#DC - A dark tone action film with some really well written and beautiful love stories. The action blocks are staged really well. The way women are portrayed in the film other filmmakers should learn. Anirudh literally went to another level musically.
4.20/5
#GattaKusthi2 - Barring the initial 25 minutes, the rest of the first half was engaging without any dull moments. The second half was fun-filled and entertaining. Karunas and Kali Venkat's portions worked really well, and many of the one-liners landed perfectly.
#BalanTheBoy - Good visuals and neat making.The first half feels stretched, while the second half is good.Tighter editing in several scenes could have reduced the runtime.The climax twist doesn't fully live up to the buildup, but it's still decent.Overall, a decent film.
3.5/5
#Concity - A boring screenplay ruined this interesting story. It had the potential to become a decent-to-good film. Some portions and scenes had genuinely good ideas but failed in execution. Better casting could also have made it watchable.Overall, a below-average film.
2.75/5
#DoubleOccupancy - Different storyline, timepass watch with worst climax. Predictable screenplay and twists. But engaging unique fantasy scenes makes this as bearable watch
3.25/5
#Parimalaandco - A decent story let down by a terrible screenplay. It fails to work as either a comedy or a thriller. The narration feels flat throughout, with predictable, formulaic twists that feel forced rather than engaging.
2.25/5
That said, the film does have its flaws, with a few illogical moments and some unnecessary scenes in the first half. Overall, a decent time-pass watch.
3.75/5
#GattaKusthi2 - Barring the initial 25 minutes, the rest of the first half was engaging without any dull moments. The second half was fun-filled and entertaining. Karunas and Kali Venkat's portions worked really well, and many of the one-liners landed perfectly.
The first half was average, while the second half was good and engaging. If the film had been trimmed to around 2.5 hours and the love track had been removed, it could have been a much better experience. Overall, an above average film.
3.75/5
#Peddi - A genuinely unique and interesting plot. The biggest drawback was the runtime, which felt unnecessarily stretched. Janhvi Kapoor's character was a major letdown for such a promising story, and the vulgar portions felt uncomfortable and unnecessary.
#MollywoodTimes - Not everyone's cup of tea, but it's one of my favorite genres. The first 40 minutes were really engaging, with excellent BGM and solid filmmaking. The first half was good, while the second half was average. A few portions felt repetitive and dragged a bit.
#Leader - A random and messy first half, but a really good and engaging second half. The multiple twists throughout the film keep pulling you back whenever it starts to feel a little dragged. The latter half works well, backed by fantastic making and visuals.
The intro and interval portions stand out, but apart from those, everything feels flat. The second half, in particular is very average. Overall, a average watch.
3.85/5
#Kara - Not a fan of Por Thozhil, but that film at least had enough twists to keep things engaging. This one, however, moves in a straight line without a single major plot twist, which becomes a huge drawback. It feels predictable and tiring throughout.
#Kaalidas - Romba romba sumaar. Genuinely liked the first part, which is why I gave this one a try, but it ended up being a disappointment overall. The miscasting, the reason behind the twist, and the pacing make it quite hard to sit through.
