Seethakaathi is so good & one of the most original films about art and legacy. Tamil cinema’s Birdman moment. It’s tragic that it didn’t work on the big screen but it’s a modern classic that’s now out on Amazon Prime. Art lives on.

Oh My Kaduvule is a refreshingly effective romantic comedy - the kind of film Imtiaz Ali used to make before Rockstar - screaming for a Bollywood remake.
It’s on Zee 5 with English subtitles with a Vijay Sethupathi cameo to merit a watch.

My first reaction to

Watch it soonest because it’s vulnerable to outrage by the usually offended. The spy thriller isn’t an easy genre to pull off but with unpredictable twists & a high body count, every episode drips tension. One of those shows where you learn no one is safe. Even you.

Sir, how can you a producer and a filmmaker, a pot call a kettle black? Let me spell it out for you. Tamil cinema breeds patriarchy (Male star worship & stalking culture has led to actual hacking of women) Patriarchy includes telling women what to do. Casual sexism, like this. :)

In 2018, there was a sexual harassment complaint against Mr.Radha Ravi by a distressed actress, who feared to reveal her identity. He walked scotfree. A little later Mr.Radha Ravi scandalously & insensitively mocked at the
