Housefull 5 movie review: In the Akshay Kumar-starrer, the real comedian, Johnny Lever, takes a backseat while the cruise sails full speed ahead in a tide of obscene jokes and crass humour. If this is what Bollywood thinks comedy is, we might need a national sense of humour check.
Thug Life movie review: Directed by Mani Ratnam, 'Thug Life', starring Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan, is a gangster drama with emotional beats. While the film had a great set-up pre-interval, it falls into a deep pit in the second half and there is no turning back – even for a legend like Mani Ratnam.
Bhairavam movie review: This Telugu family drama directed by Vijay Kanakamedala stars Manoj Manchu, Bellamkonda Sai Srinivas and Nara Rohith in the lead. The film packs a good emotional punch despite the template story, says our review.

Chidiya movie review: 'Chidiya' is a heartfelt film about two brothers facing early adulthood challenges in Mumbai. It explores dreams, family bonds, and the resilience needed to overcome life's hurdles.
Kesari Veer movie review: Kesari Veer, despite its grand scale and star cast, fails to deliver a compelling historical drama. The film's poor execution and weak CGI undermine its potential impact.
Narivetta movie review: Director Anuraj Manohar's 'Narivetta' is based on the 2003 Muthanga incident that led to the loss of lives after a clash between police officers and the Adivasi community. The film's gripping narrative post-interval makes up for its sluggish first half.
Lilo and Stitch movie review: The live-action remake beautifully captures the essence of the beloved 2002 animated classic with heartfelt performances and emotional depth. This charming film celebrates the spirit of family and friendship against the stunning backdrop of Hawaii, making it a delightful watch for all ages, says our review.
In 'Bhool Chuk Maaf', pregnancy jokes and outdated concepts of love are given way more importance than an attempt at bringing a progressive story from the heartland of India. Even Rajkummar Rao can't save this lost in a loop, lacking in love film.
Ace movie review: Director Arumugakumar's 'Ace', starring Vijay Sethupathi, Rukmini Vasanth and BS Avinash, is a heist drama that relies heavily on one character. The film's convenient writing is its biggest letdown.
Tom Cruise once again dazzles with breathtaking stunts and nostalgia in 'Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning', proving his unmatched dedication to action cinema. Despite some narrative flaws, the film stands out for its thrilling sequences and Cruise's charisma, even at 62.
Anaganaga movie review: This Telugu drama film, starring Sumanth in the lead, keeps a mirror in front of the present education system, and hits the right emotional chords to shine light on the problem and the solution.
DD Next Level movie review: Director Prem Anand's 'DD Next Level', starring Santhanam, Selvaraghavan and Geethika Tiwary, is a horror movie spoof. Barring a few fun gags, the film is replete with outdated fart jokes.
Maaman movie review: Director Prasanth Pandiyaraj's' 'Maaman' starring Soori, Aishwarya Lekshmi and Swasika, is a family drama that explores the relationship between a doting uncle and his nephew. While the film sets up nice conflicts, it often gets subverted due to skewed ideas about family.
'Bloodlines', the latest 'Final Destination' film, sets a chilling modern-day tale of death and curses. With innovative death scenes and a gripping family curse, it offers scares and surprises despite some flaws. Read our review.
'Subham', Samantha Ruth Prabhu's debut production, offers a quirky, light-hearted blend of horror and comedy. Directed by 'Cinema Bandi''s Praveen Kandregula, the film tackles social themes with humour. Read our review.
'Single' movie review: Directed by Caarthick Raju, 'Single' is a slapstick comedy about a love triangle between Sree Vishnu, Ivana and Ketika Sharma. The film, although has an illogical plot, serves as a good timepass flick to watch and laugh in abandon.
Tourist Family review: Director Abishan Jeevinth's 'Tourist Family' starring Sasikumar, Simran, Mithun Jai Shankar and Kamalesh, is a beautiful drama about humanity. It's also a brilliant example of what simple films can evoke in you.
'HIT: The Third Case' is the third instalment from the successful HIT universe created by director Sailesh Kolanu. The film stars Telugu actor Nani and Srinidhi Shetty of KGF fame in the lead. The third part of the franchise has scaled up considerably and attempts to gain more mass appeal, but does it work?
Retro movie review: Director Karthik Subbaraj's 'Retro', starring Suriya, Joju George and Pooja Hegde, is an overstuffed love story with a gangster backdrop. While the film begins on a spectacular note, it fizzles as it progresses.
In the film 'The Bhootnii', Sanjay Dutt and Sunny Singh deliver a lackluster performance in a horror-comedy that fails to amuse or engage audiences. Despite its attempt at blending romance and supernatural elements, the film ends up as an uninspired two-hour ordeal.
