⭐ Mask (2025) Movie Review: Kavin & Andrea Deliver Fleeting but Engaging Entertainment Rating: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) Release Date: Nov 23, 2025 Reviewed by: Abhinav Subramanian



Mask marks another unconventional choice for Kavin, who continues to carve his own space with offbeat roles. Directed by Vikarnan Ashok, the film dives into a morally grey world where everyone hides behind a mask—literally and metaphorically.


ЁЯОн Synopsis

Velu (Kavin) is a street-smart hustler who survives through hacking, scams, and blackmail. He loves to claim an “ethical” approach to his crimes, even though that’s just another part of his persona. His path crosses with Bhumi (Andrea Jeremiah), a respected NGO leader—or so it seems.

Behind the philanthropic fa├зade, Bhumi runs a powerful sex-trafficking network, grooming young girls under the guise of rescuing them. Her influence stretches all the way to Manivannan (Pawan Krishnaa), a politician who needs ₹400 crores of laundered money for his upcoming election.

When a mysterious masked gang steals her cash, Bhumi forces Velu—by threatening his family—to retrieve it. Only someone as cunning and morally flexible as Velu can navigate this world of deceit.


ЁЯФН Review

Mask works best when it embraces its morally ambiguous characters. No one is entirely good or bad, and that makes the interactions unpredictable and entertaining.

Strong Character Foundations

Director Vikarnan Ashok establishes each character’s core traits with clarity:

  • Velu solves cases while simultaneously exploiting clients

  • Bhumi runs her criminal empire with a terrifying mix of efficiency and dominance

  • Manivannan hovers as a political powerhouse tied into the web

This setup lends itself naturally to dark comedy, especially when terrible people are forced to deal with even worse situations.

Where It Falters

While the premise is intriguing, the film often feels surface-level:

  • Velu’s moral compass is explained repeatedly through dialogue instead of being shown organically

  • Bhumi’s past with Manivannan is rushed and told through exposition

  • Ruhani Sharma’s romantic track with Velu doesn’t blend seamlessly with the main plot

The movie has all the ingredients for a deeper, richer character drama but settles for lighter engagement.


ЁЯОн Performances

ЁЯОм Kavin as Velu

Kavin is perfectly at home in quirky, unconventional roles. He delivers charm, mischief, and unpredictability with ease.

ЁЯОм Andrea Jeremiah as Bhumi

Andrea steals the show.
Fierce, intense, and commanding, she elevates the material—even when the script does not fully match her energy.

ЁЯОм Supporting Cast

  • Pawan Krishnaa holds his ground as the menacing political figure

  • Ruhani Sharma provides a gentle contrast, though her romantic subplot feels detached

  • GV Prakash’s background score adds energy and attitude throughout


Final Verdict

Mask is like a dish that looks fantastic but tastes just “good enough.”
You enjoy it, have a few laughs, appreciate the performances—but you move on once it’s over.

If you like dark comedy, morally grey characters, and sleek performances by Kavin and Andrea, Mask offers light, fleeting entertainment.


If you want, I can also prepare:

✔ A YouTube-style review script
✔ SEO keywords + meta description
✔ A poster caption or headline

Baramulla review: A gripping thriller that falters under its own weight Baramulla movie review: The Manav Kaul-starrer unravels in the way it tries to mix its allegorical elements with inconsistent plot-points.

 

Here is a clean, polished, SEO-friendly BLOG-STYLE movie review of Baramulla, based entirely on the content you provided—structured beautifully for publishing.


ЁЯОм Baramulla Movie Review: A Haunting Mystery Undone by Heavy-Handed Storytelling

There’s something deeply unsettling brewing in Baramulla. Young children are disappearing without a trace, casting a disturbing shadow over the otherwise picturesque Kashmir valley. Into this eerie setting arrives DSP Ridwaan Sayyed (Manav Kaul), accompanied by his wife Gulnaar and their children, Noorie (Arista Mehta) and Ayaan (Rohaan Singh). What begins as a routine investigative posting quickly spirals into a nightmare Ridwaan has never confronted before.

Produced by Aditya Dhar and directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, Baramulla opens with remarkable impact. A street magician invites a child into a box—only for the boy to vanish mysteriously. This chilling magic-trick-gone-wrong sets off a frantic search, thrusting Ridwaan and his team into a maze of questions that only deepen with time. Who is behind the disappearances? What secrets lie hidden inside the locked room on the second floor of Ridwaan’s creaky, old wooden house? As the narrative progresses, secrets, lies, and betrayals rise from the shadows like smoke seeking release.

ЁЯМл️ A Terrific Start Filled With Atmosphere

The film’s opening act is gripping. Jambhale crafts an atmosphere thick with dread. The valley’s misty landscapes, the old timber homes, and Kashmiri cultural details—especially the everyday pherans and rooted accents—lend the film a striking authenticity.

The characters feel lived-in:

  • Manav Kaul is superb as the battle-scarred cop carrying emotional baggage.

  • Bhasha Sumbhli convincingly portrays a wife trying desperately to keep her family—and particularly her traumatised daughter—intact.

  • The film also uses a recurring image of a bruised white flower, a symbolic reminder of the valley’s pain.

  • The special effects amplify the horror undertones, reinforcing an unsettling sense of foreboding.

⚠️ But the Narrative Soon Shows Its Hand

Despite its promising start, Baramulla begins to unravel as it reveals its true intentions. The film attempts to weave a political allegory with the horrors of Kashmir’s troubled past—particularly the targeted killings and forced exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. While this tragic chapter absolutely deserves exploration, the film’s handling becomes increasingly loud and accusatory, overshadowing its mystery-thriller essence.

The inclusion of cross-border terrorists engaged in “farming innocents” feels jarringly obvious. Instead of weaving these elements with subtlety, the script leans into forcefulness, sacrificing nuance for blunt statements. What begins as an eerie mystery gradually shifts into a narrative that pokes repeatedly at wounds without offering meaningful closure.

ЁЯОн Performances That Hold the Film Together

If the story falters, the performances keep the film afloat:

  • Manav Kaul anchors the narrative with controlled intensity.

  • Bhasha Sumbhli adds emotional depth.

  • The young actors, Arista Mehta and Rohaan Singh, perform naturally despite the heavy themes.

The supporting cast, including Aswini Koul and Shahi Laitief, contributes well to the film’s ambience.

ЁЯУЙ Final Verdict

Baramulla begins as a beautifully atmospheric mystery with potent performances and a strong sense of place. However, as the narrative becomes entangled in its allegorical messaging and inconsistent plot threads, it loses the delicate balance it starts with. What could have been a haunting thriller becomes a film burdened by heavy-handed symbolism and unresolved emotional beats.

⭐ Baramulla Movie Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5)

A visually compelling film that ultimately falters under the weight of its own messaging.


ЁЯОе Baramulla – Film Details

  • Director: Aditya Suhas Jambhale

  • Producer: Aditya Dhar

  • Cast: Manav Kaul, Bhasha Sumbhli, Arista Mehta, Rohaan Singh, Aswini Koul, Shahi Laitief

‘Kishkindhapuri’ Movie Review: A Familiar Yet Engaging Horror Ride Telugu cinema’s fascination with horror-thriller hybrids continues with Kishkindhapuri, directed by Koushik Pegallapati and starring Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas alongside Anupama Parameswaran. The film promises a mix of horror, humour, mythological undertones, and emotional drama — and while it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it delivers a fairly watchable experience.

  


A Familiar Premise with a Twist

The story begins with a haunting tragedy at a radio station in the 1980s and later transitions into a modern-day setup. Raghav (Bellamkonda Sreenivas) and Mythili (Anupama Parameswaran), a couple deeply in love, run “ghost walking tours” that exploit the fears of their participants. What starts as playful theatrics soon turns into a real paranormal experience when the duo and their customers enter an abandoned building harboring sinister secrets.

The film opens with a cleverly designed Ramayana-inspired touch — Kishkindhapuri is portrayed as a “monkey kingdom,” and Raghav’s heroism is introduced through a daring rescue at a Hanuman temple. The mythological flavor adds depth, even if it occasionally feels surface-level.

Storytelling and Style

Koushik Pegallapati’s direction keeps the pace brisk and the tone balanced between suspense and humour. The screenplay avoids excessive melodrama and instead focuses on maintaining tension through clever jump scares and witty moments. The self-aware humor, especially scenes involving fake ghost stories gone wrong, works well and provides a breather from the eerie atmosphere.

The flashback segment, presented through an unreliable narrator, is one of the film’s standout storytelling choices. It cleverly blurs the line between truth and illusion, adding intrigue to the spirit’s identity and motivations. However, as the climax approaches, the film’s momentum falters, leaning too heavily into conventional superstition and ritual tropes.

Performances

Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas delivers one of his more grounded performances, showing a believable mix of strength and vulnerability. Anupama Parameswaran complements him well, managing both emotional and suspense-driven scenes with ease. Supporting actors like Sudarshan, Hyper Aadi, Tanikella Bharani, and Makrand Deshpande add texture to the narrative, while Sandy (Visravaputra) impresses yet again with his raw intensity.

Technical Aspects

Composer Sam CS enhances the horror mood with an atmospheric score, though the music sometimes feels overbearing in the final act. The cinematography successfully blends the two timelines, while the production design effectively captures the eerie essence of Kishkindhapuri’s haunted locations. However, the sound and art direction occasionally feel inconsistent, slightly weakening the immersion.

Verdict

Kishkindhapuri is a horror entertainer that knows its limits. It doesn’t aim for groundbreaking innovation but sticks to a formula that works for mainstream audiences. Drawing influences from Kanchana 3Virupaksha, and Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada, it still manages to carve out a space for itself through clever pacing, a strong lead performance, and a few smart twists.

If you’re looking for a weekend watch that keeps you engaged without demanding too much, Kishkindhapuri fits the bill — a safe yet satisfying horror outing that blends myth, suspense, and masala in equal measure.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)
Watch it for Bellamkonda’s performance, the playful narrative, and the intriguing flashback twist.\

‘Dude’ movie review: Pradeep Ranganathan’s goofiness powers this Gen-Z love tale While Pradeep and Mamitha Baiju score, the other characters could have shone too with better writing

 

Dude (2025)

ЁЯОм Quick Facts

  • Director: Keerthiswaran (debut) (Wikipedia)

  • Cast: Pradeep Ranganathan (Agan), Mamitha Baiju (Kayal) + Sarath Kumar in a key role. (Wikipedia)

  • Genre: Romantic comedy with Gen-Z flavour & social commentary

  • Release Date: 17 October 2025 (Diwali) (Wikipedia)

  • Runtime: Approx. 140 minutes (The Times of India)

  • Language: Tamil (with broader release) (Wikipedia)


✅ What Works

  • Pradeep Ranganathan brings his familiar goofy-charm and is at his best in humorous scenes and in certain emotional moments. (Wikipedia)

  • Mamitha Baiju holds her own — especially when her character is caught in conflict and emotional tug-of-war. (Wikipedia)

  • The film’s first half has enough spark and novelty: fun setups, vibrant frames, good chemistry between the leads. (Lensmen Reviews)

  • Music & cinematography get positive nods: colour-pop frames, a song sequence shot in live-location Chennai (‘Oorum Blood’) stands out. (Wikipedia)


⚠️ Where It Falters

  • The second half is widely considered uneven: the momentum drops, writing becomes slack, and character arcs stretch thin. (www.greatandhra.com)

  • Supporting characters and subplots are under-written: e.g., Sarath Kumar’s arc has potential but changes feel abrupt and convenient. (Wikipedia)

  • Some viewers feel that while the film promises something fresh, it doesn’t fully deliver in terms of narrative depth — especially for its length. (Lensmen Reviews)


ЁЯОп Thematic & Style Highlights

  • The film explores friendship-turning-to-love between childhood companions (Agan & Kayal) in a modern, “Gen-Z” style context. (Wikipedia)

  • It plays with familiar Tamil-cinema tropes (weddings, family expectations, social status) but attempts to infuse fresh treatment and humour. (Baradwaj Rangan)

  • The tone swings between light comedy and serious relational drama — when balanced, it works; when not, the shifts feel jarring.


ЁЯУМ Verdict

If you’re heading to the theatre for a fun, youthful romantic entertainer and are a fan of Pradeep Ranganathan’s style, Dude is worthwhile. It has moments of real charm and loads of good will. However, if you expect tight narrative, deep character arcs and flawless craft, you may feel some disappointment in the latter part.

Rating Estimate: ~3 / 5 stars (depending on which half you weigh more heavily)


ЁЯУЭ Final Thought

“Dude” marks a solid step for Pradeep Ranganathan as a lead who can carry a commercial entertainer with heart. The film’s strengths lie in screen presence, moments of freshness, and style. Its weaknesses lie in conventional writing and pacing issues.


Would you like me to pull together a detailed breakdown of the film’s key sequences (interval block, emotional climax, music highlights), box-office performance, and OTT streaming details?

‘Bison Kaalamaadan’ Movie Review: Dhruv Vikram Blazes in Mari Selvaraj’s Most Mainstream Yet Most Political Film

  

Here’s a blog-style review for Bison Kaalamaadan that captures its themes, performances, and cinematic brilliance for general readers:

Rating: ★★★★½ (4.5/5)

Genre: Social Sports Drama / Political Action / Biopic


Mari Selvaraj’s Bison Kaalamaadan is a thunderous, emotionally charged film that lands every punch it throws — be it against caste oppression, systemic discrimination, or the politics embedded in sports and identity. With a searing performance from Dhruv Vikram, this is Mari’s most accessible work yet, without compromising his trademark political edge.


ЁЯПЖ A Story Rooted in Pain and Perseverance

Inspired by the life of Arjuna awardee Manathi GanesanBison Kaalamaadan follows Kittaan, a young boy with dreams of becoming a national Kabaddi champion. But his journey is anything but straightforward — born into a deeply divided and caste-torn town, Kittaan must fight not just on the Kabaddi mat, but against a world that constantly tells him he doesn’t belong.

From feuding caste leaders to family conflicts, and from personal loss to institutional bias, every step forward for Kittaan is a rebellion. He doesn’t just play Kabaddi — he survives through it.


ЁЯОн Dhruv Vikram’s Fiery Transformation

In what is arguably his most defining role yet, Dhruv Vikram becomes Kittaan — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. His brooding intensity, athletic transformation, and control in emotionally loaded scenes bring Mari’s hero to life. Whether he's unleashing rage or expressing quiet despair, Dhruv gives a performance that’s raw, believable, and deeply affecting.


ЁЯОм Mari Selvaraj’s Political Voice, Now Louder Than Ever

While Bison is Mari’s most commercially structured film (complete with montages, action arcs, and an underdog sports narrative), the political subtext is anything but diluted. This is still Mari Selvaraj — the filmmaker who weaponizes cinema to question oppressive structures. The dialogues are razor-sharp and confrontational:

“When have they ever written our names so easily?”

He doesn’t just tell a story about sport — he tells a story about identityresistance, and what it means to win in a system that was never designed for you to succeed.


⚔️ Caste Violence, Social Commentary, and Gut-Wrenching Visuals

Mari doesn’t shy away from showing the brutalities of caste violence. The film features scenes that are graphic, chilling, and necessary. Two caste leaders, played by Ameer Sultan and Lal, represent the duality of power struggles — what began as a fight for justice has now turned into a thirst for dominance.

But Kittaan? He doesn’t want power. He just wants to play.


❤️ Subtle Romance, Symbolism, and Surrealism

In an unexpected yet refreshing angle, Bison features a mature romance between Kittaan and an older woman, Rani (Anupama Parameswaran), quietly breaking yet another social norm.

Mari also layers the film with spiritual imagery — local deities, sacred goats, and haunting dream sequences — to tie Kittaan’s personal journey to a collective cultural trauma and redemption.


ЁЯПЙ Sports Drama with Real Stakes

Kabaddi, a sport not often explored in Tamil cinema, becomes the heartbeat of Bison. The matches are gritty, choreographed with intensity, and carry emotional weight. Each raid, each point scored, is not just a moment in a game — it’s a moment of defiance. The climax at the 1994 Asian Games is both a sporting high and a symbolic catharsis.


ЁЯУ╕ Stunning Visuals and Soundtrack

With sweeping drone shots, poetic montages, and deeply immersive cinematography, Bison is visually breathtaking. Mari brings his village to life, not as a backdrop, but as a character in itself. The music elevates the emotion without overshadowing the story — every beat, every silence, serves the narrative.


ЁЯСП Final Verdict

Bison Kaalamaadan is more than a sports film. It’s a protest. A love letter. A battle cry.

Mari Selvaraj cements his place as the most daring and visionary voice in Tamil cinema today. And Dhruv Vikram? He’s no longer just a star kid — with this film, he’s an actor to reckon with.

If Karnan was fire, Bison is a wildfire — unpredictable, unapologetic, and unforgettable.


⭐ Blog Highlights:

  • Must Watch For: Fans of hard-hitting social dramas, political cinema, sports underdog stories.

  • Don’t Watch If: You're uncomfortable with raw depictions of caste violence or heavy political themes.

  • Standout Performance: Dhruv Vikram as Kittaan — a career-defining role.

  • Director’s Masterstroke: Mari’s ability to blend multiple genres — sports, political action, gangster drama — into one cohesive experience.

Idli Kadai Movie Synopsis: A young man who's about to get married into a multi-millionaire's family rediscovers his roots and decides to run his father's idli shop. Can he win back the trust of his villagers and tackle the egoistic millionaire's son, who is determined to bring him down at all cost?


Idli Kadai Movie Review: Right from his first film, Pa. Pandi, Dhanush has shown that he is attracted to stories that involves sentimentality and nostalgia. His Idli Kadai is entirely driven by these two feelings, to the extent that it feels overwhelming.
Dhanush begins the film with a prologue that shows us why Sivanesan's (Raj Kiran) idli kadai matters to Murugan (Dhanush), his son.
But when we first see him, Murugan's aspirations are far removed from his father's philosophy. While the father finds contentment in living in his small village and running his small idli shop, the son dreams of a "mempatta vaazhkai" involving big houses, cars and lots of money. And so we find him in Bangkok, working for multi-millionaire Vishnu Vardhan (Sathyaraj), being the fianc├й to his daughter, Meera (Shalini Pandey), and the punch bag to his spoiled brat of a son, Ashwin (Arun Vijay). But circumstances lead to Murugan to returning to his village, where he ends up taking charge of his father's shop, which holds a special place in the hearts of the villagers. Meanwhile, an ego-hurt Ashwin is determined to bring him down at all cost.
Like with his previous film, Nilavukku En Mel Ennadi Kobam, which its tagline described as "A usual love story"
, Dhanush sets the bar low even with Idli Kadai. The film, as he informs in the title credits, is a story woven based on a place and people he had come across as a young boy. So, it's no surprise that the plot he uses to tell this tale feels like a carefully constructed one that borrows elements that we have seen in several films. Thus, we end up with an all-too familiar story that's populated by one-note characters - saintly parents, caricaturish villains, supportive school crush, scheming local, a corrupt cop with a softer side and so on. While unabashed melodrama isn't a bad thing, here, things feel calculated and quite predictable. Even the angle about Murugan choosing to stick to his father's pacifist ideology and not counter Ashwin with violence isn't explored in an interesting manner. And in trying to be rooted, there are aspects to the film - like guilt-tripping those who might have moved away from their roots (or even aspire to do so) for a better living, portraying technological advancements as inferior - that feel regressive.
That said, Dhanush does clear the bar that he has set for himself. There are moments when the emotions work
and the actors pitch in with performances that manage to elevate the simplistic way in which their characters are written. The way the romance between Murugan and Kayal (Nithya Menen) is developed also deserves mention, and feels like a new spin on the Kamal Haasan-Revathy episodes in Thevar Magan (another case of a young man with dreams of opening a chain of restaurants and engaged to a city-bred woman returning to his roots and ending up in love with a village belle). There's conviction in the filmmaking that makes us overlook several of the film's flaws. But what's hard to shake off is the feeling that given his talents, Dhanush should be more ambitious as a storyteller and not be content with just being a nostalgia merchant.
