âYezhu Kadal Yezhu Malaiâ movie review: Nivin Pauly, Soori anchor director Ramâs strangest, most emotionally distant film (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Generative Artificial Intelligence has become so intertwined with our day-to-day lives that even calling out its use is now a question of privilege â come on, how many of us have time to add â-aiâ to Google searches? So, even if it feels hypocritical to speak about the environmental impact of AI data centres, using this technology in filmmaking is absolutely a choice. Even as films continue to be made with traditional methods and human-made CGI and VFX tools, the fear of AI taking over fil
âBaththaâ movie review: Balaji Tharaneetharan returns with a delightfully funny, moving comedy-drama (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who are we when we no longer perform the role society forced upon us? In life, we may never realise what we have repressed that led us to put on that mask, all the while causing that rust in others. In Baththa, director Balaji Tharaneetharanâs first theatrical release in eight years, a dreaded don, the titular Baththa (Vijay Sethupathi), remembers who he truly is when he inadvertently crosses paths with a schoolboy. Set in 1986, the seed of Balaji Tharaneetharanâs story is something many of
Balaji Tharaneetharan on Vijay Sethupathiâs âBaththaâ and recreating '80s North Madras (opens the original)
Read excerpt
âA filmmaker who gave a debut film like Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom should have ideally done many films and be in a different league now.â This comment was posted under a promo for writer-director Balaji Tharaneetharanâs upcoming film, Baththa, starring Vijay Sethupathi, and the sentiment is not hard to understand. Balaji has had an interesting career trajectory; after delivering a blockbuster debut with NKPK in 2012, he began working on his second film, Seethakaathi, but paused the pr
âDorothyâ movie review: Karthik Subbarajâs queer drama is the most important Indian film of the year (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(This review might contain mild spoilers about the sub-genre, as Dorothy makes it necessary to tackle the online bigotry that has spoiled the filmâs cleverly concealed sub-genre) A man contemplates killing a part of himself because another woman embraced a part of herself that she had been suppressing all her life. This is a thread from the film we are discussing, but also an allegory for how queerphobic individuals on social media have been killing their own humanity these last few days, afte
âModha Rathriâ movie review: Rishikanth and Anishma are fantastic in this hilarious, poignant comedy-drama (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A temple priest chides his lord, a folk deity, for not giving it back to the villagers who have somehow always managed to disrespect both the deity and the priest. The latest misstep was sticking posters on the temple walls for a wedding they werenât formally invited to. âShow them you are here every once in a while,â urges the priest, and for the next 140-odd minutes, this is what happens. Let me clarify: this isnât a saami padam, which seems to be the seasonâs theme. This is debutant
