Ponman movie review: Director Jothish Shankar's Ponman, starring Basil Joseph, Sajin Gopu and Lijomol Jose, is a simple yet effective story of underdogs. The proceedings keep you on the edge of the seats.

Forest is the latest Kannada supernatural film with an ensemble cast of established comic actors, shows potential with comedy but falters in delivering an engaging story.

Kudumbasthan movie review: Directed by Rajeshwar Kalisamy, starring Manikandan, Guru Somasundaram and Saanve Megghana, Kudumbasthan is a delightful family drama with heaps of relatable comedy. It also gives you lessons on family relationships and money.

Sweet Dreams movie review: Sweet Dreams could have been a simple romantic film, but it ends up being preachy in an attempt to mildly school the young generation about the difference between dreams and reality. However, Mithila Palkar and Amol Parashar look pretty together.

Sky Force movie review: It's always tempting for the makers to overdo India vs Pakistan in a war drama. However, in Sky Force, jingoism is muted and a sense of mutual respect for the soldiers exists. Starring Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya, the film looks decent.

Dominic and The Ladies Purse movie review: Director Gautham Menon's Dominic and The Ladies' Purse, starring Mammootty, Gokul Suresh and Lena, is a slow-burning investigative drama. The film has great potential but doesn't translate fully.

Back in Action was released on Netflix on January 17, and features Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx in leading roles. Here's our take on the movie.

Emergency movie review: Kangana Ranaut's film Emergency briefly touches on the 1975 Emergency while attempting to provide a crash course on Indira Gandhi's life, but struggles to delve deeply into key historical events and character motivations.

Azaad movie review: In Azaad, Rasha Thadani and Amaan Devgan look promising with their debut performance, but that's not enough. This Abhishek Kapoor film looks extremely one-toned, and relies heavily on anthropomorphism.

Nesippaya movie review: Director Vishnuvardhan's Nesippaya, starring Aditi Shankar and Akash Murali, is a suspense drama. The film is devoid of thrill and has very little going for it.

Sankranthiki Vasthunnam is a family-friendly entertainer that reunites Venkatesh with director Anil Ravipudi after F2 and F3. While the first half delivers engaging comedy and strong performances, particularly from Aishwarya Rajesh, the second half falters with forced comedy and predictable narrative.

Kadhalikka Neramillai movie review: Director Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi's romantic drama, starring Nithya Menen and Ravi Mohan, is a modern take on relationships, marriage and parenting. The performances of the lead cast are a plus.

Madha Gaja Raja movie review: Director Sundar C's Madha Gaja Raja aka MGR, starring Vishal, Sonu Sood and Santhanam, is a comedy caper reminding you of the good old days.

Daaku Maharaaj movie review: Director Bobby Kolli's Daaku Maharaaj, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, Bobby Deol and Shraddha Srinath, is a predictable vigilante thriller. Though clichéd, the film strikes the right notes.

Vanangaan movie review: Director Bala's Vanangaan, starring Arun Vijay, Roshini Prakash and Ridha, is a film where the hero takes justice into his hands. The film is yet another addition to movies insensitively portraying sexual crimes against women.

Fateh movie review: Fateh, starring Sonu Sood, explores the world of cybercrime with action-packed sequences. Directed by Sood, the film highlights critical issues but struggles to leave a lasting impression.

Game Changer movie review: Director Shankar's Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, Kiara Advani and SJ Suryah, is a handbook on electoral politics. The film looks spectacular, but the story is mediocre at its best. 

Marco movie review: Director Haneef Adeni's Marco is a high-octane action thriller about a man who can go to any length for his family. The action choreography is brilliant in this wafer-thin story.
