Baby Girl (2026) EDIT “With the thriller track losing steam by the halfway mark, the rest of the film plods along with the aid of the emotional drama and a few convenient contrivances. But the dated approach ensures that much of this does not create the intended impact. ” – The Hindu Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies (2026) EDIT “Chatha Pacha gets the dynamics of WWE right, but fails to script a compelling narrative. It becomes an unfortunate case of falling flat while making a stylish signature move.” – The Hindu Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Pennu Case (2026) EDIT “Nikhila Vimal gets a character which holds a lot of potential, but it appears quite under-written. She also approaches the character in a laidback manner, which might have worked for a different kind of character, not for a con woman.” – The Hindu Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Sarvam Maya (2025) EDIT “If the film remains engaging even in its weakest portions, credit has to go to Nivin and Riya.” – The Hindu Dec 29, 2025 Full Review A Sad and Beautiful World (2025) EDIT “Aris infuses what could have been just another romantic drama with so much life and energy that it is no wonder that A Sad and Beautiful World is one of the crowd favourites this year at the IFFK.” – The Hindu Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Kalamkaval (2025) EDIT “Kalamkaval could have become just another slow-burn serial killer despite some of its original takes, but Mammootty and Vinayakan elevate it to the next level through the force of their performances.” – The Hindu Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Vilayath Budha (2025) EDIT “Though Vilayath Buddha has some potent plot points which could have made it an effective drama, its mass masala aspirations, which it also fails to fulfil, bring the film down.” – The Hindu Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Eko (2025) EDIT “With Eko, Dinjith Ayyathan and Bahul Ramesh craft a solid mystery thriller, in which the animals have almost as much role to play as the humans.” – The Hindu Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Diés Iraé (2025) EDIT “Along with Pranav Mohanlal, the small cast of Gibin Gopinath, Arun Ajikumar, and Jaya Kurup deliver effective performances that convey horror in full measure.” – The Hindu Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Balti (2025) EDIT “The debutant director certainly has a flair for mounting mass action, although the same cannot be said about his writing, which is patchy and emotionally distant. ” – The Hindu Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Karam (2025) EDIT “Karam is a staid, emotionally-hollow film on human trafficking that doesn’t even attempt to say anything new.” – The Hindu Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Mirage (2025) EDIT “The absence of a coherent, believable screenplay and the compulsion to deliver one shocking twist after another drains Mirage of any impact. ” – The Hindu Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira (2025) EDIT “Somewhere amidst the muddled narrative, one can sense the initial vision to use humour to portray a depressed state of mind. It is an admirable endeavour, but one fraught with risks. ” – The Hindu Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Hridayapoorvam (2025) EDIT “With Hridayapoorvam, Sathyan Anthikad crafts a light-hearted entertainer by stretching a thin plotline and extracting all the possible laughs out of it.” – The Hindu Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Soothravakyam (2025) EDIT “Neither the light-hearted scenes, nor the police procedural...evoke the expected emotions in the audience, partly due to the patchy writing.” – The Hindu Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Dheeran (2025) EDIT “Dheeran works partly when it banks on rustic humour, but loses its way midway through. ” – The Hindu Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Ronth (2025) EDIT “Even though the narrative unfurls through these short, seemingly disconnected episodes, the taut screenplay ensures that the film remains engaging throughout. ” – The Hindu Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Aabhyanthara Kuttavaali (2025) EDIT “Even Asif Ali’s natural flair in emotional scenes cannot lift this film, partly because it comes in the service of a regressive idea.” – The Hindu Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Thudarum (2025) EDIT “Thudarum, despite its flaws, is a finely-crafted film with the right emotional beats.” – The Hindu Apr 25, 2025 Full Review MaranaMass (2025) EDIT “With a few doses of ingenuity, a potent mix of idiosyncratic characters and a liberal sprinkling of humour, Maranamass treads a path of its own. ” – The Hindu Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Alappuzha Gymkhana (2025) EDIT “Alappuzha Gymkhana will be remembered more for the artful dodges it made than the punches it landed. Sometimes, you don’t need a punch to make an impact.” – The Hindu Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Bazooka (2025) EDIT “For a film branded as a “gaming thriller”, Bazooka ends up as a dull film with barely an exciting passage of play that is worthy of the star it is supposedly celebrating.” – The Hindu Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Empuraan - Lucifer 2 (2025) EDIT “Empuraan has hardly anything going for it, except for the richness of its production design.” – The Hindu Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Machante Malakha (2025) EDIT “If the film were made in the 2000s, arguably one of the worst periods in the history of Malayalam cinema, it would still have been called outdated and regressive. The sorry attempts at humour pile on the agony of the audience. ” – The Hindu Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Officer On Duty (2025) EDIT “With Officer On Duty, Shahi Kabir conjures up yet another gripping police tale which works despite faltering at some points.” – The Hindu Feb 20, 2025 Full Review
