Family Star has a passable/decent first half; although the setup is familiar, the freshness of the lead pair holds it together. However, the second half goes downhill, and Parasuram seems clueless about what he intended to present. There is no solid plot in his hands to generate drama or emotion. Go with right expectations.

Tillu Square is a perfect package where one-liners continuously peak, ensuring a fun one-time watch. Tillu is sure to entertain you despite lacking the original cult freshness and Radhika’s magic. Go for it.

Naa Saami Ranga is a one-time watch for the festival, with passable comedy and moderate drama. Songs and action scenes are a plus, and MMK’s work is well complemented. The film does not look rushed or shot in a short span

Overall, it has just enough spice for a festival watch. Keep your expectations low.

Final Report: Animal has a decently engaging first half, but the film loses its way right from the beginning of the second half and fails to regain its momentum. The core storyline becomes aimless and lacks coherence, being scattered throughout. First Half Report: Animal’s first half is engaging with fresh appeal. However, the drama seems more like a setup for the subsequent action blocks. The interval action episode Arjan Vailly drives action lovers wild.
