F2 Review

'F2' has a superb first half that will have you laughing throughout. The second half too is entertaining but some flaws and cliches rob it of unalloyed zing. A thoroughgoing family entertainer for...

Petta Review

Director Karthik Subbaraj makes the movie to demonstrate the process of Rajini-ization. Rajini is known for many things but he can also pull off peculiar tasks that border on the bizarre....

Vinaya Vidheya Rama Review

There was a time when our heroes used to be satisfied with daring MLAs and Ministers. Slowly, their antagonists started to be CM aspirants and even CMs. Boyapati goes a step ahead in this film....

NTR Kathanayakudu Review

Director Krish's narration, at times, reminds the audience of the kind of juxtaposition between the reel life and real life of the personality we have seen in 'Mahanati'....

KGF Review

The narration does seem confusing after a point. Too many characters are introduced and they are sketchy. The oversized focus on heroism takes the zing out of the proceedings....

Padi Padi Leche Manasu Review

While the canvas is ambitious, the writing is much ado about nothing. The story-telling abilities of the director are tested in the second half and he struggles to make the cut....

Antariksham Review

Don't expect nail-biting scenes in the last 30 minutes, as these portions are full of wild cinematic liberties. Awesome technical output and able performances are a big plus, so also the dialogues....

Husharu Review

In telling the story of four loyal friends, director Sree Harsha Konuganti has resorted to cliches, convenient writing and, at times, low-end humour.  ...

Bhairava Geetha Review

A class war between the oppressed and the oppressor lacks believable writing.  The villains are made to look like self-defeatist souls.  Romance is outrageous....

Subrahmanyapuram Review

A problem with "high-end" supernatural themes is that they don't take much time to lose the fizz in the absence of substantial improvements over other films of the same genre....

Next Enti Review

If you go out for washroom or a smoke in the middle of 'Next Enti', you are likely to miss five pages of dialogue, two pages of monologue, one-and-a-half pages of lyrics, two quintals of confusion....

Kavacham Review

Most of the times when a Telugu cinema actor decides to do a film that decisively portrays him as a mind-blowing action hero, the audience is hardly left with a 'kavacham' (shied)....

2.0 Review

It may sound unpopular but it's a sign of a lack of imagination that '2.0' has no songs save one. To watch a Shankar movie without songs is akin to watching a Chiranjeevi movie without dances....

24 Kisses Review

A pretentious, over-dramatized movie with loads of predictability. The lead pair itch to be over-cute and we can't take their romance after a point. Repetitive scenes and utterly lifeless....

Sharabha Review

The writers and director N Narasimha Rao fail in engaging the audience with a breathtaking screenplay that is marred by run-of-the-mill tracks....

Taxiwaala Review

The first half is a healthy mix of glamorous narration and horror vibes. The screenplay pans out smoothly, all the while delivering some punches....

Amar Akbar Anthony Review

By now, a seasoned Telugu cinema viewer should learn that disorders/syndromes and stuff like that are always almost portrayed like a joke by "commercial" directors....

Kartha Karma Kriya Review

Coming with a decent storyline, the film has some hits and misses. A crime thriller, it deals with the human defect of greed and how technology can make us vulnerable....

Adhugo Review

Quirky comedy has its value. It's not wrong to make crime capers with eccentric characters. And given Ravi Babu's fair track record, 'Adhugo' should have been a decent Diwali treat....

Sarkar Review

In just the last few years, at least half a dozen big-ticket films in regional cinema must have failed for want of a strong villain. Yet, some filmmakers don't seem to see the writing on the wall....
