Animal's violence isn't for the fainted-hearted unless you have an appetite for Korean style mayhem, like Sukanya Verma.

After the debacle of the first episodes of Season 6, the latter half give an even-handed treatment to intriguing not-so-well-known events of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, observes Vaihayasi Pande Daniel.

The play-off between Prabhas and Prithviraj is the high-octane fuel that lends Salaar momentum, observes Mayur Sanap.

Had it not been for Pankaj Tripathi, who must have worked hard to get those Vajpayee intonations and mannerisms so perfectly well, Ravi Jadhav's flattering portrait of Vajpayee would have been more vacuous than what we get to see, observes Prasanna Zore.

Despite its flaws, you can watch Karmma Calling if you like the glitz and drama of the ultra-rich, notes Mohnish Singh.

Lal Salaam is not a movie A Ganesh Nadar would recommend.

All India Rank achieves a fine balance of authenticity and sensitivity in the fine portrayals of its young actors and old.

Operation Valentine follows the templates of similar Air Force narratives to deliver some rousing, harmless fun time, observes Arjun Menon.

Another season of these legal antics would be welcome, applauds Deepa Gahlot.

The Naxal movement has such a complex history that several books have been written to understand it. Bastar: The Naxal Story seeks to reduce it to bullet points and stereotypes, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Scoop seems like they conclude he is but Vaihayasi Pande Daniel recommends that you watch the film to find out for yourselves.

Vineeth Sreenivasan deserves applause for striving to blend the past with the present and revoking your memories, states Divya Nair.

Ranneeti: Balakot And Beyond veers between intriguing and boring, observes Deepa Gahlot.

If you are looking for an average political thriller with good performances, Thalamai Seyalagam may interest you, suggests Divya Nair.

Baahubali has generated an enterprise of television spin-offs, video games, graphic novels and what not, but a memorable Game Of Thrones it is not, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Guruvayoorambala Nadayil is a no-holds-barred, silly comedy that will keep you glued to the screen even when the going gets tough towards the end but the smile on your face will not leave, observes Arjun Menon.

The Kalki Universe might just take off, but it will still owe its gee-whizery to Hollywood movies, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Given that Twelve Final Days doesn't really delve into the genesis of Roger Federer, the ups and downs of his career, the assumption is that it is meant for people who are already familiar with his work, observes Deepti Patwardhan.

Prabhas may be the face of Kalki 2898 AD's heroics but the real bang for your buck is delivered in Amitabh Bachchan's indefatigable energy providing Kalki's biggest wolf-whistle moments, applauds Sukanya Verma.

Malayalee From India is trapped within its self-serving corniness and refuses to break free in the process, observes Arjun Menon.

A lot of time is spent on giving us the background of the story and establishing the characters but the film is named Kalki and the man is not even born, notes A Ganesh Nadar.

Through Manorathangal, M T Vasudevan Nair makes himself available to a whole new generation of uninitiated viewers, who can familiarise themselves with his rich body of work and hope to learn a thing or two about life in all its messy grandeur and flawed imperfections, notes Arjun Menon.

Call Me Bae: Unpretentious, easy-peasy entertainment that distracts from the ugliness of real life, vouches Mayur Sanap.

Between tons of sexual innuendo and Kapil Sharma brand of slapstick gags characterised in loud caricatures, moronic behaviour, flimsy wigs and cartoonish rhythm, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video's jarring notions of exuberance have nothing novel to offer, groans Sukanya Verma.

Adah Sharma, who seems to be holding back an eye roll, is the only half-way decent actor amidst the crowd of amateurs and a bored-looking Rahul Dev in Reeta Sanyal, observes Deepa Gahlot.
