Kanguva – A Tale of Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda
As years go by, Kanguva will be studied as how not to make an epic-scale movie without having the conviction to believe in your vision.

Amaran: There Lived a Man…
As I read in some review, Amaran feels more like Vaaranam Aayiram than Vishwaroopam, and that explains a lot, I guess.

The Zone of Interest and
The Banality of EvilWhen one of the greatest cinematic intercuts happens at the end ofThe Zone of Interest, we are left to ponder on our own banalities of evil.
Whenever Thiruselvan says Amudha ‘நாங்க உன்னத் தத்து எடுக்கல, நீ தான் எங்கள தத்து எடுத்த!’ (We didn’t adopt you, you adopted us!) in Mani Ratnam’s Kannathil Muthamittal (2002), I remember cinema is not just a medium of entertainment.
It mirrors life. It makes us feel things. Apart from above mentioned moments, many moments of cinema move me, you and a whole lot of others. When I wanted to use a medium to share my love for cinema, I chose to go with words. Yes, words won’t do complete justice to capture the feelings, ups and downs of medium that is visually supreme. But I try to do my best. I think that’s what life is all about. That’s what zigarthanda is all about. Hope you have a good time reading surfing zigarthanda.
