Vadh
Vadh rests on the shoulders of Sanjay and Neena who wonderfully portray the anguish of disappointed parents. While the ending seems a little too neat, it serves the film up into its overall message with its justification for killing, for the right reasons. Sanjay and Neena salvage Vadh with their dignified performances.

Test
R Madhavan, Nayanthara, and Siddharth deliver remarkable performances in this thriller, though the film needed to amp up tension in places to fully capitalize on its compelling premise.

Curry & Cyanide: The Jolly Joseph Case
While the documentary is a powerful narrative of how it went down, it lacks the voice of Jolly Joseph herself. Because we've delved through the 'who' and 'how' parts of the story, the reasoning behind the 'why' aspect is hard to fathom due to the manner and plotting of the killings over time.
