It all started well in Malaikottai Vaaliban. The arid landscape, the aesthetic color palette, characters popping out of carefully crafted set pieces, and the striking background score, reminiscent of Ennio Morricone – it was evident Lijo Jose Pellissery had been watching too many spaghetti westerns. Pellissery, known for his breakout indie Angamaly Diaries, kept his inspirations intact as he introduced Mohanlal, who embodies Malaikottai Vaaliban, a mighty wrestler and wandering warrior. The film opens with a satisfying sequence. An ox cart slowly rumbles through the deserted landscape of a village. A young man walking along the ox cart announces with the same vigor as a wrestling announcer that the cart belongs to Malaikottai Vaaliban.

As the commotion reaches its crescendo,...

ReviewWhile 'Pichaikkaran 2', directed by Vijay Antony himself, has a lot of empty rhetoric on poverty, some crucial plot threads are left hanging.Vijay Antony in Pichaikkaran 2: Youtube/Saregama TamilPichaikkaran 2 begins with the slogan ‘Money is injurious to the world’. Logically then, the film should be about how money destroys those who have it, but the entire film is about how amazing life can be when you have wealth and how terrible it is when you don’t have it. As slogans go, it’s safe to say that this one misses the mark by a mile. The first Pichaikkaran (2016), directed by Sasi and starring Vijay Antony, was about a rich man who lives as a beggar because a sage tells him that this will help him save his mother who is in a coma. Pichaikkaran 2 is directed by Vijay Antony himself – and follows pretty much the same formula,...

ReviewEverybody growls in this film, and there are more villains than one can count, performing to deafening soundtracks. What’s missing is a story.MoviePosterWhat is the story? Who is smuggling from whom? Why are there so many villains? Is Agilan, played by an always-grumpy Jayam Ravi, a criminal with a good heart, or is all his secretive do-gooding a counterbalance for his criminality? Why is everything happening to the soundtrack of a man growling gajagajagajagaaa gajagajagajagaaa very loudly the whole time? What does this person have to growl about? I felt like growling too, mainly in frustration. These are only a percentage of the head-spinning questions I have for director N Kalyanakrishnan after watching his latest Tamil release Agilan. Actually, growling is the sole unifying theme of this movie, which can loosely be described as a story about a lot of smugglers working out of a harbour in Tamil...

It begins with a chase and some beating up in a college hostel, followed by a young man walking dejectedly into his room, and another jumping off a fence. Just as you shake your head and allow things to fall in place, you are given one important character after another – you know they are important, because the heavy background music with its dramatic highs and lows never stops playing. There is a plethora of politicians dropping on screen, with little attempt to hide the similarities to their real life versions. Varaal, in its attempt to...

To prove it, in his very first scene, he’s shown choosing between two guns to use on a man who has wronged him, and then decides to not shoot him after all.

She’s shown riding a Bullet while wearing silk sarees and chunky jewellery. She commands a group of goons around and smokes a cigar. The mother-son relationship is non-existent and on the rare occasion when they do meet, Sundhari Bai is treated poorly by her son. In one scene, she is physically kicked into the air by Market Raja.

KollywoodJyothika's Geetha Rani is a refreshing character but the film does not rise above the predictable one-line story of a teacher turning a school around.Anjana ShekarAs Geetha Rani enters the government school in R Pudur, the camera carefully trains our eyes on all that’s wrong with the place. Broken compound walls, children lazing around on the grounds while it’s clearly school hours, some buying cigarettes from a snacks stall, broken gates, broken roofs, teachers who read magazines inside the staff room… you get the drift. Jyothika’s introduction comes as a surprise to many in the film but not so for the audience - who else but the Hm can land at a school and examine it so critically? Quite a few Tamil films have been made to criticise the country’s education system, Samuthirakani’s Saatai for example. Raatchasi, as promised by its trailer, is clearly one such endeavour.
