Sadak 2 (2020) Anupama Chopra More than anything, Sadak 2 is a brutal reminder of the ravages of time...

Yeh Ballet (2020) Rahul Desai Imperfect but instinctive.

Ullozhukku (2024) Aswathy Gopalakrishnan A tender film on love that defies conventions...

Bad Newz (2024) Rahul Desai The soundscape of Bad Newz just doesn't know how to quit. It drove me nuts...
Posted Jul 22, 2024Edit critic review
Bad Newz (2024) Anupama Chopra Would be passable if more of the jokes landed.
Posted Jul 19, 2024Edit critic review
Freddy (2022) Rahul Desai Freddy is socially awkward, stunted, creepy, needy, tone-deaf and a bit of a lunatic. And that's just the film. Its protagonist is worse.

KALKI (2024) Anupama Chopra First of it's kind!
Posted Jul 15, 2024Edit critic review
Manjummel Boys (2024) Anupama Chopra I wept and wept!
Posted Jul 15, 2024Edit critic review
Munjya (2024) Anupama Chopra A worthy addition to the Stree universe!
Posted Jul 15, 2024Edit critic review
Indian 2 (2024) Sruthi Raman It was a film that explored the penalty of being a bad and a good person. The sequel has no space for such deep dualities.
Posted Jul 12, 2024Edit critic review
Sarfira (2024) Rahul Desai It empathises with poignant ground realities, but from the sky. As a result, it's hard to tell a soaring take-off from a choppy landing.
Posted Jul 12, 2024Edit critic review
Naai Sekar (2022) Sruthi Raman Vadivelu gets his starring-role comeback in Suraj’s film. But this is not the comeback the ace comedian or his fans deserved.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Run Baby Run (2023) Ranjani Krishnakumar With none of the characters demanding any empathy from the audience, Run Baby Run’s only leverage is the whodunnit. That can only take the film so far.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Kannai Nambathey (2023) Harshini S V The crime thriller hardly attempts anything new, but whatever it does, it does so impeccably.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Rudhran (2023) Ranjani Krishnakumar Raghava Lawrence gives the audience a headache with his Kanchana hangover.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Good Night (2023) Sruthi Raman Vinayak Chandrasekaran’s film rests on the extremely capable shoulders of Manikandan, who is all sorts of wonderful in this comedy about minor inconveniences.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Yaathisai (2023) Sruthi Raman Dharani Rasendran's 7th century period piece charts the age-old origins of war and its purpose with a burst of originality.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Pichaikkaran 2 (2023) Vishal Menon Despite the option to develop its idea into a film like Billa, Pichaikkaran turns into a soapy melodrama that deviates too much from its campy genesis.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Farhana (2023) Harshini S V A sincere Aishwarya Rajesh and a non-judgmental gaze in writing are the biggest strengths of Farhana.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Maamannan (2023) Vishal Menon Despite the compromises in the second half, Mari Selvaraj's third film remains powerful, proving to be a testament to how his voice remains the loudest.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Asvins (2023) Sruthi Raman A good atmospheric horror often always evokes dread with a kind of effort that's never visible on screen. Tarun Teja's Asvins is a technical coup, but take that away, and what we're left with is laboured and unaffecting plotting.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Jailer (2023) Sruthi Raman It is the kind of film that quite happily declares to us that whatever type of dinosaur Rajinikanth may be, he is never the type to get extinct.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Appatha (2023) Harshini S V This Priyadarshan directorial has the right intentions but is hardly engaging.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Rebel (2024) Harshini S V When the film is done being predictable, it either force-feeds deeply affecting scenes or is busy focusing on the aesthetics of its action sequences.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Blurr (2022) Rahul Desai At over two hours, it all starts to feel like a blur – a murky whydunit where the film becomes a needy killer while the viewers slowly lose their ability to see the film.
Posted Jul 11, 2024Edit critic review
Wild Wild Punjab (2024) Rahul Desai Cultural parody at its worst.
Posted Jul 10, 2024Edit critic review
Sharmajee Ki Beti (2024) Rahul Desai If this film were a person, its own parents would use Kiran Rao’s Laapata Ladies as a sobering point of comparison and the real ‘Sharmajee Ki Beti.’ Be like her. Aim for balance. Work smart, not loud.
Posted Jun 29, 2024Edit critic review
Maharaja (2024) Sruthi Raman Complicated destiny is everything in Vijay Sethupathi’s terrific hyper-link thriller. It is this labyrinthine web of writing choices that also urges us to overlook its missteps.
Posted Jun 28, 2024Edit critic review
All We Imagine as Light (2024) Anupama Chopra All We Imagine As Light is a film that reveals its gifts at a measured pace and marinates in your head. The second hour, when the action moves to a village, is less effective but Payal is a formidable filmmaker. I can’t wait to see it again.
Posted Jun 28, 2024Edit critic review
KALKI (2024) Sagar Tetali If you're patient with the early sections, the film offers several reviews.
Posted Jun 27, 2024Edit critic review
KALKI (2024) Rahul Desai Nag Ashwin's gargantuan Rs. 600-crore spectacle, Kalki 2898 AD, breaks this holy tradition – by being strictly middling.

Mr. & Mrs. Mahi (2024) Rahul Desai At least the film, like the real Mahi, took the game deep.

Aarambham (2024) Sruthi Raman What Aarambham lacks in technical know-how, it tries to make up for it with its emotional core — which is Miguel's relationship with his mother.
