#ParanthuPo, a film that made my heart full, so much so that it gets you soaked into the world of sunflowers, hills, makes you curious to know if a dinosaur will hatch out of a duck’s egg. It’s a feather-light film with so much happiness to share. So far the best of 2025.

#TouristFamily gets so right on portraying a child with all the antics and #Maaman fails to do exactly that, glorifying the bratty nature.

Retro movie review: Karthik Subbaraj makes an indulgent film where style, action and sentiment matter, but then the familiarity strikes...

What if #KarthikSubbaraj borrows shades from #JigarthandaDoubleX, makes a star film with #Suriya, with tints of subtle references and loaded with his eccentricity and quirks, that’s #Retro for you. Incredibly indulgent and something interesting, definitely has a lot going on
