best-review

This is a movie you shouldn't miss! The story and characters are really interesting, and the conflict feels fresh. Everything happens in a natural and realistic way, making it easy to connect with. There are a few moments where things might feel a bit exaggerated, but they don't take away from the experience.

Shivaji is amazing in his role, and Priyadarshi, Sai Kumar, Harshavardhan, and Rohini also did a great job. The teenage actors are fantastic too!

The production quality is just right, with beautiful cinematography and great music. The direction is spot on.

Overall, it's a must-watch, especially for youngsters, parents, cops, and lawyers!

The movie has a good and realistic story that feels believable. The characters are natural and interesting, making it easy to connect with them. The way the story is told keeps the audience engaged, though it could have been even better.

The direction is good, and the filmmaker has handled the story well. The screenplay is above average, meaning the scenes are written and arranged well, but there is room for improvement. The editing is fine, ensuring a smooth flow between scenes. However, the production values are a bit low, so the overall look and feel of the movie are not very grand.

The costumes and makeup are well done, making the characters look appropriate for their roles. The acting by Brahmaji, Amani, Sudhakar Reddy, Rachha Ravi and Dhanya is very good-they bring their characters to life with strong performances.

The cinematography is just average, meaning the camera work and visuals are not very impressive but not bad either. The background music is not good and does not add much to the scenes. However, one song in the movie is decent.

Overall, the movie has a good story, strong acting, and good direction, but some technical aspects could have been better. You can watch it if you like realistic dramas.

This film relies on an illogical storyline filled with absurd and outdated elements. Instead of fresh humor, it uses repetitive slapstick and forced jokes that fail to engage. The screenplay follows an old-fashioned style, packed with cheap dialogues and exaggerated reactions rather than witty or clever writing. Acting is a major drawback, with most performances feeling over-the-top and cringe-worthy.

On the technical side, production values are decent, but music and cinematography are below average. The background score lacks impact, and the visuals appear uninspired. Direction is weak, with poor execution and inconsistent comedic timing, making many scenes drag unnecessarily.

Overall, this film may appeal to those who enjoy mindless comedy without concern for logic or storytelling. However, if you're looking for fresh humor, engaging performances, or a well-structured screenplay, this movie is likely to disappoint.

Wow. Just... wow. If cinema had a list of crimes against storytelling, this film would be on top. Nay, it would be the undisputed champion of disaster, a shining beacon of how NOT to make a movie. The sheer dedication it takes to make something this atrocious is almost commendable-almost.

The story? Oh, it's a masterpiece in cringe. A script seemingly fished out from the trash can of a Bhojpuri Film Industry, dusted off, and smeared with every outdated, cheap, and regressive trope imaginable. The dialogues? Written, I assume, by someone who was either held at gunpoint or actively plotting revenge against cinema itself.

And let's talk about the scenes-each one a new, spectacular level of torture. The cheesiness is so thick, it could be sliced and sold in grocery stores. Offensive towards women and transgenders? Oh, absolutely. The filmmakers apparently missed the memo that it's not 1985 anymore. And just when you think it can't get any worse, it throws another painfully unfunny, crass, or outright nauseating moment at you.

The music? Let's just say, I'd rather listen to a symphony of car alarms and construction drills. The sets and costumes look like they were borrowed from a low-budget college skit-one that the students themselves abandoned out of shame.

Vishwak Sen? Poor guy actually tried. And while effort is admirable, his over confidence and the direction he going not to be encouraged. And the female lead-well, what can we say? She's there, alright. Existing. Not her fault, though. She was clearly just told to stand there, wear whatever minimal fabric was handed to her, and add to the film's overall aesthetic of cheap gimmickry disguised as entertainment.

Now, let's be honest: this film doesn't need to be banned. That would imply it has some sort of impact. No, this one is self-sabotaging at an elite level. Give it a day, and it will naturally sink into oblivion, where it belongs. So, Jagan Anna fans, don't even waste your time. This film will destroy itself, no effort needed.

Verdict: If you love yourself, avoid this. If you hate yourself, still avoid it. Some bad movies are fun to watch ironically-this isn't one of them. It's just a big, fat, insulting waste of time.

This film is supposedly based on real incidents, but the way it's narrated makes it feel more like a cinematic exaggeration than a grounded story. While a few moments grab your attention, most of the film struggles to keep you hooked. The screenplay does have a handful of well-executed scenes, but beyond that, it's just a routine ride. Patriotism is unnecessarily forced into the screenplay for commercial appeal.

Naga Chaitanya clearly puts in a lot of effort, and his dedication is visible. However, he doesn't quite become the character he's playing. While this might be one of his better performances, he still needs to pick scripts that truly suit his strengths.

Sai Pallavi, as always, delivers a solid performance. But here's the thing-she's so consistently good that this role feels like just another day at work for her. Nothing groundbreaking, just her usual excellence.

The rest of the cast does their job well-no complaints, but no surprises either.

On the technical side, the production values are respectable. The locations, sets, costumes, and makeup all fit the mood of the film. The cinematography is pleasing, and the music adds some flavor, though it doesn't particularly elevate the experience.

In the end, the film is neither great nor terrible-it just sits in the safe zone of mediocrity. Watch it if you're a fan of the lead actors, otherwise, you might not miss much.

This film is not exactly a frame-by-frame remake, but you can definitely spot its inspiration from the movie "Breakdown". However, the makers have spiced things up with a few fresh elements and a few unexpected plot twists, making it an engaging yet lengthy watch.

The storytelling is slow paced but thanks to an intriguing screenplay that keeps you hooked. Unlike the usual Star studded commercial entertainers loaded with formulaic sequences and dance numbers, this film dares to be different.

Now, let's talk about Ajith - the man of the hour! He appears in four distinct looks across different timelines, and except for the black-bearded one (which is debatable), he looks effortlessly stylish and dashing. His performance? One of his career-best! He nails the emotional scenes, dominates the action sequences, and is absolutely charming in the romantic portions.

Trisha, on the other hand, is a vision of beauty, especially in the flashback sequences. Her acting is subtle, natural, and simply top-notch. Together, Ajith and Trisha exude an international charm, making them look like stars straight out of a Hollywood film.

Antagonists Arjun and Regina deliver solid performances, adding more depth to the story. The rest of the cast does a commendable job too.

Coming to the technical aspects - the cinematography is stunning, with world-class color grading that enhances the visuals. The locations are breathtaking, making every frame a treat for the eyes. Music is pleasant, complementing the film well. Sets, costumes, and makeup are meticulously done, adding to the grandeur. And let's not forget the action sequences, which are choreographed brilliantly!

Magizh Thirumeni's direction is commendable.

Overall, this is a stylish, well-crafted film that is definitely worth watching!

As we already know this is a remake of the popular Hindi series Panchayat. I gave the first two episodes a watch to see how well the adaptation holds up.

On the bright side, the dialogues are thoughtfully written, and the production quality is commendable. The casting is decent, and while the actors are delivering good performances, they don't quite match the charm of their Hindi counterparts.

The music, cinematography, and other technical aspects are satisfactory, adding a solid foundation to the series.

If you're not familiar with Hindi or unable to watch the original, this Telugu version is worth a try. However, if you have access to the Hindi series, I'd recommend sticking to the original for a more impactful experience.

It's one of those movies that's worth talking about! The main theme is all about non-violence and truth, which instantly reminds us of Mahatma Gandhi and everything he stood for. The story centers around a young village girl, a school student, who's deeply influenced by her grandfather, a devoted follower of Gandhi. This whole idea of promoting non-violence feels so relevant today, given the state of the world.

Another beautiful aspect of the film is how it talks about the importance of trees and how heartbreaking it is to see one cut down. That part really hits hard and makes you think.

The story and characters are pretty engaging overall, though I'll admit the narration is a bit slow in places. There are plenty of important scenes in the screenplay, but not all of them stand out-some just feel like they're there to move the story along.

Sukriti, who plays the lead, was a pleasant surprise. I'm not saying she's an amazing actor, but she's done a really good job-better than I expected, especially since she's the daughter of a popular filmmaker. The rest of the cast did fine too, nothing groundbreaking but solid performances.

The background music works well with the film-it's not super memorable, but it fits. The cinematography is okay; nothing extraordinary, but it gets the job done. Production values are decent, so it looks like they've used their budget wisely.

The direction by Padmavathi is good, though the film leans a bit into a documentary style, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. The climax felt a bit too dramatic for my taste, but it didn't ruin the experience.

All in all, it's definitely a film worth watching. If you're not into this genre for a theatrical watch, at least catch it when it releases on OTT. It's one of those movies that deserves a chance!

So this Malayalam flick helmed by our guy Gautham Menon is basically a mystery-investigation ride with Mammootty donning the detective cap. The promo vids gave that away anyway, no big spoilers.

Story vibes? It's got some fresh toppings but yeah, a lot of recycled Malayalam and Hollywood flavor in the mix. First half? Slow af, but the comedy keeps you awake. Second half? Twisty turns incoming-some you see coming, some hit you outta nowhere. Not as draggy though. And the climax? Bang on!

Gautham's direction? Slick and clean, man's still got it. Mammootty and the squad? Killing it in their roles, no cap. Music's meh, but that final song in the climax slaps hard. The visuals and production design? Chef's kiss.

Bottom line? It's like ordering a solid above-average pizza. Not groundbreaking, but tasty enough. Just don't walk in with sky-high expectations, and bring a lil patience. You'll walk out chill.

Alright, here's the tea-this story's got major goofy vibes.

The screenplay's out here trying to make you laugh with some slapstick humor, but it's more awkward than funny. Feels like they're forcing the jokes, and it just ain't hitting.

Venktesh, though? The man's a pro-he gave it his all like he always does. Aishwarya Rajesh did her thing, solid effort, but Meenakshi? Bruh, total misfit for the role.

The production quality is alright, nothing to complain about, and yeah, one song actually bangs, but that's about it.

Anil Ravipudi's direction feels so outdated, like he's still living in the pre-smartphone era.

All in all, it's not worth your time or your popcorn money. Hard pass.

The story is decent, but the narration drags and feels messy. Some scenes hit the mark, some miss, and most are just "meh".

Ramcharan pulls off his two roles well, but his performance doesn't blow you away. His beardless look? Let's just say it's not his best. Anjali shines in her limited role, while Kiara adds glamour but not much else. SJ Suryah steals the show as the villain but it feels very monotonous and the rest of the cast does their job.

The production is lavish-maybe too lavish, like they burned cash just for songs and fights to look grand. Music is nice, and the cinematography is impressive. Shankar's direction is okay, but it's not his prime-level magic.

Overall? It's not worth watching.

IDENTITY brings a unconventional narrative though the plot is rather slender. The screenplay skillfully keeps the suspense alive but fails to maintain engagement for most of its runtime. While some moments do lag with the slow pace narration, some are crafted with sheer brilliance and pulse-pounding excitement. Few plot twists add intrigue and keep the audience guessing but others feel forced and perplexing.

Trisha is an undeniable powerhouse of talent and beauty but her character isn't explored to its full depth, her performance is nuanced, authentic, and compelling. However, her styling and makeup could have been more refined.

Tovino, in the lead role, delivers a pitch-perfect performance, embodying his character with charisma and conviction. Supporting actors like Vinay Rai and Shammi are equally commendable, each bringing distinct energy to their roles, making the ensemble cast stand out.

The cinematography experiments with inventive shot compositions and lighting, yielding a visually dynamic experience in parts. While not consistently striking, the overall visual tone is effective.

The action sequences are choreographed with precision, exuding style and intensity.

The background score deserves applause for setting the right tone, seamlessly elevating the narrative.

Production design complements the story well, adding authenticity to the world-building.

Directors Anas Khan and Akhil Paul deliver a polished film that often feels like a Hollywood venture, thanks to its slick execution and ambitious vision.

Alright, buckle up.. So, this movie's got like two cool ideas buried under a mountain of snooze-worthy, cringe-inducing nonsense. The screenplay? A certified snoozefest-flat, lifeless, and sprinkled with awkward cringe moments, and yeah, there's a couple of decent scenes too, but don't hold your breath.

The direction? It's like they found the "How to Make a Movie for Dummies" manual from the 90s and just rolled with it. Zero creativity. Nada.

Vishwak Sen? The dude tried, I'll give him that. He's kinda decent in some scenes, flops in others, and just... exists for the rest.

Shraddha Srinath? Solid in her limited role, but the rest of the cast is meh city, except for Meenakshi, who's straight-up forgettable.

Music and cinematography? Let's just say they're as "meh" as that one song on the radio you always skip. Production values? Yeah, they did spend some cash, but honestly, why bother?

Final verdict: Save your time, your money, and your brain cells. This flick ain't it.

This Indian spin-off of the Russo Brothers' "Citadel" aims to capture the charm of a spy action thriller but delivers a rather lackluster experience. Like its original and Italian counterpart, this adaptation leans heavily on some out-dated spy tropes and quirky story elements that may not feel fresh.

The characters, unfortunately, lack depth, and the narrative often stumbles, featuring a screenplay that's padded with boring scenes, seemingly to stretch the runtime. Some critical moments feel illogical.

Mediocre direction by Raj & DK, The show takes place in the early '90s and 2000, but aside from a random pager tossed in, there's hardly any effort to make the setting feel authentic to the time.

Varun Dhawan, in the lead, certainly gives his all-he looks the part and shows dedication, though his acting may not quite match the demands of the role.

Samantha, on the other hand, is energetic in her over acting and her expressions and voice sometimes feel annoying. The de-aging effects on her face are painfully obvious, and with all the plastic surgeries, Botox and Heavy makeup her appearance feels more artificial than authentic. While her commitment to action scenes is clear it's hard yo watch those fist fights which are composed in very silly manner.

Child actor Kashvi brings a cute presence, though her acting is still evolving.

Among the rest of the cast, Kay Kay and Simran deserve special praise, bringing solid performances that lift the story.

The production values are respectable, with template cinematography and decent music. Overall, I wouldn't rush to recommend this series.

Let's keep this review nice and tidy, shall we? No spoilers here-wouldn't dream of ruining the mystery for you lot.

Now, the tale itself is, well, perfectly serviceable. Nothing to write home about. The pacing, though? Rather languid, I must say. It's a bit of a slog at times. The drama, I'm afraid, doesn't exactly set the world alight, though there are a few select moments that manage to catch the eye.

As for the production, well, it screams"high-end". Still, it's all competent enough, though certainly no masterpiece. But let's not be too harsh-there's a lovely bit of acting on display, particularly from Tabu. That woman is an absolute gem.

Cinematography and music are good but a bit of a letdown compared to DUNE.

Direction? Well, it gets the job done, but doesn't exactly spin any gold, if you catch my drift.

So, would I recommend it? If you're itching to uncover the backstory and see where things all begin, by all means, give it a whirl. Just don't expect fireworks.

The film's biggest strengths are the story and the world-building.

It's got a complicated backdrop, but they've kept it dead simple to follow. No baffling bits; the writers have done a cracking job. But, after sometime, the plot does get a bit cinematic, if you know what I mean.

The execution's well thought out, and it all comes together nicely. There's no faffing about with unnecessary comedy, romance, or fight scenes-it's all straight to the point.

Good cinematography, set design, and costumes, though the songs are a bit naff.

Dulkar in the lead role is decent, but Meenakshi, as the female lead, has a lengthy role that's not all that gripping, and her acting is a bit subpar. The rest of the cast really shines, though.

Venki Atluri's direction is alright.

It might not be a great film, but it's worth a watch in the cinema-you'll likely enjoy it!

The concept's got some flavor, but the story's like a lukewarm pizza-kinda meh. A couple of characters pop, but most just fade into the background.

The screenplay? It drags like a long convo with your chatty uncle-kinda clumsy and hard to swallow.

Sri Vishnu flexed his acting chops across four roles, and Ritu Varma gave it her all, but the rest of the squad? Just vibin' at best.

Production design was on point-locations, sets, and props looked fresh, but the makeup? Let's just say it needed a glow-up.

Direction was decent, music was alright, and the cinematography? Just hanging out in the middle. Overall, you might wanna skip this one; it ain't worth your time...

In the grand tapestry of cinema, Prem Kumar renowned for the classic '96 has once again woven a sparkling gem this year.

Enter "Meiyazhagan," a soulful odyssey that beckons every Indian audience to partake in its heartfelt journey.

A delightful concoction of simplicity, humor, and poignant emotion, this film stirs the soul while inviting thoughtful reflection and a touch of social awareness.

Yet, be forewarned: its length requires a measure of patience and an open heart. Only then will the full splendor of its narrative unfold before your eyes.

Karthi and Aravind Swamy breathe life into their characters with an artistry that captivates, supported by a cast that delivers performances both natural and compelling.

Not to be overlooked, a bycycle and a bull stands as a significant character, adding a unique twist to the tale.

The musical score is enchanting, with melodies that linger long after the credits roll, complemented by a background score that resonates with deep emotion.

Do temper your expectations-while "Meiyazhagan" may not conjure the same magic as "96" with its beloved Jaanu a.k.a Trisha, it stands proudly as a worthy cinematic experience in its own right.

A must-see, this film is best savored in theaters, or at the very least, on OTT platforms. Don't miss the chance to embark on this enchanting journey!

Right, so the plot's got a couple of clever bits, but then it throws in a few daft moments as well. The screenplay's not much to shout about either - some scenes are decently done, but a fair few are completely unconvincing, and the rest? Well, they're just plain dull.

NTR, bless 'im, pulls out his usual stellar performance, but let's be honest, he doesn't quite look the part this time around. Saif, playing the baddie, gives it a good go, Prakash Raj did fine as always. Now Janvi? She's about as natural as a plastic plant - in her looks and her acting.

The rest of the cast, fair play, they gave it their best shot. But the cinematography? It's bang average, nothing that really pops or feels authentic. The sets and props? Just as dodgy - it all feels a bit fake, to be honest. And don't even get me started on the VFX and CGI - absolute rubbish. Costumes and makeup are especially naff, especially on Janvi, who looks like she's just stepped out of a shop window.

The music's decent, though, I'll give them that. But the action scenes? Overly violent and just plain daft at times.

If you're a die-hard NTR fan, you might find something to enjoy in this less-than-mediocre flick, but for everyone else? Probably best to give it a miss.

Just completed watching this suspense thriller set on a mysterious island. The series also combines elements of mystery, crime, and science fiction.

While the plot and some characters do catch your interest, there are quite a few characters in the mix of confusion, some of them lack depth.

The screenplay isn't particularly gripping and few elements feel rather silly and the dialogues could have used more refinement.

On a positive note, the locations are scenic, and the sets do their job well. Cinematography is decent, and the music, while not extraordinary, complements the mood.

The casting choices are mostly good, though some actors don't quite match the age their characters are supposed to portray.

In terms of performances, Nandu and Akshara did good, but the rest of the cast isn't quite up to par. That being said, I wouldn't place the blame entirely on them, the lazy writing and hurried direction seem to be the real culprits behind the mediocrity.

Priya Anand gave her best in the climax.

Overall, it's not a must-watch, but if you're looking to kill some time, it could serve as a distraction."

Another gem from director John Crowley and writer Nick Payne, eh? Well, let's all have a round of applause for mediocrity, shall we? I mean, it's got Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh - so it must be brilliant, right? Wrong. This one's got everything except, oh, I don't know, a soul.

The plot? Well, it's alright, if you enjoy the cinematic equivalent of beige wallpaper. The narration? Textbook stuff, really. By which I mean the writer clearly ticked off all the rules but forgot the one about making it, you know, feel like real life. And don't get me started on the direction. It's all perfectly polished, perfectly staged, perfectly... fake. The scenes are flatter than a pancake on a Sunday brunch.

Now, let's talk Garfield. Bless him, he's trying his hardest. Really giving it some welly. But Florence Pugh? Ah, she's only gone and trotted out the same old facial expressions she's been flogging in every film since the dawn of time. There's nothing fresh about her performance.

As for the rest of the cast, well, they gave it a shot, didn't they? Can't fault 'em for trying.

Cinematography? Production design? Fine. Just fine. Music? About as memorable as elevator tunes.

Bottom line? Don't bother. Absolutely not worth the time.

The story is paper-thin, but the narration keeps things fun and suspenseful. The screenplay delivers some good laughs and a few dull moments.

Sathya's comedy steals the show in the first half, especially before the interval-some scenes are laugh-out-loud funny, while others miss the mark. Rohini's TV serial track is kind of flat this time around; not as hilarious as in the first part.

The second half brings in more crime and thrills, but only a few hit the right notes, with some feeling silly, and the climax is downright ridiculous.

Sri Simha, Fariah, Sunil, Vennela Kishore, and the rest of the cast give it their all.

The cinematography and sets look good, while the music is just average. The direction holds up well.

You can watch it for the comedy, but overall, it's a bit of a below-average ride.

Caught the Telugu dubbed version of this Malayalam flick in Hyderabad, and here's my take: The story has its highs and lows. There are a few interesting and fresh ideas, also a few parts are a bit silly and boring.

The screenplay is clumsy and uninteresting with some scenes standing out as exceptional and a lot of dull ones.

Tovino Thomas shines, playing three different roles across three time periods-he nailed it! My favorite was his thief character.

Surabhi Lakshmi, Krithi Shetty, and the rest of the cast also did a great job in their roles.

Aishwarya Rajesh's Cameo appearance added extra flavor to the film.

The production values are top-notch, with good cinematography.

The locations, sets, and costumes are all on point.

The background music sets the right mood, and the direction ties everything together.

The story falls flat due to weak writing. While a few scenes are dramatically well-executed, they fail to captivate the audience, making the movie feel tedious from the start. The progression in both writing and direction is lacking, raising the question of whether a sequel was necessary in the first place.

Joaquin Phoenix once again delivers a remarkable performance, but it is difficult to fully appreciate or enjoy it given the film's flaws.

Lady Gaga's portrayal of Harley Quinn is underwhelming.

Even Todd Phillips' competent direction does little to elevate the movie.

I don't recommend watching this film. Instead, revisit the original "Joker."

This flick's got a bit of a mix, innit? Some bits of the story are quite good, but a fair few are a bit daft.

The screenplay's got a few decent scenes here and there, but some parts just don't sit right.

A couple of plot twists are proper clever, while others fall flat on their face.

Seems like the director was having a go at copying that Hollywood action movie style-bit too much, if you ask me.

We've got a few cameo turns from some big names, Dhoni looking up in the cricket ground and Trisha popping up for a peppy dance are the best of the lot.

As for Thalapathy Vijay and the rest of the cast, they've given it a fair shot, bless 'em.

But the cinematography? Not much to write home about.

The music doesn't hit the mark either.

And that de-aging tech? Looks a bit like it's been done on a budget, mate.

All in all, it's a bit of alright if you're a die-hard Vijay fan, but don't expect too much, yeah?
