Demonte Colony 2 Review | A Fairly Compelling Sequel That Sets the Stage for a Bigger Third Part

Mazhai Pidikatha Manithan Review | A Hastily Assembled, Worn-Out Secret Agent Thriller
The movie Mazhai Pidikatha Manithan starts with this elaborate character exposition, where they have used these AI-generated images to show us the history of our hero, who was a soldier and then an undercover super agent.

Raayan Review | A Bloodbath That Started off Compellingly and Ended Generically
The first half of the new Dhanush film, Raayan, written and directed by, Dhanush himself, is thoroughly absorbing.
