ETimes review

ETimes gave the film a rating of 3 out of 5 stars. Our exclusive review reads, "What keeps TN 2026 watchable, and genuinely fun in stretches, is Natty. His manic energy is perfectly suited to this kind of role. The accent work early on is hilarious, and as Gulkand grows into a swaggering star-politician, Natty finds new comic registers without losing the character's through line. There's something almost hypnotic about watching him commit this fully to a caricature that keeps escalating. Thambi Ramaiah anchors the emotional side as the mentor who builds a monster, and MS Bhaskar and Ilavarasu provide reliable support as his circle. Redin Kingsley does what Redin Kingsley does: loud, unfiltered, occasionally amusing. P.G. Muthiah's cinematography has some nice frames. TN 2026 entertains without quite cutting deep enough to sting. The moments work; the movie around them could have been sharper."
