Jil Jung Juk (Tamil, 2016)
‘Jil Jung Juck’ attempts to offer a racy ride fueled by drugs, gangsters and some stellar technical work on a low-budget. However, apart from the quirks & some well-placed adult comedy, the film fails to make a sustained impact tiring us as the credits roll.
Bangalore Naatkal (Tamil, 2016)
Bangalore Naatkal turns out to be a refreshing outing not just for its ensemble casting of some promising and prolific faces but also for the way the cousins troika is used to champion the level-headedness & maturity that the '20-somethings' display today.
Visaaranai (Tamil, 2016)
Visaaranai is one of those rare gems from Tamizh cinema which thematically shakes the very foundations of the common man’s belief in the System. It is ironic that this System which was created to make citizen’s life easier & to bring order has in fact taken control of the Country in itself. This tough theme is wonderfully scripted & effectively translated on screen by Vetrimaaran who is fast becoming one of ‘THE’ finest filmmakers in our part of world
Irudhi Suttru (Tamil, 2016)
Irudhi Suttru is one of those rare sports-based films in Tamizh cinema that look at not just the issues within the sporting space but also familial compulsions, peer pressure and student-coach infatuation. The fact that in spite of delving into all these topics the film engages & keeps the viewer hooked, is credit to the director and the entire team!
Rajini Murugan (Tamil, 2016)
Beneath all the glossy visuals, racy songs and enjoyable comedy, lies a repugnant concoction of a cliched plot, a wavering story, an insincere screenplay which spills over to spoil the experience as 'Rajini Murugan' drags on endlessly – an ordeal indeed!
