Nuvvala Nenila could have easily been a good romantic entertainer, if only there was some great chemistry between the lead actors.
Read the full reviewThere are films which rehash every known cliche there is in a genre to strike a chord with the audience and then there are films which take you by surprise for the sheer ingenuity that’s too hard to miss as the story unfolds.
Read the full reviewDrushyam is an ode to classic style of filmmaking – clinical in its approach and hits just about the perfect notes to keep the audience hooked, without much gimmickry.
Read the full reviewOne of the basic problems associated with the film is, except for Prakash Raj and Brahmanandam, no other actor exhibits a sense of belongingness to the milieu the story is set in.
Read the full reviewSujeeth gets a lot of things right in his debut film; however, it still is a lost opportunity. The emphasis on style takes over the sharp writing that’s quite visible in the first act.
Read the full reviewNee Jathaga Nenundali is a faithful remake of Aashiqui 2 sans the dazzling chemistry between the lead actors, which made the original film work in the first place.

Read the full reviewThe film is a remake of Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar starrer Oh My God and the Telugu version largely stays true to the original version.
Read the full reviewThe film does falter a bit towards the end where it fizzles out while trying to wrap up the proceedings and the romantic track between the lead pair feels underwritten; however, there’s so much which the film gets right.
Read the full reviewTemper comes across as a film which was meant for NTR to reinvent himself, for Puri to prove that he hasn’t lost his mojo yet, for NTR’s fans, whose unflinching faith in the actor hasn’t diminished at all.

Read the full reviewLion has a huge star-cast, but not a single one of them, except Balakrishna and to an extent, Prakash Raj, has any substantial roles to play.
