The Sengalam series, from the first episode to the last episode, is shown as traveling through flashbacks and the present, from โ€œthat dayโ€ to โ€œtodayโ€. The first four episodes of the series cover marriage, death, and homicide, so the plot proceeds quickly. The next portion demonstrates the political gains, aspirations for a charge, and crimes done for it.

Thus, Sengalam continues to move at a fast pace without any speed limits until the sixth episode. Even though the plot may have heated up following Vani Bhojan’s political aspirations, it’s reverse that has admirers dozing off.

Vani Bhojan showed innovation

Vani Bhojan showed innovation

Vani Bhojan, who came from the small screen to the silver screen, has been acting in soft female roles for so long. Through this series, she has shown innovation in her choice of character, and she has not left behind in his performance. The series has many stars like Kalaiyarasan, Vani Bhojan, Pawan, Sarath Lokithaswa, and Viji Chandrasekhar. According to their tasks, everyone gets an equal amount of screen time. Each of them performed their parts flawlessly.

The twists are not sufficiently satisfying

The twists are not sufficiently satisfying

This is Tamil cinema’s first full-length political drama series. The filmmaker deserves praise for saying clearly how much authority and status are addictive to those in position. Some of the twists in the story were unexpected and many were already expected, so it seems that the story could have some more interesting twists. Fans of the filmmaker are becoming more and more impressed by the way director portrays Tamil Nadu politics, particularly the local politics taking place in the Virudhunagar District Municipality.

On the whole, if you watch with a little patience, the Sengalam series will stop before your eyes the political events that took place in our town in the last 30 years.

Pathu Thala review: Magic without logic

Pathu Thala review: Magic without logic

Pathu Thala, which was helmed by Krishna and featured Simbu’s performance in the midst of high anticipation, is fully reviewed here.

Pathu Thala Storyline:

Pathu Thala Storyline:

Arunmozhi (Santhosh Pratap), the son-in-law of AGR Ravana (Simbu) who secretly manipulates the politics of Tamil Nadu, marries AGR’s younger sister and becomes the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Due to this, Nanchilar Gunasekaran’s (Gautham Menon) dream of becoming the chief minister, who has been desiring the post for several days, is ruined.

One night Chief Minister Arunmozhi is kidnapped and killed. Who killed him? Why was he killed? Shakti (Gautham Karthik), an undercover cop known as Guna, enters the AGR Fort as an accomplice. Do they understand the reason for the murder? What happened to Simbu-Gautham Karthik is the subject of the remaining portion of the movie.

Who is Obeli Krishna, the director?

Who is Obeli Krishna, the director?

Obeli N. Krishna has directed the films Jillunu Oru Kaadhal and Nedunchalai and now has shown Simbu as a gangster. STR supporters have been blowing trumpets to celebrate the attention afforded to Simbu. The romance between Priya Bhavani and Gautham Karthik in the movie is unsatisfactory. Simbu’s feelings for his younger sibling Anu Sithara may have been a little less dramatic than usual.

What actions have the players in Pathu Thala taken?

Simbu, the unstoppable AGR Ravana from Pathu Thala, has behaved in accordance with his discourse “Kettavanku ketavan nallavanku nallavan.”(Bad to bad, good to good). Although Robin Hood-like characters have appeared in recent movies, Simbu has never attempted to create one. It could be said that Simbu, who attempted to emulate his father’s younger sibling’s feelings, failed.

What actions have the players in Pathu Thala taken?

Gautham Karthik had the greatest result after Simbu. His breakout movie will be Pathu Thala. He’s mastered the part that was assigned to him. The character of the antagonist was portrayed by actor Gautham Vasudev Menon, who is currently in the acting field. He opposes the hero in the tale, and his role is a key one.

By becoming a legitimate Tahsildar rather than just a performance or scenario, Priya Bhavani Shankar has advanced in acting. Simbu’s younger sister was portrayed by Anu Sithara, Selvina by DJ Arunachalam, Ameer by Kalaiyarasan, Arunmozhi by Santhosh Pratap, Singha by Madhu Gurusamy, and Poongunran by Senrayan. All of these actors provided the required acts for the narrative.

The adorable humor of Redin Kingsley as Guttappare made people chuckle. Also, Saisha’s dance to a song is a bit artificial. Manushyaputran has given a mature performance in his debut film.

Has the BGM of ARR had an impact?

Has the bgm of ARR had an impact?

The Namma Chatham song is excellent after the Osaratum Pathu Thala number in the movie. Random English BGM is completely inappropriate for the movie. The BGM for the remaining tracks is decent.

Can we watch the movie in a theatre?

Can we watch the movie in a theatre?

The film shows the beauty of Kanyakumari and the latest political events here and there and does not stifle its opinions. Of course, there is a difference in performance between Muthuveeran in Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu and AGR in Pathu Thala.

If someone wishes to betray the people who supported him, AGR will murder them. So who did he kill and why did he kill that is the one line of Pathu Thala movie. How is it fair to kill the fans in some scenes for that?

Has director Krishna made the film keeping only Simbu fans in mind? However, Simbu fans were in silent mode in many scenes. Mainly Simbu often arrives in a helicopter and lands and flies back. But where is he going and why the helicopter footage? is itself an enigma.
Overall, it is something that Simbu fans can enjoy.

Viduthalai Part 1 Review: something never before seen in Indian film…

Viduthalai Part 1 Review: something never before seen in Indian film

The film Viduthalai Part 1, directed by Vetrimaaran, has been released in theaters today. The primary protagonist in this movie was portrayed by actor Soori. He shared the screen with Vijay Sethupathi, Prakash Raj, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Bhavanisree, and Rajiv Menon.

The short tale Thunaivan by author Jeyamohan served as the inspiration for the movie. Ilayaraja composed the film’s musical score. Velraj fatally shot the movie, and RS Infotainment produced it. This 2-part movie’s first part is now available. Fans are reviewing this movie in a variety of ways.

Viduthalai

Here, The Viduthalai Part 1 Review you to read…

What is the story of Viduthalai Part 1?

The government is planning to build a mine in the hill village of Arumapuri. But an organization called People’s Force led by Perumal Vathiyar (Vijay Sethupathi) takes up arms and fights against the mine. Kumaresan (Soori) works as a driver in the police team that goes to arrest Vijay Sethupathi, the leader of the organization. Soori is given a memo by his superior Chetan, who is accused of disobeying his superior’s orders.

Viduthalai
Soori’s relationship with the mountain woman Bhavani Sri develops in the meantime. He eventually learns the location of Vijay Sethupathi and other members of the People’s force in secret. The entire hamlet was being detained by the special police forces, who were torturing them while attempting to apprehend Vijay Sethupathi. Additionally, Soori’s partner is entangled in it.

To save the love of his life and some village females, Soori chooses to turn on Vijay Sethupathi. Was his partner then saved by Soori? Is it not? Are they able to capture Vijay Sethupathi? Is it not? What happened to Soori, who struggles to stay on task without giving up himself? What is the relationship between Soori and Vijay Sethupathi in the rest of the story of the film? That is the first portion of the movie’s narrative.

The primary protagonist Soori

Viduthalai

Everyone was shocked to learn that Soori would be portraying the lead in the movie Vetrimaaran when the official information was made. To make up for it, Soori did this figure credit. Soori, who portrays the police, gives an outstanding performance. By displaying his sympathetic performance in various locations, sad facial expressions, and his powerful character of battling for justice with the authorities in any circumstance, he has drawn the attention of admirers.

Soori is currently playing the part of Kumaresan, which will be his lifelong role. In instances where he defies the commands of his supervisors and maintains his character, Soori, who joins the police force as an assistant, performs brilliantly.

Vijay Sethupathi vs Soori:

Viduthalai

Even though there are only a few moments, actor Vijay Sethupathi, who portrays the movement’s leader, gets the audience to go wild. His on-screen performance has improved the movie. As usual, Gautham Vasudev Menon, who portrays the character of DSP, attracted attention with his signature performance.

Vijay Sethupathi has fewer scenes in the first part. He might make more appearances in subsequent parts. But he did a great job. Soori is seen in more scenes than Vijay Sethupathi. The role played by Vijay Sethupathi is a minor one.

The story flowed with the music

Viduthalai

After an extended break, musician Ilayaraja has once again demonstrated with excellent tracks and top-notch background music why he is the master of music. Our hearing is caressed by his sensual melodies. He created brand-new music specifically for this film.

Credit in large part to the background music by Ilayaraja, Vetrimaran’s pictures successfully transport the viewer to the emotions portrayed in them. The screenplay’s development is mirrored in the music. He also added great background music, which put life into the movie.

You will be wounded by the film

Even though the first half of the movie drags, the second half’s sequences leave us in shock. Some areas were inaccessible to us. However, every element is essential to the overall composition. Vetrimaran filmed the film in such an original way. The most impressive aspect of this movie is the work of the cinematographer Velraj. The mountain hamlet where the tale is set can be felt clearly through his camera.

Viduthalai

The movie’s opening “7-minute single shot” unquestionably elevated it to a higher dimension. The brutality against women in the community in the second half of the movie broke your heart.

Even though he was exhausted at some points throughout the screenplay, Vetrimaran gave the dialogues to the extent of clapping and whistles in the theater, once again illustrating the real world under the control of the government and the police, such as the atrocities committed by the government against the common people and the atrocities committed by the police officers from the special police force.

Since this is the first part of the Viduthalai, the director Vetrimaran concluded the movie by introducing the moviegoers to the basic plot of the story, getting them ready for the next installment, and increasing anticipation for the sequel.

The surprise win for Vampire Survivors over the heavily favored God of War: Ragnarok for Best Game has sparked speculation about what this might mean for the gaming industry. Could it be a sign of a new trend in gaming, or simply a one-off? Only time will tell.

Tunic won Best Debut Game and its creators were ecstatic. The award was presented by Inbetweeners star and YouTuber James Buckley, who said โ€œone of the amazing things about gaming is the ability to share your experience with others.โ€

Shuhei Yoshieida was awarded the BAFTA Fellowship Award for his work in the gaming industry. Yoshieida said โ€œevery advancement of technology turns it into a tool for developers to create amazing things. So developers dream, because their next game could change the face of the industry forever. And I cannot wait.โ€

Top 10 Best Science Fiction Movies of All Time

Aliens, robots, outer space, future Earth, time travel, finely asked questions about humanity’s position within the vast cosmic vacuum – science fiction is about the intimacy of discovery and the enormity of ideas.
Here in the list, you can find the Top 10 Best Science Fiction Movies of All Time.

1. Blade Runner (1982)

Blade Runner (1982)

This film, directed by Ridley Scott, is regarded as a genre masterpiece, with an aesthetically stunning portrayal of a dystopian future. In the 19 years since its debut, Blade Runner has become a legendary classic. It’s easy to see why. The film has a disjointed, postmodern plot that is surrounded by outstanding cinematography and set design. Above all, Blade Runner foreshadows our own world’s near future, a future of cloning and unnaturally made people. Science fiction has always been capable of depicting pictures of ourselves or our world in a future or extraterrestrial world that we would rather not see.

2. The Matrix (1999)

The Matrix (1999)

The Wachowskis wrote and produced The Matrix, a 1999 science fiction action thriller. Thomas A. Anderson is a guy with two personalities. He works as an ordinary computer coder during the day and as Neo, a hacker at night. Neo has always doubted his reality, but the truth is far beyond his wildest dreams. When Morpheus, a famous computer hacker labeled a terrorist by the government, contacts Neo, he finds himself on the radar of the authorities.

3. Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977)

The original Star Wars movie, directed by George Lucas, introduced audiences to a world of Jedi knights, the force, and a battle between good and evil.

Under instructions from the ruthless Darth Vader, the Imperial Forces hold Princess Leia captive in their attempts to suppress the uprising against the Galactic Empire.

4. The Terminator (1984)

The Terminator (1984)

This James Cameron-directed film stars a time-traveling robotic murderer and a resistance warrior who must safeguard the future. A human fighter is dispatched from 2029 to 1984 to halt an almost invincible cyborg killing machine that has been designed to execute a young lady whose unborn boy is the key to humanity’s future redemption.

5. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

This film, directed by Steven Spielberg, is a heartwarming tale about a young child who meets an alien trapped on Earth. When a gentle alien becomes trapped on Earth, he is found and welcomed by Elliott, a 10-year-old child. Elliott brings E.T. into his suburban California home and presents him to his brother, Michael, and sister, Gertie, who resolve to keep his presence a secret. However, he soon becomes sick, necessitating government involvement and a perilous situation for both him and Elliott.

6. Inception (2010)

Inception (2010)

Directed by Christopher Nolan, this movie explores the concept of dreams within dreams and is a thrilling ride through a world of shifting realities. Christopher Nolan dominated the decade with a string of blockbusters, beginning the decade with one of his finest films. The idea of dream-sharing was novel and brilliantly implemented. The film was extremely fast-paced and action-packed, and it demanded and ultimately rewarded complete concentration. This is one of the most rewatchable films ever produced, and it has matured beautifully. Hans Zimmer deserved to be recognized for this because the music complemented the picture so well.

7. Interstellar (2014)

Interstellar (2014)

This film, directed by Christopher Nolan, is a visual feast set in a future in which humankind must locate a new home among the stars. Director Christopher Nolan portrays the world’s problems in the future in stunning detail. This film is a journey that begins on Earth and advances across the cosmos before diving deep into it. In every period and time, the tale remains timeless. This story is fascinating, and you can sense every feeling in it. The script is fantastic and keeps you captivated until the very end, leaving you wondering, “Oh man, why is it over?”.

8. War of the Worlds (2005)

War of the Worlds (2005)

War of the Worlds, directed by Steven Spielberg, is a remarkable retelling of the famous HG Wells story. It provides magnificent action scenes and stunning visuals with Spielbergian grandeur. The story is engaging because it is recounted from the viewpoint of “every man.” There are no Generals shifting troops around in dark chambers – this is an extraterrestrial assault in miniature – one guy and his family fight to live. As a result, the film effectively avoids many of the genre’s typical clichรฉs.

9. Jurassic Park (1993)

10. The Hunger Games (2012)

The Hunger Games (2012)

0
Reality of Casting Couch: The term โ€˜casting couchโ€™ has been around for a while and unfortunately has become a reality in the film industry. Even though discussions related to casting couch are usually associated with female actors, it is important to note that male actors too have faced exploitation at the hands of those in power in order to get a chance in the film industry.

Shiv Thackerayโ€™s Experience

Shiv Thackeray, who rose to fame through Bigg Boss 16, recently opened up about facing casting couch. During this, Shiv shared his experience of exploitation and said that at the beginning of his career, a casting director had called him to a massage center, falsely claiming it to be for an audition. Not only this, Shiv said that after coming to Mumbai, he realized that not only girls, but also boys are scared of poachers here.

In an interview given to Hindustan Times, Shiv said that he recalled the experience related to casting couch and said that he once went to Aram Nagar to give an audition. The casting director present there took him to the bathroom and asked him to come to the massage center after the audition.

Shiv shared another experience related to casting couch when a lady called him for audition at 11 pm. He said that a Madam in Four Bungalows used to call him and said that she had made her career.

Ravi Kishanโ€™s Story

Veteran star of Bhojpuri films and MP from Gorakhpur, Ravi Kishan Shukla, has said that he has also been a victim of ‘casting couch’. He said that he was called for a cup of coffee one day and he realized that the lady was giving him a hint.

Ayushmannโ€™s Experience

Ayushmann Khurrana also faced casting couch. Talking to Pinkvilla about casting couch, Ayushmann Khurrana revealed that he too had to face it in the initial stages. Ayushmann said that a casting director made such a demand in lieu of the lead role which made him uncomfortable.

Ranveer Singhโ€™s Story

Ranveer Singh, who had a string of hits, also experienced the casting couch. He revealed that a producer had asked him to be “smart and sexy”.

Imran Nazir Khanโ€™s Narrative

Imran Nazir Khan, a well-known figure from the TV series ‘Maddam Sir’, has shared his experience of this and warned aspiring actors about the potential risks. He urged them to stay away from such scenarios in order to further their careers. The actor said that coordinators and casting directors told him that they would give him a good job if he got intimate with them.

Shakti Kapoorโ€™s Revelations

The term came into limelight in the media in 2005 when Shakti Kapoor was caught on camera trying to sexually take advantage of a girl in exchange for roles in films in a sting operation in 2005. Shakti Kapoor’s involvement in multiple casting couch controversies led to a sort of ban in the film industry. However, he later revealed that many of the successful actresses today had to resort to such favors to get to where they are. Despite this, the issue of casting couch could not be completely eradicated.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it can be said that ‘casting couch’ is a reality in the film industry. Not only heroines, but also male actors like Ravi Kishan, Ayushmann, Ranveer Singh are also under the shadow of casting couch. People reached heights only after giving favor, while boys like Imran Nazir Khan had to use pepper spray and deo to avoid sexual harassment. Auditions should be taken on the basis of talent and merit, not on the basis of favor.
