The winner of 3 national awards and the only Tamil film to be screened at Indian Panorama in International Film Festival of India, IFFI, Goa, 2013, Thanga Meengal is a must watch and it gives a feel even while I watch it after these many years. Now three year after its release one cannot stop to think about the movie and the intricacies that lay within it. The film, backed with stellar performances from the entire cast, tells the tale of a father-daughter relationship with many layers within it, and is a truly heart-warming story. On first look it would be a difficult task to truly understand what the director has laid out in such a beautiful manner (the case with most films) but nevertheless director Ram has definitely given Tamil cinema a new form of sorts. Yesterday i saw some interview of Director Ram, and he had these few insights to share. If you take a closer look at the characters in the movie, you would notice that each character has always been captured within a spe...
The ancient Greeks probably had it right. According to them, gods were power-hungry pleasure-seekers who got their kicks by toying with human lives. It’s a fancy way of saying shit happens – but how else to explain away the mind-boggling randomness of, say, the recent floods in Chennai? Or the plight of the four Tamilian migrant workers tossed into a Guntur prison in Vetri Maaran’s powerful new film, Visaranai ?

And they keep hurling lightning bolts at Pandi (‘Attakathi’ Dinesh), Murugan (‘Aadukalam’ Murugadoss), Afsal (Silambarasan) and Kumar (Pradeesh), who are arrested when a local big shot’s house is burgled. The cops don’t care who committed the crime. They just want a confession. Any confession. And who better to extract it from than these fou...
Revenge is always ultimate Revenge is the most discussed topic in Tamil cinema. Although, the guts of taking the old wine and pouring it into the new bottle gets applause to Director Sakthivel Perumalsamy. After the release of trailer we all came to the judgement that this movie is about generation revenge. But our assumption has failed. This movie doesn't deal with generation's. But it rather discuss about the failure of soul in 2 lives, which try to take a revenge in it's next proceeding life. On basis of acting, Bobby simha has excelled his performance. The national award winner himself, this role is like eating a slice of cake. He just have done it in the scale of 10/10. Coming to the antagonist Kalaiarasan, We all have seen his acting in the movie Madras, which is actually not his debut. But that was his break. After madras, He was used by Sakthivel to the core. But the slight disappointed thing is Female lead character. Reshmi menon emoted well, but still h...
