Sivakarthikeyan's maiden production venture, "Kanaa" is a blend of emotions, sports and responsible filmmaking that puts forth some pertinent questions without being preachy. Read Review
2.0 (TAMIL)
Rajinikanth , Amy Jackson , Akshay Kumar Sudhanshu Pandey
Director: S. Shankar
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
The Rajinikanth starrer is more of director Shankar's showcasing of his visual mastery than a film that leans on a strong plot. Watch it only for the visual effects and the hype! Read Review
Imaikkaa Nodigal (TAMIL)
Nayanthara , Atharvaa , Raashi Khanna Anurag Kashyap
Director: Ajay Gnanamuthu
Trailer |

User Rating:
The movie is a solid thriller that dishes out the right amount of twists and turns along the way with some decent action. Read Review
Tamizh Padam 2 (TAMIL)
Shiva , Iswarya Menon , Sathish Disha Pandey
Director: CS Amudhan
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Thamizh Padam 2 is a rollicking spoof that tickles your funny nerves. Had it been a bit crisper with spoofs that leaned more on Kollywood's stereotypes and cliches without looking to target a particular movie or celebrity, it could have been a smashing joyride! Still, this ride is worth your time!! Read Review
Seethakathi (TAMIL)
Vijay Sethupathi , Remya Nambeesan , Gayathrie Shankar J. Mahendran
Director: Balaji Tharaneetharan
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
The movie takes the unconventional route with a satirical narration on modern day cinema and superstardom. Though the movie was a tad slow, it was a novel attempt. Read Review
Pariyerum Perumal (TAMIL)
Kathir , Anandhi , Yogi Babu Lijeesh
Director: Ram Selvaraj
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Pariyerum Perumal is a strong and hard-hitting statement on the ugly face of the caste system and its effect on the society at large. Read Review
Savarakathi (TAMIL)
Ram , Shamna Kasim (Poorna) , Mysskin Nassar
Director: G. R. Athithya
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Mysskin continues to amaze with his dense and layered writing. And this time it's the humour that plays out like a charm! Read Review
Thaana Serndha Kootam holds the entertainment quotient high with a presentation filled with whacks and quirks! Worth a watch!! Read Review
96 (TAMIL)
Vijay Sethupathi , Trisha , Gouri G Kishan Aaditya Bhaskar
Director: C Prem Kumar
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
96 is a slow burning romantic drama on a burnt out romantic tale that has a fresh and poignant narrative coupled with natural performances from everyone on screen. Read Review
Raatchasan (TAMIL)
Vishnu Vishal , Amala Paul , Kaali Venkat Ramdoss
Director: Ramkumar
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Ratsasan is gripping, but it could have scaled greater heights with better actors and a tighter narrative. Read Review
Naachiaar (TAMIL)
G. V. Prakash Kumar , Jyothika , Rockline Venkatesh Ivana
Director: Bala
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Naachiyaar certainly adds a variety to Bala's body of work, as it stands out for a solidly written script that is driven by nuanced emotions and is engaging at the same time. Read Review
The movie is a family entertainer that almost had its masala in the right proportions barring a few standard cliches that hampered it from being classified as a 'must-watch' one. Read Review
Nota (TAMIL)
Vijay Deverakonda , Mehreen Kaur Pirzada , Nassar Sathyaraj
Director: Anand Shankar
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
NOTA works in bits and pieces due to its audacious political commentary on the current political ecosystem. But as a film, it was just about average. Read Review
Kolamavu Kokila (TAMIL)
Nayanthara , Yogi Babu , Saranya Ponvannan Jacqueline
Director: Nelson
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Koko largely wins due to a fresh screenplay and some solid performances from its supporting cast that was quite funny! Read Review
U turn (TAMIL)
Samantha Ruth Prabhu , Rahul Ravindran ,
Director: Pawan Kumar
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
The Tamil version of Pawan Kumar's U-turn is a faithful remake of its original that could have benefitted from casting Sharaddha as the lead once again. However, it still stands out for its content and presentation! Read Review
Nadigaiyar Thilagam (TAMIL)
Keerthy Suresh , Samantha Ruth Prabhu , Dulquer Salman Vijay Deverakonda
Director: Nag Ashwin
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Do watch the movie for the brilliant work from director Nag Ashwin and his team and a potential national award-winning performance from Keerthy Suresh!! Read Review
Adanga Maru (TAMIL)
Jayam Ravi , Raashi Khanna , Sampath Raj Munish Kanth
Director: Karthik Thangavel
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Debutant Karthik Thangavel's 'Adanga Maru' attempts to narrate the same old cop revenge saga with a fresh narrative and falls just short of delivering the goods! Read Review
