Thevar Magan (Thevar's son) is one of the best dramas of Indian cinema. It is also not easy to find.
It is not available on any OTT or on YouTube. I found it on Telegram, via a random thread on Redditt. Also, I ended up manually adjusting the subtitles close to 200000 milli seconds on VLC to sync with the film. But, man, it is worth the effort and then, some.
Starring two of the top actors to ever grace the screens, Sivaji Ganesan and Haasan, along with Revathi, Nasar & Gautami, it has too many supremely powerful scenes to describe here.
It was India's official entry to the 1992 Oscars and was *remade in Hindi as Virasat*.
In my formative years of cinematic understanding, in the 2000s, I could never understand the craze for Kamala Haasan. I had seen _Appu Raaja_ (in Hindi), in the 90s and had been blown away by its technical brilliance. However, as Haasan didn't fit into the conventional _hero_ mould, in looks, I could never connect with him.
However, after watching his earlier cult classics, such as Virumandi, Naayakan, Heyy Ram and then this, I believe that he is truly _Ulaga Nayakan_, the hero of the world, the term that his fans use. He is breathtakingly brilliant in both his avatars, one of a urbane, fun loving guy and then, the uber serious Thevar.
This is truly a God level acting masterclass. Can't be recommended highly enough.
