Dragon

Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2

The opening act of Veera Dheera Sooran – Part 2 does its bit in acquainting the viewers with the characters while lacing it with a revenge plot at the heart of things. This includes the father and son duo of Ravi (Prudhviraj) and Kannan (Suraj Venjaramoodu) who are supposed gangsters and wanted for the disappearance of a couple of members of a family… Read More…

Tourist Family

You can immediately make out that Tourist Family is a film cut from the cloth of love, something that is true from its opening act. The cold open involves the family of Dharmadas getting caught on the shores of Rameshwaran, even before getting an opportunity to settle in… Read More…

Retro

As the name suggests, almost the entire drama in Retro ranges between the 1960s to the 1990s. But the early signs of its subtext is established through its character Paarivel Kannan (Suriya). Interestingly, his name Kannan is one of the names of Lord Krishna, a subtext that is directly reflected in his earlier journey… Read More…

Madras Matinee

There is a clever ‘implied’ wordplay with the title Madras Matinee – that indicates the whereabouts of the middle class. Usually ‘matinee’ refers to a play or film that is played out in the morning or afternoon, that may have been introduced to lure the middle class in at lower rates. Immediately, the financial strata becomes the focal point of this story, that is set in Madras (Chennai), and revolves around a middle-class family… Read More…

Paranthu Po

One of the most interesting aspects of Paranthu Po is its characterization. Both Glory and Gokul remain embodiments of complexities that often creep up with age, something that their son Anbu remains oblivious about. They are an interfaith couple, that has made them distance themselves from their families… Read More…

3BHK

The writing in 3 BHK is designed to be an endless loop, a tunnel so long that you won’t realise a fleeting moment of light that is passed within seconds, only for another tunnel to arrive in the very next moment. Yet, this vicious nature of the screenplay isn’t made out to be repetitive due to its fabulous characterization that arrives with its touch of sensitivity… Read More…

Bad Girl

One of the reasons why Bad Girl is an important film coming from the Tamil Film Industry, is because it is an anti-thesis of a hero that is idolized for his smoking skills. Here, the hero is a young girl who is unabashed and does what she deems right, contrary to what people around her expect from her. For instance, Ramya’s ultra-conservative grandmother takes objection to her roaming in the house and touching things even when she is on her periods… Read More…

Bison Kaalamaadan

Written by Mari Selvaraj, Bison Kaalamaadan has the unique ability to blend different themes with intercutting scenes. In an early scene, you spot Kittan being reprimanded in school while being asked to run around the school compound. And even as he begins his run and continues and continues and continues, you spot an intercutting scene of him running behind a car from his childhood… Read More…

Kaantha

Written by Selvamani Selvaraj, Thamizh Prabha and Shri Harsha Rameshwaram, Kaantha can best be described as a film within a film, wherein the events that transpire are eerily similar to the film that is being shot. The setting remains of the 1950s, even as the cold open gives you a trace of a Hitchcockian mystery that the film is ‘probably’ staged around. But as you linger on with the drama, you get a hint that the broader picture remains similar to a Shakespearean tragedy, more specifically Othello, even while you are transported on a film set… Read More…
