'Dridam' review: Shane Nigam shoulders a delightfully deceptive thriller with an immensely rewarding ending

'Dridam' review: Shane Nigam shoulders a delightfully deceptive thriller with an immensely rewarding ending

'The Devil Wears Prada 2' review: In the age of AI, Miranda Priestly's still here to slay

'Kara' review: Dhanush's thriller, directed by Vignesh Raja, is technically ambitious, emotionally inert

Despite being rooted in strong emotions, the film fails to rise beyond surface-level drama. However, it gives Vignesh Raja enough opportunities to stage some of the most elaborate and suspenseful heist sequences ever put to film

'Michael' review: Euphoria-inducing biopic, electrifying tale of liberation

'Michael' review: Euphoria-inducing biopic, electrifying tale of liberation

It's important to approach 'Michael' for what it is than what someone else wants it to be. What Antoine Fuqua has to offer us is a sufficiently heartwarming tale of a man who wanted to free himself from the grip of his toxic father

'Oru Durooha Saahacharyathil' review: Kunchacko Boban, Dileesh Pothan, and Chidambaram stand out in a bizarrely constructed film

'Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam' review: A 'Drishyam' model comedy with a Looney Tunes sensibility, a superior sequel

'Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam' review: A 'Drishyam' model comedy with a Looney Tunes sensibility, a superior sequel

The Saiju Kurup-starrer takes proper care to ensure that this follow-up, despite the genre shift, feels like a natural extension of "Bharathanatyam" as the sequel picks up right after the first
