Modha Rathiri
2026 · New Indian Express
Modha Rathri, replete with love, laughs and entertaining characters, gives courtship a chance in a hurried arranged marriage, finding a tiny room for two people to get smitten
Meesaya Murukku 2
2026 · Cinema Express
Meesaya Murukku 2 deserves plaudits for speaking up for artists without a background and pointing out how the independent scene is becoming increasingly corporatised, defeating its very purpose. But it forces this conflict into a simplistic hero-villain template, pitting Carnatic music against Gaana and Hiphop, as though the latter are merely contemporary alternatives to an older tradition, rather than musical forms with their own histories, traditions and evolving identities.
Sigma
2026 · Cinema Express
Sigma is a curious amalgamation of everything and nothing. Yet, for all its elaborate plotting and big action set-pieces, Jason Sanjay's directorial debut rarely settles on what kind of film it wants to be. The film is a classic case of how ideas can only take a film so far.
Other Mommy
2026 · Cinema Express
Pretty much like its theme, Other Mommy is highly imperfect as it pulls itself in too many directions, attempting to look profound and also be a pulpy horror. The film is not an excellent horror, but you can't hate it for its imperfections either.
Mandaadi
2026 · Cinema Express
With powerful performances, emotional exchanges and cultural documentation, the film renews the bond between the sea and the fishers, with the rest making the narrative slips negligible. That's the biggest trophy Mandaadi wins.
Immortal
2026 · Cinema Express · Sep 2026
There is always something refreshing about a horror film that knows how to entertain while keeping things simple.
Anbe Diana
2026 · Cinema Express · Jul 2026
The film is at once familiar, flawed and pleasantly fuzzy, embracing a fairytale-like optimism even when its characterisations and screenplay falter
Maargan
2025 · Cinema Express · Jun 2025
Surprises outweigh flaws in this smart thriller
