The last two episodes of Label hastily concluded the gory saga where Prabhakaran tried to save two educated men from Vaali Nagar despite their adamance about choosing the world of crime. Prabhakaran had tried everything to get Ayya out in the open, and it seemed that his colleague Ranga had finally found out who Ayya was. But Ranga was murdered, and Prabhakaran had to figure out a different tactic. He had filed 167 cases against Ayya, which was enough for the judge to put pressure on the police to find Ayya. The police just had a fingerprint to go by, and Prabhakaran knew what he had to do next amidst Bunk Suresh and Sengutttuvan’s ‘Label Wars’.

But he watches him from a distance, discreetly sizing him up and even attacking him upfront once. Satheeshan is the quasi-narrator in Rorschach (2022), the one who objectively tries to make sense of Luke Antony’s (Mammootty) motives. Actor Sharaf U Dheen blends so seamlessly into the milieu that he could very well be any random villager who passes your home after a day’s work. There is a sloppiness he brings to Satheeshan that doesn’t seem deliberate. Look at the ease with which he carries his tool bag while manoeuvring around. His complex liaison with the two women is also interestingly staged.

ReviewThe Warrior is a bilingual film made in Tamil and Telugu.

The actor said that he could not contain his excitement and tweeted about it immediately after the script was narrated to him. But after watching the film on screen, it feels like either Director N Lingusamy did not execute the script well, or the actor needs to refine his choice of films. The Warrior stars Ram Pothineni (playing the role of Sathya) and Krithi Shetty (Mahalakshmi) in the lead roles while actor Aadhi Pinisetty (Guru) plays the antagonist.

It has some enjoyable films and some duds, and our wait for a truly satisfying and edgy Indian anthology continues.Sowmya RajendranYouTube screengrabNagesh Kukunoor already made a modern love story way back in 1998. Hyderabad Blues was one of those little indie films that became a big marker for people like me, who grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s.

KollywoodSports drama is not new to Tamil cinema but 'Natpe Thunai' spins the package around a new game and a new landscape.Anjana ShekarNatpe Thunai is singer Hiphop Aadhi’s second film as an actor.

There are also familiar actors from YouTube channels like ‘Temple Monkeys’ Sha Ra, ‘Eruma Saani' Vijay Kumar, Rj Vigneshkanth, ‘Put Chutney’ Raj Mohan, ‘Pazhaya Joke’ Rajkumar, and even Bijili Ramesh. If the film’s title did not give you enough hints of its target audience, the casting sure will. Aadhi plays Prabhakaran, a young man from Pondicherry who wants to go to France. This ambition lasts for about ten minutes because soon, he shifts focus, pining after a woman he meets in Pondicherry. The woman, he finds out, is Deepa (Anagha), who is a hockey player in Karaikal.

OpinionHere’s one thing almost every serial follows: For some reason, heroines switch to sarees after marriage, even if they have to go to medical colleges to continue their education.Kavitha MuralidharanScreenshot from 'Selva Magal' promo. Courtesy: Sun TV.Watching Tamil serials can be a spiritually elevating experience. It can leave you numb, emotionless and stoic. There are women who can make your own problems appear much smaller. And then there are women who will make the offenders you are reporting on look holy. Tamil serial terrain is not all that unfamiliar to someone like me. Ever since Tamil channels started airing serials, portrayal of women has always vacillated between two extremes – either an epitome of sacrifice, or the personification of evil. Over two decades since Tamil serials started capturing the imagination of the middle classes, little or nothing has changed. Perhaps they have gone from bad to worse. And...

MollywoodPranav could possibly handle stronger roles in the future but he lacks conviction as Appu, a shortcoming you stop noticing when the heroine appears as a sad stereotype.CrisIn the opening credits, Pranav Mohanlal’s last name comes first and stays there for a whole moment before the first name quietly gets added. It is his second film, Pranav’s, but it seems filmmakers still like to introduce him through his star dad. The first teaser of Irupathiyonnaam Noottaandu showed Pranav step out of a car, wearing Rayban sunglasses, and folding his mundu, a style Mohanlal had once made popular. The rest of the movie has nothing to do with this look, and it appears that the teaser was released just to create a certain impression. Even the title is a derivation of one of Mohanlal’s popular action movie of the '80s, Irupatham Noottaandu. But director Arun Gopy...

MollywoodThe artificiality fades a little in the second half of the film, when it picks pace.CrisRanam begins and ends with the same scene, the same voice. Prithviraj’s. He is there in nearly every frame. And if he isn’t seen, he is heard. It’s nice to begin a movie with a narration. But for Ranam, the narration is a constant. Aadhi (Prithvi’s character) mouths long lines, connecting a past with a present, a Kerala with a Detroit. The artificiality begins there, in that narration. It doesn’t go away when the narration ends and the camera goes into Detroit, a city it first pans from up above, out of focus for some reason. The clichéd chase that follows, and the background music in this sequence in which Aadhi emerges successful, is disappointing if you had gone with expectations.
