There is little to like in this noisy, gory Vishal film.

Annapoorani

Annapoorani

2023 · The News Minute · Dec 2023

Despite its imperfect politics and occasional logical fallacies, Annapoorani makes for a refreshing watch, reminiscent of the wholesome, slice-of-life Tamil films before the era of big guns, ear-shattering explosions, and blood spill. Nayanthara is the soul of Annapoorani, skillfully embodying the range that the character demands.

Chithha

Chithha

2023 · The News Minute · Sep 2023

Despite minor flaws, Chithha is a necessary watch and a masterclass on how movies on child sexual assault can be sensitive and engaging without constantly triggering the audience. The film deserves praise for portraying child sexual abuse sensitively, with no triggering, disturbing visuals of the assaulted children shown.
