'With passage of time, Kamal did move away from the humdrum of commercial cinema, using it only as a peg to launch a new concept or new technology, as no other actor/film-maker has done in Indian cinema.' N Sathiya Moorthy assesses the career and politics of movie legend Kamal Haasan on his 70th brthday.
Vallamai Tharayo, the Tamil film from Giriguja Films' starring Parthiban and Chaya Singh, tries to re-create Mani Rathnam's magic but fails miserably.
Watch Amma Creations' Vazhthukkal only if you're madly, crazily in love -- even then, life inside a greeting card can get tedious.
Mani Ratnam is experimenting with a real-life historical in Ponniyin Selvan, points out N Sathiya Moorthy.
Tamil film Kaaviya Thalaivan is a thoroughly enjoyable experience, says S Saraswathi.
Rajinikanth and Kamalahaasan's new generation movies of the twenty-first century may make bigger money than their earlier films but leave behind a lesser impact. That would make the difference between their success and failure as politicians, says N Sathiya Moorthy.
