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.

Vaaranam Aayiram ft. Shreya
Time for some utopian thoughts. What if ‘Vaaranam Aayiram’ by Gautham Vasudev Menon was retold from Shreya’s point of view?⠀
Whenever Virumaandi cries in anguish over his dead grandmother for leaving him all alone in this world in Kamal Haasan’s Virumaandi (2004),
Whenever Krishnan says ‘We’re two grown-up men now, okay?’ in Gautham Vasudev Menon’s Vaaranam Aayiram (2008),
I remember cinema is not just a medium of entertainment. Especially Tamil cinema being the mother tongue of zigarthanda. 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 surfing zigarthanda.
