Mersal (Tamil, 2017)
Vijay truly shoulders the visually splendid ‘Mersal’ to put up an entertaining show for his fans, while an otherwise lackluster effort at writing deprives the film of any credibility and ends up lingering in the mind for the not so great reasons!
Magalir Mattum (Tamil, 2017)
In spite of some minor issues, Magalir Mattum is a heartwarming sophomore effort from Bramma and Team! The film touches upon a much-needed serious topic, but still manages to engage and entertain throughout with some terrific performances and a lovely story arc.
Pandigai (Tamil, 2017)
Pandigai is a fantastic debut by Feroz where his smart writing keeps us engrossed. His casting choices and the way he has woven lovely character arcs around this heist thriller is mighty impressive. The cast and the crew deliver expertly to make this a wonderful viewing experience.
Thupparivaalan (Tamil, 2017)
Thupparivalan gains the advantage as a technically impressive Mysskin mystery film aided by competent acting from supporting characters, only to be squandered by a laundry list of glaring issues in the characterizations and screenplay that muddles the viewing experience to mediocrity.
Kurangu Bommai (Tamil, 2017)
Intelligent characterizations and a smart narrative elevate this presentation that involves performances of the highest quality as well. Despite minor pitfalls due to a little too much of inexplicable coincidences, Kurangu Bommai is a viewer’s delight for its sheer ability to keep the audience emotionally involved and engrossed in suspense till the very end!
