Test Review: When Moral Lines Blur On and Off the Pitch
Image
“Test,” an Indian drama now available on streaming platforms, uses the fervent world of international cricket as its canvas. Specifically, the narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a highly anticipated test match between India and Pakistan – an event that, for audiences familiar with the subcontinent’s passions, is far more than a mere sporting contest; it is a recognized stage for national pride and intense rivalry.

The film traces the intersecting trajectories of three central individuals, each grappling with formidable personal and professional trials that push them to their limits. As their stories converge, “Test” probes ambitions that curdle, moral compasses that spin under duress, and the crushing weight of expectation, hinting at a complex, if not entirely seamless, exploration of human fallibility.

Three Lives on a Collision Course

The film introduces its key players as they navigate precarious junctures. Arjun (Siddharth) is a celebrated cricketer confronting a sharp career decline.

Nayanthara is undoubtedly one of the most popular South Indian actresses. Over the years, she has proven her acting prowess and delivered some big hits.

On Trisha Krishnan’s Birthday, Subhash K Jha Selects Her 5 Finest Performances

For Trisha Krishnan’s birthday, Subhash K Jha shines the spotlight on her career and selects her five finest performances

Long before Nayanthara and Parvathy Thiruvothu, Trisha was among the first female heroes of South Indian cinema, grabbing attention and acclaim in one author-backed role after another in Tamil and Telugu. Here are my favourites.

1. Varsham:

Trisha’s Tiger Tale…she teams up with Prabhas in this original version of Tiger Shroff’s Hindi Baaghi. Exploited and controlled by her father, Shailaja seeks solace in the rain, romance, and songs. Every time Trisha and Prabhas bump into each other, it rains hence the title(duh). While the film is distinctly mediocre, Trisha rises above the script (as she is wont to), elevating her character to something more than just a patriarchal victim.

Lady Superstar Nayanthara and director Vignesh Shivan are one of the most adorable couples in the South Indian film industry. But there was a time when the actress struggled to find peace in her relationships. One of her affairs, which had grabbed a lot of eyeballs was with director-choreographer Prabhu Deva.

The relationship was marred by several controversies since Prabhu Deva was already married to his first wife, Latha during that time. It was in September 2010, when the Wanted director shocked everyone when he declared his love for Nayanthara and also expressed his wish to marry her. It is said that he also asked Latha for a divorce which turned the latter’s world upside down.

According to International Business Times, Latha had given an explosive interview to Filmibeat wherein she had lashed out at Nayanthara. Surprisingly,...

Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan was a monster at the box office. It’s the biggest hit of Srk’s career. The film hit the right spot with its first song, Zinda Banda Hai. A popular couplet from the poem of renowned Urdu poet Waseem Barelvi was used in the song. The quote goes, “Usoolon Pe Jahaan Aanch Aaye Takraana Zaroori Hai, Jo Zinda Hon To Phir Zinda Nazar Aana Zaroori Hai.”

However, not many know that Barelvi didn’t want Jawan makers to use his couplet, and it took King Khan himself to convince renowned poet Waseem Barelvi to use his couplet in the song. The Jawan team had approached the veteran Shayar to seek permission to use parts of his famous quote. However, the octogenarian was quick to say no to the makers. Then,...

But the ending of the film has left a lot of people wondering if there might be a sequel to this film directed by S Sashikanth! However, sequels, in our industry take so long that they fail to justify the ending of the first part.

But if the makers and Netflix sanction a sequel to R Madhavan, Nayanthara, and Siddharth‘s Test, then it needs to bump the pace and offer an intriguing storyline, which honestly stands a chance to win this time owing to the climax of part 1. However,...

Although the announcement for Raja Saab’s release came in 2024, principal photography and other works had begun as early as 2022. Rumors about the project were already circulating back then, and ever since, fans have been eagerly waiting. The production team eventually confirmed a release date of April 10, 2025. However, the latest news is that the film won’t make it to theaters on that date. You might be wondering why.

According to CineJosh, the delay is due to a joint decision by the producers and director to prioritize high-quality visuals. They are unwilling to compromise on VFX and other technical aspects of the project, which is also affecting the film’s budget.

Director Maruthi is especially committed to delivering a film that lives up to or even exceeds the grandeur of Prabhas’ earlier pan-India ventures. Because of this, he plans to reveal a...

“Test Gets Pass Marks, But Could have Done With Better Execution” – A Subhash K Jha Review
Image
It is astounding what one powerful performance can do to a film, given the correct contextual compulsion. In this well-written but not-so-effectively executed film, Madhavan, in his second grey outing in a row after Shaitaan, plays Saravan, a born loser who dreams of making a scientific breakthrough while trying to wrestle with imminent insolvency and a wife whom he is about to lose.

Saravan has nothing to lose in life. On the other side of the social fence is Arjun, a superstar test cricketer on the skids played by Siddhanth, who seems to rein in his performance at those very moments when he needed to explode on screen.

Less is not more on this occasion. Not when Siddharth’s adversary is played by Madhavan as a no-holds-barred desperado. Watching the likeable but incomplete portrait of ruination and redemption, I wondered what Test would have been had Siddharth played the character a few octaves higher.

Test (2025) ‘Netflix’ Movie Review: Siddharth and Nayanthara Can’t Salvage a Messy, Conflicted Script on Ethical Extremes
Madhavan
Sashikanth’s “Test” justifies its title. It’s an atrocity to bear throughout, as unbearably elongated in a confused stew of clumsily written, patchy scenes as it is irrepressibly dull. Despite a reliable trio of stars, including Madhavan, Siddharth, and Nayanthara, the film never comes alive. It’s stuck in an overly manufactured, sagging bundle of amateurish scenes underlining its thematic angles of those who are victors and others shunted to being lifelong losers. What does it take for the latter to break out and lunge at making a mark, even if violent and coercive?

Arjun (Siddharth) is a once-shining cricketer who now fears a decisive test match between India and Pakistan. In fact, he doubts his capabilities. But more than him, it’s the executive board of the tournament that shows no confidence in him and has fully retreated. They give him the cue that his time is up.

The film goes beyond cricket, using it as a narrative backdrop for characters who coexist, strive to survive, and live another day. The film delves into themes like energy, motherhood, and family, offering a portrait of the lives of endearing characters, all with cricket as a backdrop.

Prithviraj Sukumaran, as a director, is only three films old. His third directorial venture L2 Empuraan released on March 27, 2025, after facing numerous challenges. During a recent promotional event in Bengaluru on March 26, 2025, he revealed that his next directorial project will be with Hombale Films.

The announcement of a film titled Tyson, a collaboration between Prithviraj and Hombale Films, was made in 2022. In that announcement poster, it was mentioned that Tyson would be his fourth directorial venture. Today, his third directorial venture has been released in theaters, so there is a high likelihood that he is referring to Tyson.

However, he did not specify the title of the project, so it could be another film he is working on for Hombale Films. There is also speculation that L3 could be a collaborative effort between Aashirvad Cinemas and Hombale Films, but that remains uncertain.
