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....

Saakshyam Review

Staging a wild massacre, the introductory scenes set the tone for the violence-ridden movie. We expect a hair-raising supernatural thriller. But do we get that?...

Parichayam Review

The director of 'Parichayam' might have thought that there should be no tragedy or uncertainty in the way the film ends - because we are Tollywood filmmakers, you know....

Lover Review

In 'Lover', what should have been one of the tricks of the hero becomes the one and only weapon, idea of heroism and dose of intelligence (if you can charitably call it)....

Wife of Ram Review

Debutant director Vijay Yelakanti makes an effort to infuse detailing and he doesn't at least take his audience for granted....

Aatagadharaa Siva Review

With a good mix of characters, the screenplay writer and director Chandra Siddarth sets out to tell a coming-of-age drama whose concept is profound but the execution is simplistic and contrived....

RX 100 Review

It's a good thing, most of the times, when a tale comes with an unexpected twist. And in terms of shock value, 'RX100' definitely scrapes through....

Chinna Babu Review

There is no romanticization of family unity. In one of the scenes, they are divided into gossip camps during a special occasion. It's not planned or conscious for them....

Vijetha Review

The hero messes up a couple of times but it's OK. Our heroes mess up things for a noble end - the noble end of achieving the greatest things in the shortest time days/weeks/months later....

Tej I Love You Review

It is frustrating when calamitous events in a lead character's life are portrayed like a semi-joke in movies. It's frustrating, for want of a better word....

Pantham Review

In one action scene, Gopichand emotionally says for real that there is a time limit during exams but he has got no limits. Even our patience has a limit....
