Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Baahubali 2 certainly places itself in a league of its own, in terms of script and making and throws a challenge at filmmakers to up the ante, not only in terms of budget but also in terms of coming up with a saleable script! Read Review
Maanagaram (TAMIL)
Sundeep Kishan , Regina Cassandra , Charlie Ramdoss
Director: Lokesh Kanagaraj
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
This is going to be one of the few reviews that spells out the verdict first and then would delve into how grittily the screenplay was knitted with a fine craft!. And, the verdict is: GO FOR IT! Read Review
Vikram Vedha (TAMIL)
Vijay Sethupathi , R. Madhavan , Shraddha Srinath Kathir
Director: Pushkar Gayathri
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
As directors, Pushkar and Gayathri have done a decent job, but the movie always felt like lacking something - may be our sensibilities have been tuned to approach a 'don' movie with 'mass packed' elements or did this movie really miss the mark by a whisker? I would leave it to the readers to watch and decide. Recommended for those seeking a 'neo' don thriller! Read Review
Bogan (TAMIL)
Jayam Ravi , Arvind Swamy , Hansika Motwani Nassar
Director: Laxman
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Director Lakshmanan should certainly be congratulated for coming up with an almost engaging thriller that could have been better in certain ways and much better off without a traditional Tamil loosu ponnu heroine! Read Review

Director: Radha Mohan

Oru Kidayin Karunai Manu (TAMIL)
Vidharth , Raveena Ravi ,
Director: Suresh Sangaiah
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
This is yet another small budget movie that deserves to knock the international arena through film festivals, as Kollywood continues to churn that odd world movie every now and then as if to wash off its sins from the mindlessly churned out mass masalas. Read Review
Velaikaran (TAMIL)
Sivakarthikeyan , Fahadh Faasil , Nayanthara Prakash Raj
Director: Mohan Rajan
Critic Rating:
User Rating:

Director: K. V. Anand
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
A movie on unethical journalism is nothing new to Tamil cinema (Vanchinathan, the 2001 Vijayakanth movie), it has been perfectly scripted by Subha and executed by KV Anand's team with a lot of masala and glamour for a broader audience and a greater box-office appeal. Read Review
Thupparivalan (TAMIL)
Vishal , Andrea Jeremiah , Vinay Rai Prasanna

Director: Arivazhagan

As a coming-of-age medical thriller with deep rooted sentimental values, Kuttram 23 targets the family audiences and makes itself worthy of a watch. Good job Arivazhagan and team..! Read Review

Kadugu (TAMIL)
Bharath , Radhika Prasidhha , Subiksha Rajakumaran
Director: Vijay Milton
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Mustard (Kadugu), an inconspicuous but an essential ingredient for a palatable meal, serves as the title for a movie with the inconspicuous Rajakumaran (more popularly known to be actress Devayani's husband) playing the lead. Well, the spice has served its purpose with zest. Read Review
