Magudam
2026 · Times Of India
Magudam doesn't end up being the epic that it aspires to be. It is an overstuffed formula film that never quite takes off.
With Love
2026 · Times Of India
A romcom with likeable leads and plenty of charm. Abishan, in his debut as a lead, does justice to the boy-next-door role with his unassuming presence.
Mandaadi
2026 · Times Of India
Mandaadi is an uneven ride but it has enough going for it. The performances are solid, the sailboat [sequence provides visual appeal].
Dude
2025 · Times Of India
Dude is a confident debut film. Even though it may not get a lot of things right, the film makes you curious about what its director is going to make next.
Star
2024 · Times Of India
A well-acted tale about nurturing dreams that keeps you invested.
Mura
2024 · Times Of India
Mura provides a good movie-watching experience for those who are more into dynamic action and exciting sequences. A ferocious action drama with a friendship story at the heart of it.
Bison Kaalamaadan
2025 · Times Of India · Oct 2025
Bison, despite its flaws, is meaningful, ambitious and gripping.
Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra
2025 · Times Of India · Aug 2025
Lokah is more about gradual but consistent world-building rather than instant payoffs. It lays the groundwork for a superhero cinematic universe in Malayalam cinema, and it does that with sincerity.
Amaran
2024 · Times Of India · Oct 2024
All said and done, there is no denying that Amaran is a worthy tribute to the legacy of Major Mukund Varadarajan. Even with all the glitches in between, the film makes us cherish and celebrate Mukund and the courageous officer he was.
Maharaja
2024 · Times Of India · Jun 2024
Vijay Sethupathi is wonderful in his 50th film, and he has a well-written role at his disposal. The makers have definitely put in extra effort in conceptualising his character, as almost all the actions that he does and almost all the dialogues that he says have a payoff.
