Telugu · 2026

A fun first half, then a second half that throws away what it built. Venkatesh is easy to watch, but the film around him is not.

Jailer 2

2.9

Tamil · 2026

A fun first half and a second half that runs out of ideas. Rajinikanth carries it, and the rest is the familiar formula.

From 6 published reviews

Baththa

3.9

Tamil · 2026

A warm, funny gangster story that every critic we could check enjoyed. Vijay Sethupathi and a child actor carry it.

From 4 published reviews

Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai

Tamil · 2026

A film about compassion that most critics could not forgive for using AI-made images to say it.

From 3 published reviews

Dorothy

Tamil · 2026

Karthik Subbaraj at his bravest and his most divisive. Two extraordinary performances in a story that softens nothing.

From 3 published reviews

Meesaya Murukku 2

2.6

Tamil · 2026

A real subject — who gets to be taken seriously in music — handled with speeches instead of a story.

From 4 published reviews

The Paradise

Telugu · 2026

Nani gives it everything and the film gives him almost nothing back. A strong idea buried under three hours of noise.

From 6 published reviews

Sardar 2

2.2

Tamil · 2026

Karthi is good in both roles. The film around him is an hour too long and never finds the tension the first Sardar had.

Mandaadi

2.75

Tamil · 2026

The boat races are genuinely exciting and Soori is excellent. Everything that happens on land is much weaker.

From 5 published reviews

Hi

2.8

Tamil · 2026

A likeable, easy-going romance that runs on its two leads rather than its script.

Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups

2.6

Kannada · 2026

It looks stunning. The story is a mess.

From 7 published reviews

Modha Rathri

3.5

Tamil · 2026

A warm, funny, sharply observed wedding-night comedy from a first-time director who clearly knows this world. Uneven in the second half, and worth your time anyway.

Bethlehem Kudumba Unit

3.6

Malayalam · 2026

The most enjoyable film of the month. It wins on charm, not on new ideas.

From 3 published reviews

Irumudi

3.2

Telugu · 2026

Ravi Teja plays it quiet for once, and it is the most interesting thing he has done in years.

From 3 published reviews

Insidious: Out of the Further

2.6

English · 2026

A fresh start for the series, with just enough new ideas to justify itself.

From 4 published reviews

Vishwanath & Sons

Tamil · 2026

Suriya is excellent and the first half earns its emotion. The second half throws it away.

From 3 published reviews

Awarapan 2

2.8

Hindi · 2026

Emraan Hashmi is having a great time. The script is not keeping up with him.

From 3 published reviews

DC

3.3

Tamil · 2026

A sad gangster story, and a director who turns out to be a good actor.

From 3 published reviews

Ayogya 2

Kannada · 2026

A comfortable sequel that gives fans of the first film exactly what they came for, and nothing more.
