"#OG Satisfactory 1st Half First half is a typical savior gangster drama so far. This half was more of setup with many character introductions and felt pretty flat till the superb interval block which came out well. PKs presence stands out with especially in the intro and interval blocks. Thaman is the life of the film. 2nd Half Awaits #TheyCallHimOG"

"#MithraMandali A Buddy Comedy That Feels Forced and Tests Your Patience The film doesnt have much of a storyline or plot. This is usually fine for this kind of farce comedy. However when the humor itself feels lifeless and fails to evoke genuine laughs it becomes a real test of patience. The director manages to write a few witty one-liners but the sequence of events and the over the top treatment quickly turn irritating. Satya is the saving grace and delivers the only bits of comedy that actually land. The rest of the cast despite being capable performers fail to make an impression due to the"

"#OG A Run of the Mill Gangster Drama that is technically strong and has a few solid elevation blocks but the rest is mundane The first half of the film is satisfactory. Despite the drama moving in a flat way it manages to build intrigue. The intro and interval block are well done. However the 2nd half doesnt engage much and is filled with impactless elevation blocks. It also gets confusing at times due to too many characters and subplots. The biggest issue in the film is that almost every scene feels like an elevation with not much happening and without a proper build up. While Sujeeth excels"

"#IdliKadai Ordinary 1st Half Predictable and generic so far slipping into the melodramatic zone at times. A few emotional moments work well along with the lead performances that are carrying the film so far"

"#IdliKadai A Mid Rural Drama that had a decent emotional setup up but wasnt able to capitalize and derails in the 2nd half The plot is simple and predictable with its emotional core centered on the father-son relationship built around an idly shop. These emotional moments in the first half work decently though they are melodramatic at times. Just when it seems the film will build on this setup the second half shifts into a conventional hero-villain conflict that feels weak stretched out and lacks an impact. The lead performances stand out. Dhanush once again delivers with conviction while"

"#KantaraChapter1 Solid 1st Half The first half is fairly engaging setting up the world of Kantara in an interesting way. There are a few filler sequences that are ineffective and slow down the pace at times but do not bore. Technicalities stand out. Pre Interval to Interval Block is the highlight so far. Sets up well for the 2nd half"

"#KantaraChapter1 A Solid Prequel that is technically superb and has a fair share of theater worthy sequences that work well despite a few narration dips and slow pacing at times The film picks up right where the first installment leaves off and establishes the backstory effectively. In the first half the filler sequences in the middle dont quite land but the introduction and the pre-interval to interval stretch are executed very well. The second half also has a few dips yet even here there are standout blocks and the climax once again delivers strongly like the first installment. Rishabh"

"#Dude Engaging 1st Half Though predictable it engages for the most part hitting all the beats of a proper rom-com so far. There are a few pacing dips and the comedy feels a bit off at first and but lands well by the interval. 2nd Half Awaits"

"#Dude A Mid Rom-Com with a Fairly Engaging First Half but a Lackluster Second Half The film hits all the familiar beats of a typical rom-com. The first half starts off a bit slow but picks up well toward the pre-interval ending with a well-executed interval block. However the second half despite a promising start quickly falls flat and never recovers. Director Keerthiswaran sets up the film with potential but falters in the screenplay particularly in the latter half. Pradeep and Mamitha perform well as expected while Sai Abhinayakar makes an impressive debut and elevates scenes when needed."

"#TelusuKada Average 1st Half Starts slow and feels ordinary until the unconventional plot point is revealed during the pre-interval. Siddu is solely carrying the film with his performance and timing. The BGM feels loud and mostly out of sync. Needs a better 2nd half"

"#Madharaasi An Underwhelming Action Thriller That Starts Off Promising but Goes Haywire in the Second Half The film opens with an interesting setup that seemed promising. Although the romantic thread hampers the flow with back to back songs the narrative regains some momentum by the interval. However the second half is completely lackluster and goes nowhere. The film drags on endlessly the expected payoffs never arrive and it ultimately feels too lengthy and tiring. ARM once again comes up with an idea with potential but falters in execution. SK did well along with the supporting cast."

"#KRamp A Silly Outdated Film thats Over the Top from Start to Finish The film follows a very simple story with a routine to the core screenplay that weve seen countless times before. This might have worked for a genre that aims purely to entertain but here the comedy and entertainment quotient go completely overboard crossing into the cringe zone and feeling outright silly. The director manages to make only a few comedy bits land while the rest of the writing is poor and lacks any real depth. Kiran Abbavaram brings his usual energy to the role though it feels repetitive given his past"
