Action (2019) EDIT “A formulaic entertainer with no proper storyline.” – Firstpost Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Kaithi (2019) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Kaithi is Kamal Haasan’s Virumaandi meets Bruce Willis’s Die Hard. In fact, Lokesh has acknowledged both the films in the credits.” – Firstpost Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Bigil (2019) 71% 3.25/5 EDIT “What makes Bigil a winner is Vijay’s superb performance in a dual role as father and son.” – Firstpost Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Darbar (2020) 50% 2.75/5 EDIT “...the trouble with Darbar is that Murgadoss does not have a convincing story and the narration lacks logic.” – Firstpost Jan 16, 2020 Full Review Thoota (2019) 20% 2/5 EDIT “Ene Noki Paayum Thota is way off the target and should have been shorter. The Gautham Menon magic is clearly missing.” – Firstpost Dec 3, 2019 Full Review EDIT “With a runtime of 150 minutes, Sangathamizhan is a tedious watch.” – Firstpost Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Nerkonda Paarvai (2019) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Nerkonda Paarvai is Ajith's best movie in recent times and deserves a watch for its daring theme and presentation.” – Firstpost Aug 8, 2019 Full Review Madam Geeta Rani (2019) 0% 2.5/5 EDIT “Raatchasi skims through issues plaguing the education system and offers a one-woman army as the solution.” – Firstpost Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Gorilla (2019) 20% 2.5/5 EDIT “Kong remains the saving grace of an otherwise run-of-the mill Kollywood entertainer from writer-director Don Sandy. The chimpanzee plays a key role in a comedy heist drama which has hardly anything new to offer.” – Firstpost Jul 16, 2019 Full Review House Owner (2019) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “House Owner is as heartwarming as it is riveting. Lakshmi Ramakrishnan keeps the flag of independent filmmakers flying.” – Firstpost Jul 2, 2019 Full Review Kanchana 3 (2019) 2.5/5 EDIT “In the nearly three-hour film, everything is loud (eardrum-splitting music), exaggerated and playing widely to the gallery. There are also crass jokes and gimmicks along with three girls who go to great lengths to woo the hero.” – Firstpost Apr 30, 2019 Full Review To Let (2019) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “There have been films like Balu Mahendra's Veedu in the past which explored the difficulty in finding a house for the middle class, but To Let nails the issue.” – Firstpost Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Maari 2 (Tamil) (2018) 3/5 EDIT “There are no two ways about it; the film is an out and out one-man show by Dhanush. He makes you like the Maari character with his stylish swag and oozing screen presence.” – Firstpost Jan 2, 2019 Full Review Thuppakki Munai (2018) 3/5 EDIT “On the whole, Thuppakki Munai is edgy and new in treatment, and watchable to a large extent.” – Firstpost Dec 19, 2018 Full Review Kaatrin Mozhi (2018) 3.5/5 EDIT “Kaatrin Mozhi is an entertaining watch, a perfect take on urban middle class values and aspirations, along with top notch performances from its actors.” – Firstpost Nov 16, 2018 Full Review Sandakozhi 2 (2018) 20% 2.5/5 EDIT “On the whole Sandakozhi 2 is not in the same league as the first Sandakozhi, due to its uneven plot and songs that come as speed breakers.” – Firstpost Oct 18, 2018 Full Review '96 (2018) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “On the whole, if you like romance, 96 is pure magic.” – Firstpost Oct 5, 2018 Full Review Chekka Chivantha Vaanam (2018) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “All the four male actors have equal importance and screen space, though Vijay Sethupathi ends up with the best one-liners, which make him the scene-stealer in the climax.” – Firstpost Sep 27, 2018 Full Review Vishwaroopam 2 (2018) 10% 2.5/5 EDIT “It's the entertainment factor of the film that ultimately triumphs, and you're able to move past the issues in Vishwaroopam 2 due to Kamal Haasan's inimitable style and panache.” – Firstpost Aug 10, 2018 Full Review Thamizh Padam 2 (2018) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Every hit superstar film has been mercilessly trolled by Amudhan who is ably assisted by Shiva, with his terrific comic timing and ability to mock and lampoon conventional, commercial film stereotypes.” – Firstpost Jul 12, 2018 Full Review Mr. Chandramouli (2018) 2.5/5 EDIT “Thiru's formulaic and insipid script isn't exciting enough. The film has a starting problem, just like the old Fiat Padmini car used by Karthik in the story.” – Firstpost Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Tik Tik Tik (2018) 43% 3/5 EDIT “Nivetha Pethuraj as the stylish DSD officer has done a good job, and the two comedians, Ramesh and Arjunan, provide enough laughs. Shakthi Soundar Rajan has made a reasonably entertaining film without any lag.” – Firstpost Jun 25, 2018 Full Review Kaala (2018) 57% 3/5 EDIT “Kaala is an out-and-out Rajinikanth film and he is one of the biggest reasons to go watch it.” – Firstpost Jun 8, 2018 Full Review Sketch (2018) 3/5 EDIT “The climax twist is the saving grace of Sketch. The director has sensitively portrayed the growing trend of juvenile criminals, and the way children are taking to crime at a very young age.” – Firstpost Jan 16, 2018 Full Review Balloon (2017) 3/5 EDIT “Balloon follows the horror comedy format to a T, with non-stop fear creating scenes, with regular doses of comedy as well.” – Firstpost Jan 2, 2018 Full Review
