Youth (2026) Bhuvanesh Chandar Suraj and Devadarshini deliver clean performances, and Unni and Saroja stay with you and remind you of what true love means, what parenthood in the 21st century is all about, and the harsh truth about societal expectations and social hierarchy.

Aadu 3 (2026) S. R. Praveen Towards the end of the film, the crossing of timelines throws up some interesting encounters, but not consequential enough to elevate the film, which aimlessly meanders for a good part of its runtime.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh (2026) Sangeetha Devi Dundoo Ustaad Bhagat Singh ends up as an example of a narrative that rehashes old formula, heaps it with verbose political messaging and hopes that Pawan Kalyan’s massive fan base will be forgiving and lap it up.

Silent Friend (2025) Ayaan Paul Chowdhury Enyedi has created one of the year’s most eccentric cinematic seductions — a piece of arboreal erotica that would leave your local trees blushing through their leaves.

The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Shreyas Pande The Testament of Ann Lee works best as a musical performance recounting the life and message of the remarkable woman while lacking the gleam of a steady historical, with other contemporary events not as meticulously imagined.

Late Shift (2025) Ayaan Paul Chowdhury ...Volpe uses the grammar of that genre as a starting point and strips away its episodic escalation in favour of a slow, exhausting accumulation of routine tasks that gradually expose how fragile the entire system actually is.

Made in Korea (2026) S. Poorvaja Made In Korea has its heart in the right place and the premise feels fitting; it is the execution that falters.
Posted Mar 12, 2026Edit critic review
The Perfect Neighbor (2025) Pallavi Keswani Gandbhir’s personal connection to the victim led her to document this story, but her nuanced approach successfully builds a wider and necessary interest.

Redux Redux (2025) Ayaan Paul Chowdhury Redux Redux offers up a refreshing sense of proportion within the rapidly crowding field of multiverse storytelling.
Posted Mar 09, 2026Edit critic review
The Love That Remains (2025) Ayaan Paul Chowdhury The Love That Remains approaches family breakdown with patience, curiosity, and an endearing belief that affection survives even after collapse.
Posted Mar 09, 2026Edit critic review
THE BRIDE! (2026) Ayaan Paul Chowdhury The Bride! fascinates even as it frustrates, and its messiness becomes inseparable from its strange charm.

Mrithyunjay (2026) Sangeetha Devi Dundoo The film remains intermittently intriguing but never quite realises its potential to become a standout crime drama.
Posted Mar 08, 2026Edit critic review
Masthishka Maranam (2026) Shilpa Nair Anand ...Krishand’s latest offering is not for everybody. It is chaotic, it is funny, it is absurd and scary. If you like sci-fi, the futuristic satire genre, then go for it.
Posted Mar 03, 2026Edit critic review
The Secret Agent (2025) Ayaan Paul Chowdhury Mendonça Filho’s control over pacing and chronology results in an urgency that absconds at the first sign of spectacle, and in doing so he delivers a work shaped by anger, affection, and a historian’s refusal to let silence stand in for closure.

Arco (2025) Ayaan Paul Chowdhury Adults may find themselves scanning the horizon for the film it almost becomes, though children will likely absorb it whole, carrying its sense of curiosity forward, and that feels like an outcome worth defending.
Posted Feb 28, 2026Edit critic review
Thaai Kizhavi (2026) Bhuvanesh Chandar ...it’s a rollicking, leave-you-in-splits comedy that surprises you every step of its way, has a pressing emotional core, fields for the right progressive register, and leaves you feeling thoroughly satisfied.
Posted Feb 26, 2026Edit critic review
Pennum Porattum (2026) S. R. Praveen ...the film hints at the universal themes that it is reaching for in its hyper-local setting. Rajesh Madhavan is successful to an extent in that endeavour, even though the film briefly loses its way.

Do Deewane Seher Mein (2026) Anuj Kumar Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur fail to rise above flimsy conflicts in this plodding romantic drama, devoid of passion
Posted Feb 25, 2026Edit critic review
Kennedy (2023) Anuj Kumar Anurag Kashyap returns to his raw, uncompromising ways with a ticking-time-bomb of a film that rewards patience
Posted Feb 25, 2026Edit critic review
Assi (2026) Anuj Kumar Led by a fiercely committed ensemble, this moral interrogation of rape culture by filmmaker Anubhav Sinha dissects the anatomy of sexual violation and the perilous world we have built for our children
Posted Feb 25, 2026Edit critic review
O' Romeo (2026) Anuj Kumar It is brooding, bloody, and beautiful in parts, but ‘O’ Romeo’ eventually turns out to be boring and burdened by the filmmaker’s reputation
Posted Feb 25, 2026Edit critic review
Tu Yaa Main (2026) Anuj Kumar Director Bejoy Nambiar finally marries craft with content in a class-crossed romance with a reptilian twist
Posted Feb 25, 2026Edit critic review
Vadh 2 (2026) Anuj Kumar Thoughtful writing and nuanced portrayals by Neena Gupta, Sanjay Mishra, and Kumud Mishra are washed up by execution hiccups in director Jaspal Singh Sandhu’s righteous take on crime and punishment
Posted Feb 25, 2026Edit critic review
Mardaani 3 (2026) Anuj Kumar The socially relevant takedown of the child-trafficking and begging mafia is marred by predictable plot twists, bombast, and antagonists who are less menacing than in previous instalments
Posted Feb 25, 2026Edit critic review
Border 2 (2026) Anuj Kumar Hamstrung by pacing and VFX issues, Anurag Singh’s standalone sequel to J.P. Dutta’s ‘Border’ is affecting but predictable and generic in parts.
Posted Feb 25, 2026Edit critic review
Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos (2026) Anuj Kumar Aspiring to be a clever satire, ‘Happy Patel’ turns out to be more frustrating than fun.
Posted Feb 25, 2026Edit critic review
Couple Friendly (2026) Srivathsan Nadadhur Couple Friendly may not boast a novel plot, but its narrative rhythm is refreshingly mature and modern. It treats both its protagonists as equals and values the minutiae of their lives as well as the big dreams.
Posted Feb 17, 2026Edit critic review
My Lord (2026) Bhuvanesh Chandar The staging and execution feel heavy-handed, and a film like My Lord deserved a better, more realistic courtroom scene. But even here, what shines through is Raju’s noble intention.
Posted Feb 13, 2026Edit critic review
Funky (2026) Srivathsan Nadadhur Funky tries to play with the common man’s curiosity regarding how the film industry operates, but Anudeep struggles to offer a fresh perspective or keep the narrative engaging.
Posted Feb 13, 2026Edit critic review
Ashakal Aayiram (2026) S. R. Praveen An original and organic screenplay is any day a better bet.
Posted Feb 09, 2026Edit critic review
Anomie (2026) S. R. Praveen With too many derivative elements, Anomie fails to achieve its ambitions of being an engaging sci-fi thriller.
Posted Feb 06, 2026Edit critic review
Euphoria (2026) Sangeetha Devi Dundoo Euphoria demands patience in parts, but it remains a timely social drama that engages with pressing questions.
Posted Feb 06, 2026Edit critic review
Scarlet (2025) Ayaan Paul Chowdhury Scarlet remains compelling precisely because its reach exceeds its grasp. Hosoda’s commitment to treating animation as a space for adult moral inquiry persists even when the answers are softened by generality.
Posted Feb 06, 2026Edit critic review
Sri Chidambaram Garu (2026) Srivathsan Nadadhur Sri Chidambaram Garu is a breath of fresh air because it lets the characters become instruments in driving an honest story forward. The naivety, partly intended and partly unintentional, is its secret sauce, helping one overlook the uneventful stretches.
Posted Feb 06, 2026Edit critic review
With Love (2026) Bhuvanesh Chandar With Love, directed by Madhan, is a straightforward rom-com that is aware of the emotional register it is aiming for, but lacks the substance to build to it organically.
Posted Feb 06, 2026Edit critic review
Mayasabha (2025) Shreyas Pande Rahi’s film is fragmented like a sentimental poem. There is so much more to unravel here than to be able to grasp completely in a single watch.

Valathu Vashathe Kallan (2026) S. R. Praveen Although Jeethu’s films are not particularly known for their visual or technical aspects, here the darker tone sits well with the theme until the screenplay spoils the game.
Posted Jan 31, 2026Edit critic review
Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi (2026) Sangeetha Devi Dundoo Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi is a partly fun, partly simmering emotional drama, shouldered by compelling performances from Eesha Rebba and Tharun Bhascker.
Posted Jan 30, 2026Edit critic review
Baby Girl (2026) S. R. Praveen With the thriller track losing steam by the halfway mark, the rest of the film plods along with the aid of the emotional drama and a few convenient contrivances. But the dated approach ensures that much of this does not create the intended impact.
Posted Jan 27, 2026Edit critic review
Cheekatilo (2026) Sangeetha Devi Dundoo Cheekatilo is an engaging, thoughtful drama that finds its strength in empathy rather than spectacle, but it could have benefited from sharper writing.
Posted Jan 24, 2026Edit critic review
Marty Supreme (2025) Ayaan Paul Chowdhury Chalamet plays Marty with a brazen thirst that feels at once, exhausting and magnetic, and the film benefits from his willingness to make ambition look depraved.
Posted Jan 23, 2026Edit critic review
Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies (2026) S. R. Praveen Chatha Pacha gets the dynamics of WWE right, but fails to script a compelling narrative. It becomes an unfortunate case of falling flat while making a stylish signature move.

The Chronology of Water (2025) Ayaan Paul Chowdhury The Chronology of Water is a tremendous debutant work shaped by commitment and risk.

Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil (2026) Bhuvanesh Chandar What makes TTT a memorable outing is all that it does beyond the laughs. This is a film with its heart in the right place.

Nari Nari Naduma Murari (2026) Srivathsan Nadadhur Nari Nari Naduma Murari is a lightweight rom-com with some purpose to its existence besides the mischief, fun and frolic
Posted Jan 15, 2026Edit critic review
Vaa Vaathiyaar (2025) Bhuvanesh Chandar Perhaps Nalan could have salvaged the film with a scene or two more in the second half. Of course, we didn’t expect Vaa Vaathiyaar to be a standard Nalan Kumarasamy film, but this could still have become an interesting masala film.
Posted Jan 14, 2026Edit critic review
Anaganaga Oka Raju (2026) Sangeetha Devi Dundoo Anaganaga Oka Raju could have benefitted with sharper, crisper writing. Despite the uneven narrative, Naveen’s comic timing and Meenakshi’s graceful screen presence make the film immensely watchable.
Posted Jan 14, 2026Edit critic review
Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi (2026) Srivathsan Nadadhur Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi is a mixed bag on the whole. Although it hints at the director and the actor’s return to form in flashes, it is barely a reflection of their complete potential.

Song Sung Blue (2025) Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The story of Mike and Claire Sardina comes joyfully alive in ‘Song Sung Blue’ through the voices and performances of Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson
