Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum (Tamil, 2016)
Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum has an infectious charm about the way it takes us into the lives of its unremarkable characters with quirky moments of fun that makes it immensely likeable even as a part of us wonders 'what is special about this film?'
Aferim! (Romanian, 2015)
Aferim is definitely an ageless masterpiece with oodles of technical brilliance and is such a well written satire of a certain time period and an associated social system, that it stays relevant even when extended to the current time!
Pichaikkaran (Tamil, 2016)
Even as Pichaikaaran wavers a lot in its search for finding Villains and crusader case-points for the hero, the film ends up being a watch one wouldn’t regret because of its fresh core treated with overwhelming moments and the commercial additions that work in parts.
Pokkiri Raja (Tamil, 2016)
Pokkiri Raja starts out slow to pick up an entertaining touch on the way - though oscillating between two varied modes of narration, the fun manages to evade the pits and keeps the movie quite funny up till the very end!
Maheshinte Prathikaaram (Malayalam, 2016)
Maheshinte Prathikaram is a testament to the art of filmmaking that a pleasant light tale dealing with human emotions can be made into an engaging likeable mainstream film aided by flawless casting & immaculate cinematography.
