Parts of Malayalam actor Joju George’s Pani are so powerful that you want more of that. Instead, you get large sections of namby-pamby filmmaking, hectoring the very forces that navigate the film somewhere close to meritoriousness, only to pull the proceedings into a morass of mediocrity.

Welcome to Thrissur the hamlet town in Kerala where, if we are to believe writer-director-actor Joju George, gangwars govern the city’s profile. If I were the Mayor of Thrissur I would worry about tourism. The film, powerful in parts, portrays Thrissur as infested with mobocracy and mayhem.

As the film opens with impressive ruggedness, two criminal drifters Don Sebas (Sagar Surya) and Siju (Junaiz VP) carry out an assassination in a crowded locality, pretend to be eyewitnesses to the crime, and then saunter into a supermarket where they misbehave with Gowri (Abhinaya) not knowing that she the lawfully wedded wife of one...

Mark Antony, the sci-fi action thriller starring Vishal and Sj Suryah, is all set to make its digital debut on Amazon Prime Video. The film, which was released in theatres on September 15, 2023, has received highly positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. The film revolves around Mark, who finds a telephone with the power to manipulate time and alter history and tries to bring back his father Antony alive.

The film is directed by Adhik Ravichandran and also features Ritu Varma, Selvaraghavan, Sunil and Abhinaya in pivotal roles. The film has been praised for its unique and intriguing plot, stunning visuals, gripping background score by Gv Prakash Kumar and stellar performances by the lead actors. Vishal plays the role of Mark, a young gangster who travels back in time to save his father Antony, played by Sj Suryah, from being killed by his rivals. The film explores the themes of love,...

ReviewLokesh manages to weave in a lot of diversity among the characters – that of gender, class, caste, disability, religion – and not in a ‘tick-all-the-boxes’ way. N4 / ScreengrabLokesh Kumar’s N4 is set in Kasimedu, a hamlet in North Chennai that’s a major hub for fishing in the city. Appropriately, the film opens with a title song that captures life in the area, with visuals of beautiful silver fish being sold in the bustling market. What’s immediately arresting about the casting – at least to me – is the dusky skinned women actors playing the lead. How rare is it to see that in mainstream Tamil cinema, where the usual practice is to either cast pale-skinned women or brownface them in an attempt to make them suit a role. Vinusha Devi and Gabriella Sellus play Abhinaya and Soundarya, sisters in an unconventional family that has come together through a tragedy. They...

AccidentThe 45-year-old actor took to twitter to share his near-death experience on Wednesday, February 22. Twitter/VishalKOfficialTamil film actor and producer, Vishal Krishna Reddy, narrowly escaped a terrible accident while filming a scene for his upcoming movie Mark Anthony, as a truck swerved out of control and headed straight towards him. The 45-year-old actor took to twitter to share his near-death experience on Wednesday, February 22. “Just missed my life in a matter of a few seconds and a few inches, Thanks to the Almighty . Numb to this incident back on my feet and back to shoot, Gb,” the actor posted along with a video.

Chennai, Feb 23 (Ians) Tamil actor Vishal had a miraculous escape from a near-death situation during the shooting of his movie ‘Mark Antony’.

It happened when a truck on the sets lost stability and advanced towards the actor and his co-actors. The huge truck was on the brink of crashing into the place where the actors, including Vishal, were stationed. Fortunately, each one of them escaped unscathed.

According to the plan, the truck was to hit a wall and then stop, but the wall collapsed and the truck apparently lost control and advanced towards the area where the artistes were stationed.

Vishal said in his tweet: “Just saved my life in a matter of few seconds and a few inches, thanks to the Almighty. Numb after this incident. Back on my feet and back to the shoot.”

The movie directed by Adhik Ravichandran has Sj Surya playing a stellar role, the...

Movie: "Veeram"; Cast: Ajith Kumar, Tamannah Bhatia, Vidharth, Suhail Chandhok, Nassar, Santhanam, Pradeep Rawat, Ramesh Khanna, Abhinaya, Manochitra, Vidyullekha Raman, Devadarshini and Atul Kulkarni; Director: Siva; Rating: **1/2

In a constant effort to churn out a commercially successful product, our filmmakers completely ignore the fact that entertainment is not about hero-worshiping.

"Veeram" is a classic example, which elevates Ajith and leaves the rest of the ensemble cast behind. It's a pity to see talented actors merely reduced to a few scenes while the newcomers hardly have any presence. The film is dedicated to Ajith,.
