Dude

Dude

2025 · TheFederal · Oct 2025

Dude excels in its comedic set pieces, which are executed with precision and infectious energy. The performances, particularly by Sarathkumar and the lead pair, are a major draw, making the film an entertaining watch.

Idli Kadai

Idli Kadai

2025 · TheFederal · Oct 2025

Anchored by Rajkiran's stirring performance and Dhanush's sensitive storytelling, this rustic tale of roots, ahimsa, and reconciliation is nourishing, but it doesn't always bring new flavours to the table.

2025 · TheFederal · May 2025

Suriya stuns while Pooja Hegde puts out her career-best. In an experimental approach, Karthik Subbaraj subtly conveys multiple things in the mainstream format through his characters.

Chithha

Chithha

2023 · TheFederal · Sep 2023

'Chithha' is an emotionally arresting thriller that stands out by taking a fresh approach to the revenge drama genre, tackling the crucial topic of child abuse with a water-tight screenplay, intelligent writing, and towering performances. In the end, 'Chithha' will go down as one of the best Tamil films of this year. It is a must watch for its message, exemplary writing and performances.

Sigaram Thodu

Sigaram Thodu

2014 · CinemaLead · Sep 2014
