Baby Girl
2026 · The Hindu
What ultimately brings it down is the treatment, which has 'dated' written all over it, be it in the visual style or the editing patterns or the background score. With the thriller track losing steam by the halfway mark, the rest of the film plods along with the aid of the emotional drama and a few convenient contrivances. But the dated approach ensures that much of this does not create the intended impact.

2026 · The Hindu
Despite its predictable narrative, Patriot is an engaging and even brave film on a pertinent issue. It is not often that a questioning 'dissident' gets the central role in an Indian film these days.

2026 · The Hindu
The treatment of the film is such that at no point in the story does any of the revelations hit you hard, even when some of them are shocking enough. With its unimaginative and dated approach, Uyir does not break any ground and ends up as a run-of-the-mill police procedural.
