Iraivan
2023 · New Indian Express · Sep 2023
The screenplay of Iraivan hardly leaves any breathing space and the solid performances manage to keep us on the edge of our seats for a significant part. Though there is a lot to laud about the film's technical departments, it is hard not to notice consistent issues in the dubbing and logical loopholes in the writing.
Pichaikkaran 2
2023 · Cinema Express · May 2023
Unfortunately, this over-ambitious genre-blender is mounted on fragile, uninventive writing and sadly, the result is a total opposite of the much-loved prequel. The much-teased second half turns out to be a major letdown as the story takes a complete U-turn and becomes a tedious, fanciful lecture on poverty eradication.
Dada
2023 · New Indian Express · Feb 2023
Dada is almost like a marriage between a Radha Mohan film and a Selavaraghavan film. The film is emotional but is equally fun with a strong undercurrent of tasteful humour. Such good writing is ably handled by its impressive cast.
Varisu
2023 · Cinema Express · Jan 2023
Director Vamshi Paidipally and Co have given this age-old recipe a refreshing twist by adding an ample dose of self-awareness and humour. An in-form Vijay and the self-awareness of the film make up for the shortcomings despite occasional tonal inconsistencies.
