Valathu Vashathe Kallan (2026) EDIT “A complex character is safe with Biju Menon in Jeethu Joseph’s thriller.” – The Hollywood Reporter India Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies (2026) EDIT “A lovingly-made tribute to those kids who dared to try it at home.” – The Hollywood Reporter India Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Sirai (2025) EDIT “A message movie done right.” – The Hollywood Reporter India Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Bha Bha Ba (2025) EDIT “Mohanlal cannot cameo-proof this crass action hero.” – The Hollywood Reporter India Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Stephen (2025) EDIT “Stephen makes for a compassionate reading of an unhinged mind.” – The Hollywood Reporter India Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Kalamkaval (2025) EDIT “A screenwriting masterclass.” – The Hollywood Reporter India Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Revolver Rita (2025) EDIT “A gratingly desperate attempt at being quirky. ” – The Hollywood Reporter India Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Vilayath Budha (2025) EDIT “Neither flower, nor fire. ” – The Hollywood Reporter India Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Kaantha (2025) EDIT “In other instances, Mahadevan isn’t mouthing the lines he’s meant to… he is speaking straight from his heart, as though the cameras have all disappeared.” – The Hollywood Reporter India Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Idly Kadai (2025) EDIT “A watchable concoction of 'Thevar Magan' and Vellaiyilla Pattadhari.” – The Hollywood Reporter India Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Balti (2025) EDIT “It’s a film that continues to surprise you, even until the last frame. ” – The Hollywood Reporter India Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Karam (2025) EDIT “Of all the things you’d taken for granted in a Vineeth Sreenivasan film, heart or hridayam is strangely what’s missing most in Karam. ” – The Hollywood Reporter India Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Mirage (2025) EDIT “By the 10th twist, not only do we lose connection with every character, but also train ourselves to simply not believe a word of what they’re saying.” – The Hollywood Reporter India Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Ithiri Neram (2025) EDIT “An imperfect, but moving recall to a love that wasn’t meant to be. ” – The Hollywood Reporter India Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Aaryan (2025) EDIT “Even in its present form, there’s enough going on in Aaryan to make you want to stay till the climax, even when it feels like the film began with an ending of sorts. ” – The Hollywood Reporter India Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Diés Iraé (2025) EDIT “As much about life’s most horrific incident bringing people together as it is about the same people trying to deal with grief.

Mari Selvaraj's third film remains powerful...” – Film Companion May 17, 2024 Full Review Nadikar (2024) EDIT “Mostly passable comedy...but a plot this rich needed a film even richer.” – Film Companion May 7, 2024 Full Review Middle Class Melodies (2020) 88% EDIT “Middle Class Melodies is triple-dipped with the only secret sauce that truly matters.” – Film Companion Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Thankamani (2024) EDIT “The writing is all over the place and the making doesn't help either to plant this Dileep-starrer in some form of reality.” – Film Companion Mar 11, 2024 Full Review
