Sardar 2
2026 · Cinema Express
Sardar 2 is thematically dense but emotionally thin, relying on familiar tropes that cycle through cinema much like social media trends, returning with a nostalgic quality but lacking the emotional depth needed to truly resonate.
Con City
2026 · Indian Express
While the primary cast members make the writing issues bearable with their performances, Con City could have been a much better film with ruthless script editing.
Idhayam Murali
2026 · New Indian Express
With the right dose of nostalgia baiting, Idhayam Murali gives you a wholesome romantic comedy that traces the misadventures of a true-blue 'Idhayam Murali' type who stumbles and falls his way upwards in pursuit of his one true love
Dude
2025 · Cinema Express · Oct 2025
It is perhaps easier to hit out at issues like casteism and patriarchy in social dramas than in fun commercial entertainers.
Maareesan
2025 · Cinema Express · Jul 2025
Right around the interval mark, Maareesan takes the sharpest and most abrupt ninety-degree turn in terms of tone and genre, derailing what had been a pleasant ride with a string of unpleasant surprises.
3BHK
2025 · Cinema Express · Jul 2025
3BHK is an unconvincing advertisement for middle-class success, failing to convincingly portray the struggles and aspirations it attempts to highlight.
Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2
2025 · Cinema Express · Mar 2025
This intense actioner builds intrigue by the minute.
Lover
2024 · Cinema Express · Feb 2024
Lover is a straightforward film about love, decay, attachment, and letting go but the straightforwardness is handled with a refreshing dose of conviction. Lover fumbles in places where it tries to wring the 'point' out of a scene but excels in places where a lot is unsaid or unfinished and yet a lot more shines through the subtext.
