Vendhu Thaninthadhu Kaadu was like watching Premam where the different phases of the protagonist are showcased through struggles and gangsters instead of romance and relationships. I wish even those tiny bits of romance were reduced further because of an ineffective heroine character and the weaker chemistry.

Another crucifixion-resurrection story told in a trippiest way after Trance that released in early 2020, starring Fahadh Faasil which also had a resurrection angle told with psychedelic visuals. Well,Continue reading “Nenjam Marapathillai – Psychedelic resurrection of Selva ( or Satanic Tamasha )”
