthi-style. Asinine dialogues mar the proceedings....

Happy Wedding Review

'Happy Wedding' is a mixture of some atypical moments, spells of monotony and well-carved characters. If you enjoy character-driven story-telling and mindset-based dialogues, this film is for you....
