The Raja Saab
2026 · The News Minute · Jan 2026
The Rajasaab is loud, lazy, and hopelessly outdated.
The Girlfriend
2025 · The News Minute · Nov 2025
Rahul Ravindran’s ‘The Girlfriend’ captures both the pain and the conditioning that define gendered relationships, elevated by Rashmika Mandanna’s career-best performance.
Kingdom
2025 · The News Minute · Jul 2025
Kingdom opens with promise, but the film fails to deliver on its ambitious premise, ultimately lacking the heft needed to sustain its narrative.
Saripodhaa Sanivaaram
2024 · The News Minute · Aug 2024
Barring a few drawbacks, Nani's film is entertaining.
Eagle
2024 · The News Minute · Feb 2024
Great action sequences can't save this hollow Ravi Teja film
Tiger Nageswara Rao
2023 · The News Minute · Oct 2023
Director Vamsee falters in presenting a sensitive subject in a commercial format with Ravi Teja starrer 'Tiger Nageswara Rao'. Instead, he ends up with a heady cocktail of 'KGF' and 'Pushpa'. Presenting a sensitive subject in a commercial format without nuance results in Tiger Nageswara Rao ending up as a lousy film.
BRO
2023 · The News Minute · Jul 2023
Pawan Kalyan appears throughout the film, but that is also what becomes its undoing. The focus on Pawan Kalyan does not allow the director to invest in the actual story or the secondary characters. BRO's lackluster story cannot be redeemed no matter how much effort the team has put in.
Custody
2023 · The News Minute · May 2023
Despite such moments, the film falls short. Though Shiva's motivation comes across unoriginal and weak, Venkat Prabhu manages to shine in many places purely relying on his filmmaking skills, yet the film seems dull in parts due to the lack of slick editing.
Waltair Veerayya
2023 · The News Minute · Jan 2023
Even though Waltair Veerayya works in parts, overall it is an absolute mess. Chiranjeevi's humorous performance might redeem the movie to some extent, but the poor writing weighs down his performance.
