#Cult poster

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

"Cult" is neither a conventional action film nor a typical mass entertainer. It is a slasher thriller, a genre built around graphic violence and brutal killings...

418 poster
4182.5/5

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Despite these shortcomings, 418 works to an extent. Its effective flashback, Chaitra Achar's performance and sound design make parts of the film engaging.

Garividi Lakshmi poster

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Despite Anandhi's strong performance and the effective use of folk music, the film makes for a largely tedious watch. On the whole, Garividi Lakshmi is a sincere attempt to document the life and contribution of a folk artist.

Crazy Kalyanam poster

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Crazy Kalyanam benefits from strong performances by Anupama Parameswaran and VK Naresh, and its underlying message has merit.

Ranabaali poster
Ranabaali2.25/5

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

On a whole, Vijay Deverakonda's sincere effort and the director's intentions are evident, but the predictable treatment and tedious narration make it mostly boring.

Jailer 2 poster
Jailer 22.75/5

2026 · Tamil · Great Andhra

The routine second half, artificial emotions and largely ineffective cameos pull the film down. It may offer enough for Rajinikanth's fans to enjoy in parts, but it does not match the impact of its predecessor.

Comrade Kalyan poster

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

"Comrade Kalyan" has some entertaining moments, particularly because of Satya and Sree Vishnu. But the film never becomes the full-fledged comedy that its title and premise promise.

Sigma poster
Sigma1.5/5

2026 · Tamil · Great Andhra

Sigma is a patience testing thriller let down by weak writing, poor characterisation and an unnecessarily stretched narrative. What could have been an engaging money-heist thriller instead turns into a tedious watch.

Anumana Pakshi poster

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Overall, Anumana Pakshi is painfully boring from beginning to end. It is meant to be a comedy, but it delivers far more irritation than laughter. Comedy films can survive even with a thin plot if the jokes work.

The Paradise poster

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

The Paradise turns out to be a messy action drama with little redeeming points. What begins with considerable promise eventually turns into a long, predictable and tiring watch.

Sardar 2 poster

2026 · Tamil · Great Andhra

Sardar 2 is another disappointing spy thriller from Indian cinema. It is Karthi's War 2 moment; bland, overlong and thoroughly boring.

Maremma poster
Maremma1.5/5

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

With Maadhav's expressionless performance, weak narration and ineffective humour, Maremma, set in 2006, ultimately turns into a tedious watch.

Romanchakam poster

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Overall, "Romanchakam" is a mixed bag. It offers several fun moments and keeps the first half light and entertaining, but the second half is dragged out and the film lacks a serious approach to its core conflict.

Irumudi poster

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Irumudi works as a content-driven emotional action drama. The father-daughter relationship is handled with genuine emotion, while the Ayyappa Swamy Deeksha thread is blended into the narrative in a way that gives the film a…

Vishwanath & Sons poster

2026 · Tamil · Great Andhra

Vishwanath and Sons has its moments, particularly in the first half. However, the lengthy runtime, formulaic scenes and uneven second half prevent it from becoming a completely engaging family drama.

Agadha poster
Agadha2.25/5

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Overall, “Agadha” does not provide excitment. It neither scares nor thrills consistently. Apart from the kala tantra episode and a few portions in the second half, it remains a routine horror drama.

DC poster
DC3/5

2026 · Tamil · Great Andhra

Overall, DC is a gritty action drama powered by Anirudh's music, strong visuals and a confident acting debut from Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Korean Kanakaraju poster

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Korean Kanakaraju is a mixed bag. It offers an entertaining pre-interval stretch, sincere performances from Varun Tej and Satya, and an interesting core concept.

Srinivasa Mangapuram poster

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

The entire first half of the film shocks us with its dull presentation, and even after the interval, the twist is hardly surprising, leaving audiences wondering if all the buildup was merely for this formulaic writing.

Chennai Love Story poster

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

After setting things up beautifully before the interval, the film gradually slips into familiar territory. While the second half doesn't completely go haywire, most of it turns predictable.

Rao Bahadur poster

2026 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Rao Bahadur is a sincere attempt to tell a story in a distinctive manner. The idea is admirable, and the climax justifies much of the film’s thematic ambition, with Satyadev delivering a performance worthy of applause.

Brahmotsavam poster

2016 · Telugu · Great Andhra

"Brahmotsavam" tests the patience with its idiotic scenes, directionless screenplay, and snail-paced romantic thread. If not for Mahesh Babu's presence, the film collapses completely.

Sarrainodu poster

Allu Arjun and Boyapati have come up with an out and out mass movie that has no great scenes. Bottom-line: Too Loud

Oopiri poster
Oopiri3.5/5

2016 · Telugu · Great Andhra

The movie is filled with many emotional moments all the while keeping humor intact. This is the director's movie. And Karthi's show all the way. Despite length, "Oopiri" is one of the best made heart-touching movies in Tollywood.

Garam poster

2016 · Telugu · Great Andhra

There are some twists in the second half, but by that time we disconnect with the happenings on screen. Added to it, the music and the chemistry between Aadi and Adah don't excite.

Speedunnodu poster

2016 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Unlike "Sudigaadu" Bhimaneni has not come up with perfect remake and unlike "Alludu Seenu" Bellamkonda has come up with a story that is too heavy for him.

Dictator poster

2016 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Director Sri Wass and writers have failed Balakrishna. All in all, "Dictator" is a mess. Except for Balakrishna and Anjali's presence, the movie doesn't have anything to talk about. Bottom-line: Old Wine In Old Bottle!

Nannaku Prematho… poster

2016 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Nannaku Prematho is mixed bag – with some stunning moments, breezy romance, and intelligent screenplay and yet it burdens the mind with some unnecessary scenes, lengthy second half. Bottomline: Too Classy and too brainy!

Overall, the pleasant presentation by director Kishore Tirumala with good dialogues, catchy tunes by Devi Sri Prasad and beautiful presence of Keerthi Suresh, Nenu Sailaja works.

2014 · Telugu · Great Andhra

Barring audiences who don't mind watching an overdose of fights, few jokes, two build-up songs, one beautiful heroine; Rough is not for the ordinary viewer.
