Kanguva (2024) 3 “Suriya’s performance in Kanguva compensates for the weaknesses in Siva’s storytelling, compelling us to invest in the narrative.” – Desimartini Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Amaran (2024) 3 “Indhu’s character humanizes Mukund, deepening our connection with his story. Her presence makes the film’s conclusion far more moving than the reactions evoked by typical news headlines about army casualties in terror attacks. ” – Desimartini Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Lucky Baskhar (2024) 3 “Lucky Baskhar could be described as Money Heist meets Scam 1992, with hints of an ambition to reveal the ugly side of excessive lifestyles (The Wolf of Wall Street). ” – Desimartini Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Bougainvillea (2024) 3 “Set against the backdrop of an unreliable memory, Bougainvillea borrows elements from classics like Memento and The Usual Suspects, while crafting a uniquely Malayalam narrative.” – Desimartini Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Vettaiyan (2024) 2 “One of Vettaiyan’s biggest downfalls is its indecisiveness about the main villain. Gnanavel tries to tackle too many social issues—extrajudicial killings, the controversial NEET exam, and corruption in the education sector—all in one film.” – Desimartini Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Meiyazhagan (2024) 3 “Filmmaker C Prem Kumar delivers once again with his latest movie Meiyazhagan, delivering another nostalgia-heavy exploration of the pains and simple pleasures of life—things most of us overlook in the pursuit of bigger and more expensive aspirations. ” – Desimartini Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Devara Part 1 (2024) 33% 2 “Jr NTR's Devara:Part 1 suffers from uneven pacing and moments that feel shoehorned in for fan service. ” – Desimartini Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Ajayante Randam Moshanam (A.R.M.) (2024) 3 “Tovino Thomas, in top form, delivers a career-defining performance. As Maniyan, he embodies raw physicality and emotional depth, making his portrayal of the defiant thief unforgettable. ” – Desimartini Sep 12, 2024 Full Review The Greatest of All Time (2024) 40% 2 “The Greatest of All Time fails to live up to its ambitious title. What could have been a thrilling, star-studded spectacle turns into a muddled, uninspired film that leans too heavily on nostalgia and star references to hide its lack of substance. ” – Desimartini Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Saripodhaa Sanivaaram (2024) 2 “Despite Vivek Athreya’s attempt to inject his signature style into a new genre, Saripodhaa Sanivaaram ultimately lacks the excitement and novelty that could have made it memorable.” – Desimartini Aug 29, 2024 Full Review The Adamant Girl (2024) 4 “Kottukkaali centres on women like Meena, played with haunting brilliance by Anna Ben, who refuse to conform to societal expectations. Her resistance is a silent, powerful statement against the facade of normalcy that her family wishes to maintain.” – Desimartini Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Thangalaan (2024) 4 “Thangalaan is a film that demands not just to be watched but to be experienced. It’s a tale of struggle, grit, and perseverance, where every frame is imbued with a sense of purpose and meaning. ” – Desimartini Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Kalki 2898 AD (2024) 77% 3.5 “This dystopian setup foreshadows the grim future for mankind should the world continue on its current course, but underneath, it's packed with mythological symbols and diverse cultural, spiritual, and religious beliefs. ” – Desimartini Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Indian 2 (2024) 15% 2 “Shankar's approach to filmmaking and storytelling feels outdated. It's a very unpleasant experience to see one of your favourite directors seem clueless about how to handle one of the iconic characters he created at the prime of his career.” – Desimartini Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Raayan (2024) 3 “If Raayan was just about Raayan, it might have been a big dud because we have seen this story a million times. Dhanush knows it, and he cleverly overcomes the fatigue of familiarity in the narrative by simply giving more screen time to other characters.” – Desimartini Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Middle Class Melodies (2020) 88% 2/5 “Vinod Anantoju could have benefited from fine-tuning moments that define the very nature of the middle class.” – The Indian Express Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Wild Dog (2021) 40% 2.5/5 “Cinematically, this Nagarjuna starrer is average at best. More or less it feels like a television film.” – The Indian Express Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Rang De (2021) 100% 3/5 “Nithiin and Keerthy Suresh film feels like a comforting blanket in these unpredictable times. It provides much-needed warmth and allows you to delight in a sense of nostalgia.” – The Indian Express Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Narappa (2021) 100% 3/5 “Dhanush's Asuran wasn't a work of art and neither is Venkatesh-starrer Narappa. It is, however, bold and honest and will always remain hard-hitting, powerful and timely.” – The Indian Express Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Eega (2012) 100% “Eega was a prelude to a new phase in SS Rajamouli's filmography. It was a testament to Rajamouli's storytelling skills and the tenacity to turn his wildest dreams into a reality on the big screen...” – The Indian Express Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Halal Love Story (2020) 75% 3.5/5 “Halal Love Story develops organically into a charming movie about love, faith and heartbreak. And more importantly, it gives us insight into a community and their way of living.” – The Indian Express Jan 17, 2024 Full Review Varane Avashyamund (2020) 100% “Varane Avashyamund is rife with stereotypes. And yet, you won’t feel like complaining. When you watch the movie, it feels at least some stereotypes are not bad after all. He puts some punch in cliches. And the trick seems to be in the details.” – The Indian Express Jan 17, 2024 Full Review Mosagallu (2020) 20% 1/5 “Superficial and half-baked...” – The Indian Express Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Ka Pae Ranasingam (2020) 83% “Aishwarya Rajesh is a revelation. She displays hopelessness, powerlessness, vulnerability, grit and determination with ease and impressive conviction. Vijay Sethupathi, as usual, brings charm to his turn...” – The Indian Express Jan 11, 2024 Full Review Bhoomi (2021) 0% “Lakshman has some really good ideas for an educational and inspiring movie. But, it is a great shame that neither does he have the required understanding of the matter at hand nor the skillset to turn all the information into a compelling drama.” – The Indian Express Jan 10, 2024 Full Review
