The Kannada film 'Brat' starring Darling Krishna of 'Love Mocktail' fame is a template commercial film that entertains in bits but doesn't offer anything unique. Read our review.
'Single Salma' explores a woman's journey to self-discovery amid societal and family pressures. The film's important message is weakened by slow pacing and inconsistent storytelling.
Aaryan movie review: Director Praveen K's 'Aaryan' starring Vishnu Vishal, Selvaraghavan and Shraddha Srinath, is a murder mystery. While the film has an interesting premise, it falters in its execution and skewed justification for serial killings.
'Ikk Kudi' brings Shehnaaz Gill back to the big screen in a film that starts strong but loses steam. While the story has heart and humour, it struggles with uneven pacing and lazy writing. Her co-star Nirmal Rishi shines through the chaos, but even her brilliance can't rescue the wobbly ride.
Dies Irae movie review: Director Rahul Sadasivan's 'Dies Irae', starring Pranav Mohanlal and Gibin Gopinath, is an immersive horror thriller that is intelligent and never takes the audience for granted. With top-notch making, 'Dies Irae' is a fitting addition to Rahul Sadasivan's filmography.
S.S. Rajamouli's 'Baahubali: The Epic' merges both parts into one reimagined saga, offering a nostalgic return to Mahishmati — but at a pace with barely a moment to breathe.

Thamma movie review: Ayushmann Khurrana turns vampire in Aditya Sarpotdar's 'Thamma' -- a horror-romance that promises bite but lacks soul. Despite its ambitious link to Maddock's horror-comedy universe, the film feels lifeless, uneven, and drained of charm.
'K-Ramp' aims to be a loud, full-on comedy with emotional undertones, but it ends up confused, insensitive, and tone-deaf.
'Telusu Kada' is a confident debut from Neerraja Kona, exploring modern love with bold themes and strong performances. While the film engages, its emotional depth and character arcs could have been sharper.
Dude movie review: Director Keerthiswaran's 'Dude', starring Pradeep Ranganathan, Mamitha Baiju and Sarathkumar, is a romantic drama about complex relationship dynamics. The film, with an important social message, is absolute fun when it is self-aware.
Diesel movie review: Director Shanumugam Muthusamy 'Diesel', starring Harish Kalyan, Vinay Rai and Athulya Ravi, is a film that aims to tell the story of a fisher folk in the problems in the world of crude oil. The film lacks originality despite its length to mount the film on a huge canvas.
Bison Kaalamaadan movie review: Director Mari Selvaraj's 'Bison Kaalamaadan', starring Dhruv Vikram, Pasupathy, Lal and Ameer, is a solid sports drama set against the backdrop of village and caste politics. With brilliant performances and a hard-hitting commentary, the film is yet another worthy addition to Mari Selvaraj's filmography.
Written and directed by debutant Vijayender S, 'Mithra Mandali' is yet another addition to the brainless comedy film from Telugu cinema, that banks more on meta/movie references than merit in writing.
'Tron: Ares' returns after 15 years with a high-tech spectacle but shallow storytelling. The film's corporate focus and emotional detachment raise questions about rebooting classic sci-fi for today's audience.
Lord Curzon Ki Haveli is an ambitious chamber drama set in London featuring Rasika Dugal's standout performance. The film's cluttered narrative and slow pace raise questions on its emotional engagement and thematic depth.
