Synopsis:It is the twists that Ravikumar gives to concepts that we have seen in several Hollywood films - superpowers, UFOs, extra-terrestrials, powerful robots, femme fatales, large-scale destruction - that makes Ayalaan an entertainer for all ages.

Dhanush, Sundeep Kishan, Kaali Venkat, Priyanka Mohan, Shivaraj Kumar
Critic's Rating: 3.5
Avg. Users' Rating:
Synopsis:With a socio-political undertone, just like Arun Matheshwara's previous films, caste discrimination is what rakes up the story and ultimately conveys a message that is relevant even today, despite being set in the pre-Independence era.

Critic's Rating: 3.0
Avg. Users' Rating:
Synopsis:The film moves at a breakneck pace and given the dense world building, it often gives the impression that it is playing out at 1.5x speed (the editor is RS Sathish Kumar).

Synopsis:It has to be said that the film would have been way less interesting if Rajinikanth didn't feature in it. His magnetic presence surely elevates Lal Salaam.

Critic's Rating: 2.5

Synopsis:Konjam Pesinaal Yenna is an easy breezy watch as long as it just follows the leads’ love story and doesn't try to be too inventive just for the sake of it or doesn't have a mother give a forceful lecture to her daughter.

Critic's Rating: 2.5
Avg. Users' Rating:
Synopsis:PT Sir will be a more appealing watch if we look at it from the perspective that this is a commercial entertainer that’s aimed at reaching and spreading awareness to a larger crowd rather than a nuanced take on the sexual harassment that a woman goes through.

Sathish, Simran Gupta, Pavel Navageethan, John Vijay
Critic's Rating: 2.5
Avg. Users' Rating:
Synopsis:Vithaikkaaran is a film that works best when the comedy and drama elements are intertwined. The film suffers when it gets into full-on serious mode, as these portions don't work as well as its dark comedy moments and meta-jokes.
Siren
16 Feb 2024 | 2 hrs 35 mins

jayam ravi, Keerthy Suresh, Anupama Parameswaran, Samuthirakani, Yogi Babu
Critic's Rating: 2.5
Avg. Users' Rating:
Synopsis:With dialogues like ‘There are two angels in a man’s life, one who is born for him and another who is born to him,’ it's clear that Siren goes for a slightly melodramatic tone where the emotions are heightened. The film will work for those who prefer those elements in a film, but it won't work for those who don't.

| Tamil | Drama, Horror, Thriller | UA
Vidharth, Poorna, Thrigun, Subhashree
Critic's Rating: 2.5
Avg. Users' Rating:
Synopsis:Basically, Devil is filled with men with 'mommy issues’ and self-reliant women who are expected to mother their partners. But, what works in Devil's favor is that the film has a wonderfully subtle Poorna at the center of it.
