Gangers (2025)
“The rest of the sequences [in the film] offer very little and with ideas that leave us feeling been-there-seen-that, they fail to impress us with their emotional moments.” –

Good Bad Ugly (2025)
“If you are familiar with Adhik’s work, logic and emotionality would be the last things you would expect to find here. And if you are not familiar with Ajith’s body of work, GBU isn’t for you.” –

Perusu (2025)
“Perusu might be a one-trick pony, but, similar to Bruce Lee’s famous quote, it’s a trick that the film has perfected, and it works almost all the time Perusu banks on it.” –

VidaaMuyarchi (2025)
“It’s in the execution of ideas that Vidaamuyarchi falters the most. The basic plot is painfully simple and predictable, and the makers’ attempts to add tension fall flat as we see a fair share of twists coming a mile away.” –

You're Cordially Invited (2025)
48%
“Calling You’re Cordially Invited a rom-com feels a bit of a stretch because the ‘rom’ part of it feels uneasily forced and the ‘com’ part needs to be a lot more... comical.” –

“But with a simple and formulaic plot, there’s little good that performances can do.Wolf Man comes short of giving us anything worth sinking our teeth into.” –

“Despite its fair share of shortcomings, Kadhalikka Neramillai is a sweet breath of fresh air that plays to its strengths and, in a way, embodies contemporary relationships.” –

“Not only is the wafer-thin plot painfully predictable but the secondary characters...are reduced to one-dimensional muppets who add little to the overall narrative. ” –

Viduthalai Part 2 (2024)
“Despite a strong political core that puts out a message that’s unfortunately relevant even in today’s world and strong performances…to back the plot, Vetri Maaran’s sequel lacks the emotions that worked wonders with the first part.” –

Black (2024)
“A gripping screenplay, able performers and a strong technical crew, accentuate this well-written thriller; and Black manages to surpass its shortcomings and leaves us wishing we don’t have to wait for another supermoon for such flicks.” –

Meiyazhagan (2024)
“C. Prem Kumar gives us a thoughtful character study brought to life by some brilliant performances, and it’s a treat to watch the relationship between Arvind Swami and Karthi’s characters blossom into something gorgeous.” –

“Venkat Prabhu’s ‘GOAT’ might let you down if you’re expecting a globe-trotting espionage thriller or a genre-specific entertainer, but it is definitely a celebration of everything fans have ever loved about Vijay.” –

Indian 2 (2024)

“Despite a barrage of ideas that usually work wonders in Shankar’s films, most of them in Kamal Haasan-led "Indian 2" fall flat thanks to a disengaging plot needlessly stretched to milk the upcoming "Indian 3."” –
