KARNAN SIVAJI GANESAN TAMIL MOVIE MOVIE
Dhanush in Jagame Thandhiram.ĭirector Karthik Subbaraj’s Jagame Thandhiram can’t be dismissed entirely but it is not the uber-cool gangster movie that we were promised. In the okayish film category, we also have Tamil anthology Kutty Story, Anbirkiniyal, a faithful remake of Malayalam hit Helen, director Shakti Soundar Rajan’s no-frills medical thriller with walking and talking teddy bear, Teddy. Again, the film got the mood and the visual style right but it offered nothing fresh in terms of emotions, especially if you had already seen Charlie. Director Dhilip Kumar attempted a remake of the Malayalam hit Charlie with Madhavan and Shraddha Srinath reprising the roles of Dulquer Salmaan and Parvathy. Maara suffered from the same affliction as Kabadadaari. A remake of Kannada hit Kavaludaari, director Pradeep Krishnamoorthy and his team of writers ensured they got the mood right but failed to catch the soul of the original. But, only if good intentions could make for great movies. Unlike Eswaran and Bhoomi, Kabadadaari was an honest attempt by its makers, who wanted to give us a clever film.
This allowed people to feel disappointed about the film from the comfort of their homes as opposed to risking their lives to see a brain-dead film like Eswaran in cinemas. At least they had the decency to release the film directly on a streaming platform. Starring Jayam Ravi in the lead role, director Lakshman had delivered a confused and unimaginative take on the ways to uplift the farming community from crushing debt. The film was extremely unoriginal and that’s not even scratching the surface. It was supposed to be a big comeback film for Simbu, who has been longing for a break for about five years now. There were surprises and disappointments in Tamil films released in the first six months of 2021.ĭirector Suseenthiran’s Eswaran was a non-starter from the word go.
In this piece, we will discuss the quality of movies that were released in the last six months.
