With Love
2026 · Indian Express
With Love is the kind of film that won't blow you away with spectacle, but it will sit quietly in your chest for days afterward. It's a film about looking back at the people who shaped you without realizing it, about the courage it takes to say what you feel, and about the strange, wonderful possibility that the right person might have been there all along, you just weren't ready to see them yet.
Kara
2026 · Indian Express
Vignesh Raja's period heist drama is like watching two films. The first half is gripping, tense and emotionally precise. The second tests your patience. Dhanush, as always, makes them both worth watching.
Made in Korea
2026 · Indian Express
Made in Korea keeps playing it safe when it should have been brave enough to go deeper. You leave it feeling pleasant rather than moved, entertained rather than affected. For a film that begins with the image of a girl climbing an elephant for a signal, that is a little disappointing.
Peddi
2026 · Indian Express
Buchi Babu Sana comes into his second film with a genuinely interesting idea at its core, and Ram Charan makes the most of it. But at 189 minutes, Peddi carries too much weight in the wrong places, and not enough where it counts.
Karuppu
2026 · Indian Express
One of Suriya's strongest performances in years is delivered in a film that is only half as good as he is. Suriya is why this film works and why he is worth watching. Karuppu is flawed in ways it cannot hide. But it has Suriya at his most committed, a first half that delivers, and enough big moments to make the ticket worth it.
Maa Inti Bangaram
2026 · Indian Express
Samantha Ruth Prabhu finally lands on solid ground after the misfires of Shaakuntalam and Yashoda. The action carries the film, even when the emotional writing struggles to keep pace.
Sing Geetham
2026 · Indian Express
The result is fantastical, ambitious, and unlike anything Telugu cinema has put on screen before.
