This Week’s Cinema Delivers More Misses Than Hits

This week’s releases deliver mixed results, with Epic-First Semester, Mahendragiri Varahi, and Mandaadi earning 2.75/5. Haiwaan and Sardar 2 score 2.5/5. While performances and distinctive themes provide highlights, uneven screenplays, predictable stretches, and slow pacing prevent most films from making a lasting impact with audiences.
