Action (2019) EDIT “This Vishal outing promises much, but lacks spine or sense.” – The Hindu Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Sillu Karuppatti (2019) 100% EDIT “Halitha Shameem’s sophomore anthology movie is four delightfully woven stories with a common motif: love.” – The Hindu Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Oh My Kadavule (2020) EDIT “This Ashok Selvan and Ritika Singh-starrer about a couple rediscovering their true self in a disintegrating marriage is a pleasant, non-fuzzy take on modern-day relationships, even though it offers very little space for physical intimacy.” – The Hindu Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Saamanyudu (2022) 20% EDIT “It makes you wonder if director Thu Pa Saravanan finished the final draft, tore it in frustration, and decided to go-ahead with the film by pasting together the random bits of paper.” – The Hindu Jan 10, 2024 Full Review The Gray Man (2022) 46% EDIT “The Russo brothers’ supposed answer to the Bond franchise is a product of popcorn entertainment that is defined by giving the audience what they want and that’s just it.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Victim (2022) 80% EDIT “The mark of a bad anthology is the urgency to employ the various techniques and devices to make it look palatable and complete.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Love Today (2022) EDIT “Pradeep Ranganathan’s Love Today, written and aimed at young adults and college cohorts, is mostly entertaining and achieves what it sets out to, even at the cost of flab in writing and plain performances.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Naai Sekar Returns (2022) EDIT “Naai Sekar Returns rides primarily on Vadivelu’s body language; his gorgeous facial expressions and the occasional punchlines he delivers. All of this makes you miss the man more. Is it enough to sustain an entire movie? No.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Agent Kannayiram (2022) EDIT “The core of Agent Kannayiram is quite solid; but there is not a single scene, moment or performance that makes you feel good about this movie.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Kalaga Thalaivan (2022) EDIT “Tamil director Magizh Thirumeni’s Kalaga Thalaivan has the spirit of Thadam but the heart of a generic thriller.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Gargi (2022) 100% EDIT “Apart from the several great performances, this is a film that gives you perspective. ” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Iravin Nizhal (2022) 60% EDIT “Just for the madness of its creator and his sheer passion for the medium, Iravin Nizhal deserves to be checked out.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu (2022) 100% EDIT “Like the train that Simbu takes — with AR Rahman’s hummable ‘Marakkuma Nenjam’ playing in the background — this film is a journey too, one that is likely to continue in its next installment.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Ponniyin Selvan: Part I (2022) 87% EDIT “Mani Ratnam has never made the same movie twice. Although all his movies are of a certain ‘kind’. Has there ever been a filmmaker who has built a body of work that is so large and so diverse by exploring just human relationships?” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Vikram (2022) 59% EDIT “Yeah, yeah, he gets a swashbuckling entry in the now-terrific interval block. But the disappointment was there. Since then, Vikram has been watched five times now. That should explain how we were sucked into the Lokesh Cinematic Universe.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Taanakkaran (2022) EDIT “An impressive debut from a filmmaker who is not just confident about what he is going to tell but how. It also helps that we get an insider’s perspective of the system through Tamizh.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review The Last Farmer (2021) 100% EDIT “Kadaisi Vivasayi is not about triumph but about the battles that are won quietly.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Connect (2022) 43% EDIT “Connect can get really scary at times. But you feel a disconnect when you realise that Connect is a movie that places its trust on the theatrics of the genre and not on emotion.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Aftersun (2022) 96% EDIT “Charlotte Wells’ stunning debut is a quiet rumination of the lost daughter.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Run Rabbit Run (2023) 38% EDIT “The Australian film does a neat job in creating an atmospheric horror but loses its command over the genre after a point.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Naane Varuven (2022) 40% EDIT “Dhanush and Selvaraghavan’s on-screen reunion after a decade may not be as rewarding as their previous films, but it sure is half-interesting, half-thrilling and half-fulfilling.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Thiruchitrambalam (2022) 100% EDIT “Mithran R Jawahar puts a delightful spin on the Velai Illa Pattadhari template. Yet, this is a film that has a charming innocence at its core.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Viruman (2022) EDIT “Viruman starring Karthi and Aditi Shankar is definitely an upgrade from Muthaiya’s previous films. At best, it is watchable and to some extent, it is enjoyable.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review A Star Shoots Across the Sky (2022) 100% EDIT “This is Ranjith’s finest and purest film, till date. Not just in terms of what it stands for but also the form with which it presents. This visual language is a departure for the filmmaker too.” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Kaithi (2019) 100% EDIT “Lo and behold, this Karthi-Lokesh Kanagaraj joyride is by far the best action thriller in Tamil cinema since Theeran Adhigaram Ondru.” – The Hindu Oct 9, 2023 Full Review
