Indian star Karthik Sivakumar, known by his screen name Karthi, is bullish about upcoming release “Japan,” his 25th film.
The film is due to release in November during the Deepavali holiday frame in Tamil, Telugu and a few other languages. “It’s a crime thriller, it’s got a manhunt to it. But apart from that, the writing and characters in the film are so well-rooted, and at the same time, it’s got a lot of flamboyance – it’s a very unique combination,” Karthi told Variety.
The film, from prolific south Indian studio Dream Warrior Pictures, is directed by Raju Murugan. “Being so grounded and yet having the flamboyance and the cockiness of this character is what got me hooked to the project, and the keenness to work with Raju Murugan – I’ve liked his earlier two films ‘Cuckoo’ and ‘Joker’ and his understanding of local community, the culture here,...

Film Review A faster screenplay, more focus on the bonds between family members, and a few more expressions for Jyothika could have definitely elevated this hill station drama.Priyanka ThirumurthySet in the picturesque and calm surrounds of a hill station in Mettupalayam district, Thambi starts off as a family drama with shots of a woman haunted by memories of her missing brother. Parvathi (Jyothika) is clearly missing her sibling Saravanan, who ran away from home 15 years ago, the vast fields around her amplifying the sense of emptiness. Saravanan’s absence also affects her father Gnanamoorthi, played by Sathyaraj, a local politician. His political career slides as the opposition asks how he would take care of civilians when he could barely manage his child. But the movie changes gears when the family receives information that Saravanan could be in Goa and Sathyaraj immediately leaves to find him. Enter Vikki (Karthi), an...

I expected to be impressed by the promo for Prabhu Deva's upcoming Rowdy Rathore, but not this impressed! Rowdy Rathore is the Bollywood remake of S.S. Rajamouli's (Magadheera, Yamadonga) Vikramarkudu, which was original a hit in the Telugu film industry that starred personal favorite Ravi Teja in the lead role. Two years ago Vikramarkudu was remade in Tamil as Siruthai, starring Karthi and did well, but nowhere near the Telugu numbers. After the success of the film in two other languages and considering the huge resurgence in old-school masala films in Bollywood exemplified by Salman Khan's recent successes, it was inevitable that Vikramarkudu would come to Bollywood, and it looks fucking sharp!Rowdy Rathore has a wonderful pedigree behind it, with numerous extremely talented filmmakers and...
