Naa Love Story Review

The rom-com track comes with its share of foibles. The film should have depicted the rom-com track without those doses of forceful kisses....

Shambho Shankara Review

Shankar, who has shed the moniker 'Shakalaka' because he is no longer a funny guy (or so he thinks), is the film's R Narayana Murthy, Sai Kumar, Power Star and Sampoornesh Babu rolled into one....

Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi Review

Whoever tells you Tharun Bhascker has written a true-to-life story is telling you only a half-truth. Becuase 'Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi' is a true-to-a-lucky-life story....

Tik Tik Tik Review

The tendency to feel deja vu for several scenes is natural. But every single scene is portrayed as an inspiration and continues to innovate rather than just copy paste from any other space movie....

Jamba Lakidi Pamba Review

When the film takes on the shades of a quirky family drama towards the climax, doses of patriarchy, masala (in the form of an item song) and preachiness are shoved down our throats....

Sammohanam Review

The biggest strength of 'Sammohanam' lies in the fact that its characters are strongly-etched, they have a thinking process, they respect their world, and they are so expressive....

Naa Nuvve Review

'Naa Nuvve' is a trivial idea stretched beyond a permissible point. The hero's character leaves much to be desired and robs the film of feel with his insouciance and/or idiocy....

Kaala Review

So, where then is the Pa.Ranjith touch? It lies in his (agenda-driven) symbolism. From alternative reading of mythology to convenient allegories, 'Kaala' espouses a particular Macaulayan mindset....

Officer Review

RGV usually avoids run-of-the-mill songs and melodrama yes, but there is an equivalent one to these in his films: yawn-inducing background music....

Raju Gadu Review

The hero's character traits come with exaggerated tropes. The heroine is like an Angel who loves the imperfect hero because, well, some films are meant to be escapist fare....

Abhimanyudu Review

The forte of this film lies in the research done with respect to cyber crimes. Mithran is not telling any done-to-death story of hackers, whose modus operandi is almost always sketchy in our films....

Ammammagarillu Review

A sure way to subject the audience to boredom is to write uni-dimensional characters. In family entertainers like 'Kalisundam Raa', this was effectively avoided....

Nela Ticket Review

Director Kalyan Krishna, taking inspiration from any number of simple-minded films, comes up with his own version of lengthy comedy episodes popularized by Srinu Vaitla....

Kaasi Review

Once he goes in search of his father, the screenplay needed to assume nuance. This would have been ensured, at least to an extent, had two fractured sub-stories not been narrated as flashbacks....

Deadpool 2 Review

David Leitch has achieved the right mix of action, drama and character arc while also maintaining the brand's quality of humor and that is something....

Mehbooba Review

The makers have proudly said that there is a twist in the tale. We waited for the twist to arrive almost till the end, only to realize that it was delivered a few minutes into the second half....

Mahanati Review

The changing equations that defined the relationship between the Savitri-Ganesan duo are the main crux of the biopic. Some scenes come as a revelation....

Naa Peru Surya - Naa Illu India Review

Overcoming the temptation of cliches, the film is a worthy attempt. Vamsi's narration may not be perfect but its niceties are commendable....

Kanam Review

If the suspense factor goes for a toss (why did they call it revenge thriller in the first place?), a showreel of contrived scenes does the film in....

Achari America Yatra Review

With too many loose ends and an ill-designed climax, 'Achari America Yatra' smacks of oldish ideas. The grandpa-granddaughter sentimentality tests patience....
