Srivathsan Nadadhur
The Hindu
Agadha
2026 · The Hindu
The impressive craft in Agadha is undeniable, but does that make it a genuinely satisfying, value-for-money horror film? Not quite. While the technical crew appears ready to push the bar despite the limitations, and Kamakshi is at home shouldering the proceedings, the writing does not complement their efforts.
Naari Naari Naduma Murari
2026 · The Hindu
Nari Nari Naduma Murari rises above your average rom-com because it has something to say beyond its flashy premise. The need for integrity and honesty in relationships is emphasised neatly, giving it adequate depth. While retaining his strength in verbal comedy, Ram Abbaraju tries his hand at a style of humour that's lighter than Samajavaragamana, and is reasonably successful.
Nagabandham
2026 · The Hindu
For all the effort that has gone into Nagabandham's larger-than-life visual appeal, its core is disappointing. Like several recent films across languages, it works as a clickbait film, conveniently milking a period of communal tension and cashing in on the country's volatile political climate for easy returns.
Ameer Log
The Hindu · Aug 2026
Ameer Log thrives in its irreverent, laidback setting, letting viewers soak in the Hyderabadi way of life through language, humour, food and brotherhood. While the film's storytelling loses its free-spiritedness and veers into predictability after the intermission, it remains a worthy exploration of the lesser-seen side of Hyderabad that wears its heart on its sleeve and never takes itself too seriously.
Akhil - The Power Of Jua
2015 · The Hindu · Nov 2015
You wish the makers tried as sincerely to weave in a solid plot. The love thread gives a glossy topping and lets the male protagonist take centrestage in this context.
