Thappad
Thappad is far from perfect. It has big ideas, but many of these are spoon-fed to the audience. Still, Anubhav Sinha's film merits a watch for its novel theme and an impressive performance from Taapsee Pannu.

Extraction
First-time director Sam Hargrave extracts stunning pieces of action from his cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel. He also gets the best out of his star, Chris Hemsworth. But the movie overall is overkill and not artistic enough to be taken seriously.

Trance
Trance is anchored by a powerful Fahadh Faasil performance. Also in the technical department, the film is exceptionally well made. Amal Neerad's career-best work as a cinematographer, Resul Pookutty's sound design, background score by Jackson Vijayan and Sushin Shyam, and most notably, Ajayan Challisery's art direction. Together with Fahadh Faasil, the technical members put in their A-game to make Trance quite a transcendent watching experience.

Love Action Drama
Love Action Drama has a cliched love story, some nicely done action and moments of inventive humor. What it lacks is a solid drama to captivate the viewer. The drama falls flat for the most part. The terrific combo of Aju Varghese and Nivin Pauly occasionally bring the house down with their comic timing, but the film is a stretch.

Lucifer
The strength of the political film lies in the strong ensemble cast, which includes seasoned actors and new-age stars. The plot of Lucifer is pretty simple, for a film with political elements. The script written by Murali Gopi has stunning dialogues and exchanges. Prithviraj has crafted a film with painstaking attention to detail.

Odiyan
The premise wears thin after a point, although Odiyan's fantasy world full of urban legends and razzmatazz are good enough to merit a watch. Keep your expectations in check, though.

Varathan
Varathan dwells on the voyeuristic traits of a society, which pries on women, and the protective role men have to play. While Amal Neerad tells the tale with admirable restraint two thirds of the film's run-time, he dilutes its provocation with his usual pet indulgences.
