Pattas film review: Dhanush and Sneha shine in predictable fare

Based on a Pongal formula, the film relies heavily on the Dhanush brand

Jai Mummy Di movie review: Tired momcom fails to amuse

In many Hindi films that try to be different, our heroes are either larger than life, or epitomes of perfection.

The actual story begins in the second half when Allu Arjun understands about his real parentage.

Like the previous season where things headed off at a quick pace, season two starts off quite slowly.

The hero, of course, has to be a family-loving pious Hindu who, when called upon, will thump his chest and sacrifice his all for desh ki izzat.

If you are with Adithya, the violence would look gratuitous, and the revenge would naturally look like aggression and brutality.

Though there is some action in between, Anil relies on his punch dialogues that are perfectly suited for Mahesh Babu.

Chhapaak does not solicit our pity for acid attack victims. It does not goad us to shed tears.

The superstar plays a cop in the film directed by A.R. Murugadoss while Nayanthara is the female lead.

Meghna Gulzar keeps her firm hold on the subject while the powerful performance of Padukone combines to make this film an essential watch.
