Vaazha 2
2026 · PinkVilla
Vaazha 2 may not be for everyone, but if you enjoy a near-perfect blend of humor, bromance, slice-of-life storytelling, and nostalgia, it is certainly worth your time. The film works mainly because of the impressive USP it carries forward as a franchise, presenting a relatable and grounded story that viewers may recognize from everyday life.
I, Nobody
2026 · PinkVilla
I, Nobody is far from a perfect film, particularly because of its uneven second half and underwhelming conclusion. Even so, its engaging storytelling, strong performances, and entertaining action make it a worthwhile theatrical watch.
Blast
2026 · PinkVilla
Blast is a solid experience for action cinema lovers, making it an enjoyable watch even on OTT platforms. Staying true to its title, Blast is surely a power-packed venture filled with impressive action sequences that maintains its momentum even when the story becomes somewhat predictable.
Sardar 2
2026 · PinkVilla
While research-driven and packaged as an action thriller, Sardar 2 lacks the necessary punch. When compared with the first instalment, or even when considered as an independent film, it fails to establish a strong emotional connection with the audience, making the film feel slow at various moments. Sardar 2 loses sight of its own scale and becomes overly ambitious in its storytelling.
DC
2026 · PinkVilla
DC is an exhilarating blend of action and raw intensity. Backed by strong technical execution, impressive performances, and loosely adapted elements from the classic Devadas, this action entertainer is well worth experiencing in theaters, especially if you're a fan of straightforward, high-energy action films.
Eko
2025 · PinkVilla
While Eko is a slow-burning mystery thriller that takes its time to shape up and may not appeal to every kind of audience, it offers an intriguing, introspective experience, prompting viewers to question what the truth truly is. Even so, the film is brilliant in its intent and concept, making it a must-watch, perhaps even better than Kishkindha Kaandam.
Kalamkaval
2025 · PinkVilla · Dec 2025
Kalamkaval may not offer anything fresh from a story perspective, but it is still a must-watch, solely for Mammootty, and to witness how a 74-year-old superstar continues to break stereotypes in conventional commercial cinema. Despite having a strong plot, the film offers nothing new from a storytelling perspective, with a slow narrative and predictable cat-and-mouse chase that becomes routine.
Kaantha
2025 · PinkVilla · Nov 2025
Kaantha boasts an impressive ensemble cast with standout performances, but the film suffers primarily from inconsistent execution—while the first half progresses smoothly, once it shifts into the investigative thriller genre, the film loses direction and momentum weakens.
Madharaasi
2025 · PinkVilla · Sep 2025
Madharaasi is a thrilling action entertainer that delivers brief cinematic highs but lacks emotional and narrative depth. While the story had the potential of becoming the next 'Kaththi,' or 'Thuppakki,' the film fell short in execution.
Thug Life
2025 · PinkVilla · Jun 2025
Thug Life is nowhere close to being the next Nayakan, nor does it supersede it. While the movie has certain moments from an action perspective, it lacks the flair that matches its substance, making it one of the weakest films by Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam.
L2: Empuraan
2025 · PinkVilla · Mar 2025
L2: Empuraan is undoubtedly a clean-cut entertainer packing quite the punch with its narrative. The movie, which is part of a planned trilogy, focuses on the aspects of bettering itself from its predecessor and takes on a tone unlike anything else done before in Malayalam cinema.
Kanguva
2024 · PinkVilla · Nov 2024
Kanguva is surely one of the weakest movies to come out of Suriya's filmography over the years. The predictable and over-the-top screenplay which was coupled with the poor execution makes the film hard to watch.
Amaran
2024 · PinkVilla · Oct 2024
Amaran is truly an immortal tale of a soldier whose legacy will pass on as an inspiration for many leaders and soldiers. With strong performances and characterizations, this biographical war film is worth a watch on the big screens.
Vettaiyan
2024 · PinkVilla · Oct 2024
The movie Vettaiyan is simply a complete Rajinikanth show that is embedded with apt content to be conveyed. Along with him, Fahadh Faasil has also managed use to entertain us with his wit and charm, adding another layer to his long list of acting capabilities. However, Vettaiyan despite being an investigative tale does have its share of problems in various instances, with the film failing to keep the momentum it had in its narration in the second half, lagging behind in many instances.
Saripodhaa Sanivaaram
2024 · PinkVilla · Aug 2024
Saripodhaa Sanivaaram is a well-crafted commercial Telugu film that tastefully balances the flavors of action, masala, humor, and drama. The true powerhouse and backbone of the entire film is Nani, who lives up to his nickname of 'Natural Star.' Even then, it is the devilish SJ Suryah who has once again proven that he could create a menacing and villainous demeanor with a simple smile.
Kalki 2898-AD
2024 · PinkVilla · Jun 2024
Kalki 2898 AD is a glorious epic feast with Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan capturing everyone's attention through their powerful performances and stellar screen presence.
Aavesham
2024 · PinkVilla · Apr 2024
Fahadh Faasil unleashes a storm with unhinged performance in this comedy flick, delivering an entertaining and engaging film that is worth a watch.
