Blast
2026 · Times Of India
The biggest win of debutant director Subash K Raj is knowing exactly when enough is enough.
Khalifa: The Ruler
2026 · Times Of India
Khalifa tells the story of a carefree textile owner whose life flips upside down when a sudden crisis uncovers a startling truth about his family's gold-smuggling past, forcing him to navigate corruption and charisma in unexpected ways.
Ram and Leela
2026 · Times Of India
Ram And Leela is an overdone comedy that manages only a few late laughs, failing to deliver consistent entertainment.
Modha Rathiri
2026 · Times Of India
Predictable village farce with enough funny detours
Hi
2026 · Times Of India
Charm and casting carry a familiar courtship, though the film treads well-worn territory of modern romance without substantial innovation.
Yamudu
2026 · Times Of India
K-town star Suriya raises the bar of a routine cop story with a spirited performance and daredevil [action].
Picture
2026 · Times Of India
A light-hearted Kannada-Tulu family entertainer that blends situational comedy and emotion.
Romanchakam
2026 · Times Of India
This film is a breezy watch if you enjoy youthful romances, friendship-driven comedy and a little chaos.
Anaganaga Oka Raju
2026 · Times Of India
Naveen's spunk provides the spark this rural comedy needs
Love Oh Love
2026 · Times Of India
Love Oh Love preaches balance to its couple while never quite finding its own, caught somewhere between making points and telling a story.
Charukesi
2026 · Times Of India
The film, when at its best, is melodious and painfully soothing, but you wish it found its rhythm.
Kara
2026 · Times Of India
Kara doesn't reinvent anything, and it doesn't pretend to. It's skillful execution and strong performance that anchors a confident slow-burn.
Kattalan
2026 · Times Of India
All roar, little soul in this emotionally flat film
Heartin
2026 · Times Of India
Heartin makes no grand impression as it plays, but it is sincere and unfussy, the kind of film you will enjoy if you are in the mood for a simple, honest love story.
Angikaaram
2026 · Times Of India
What keeps it watchable is Rajesh. For a producer turned actor, his debut is committed and physically convincing, with a real athlete's build and effort behind it. Ghibran's score works hard to pump in an urgency the writing mostly lacks. The subject, the way institutional politics smothers talent from the bottom rungs, deserves a film.
Con City
2026 · Times Of India
There's nothing here you haven't seen, but the cast makes the familiar go down smooth. Con City is happy being a decent hang, and you might be too.
Drishyam 3
2026 · Times Of India
That emotional manipulation of morality remains the core strength of the franchise, and perhaps also its only strength in this installment, as the narrative largely relies on predictability and lack of suspense.
Habeebi
2026 · Times Of India
Habeebi is sincere and often lovely to look at, and viewers who know this world from the inside may find it engaging, but the film overdoes the sentiment and relies too heavily on melodrama to carry its narrative.
Arulvaan
2026 · Times Of India
Arulvaan is a message film first and a movie second, and it never hides the order of its priorities.
Pluto
2026 · Times Of India
Instead of embracing the limitless possibilities of its premise, 'Pluto' retreats into a safe, familiar narrative that fails to deliver the imaginative sci-fi experience one might expect from an alien-themed story.
Photographer
2026 · Times Of India
Ashraf clearly trusts the spell he's casting; a little less faith and a little more ruthlessness in execution would have made this a far more compelling watch.
Ayogya 2
2026 · Times Of India
Ayogya 2 is a formulaic sequel that falls short of its potential, failing to capture the charm and engagement of its predecessor while relying on predictable plot devices and underdeveloped character arcs.
Kadhalikka Neramillai
2025 · Times Of India
Ravi and Nithya Menen's updated OK Kanmani romance is bold & breezy. Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi pens a romance that reflects the confusion of the present generation.
Maargan
2025 · Times Of India
Maargan is a competently assembled piece of genre filmmaking. It's a good crime thriller if you need one, but it misses the hook that would make it a memorable watch.
Aaromaley
2025 · Times Of India
Aaromaley hits its marks without breaking a sweat. The romance resolves, the laughs arrive on schedule.
Andhra King Taluka
2025 · Times Of India
A fan-adoration tale that wavers but ends warmly. Watch it if you enjoy earnest fan-centric dramas with warm emotional moments and can overlook the problematic aspects.
Stephen
2025 · Times Of India
Whatever qualms one has about some of the dragged-out sequences, this film offers a peculiar experience with a disturbingly interesting serial killer character in an investigative thriller that tests patience.
Demonte Colony 2
2024 · Times Of India
Demonte Colony 2 is arguably one of the most compelling sequels to come out in Tamil cinema.
Rifle Club
2024 · Times Of India
Dileesh, Vijayaraghavan & Vani Vishwanath's charisma works well in this massy entertainer.
Merry Christmas
2024 · Times Of India
Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif work well together in a film that plays out in a quieter, lighter fashion
Kanguva
2024 · Times Of India
Suriya impresses in a period fantasy that's confused and convoluted.
Rathnam
2024 · Times Of India
It's your typical Hari formula – action-packed, fast-paced, and unrelenting – but even by his standards, the logic takes a backseat in Rathnam.
I Am Kathalan
2024 · Times Of India
Girish has a tendency to portray aimless male protagonists... but here it is explored with more depth
Anweshippin Kandethum
2024 · Times Of India
A slow-burn thriller with a surprising twist
Pranaya Vilasam
2023 · Times Of India
Nikhil Murali and team celebrate enthusiastically the freshness, youthfulness and the magic of first
