Haiku poster
Haiku2.5/5

2026 · Tamil · The Times of India

Haiku has a sound idea about love and self-respect, but keeps it hidden behind a hero who is hard to root for. The campus comedy is lukewarm at best, built around a hero with the processing speed of a dial-up modem.

Drones poster

2026 · Tamil · The Times of India

By the end he has a family entertainer that mostly holds together, with none of the gore or explicitness a horror-comedy can easily slide into.

Anbil Avan makes running a homestay look like a job that requires combat training.

Anbe Diana poster

2026 · Tamil · The Times of India

Anbe Diana is a pleasant enough sit. With a tighter cut and people written with more nuance, it might have been a memorable one.

29 poster
293/5

2026 · Tamil · The Times of India

The ordinariness carries enough craft to hold attention, but the content keeps inviting a 'who cares?' shrug. For a production with Karthik Subbaraj and Lokesh Kanagaraj's names attached, you walk in expecting more punch.

Kaantha poster

2025 · Tamil · The Times of India

The film knows it's trafficking in archetypes and classical mechanics, and instead of trying to subvert them, it just plays them straight with enough craft to make the old moves land. Sometimes commitment beats cleverness.

Aaryan poster

2025 · Tamil · The Times of India

Thankfully, after a draggy start, Aaryan pulls itself together in the second half. The "how" of the murders and the ticking clock deliver some genuinely racy, interesting thrills.

Maareesan poster

2025 · Tamil · The Times of India

Maareesan works best when it lets its contradictions breathe - two criminals finding kinship in their damaged moral compasses, each justifying their crimes through different lenses.

3BHK poster
3BHK3/5

2025 · Tamil · The Times of India

At 140 minutes, the film tests patience without offering much beyond recognition. Yes, the struggles will ring a bell. Yes, you'll appreciate the absence of manufactured drama. But recognition isn't the same as engagement.

Eleven poster
Eleven2.5/5

2025 · Tamil · The Times of India

On the upside, the film is visually quite polished (kudos to cinematographer Karthik Ashokan), and Imman's background score adds a nice ambiance.

Tourist Family poster

2025 · Tamil · The Times of India

Tourist Family is a gentle look at the challenges of starting over, even if the narrative feels somewhat formulaic.

Kudumbasthan poster

2025 · Tamil · The Times of India

For all its detours, Kudumbasthan works best when it sticks to basics — much like its protagonist, who discovers that family and honest work trump any get-rich-quick scheme.

Vaazhai poster

2024 · Tamil · The Times of India

Vaazhai has got heart and looks the part, but it could've used a bit more grey in its village tableau.
