Baradwaj Rangan Movie Reviews

Laal Singh Chaddha
Review

Advait Chandan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha', with Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor, has its issues but is an easy watch

Raksha Bandhan
Review

Aanand L Rai's 'Raksha Bandhan', with Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar, is an anti-dowry drama that's more fascinating in theory than on the big screen

Sita Ramam
Review

Hanu Raghavapudi's Sita Ramam, with Dulquer Salmaan, is a gorgeous big-screen romance that could have used more edge, more depth

Kuruthi Aattam
Review

Sri Ganesh's 'Kuruthi Aattam', starring Atharvaa and Priya Bhavani Shankar, is a series of action set pieces with no emotional glue to bind them together

Darlings
Review

Alia Bhatt scores another big win as a survivor of domestic abuse in Jasmeet K Reen’s ‘Darlings’, which also has a terrific Shefali Shah and Vijay Varma, and is now on Netflix.

Victim
Review

'Victim', now on SonyLiv, is another mediocre anthology, with only Pa Ranjith's short standing out

Avasavyuham
Review

Krishand's Aavasavyuham, now on SonyLiv, is an eco-drama that’s a brilliant subversion of both form and content.

Gulu Gulu
Review

Rathna Kumar’s ‘Gulu Gulu’, starring Santhanam, is an ambitious effort, but it plays like separate parts of a jigsaw puzzle that never come together

Ek Villain Returns
Review

Mohit Suri's 'Ek Villain Returns' is a serial-killer sequel that's about as scary as a teddy bear

Vikrant Rona
Review

Anup Bhandari's visually stunning 'Vikrant Rona', starring Kichcha Sudeepa, is underwhelming due to the unfocused writing

The Gray Man
Review

In Anthony and Joe Russo's The Gray Man, now on Netflix, the characters matter less than the series of not-bad action set pieces

Malayankunju
Review

Fahadh Faasil aces another role in Sajimon Prabhakar's 'Malayankunju', which transforms a survival drama into an intense tale of redemption

Nodi Swamy Ivanu Irode Heege
Review

Islahuddin's 'Nodi Swamy Ivanu Irode Heege', on Zee5 and starring Rishi, is a tedious try at non-stop quirkiness

Mahaveeryar
Review

Despite some pacing issues, Abrid Shine's 'Mahaveeryar', with Nivin Pauly and Asif Ali, is an utterly original creation that's bizarre in the best way

Shabaash Mithu
Review

Srijit Mukherji's 'Shabaash Mithu', starring Taapsee Pannu, is a not-bad biopic that has its moments

Gargi
Review

Sai Pallavi and Kaali Venkat are in top form in Gautham Ramachandran's ‘Gargi’, a beautifully made drama about a woman’s fight for justice

Iravin Nizhal
Review

In 'Iravin Nizhal', R Parthiban pulls off a technical feat that's always fascinating, even if the film remains a bit distant

Panni Kutty
Review

Anucharan's disappointing 'Panni Kutty' is a satire on superstition with just a few mild laughs

Paka
Review

A powerful Romeo-Juliet story that puts aside the romance to focus on the endless cycle of revenge between the two families

Rocketry
Review

R Madhavan's 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect' tries to do too much, resulting in very little insight into its protagonist

Innale Vare
Review

Jis Joy's 'Innale Vare' is a pretty engaging thriller with Asif Ali and Nimisha Sajayan in top form

777 Charlie
Review

Rakshit Shetty and the labrador are terrific in Kiranraj K's '777 Charlie', but the film's ambition is not matched by the execution

Samrat Prithviraj
Review

Chandraprakash Dwivedi and Akshay Kumar serve us a tedious and overly talky historical epic

Vikram
Review

Lokesh Kanagaraj and Kamal Haasan make history by giving Tamil cinema its first real genre-specific

Review

Abhijith Joseph's cop-thriller 'John Luther', starring Jayasurya, has some good ideas that are let down by the writing
