Okay, what do you need on a lazy Monday morning? Probably a little bit of warmth. Honestly, I did not even contemplate that Anupam Kher’s upcoming film Tanvi The Great could offer that warm, cozy space one might need in an otherwise struggling day. But the trailer of this film helmed by Anupam Kher is promising all the good things!

Anupam Kher is a brilliant actor but he is a skilled filmmaker as well. Though people might agree to disagree but his directorial debut in Om Jai Jagdish did make an impact despite being flawed. Not only did the actor arrive with another directorial starring Shubhangi, who plays an autistic girl in the film!

Following its outstanding World Premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, acclaimed producer, actor and filmmaker, Anupam Kher’s latest directorial, Tanvi The Great, celebrated a star-studded UK Premiere on 21st May at the iconic Anil Agarwal Riverside Studios in London.

The red carpet event was a grand affair, attended by the film’s ensemble cast including Anupam Kher; Boman Irani; Pallavi Joshi; debutant actress, Shubhangi Dutt; and Karan Tacker. Guests were welcomed with a champagne reception, followed by the screening and an intimate post-screening Q&a moderated by Anupam Kher himself.

The Premiere drew a host of high-profile personalities from the worlds of film, media, and business, including director of Bend It Like Backham, Gurinder Chadha; actors, Nitin Ganatra, Adeel Akhtar, Sacha Dhawan, and Preeya Kalidas; CEO of Vedanta Limited and patron of Riverside Studios, Anil Agarwal; and former Vice President of India, M.

Thani Oruvan is still considered a classic action film. Mohan Raja directed the movie, which had a star-studded cast. Ravi Mohan played the lead role in pivotal roles with Nayanthara and Arvind Swamy.

However, Ravi Mohan was not the first choice for the lead role. The director initially planned the film with Prabhas in mind. Mohan Raja shared this surprising detail in an interview in 2023.

He revealed that the idea of Thani Oruvan, a unique cop thriller, was created with Prabhas as the lead actor. Mohan Raja narrated the story to Prabhas. However, Prabhas was more interested in love stories at that time. He even asked the director if he had a romantic story instead.

The year 2024 has been a testament to the evolving landscape of Tamil movies, where a rich culture of collaboration is reshaping the industry. This transformation reflects a delicate balance between the familiar pulse of high-octane masala spectacles and the subtle charm of imaginative, character-driven narratives. It has also marked a shift from the reliance on the tried-and-tested formulas of big-star vehicles to the emergence of fresh talent and bold voices in filmmaking. While some much-anticipated collaborations between renowned filmmakers and veteran actors fell short of expectations, it was the next generation of filmmakers and performers who truly took center stage, salvaging what could have been a forgettable year.

There was no standout, all-encompassing big-star film that dominated the Kollywood industry this year. High-profile projects like Vijay’s “The Greatest of All Time,” Rajinikanth’s “Vettaiyan,” and Sivakarthikeyan’s “Ayalaan” all left audiences wanting more. Yet, none of these could match...

Box Office: Top 10 Profitable Tamil Films Of 2024! (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Tamil Film Industry in the year 2024 had a very mixed slate with superstar biggies failing to recover their costs at the box office including Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2, Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan and Thalapathy Vijay’s The Greatest Of All Time.

Only 4 Clean Hits

This year had only four clean hits out of them three were superhits and one was a hit. While Maharaja, Vaazhai and Lubber Pandhu were the three super hits film of the year, Garudan was the only hit!

However, many films tried and surpassed their entire budgets, bringing profits. Many of them managed to bring very little profit on that front as well. One of the best films of the year, Amaran, starring Sivakarthikeyan, registered 83.23% profit!

Netflix, especially the Indian and US catalog has a long way to go when it comes to the representation of Southern India. Their regional listing is limited when compared to other Ott platforms like Amazon Prime and Hotstar. However, the times are a-changing as more and more Netflix original films are being produced in the country. It’s likely that Netflix – The biggest Ott platform in India and the US will soon have the best Tamil movies in their catalog. The option that the Netflix app allows download will be helping these Tamil movies a lot. As of now, this always-updating list will lead you to the best of Tamil movies there are on Netflix:

1. Meiyazhagan (2024)

With 96 (2018), director C. Prem Kumar gently revealed his gift of embedding empathy and tenderness in his stories. The simple act of homecoming catalyses a love story from the past to find closure in the present in that film.

Are all relatives equally nosey? Are no pleasantries exchanged without an ulterior motive? Meiyazhagan is here to clear all our prejudices. Quickly rising within the Netflix Top 10 list, the Tamil tearjerker is a real treat for viewers on the watch for some feel-good emotional classics.

What makes Meiyazhagan’s tale so timeless?

Forget about your family feud, here’s something that’ll really get you thinking. With two timelines that intercept a 22 year old gap, Meiyazhagan‘s central climax of a reunion and familial love probably accounts for one of the most heartfelt ones encountered on screen.

Co-producer Suriya had some wonderful words to share while talking about the film’s reception among Indian audience. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, he remarked, “A water bottle can be priced at Rs 10 or Rs 500. What matters is who is benefiting, and who should be satisfied? Why feel worried if...

Modernity has offered diversification and opened horizons for people to reach out to others living far away. It has welcomed comfort and accessibility to various things that once were difficult to attain. But, modernization has simultaneously diminished the essentialities and fundamentals of our life, i.e., human connection. C. Prem Kumar’s “Meiyazhagan” is an ode to the everlasting essence of human connection – connection that’s established not through any electronic medium but through the exchange of memories, love, care, and emotion between two individuals through spoken words and a charming smile. Connection, that can break the shackles of animosity and pain one might inherently go through. Connection that can dissipate anger, inferiority, and anonymity and create a relationship to cherish forever. C Prem Kumar, once again, offers something after “96” that deals with the human soul, and not some regular potboiler scenarios.

Vettaiyan, headlined by Rajinikanth, arrived in theatres during the Navratri season and was expected to rake in wonders at the worldwide box office. Unfortunately, the performance has been much below expectations, and now, it is heading towards a flop verdict. Riding on a massive budget, the biggie will be lagging behind by a big margin. Amid this, some important details are out about it, related to its Ott premiere date and streaming platform.

Reception of the film

The latest Kollywood action drama is helmed by Jai Bhim fame Tj Gnanavel. It was released in theatres on October 10, and upon its release, it was welcomed with mixed to decent reviews from critics.

For the unversed, it is the sequel to the 2016 movie, which was directed by Chris Williams and Don Hall. It was praised by the critics, and financially, the movie was a big success.

Meiyazhagan, starring Karthi and Arvind Swamy, has ended its journey in theatres. Unfortunately, despite its merits, the film has failed to emerge as a commercial success. It turned out to be an average affair, and it managed to recover its complete budget domestically, which is the only bright spot. At the worldwide box office, it somehow crossed the 50 crore milestone and closed its run after spending over a month on the big screen.

Coming from the school of director C. Prem Kumar, who helmed ’96 (2018), the Kollywood slice-of-life drama had high hopes pinned on its shoulders. Theatrically, it was released on September 27, and upon its arrival, it received mostly positive reviews from critics. Even word-of-mouth was favorable among the audience but the film failed to make it big at ticket windows. It seems that the theme didn’t cater to the large section of the audience,...

The Karthi and Arvind Swamy starrer Meiyazhagan attained a lot of critical acclaim for its emotional storyline and honest performances. However, it seems that the film might lose the hit verdict and be unable to recover its budget. After its recent Ott release, the film’s day-wise collection has also slowed down, and it will also miss the 60 crore milestone.

Meiyazhagan Box Office Day 30

On its 30th day, the Karthi and Arvind Swamy starrer saw a slight rise from its 29-day collections. Its day-wise collection came to 0.02 crore. The movie’s India net collections come to 33.96 crore.

The Karthi starrer Meiyazhagan was released at the Tamil box office with high expectations. It did manage to garner a lot of critical acclaim due to the endearing subject and the honest performances. However, the movie seems underperforming and might miss recovering its budget. Not only this, but the movie has also missed the 60 crore milestone.

Talking about the same, on its 28th day, Meiyazhagan witnessed a meager rise in the collections from 0.01 crore to 0.02 crore. The day-wise collection of the movie has drastically decreased now. The India net collection of the movie now comes to 33.93 crore. At the same time, the gross collection of the movie amounts to 40.03 crore.

The Karthi starrer’s overseas collection comes to 12.25 crore. The worldwide collection of the movie now comes to 52.28 crore. The movie will not reach the 60 crore milestone because of the day-wise collection decreasing.

Meiyazhagan, starring Karthi and Arvind Swamy, ended its third week at the Indian box office on Thursday. After a decent start, the film lacked momentum and currently stands as an underperformer. It’s sad that despite having a fair run, the film might not recover the budget and end up being a failure by a very small margin. Keep reading to know where it exactly stands after spending 21 days in theatres!

Helmed by ’96 fame C Prem Kumar, the Kollywood drama was released in theatres on September 27. It opened to mostly positive reviews from critics, and word-of-mouth among the ticket-buying audience has been decent. This positivity helped the film earn a respectable total but is falling short of its target collection.

Suriya’s much-anticipated fantasy-action film Kanguva, directed by Siva and co-starring Bobby Deol and Disha Patani, has a new release date. Initially scheduled for release on October 10, the film will now hit theaters on November 14, 2024, coinciding with Children’s Day. The shift in release date was confirmed by the film’s producers, Studio Green, on X (formerly Twitter).

They wrote, “The Battle of Pride and Glory, for the World to Witness. #Kanguva’s mighty reign storms screens from 14-11-24.” The decision was made to avoid clashing with Vettaiyan, the upcoming Rajinikanth-starrer directed by Tj Gnanavel, which is slated for a Dasara release.

Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan-starrer The Legend of Maula Jatt set to be released in Indian theatres

While fans are excited about the new release date, some expressed disappointment that the film won’t be released during Diwali, a major festival season for Tamil cinema.

Netflix’s Ic-814: The Kandahar Hijack revolves around the tragic events of December 24th, 1999, when an Indian passenger plane was hijacked by some Islamist militants while it was flying to Delhi from Kathmandu. At that point in time, the flight had some 176 passengers onboard, along with the crew and their brave captain, Devi Sharan. Despite the Indian government’s initial reluctance to negotiate with terrorists, the officials managed to bring the passengers back to India safely. Anubhav Sinha’s Ic-814 plays like an intense thriller that realistically captures the ordeal hostages went through. So, without any further ado, let’s find out more about these unsung heroes through our cast and character guide.

Captain Devi Sharan

Vijay Varma once again proves his incredible talent by portraying Captain Devi Sharan (or Sharan Dev) in Ic-814: The Kandahar Hijack. We’ve seen Vijay deliver powerful performances in Darlings and Mirzapur, and he doesn’t disappoint here either.

For six gripping and flab-free episodes of Anubhav Sinha’s revisitation of the Kandahar hijacking, I forgot to breathe. Yes, it is that engaging. So for those who may want to ask, ‘Why another series on the oft-visited Kandahar hijack episode?’ the answer is elementary: no matter how many times you visit a shameful chapter of history, for example the holocaust, you come up with a new perspective on what precipitates a historic mess up of this magnitude.

In this case, the hijacked plane had landed for emergency fuelling in Amritsar. The hijackers could have been nabbed at this point in the crisis. Redtapism blew our chances. As it often does.

Anubhav Sinha doesn’t make the same mistake. He reconstructs the entire episode with a vigour that repudiates any technical error. Sinha is in his element here, mixing the authenticity of documentation with the rigours of fictionalization. The end-result is steady ….and heady.

The IC814 trailer has just dropped, and fans are already in a frenzy! Vijay Varma’s portrayal of a pilot has sparked a wave of excitement across social media. His powerful dialogue delivery and charismatic presence in a uniform have viewers hooked, making it clear that this film is set to be a major hit.

One fan raved, “Wow…Vijay Varma is totally killing it with his dialogue ” While another shared, “Vijay Varma as a pilot …. i din’t know I needed something like this in my life ”

One commented “Finally !! Oh my lord !!!! Vijay in Uniform is so hot ” One said “Vijay Varma is silently ruling in Bollywood”

Another commented “Damn, Vijay Varma looks so identical to Capt Devi Sharan!!”

As the buzz continues to build, fans are eagerly counting down the days until the film’s release. With comments like “Have to watch this now for Vijay ” flooding in,...

Nagarjuna Rejects Role in Superstar’s Film ( Photo Credit – Facebook; Wikimedia )

Veteran Tollywood actor Akkineni Nagarjuna has always chosen to avoid negative roles and prefers to play positive characters. This decision is based on his desire to maintain a positive image and appeal to his loyal fan base.

One notable instance was when Nagarjuna was considered for the role of Arvind Swamy in Dhruva, the Telugu remake of the Tamil film Thani Oruvan, starring Ram Charan. Director Surender Reddy approached Nagarjuna with the idea of playing a stylish villain with a unique portrayal. However, Nagarjuna turned down the offer, staying true to his preference for positive roles.

Similarly, a few days back, director Lokesh Kanagaraj reportedly offered Nagarjuna a negative role in the upcoming film Coolie, starring superstar Rajinikanth. Despite the high-profile nature of the project, Nagarjuna chose to decline the role, sticking to his long-held stance. His decision is heavily influenced by his fans,...
