Only in Modi's India can a Minister tell the German Minister, 'We don’t want your China-built tech,' and Germany just shrugs, probably because they didn't get it.
> Germany de-industrialisation is real and it's up for a collapse.
Meiyyazhagan is the perfect leisurely Netflix film - to watch at your own pace.
This heartwarming film is not your usual masala staple- it is literally a novel unfolding on screen. Like a good book, it is best enjoyed in solitude, with your headphones on.
The hero's journey back to his roots resulting in his own rediscovery of himself, is poetic.
Every person who lives away from his homeland, would relate more with this modern day Arulmozhi, whose reluctant soul-searching gets richly rewarded in 21st century Chozha Naadu.
Aravindsamy is phenomenal to carry this character with such dignity - he brings out the 'ஆசை முகம் மறந்து போச்சே, இதை யாரிடம் சொல்வேனடி?' பரிதவிப்பு (helplessness) exceedingly well.
In the age of gory violent films, the conviction of the director to make these simple, rooted films, driven purely by hearty conversations and internal conflict is commendable.
The 18 minute force fit scenes of needless political peddling present in the original theatrical release is cut out from the OTT version. This is now a clean film, with the _____ having taken itself out.
To paraphrase EVR, this single frame is the தங்கத்தட்டில் வைத்த .... in this film. It has no bearing on the film's core plot.
Forgive and forget this frame, and enjoy the rest of this touching novel on your personal screens, at 1.5x speed.
