2.5/5
K.G.F: Chapter 1 (2018) Shyam Prasad S Slow motion shots do not compensate for the lack of emotional content. KGF Chapter 1 is a 155-minute-long trailer.

Katheyondu Shuruvagide (2018) Shyam Prasad S Senna Hegde paints a fresh layer of imaginative film making on Sandalwood with this heartwarming romantic slice of life.

Trunk (2018) Shyam Prasad S Its methods are old and rusted and it has an irritating creaking sound. If it is not forgotten soon, it will be for the wrong reasons.

Sanju (2018) Kunal Guha Rajkumar Hirani's prime job is to make a film worth your multiplex ticket and he meticulous picks anecdotes from Dutt's life that render a compelling narrative and pack in a range of emotions.

Kanoorayana (2018) Shyam Prasad S The 20 lakh members have contributed Rs 20 each. That is the most interesting thing about the film. The rest of it is a lavish documentary in the disguise of a film.

Buckaasuura (2018) Shyam Prasad S In the end, the film is a tepid experience which does not provide the bang for your buck.

Hebbet Ramakka (2018) Shyam Prasad S The film has very few things going for it...Hebbet Ramakka is a poor showcase of Sandalwood's filmmaking abilities.

Johnny Johnny Yes Papa (2018) Shyam Prasad S The film is goofy and daffy, and if you are willing to be one, it takes you on a ride.

3.5/5
Gultoo (2018) Shyam Prasad S At a time when many in the country are unsure about the safety of their private data that was collected on a massive scale, the film manages to bring their paranoia to life quite successfully.

2/5
Rajaratha (2018) Shyam Prasad S Except for 5-10 minutes at the climax, there is no other scene in the entire film that arrests your attention. The return of the Rangitaranga director-actor duo is thus a big disappointment.

3/5
Tagaru (2018) Shyam Prasad S If presentation is all that matters, Tagaru will remain entrenched at the top for a long tim. When a dazzling screenplay is given a higher pedestal than an engaging plot, and shock value replaces perspective, you get Tagaru in all its resplendent glory.

3/5
Kanaka (2018) Shyam Prasad S The film has a lavish look and is technically a good package. Those behind the camera have clearly given it their best. The actors have fulfilled the director's intentions.

3/5
Humble Politician Nograj (2018) Shyam Prasad S The film may not resonate with everyone for the same reason that Nograj makes his opponent in the film realise. However, it is an honest effort at a purposeful film.

3/5
Bruhaspati (2018) Shyam Prasad S Even when it is time to change tracks, the film follows a subtle text. What could have been a melodramatic gut-wrenching twist is given a minimalistic treatment.

3/5
50 Days of Love (2017) Shyam Prasad S Ganesh has a lively presence and manages to charm his way through the film. Rashmika sparkles in places. Sadhu gets a meaty role rather than being a comic interruption.

4/5
(undefined) Niranjan Kaggere ... the film surprises you with its suspense filled mature and sensitive story while highlighting other aspects of the runaway kids' world that usually thrive along railway platforms.

3/5
Anjaniputra (2017) Shyam Prasad S Harsha has hit the bull's eye and Anjaniputra has all the hallmarks of becoming his biggest box office register.

3.5/5
Mufti (2017) Shyam Prasad S The stunning one-liners, rousing cinematography and background score (except when the heroine is on the screen) give Mufti an appeal beyond its simple plot.

Tera Intezaar (2017) Shyam Prasad S The director seems to have decided beforehand that every spice you can get your hand on should go into the dish.

2.5/5
Mantra (2017) Shyam Prasad S The story in Mantram was good and indeed great for an episode of X Files or similar serials. It has been unnecessarily stretched to nearly two hours.

Uppu Huli Khara (2017) Shyam Prasad S The director seems to have decided beforehand that every spice you can get your hand on should go into the dish. He has dumped in everything except parthenium into this potboiler.

1/5
Upendra Matte Baa (2017) Shyam Prasad S Upendra Matte Baa is a bad film. It possibly is Upendra's worst. It is the sorriest publicity for a remake film; forgoing even the basic understanding of why any film is remade.

2/5
Kempirve (2017) Shyam Prasad S Kemprive could have been presented in a memorable neo-noir manner. There are only flashes of it.
Posted Nov 18, 2017  Edit critic review
College Kumar (2017) Shyam Prasad S The first half is only a pad-up effort for the real plot. It is not bad in itself. The director has made a concentrated effort in making it family-friendly.

2.5/5
Psycho Shankra (2017) Shyam Prasad S The film is not bad, but you are served a vegetarian meal after ordering a biryani. A better film could have still emerged if the four stories were set separately and tied up in the end.

3/5
Hebbuli (2017) Shyam Prasad S Overall, Hebbuli is the kind of film that cannot be made without the star or his fans in mind - a film that the star has to carry forward. Sudeep has done it.

Kirik Party (2016) Shyam Prasad S KP is a film to party with friends. Haven't you booked your tickets yet?

Raajakumara (2017) Shyam Prasad S Raajakumara has something for everyone and Puneeth for his fans. It is a film that tries to please everyone. Only there is no option of picking and choosing.

3.5/5
Shuddhi (2017) Vidya Iyengar One of the few new-age Kannada films that explore topics that require immediate attention and action, Shuddhi has been inspired by the horrendous rape incident in Delhi in 2012.

3/5
Sakhavu (2017) Sethumadhavan N Sakhavu is not as splendid a film as one might have expected, but it is a film that does not mislead the viewer and is definitely worth an outing at the cinemas.

Mohayuddho (2017) Sethumadhavan N Unless you are expecting something extraordinary, Katamarayudu works as a time pass entertainer with its leading man rising to the occasion.

Cheliya (2017) Sethumadhavan N Kaatru Veliyidai eventually is one of Mani Ratnam's weaker films and that's disappointing, thankfully it is not a disaster like Kadal.

3/5
Tiyaan (2017) Sethumadhavan N In today's charged up atmosphere where politics and religion seem to be intermingling for various reasons, the theme of Tiyaan would strike a chord with many as well as create a flutter among some.

Dayavittu Gamanisi (2017) Shyam Prasad S The stories needed to be scandalous or traumatising. These are too simple.

Happy Journey (2014) Shyam Prasad S Homophobic jokes, comical horror and goofy suspense are what the film offers as entertainment.

2.5/5
Vivegam (2017) Sethumadhavan N Ultimately, Vivegam isn't as entertaining as Veeram, nor is it as low on novelty like Vedalam. It tries to be an impactful spy action-thriller and on that front it scores well at least on the action front.

Mugulu Nage (2017) Shyam Prasad S It boldly goes where no character has ever gone before. Some of the incidents thought up by Bhat are stunningly executed by cinematographer Sugnaan.
Posted Nov 01, 2017  Edit critic review
The Power Of 3 Jai Lava Kusa (2017) Sethumadhavan N It is good to focus your attention on the leading man, especially when he is someone as dynamic as Jr NTR but then it's sad to see that director hasn't taken enough care in ensuring that the other elements also carry merit.

Spyder (2017) Sethumadhavan N Sadly, it ends up a film that does not live up to its full potential.

(undefined) Shyam Prasad S Unfortunately, a sequel creates great expectations and 2006's Mungaru Male was a tough act to follow.
Posted Jan 09, 2017  Edit critic review
Sairat (2016) Trisha Gupta Manjule, whose powerful first feature Fandry was a 2014 festival favourite, has taken a remarkable leap from that recognizable realist aesthetic into something gloriously hybrid.

Jigar Thanda (2016) Shyam Prasad S With enough twists and turns and a comical take on the film industry and lives of gangsters, it is bang for the buck.

Cheekati Rajyam (2015) RS Prakash Minor glitches are evident at places, but we have to give it to Rajesh who has come up with a neat thriller.

Maanikya (2014) Shyam Prasad S Arjun Janya's music is apt while Shekar Chandru's cinematography evokes awe in many sequences.

RangiTaranga (2015) Shyam Prasad S Anup Bhandari has also written this unusual script. Rangi Taranga is a suspense thriller and the only drawback is the pace of the narration.
Posted Jan 02, 2016  Edit critic review
Bruce Lee: The Fighter (2015) Sethumadhavan N Bruce Lee-The Fighter is strictly passable fare where Srinu Vaitla fails to really entertain us convincingly.

Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari (2014) Shyam Prasad S This is one of those rare films that could attract audience of all ages and you can expect it to be around in theatres for some time.

Rudhramadevi (2015) Sethumadhavan N Not quite the epic saga it set out to be, unfortunately.

Tiger (2015) RS Prakash It is widely publicised that the film's budget is huge, but the scenes and settings don't stand up to reflect it.

Sellvandhan (2015) Sethumadhavan N Srimanthudu sees Mahesh Babu bounce back in style, and Siva proves that the success of his first film as a director was no flash in the pan.
