An audacious experiment that works more than it does not

“It’s a film that has been—and will be—mainly talked about for its chief conceit of having only one cast member, and for being shot in a single room, but there’s more.”

Gang Leader Movie Review: A fascinating premise that deserved a more satisfying film

“The checkpoints aren’t the problem. The conveniently rushed journeys are. It’s the director channeling his inner Steve Austin: “Cause I said so.””

Sivappu Manjal Pachai Movie Review: This simple film lacks finesse, but is still likeable

“What I liked about this film is that it isn’t a film about whether the cop can reform the street racer. It’s about something more rooted, more relatable. It’s about whether these two can live as, and I’m not kidding, maaman-machaan.”

Saaho Movie Review: Lavish filmmaking can’t rescue convoluted writing

“Like its protagonist, Saaho, whose fingers twitch in anticipation of a fight, this film is overzealous about showing off its budget, and what better way than through action sequences—by a Hollywood stunt choreographer—never mind their purpose.”

Comali Movie Review: An interesting premise fails to bear fruit

“Films like #Comali try to convince you that the way to win over a woman is to stare and stare hard at her exposed waist. The director even gives us details of how the folds of her waist move, based on the type of bajji she makes.”
