Thozha (Tamil, 2016)
Thozha is a crowd-pleasing emotional drama that sticks to its core pretty well without deviating much into the so-called commercial elements. Watch it for Nagarjuna’s stellar performance, Karthi’s spontaneity & Prakashraj’s class!
Sawaari (Tamil, 2016)
Sawaari belong to the suspense-road-thriller genre; something that is not attempted often in Indian cinema and not a successful genre too. However, Sawaari’s sharp writing and rip-roaring background score keeps you hooked for the most part and masks the lack of budget convincingly.
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?'
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!
