Ashakal Aayiram (2026) 2.5/5 EDIT “As much as the first half sails smoothly, the second half comes undone because of unimaginative writing that veers prominently towards melodrama. ” – The Indian Express Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Anomie (2026) 2.5/5 EDIT “What the film ends up being is routine at best, with a few dashes of genuine curiosity. It’s rather like a meal that underwhelms with its main course so as to hype up its dessert; it sounds intriguing, but that approach rarely works, does it?” – The Indian Express Feb 7, 2026 Full Review Cheekatilo (2026) 2.5/5 EDIT “...[Cheekatilo] neither attempts to chart a new path for itself nor does it work neatly within the genre conventions, leaving behind an uninspired, cliche-ridden effort.” – The Indian Express Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Anaganaga Oka Raju (2026) 3/5 EDIT “The gags continue to occur timely, but the stakes never really feel significant.” – The Indian Express Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi (2026) 3/5 EDIT “There are a few crude and lewd jokes that should have been done away with, but if it wasn’t for the collective, comedic effort, Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi would have sunk much earlier.” – The Indian Express Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Mana ShankaraVaraprasad Garu (2026) 2.5/5 EDIT “There is nothing to discredit about its desire to be old-school as well. The problem is when it doesn’t put in the required effort to elicit laughter from the crowd, which is sure to forgive most other kinds of slip-ups. ” – The Indian Express Jan 12, 2026 Full Review The Raja Saab (2025) 2/5 EDIT “The Raja Saab is a film whose potential goes grossly unrealised because of an oversight, one that ignores its novelty until very late, as well as a sloppy, outdated approach that simply seems lost from start to finish.” – The Indian Express Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Bha Bha Ba (2025) 1.5/5 EDIT “Bha Bha Ba is dense, to say the least, and even the fleeting moments of entertainment feel suffocated under the weight of its overindulgence. ” – The Indian Express Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Akhanda 2 - Thaandavam (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “What [Akhanda 2] direly needed was a more purposeful script that didn’t want to so heavily rely on its boisterous voice and its equally boisterous leading man.” – The Indian Express Dec 12, 2025 Full Review The Devil (2025) 1.5/5 EDIT “With an archaic story, a lacklustre narrative and an overall problematic gaze towards the women in the story, The Devil revs itself up simply under the guise of a major star vehicle but fails to live up to the tall promise it boasted.” – The Indian Express Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Andhra King Taluka (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Once all the ‘intents’ of the film are established, Mahesh Babu P finds himself entrusted with a juggling act that, although ambitious, grows a little overbearing with time.” – The Indian Express Dec 2, 2025 Full Review The Girlfriend (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “It is fascinating to note that The Girlfriend represents an India that is predominant as part of our discourses today, yet whose idea of love and ambition is skimmed over at best.” – The Indian Express Nov 8, 2025 Full Review Mass Jathara (2025) 2/5 EDIT “With a plot as deep as a teaspoon and characterisations as layered as the cutouts outside a movie hall, Mass Jathara is a stumbling effort that sets out without any sense of direction and arrives nowhere in particular. ” – The Indian Express Nov 2, 2025 Full Review Anweshippin Kandethum (2024) EDIT “Not the most inventive thriller out there, but it works because of top-notch direction and technical work.” – Film Companion May 1, 2024 Full Review Yuva (2024) EDIT “A cluttered entertainer that's engaging only in parts...” – Film Companion Apr 5, 2024 Full Review
