Something Something Review

A sure way for a writer to show his dumbness is to not have a sense of proportion.  Janardhana Maharshi displayed it in ample proportion in last week's release, 'Pavitra'.  In this film,...

Theatre Lo Review

Two comedies can be entirely different, two romances can be distinct, there are many styles in which villainy and gore can be depicted in the case of the action genre, but horror movies cannot be...

Pavitra Review

A prostitute-turned-independent MLA, whose support will decide whether X party will form the government and still suggestive in her demeanour and dressing, makes her way into the private chamber of...

Prema Katha Chitram Review

If one has to coin a punchline for the latest mongreal film in the town, it is this: Rape Katha Chitram.  'Prema Katha Chitram' is a kind of a story which a Trivikram Srinivas would not give a...

Iddarammayilatho Review

To repeat the phrase "Old wine in a new bottle" is akin to stating a self-evident truth for the umpteenth time when it comes to some of our overrated filmmakers.  Even someone as remarkable a...

Tadakha Review

Those who lapped up the delectably commercial part in 'Vettai' might want to watch 'Thadaka' expecting something more, but it must be borne in mind that the Telugu version is a dumbed down version...

Sukumarudu Review

Most of them might laugh if someone finds in 'Sukumarudu' flashes of serious entertainment.  That is there for sure.  Ashok G seems to be thinking that males who are 40 and beyond, and who...

Greekuveerudu Review

In these days of Meher Rameshs, it is heartening to see a rare Dasarath who has conviction in his little story line.  The awful news is that the classy maker of Santosham fame believed too much...

Shadow Review

We have been treated to more than enough number of mafia-based films where bomb blast conspiracies are frivolously hatched by just one don and his cohorts.  In real life there are Al Quedas,...

NH 4 Review

There are subjects which only a Tamil filmmaker is good at dealing efficiently.  NH4 belongs to this class.  The genre is romantic thriller but there is a difference to it.  Except...

Gouravam Review

Ten-to-15 minutes into the film, anyone would think that the reason why Radha Mohan christened his story as 'Gouravam' is because the hero stirs the conscience of the oppressed, educates them,...

Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde Review

The film, to start with, dangerously begins to feel like another 'Lovely' via the 2G network but Vijay Kumar Konda (the debutante director) veers the story on a surprisingly unpredictable path as...

Jai Sreeram Review

There was a time when, if the director was not a Teja, or a VN Aditya, Uday Kiran looked as though he was doing rehearsals in front of the camera.  Since he looked promising in his first three...

Baadshah Review

  Would a hero who has averted serial blasts in multiple Indian cities look God-like when the mastermind's empire had been built till recently by the generous casino money unscrupulously looted...

Jaffa Review

Unlike his directorial debut, 'Vennela' Kishore has seamlessly captured the attention of the audience for Jaffa, having chosen a slang word with an offending connotation as the title of a...

Aravind 2 Review

Did you wonder how characters in mortal danger exercise exceptional presence of mind while watching a thriller any time in the past?  You will understand how much of a haranguing experience...

Swamy Ra Ra Review

If you did not squander away your precious time on unproductive Sundays and instead chose to jot down the scenes of all the chase-for-the-coveted-price movies, you might have successfully brought...

Priyathama Neevachata Kusalama Review

Having seen films that reflect true-to-life thinking of average girls in YVM and RLS did not do so well as was expected, one began to feel that there is no incentive for penning love stories...

Bad Boy Review

Right from the word go, one thing is very clear in Alex Pandiyan - its commercialism. Director Suraaj's script is typical for an action entertainer in Kollywood, and we have seen numerous such...

3G Love Review

One did expect a sprightly take on the vagaries/superfluity of new age love (for want of a better word) because the title itself suggested that.  3G Love, it turns out, shakes up all the well...
