Synopsis:Exactly four years ago, in 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. The global shut down was so quick that people hardly had any time to process. But, humans were quick to adapt. From online challenges to online breathing exercises to Dalgona coffee, the world moved online very quickly. But, there was one section of society that was almost forgotten – the migrants and their journey back home.

Synopsis:Directed by Srinivas Raju, Krishnam Pranaya Sakhi marks a departure from his usual crime dramas, venturing into the romantic comedy genre. The film, though formulaic and somewhat predictable, is brought to life by Ganesh's charismatic performance.

Synopsis:The characters and the atmosphere surrounding Keshava are well-crafted. The story, though simple with everyday characters and events, stands out due to its unique treatment.

Synopsis:Written and directed by Rakesh Kadri, the maker has simply put a few quirky characters in a room and has let them be. He doesn’t unnecessarily add any extra layer to the story or the characters. The movie sure initially tests the patience with a repeated pattern, but that is just the director warming up the audience for a fun ride

Synopsis:Bheema, Vijay Kumar’s directorial after Salaga, is written for a mass audience and he has been clear about it from the get go. The movie is written for him and his fans, by him, so one can expect a lot of fan service. He pulls out every stop to make sure that all boxes of a commercial entertainer are ticked. The first half takes off well with an interesting approach and a lot of relatable jokes. However, the second half falters because of a formulaic approach with no space for any kind of experimentation.

Synopsis:Though the storyline is simple, director Prawin Avyukth has built the narration creatively. However, some of the fight sequences and action set pieces look very fake and curated. Dull car-chasing sequence and meek dialogues have worked against the film. Rajvardhan looks stylish in his mass avatar.

Synopsis:Has he been kidnapped, has he run away, what has become of him... forms the crux of the story. While the story revolves around this one village, its politics, a conspiracy and a murder, there is a parallel sub-plot that revolves around friendship and love. Some parts of the screenplay tends to complicate the story, but the later half of this film can be a treat for those who love courtroom dramas.
