Pichaikkaran 2 (2023) “Despite the option to develop its idea into a film like Billa, Pichaikkaran turns into a soapy melodrama that deviates too much from its campy genesis.” – Film Companion Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Maamannan (2023) 60% “Despite the compromises in the second half, Mari Selvaraj's third film remains powerful, proving to be a testament to how his voice remains the loudest.” – Film Companion Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil (2024) 60% “It explores an excellent idea for such a comedy with one particularly important detail that often seems to have been left behind when a marriage...” – Film Companion May 22, 2024 Full Review Election (2024) “Despite the compromises in the second half,. Mari Selvaraj's third film remains powerful...” – Film Companion May 17, 2024 Full Review Nadikar (2024) “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% “Middle Class Melodies is triple-dipped with the only secret sauce that truly matters.” – Film Companion Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Thankamani (2024) “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 Premalu (2024) “With perfect casting all around and a special talent to handle deep matters with loads of comedy, Premalu reinstates Girish AD as one of the most exciting Malayali filmmakers around and an auteur of the absolute sweetest kind.” – Film Companion Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Halal Love Story (2020) 75% “We get a thoroughly satisfying comedy with a heart of gold. It doesn’t judge, nor does it look down on people for their faith.” – Film Companion Jan 17, 2024 Full Review Varane Avashyamund (2020) 100% “We get love stories of two age groups, yet it’s the older couple that appears far more modern.” – Film Companion Jan 17, 2024 Full Review Pa.Paandi (2017) 100% “A film so inherently likeable that you’re glad to overlook its flaws.” – The Hindu Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Sillu Karuppatti (2019) 100% “With these four stories, we get an optimistic, yet deeply-moving takes on what constitutes the modern romance.” – Film Companion Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Oh My Kadavule (2020) “It's no classic romance, but as far as our Tamil romcoms go, that too for a film designed for the Valentine's Day weekend, OMK is not half bad…the second half I mean. ” – Film Companion Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Abraham Ozler (2024) “By reinventing Jayaram as an actor and by infusing so much information into a stereotypical thriller, Abraham Ozler remains fairly engaging even if you’ve seen it all before.” – Film Companion Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Ayalaan (2024) 33% “Adult-sized clichés in an otherwise child-sized sci-fi comedy” – Film Companion Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Danny (2020) “It’s like the makers found a template police investigation script from the 90s, only to find and replace the hero with a heroine and best friend with a dog...” – Film Companion Jan 11, 2024 Full Review Parris Jeyaraj (2021) “Between laughing at the film and with the film, the silliness of Parris Jeyaraj is good to remind all of us that there's no harm in laughing at oneself every now and then.” – Film Companion Jan 10, 2024 Full Review Aattam (2023) 100% “The writing is consistently surprising with the film working both as an intricate study of the male psyche and an impressive thriller.” – Film Companion Jan 4, 2024 Full Review Annapoorani (2023) “When the ambition to serve a grand, full-fledged buffet takes over, the Nayanthara-starrer forgets that it could have been a very comforting film about simple dreams.” – Film Companion Dec 7, 2023 Full Review Tegimpu (2023) 44% “That’s not just what you expect from a filmmaker like Vinoth, who in the very least can give you a solid informercial and a few cool fights scenes before and after it. With very little of either, Thunivu isn’t really the film one was banking on. ” – Film Companion Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Vaathi (2023) 67% “It is when the film goes a little easier on itself that we get portions where it’s most inventive. Especially, there is a lightness when it transforms into a meta-film about the power of cinema as a tool to educate and reform.” – Film Companion Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Love Today (2022) “Even if you’re willing to overlook these as surface-level slips, what keeps the film at a distance from you is just how unlikeable its lead characters remain throughout...” – Film Companion Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu (2022) 100% “Dense but entirely immersive.” – Film Companion Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Gargi (2022) 100% “The smallest of distractions in what's mostly a powerful movie...” – Film Companion Nov 1, 2023 Full Review Kaduva (2022) 40% “There are little things that keep our expectations in check even as the film treads through a series of beats you’ve already seen coming.” – Film Companion Nov 1, 2023 Full Review
