- Sundar C’s ‘Aranmanai 3’ (Sundar C, Arya, Raashi Khanna, Andrea Jeremiah) is a noisy horror-comedy put together with little effort or imagination
- Era Saravanan’s ‘Udanpirappe’ (Jyothika, Sasikumar, Samuthirakani) is a bland family drama where not a single moment hits hard
- Despite some flab and a vague ending, Vineeth Varaprasad’s ‘Lift’ (Kavin, Amritha) is a well-made horror thriller that’s more a procedural than a jump-scare machine
- My interview on Galatta (with a typically provocative headline :-) )
- #AskBR – Doctor
- Interview: Akhil Akkineni (Most Eligible Bachelor)
- Readers Write In #414: Kuttipaapaakkal (Sirukadhai)

- #AskBR – The End of the Craig Era
- Readers Write In #413: Why Gandhi?
- Interview: Panja Vaisshnav Tej (Uppena, Konda Polam)
- Mohan G’s ‘Rudra Thandavam’ (Richard Rishi, Gautham Menon) is a long, lethargic drama about drugs (and possibly a counter reaction to our Dalit filmmakers)
- Cary Joji Fukunaga’s ‘No Time to Die’ is a generic, entertaining farewell to Daniel Craig but it never becomes the epic it keeps trying to be
- Hiphop Tamizha Adhi’s underwhelming ‘Sivakumarin Sabadham’ takes a serious issue and tries to make an “entertainer” of it
- In Defence Of ‘Zero’ – kicking off a video series for Film Companion
- The fascinating ‘Kayattam’ (Manju Warrier) finds Sanal Kumar Sasidharan in an experimental mode, pursuing a woman of mystery
- BR blog-reader Zoom meet
- Interview: Mamta Mohandas / Prithviraj (‘Bhramam’)
- Aravind Kuplikar’s ‘Puksatte Lifu (Sanchari Vijay, Matangi Prasan, Achyut Kumar) is an existential dramedy with admirable tonal shifts that are utterly organic
- Jaikumar Sedhuraman’s ‘Sennai’ (Semmalar Annam, Bava Chelladurai) is a solid indie-Dalit film that uses a fable to make its points
- Tanglish Talks: Pond’s, circa 1985
- Readers Write In #412: Kaalathai thindra gadigaram

- Deepak Sundarrajan’s ‘Annabelle Sethupathi’ (Vijay Sethupathi, Taapsee Pannu) is a ghost-comedy that’s truly ghastly
- Ananda Krishnan’s ‘Kodiyil Oruvan’ (Vijay Antony, Aathmika) has a promising story that’s let down by a disastrous screenplay
- Manu Ashokan’s ‘Kaanekkane’ (Suraj Venjaramoodu, Tovino Thomas, Aishwarya Lekshmi) is a lovely examination of human frailty in the guise of a detective thriller
- Nithin Lukose’s powerful ‘Paka’, world-premiering at Toronto Intl. Film Festival, pushes Romeo and Juliet to the background and brings the violence to the fore
- Interview: Vijay Antony (‘Kodiyil Oruvan’)

- SP Jananathan’s ‘Laabam’, with Vijay Sethupathi and Shruti Haasan, is a disappointing series of lectures disguised as a movie
- Tanglish Talks: Darkness
- In ‘Thalaivii’, writer KV Vijayendra Prasad and Vijay refashion the Jayalalithaa story into a solid mythical melodrama, starring Kangana Ranaut and Arvind Swami
- Interview: Vijay Sethupathi (‘Laabam’,’Annabelle Sethupathi’,’Tughlaq Durbar’)
