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....

Naa Love Story Review

The rom-com track comes with its share of foibles. The film should have depicted the rom-com track without those doses of forceful kisses....

Shambho Shankara Review

Shankar, who has shed the moniker 'Shakalaka' because he is no longer a funny guy (or so he thinks), is the film's R Narayana Murthy, Sai Kumar, Power Star and Sampoornesh Babu rolled into one....

Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi Review

Whoever tells you Tharun Bhascker has written a true-to-life story is telling you only a half-truth. Becuase 'Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi' is a true-to-a-lucky-life story....

Tik Tik Tik Review

The tendency to feel deja vu for several scenes is natural. But every single scene is portrayed as an inspiration and continues to innovate rather than just copy paste from any other space movie....

Jamba Lakidi Pamba Review

When the film takes on the shades of a quirky family drama towards the climax, doses of patriarchy, masala (in the form of an item song) and preachiness are shoved down our throats....

Sammohanam Review

The biggest strength of 'Sammohanam' lies in the fact that its characters are strongly-etched, they have a thinking process, they respect their world, and they are so expressive....

Naa Nuvve Review

'Naa Nuvve' is a trivial idea stretched beyond a permissible point. The hero's character leaves much to be desired and robs the film of feel with his insouciance and/or idiocy....

Kaala Review

So, where then is the Pa.Ranjith touch? It lies in his (agenda-driven) symbolism. From alternative reading of mythology to convenient allegories, 'Kaala' espouses a particular Macaulayan mindset....

Officer Review

RGV usually avoids run-of-the-mill songs and melodrama yes, but there is an equivalent one to these in his films: yawn-inducing background music....

Raju Gadu Review

The hero's character traits come with exaggerated tropes. The heroine is like an Angel who loves the imperfect hero because, well, some films are meant to be escapist fare....

Abhimanyudu Review

The forte of this film lies in the research done with respect to cyber crimes. Mithran is not telling any done-to-death story of hackers, whose modus operandi is almost always sketchy in our films....

Ammammagarillu Review

A sure way to subject the audience to boredom is to write uni-dimensional characters. In family entertainers like 'Kalisundam Raa', this was effectively avoided....

Nela Ticket Review

Director Kalyan Krishna, taking inspiration from any number of simple-minded films, comes up with his own version of lengthy comedy episodes popularized by Srinu Vaitla....
