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...

ReviewDirected by actor Vishnu Raghav and starring Keerthy Suresh and Tovino Thomas as advocates, ‘Vaashi’ is tightly packed and has some lovely performances.CrisVaashi does not drag, linger too much on the side stories, but gets straight to the point. The film, like the courtroom it is mostly set in, has much to tell in little time. Keerthy Suresh and Tovino Thomas, playing advocates, make it an interesting affair. It is not altogether a new theme – partners in life having to duel in the court. But the pace of the film and its treatment by Vishnu Raghav, an actor directing his first feature, is to be appreciated. The introductions happen quickly enough – Tovino as Ebin Mathew, a struggling lawyer without an office, Keerthy Suresh as Madhavi Mohan, a junior advocate who is not taken seriously, and Baiju, in a wonderful performance, as a mentor to both of them.

The short-lived genius of Ananthu (assistant director) is also at work. However, the star of Thillu Mullu is Rajinikanth, who has to contend with a screen-stealing turn from actor Thengai Srinivasan. The repartee between the two actors gets most of the laughs in a movie whose stated ambition is to make you laugh. As the film begins, Rajinikanth, making faces with his face pressed against a sheet of glass, says he is going to pretend he has a twin brother.

Flix FlashbackThe 1981 film written by Mt Vasudevan Nair and directed by Hariharan reveals the abuse and exploitation that goes on in circus life.Neelima MenonFacebookThe poignant symbolism of Mt Vasudevan Nair’s writing meets the unsparing eye of director Hariharan in Valarthumrigangal, the 1981 film that peeled the curtains back on the grim lives of circus artistes. The co-habitation of humans and animals lends some heavy irony to this film that reveals the marvel of human ability and the horror of our moral degradation. Let us rewind to this classic masterpiece of socially conscious ‘80s Malayalam cinema. The titles unspool before the backdrop of a street circus. A man smilingly beats a drum, another plays a flute, a kid is doing cartwheels, and a woman holds a long wooden stick, deftly walking the tightrope. Back home in their small hut, it is not a rosy picture. They know their meagre earnings won’t suffice.

OpinionWhat we see in adult films like 'Irandam Kuthu' is only an extension of what's normalised in 'U' rated films that are marketed as 'family' films.Sowmya RajendranVeteran director Bharathiraja is upset with Santhosh P Jayakumar's upcoming adult horror comedy Irandam Kuthu. The teaser of the film has plenty of references to masturbation and explicit scenes, besides dialogues that are filled with innuendo. In a strongly worded letter, Bharathiraja termed the promo 'unbearable' and even asked for the government and the Cbfc to step in. Not to take the reprimand lying down, Santhosh shot back with a tweet that shows a still of Kamal Haasan with three women actors in swimsuits from the 1981 Bharathiraja film Tik Tik Tik. Santhosh asked if the director didn't find this unbearable in 1981. But even as social media users take sides on the issue, the debate is largely on whether Bharathiraja is a hypocrite or not.

In this short retrospective, we look at the character Chandu, played by Mammootty, as a complex soul who perhaps lost more battles in life than he won. In the original folklore, it is said that Chandu was a warrior who lived in the 16th century and allied with Aringoder Chekavar to kill his cousin Aromal Chekavar when his love for Unniyarcha is spurned. Though Mt Vasudevan Nair gives a noble spin to the villainous Chandu, he comes with his own share of complications and complexes in Hariharan’s Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha.

Film CommentaryWhile Savitri is full of effusive praise for the men in her life, she has only contempt for her daughter-in-law. Sounds familiar?Sowmya RajendranThis piece is not a review and contains spoilers. If you haven't watched the film and don't like to read spoilers before watching, please don't read ahead. Nandini Reddy's Oh! Baby starring Samantha in the lead is the Telugu remake of a Korean film titled Miss Granny. The original has been remade in different languages across the world and has tasted success everywhere. And why not? The war among women in a patriarchal society is present everywhere too. You would think that bearing the brunt of living in a culture where men and masculinity are valued over women and femininity would bring women together as natural allies. But that's hardly the case – patriarchy is sustained and celebrated because people of all genders buy into it...

The incredible Rajinikanth - the living legend on his own, known for his phenomenal star power and action once followed the subtle, controlled and noted nuance of Amol Palekar - the actor/filmmaker known for his award winning performance in evergreen gems like Golmaal and other memorable movies like Rajnigandha, Chhoti Si Baat, Chitchor etc.
It may sound strange, weird but it?s true, the crowd pleasing massy flashy image of Thalaivar who can do anything onscreen followed the simplicity of Amol Palekar.
It was the year 1981; The Rajini mania was on the rise thanks to the remakes of his idol Amitabh Bachchan?s Don - Billa (1980), Amar Akbar Anthony - Ram Robert Rahim (May 1980), Deewar - Thee (1981) etc.

OrbituaryKodi Ramakrishna was admitted in hospital after he complained of breathing trouble.Tnm StaffDirector of the superhit film Arundhati, Kodi Ramakrishna, passed away in Hyderabad on Friday due to ill health. The director reportedly complained of breathing trouble, following which he was rushed to a private hospital in Gachibowli on Thursday evening. He was put on ventilator, but passed away. Kodi Ramakrishna directed several superhit films which include Ammoru, Devullu, Bharat Bandh, Pelli Sandhadi, Devi, Anji among others. Ammoru was made in Tamil as Amman, which was dubbed in several other languages later. The director was known to make devotional films that required computer-generated graphics. In his career spanning the Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada film industries, he had directed more than 100 films. The director made a comeback with the film Arundhati starring Anushka Shetty, which was made in 2009. The film created a trend for films with women actors in the lead.

KollywoodIt's true Jyothika quit films to get married but the trailer for 'Naachiyar' suggests that the actor is not letting marriage or motherhood define her career.Sowmya RajendranFacebook/JyoSuriyaThe trailer for Bala's upcoming thriller Naachiyar shows Jyothika playing a rough and tough cop who brooks no nonsense. The teaser for the film, which saw the actor mouthing a common sexist and casteist cuss word, had sent ripples across social media, with several people objecting not to the word in particular, but to the gender of the person uttering it. The trailer suggests that Jyothika has transformed herself into a character she has never played before – not just the cop role but how she's playing it. The aggression is distinctly different from the cutesy, "bubbly" roles that defined her career when she was acting with the industry's top heroes. Jyothika, who made her debut with Priyadarshan's 1998 Hindi film Doli Saja Ke Rakhna, entered the Tamil industry with Vaali. In the film, she was the whimsical creation of a young man (Ajith) trying to impress a woman (Simran) with a fake love story. The O Sona girl, the half-sister of Nagma – who had done superhit films like Baasha and Kadhalan – became quickly popular. The 2000 film Kushi, in which she starred with Vijay, made her a big hit with the audience. Jyothika in Vaali In her first stint, Jyothika was known for her expressive eyes and over-the-top gestures (in a recent interview, the actor said that in those days, she was "over-acting" and not acting). The "loosu ponnu", the south Indian version of the manic pixie, was becoming the most favoured characterisation for heroines in mainstream Tamil films. The "feminine innocence" of the yesteryear heroine was further infantilised to create a child-woman whose "enthusiasm" and exaggerated gestures passed off as "cute". As the next generation of heroes after Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan became larger-than-life and turned into demi-gods, the women they pursued on screen were increasingly relegated to song and dance sequences which would be preceded by a "romance" track. Jyothika, who is frequently described as "bubbly", played several such roles; but she also made some interesting career choices. In Rhythm, for instance, she signed up to play a married woman who dies in a train accident. The same year saw the release of Snegithiye, a thriller which had only women actors in lead roles – a proposition that's still considered risky in Kollywood. Jyothika also experimented with genres when given the opportunity, doing films like the adventure fantasy Little John (in which she starred with American actor Bentley Mitchum), Perazhagan (in which she played a dual role, one of which was the visually challenged, de-glamourised Shenbagam), June R (which is about a young woman who "adopts" a mother) and Mozhi (her portrayal of a hearing and speech impaired woman won her the Tamil Nadu State Film Award). In Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, she played a single mom who attempts suicide because of a failed relationship, while in Pachaikili Muthucharam, she played the villain – a woman who seduces men and blackmails them for money. To be sure, Jyothika's acting wasn't on par with the likes of woman actors like Sridevi, Revathi, Gautami, Madhavi, Urvashi and many others who had ruled the screen before her time. She didn't have their versatility, but she remained likable to the audience, succeeding especially in romantic films like Dum Dum Dum and Sillinu Oru Kadhal. Her character in Gautham Menon's Kaakha Kaakha, which established Suriya (whom she would eventually marry) as a star to reckon with, is still remembered by many as among her best. Fans of Suriya and Jo will swear that the couple, who acted together in seven films, shared the best on screen chemistry. Jyothika had acted with both Kamal Haasan (Tenali, Vetaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu) and Rajinikanth (Chandramukhi was a massive hit) and all the younger stars (Vijay, Vikram, Suriya, Prashanth, Madhavan) by the time she predictably called it quits to marry Suirya in 2006. Her comeback to cinema with 36 Vayadhiniley, the remake of the Malayalam film How Old Are You, saw the actor asserting herself and being vocal about women characters on screen. While many have appreciated her for speaking up, several have also cast aspersions on her intentions, believing her statements to be "marketing" for her films. Many have also been dismissive of her return to cinema, accusing her of sticking to doing vanilla, 'feel-good' films that use feminism as a crutch. But going by what we've seen so far of Naachiyaar, Jyothika seems determined to stay and do so on her own terms. She isn't playing to attract the family audience, she's looking to establish herself as a "mass" star, the one who is greeted by wild cheers and loud whistles. While we've had actors like Vijayshanti who have ably performed fight sequences, a woman swearing and wearing her aggression on her sleeves – and being welcomed for it – is new. While mainstream Tamil cinema is still dominated by male star vehicles, we're seeing some interesting changes in characterising the female hero – whether that's Jyothika in Magalir Mattum, Nayanthara in Aramm and Dora or Revathi in Gulaebaghavali. They get "mass" moments, the hero walk, and even punch dialogues. What's more, the audience seems to be lapping it up, at least in the metros. Bollywood has its Vidya Balan and Kangana Ranaut. In the south, actors like Nayanthara, Trisha, Anushka Shetty, and Jyothika have reached a certain phase in their career when they are confident that their name on the title cards alone can bring audiences to the theatres. And they seem to be finding producers and directors who are willing to take a chance, too. It's too early to pass any judgment about Naachiyaar, but one can safely say that the film is a sign of the times; even if it turns out to be terrible, it still signals the arrival of an exciting moment in Tamil cinema as far as gender is concerned. We're finally going to see a woman actor do her job, minus the baggage of marriage and motherhood dictating the roles she's "allowed" to do.

Says a source, "Hrithik and Priyanka don't believe in half-measures. If they've to convey intense feelings and passion they will go the whole hog in Agneepath. If in Krissh they romanced innocently keeping the kids in mind, their togetherness in Agneepath will be for Adults only." The camaraderie between Hrithik and Priyanka is so palpable that Karan Johar gets a sense of deja vu.
