Pongal is just round the corner and three films are vying for screens this year.
Appa has plenty of heartwarming moments and some great performances, feels S Saraswathi.
Yatchan is an unexciting action comedy, writes S Saraswathi.
The narrative lacks intensity and pace and unfolds rather blandly, feels S Saraswathi.
A shorter crisper version of the film would perhaps have been more entertaining.
Director M Muthaiah's Komban is an over-the-top rural-based film with too much violence
Good performances, a well-written screenplay and great comedy make Vasanthamani's Vetrivel a decent watch, writes S Saraswathi.
Inimey Ippadithaan is a poorly-written, uninspiring romantic comedy that revolves around a young man's quest to find the perfect bride.
Nerungi Vaa Muthamidathe touches several issues but does not hit the right notes, says S Saraswathi.
Director Siva's Vedalam is an action packed potboiler revolving around one man's mission to take down an international flesh trade racket.
Director Jeeva Sankar's Amara Kaaviyam is an unmemorable love story, feels S Saraswathi.
Prakash Raj's Un Samayal Arayil is a thoroughly enjoyable light romantic comedy set in the backdrop of an intense passion and love for food and cooking.
R Parthiepan's Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam has an entertaining story and is definitely worth a watch.
Pulivaal is an unimaginative tale of two strangers brought together by fate in a ridiculous cat and mouse game, which ends up ruining the life of an innocent.
Here's the lowdown from the Tamil film industry.
Puli is an uninspiring fantasy adventure film, feels S Saraswathi.
Good performances and an interesting screenplay make Prabhu Solomon's Thodari worth a watch, feels S Saraswathi.
Despite its many flaws, Tamilselvanum Thaniyar Anjalum surprisingly keeps you entertained, feels S Saraswathi.
Bairavaa is designed to cater to Vijay's fans and his political aspirations and the actor uses every opportunity to dole out strong social messages, feels S Saraswathi.
Tamil film Thani Oruvan is perfectly executed, says S Saraswathi.
Tamil film Kaaviya Thalaivan is a thoroughly enjoyable experience, says S Saraswathi.
Tamil film Strawberry works because of its storyline, says S Saraswathi.
Oru Oorla Rendu Raja is a tedious comedy drama that attempts to highlight the inhumane working conditions of factory workers in our country.
Cinematographer Ravi K Chandran's Yaan is a long, tedious and completely over-the-top action drama.
Vijay and Mohanlal starrer Jilla is your everyday Madurai-based action thriller set in the backdrop of the special bond shared by a father and his devoted foster son
