Here are our picks.Malayalam films are known for keeping stories realistic on screen. The same also reflects when it comes to portraying romantic love. Though not all of it is free from problematic stereotypes, there are many romances that have poignantly questioned the status quo and have been celebrated. How about the ones that took the turbulent, unconventional path to reach fruition in love? We give you our picks, this Valentine’s Day. Akbar and Ameer (Moothon) The most poignant stretch in Geethu Mohandas’s otherwise generic gangster film comes when Aamir enters the frame. As Akbar slashes his body with a knife, flagging himself as part of a ritual (Kuthu Ratheeb), Ameer, the gorgeous young man, cannot take his eyes off him. Even when Akbar...

CinemaFeaturing an ensemble cast of Mohanlal, Mammootty, Seema and Shobhana, the 1985 Malayalam film is a commentary on parenting, caste hypocrisies and more. Neelima MenonYouTube /Movie ReelsThe setting is quintessentially Mt — in the backdrop of a nondescript village/town in central Kerala, where men, women and children speak in a prominent Valluvanadan dialect. They live inside massive nalukettus, or unassuming square-shaped homes with spacious front yards and verandahs. Kitchens have black oxidised floors, stained smoke walls, pantries made of stone slabs and large wood-fired stoves. Houses are snugly lined next to each other with just a bamboo fence separating them. Children play all day, and are rarely shut inside their homes. Written by Mt Vasudevan Nair and directed by IV Sasi, the two leading characters in Anubandham (1985) are neighbours — Sunanda (Seema), who is a widow and has a son, and Vijayalakshmi (Shobhana), who lives with her husband Bhaskaran (Mohanlal) and son.

Spbsp Balasubrahmanyam’s distinct voice has been an inevitable part of the childhood of scores of people across India and the world.Megha KaveriFor many of us who were born in the 1980s and 1990s — christened on the Indian internet as ‘80s kids’ and ‘90s kids’ — Sp Balasubrahmanyam (lovingly called Spb) was a point of bonding between us and our parents.

Stand-up comedyNow on Amazon Prime, the show is original in its conception and is a treat for those who grew up listening to Tamil film music in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Sowmya RajendranThere is such singular pleasure in watching someone indulge in an activity that they're so passionate about, their enthusiasm sweeps you off your feet. Alex in Wonderland, an Amazon Prime special from Chennai-based stand-up comedian Alexander Babu (known mostly as Alex), is one such experience. It’s hard to define the show – it is a mix of comedy, messaging and music, plenty of music. Much like a well-made mainstream masala Tamil film. The show opens with a vignette of Alex’s childhood and growing up years, tracing his journey from Ramanathapuram to Chennai, the Us and Chennai once again, as the comedian lost and finally found himself at 40. Fittingly, the iconic red Chevrolet Impala with the number plate...

KollywoodIn the Tamil social psyche, May Day holds an indelible place by way of songs and movies.Kavitha MuralidharanTamil Nadu shares a cherished link with May Day and its history. In 1923, it was in Chennai that May Day was first celebrated in India – led by veteran communist leader Singaravelar. But the bond goes beyond such unionist measures. In the Tamil social psyche, May Day holds an indelible place by way of songs and movies. Writer and scholar Stalin Rajangam points out that in Tamil cinema, the songs around May Day, on labour and its issues, are far more in number than other celebratory songs, including those meant for festivals like Deepavali and Pongal, or say New Year. “It started with lyricists like Patukottai Kalyanasundaram and Udumalai Narayana Kavi who wrote songs in the 1950s. Bharathidasan’s songs were also used in some films. But it was not until the 1980s...

Flix Flashback'Thiruda Thiruda' is among the most underrated of Mani Ratnam's works so far.Nandhu SundaramThiruda Thiruda (1993) Cast: Anand, Prasanth, Heera, Anu Agarwal, Salim Ghouse, Spb, Malaysia Vasudevan Director: Mani Ratnam It was only Ar Rahman’s second year in creating film music. It’s hard to see it now, but he had just established that he was not a one-hit wonder. There was a certain euphoria surrounding his music and I had bought every album leading up to 1993’s Thiruda Thiruda (Thief! Thief!). There was a while to go before the film’s release and I was incessantly listening to the album, not quite making out the lyrics or the complex, layered instrumentation. It was as if you had to learn the album before getting down to actually enjoying it. But a couple of weeks into the listening, it was not just me but my entire family that had was hooked. We were all enamoured by what we considered the album’s centrepiece -- Anupama’s rendition of ‘Chandralekha’ with its high-pitched notes, clashing drums and frenzied chorus. I was convinced that Rahman had quite improbably created at least his second masterpiece after 1992’s Roja. Back then, you could always decide on a movie by what your friends and family told you about it. I swallowed the movie hook, line and sinker and was delirious in praising it, but there were murmurs of dissent among my friends who had quarrels with the movie’s unlikely plotting and ludicrous storyline. I saw it as a tale of fantasy while they pointed out that the movie had almost totally departed from reality. In any case, it was clear to everyone that director Mani Ratnam, at the peak of his powers, had broken fresh ground yet again. Thiruda Thiruda was the improbable meat in the sandwich, coming as it did between Roja and Bombay (1995), the two movies when taken together form the core of Mani Ratnam’s reputation even today. While these two movies talked about terrorism and communalism, issues that continue to plague India, Tt was an excursion into the wilderness, plausibility be damned. There was really no message here, no issue to talk about, just pure fun to be had. It was a heist movie with strong comedic elements and it pushed buttons in you that you never knew existed before. The plot goes wild - Rs 1,000 crore in fresh currency printed at Nasik is stolen by the henchmen of the villain, Vikram (a bleary-eyed Salim Ghouse), as it is in transit on a train. With Parliament to meet in 10 days, a desperate government turns to its best man in the Cbi, Lakshminarayanan (Spb, in one his best roles as a cop), to recover the amount. “There are 10 zeroes in Rs 1,000 crore and I have 10 days to bring the crooks to book. It can be done, sir,” says Spb in the Brahmin dialect. The line is obviously funny, but Mani Ratnam is doing something on the sly -- he is pushing his fantasy agenda into the storyline. After that point, exhilarating as it is for us to see how Vikram is caught, we know that the emphasis will always be on entertainment. It is how well the ride is done, you see. This is precisely why Tt failed to get into the good books of some critics. Many of them, who heaped praises on Mani Ratnam’s more serious movies (especially the terrorism trilogy) failed to appreciate the adventurous spirit of Tt. And, the film remains, much to my dismay, among the most underrated of Mani Ratnam’s works. The investigation into the heist leads Lakshminarayanan to Vikram’s pointman, Ashok, played by Ajay Ratnam in one of his early roles. To avoid capture, Ashok mails a computer access card required to open the container with the money to Chandralekha (Anu Agarwal debuting in Tamil cinema). On the run, Chandralekha gets involved with two petty thieves, the Thiruda Thiruda in the movie played by Prasanth and Anand, who are also on the lam. Towing along with the two thieves is Rasathi (Heera), who is fleeing a ruthless uncle. The four keep dumping and double-crossing each other until the money brings them together. Treachery takes precedence over trust in the relationship between the protagonists. The characters of Azhagu and Kathir are the perfect foil for each other, but the woman in their midst spells trouble for both of them, until in the end they decide to become friends. Prasanth used to be the chocolate boy of Tamil cinema during the 1990s and he plays a variation of that stereotype in portraying Azhagu. Watching over him with the demeanour of an older brother is the sharper Kathir, played by Anand in his most plum role ever. And, thus we get a romantic tangle: Rasathi falls in love with the sensitive Kathir, who realises with a shock that Azhagu is love with her. The scene in which Rasathi tells Azhagu that she is not his “Thangachi” (younger sister) starts a playful romance between the two. But the director quite clearly wants to steer us into the comedy-caper territory. Heera appeared only in a handful of successful movies in the 1990s including Kadhal Kottai and Sathileelavathi. In both of those movies, she was the other woman. In Tt though, she is cast against type -- her character, Rasathi, is smart, but not amoral. When her uncle wants to marry her, she flees with the thieves trying to steal from her own house. Anu Agarwal had in 1990 made a stunning debut in the Hindi film, Aashiqui, making her an automatic choice for the role of Chandralekha in Tt. Endlessly resourceful, her character is often resigned to watching the machinations between the others in the film with a bemused expression. Though she dresses like a lady, she is really not one. And, because of that, Azhagu has a little crush on her. Some of the familiar tropes of Mani Ratnam movies are here: The camera that circles the subjects, horses that preposterously are found in a landlord’s stable and several sequences involving trains. The circling camera is prominent in the scene when Rasathi tells Kathir of her love and when Kathir responds by informing her of Azhagu’s love of her. In another scene, Rasathi questions Kathir, asking if he never had a chance to reform his ways and the answer is a monosyllabic ‘no’. A pure Mani Ratnam moment if there ever was one. The sequence involving the horses, during which our heroes make a getaway in tow with Rasathi, is underlined with a dramatic score by Ar Rahman. This gives us, quite strangely, the impression that Mani Ratnam was limited by available technology in mounting the stunt sequence. The shots are often framed by cinematographer PC Sreeram against light, which is by no means unusual for a Mani Ratnam film; the director practically invented the usage in Tamil cinema. But what is really unmissable is the use of filters in cameras on a scale not seen before in Tamil cinema. Towards the climax, there is a brief sequence involving flashing lights on top of a train, which is a depressing and trite cliché considering that this director-cinematographer team did the same in Agni Natchathiram (Coppola uses this trope to great effect in Godfather). Or perhaps Mani Ratnam was making references to his own movies. The dialogues are crackling with Suhasini, Mani Ratnam’s wife, entrusted with the task of providing the director’s peculiar touch to the conversations in the film. The late writer Sujatha, who also pitched in with his lines, was at his wittiest and his contribution to this movie cannot be underestimated. Malaysia Vasudevan plays constable Santhosam, who finds himself assisting the Cbi in nabbing the thieves. The two predominant male singers of the era -- Malaysia Vasudevan and Spb -- are part of the cast, and what’s more, both of them are cops. The picturisation of the songs is a quantum leap in Tamil cinema. The choreography was done by Sundaram, Raju Sundaram and Prabhu Deva. Suresh Urs’ work in the film won him the Best Editor Tamil Nadu State Award. Ar Rahman marks his presence in the background score as well. The computer card, for instance, has its own theme, and so does the villain, Vikram. The supporting cast also includes SS Chandran (at his hilarious best) and Madan Bob in a blink and miss role. One of the scenes I really enjoyed comes when Azhagu and Kathir watch a village meeting from a distance. As the village discusses the thorny issue of the recent spate of robberies, the duo is making their minds up on whom to rob. “I can’t decide whom to rob,” Azhagu confesses. “Look who has the most rings on their fingers. Watch whom the Valliyur Singari is seducing,” says Kathir. “Valliyur Singari is here? Where?” exclaims an excited Azhagu and has to be restrained from giving up their hiding spot. There is no shortage of chase sequences in the movie. After the thieving duo meets Chandralekha (Anu Aggarwal) and fall hard for her, there is a pretty lengthy chase sequence. At one point, the main cast tries to escape from the Cbi (ABC, as called by a horse-and-cart rider) even as the officials chase them in ambassador cars. When Kathir asks if the horse will go any faster, pat comes the reply: “Only if you give ganja”. Kathir raises the puzzling question if the marijuana is for the horse or the rider. It is hard not to get the humour and fun in this sequence, but trust me, such stuff is rarely done is popular Tamil cinema. Mani Ratnam, who was just 37 when Tt was released, showed an admirable sense of adventure in making the movie, infusing it with a remarkable pace and energy. This is quite evident in the picturaisation of the song sequences. If this doesn’t sent your pulse racing, you should probably march yourself to the hospital for there is something wrong with your soul. The contrast between the titular Kathir-Azhagu duo is very different from Vikram’s agenda to wreck the nation. The small-time thieves are out for fun along with earning a meal, but Vikram is just pure evil. This is the most adventurous of Mani Ratnam’s movies. He wasn’t playing it safe as his wiser self is doing today. It is a bit like watching Tendulkar before he ever hit a ton and that kind of zing is worth revisiting.

TeaserThe new teaser of the much-awaited film 'Odiyan' shows Mohanlal in a new avatar. Tnm Staff Odiyan_750X500.jpgA few weeks ago, actor Mohanlal had promised to unveil his character Manickan in the much-awaited Malayalam film Odiyan. On Wednesday, the actor shared a teaser that gives us a peek into the life of Manickan's younger self. Sharing the teaser on social media, Mohanlal wrote: "Odiyan Teaser. Unveiling the transition of #Odiyan Manickan. Presenting to you the young and vibrant Manickan in me who travelled back in time." While the poster of the film released a few months ago showed a younger and muscular Mohanlal dressed in a sleeveless shirt as Manickan, the new teaser gives us more than a glimpse of who he is. Dressed in a mundu and a sleeveless shirt, this time Manickan is seen wearing a white shawl over his shoulders, with betel leaves in hand. Pulling off a clean shaven look, Manickan wears a neck chain with a giant pendant. "Gratitude to time, for being able to defeat so many years. For bringing me back to Thenkurissi, to a time that was much eventful in my life. Odiyan Manickan is ready. The game will now begin," Manickan says, munching on the betel leaves. "Shall we start then?" he adds. The 1 minute 44 seconds teaser has broken the internet. Mohanlal has reportedly shed at least 15 kg to pull off this look. Odiyan is expected to hit the theatres in 2018 and ever since the shoot began, the makers of the film have been releasing promotional videos to keep the audience posted about the journey. According to the film's director Shrikumar Menon, Odiyan is an athlete, who can see and crawl in the dark, no matter how rough the surface is. In the film, Mohanlal will be seen portraying several stages of Manickan's life, spanning across decades. The story is set from 1950 to 2000 and all efforts are being taken to ensure the era is captured well on camera. Peter Hein, the popular Hollywood stunt master, is choreographing the stunt sequences for the film. It may be mentioned here that Peter Hein had worked with Mohanlal in Pulimurugan, which went on to become a huge hit, and they share a good rapport. Odiyan will be dealing with the age-old black magic known as Odividya, revealed the film’s director. Sharing screen space with Mohanlal in the movie would be Manju Warrier. And Prakash Raj, who had worked with Mohanlal in the critically acclaimed movie Iruvar, directed by Mani Ratnam, will be playing a deadly villain. To be produced by Anthony Perumbavoor under his banner Aashirvad Cinemas, the film is expected to hit the marquee sometime in 2018. The film is scripted by the National Award winner Hari Krishnan. It may be mentioned here that Mohanlal and Shrikumar Menon are also teaming up for the historical film Randamoozham, based on the Mt Vasudevan Nair novel of the same name. #Odiyan Teaser.
