“The problem is—and it’s a big one—the dialogues are mirthless, the situations generic and predictable. Pampers get thrown into handbags, there are sexual innuendoes concerning shoes and socks, digs are aimed at the RCB cricket team, and there are even car chases and convenient coincidences to spice up proceedings… but this web-series never amounts to anything more than mundane chatter between cardboard characters.”

Tenet Movie Review: Many heady pleasures in a film that doesn’t exactly take your breath away
In fantasising over the possibilities of science, it must be noted that Christopher Nolan is stretching the possibilities of cinema too.
Soorarai Pottru Review: Suriya delivers an ace performance in this soaring, sensitive drama
Even being a cynic, I found myself buying into the heady optimism of this film’s message that should you stick with your dream and follow through, without giving up at the first scream or the first tears, you can taste success. It’s optimism, yes, but Soorarai Pottru offers it with dollops of practicality.
Miss India Movie Review: A woman sells tea in the US at the expense of us
“This film that tries to mean well for women has its central character, Manasa Samyuktha (Keerthy Suresh), telling a date that should a woman say that she’s thinking about a decision, it means it’s a yes, and that should she say yes, then she shouldn’t be thought of as a woman at all. To borrow a modern idiom, the mind really boggles.”
Putham Pudhu Kaalai Review: Sudha Kongara stars in an anthology that evokes mixed feelings
“It’s also fascinating to note that old people are integral parts of this new anthology. It’s a welcome development, is it not, that liberated from the rules surrounding feature films and star-centric cinema, these filmmakers are able to talk about an important section of society that’s damagingly stereotyped, even in the off-chance that they get depicted at all?”
