He is one of the suspects in the 1988 crime film Oru Cbi Diary Kuruppu. Up until then, Janardhanan had mostly played the unabashed villain in Malayalam films of the 70s and 80s. But for reasons best known to K Madhu, the director of Mammootty’s Cbi series, Janardhanan was cast as the harmless rich guy in the film, whose misfortunes somehow translated into comic relief for the audience.

The release of revered Indian filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s hugely anticipated epic adaptation of Kalki Krishnamurthy’s classic Tamil-language novel “Ponniyin Selvan” is the realization of his childhood dream.
One of India’s most celebrated filmmakers whose films include “Nayakan,” “Bombay” and “Iruvar,” Ratnam read the novel when he was in high school and wanted to make it ever since. Post the tremendous critical and commercial success of “Nayakan” (1987), when that film’s lead Kamal Haasan wanted to make another film with Ratnam, the filmmaker considered “Ponniyin Selvan,” but the stars did not align at that time.
Ratnam’s last film, “Chekka Chivantha Vaanam” (2018), was co-produced by his Madras Talkies and Subaskaran’s Lyca Productions (“2.0”).
“After ‘Chekka Chivantha Vaanam,’ it happened – when Lyca asked what I was planning to do next, I told them, not planning anything, but I would like to do ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ and Subaskaran said yes – and that’s when it started,...

Neelima MenonVultures fighting for their pound of flesh, a King Cobra slithering out of the mouth of a human skull, crows cavorting in the sky, dusty barren trails, flanked by rocky foothills —Vaisali unspools almost ghoulishly, signifying a parched landscape. Weary men, women, and children greedily reach for the water bags tied over donkeys, even as the King’s soldiers shoo them away. King Lomapadan, tall and stately, sits despondently in his chariot, watching the earth and humans around him wilting under the sun, dying for a drop of water. But there is a stark dichotomy in that opening shot, almost like a vacant canvas, biding its time to be streaked in colours.

MollywoodAs he makes his Bollywood debut, Nivin says that actors should push themselves by crossing boundaries.Digital NativeMalayalam star Nivin Pauly is keen on expanding his boundaries by signing up films in other languages as well. After carving a niche for himself in Kollywood with movies like Richie and Neram, he is all set for his Bollywood debut. The Malayalam film Moothon, directed by Geetu Mohandas, is getting dubbed in Hindi as well. In an interview to the Ians, he told, “The language part is always challenging. For a Malayali actor, it won't be that comfortable to do a film in Tamil, Telugu or Hindi. I believe we should push ourselves by crossing boundaries. I think every actor should attempt that in their career. There is one blessed career that God gave us and we shouldn't be sitting in one place and getting comfortable. There is no harm in trying something new.

MollywoodWhile his fans are raving about his looks, a section of the film buffs did not fail to notice the similarities with 'Gladiator, the Greek Warrior'.Digital NativeDigital NativeMohanlal’s look in his upcoming film Kayamkulam Kochunni has now become the talk of the tinsel town. While his fans are raving about his looks, a section of the film buffs did not fail to notice the similarities with Gladiator, the Greek Warrior. Discussions about Mohanlal not even appearing to look like an Indian is doing rounds and sources close to the Kayamkulam Kochunni team have an explanation for it. Reports are that he plays the legendary thief, Ithikkara Pakki in the film. As someone who robs the traders and travellers, it quite natural for his looks to be foreign. Mohanlal plays a cameo in Kayamkulam Kochunni while Nivin Pauly will be seen in the title role. Directed by Rosshan Andrews, the film is based on the life of a highwayman who lived in the 19th century in the Central Travancore region. This Robinhood style thief stole from the rich to feed the poor. Kochunni died in jail in 1859.

MollywoodWhile Nivin Pauly plays the titular role, Mohanlal will be seen as Ithikkara Pakki in the film.Digital NativeDigital NativeRecently, Mohanlal had posted a still of himself with Nivin Pauly from his upcoming film Kayamkulam Kochunni and this had gone viral as expected. While Nivin Pauly plays the title role in the film, Mohanlal will be seen as Ithikkara Pakki in it. Interestingly, both are legendary Robin Hood type characters who lived in central Travancore during the 19th century. Mohanlal, who has an interesting line-up of films getting ready for release, joined the sets of Kayamkulam Kochunni earlier this week. Directed by Rosshan Andrrews, the film has been written by Bobby and Sanjay. The star cast of the film includes Mohanlal, Nivin Pauly, Priya Anand, Priyanka Thimmesh, Sunny Wayne and Babu Antony. It may be mentioned here that while the story of the film would revolve around Nivin Pauly’s character Kayamkulam Kochunni, Mohanlal will be seen in an extended cameo. The star had completed shooting of the Ajoy Varma directorial earlier this month and hopped on to the sets of Kayamkulam Kochunni to wrap up his portions. The shooting of the film is currently in progress in Mangalore. According to reports, the team will move over to Sri Lanka for the next schedule where some important portions would be canned. Nivin Pauly had to do a lot of homework to get into the skin of the character. He took training in Kerala’s traditional martial arts Kalaripayatt to play the 19th century highway robber. With short-cropped hair, handlebar moustache and a beefed up physique, Nivin will sport a menacing look in the film. And with Mohanlal losing some weight for Odiyan, his looks in the movie will be a special treat to watch as well. Gopi Sunder is scoring the music for this flick with Binod Pradhan cranking the camera and A Sreekar Prasad editing it. The film will be out in theatres later this year, say sources.

Mollywood Jeethu Joseph's action thriller has plenty to like although the writing could have been better.Fahir MaithuttyPranav’s father, Mohanlal is the biggest action superstar Malayalam cinema has produced. There have been actors like Babu Antony who've performed the stunts better. But no one has been as successful as Mohanlal in this genre for this long. Whether it is Rajavinte Makan in the '80s, Yodha or Sphadikam in the '90s or even Pulimurugan last year, Mohanlal’s dedication and energy when it comes to performing stunts on screen has rarely found better counterparts. What strikes you first in Pranav Mohanlal’s debut as a leading actor is how his speed and agility in stunts reminds you of his father. It is a smart move from Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph to launch Pranav in a movie that capitalises on the star son’s strengths. We have seen glimpses of these skills when he acted as a child artist in Onnaman in 2001. He has only scaled up further after the extensive training he underwent in Parkour stunts in Australia. It also helps that Jeethu Joseph has written a story which has its hero on the run for a major part of the movie’s run-time. Aadhi tells the story of Aadhithya Mohan, a young man (Pranav Mohanlal) whose dream is to make a mark as a big music director, for which his dad (Siddique) has allowed him only two years to try and succeed. Though he is actually innocent, he gets tangled up in the death of the son of a business tycoon (Jagapathi Babu) in a pub in Bengaluru. The rest of the film is about Aadhi fighting back. Aadhi’s major highlight is its chase scenes. Pranav jumps from building to building and climbs from the ground to roofs with astonishing speed that it will take another viewing to completely appreciate how well he has done it. He even does a decent job bashing up the bad guys when he is not flying in the air. Though the stunts are what he does best, Pranav’s debut is not about that alone. He starts off a little shakily and you notice that he is not at ease delivering dialogues. The camera tries to be distant from him in the first half, indicating perhaps that the actor wasn’t comfortable initially. But Pranav surprisingly gets a lot better in the second half, with his screen presence and dialogue presentation getting a good boost. The actor also emotes well when he breaks down in a phone conversation with his father after a tragic event. Jeethu Joseph has always been a better screenplay writer than a director. It is his writing that can take you by complete surprise at every turn and this is what made Memories and Drishyam two of the finest thrillers of this decade. We miss that extremely skilled writer in the first half of Aadhi as Jeethu takes his sweet time to establish characters and their histories. Even after Aadhi lands himself in a difficult situation, it might trouble you that he takes a long while before finding a way out of it. The movie is stuck at the same plot point some 30 minutes around the interval. Like his previous outing Oozham, Jeethu Joseph once again has caricature villains who are underdeveloped and don’t really think ahead of the hero. The director brings his A-game in the movie’s last hour. The entire sequence where Aadhi devices a solid plan to get into the office building to meet Jagapathi Babu gives you ample thrills and reminds you what Jeethu Joseph is capable of when he is in his elements. There are enough clever tricks that the leading hero pulls out of his hat in this part of the story. Siddique is as dependable as ever and Lena has some light moments in the first half. But the movie might have benefited with lesser space for Aadhi’s parents after a while. The presence of Meghanadan and Anushree brings some relief, the latter especially evoking some good laughs. The bond that slowly grows between Anushree’s character( Jaya) and Aadhi is well established. Siju Wilson is a weak link in the movie. Another actor who looks the part of a villainous young man would have made a big difference. Jagapathi Babu would do well to stop choosing such bad guy roles in Malayalam movies that don't offer anything exciting to him as an actor. Satheesh Kurup’s camera does a fantastic job in capturing Pranav’s speed in chase scenes aptly. The background by Anil Johnson, who is a regular in Jeethu Joseph movies, goes by his usual job of adding thrills to the tense scenes. His songs though once again aren’t impressive. Aadhi is Jeethu Joseph’s most satisfying movie since Drishyam and a decent debut vehicle for Pranav Mohanlal. Pranav has a long way to go before you can compare him with his father or even his contemporaries. But Aadhi’s second hour is the sign that he could get better as he spends more time in front of camera. For now, he has exploited the fact that not many young heroes in Malayalam have taken the risk to do stunts like he has in his debut movie. That just about gives Aadhi the impetus it needs.

The Woman In The Fifth (15)
(Pawel Pawlikowski, 2011, Fra/Pol/UK) Ethan Hawke, Kristin Scott Thomas, Joanna Kulig. 84 mins.
Mysteries abound in this sombre, 1970s-style drama, and so do women. Hawke's emotionally wracked American in Paris is plagued by them – not just the seductress of the title (Scott Thomas) but also his estranged wife and daughter, and the pretty Polish waitress. Plus some dodgy (male) gangster types. If it all seems too good to be true, it is, but this doesn't show its hand till very late on – maybe too late – and maybe too many cards, or too few.
Hadewijch (12A)
(Bruno Dumont, 2009, Fra) Julie Sokolowski, Yassine Salime, Karl Sarafidis. 105 mins.
Boldly drawing connections between (Christian) religious devotion and (Muslim) religious extremism, this radical but naturalistic drama follows a rejected nun whose search for spiritual solace takes her far out of her central Paris comfort zone, and deep into the paradoxes of faith.

It looks like Tamil Cinema has been travelling through a horrible phase as most of the previous week’s releases have been letting down with big disappointments. This week’s release ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya’ isn’t an exception as the film fails you terribly.
Gowtham seems to be very much overconfident with his scripting and scatter-brained screenplay, which is so lethargic during most of the film’s course.
If Silambarasan overreacted with his commercial tactics in previous films, this one shapes him down in a different way, which is again a sort of unnatural disorder.
