City Lights marks Duniya Vijay's third outing as director, with Vinay Raj Kumar and Monisha Vijay Kumar leading the cast. The film serves as a test of whether Vijay Kumar's directorial identity can draw audiences without his star presence on screen.
A found-footage horror that delivers thrills, but can't sustain its mystery when it matters most. The 122-minute film benefits from strong camerawork, editing and sound design, even as some screenplay choices and the climax hold it back.
America America 2 movie review: The film explores the complexities of love, trauma and forgiveness through a millennial lens. While Nagathihalli Chandrasekhar's poetic storytelling and the lead performances shine in parts, dated writing and superficial characterisation hold the film back.

Over the years, ZNMD has become a comfort watch for generations. With a sequel finally said to be taking shape, the bigger question is whether Kabir, Arjun and Imraan still have a journey worth taking 15 years later.
