The Warriorr (2022) 17% EDIT “The Warriorr took me down a nostalgia trip I never wanted to go down to. It has all the elements of an early 2000s Telugu cinema and barely any nuance or twist expected in contemporary cinema.” – Film Companion Nov 20, 2023 Full Review Veera Simha Reddy (2023) 40% EDIT “Balakrishna’s earlier films such as Simha and Legend, despite using the same beats, attempted to offer something new. But Veera Simha Reddy doesn’t.” – Film Companion Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Thank You (2022) EDIT “Because it is Vikram Kumar who helms the film, I expected something bigger and deeper and definitely more ambitious. Instead what we get is not only his blandest film but his least ambitious film.” – Film Companion Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Das Ka Dhamki (2023) EDIT “The film's concept is not only dated but it also doesn’t manage to bend the framework of the masala template in exciting ways.” – Film Companion Mar 27, 2023 Full Review RRR (2022) 96% EDIT “...goosebumps raising, whiste-worthy, crazy, insane. Did I say outrageous?” – Film Companion Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Sita Ramam (2022) 86% EDIT “Hanu Raghavapudi still struggles with handling the second story but given that he has such likable leads and that he’s so deft at handling love stories, this is easily his finest work. He should be making better films, but for now, he’s made his best.” – Film Companion Aug 9, 2022 Full Review Bimbisara (2022) EDIT “If told like a folk tale and narrated by a storyteller, this story would have been powerful as it has all the makings of a masala film. But the production values never match the director's vision.” – Film Companion Aug 9, 2022 Full Review Rama Rao on Duty (2022) EDIT “But to director Sarath Mandava’s credit, this film is at least as good, if not better than any of Ravi Teja’s recent films. Upon further reflection, I don’t think this film wants to clear a bar higher than that...” – Film Companion Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Virata Parvam (2022) EDIT “A film that wanted to show the inherently violent nature of the status quo and how love feels like a paradox ends up telling a dull romance that’s never as epic as it thinks it is.” – Film Companion Jun 17, 2022 Full Review Shekar (2022) EDIT “Shekar runs out of freshness and sticks to not just the beats but even some of the shots and frames from the original.” – Film Companion May 27, 2022 Full Review F3: Fun and Frustration (2022) EDIT “More problematic than funny...” – Film Companion May 27, 2022 Full Review Acharya (2022) EDIT “Acharya used all the redness for the screen but had no color left for its story. ” – Film Companion May 4, 2022 Full Review Mishan Impossible (2022) EDIT “Telugu cinema has found a great writer in Swaroop RSJ but to do justice to that writing he will have to either trust other directors with his scripts or the director within him has to catch up soon. ” – Film Companion Apr 12, 2022 Full Review Ghani (2022) EDIT “The only knockout punch in the film was the one the audience received while watching the film.” – Film Companion Apr 12, 2022 Full Review Radhe Shyam (2022) 20% EDIT “In Radhe Shyam, Prabhas looks tired, his eyes are droopy, simple dialogues seem laborious, and he just isn’t funny as much as cringey.” – Film Companion Mar 15, 2022 Full Review Bheemla Nayak (2022) 60% EDIT “It is when Bheemla Nayak is at loggerheads with Daniel Shekar (Rana) that you see glimpses of the actor that Pawan Kalyan once was.” – Film Companion Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Bangarraju (2022) EDIT “Somewhere in here is a great masala story teller who clearly cares for the audience. But like a distracted student, he veers into unnecessary comedy angles which border on cringe and struggles to utilise the talent that's available to him.” – Film Companion Jan 31, 2022 Full Review Republic (2021) EDIT “If the movie was just two-and-a-half hours of Ramya Krishnan berating the world with a smug look, it would still be more fun than the actual story.” – Film Companion Oct 8, 2021 Full Review
