    I never imagined that I would log in a Balayya padam in Letterboxd.

    Viduthalai: Part II

    ★★★★

    "Leaders without an ideology, will only produce fans, that would not pave way to progress."
    If people criticize this film form a technical standpoint and if they call it preachy, i suppose, they're missing out the whole point. Viduthalai is a more of substance over style kind of film. It sticks strongly to the ideology and doesn't shy away talking about it. My respect of this man, Vetrimaran has increased for creating a montage in a mainstream tamil film that explains the surplus value of labor.
    A haunting peice of cinema that will age better than anyone even thinks at this moment.

    ★★½

    A usual template filled with Selvaraghavan's absurdity.
    Pathetic climax ruined everything for me.

  • Minnal Murali

    Minnal Murali

    ★★★½

    Minnal Murali is so grounded, it is the only super hero film in which the Super hero saves people wearing rubber chappal.
    Minnal Murali is highly ambitious and uniquely local.
