Film CommentaryMari said that Maamannan, his film’s powerful protagonist, is a reimagination of Esaki, a subservient character in ‘Thevar Magan’ who is willing to sacrifice his life for his master Sakthivelu, played by Kamal Haasan.Letting out a spoiler during the film Maamannan’s audio launch, Tamil filmmaker Mari Selvaraj said that his anti-caste film with Vadivelu and Udhayanidhi Stalin in the lead roles was “inspired” by the cult classic 1992 film Thevar Magan. Mari said that the powerful character of ‘Maamannan’, his film’s protagonist, is a reimagination of ‘Esaki’, a subservient character in Thevar Magan who is willing to sacrifice his life for his master ‘Sakthivelu’, played by Kamal Haasan.

ReviewThe film recognises the strangle-hold of grief, yet it asks us to fight for our joys from deep within our darkest moments.Bharathy SingaravelTrailerScreengrab/CourtesyViacom18StudiosDebutant director Ra Karthik sets up Nitham Oru Vaanam on a premise that sounds like a typical Kollywood story - a hero wallows in bitterness because the bride his parents found for him breaks off the marriage, choosing her boyfriend instead. And then, Karthik surprises us with a quirky, moving tale about second chances and what love can really mean. The film opens to Arjun (Ashok Selvan), sitting at a bus stop in Bhubaneswar, ruefully telling a fellow traveller, Shubha (Ritu Varma) about his broken off engagement. Subha is a seasoned solo backpacker, clearly happiest when she’s on the road. Arjun, on the other hand, can barely keep track of his own luggage and hates sleeping anywhere else but in his own bed.

ReviewThe film has good performances by the cast and is fun in parts, but the convoluted plot and lengthy runtime test your patience.Sowmya RajendranVivek Athreya's Ante Sundaraniki is a Telugu romcom that attempts to bring together two contrasting worlds. A Hindu Brahmin man and a Christian woman. The film opens with the two of them in their respective homes, both preparing to leave for the US. The intercuts establish how different they are from each other. Chalk and cheese. The opening sequence sets up the expectation that the two of them will meet in the foreign country, be repulsed by each other's differences initially, eventually reconcile and fall in love. That's the obvious plot that writes itself. But to Vivek's credit, that isn't what unfolds. Nani as Sundar and Nazriya as Leela Thomas are charming actors who can sell ice to an Eskimo, and the film relies heavily...

"How can we not talk about family when family’s all we got," Wiz Khalifa once said. It clearly is one of the most important things in any person’s life, without which they remain incomplete. It is the same in case of our most popular family man, aka Srikant Tiwari from Amazon Prime Video’s show - The Family Man.
While fans can’t get enough of Srikant Tiwari and his new nemesis, Raji, played by Samantha Akkineni, here is an appreciation for the key characters from this series without whom, the magic which this show has created would not be possible.
Suchitra (Priyamani)
The most important thing between a couple is understanding and respect for each other. Even though there were some hurdles in the lives of these love birds, Suchitra always had Srikant’s back and we can’t wait to see how their chemistry unfolds in the new season.

He’s badly in need of rest and nothing is going to compensate with his health. The filmmaker had a very tough time while filming his trilingual film ‘Raavanan’ and that could have been the reason letting buzzes open that it was his associate directors Azhagam Perumal and S.S. Stanley completing few portions.
There are more mixed reviews for the films and the box office collections are proving to be good at certain standards while poor in B and C centres. Meanwhile, there is a news spreading from Manirathnam’s office that he has got 3 scripts: one Simbhu to be shot in exotic foreign locations and another one for Dhanush tentatively titled as ‘Pookada’ and the final script, a big bang action packed thriller drama.
The biggest question is that whether he will be directing this film or else just produces it for his protégés or some of the ace filmmakers.
