Aavesham

2024 · The Week

If you're in search of a drama adhering to the confines of realism, Aavesham may not be the right pick for you. However, if your intention is to just chill and celebrate in this festival season, the movie won’t disappoint.

Kanguva

2024 · The Week · Nov 2024

Shoddy CGI, lacklustre editing, and amateurish dialogue do no justice to the movie, where you see Suriya return to his usual form.

King of Kotha

King of Kotha

2023 · The Week · Aug 2023

However, the stylised action and mindless violence, on their own, fail to compensate for the film's weak storyline and script. King of Kotha falls short in delivering a more substantial and grander action spectacle than what was presented in the first two acts, and despite Kallarackal's commendable performance, the character of the villain in KoK remains somewhat lacklustre.
