Robinson Crusoe (Movie Reviews)
Critic's Rating: By: Reagan Gavin Rasquinha
Direction: Vincent Kesteloot, Ben Stassen

Direction: A Senthil Kumar
Cast: Shanthnu Bhagyaraj, Thiagarajan, Muktha Bhanu, Goundamani, Poornima Bhagyaraj, Urvashi, Ramki, Manoj Bharathiraja

Critic's Rating: By: M Suganth
Direction: Anand Shankar
Cast: Vikram, Nayanthara, Nithya Menen, Thambi Ramaiah, Nasser, Karunakaran, Riythvika

Kidaari (Tamil)
Critic's Rating: By: M Suganth
Direction: Prasath Murugesan
Cast: M Sasikumar, Nikhila Vimal, Vela Ramamoorthy, Napoleon, OAK Sundar, Suja Varunee
There is a whiff of Gangs Of Wasseypur in the film’s proceedings: the usage of the device of a narrator to tell us the bloody events of the past, the numerous rivalries, the stark cinematography and the grungy score

Critic's Rating: By: Pranita Jonnalagedda
Direction: Kiran Rao
Cast: Tejaswi Madivada, Swetaa Verma, Udai Kiran, Ravi Kamath, Kirthi Kumar
