A terrific exploration of good, evil and everything in between

A potentially unconventional love story ends up as obsequious government propaganda

Movies News:'Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum' review: a winner yet again

It is an engrossing cop film that keeps you glued to the screen every moment.

Spyder is a thriller and has a strong role etched out for the villain, which obviously means a greater challenge for the hero.

Director Sekhar Kammula returns with a heart-warming romantic musical, powered by compelling characters

Reviews News:Beautiful Manasugalu: Back to the tried and tested

Ambitious in its visual scale, 'Thugs of Hindostan' reveals a disappointing lack of heft and flair when it comes to the story and its telling

Be it a rapist or a saviour, Simmba is all about toxic masculinity

Aavesham is a gangster comedy with Fahadh Faasil as Rangan, filled with tension, humor, and unexpected twists.

Shrikumar Menon’s Odiyan simply fails to live up to his eerie reputation or create that rare sorcery on screen

The portions involving the family are genuinely fun and Karthi infuses a likeable energy

Outdated themes, however, are out of place in a film set in modern environment

The film will take you on a nostalgic trip to your school days and old flames

A feel-good film, this Sai Dharam Tej and Rashi Khanna starrer's strong content makes it a winner

This Tamil remake of ‘Pink’ not only discusses society’s collective gaze on women, but also gives us uniformly excellent performances from its lead cast

Malayalam action film ‘Marco’ scores on the technical aspects such as the stylised stunts, cinematography and background score; the writing, however, flounders

Lo and behold, this Karthi-Lokesh Kanagaraj joyride is by far the best action thriller in Tamil cinema since ‘Theeran Adhigaram Ondru’

KV Anand’s latest collaboration with his favourite leading man is a painstakingly long thriller, that neither has soul nor brain

A superlative performance by Dhanush is the crown jewel in this mesmerising Vetri Maaran film set in a bygone era, but one which rarely looks out of place in the modern context

Mari Selvaraj’s follow-up to ‘Pariyerum Perumal’ is even more assertive, even more aggressive, and twice as painful to watch and introspect

Director Nelson’s writing is top-notch, as are the performances by the ensemble cast, in this roller-coaster of a watch

Sundar C’s third installment in the ‘Aranmanai’ franchise succeeds neither in scaring us nor making us laugh

Simbu is as invisible as Gautham Menon in ‘Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu’ and this is a welcome departure for them. Yet, something feels incomplete

While ‘Theeran Adhigaram Ondru’ may have announced that H. Vinoth could do action, ‘Valimai’ reaffirms our belief that he could perhaps be the best Indian filmmaker who knows how to write, choreograph and execute action sequences…

Paappan is about an investigation into a series of gruesome murders which has a link to a past murder

Pradeep Ranganathan’s ‘Love Today’, written and aimed at young adults and college cohorts, is mostly entertaining and achieves what it sets out to, even at the cost of flab in writing and plainness in performances

The Suriya-Pandiraj film is a random assortment of song, dance, sentiment and serious issues

Director Amal Neerad makes up for the lack of novelty in the story with style and some solid characters

The film could well be described as the “relationship between a man and a dog” but director Kiranraj ensures that he packs in emotion and light-heartedness in equal measure that we are engaged all the time

Directed by Vamshi Paidipally, ‘Varisu’ exploits Vijay’s humourous and emotional facets while exploring an all-familiar tale

At one moment, director Venky goes meta to say that even a cinema theatre can impart education if needed, and his noble message in the film is loud and clear.

Along with some top-notch comic performances from the entire cast, everything works like a charm and evokes uproarious laughter in director Jithu Madhavan’s debut film

Debutant director Vignesh Raja has pulled off a phenomenal job with ‘Por Thozhil’, starring Sarath Kumar and Ashok Selvan in lead roles, making the minor mishaps almost feel like a product of nitpicking

Barring S J Suryah’s delightful presence, this Vishal-starrer ends up as an unnecessarily loud and mindless film that is neither serious nor finds a wacky nerve; it also brings back the toxic trope of antagonising queer characters

Sivakarthikeyan the star becomes a director’s tool in Madonne Ashwin’s brilliantly written and executed action-comedy/political drama/superhero vehicle

Abhilash Joshiy’s directorial is an unabashed vehicle for Dulquer’s superstardom aspirations, but it does not pack enough of a punch to become the crowning glory that it was intended to be

Director Srini gets the best out of Kannada superstar Shivarajkumar, but fails to put together a smooth screenplay in this heist thriller Ghost

Garudan movie review: Soori shines in Durai Senthilkumar’s Garudan, a raw rural drama with intense performances and a neatly woven script.

It is in getting this mix between humour and emotion right that Nithish Sahadev’s debut directorial elevates itself above the average comedy-drama and turns it into a heartwarming tale

Suri’s ‘Bad Manners,’ starring Abhishek Ambareesh, begins with a gripping portrayal of a town known for making guns, but the actioner soon fizzles out owing to shoddy writing

The debutant actor is dashing in action sequences, but director Santhosh Ananddram’s routine story stops this film from being an all-out entertainer

Anil Kumar’s rural comedy-drama plays to the strength of its hero, but for those looking for something beyond a series of silly gags, ‘Upadhyaksha’ offers nothing much

‘Raayan’ movie review: In his sophomore directorial, Dhanush attempts to turn an ordinary story into something more with a well-written setting and measured storytelling but falls disappointingly short

Malayalam action film ‘Marco’ scores on the technical aspects such as the stylised stunts, cinematography and background score; the writing, however, flounders

Krishnam Pranaya Sakhi movie review: Starring Ganesh and Malavika Nair, director Srinivas Raju’s ‘Krishnam Pranaya Sakhi’ is predictable and fails to offer anything new

'KishKindha Kaandam' is a layered mystery-drama with captivating performances and a flawless screenplay, a must-watch in Malayalam cinema.

Many intriguing ideas get diluted in Suriya’s jarring ‘Kanguva,’ which succumbs to convoluted writing and incoherent making

With ‘Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil,’ director Vipin Das gives us a mindless fun ride with hardly a pause in between, thanks to his two lead actors, but the film finally ends up as average fare

Directed by and starring Vijay in the lead, ‘Bheema’ partially manages to be typical commercial entertainer successfully conveying a noble message

‘Bagheera’ movie review: Directed by Dr Suri, Srii Murali’s ‘Bagheera’ is an entertaining superhero story of a masked vigilante, elevated by Chethan D Souza’s stunts and Ajaneesh Loknath’s terrific sore

Ayalaan movie review: Director R Ravikumar’s sophomore film, while lacking freshness, explores a light-hearted treatment of a heavy topic with an alien and a timid man forming an odd friendship.

Sundar C makes a much-needed comeback with the most intriguing addition to the ‘Aranmanai’ franchise, thanks to an engaging plot headlined by Tamannaah

In a character that’s both vulnerable but still has enough in him to rise to the occasion, Ajith Kumar is fantastic in Magizh Thirumeni’s ‘Vidaamuyarchi’, a middling, predictable actioner.

Tourist Family is a heartwarming Tamil film that explores family dynamics with humour and emotion.

Starring Sharan and directed by Karvaa Navaneeth, ‘Choo Mantar’ is a watchable horror drama that needed a fine balance of jump scares and suspense

Alappuzha Gymkhana does not deliver much of the latter but makes up with a relatable tale that spares a thought for those not cut out to win.

While Arjun Janya’s ‘45’ dives into themes about life and death through a modern lens, it gets lost in its own complexity, leaving its lead actors Shivarajkumar, Upendra and Raj B Shetty to save the ambitious movie
