Sana Farzeen India Today Oct 27, 2026 2.5/5 Little Thomas has a lovely premise, a promising young actor and some genuinely cute moments. But much like that multi-tiered cake, it struggles under the weight of its own embellishments. Go to Full Review Little Thomas (2024) - - - -

T Maruthi Acharya India Today Oct 27, 2026 2/5 Ranabaali has the scale, ambition, and occasional flashes of brilliance, but it lacks the one thing a film about a fierce warrior and a people's rebellion needs most: a pulse. Go to Full Review Ranabaali (2026) - - - -

Sana Farzeen India Today Oct 20, 2026 1.5/5 The film jumps from one loosely sketched scene to another without ever hitting the emotional note it promises.
