Srikanth
2024 · The News Minute
Despite Rajkummar Rao's affable performance, 'Srikanth' is unconvincing. The writing is so bland and filled with broad strokes that there are no layers to any of the characters, resulting in a screenplay that feels like a quick scan of Srikanth's CV and nothing more rather than a genuine exploration of him as a person.

Tovino's superhero film is thoroughly entertaining
Chhapaak
2020 · The News Minute
Deepika is exceptional, her speech and body language closely matching Laxmi's; the understated performance builds up Malti as a quiet force, difficult to subdue despite how fragile she seems. Chhapaak is neither a happy weekend watch nor a film on 'woman empowerment' headlined by a male star. But it's a film that deserves to be watched because it forces us to look at a reality that only appears as a tiny column in the newspaper, and it's good cinema.

2026 · NewsLaundry · Mar 2026
Pakistani politics, which was at the heart of Part 1, becomes a minor plot point; Lyari is largely forgotten. Narendra Modi's elevation to Prime Minister and demonetisation take centrestage instead.

Music and good production values are the plusses of the film. Overall, Nee Jathaga Nenundali' is now here close to the original Aashiqui 2.Slow, but watchable
Kochadaiiyaan
2014 · Sify · May 2014
Kochadaiiyaan is an experiment in many ways, not in the least because it's a new way for Rajinikanth to entertain his ever-hungry fans. Has Soundarya pulled it off? Not quite. But it's still worth a watch if you'd like to see the Superstar immortalized in a way like he's never been before.
