Sir
Rohena Gera's Sir is a simple portrait of a relationship between a young architect and his live-in maid. Not a moment in this film seems unauthentic. And, while little seems eventful here, a lot of it still lingers in the mind long after the first viewing.

Dexter
Barring the slightly disappointing 6th and 8th seasons, Dexter is an incredible series that will reward your time. Just the premise of the show itself is chilling and fascinating.

Fighter
Fighter has a contrasting set of emotions that make it slightly hard to digest. Despite the acting chops of its leads and its occasionally stunning action, Fighter zips through at such a high velocity that it hardly gives us enough time to register even some of its best moments in our heads.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas may not be peak Sriram Raghavan, but it works mainly as a drama with great relationship dynamics. It is just a joy to watch its two leads, Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi, at almost the top of their game. The film is also available in Hindi, but this review is of the Tamil version.

Dunki
Dunki deals with a serious subject matter, but Raju Hirani treats it with his trademark humor and broad stroke-filled storytelling. This affects the film more negatively than positively. Nevertheless, the film has its merits that make it watchable.

Salaar
With Prashanth Neel, the higher the stakes, the greater the highs, and the more elaborate the drama, the better the output. This is something he has proven with KGF 2, and "Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire" is likely to tread a similar path. Warts and all, what a film!

The Archies
Because the movie is set in an idyllic world where things resolve themselves, none of its big ideas pop. There is a serious lack of conflict in the movie, which means a great deal of predictability.

Mast Mein Rehne Ka
The film takes a while to get going and moves at a rather lethargic pace, but the characters are so endearing and the performances are so strong that they alone make up for the minor flaws.

Animal
Unconventional storytelling and strong performances drive Vanga's raw, sometimes compelling film about a man with animalistic instincts and a toxic marriage. But a generic second half and an unsuitable father-son angle keep it from realizing its full potential.

Jaane Jaan
Sujoy Ghosh's "Jaane Jaan" has gaping plot holes and clunky elements. However, strong performances from its lead actors, the atmospherics, and an intriguing plot make it an engaging watch.

Haddi
Haddi treats its transgender protagonist with a great deal of dignity and has a wonderful love story. However, writer-director Akshat Ajay Sharma's writing is so devoid of meat that the film does not make us root for most of its characters.

Friday Night Plan
The set-up is cheesy and the scenarios are flimsy on paper, but writer Vatsal Neelakantan has a real feel for how teenagers talk. The film's deliberate use of half English and half Hindi makes the conversation seem urban, fun, and reasonably authentic.

Bawaal
There is engaging marital drama in Bawaal. The performances are good and the filmmaking is nice in parts. But the insensitive treatment of its material makes it hard to embrace.
