Ninnila Ninnila Review

Synopsis: There is an oddity that 'Ninnila Ninnila' brandishes with so much confidence - to a welcome effect. It helps that the film cuts away to a flashback after the interval....

Check Review

The audience might have told themselves that anything is possible for a chess grandmaster and walked out of the theatre with a 'Two minutes of silence to logic' expression on their faces....

Akshara Review

The cop elevation shots are superfluous. By the time the flashback is over, the audience would be salivating at the prospect of the film coming to an end....

Chakra Review

The film is more obsessed with taking potshots at Digital India and getting sarcastic about Indians ('Nobody buys the Tricolour on August 15 after 4 pm') than about the case at hand....

Naandhi Review

Naandhi's courtroom scenes could have been meaty. There is little hope in the way they play out after a point. It's not convincing that the powerful antagonists commit some extremely stupid mistakes....

Kapatadhaari Review

While the run-time is not too much, the narration is either taxing or too simplistic. The first half's flashback, driven by endless monologic lines, keeps the audience scratching their heads....

Uppena Review

For all the shock value, however, there is nothing haunting about it. Is it because some over-enthusiastic gossip-mongers had ensured that the crux got revealed way before the film's release?...

Zombie Reddy Review

Putting factionists and zombies in the same basket (read village) has to be one of the most novel ideas ever. It goes without saying that dollops of humour to such a tantalizing mix can be massive....

30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela Review

'30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela' gives a pounding headache that can make you forget your yesterday while the lead pair remembers their previous births at the audience's expense....

Bangaru Bullodu Review

In a film where a dozen characters keep moving in and around just a few square meters through and through, our heroine tells the hero that they have covered all locations in the village to have fun....

Alludu Adhurs Review

Director Santosh Srinivas conjures up one too many characters to create a screenplay that is replete with loud characters, crass comedy, elaborate sequences, and pointless songs....

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'....

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....

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....

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....

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....
