Porinju Mariam Jose Movie Review: Joshiy’s Comeback Is Set In The 80’s And It Should Have Stayed There
This film has a way of losing its specificity with each passing scene. We get another powerless priest, another corrupt cop and another reckless rowdy.
Yomeddine Movie Review: A Heartbreaking Story Told With Profound Empathy
The film is a buddy movie, a road movie, a character study and a coming-of-age movie all rolled into one
Kennedy Club Movie Review: Bharathiraja And M Sasikumar Feature In A Dull Sports Drama From Suseenthiran
Every aspect of the film is weighted down with indifference. The writing can barely bring itself to imbue shades into the characters.
Lessons Life Taught Me Unknowingly- An Autobiography Review: An Exhausting Attempt at Caricature
Anupam Kher’s autobiography is an exercise in hubris, and reads like a Wikipedia page with just a faint, beating heart
Munirathna Kurukshetra Movie Review: Darshan And Arjun Star In A Thoroughly Mediocre Take On The Epic

Ambili Movie Review: A Fairly Engaging Road Movie That Loses Its Way
It’s a film that could have worked just as well had it not taken itself so seriously. It has many wonderful moments culminating in a really moving climax, but the film doesn’t seem to be satisfied with that
Ranarangam Movie Review: A Crime Thriller That Depends On Sharwanand Much More Than Its Story
Long after you’ve exited the movie hall, you’ll remember the theme music (it’s still ringing in my head) and Sharwanand’s hairstyle. For some reason, it looks like a cobra’s hood, and it’s not a compliment in any manner
Comali Movie Review: Jayam Ravi Stars In A Badly Written Comedy…Or Drama…Or Heist Thriller…Or Something
It’s hard to classify this severely underwhelming film because the director himself isn’t sure what he’s making
Batla House Movie Review: A Semi-Effective Police Portrait That Commits To Its Hero
Batla House is forced to take a stand. And it does, in good conscience. Which is more than can be said about other Hindi movies of whitewashed history
Mission Mangal Movie Review: A Silly Space Cadet Of A Film
It’s hard to make intelligence look entertaining. But it’s harder to make intelligence look stupid. And yet, this is exactly what Mission Mangal manages to do
