  Iruvar 1997

  ★★★★★ Watched 31 Jan 2025

  உடல் மண்ணுக்கு உயிர் தமிழுக்கு !

  If you Google Iruvar and check its Wikipedia page, it says it's an epic political drama. It is epic, not just in scale, but in screenplay, acting, and cinematography. This is an amazing work of art, so tastefully done. Santhosh Sivan's cinematography elevates everything, and the script is equally brilliant. The sheer guts Mani had to make this while Jayalalitha and Karunanidhi were alive is incredible. A hundred years down the line, Iruvar will still stand the test of time and will age even more gracefully.

  Maniratnam's Best Work. Period!

  K.G.F: Chapter 2 2022

  ★½ Watched 16 Apr 2022

  3 hours of really loud montage.

  Toxic Masculinity ✅
  Single dimensional characters ✅
  No flow between scenes ✅
  A whole new level of Hero Worship ✅
  WAY TOO LOUD ✅
  On your face dialogues ✅
  Weak villains ✅

  Technically it was good but the film had no substance. The premise had a lot of potential but wasted on all the stupid things I mentioned above.

  Ofc people gonna say it's a masterpiece. These people will never grow.

  Rip cinema.
