Irumudi
2026 · India Today
The film uses that conflict to anchor a socially conscious thriller that gathers strength in its latter half.
Naari Naari Naduma Murari
2026 · India Today
Naari Naari Naduma Murari quietly delivers a smart, clean family entertainer that relies on situational comedy, strong character writing, and a fresh core idea rather than noise or scale.
Peddi
2026 · India Today
Despite noticeable logic gaps, underdeveloped romance, and uneven editing, the film succeeds where it matters most, emotionally.
Sing Geetham
2026 · India Today
The musical fantasy turns that eccentric premise into a sincere fable about nature, greed and human change.
Raakaasa
2026 · India Today
Raakaasa, directed by Manasa Sharma, blends horror and comedy but struggles with weak writing and forced humour. While performances and production design stand out, the film falls short of its promising premise.
Nagabandham
2026 · India Today
The film sets up a mythological hunt for two sacred relics and a hidden gateway. Its scale and visual ambition are overshadowed by weak writing and thin emotional stakes.
Lenin
2026 · India Today
Its ambition and strong moments are undercut by weak character groundwork and shock-driven twists. Akhil Akkineni's film confuses a good story with a good movie.
Thudakkam
2026 · India Today
Vismaya Mohanlal makes a confident acting debut with Thudakkam. Thudakkam follows Meenu's disappearance into a tense clash with a contract killer, doubling as Vismaya Mohanlal's launch while reflecting cinema's turn towards women who fight back.
