Killa is a highly endearing and nostalgia inducing tale of a kid who tries to adapt to his fast-changing surroundings. The film is poetic thanks to the wonderfully defined characters & the Konkan setup that form the base from which it takes us through a trip from the perspective of its protagonist.
Minions offers a bundle of silly fun that effortlessly brings out the kid in the adult. However one has to accept that without a quirky, powerful character like Gru supporting the Minions, this prequel is a tad underwhelming when compared to the Despicable Me series.
CSK comes as a neatly written thriller film that makes the viewing experience enjoyable even as a better screenplay could have filled in the otherwise impenetrable effort made by the crew. Though there are some questionable sections in the film, on the whole, it is a commendable job done by the cast and crew.
In spite of the various flaws of an average screenplay, India Pakistan manages to pull it off all thanks to the weight of the performances given by M. S. Bhaskar and Pasupathy. Though not made in a way as to shatter records, it is one of those watchable movies that fills-in the less celebrated weekends.
S. S. Rajamouli has managed to produce a mighty masterpiece, scaling high in all areas that one can expect him to.

‘Yaagavarayinum Naa Kaaka’ is a movie with a decent core story on friendship faced with unfortunate circumstances, which is provided a topsy-turvy treatment. In one line, YNK is an extrapolated on-screen depiction of Superstar Rajni’s popular dialogue: 'Anger is the cause of all miseries; one should know how to control it. Otherwise life would become miserable' – A bittersweet presentation at that!
Indru Netru Naalai once again proves that big stars & high budgets are not required for making an engaging movie. The content is extremely cohesive & the top-notch VFX helps in sustaining the believability of the whole fantasy ride.

This is definitely a big-budget blockbuster - It's loud, thrilling, and full of extreme sequences that will engage the audience.
