Waltair Veerayya

2023 · PinkVilla · Jan 2023

The film under review scrapes the bottom of the barrel in its attempt to give a saturated experience - an exaggeration it calls 'poonakalu loading'. Most of the time, the attempts fall flat. The problem is that it doesn't get other essential ingredients right. The comedy is insipid and Devi Sri Prasad's songs hinge too much on the Mega charm.

Thunivu

Thunivu

2023 · PinkVilla · Jan 2023

Larger-than-life and ambitious 'Thunivu' is somewhat of a noisy film with a few superfluous and many convenient ideas. Yet, it works because of its lead man, larger-than-life action, and some plot points.
