Kollywood has finally turned its attention towards social issues and its by products. Starting from farmers' issue to medical scams, to child labour to present-day politics, the radar has widened over the years. Sigai is an addition to this line up which managed to make people realise the harms caused against transgender.
It's been two years since Sigai has been premiered in the All Lights India International Film Festival in Hyderabad. The movie made a positive impact on the audience during the premiering. After the success, the movie was released on Zee5, the second mainstream movie to be released in a streaming service.
The movie has two different messages to showcase. One is about the life and pain that sex workers go through on a daily basis and the other one is about the inequality faced by the transgender in India. The director has done a fantabulous job portraying both the messages.
The plot is very simple. It follows a crisp narration until the end of the first half. The nightlife of Chennai has been pictured to perfection. Each frame has its own story to speak. Once the initial set upset in the core story unfolds, the thrilling element that follows in the second half makes this movie a perfect watch for this weekend.
The second half is entirely different from the first, as it takes us into the world of Mathivanan, a transgender. It shows us the problems faced by the transgender which might even make you cry by the end of it. The movie ends with a message and the song on Transgender.
Performance: Kathir as Mathivanan is fresh from the success of Pariyerum Perumal and Vikram Vedha. He should get special applause just for accepting the role. It is a bold step in his career. He has done proper justice to the role in every frame. His posture, mannerism and dialogue delivery portrays his talent as an actor.
Meera Nair as Nirmala played her role with ease. Though she shares a small screen space, she has utilised it well. Raj Barath as Prasad is one of the characters you must look out for in the movie. The movie has a bunch of stars like Riythvika, Mayilsamy and others. Everyone has justified their roles.
Jagadeesan Subu has done a fair job, considering that this is his debut movie. His intention is clear from frame one to the end. He has done a lot of hard work in detailing the characters even in the short span of 95 minutes. Chetta using a diary to record phone numbers though he has a mobile phone, Prasad's care for Buvana are few examples of it. Navin Kumar's cinematography and Ron Ethan Yohann's music are some of the prominent elements of the movie. Their contribution to the movie was nothing less than flawless.
The problem with Sigai is its two different plots. Till the interval, the story is crisp and engaging, but once Mathivanan's character is introduced in the movie, the story starts to dilute. Though the intended message is clear, the portrayal is not so convincing at some places. If a little detailing about Mathivanan's childhood been added to the story, it would have made the movie a seamless one.
Apart from few hiccups, Sigai is a worthy watch for its message and performances by the actors. The director succeeds in making us feel for the sex-workers and the transgender, something that is so uncommon in films nowadays.

Ethan and his friends are trapped in an alley. Benji is scared and worried for his life. Ethan's words "I won't let anything happen to you Benji". The opening scene says it all. Ethan the man who values people than his mission yet again lands himself in trouble. Off course this mission is not a choice.
It's been 22 years since the first Mission Impossible film hit the theatres, Tom Cruise hasn't changed. He is ready to risk his life for the entertainment of his fans and movie lovers. Every time he takes the risk meter a notch above the earlier one. Be it hanging the cliff, leaping between buildings, boarding a flying helicopter he is the man of action.
Fallout is the recent addition to Tom Cruise's best ever franchise. Right from the word go Fallout is a treat. The movie never wasted a minute to suit up. The 148 minutes of entertainment is rich in action, marvel in stunts and brilliant in execution.
Unlike other MI movies Fallout is a direct sequel to its predecessor Rough Nation. Off course this is a first time that a director has directed two movies in this franchise. Though the movie is a sequel, one doesn't need to know the story of Rough Nation to watch Fallout, the movie is clear in implying the plot even to someone new to the franchise.
When Christopher McQuarrie was announced the director of Fallout, it surprised everyone, as this is the first time a director has directed two movies in Mission Impossible franchise. But, he proved to be the perfect man to direct Fallout. His direction has made Fallout the best in the franchise (According to my opinion).
Technically the movie is brilliant, especially the locations where the stunts were performed, like the climax in Kashmir (Though not mentioned in the movie). Fallout stands out the best in the franchise. Music by Lorne Balfe is too good during stunts, his music has elevated the stunts a step higher through his music. Rob Hardy's camera speaks for itself. His work during the stunt scenes are exceptional.
Above all the casting is perfect as a bullet. From Ving Rhames to Alec Baldwin, the cast has done justification to their roles. Roping Henry Cavil as Walker is the high point of the movie. Though we miss his action till the climax, he adds perfect flavour to the cast.
Mission Impossible Fallout is the best in the franchise so far. Don't miss the action packed 148 minutes. The best action movie of the year.

Anthology is one of the toughest of genres for a director. Bejoy Nambiar has taken one such effort and made a near perfect movie. Solo tells us four different stories of four different characters. There are few things that connect the story like lost love, elements of nature and Lord Shiva.
The best aspect about Solo is its stunning visuals. Each story differ from one another in terms of theme set. The first follows water, the second air, third fire and the final one earth. Each element is portrayed exceptionally through the characters and the visuals.
The exceptional visuals are equally complimented by the music. It is easily the best that south India has produced this year. At times music dominates the visuals. Be it the song during the wedding, Roshomon used in the army camp or the Aygiri Nandini song each stands alone in its own way.
Apart from Visuals and Music, Dulquer is the cherry on the cake. It is one of Dulquer's best movies. He has done an exceptional job. He lived as the characters in each story, especially in the second half. Though the female leads don't have much screen space they have done their part well. Sai Dhansika and Sruthy Hariharan stands in our hearts by their performances.
Speaking about the stories, the first two didn't have much impact comparing the last two. It's really surprising that Bejoy has shown two different works, one before the interval and the one after the interval. The one that brings Dulquer as the Gangster is the best among the four.
The melodrama works better at few instance, especially the second half. But, it seems a little over done towards the end. The last few minutes seem like a TV serial, few characters goes out of focus. May be the one shot experiment played its part.
Apart from few glitches and lagging last few minutes Solo is a must watch for its Visuals, Music and Dulquer. Remember that it narrates four different stories, it's better to watch it without expectations.
