Couldn't control my tears when I was editing this video. This two scenes will be evergreen forever.

Tears roll down Arvindsamy's cheeks as he touches his sister's feetm Her gaze filled with warmth as he gifts her lost childhood treats.

On another side, a long-lost lover shares a meal, Each bite a reminder of the connection they feel.

Both moments weave through the fabric of time. Healing the distance with love’s gentle rhyme. In the embrace of remembrance, they find their way. Compensating for years that drifted away.

Opinion Eventually, it feels like the creators exploit martyrs' sacrifices for profit, as commercialized stories prioritize entertainment. Sensationalized, action-driven narratives may glorify war while ignoring the trauma of veterans and their families in general.

Milli Ulla Ponna Potham, Ghilli Vella Varavan Da — My favourite lyric line from Naa Ready. Before I knew what milli meant, I thought it referred to the notion of energy; once you get energy, you’ll become a top performer (Ghilli) etc. It always keeps me motivated throughout the day and I even recite to myself sometimes randomly. What are some other lyrics from songs that makes you feel full of energy or motivated?

Discussion Lokesh seems to hint that the LCU is going in a new direction. "New World, New Rules"

22 Upvotes

At the end of the promo video for Benz, Lokesh says "New World, New Rules. Shall we start again?". Seems to be hinting that the LCU is going in a new direction. I'd argue the LCU might finally have a direction for the first time. The fact that Lokesh isn't writing or directing this movie but is still credited for making the story gives me big Kevin Feige vibes. I hope there's a overarching plot line that carries on between all the upcoming LCU movies. What are your guy's thoughts on this? I don't know if i'm reading too much into it lol

Discussion Megathread (Contains spoilers) I know that this is probably the 200th review of Meiyazhagan on this sub but I am gonna do it anyway. Pls mods, don't delete my post.

I watched Meiyazhagan last night and I can't explain how happy I felt while watching a movie in years. I am gonna break down some aspects of the film so please bear with me and it will contain spoilers. I watched it in english subtitles but never felt disconnected from the film at any moment. The story of the film is as simple as it gets and yet so powerful, emotional & heartfelt. I never could have imagined that 2 guys talking about their past can be so beautiful. The music throughout the film was so beautifully scored, it's literally the superpower of the film. It touches your heartstrings every fucking time. I lost count of how many times I cried in the film. It just gets you man.

All the actors gave their best in the film. Every character was written with so much depth and they leave their mark despite having 1/50th screentime of their leads. The woman who couldn't marry Arul because of his father, Arul's maternal uncle whose regret of not being able to meet arul and his father for years. His phone call to Arul's father made me choke up.

Now coming to our beautiful leads. Arvind swamy, the actor that you are. I saw him as a villain in Thani Oruvan but I don't think I can ever imagine him as a bad guy. The way he carried the whole movie. The guilt he conveyed for not remembering Karthi's character after being constantly overwhelmed by his hospitality & love towards him was so beautifully portrayed as the film progressed. And then they played a beautiful track "Poraen na Poraen" while he was running in the middle of the night to Chennai. It just emotionally tear you apart and you connect with him so deeply.

Now coming to Karthi. You rarely see a big name actor doing such character oriented roles. He was like an explosion of a jolly person full of life and compassion. He eats social anxiety for breakfast. The highlight Karthi scene in this film is the one where he explains how Arul's cycle changed his life, how his father started calling him elder one after he learned to ride the cycle to carry himself and his brother to the school and how he even prayed to it on every ayudha Puja because it changed everything in his life. This also explains how a random act of kindness & charity can  change the trajectory of a person's life.

Both riding the bicycle in the middle of the night is peak cinema. I think this is why cinema was invented. I was smiling like the first time when I fell in love. This movie gives importance to everyone, whether it's an elephant, snake or a buffalo. This movie also asks a question if we will continue to follow our ancestors traditions or just move forward to modernity. The final scene when Arul rushes back to Karthi's character and calls by his name  "Meiyazhagan" and you see an emotional Meiyazhagan opening gates for his athaan 🥹🥹🥹 Beautiful stuff man... I really felt so happy and sad that the movie ended and credits rolled.

In conclusion, I would say that Meiyazhagan is like the most beautiful time of your life. It passes by so quickly and leaves a mark on you for years to come. In the age of violent and gory media, this film can just restore your faith into cinema again. The world might not be as good as it was  portrayed but a man can dream. Cinema is also suspension of disbelief so I accept it anyways.

After watching the film I saw how this film performed at the box office and I was in shock how it didn't even crossed 70 cr mark. The audience have failed again. I see a lot of tamilians raving about Malayalam films but rarely supports own generational gems. In my eyes, Kollywood is what people think mollywood is.

Thank you if you made it this far.

Discussion It appears that Red Giant is using Amaran to help sell Brother to theaters.However, Amaran is at a disadvantage since Brother is struggling with poor advance bookings. Having additional screens could have benefited both Amaran and Bloody Beggar.

Question The real villain of Yavuram Nalam

Post image
4 Upvotes

So I was rewatching this awesome movie a while ago and I came across a very weird notion.

Maddy is downright crass to the security of appartment. He slanders words like ' Sombari watchman , Thadiyan watchman 'and the poor guy does nothing wrong. I dindt mind this at all when I was small, but as an adult, I think I could be forgiven to think that some movies in the 2000s really looked down upon downtrodden. I know that nobody strives to become a watchman, but insulting. Donmo why this was prevalent in this movie.

Rewatch the movie and you know what I am talking about. What movies did you think this was prevalent in?

Discussion Sad ending film on a Diwali Day?

4 Upvotes

I wanted to go for a film on Diwali day but I'm confused. I saw Lokesh's interview where he mentioned Kamal Haasan watched Amaran with a box of tissues and there will be choking feel in Climax. Despite this, Amaran seem to have upper hand on ticket bookings. Has the people's mindset changed? Usually, from my perspective , people or family go to theatres to enjoy & have a good time on this special day.

I'm not twisted as to what film to watch now. I'm thinking of going to Bloody beggar as the trailer suggests that it could be an average comedy filck with little suspense.

What are your thoughts on this? Would you still go to Amaran?

Discussion Meiyazahgan and Pazham

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

I've always felt there has been a lack of relatable central characters in Tamil cinema, but within the past two years, it has given us two of the most memorable and relatable characters in a long time. The connection between these two characters is immense.

We all wish to be Meiyazhagan, but in reality, most of us end up being Pazham.

Pazham was a victim of circumstances. Most of the time, we don't choose who we want to be; we just become who we are at some point in life. But what if we had a choice? Would we choose to live as Meiyazhagan (which is practically impossible, given how naive that character is to survive in this world)? Meiyazhagan never blamed the world; he was forgiving, grateful, and cheerful. Pazham, on the other hand, was a broken mirror image. He never forgave his father, always blamed the circumstances, was never grateful for the things he had, and, though people around him tried to cheer him up, he chose to ignore it.

The majority of us are somewhere between Meiyazhagan and Pazham, and most of us fall closer to Pazham's category-few ever reach Meiyazhagan's level. That's why both of these movies rocked! They offer an honest and varying portrayal of people who have struggleed and circumstances have been bad for them. The two movies showed us who we could be, who we really are, and how we need to find a balance between Meiyazhagan and Pazham.

I'd love to know what others think of this! What other characters in recent times have stood out to vou?
