While Nayanthara and Madhavan offer some engaging moments, the film ultimately delivers a disappointing result.

Nayanthara, clad in the most gorgeous saris, comes off better than the others, but that鈥檚 not compensation enough in this disappointing film, which does scant justice to some of the most talented actors in the Tamil film industry.

Rated: 1.5/5 •

Test is a potentially engaging drama that suffers in execution. And it鈥檚 about 45 minutes too long.

Test has a great premise and performances by Madhavan, Siddharth and Nayanthara, but the story, sadly, doesn鈥檛 do justice to them.

...an avoidable 145-minute heap of repetitive and overstretched storytelling during which several people get slapped about.

I won鈥檛 say that the film is flawless or a masterpiece as compared to the movies and series shown on Netflix, but with it鈥檚 appealing cast, it truly deserves every bit of your time.

Rated: 3/5 •

Test directed by S Shashikant is a fascinating take on the ideas of morality and ambition through three flawed protagonists. The director along with his writer is successful in creating a complex human drama where the lines between right and wrong are heavily blurred. R Madhavan and Nayanthara particularly stand out with their outstanding performances. My full review available in own website rigoberthareviews.com

"Test" (2025) showcases the undeniable talent of R. Madhavan, who delivers a stunning performance. However, the film is ultimately let down by a flat and unengaging storyline that fails to captivate the audience. R. Madhavan commands the screen with his charisma and acting prowess. His portrayal of the character is nuanced and compelling, demonstrating his ability to elevate even a weak script. Unfortunately, the film's narrative struggles to maintain interest. The story lacks originality and fails to offer any compelling plot developments or emotional depth. The pacing feels slow and uneven, making it difficult to stay invested in the characters' journeys. The supporting cast, while capable, is given little to work with. The characters are underdeveloped and their relationships lack complexity, further contributing to the film's overall lack of engagement. The film's technical aspects are adequate, with decent cinematography and a fitting soundtrack. However, these elements are not enough to compensate for the film's narrative shortcomings. Despite Madhavan's stellar performance, "Test" is a disappointing cinematic experience. Its lack of engaging story and emotional depth makes it a film that is easily forgotten.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
