Every wanna be film maker is a fan of some critique… one review he always looks forward to after watching a film… to reconfirm his understanding of cinema. @baradwajrangan is that critique for me from my short film days. Reading his review on #SSESideB is coming a full circle ☺️

#12thFail is hands down the BEST Hindi film in YEARS! There is so much thought gone into its writing, and the filmmaking is so confident & mature that it made me jealous. This is a MUST WATCH in theatres & easily my most favourite Indian film of the year!

Have been following @falamb3 and @wasimakramlive ‘s show since one year and it’s interesting how they have cracked the format for an ideal cricket show. Something that nobody has managed to do. “Just talk about cricket”. Such a complex idea. I don’t know how it came to them.

Every film that makes you feel a little or extremely uncomfortable isn't necessarily a BAD film. How boring it would be if every movie character was presented as a virtuous, well-intentioned do-gooder with zero flaws! Is everyone perfect — and thinking pure thoughts all the time?

Hello! I've created a #Telegram movie club group. We'll discuss movies, TV shows, and all things cinema.

More importantly, we'll all watch a movie a week and have a streamlined discussion over the weekend, which I'll lead. Who all are in?

RT for reach. #FilmTwitter

@narcheady 😂😂😂😂 *the only thing to look forward to

Seriously as if two directors were directing two halves.
I really want @baradwajrangan to have deep analysis with the director discussing of what really went into writing the second half. Because there was a drastic tonal shift between the two halves.

2007: the last time I wept uncontrollably in the darkness of a cinema hall.
The film: Taare Zameen Par; the moment: Ishaan gets left behind at a boarding school

16 years later: Mari Selvaraj made me tear up with #Maamannan, especially through several moments in its first half that will probably never leave my system

In both films, the protagonists are punished for no fault of theirs. But in the case of #Maamannan, it doesn't stop with a single punishment or a single person: generations have paid and continue to pay the price

Even though the weight of an extremely powerful first half becomes too heavy for the shoulders of a rather repetitive, weak second half that crumbles, beyond all its imperfections, I'll still root for #Maamannan and especially for its creator Mari Selvaraj for what he tries to say and the spectacular way he tries to say it in

Many filmmakers have tried hard and failed to create compelling stories of social injustice but here's a storyteller whose canvas is painted with such strokes that it's no longer a painting to be watched & admired: you can smell the paint and hear the strokes scraping in your ears and feel its impact in your bones

In every heart-wrenching montage made more powerful by Rahman's terrific soundtrack; in every heartless act of Fahadh Faasil's Velu that reminds you of Ralph Fiennes' monster from Schindler's List; in every look of guilt and helplessness of Vadivelu's Maamannan that reminds you of every father who couldn't stand up for himself...
There's an anger and a scream that's too loud to be ignored anymore

Maamannan may be an imperfect sword with rough and jagged edges...but it's still a sword powerful enough to pierce through

More power to Mari🗡️

Can't keep calm because Mari Selvaraj is coming back, with Vadivelu, ARR and FaFa in his arsenal this time.
