Kalidas, the first talking-head feature film in Tamil.Since then Tamil Cinema has given us the most prominent and epic films. Madras (now Chennai), where the Tamil film industry was first created, later served as a secondary center for Sri Lankan, Bollywood, and other South Indian film industries. Tamil movies from India gained a global presence over the last quarter of the 20th century by being released in an increasing number of places.In this blog, we will explore and revisit some of the remarkable movies of 2022.Ponniyin Selvan-1 (PS-I)Ponniyin Selvan:1  Based on Kalki's historical work from fifty years ago, PS 1 is a historical fiction film in Tamil. The majority of the individuals and more of the historical events in the film are real. Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha, Jayaram, Sobhita Dhulipala, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and Ashwin Kakumanu are among the movie's prominent cast members; R. Sarathkumar, R. Parthiban, and other actors play supporting roles. The film was made by Mani Ratnam, through his Madras Talkies production company, and Allirajah Subaskaran, through Lyca Productions. A. R. Rahman created the film's music, and Ravi VarmanThunindhavan handled the cinematography.In order to deliver a letter from the crown prince Aditha Karikalan, Vandiyathevan travels across the Chola territory. While vassals and minor chieftains conspire to overthrow the throne, Kundavai tries to bring about political harmony is the plot of the movie. Mani Ratnam's spectacular adaptation of Kalki's sprawling epic Ponniyin Selvan, which perfectly captures the intrigue, thrills, and page-turning quality of the books, brings the dream of many Tamil filmmakers to life. Ponniyin Selvan is a sprawling epic that has so far eluded being turned into a movie.Rocketry: The Nambi EffectThe life of Nambi Narayanan, a former scientist and aerospace engineer for the Indian Space Research Organization who was charged with espionage, is the subject of the Indian biographical drama film rocketry: The Nambi Effect. In addition to writing the script and directing the film, R. Madhavan also portrays Nambi Narayanan.The film, which was simultaneously shot in Hindi, Tamil, and English under the title Rocketry: Nambi Vilaivu, has a Sam CS soundtrack. The Rocketry is a biographical film based on the life of Nambi Narayanan, a former scientist at ISRO who struggled for justice for many years after being wrongfully convicted of espionage.The story of Nambi Narayanan's stellar career as an ISRO scientist is told in the book Rocketry, along with how he was treated after a false espionage accusation was brought against him. Madhavan deserves kudos for choosing an obscure subject and, more crucially, for not diluting it with "filmi" features. Without a doubt, the audience needs to hear the story of Rocketry. However, there is a movie that only partially relates to that idea.RRR - Raththam Ranam RowthiramS. S. Rajamouli of Bahubali fame is the director of the multilingual Indian period action drama film RRR, also referred as Raththam Ranam RowthiraBesides Samuthirakani, Ray Stevenson, and Alison Doody, the celebrity cast so includes Jr. NTR, Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, and Olivia Morris.

Danayya of DVV Entertainment.The fictional story of Alluri Sitarama Raju (Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Rama Rao), two Indian revolutionaries who battled against the British Raj and the Nizam of Hyderabad, respectively, is told in the film RRR.It may appear impressive in and of itself to pull together a multi-starrer with Jr. NTR and Ram Charan playing the key roles. However, Rajamouli succeeds even when it comes to the narrative. Jr. NTR delivers the best performance of his career. His charisma as Bheem shines, especially during the more emotional scenes, ahis love for Ramaraju and his yearning to find Malli areis clearly conveyed. Ram Charan performs admirably as well, putting heart into the changes his character goes through. Additionally, Rajamouli cleverluses several clichésre introduced in the first half of the movie.KGF Chapter 2KGF Chapter 2, often known as KGF 2, is a follow-up to the popular film KGF, which was helmed by Prashanth Neel. The primary actor in the film is Yash, who plays Rocky Bhai. Along with Malavika Avinash, Anant Nag, and Achyuth Kumar, Srinidhi Shetty portrayed the female lead.KGF 2 picks up right where the first film leaves off, but there's a twist: Prakash Raj steps in for Anant Nag. Although both actors are superb actors, the replacement, or at least the brief moment of perplexity, felt a little like a break. In the movie, Rocky (Yash) gets control of Kolar Gold Fields and establishes his vast empire, but destiny has other things in store for him since Garuda's brother Adheera (Sanjay Dutt) enters the picture, clearly with a grander scheme.VikramLokesh Kanagaraj wrote and directed the action-thriller Vikram in Tamil.

Gautham Ramachandran's Gargi, a masterfully filmed, sobering drama that plays out more like a suspenseful thriller, is a crucial movie in this #MeToo era. The writing is multi-layered and effectively conveys the complexity of crimes involving sexual abuse.ValimaiThe Tamil action-thriller film Valimai was written and directed by Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru star H. Vinoth. It was also produced by Boney Kapoor under the banner of Bayview Projects LLP. Ajith Kumar and Huma Qureshi play the leading parts in the movie's star cast.

Selfiee is a comedy-drama Bollywood movie directed by Raj Mehta. The movie is produced by Dharma Productions, Magic Frames, Prithviraj Productions, Cape of Good Films, and Star Studios in 2023. Selfiee is a remake of the 2019 Malayalam film Driving Licence. Star Cast: Akshay Kumar, Emraan Hashmi, Nushrratt Bharuccha, and Diana Penty. Director: Raj Mehta Writer: Rishabh Sharma. Producer: Hiroo Yash Johar, Aruna Bhatia, Supriya Menon, Karan Johar, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Apoorva Mehta, and Listin Stephen Runtime: 2 Hours 23 Minutes. Budget: ₹150 Crore. Selfiee Synopsis Selfiee, an adaptation of the critically acclaimed and financially successful Malayalam film Driving Licence, centres on superstar Vijay Kumar and one of his most devoted admirers, Om Prakash Aggarwal. The star travels to Bhopal to shoot a movie and has to visit the RTO because the final scene requires him to have a new driver's license. That brings him to Om, who appears to be the only RTO Inspector in Bhopal. Due to a miscommunication, Vijay embarrasses Om in front of his superiors and son. Om makes the decision to take his revenge and demonstrate that the celebrity isn't above the law. Movie Review Selfiee has a powerful basis and provides a chance to talk about the fleeting nature of fame, its significance in the age of social media, the characteristics of true stardom, media manipulation, the traps of petty egos, and the subject of how Bollywood has ingrained itself so deeply in our lives. Despite having such a brilliant and appealing concept, the film falls flat as Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar overtakes the topic. Om Prakash Aggarwal is shown in the film as the example of a great guy and a family man, while Vijay is depicted as the stereotypically arrogant actor. As a result, it is amusing to see how the two behave as they follow their agendas. For the most part, Akshay's impatient snapping and Emraan Hashmi's helpless devotion work well together. But, as the plot develops, the fights become laughably stupid, and Vijay and Om are portrayed as helpless kids in need of a good beating. While the film wants to support Om, who just wanted a simple selfie with his favourite celebrity, it also depicts at least two cases in which celebrities were harassed and mistreated by fans who wanted to photograph them. Selfie is a watchable movie even though its plot can be inconsistent, assuming you're not expecting something profound or thought-provoking. Performances Akshay Kumar portrays the famous and pompous star in a lighthearted manner. Yet, when he focuses too much on the arrogant side of the character, he can be incredibly annoying. His performance, however, is one of the things that keeps the picture moving. Equally striking is Emraan's transformation into a big fan-turned-enemy. He passionately upholds the actions of middle-class and humble individuals, even when undertaking extraordinary acts. His occasional disappearance of the Bhopali accent is the sole drawback. As Vijay's former roommate who is now forced to speak cringe-worthy lines for sketchy films and advertisements, Abhimanyu is funny. But after a while, his performances start to sound forced. Diana Penty, who plays Vijay's wife Naina, doesn't have a lot of responsibility in this movie, but she does a good job portraying the sophisticated and encouraging wife. Nushrratt Bharuccha does a good job of playing the role of a young Bhopali woman Minty, Om Prakash's better half. Vimla Tiwari, played by Meghna Malik, is one of the characters in the movie that keeps you involved and entertained. Particularly in interactions with Akshay, Meghna stands out thanks to her flawless comic timing. Direction The first half of the film is expertly handled by director Raj Mehta, who keeps it lighthearted and engaging while sprinkling it with humorous one-liners that the actor performs with confidence and ease. The wit is less evident in the second half, which is focused on the confrontation between the two protagonists. Selfiee is a light-hearted film with a few standout performances and plenty of belly laughs. This can be a fantastic choice if you want to spend the weekend with a fun and entertaining movie.

Nana Patekar is one of the most bankable actors in Indian cinema. His immense acting prowess and range of emotions have made him an actor many up-and-coming actors look up to. From ‘Krantiveer’ to ‘Welcome’, Nana Patekar has repeatedly proved to the Indian audience that he can play any role with relative ease and conviction second to none. He may be considered Bollywood’s “bad boy” for the various grey characters he has been playing over the decades, but his foray into the romance genre has been anything but a disappointment. So, here are five of Nana Patekar’s romantic movies that will make you believe in love again!1. Tadka: Love is cooking (2022 film)Tadka: Love Is Cooking, more commonly known as ‘Tadka’ is a 2022 romantic comedy film directed by Prakash Raj that was released online on 4th November 2022 as a direct-to-OTT release.

They get in touch because of a phone call placed by mistake and gradually hit it off. Because of their own insecurities, they decide to send Siddharth (played by Ali Fazal) and Nicole (played by Taapsee Pannu) as their respective decoys and the two get along pretty well. What follows is a series of comedic errors and confusion that is sure to tickle your funny bone!Nana Patekar yet again proves why he is not only a jack of all trades but also a master of all. His wide range of emotions displayed in the movie Tadka can be compared to that of the late Irrfan Khan’s ‘Lunchbox’, which is considered one of Irrfan Khan’s best works. The portrayal of romance in its nascent form by Nana Patekar gives is a breath of fresh air from the actor, who has been off the romantic movie genre for quite some time.2. Wajood (1998 film)Wajood is no ordinary love story. It is a tale of many broken hearts and countless murders by a love-struck Romeo who is on a quest for vengeance for all the wrongdoings that have happened in his life.

He falls in love with Apoorva, played by Madhuri Dixit, who is also a theatre artist. He mistakes her kindness for love and becomes an obsessive lover who would go to any lengths (which includes murders) to win the love of his life.Nana Patekar displays an array of emotions which include grief, anger, love and resentment. His path to darkness in the quest for love is beautifully fleshed out in the movie Wajood, which is also considered one of Nana Patekar’s best works to date.3. Wedding Anniversary (2017 film)Wedding Anniversary is a 2017 movie directed by Shekhar S Jha and produced by Kumar Mahant and Achyut Naik.

She decided to read a book by her favourite author Nagarjun (played by Nana Patekar) to pass her time. To Kahani’s, disbelief, Nagarjun shows up at her doorstep and the two have an eventful conversation which forms the base of the movie.Nana Patekar brings composure that was much needed in this movie filled with tension between the couple on their wedding anniversary. His calm demeanour and unforced chemistry with Mahie Gill makes this film a light breeze on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Also, did you know that you can book a personalised video message for your loved ones from none other than Mahie Gill? Click on the link and make your loved ones' dreams come true!4. Ghulam-E-Mustafa (1997 film)Guns, Gangsters and Grief - what more does one require to create the perfect Nana Patekar hit movie? This 1997 movie was praised by critics and audiences alike, who applauded the chemistry between Nana Patekar’s and Paresh Rawal’s characters and also the sincerity with which Nana Patekar played the role. This may not be your typical mushy Bollywood love story, but the conviction in the eyes of Nana with which he describes his love for Kavita, played by Raveena Tandon, is enough to tell you how much the characters loved each other.5. Horn ‘Ok’ Pleassss (2009 film)Horn ‘Ok’ Pleassss is a 2009 Hindi film directed by Rakesh Sarang and stars Nana Patekar, Rimi Sen and Muzammil Ibrahim in the lead roles. It is a very unconventional love story filled with humorous elements that makes it one of a kind.

One day, he comes across Ajay, played by Muzammil Ibrahim, who seeks help from Govinda to win the love of his life Sia (played by Rimi Sen). There is one problem though, as Sia bears a striking resemblance to Govinda’s wife Ria (also played by Rimi Sen). It is later revealed that Sia and Ria are twin sisters which creates a comedy of errors and a laugh riot ensues after.Even with a weak script, Nana Patekar is at his romantic best which helps the movie as the plot progresses. His natural charm and persona will make you believe that he really is in love with his wife, which any other actor may have struggled to convey just by actions.
