Butta Bomma Review

The drama involving the three main characters is narrated effectively. There are no deviations, no bad casting choices, and the game of deception has been played with smartness....

Rebels of Thupakulagudem Review

The narration spun around the Jawans is also too cinematic. The paramilitary forces are shown to lack a solid strategy and they behave as though they are driven only by emotions....

Michael Review

It has been staged as a universal gangster drama, much on the lines of films like 'KGF'. The titular character is shown as a born rebel who takes to notorious adventures....

Writer Padmabhushan Review

For all its misses, 'Writer Padmabhushan' has the smarts to convince the audience member about its convictions. The central message comes with admirable simplicity....

Hunt Review

Synopsis: However, 'Hunt' relies way too much on its twist. It forgets to build a compelling screenplay in the lead-up to the pre-climax phase. The actors mostly go through the motions....

Driver Jamuna Review

This Kollywood film also suffers from a sort of laziness that a lot of Kollywood movies these days are suffering from. Besides pacing issues, the scenes seem to linger on for too long....

ATM Review

'ATM' is an important web series in many ways. Its showrunner is a star Tollywood filmmaker: Harish Shankar. Its creator is joined by a star Tollywood producer: Dil Raju....

Vaarasudu Review

When the trailer for 'Vaarasudu' was released, everyone started drawing references to a lot of Telugu-language family films (read 'Attarintiki Daredi', 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo', 'Srimantudu'')....

Waltair Veerayya Review

Casting-wise, this is one of the most populated big-ticket movies in recent times. You will lose count after a point. Better song placement and comedy scenes would have impressed the audience....

Veera Simha Reddy Review

The stories of 'Samara Simha Reddy', 'Narasimha Naidu', 'Chennakesava Reddy', 'Simha' and 'Legend' were unmistakably self-contained, cathartic and inherently hyper-emotional in different degrees....

Tegimpu Review

For all the film's failure to whip up satire and hard-hitting commentary, it is still watchable. In the hands of a director adept at smart comedy, the second half would have been better....

Korameenu Review

Hidden motives, a concealed identity, plausible plotting, and the unassuming rebellion of the oppressed... These elements make 'Korameenu' a nice watch. ...

Top Gear Review

The screenplay needed to be way tighter, though. A lot of scenes ride on the stylization of the frames. One is also reminded of the influence of new-age thrillers like 'Vikram' in this regard....

Lucky Lakshman Review

The characterizations, the love track, and the thinking of today's youngsters have been fleshed out adequately. The second half assumes a different form....

18 Pages Review

The film came across as a feel-good love story in the beginning. When its trailer was out, the narrative changed. It looked like an unpredictable thriller with an anticipated climax....

Dhamaka Review

The makers had made the fact apparent. How far 'Rowdy Alludu' has inspired the film under review is for the audience member to figure out. ...

Connect Review

Connect' could have been one uninterrupted stretch giving the audience the much-needed chills. But that's not the case. The final 30 minutes are lifeless....

Laatti Review

'Laththi' doesn't make the best use of its core idea. The larger-than-life staging and the violent action in the second half are undone by weak execution....

Avatar (The Way of Water) Review

The theatre of action underwater is filled with breathtaking visuals. The action choreography is creative and the editing is innovative. The background score comes with life....

Sasanasabha Review

This film narrates horse trading and resort politics in the silliest manner. Then there are pre-election survey reports that are touted like gospel by the CM and the CM-in-waiting....
