Veera Simha Reddy
2023 · Indian Express
This Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer has no soul. The troubling part of Veera Simha Reddy, by that token most of Balakrishna's movies, is that it argues it's okay to kill to solve a problem.
Waltair Veerayya
2023 · Indian Express
Neither Chiranjeevi nor Ravi Teja can save this film from drowning in shallowness. The filmmakers don't want the audience to respond to the character Waltair Veerayya, but they want us to venerate before the star playing Waltair Veerayya.
Pushpa: The Rise
2021 · Indian Express
Allu Arjun walks away with the film with his strong performance. He embraces his deglamorized look and delivers a memorable performance.
Jai Bhim
2021 · Indian Express
Suriya inhabits the role of a firebrand advocate with ease. It is as if he's not just performing the lines written by the director, but believes in every word and gesture he delivers in this film.
KGF-1
2018 · Indian Express
The impressively-mounted sets make up for Prashanth Neel's flimsy storyline. Composer Ravi Basrur lifts up the scenes with his terrific background orchestra.
The Greatest of All Time
2024 · Desimartini · Sep 2024
Venkat Prabhu's big swing with Thalapathy Vijay fizzles.
Captain Miller
2024 · Ottplay · Jan 2024
Captain Miller may be set in the period of the British Raj, but the themes, concepts and issues that it deals with feel timely and relevant.
