MLA Review

The situational comedy in the second half is too simplistic. In delivering it, the film refuses to rise above the simple-mindedness of a 'Radha' (the Sharwanand-starrer)....

Aithe 2.0 Review

The corporate scamster of Nirav Modi proportions literally goes searching (almost) for the police and gets arrested. Wish Vijay Mallya too had such a tiny brain and a big heart....

Kirrak Party Review

What shades of RGV's 'Shiva' were the makers talking about in a film where rival student groups resort to kiddish fights, only to bond over a farewell party?...

Karthavyam Review

At every step, the wretched lives of the villagers is subtly told in brief moments/dialogues. When the film has to proceed into the climax, it's a moving melody that comes into play....

Ye Mantram Vesave Review

The world of online games and public chat rooms that offer anonymity is not explored in a new way. Everything is done with a touch of an outdated narrative....

Raa Raa Review

Stock scenes are one thing. Inconsistencies are another. One half of 'Raa Raa' doesn't seem to believe in what the other half says about the body parts of ghosts....

Juvva Review

The rom-com track between the hero and his girl is at the level of an inferior skit in a second-rate TV programme....

Rachayitha Review

When the lead man ventures out to pen a novel that explains fear, we expect the script to be layered. But nothing of that sort happens....

Manasuku Nachindi Review

The climax can be seen from miles away. The done-to-death point of belated realization in love is delivered in an old-fashioned way in the movie....

Awe Review

The dialogues are unperturbed by the heaviness of the pivot. They play out as if it's business as usual. If many scenes seem to overstay their welcome, it's because they lack profundity....

Tholi Prema Review

Compared to 'Fidaa', the pain point that drives a gulf between the lead characters is certainly stronger here. This is not to say that 'TP' outshines 'Fidaa', overall....

Gayatri Review

This is a melancholic storyline in itself. There may also be an allegorical meaning to the fact that Gayatri Patel looks just like Shivaji....

Intelligent Review

The climax comes all of a sudden and before you have moved from 1990s to present day, the hero pumps dozens of bullets into whoever he can....

Howrah Bridge Review

If we scratch the proceedings a bit, it becomes clear that this is the story of a double-timing character who behaves like a split personality. Or, maybe, she is just a confused nincompoop....

Touch Chesi Chudu Review

Every powerful villain in the film seems to be condemned to take either 'gaalis' or bullets from the hero. In another incredibly 'Dry Fruit' moment, our ACP hero calls the Home Minister 'Verri...

Chalo Review

You go to watch a film whose premise is palpably weird, only to find out that it's neither the rivalry between Telugus and Tamils, nor the love story that's the film's forte....

Bhaagamathie Review

If Anushka doing a recce of the Bhaagamathie bungalow night after night, putting up a semi-shocked expression on her neat face, can scare you, this is your kind of horror stuff....

Padmavat Review

A Premiere show of 'Padmaavat' (Telugu) was arranged by the makers on Tuesday. Here is our review of the much-awaited, controversial drama....

Rangula Ratnam Review

Stock ideas litter the length and breadth of this farce of a show-reel. The conversations between the mother-son duo smack of ordinariness or unnecessary drama....

Gang Review

The way the gang members raise the bar with their underdog sentiment is sure to tick. With an interesting plot, the director shuttles between little family sentiments, too....
