Nari Nari Naduma Murari (2026) EDIT “Nari Nari Naduma Murari is a lightweight rom-com with some purpose to its existence besides the mischief, fun and frolic” – The Hindu Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi (2026) EDIT “Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi is a mixed bag on the whole. Although it hints at the director and the actor’s return to form in flashes, it is barely a reflection of their complete potential.” – The Hindu Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Dhandoraa (2025) EDIT “In confronting casteism, the director resists the temptation for a moral science lecture and personalises the larger social problem effectively with a focus on a dysfunctional family” – The Hindu Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Shambhala (2025) EDIT “Shambhala benefits from a strong performance by Aadi Saikumar, a capable storyteller in Ugandhar Muni, and solid technical contributions. They deserved, however, to come together for a more original story.” – The Hindu Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Mowgli (2025) EDIT “Despite Nolan’s larger-than-life dialogues, the villainy crumbles with repetitive one-liners, retorts, and warnings. The climax is an effort to ride on prevalent cultural sentiments. The intermittent calls for religious harmony, too, appear forced.” – The Hindu Dec 15, 2025 Full Review Raju Weds Rambai (2025) EDIT “Raju Weds Rambai’s tone-deaf, crass treatment is the primary antagonist for a tragedy that demanded a more cautious, nuanced filmmaking approach.” – The Hindu Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Santhana Prapthirasthu (2025) EDIT “The film succumbs to clichés as much as it tries to challenge them. With tighter writing and sharper editing, its ideas could have landed far better.” – The Hindu Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Jatadhara (2025) EDIT “The writing feels like an exaggerated discourse, glorifying dogmas and superstitions. The treatment is painfully generic, and the performances are uninspiring and rehearsed. There is no authenticity to the setting at all.” – The Hindu Nov 7, 2025 Full Review The Great Pre-Wedding Show (2025) EDIT “Films like The Great Pre-Wedding Show matter because they undo the stereotyping of the region (Srikakulam in this case) inflicted by popular cinema for years.” – The Hindu Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Mass Jathara (2025) EDIT “Despite a better second half, Mass Jathara slips into the tired template of action, sentiment, comedy and song. The packaging is lazy and takes the audiences for granted (who, like the writer, looked exhausted in the theatre). ” – The Hindu Nov 3, 2025 Full Review K-Ramp (2025) EDIT “For a film promoted as a family entertainer, K Ramp is embarrassing in how it passes off casual misogyny as humour.” – The Hindu Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Mithra Mandali (2025) EDIT “Mithra Mandali may have looked like a decent entertainment package on paper, though the cluttered and flimsy execution spoils the fun.” – The Hindu Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Kishkindhapuri (2025) EDIT “Kishkindhapuri stays true to the structure of a popcorn entertainer that offers something for everyone — a dose of heroism, humour, thrills, drama — and knows its boundaries. ” – The Hindu Sep 13, 2025 Full Review Tribanadhari Barbarik (2025) EDIT “Tribanadhari Barbarik narrates a familiar story and yet tweaks it just enough to keep the audiences invested for over two hours. Look past some of its rough edges and this is a film that is aware of its boundaries and makes optimum use of its resources.” – The Hindu Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Sundarakanda (2025) EDIT “Director Venkatesh Nimmalapudi has a smart premise, though the treatment is a mixed bag. It errs on way too many occasions to be a light, memorable film with a quirky concept.” – The Hindu Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama (2025) EDIT “Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama borrows influences from a handful of films...and tries to repackage a worn-out formula in a haphazard narrative. This is among Suhas’ least impactful performances, and the inconsistent characterisation barely allows him to settle down.” – The Hindu Jul 11, 2025 Full Review 8 Vasantalu (2025) EDIT “Despite its shortcomings, 8 Vasantalu isn’t a lazy effort. It has a surreal visual texture (cinematography by Vishwanath Reddy) and a story that has a lot to unpack; just that the balance doesn’t come through effectively.” – The Hindu Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Bhairavam (2025) EDIT “The film, on paper, may have all the familiar ingredients one expects from a commercial caper, but lacks a vision that could bind its elements into a coherent product.” – The Hindu May 30, 2025 Full Review #Single (2025) EDIT “The film mistakes catchy one-liners for situational humour, leaning on capable actors to carry an obnoxious, aimless premise. A banal idea is stretched to the point of exhaustion, and in trying to be cool, it ends up being neither clever nor funny.” – The Hindu May 9, 2025 Full Review Robinhood (2025) EDIT “Robinhood is tolerable, to an extent, when it pitches itself as a low-stakes action comedy, even if it has highly exaggerated characters and pointless situations. Yet, it runs out of steam quickly.” – The Hindu Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Dilruba (2025) EDIT “Dilruba is a forgettable action-romance undone by its chaotic screenplay and insensitive treatment of a reasonably good idea.” – The Hindu Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Brahma Anandam (2025) EDIT “Director RVS Nikhil exhibits a flair for humour and eccentric characterisation, but his lack of narrative focus weakens Brahma Anandam.” – The Hindu Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Daaku Maharaaj (2025) EDIT “Apart from Balakrishna and Shraddha Srinath’s performances, the action choreography, cinematography and the music salvages it to an extent.” – The Hindu Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Bachchala Malli (2024) EDIT “The issue with Bachchala Malli is not its titular character or his problems, it is the directionless storytelling.” – The Hindu Dec 27, 2024 Full Review Care of Kancharapalem (2017) 100% 4/5 EDIT “C/O Kancharapalem raises a toast to sincere, uncinematic storytelling, gives power to those unheard regional voices and does its part in undoing the stereotypical portrayal of community-specific stories in Telugu cinema.” – The Times of India Jan 16, 2024 Full Review
