CinemaIn ‘Natchathiram Nagargiradhu’, Pa Ranjith has shredded the plot and characters of ‘Minsara Kanavu’ to derive a more assertive narrative about love.It has been one year since Natchathiram Nagargiradhu released in cinemas worldwide. While some have enthusiastically appreciated Pa Ranjith’s attempt at addressing a range of contemporary socio-political topics, others have called it an experiment gone sour. Most commentators, however, agree that this movie saw the filmmaker flexing a novel story-telling muscle to communicate abstract yet progressive ideas. There is one fine detail that most reviewers and critics seem to have missed. Natchathiram Nagargiradhu has not emerged from a blank canvas. Instead, it artfully continues a conversation that was set in motion long ago. In the groundbreaking BBC docu series Ways of Seeing (1972), Marxist art critic John Berger says, “Remember that I am controlling and using for my own purposes the means of reproduction needed for these programmes … As with all programmes,...

We have many films and television shows that have had male or female actors play the role of a trans man or a trans woman, and in most cases, they have aced it. The notable ones are Sadashiv Amrapurkar in Sadak, Vijay Sethupathi in Super Deluxe, Kalidas Jayaram in Paava Kadhaigal, and Kubra Sait in Sacred Games. We have never had anyone tell the story of a prominent transgender activist who has faced severe hardships and managed to help the downtrodden. We are talking about Shreegauri Sawant, a prominent figure who fought for the rights of transgender community in India. Keeping her story in mind, writer Kshitij Patwardhan, director Ravi Jadhav, and creators Arjun Singgh Baran and Kartik D Nishandar give the audience Taali, a six-episode mini-series about her life. The question remains: Was Taali a good attempt to showcase her struggle?

Here are six of his movies you must certainly watch.With Maamannan’s release, actor Fahaad Faasil has once again shown Tamil audiences that he is just as good in Kollywood movies, as he is in Malayalam cinema. The ease with which he plays quirky characters, and his ability to take on wide-ranging roles instead of playing the conventional hero in both his own tongue Malayalam, and in Tamil, have won the actor fans in both Kerala and Tamil Nadu. His performance in Malayalam films like 22 Female Kottayam (2012), Amen (2013), Kumbalangi Nights (2o19), and Maheshinte Prathikaaram (2016) revealed him to be an excellent character actor capable of embodying the murkier side of human nature with terrifying accuracy.

The latest iteration titled Modern Love: Chennai, boasts a directorial list that includes Bharathiraja and Thiagarajan Kumaraja.

Spoiler Alert for those who have not seen the film “Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui.”
Bollywood A-lister Ayushmann Khurrana headlines the cast of transgender-themed romance “Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui,” which is currently on release worldwide.
Across Indian cinema as a whole, trans characters have been portrayed sensitively as leads of films like “Daayra” (1996) “Tamanna” (1998), “Just Another Love Story” (2010), “Nanu Avanalla Avalu” (2015), “Njan Marykutty” (2018) and “Super Deluxe” (2019). However their representation in mainstream commercial Bollywood cinema veers between villainous characters, like Sadashiv Amrapurkar’s Maharani in “Sadak” (1991), and crude comedy parts. “Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui” is unique in that it brings a trans character to the fore in Bollywood.
Khurrana plays Manvinder Munjal, a macho gym instructor in the northern Indian city of Chandigarh, who is smitten with Maanvi Brar, a Zumba teacher who shares his work space. They consummate their relationship and decide to get married when Maanvi reveals that she used to be a...
Bollywood A-lister Ayushmann Khurrana headlines the cast of transgender-themed romance “Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui,” which is currently on release worldwide.
Across Indian cinema as a whole, trans characters have been portrayed sensitively as leads of films like “Daayra” (1996) “Tamanna” (1998), “Just Another Love Story” (2010), “Nanu Avanalla Avalu” (2015), “Njan Marykutty” (2018) and “Super Deluxe” (2019). However their representation in mainstream commercial Bollywood cinema veers between villainous characters, like Sadashiv Amrapurkar’s Maharani in “Sadak” (1991), and crude comedy parts. “Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui” is unique in that it brings a trans character to the fore in Bollywood.
Khurrana plays Manvinder Munjal, a macho gym instructor in the northern Indian city of Chandigarh, who is smitten with Maanvi Brar, a Zumba teacher who shares his work space. They consummate their relationship and decide to get married when Maanvi reveals that she used to be a...

Photo: ‘Red’/Netflix One of the many joys of Netflix is the large variety of content we might not otherwise consider watching. Sometimes we want our comfort shows; other times, we want to turn away from ‘Bridgerton’ or ‘Schitt’s Creek’ and try something a little different. An Indian thriller, perhaps? The release of ‘Red’, like many movies of 2020, was delayed due to Covid-19 complications, but at last, it has had its debut. This remake of the 2019 film ‘Thadam’ tells the story of two doppelgängers being tried for the same crime by a scrambling and baffled police department. The thriller, directed by Thirumala Kishore retells this fascinating premise, held up by an incredible performance by Ram Pothineni who plays both Siddharth and Aditya. The film is no doubt entertaining and certainly has its moments, but if you’re here for a tightly woven, fascinating plot, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.
