Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph's Drishyam 3 brings renewed focus to Malayalam cinema's long national reach. Its arrival underlines how rooted, emotionally precise stories travelled across India long before pan-India became a formula.
Drishyam 3 follows Georgekutty as he tries to end the suffering around Varun's death. But Geetha's final response suggests the family's nightmare may not be over.
Across the Drishyam films, Mohanlal's Georgekutty outsmarts the police while trying to protect his family. By the third film, that survival has left him broken by fear, lies and grief.
Drishyam 3 movie review: Director Jeethu Joseph's Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal, Meena and Siddique, is a sequel that prioritises drama over intelligence. While the film has some meaty ideas that could make for a brilliant thriller, it settles for less because of its writing.
Jr NTR is taking a bold step into darker, morally complex characters with his upcoming film Dragon, despite the failure of War 2. The teaser, released in five languages, has created high anticipation ahead of its June 2027 release.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's decision to give the Film Technology portfolio to Egmore MLA Rajmohan has split Kollywood, with Vishal criticising the move and Raghava Lawrence backing it. The row reflects wider anxiety over Tamil cinema's financial strain and the demand for quick reform.
After dabbling in genres for over a decade, Suriya's latest, Karuppu, is a fan-service that brings him back to familiar turf. With nostalgic nods to past hits, the film is Suriya's first bonafide hit since Singam II in 2013.
Exam review: Director Sarkunam's Exam, starring Dushara Vijayan and Aditi Balan, is a show about impersonation and India's civil service exam paper leak. The series starts on a promising note but fizzles midway.
Karuppu movie review: Director RJ Balaji's Karuppu, starring Suriya, Trisha and himself, is a fantasy courtroom drama that exposes how corruption is deeply ingrained in the system. While the film taps into a familiar idea, it doesn't capitalise and use it to its full potential.
Vijay and Trisha's on-screen journey is back in focus from Ghilli to GOAT. Their six-film arc, fifteen-year gap and reunion underline an enduring Tamil cinema pairing.
Suriya is lining up Karuppu, Vishwanath and Sons and Suriya 47 with three different directors. The slate underscores his push for a box office turnaround through sharply contrasting roles.
Vijay's films repeatedly hinted at his political ambition from before Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) was even registered as a party or in the picture. His filmography over the years has been a running prelude to power.
29 – The Film movie review: Director Rathna Kumar's 29, starring Vidhu and Preethi Asrani, is a romantic drama. The film is about a man who'll soon turn 30, and his tryst with love while battling an identity crisis. While the film's intentions are right, it takes unwanted detours before getting on the right path.
In 2013, Vijay's film Thalaivaa was delayed in Tamil Nadu during a standoff with the Jayalalithaa government over its tagline. What was the line? And how did the controversy end? With the episode resurfacing after his 2026 election win, we revisit what happened.
After TVK's big win in 2026, Shoba Chandrasekhar sang a line from a song she had recorded for her son Vijay's 2005 film, Sivakasi. The moment turned attention to her long role as the quiet force behind his career and life.
As TVK's win became clear, SA Chandrasekhar publicly praised son Vijay's decision to contest Tamil Nadu polls alone. It was a full-circle moment for a father-son story of mentorship, estrangement and reconciliation.
Vijay's TVK won 108 seats in its first Tamil Nadu Assembly election, drawing immediate comparisons with MGR's rise. The result highlighted the force of a digitally driven campaign, but his decisive test now shifts to government formation and governance.
Forty-plus years in business, Mammootty, 74, and Mohanlal, 65, remain the first names of Malayalam cinema. They've reunited in Patriot after 18 years and the film has opened big. Understanding how the two veterans stay relevant and dominant.
Patriot movie review: Director Mahesh Narayanan's Patriot, starring Mammootty, Mohanlal and Fahadh Faasil, is a surveillance thriller that exposes the perils of spyware installed in civilians' tech devices. With intelligent writing and a grounded vision, it is spy cinema done right — minor shortcomings and all.
Kara movie review: Director Vignesh Raja's Kara, starring Dhanush, Mamitha Baiju and Suraj Venjaramoodu, is a film about a robber caught in a life-altering situation that pulls him back into crime. It has some solid sequences, but doesn't quite come together as a whole.
