      Vettaiyan Movie Review: Rajini's Epic Battle Against Corruption in Education
      Cast: Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Ritika Singh, and othersDirector: T.J. GnanavelMusic: Anirudh RavichanderEditor: Philomin RajCinematography: S.R. KhadirProduction House: Lyca ProductionsProducer: Subaskaran AllirajahRelease Date: October 10, 2024 Superstar Rajinikanth plays the lead role in 'Vettaiyan - The Hunter,' directed by T.J. Gnanavel, known for 'Jai Bhim'. Produced by Subaskaran of Lyca Productions, the film features Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil, Dushara Vijayan, and Ritika Singh in pivotal roles. The movie has been released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. However, the retention of the Tamil title in the Telugu version drew some criticism. Did the movie overcome these issues to receive positive talk? Did it bring Rajini another solid success after the blockbuster 'Jailer'? Let’s find out in this review. Plot Police officer Adhiyan (Rajinikanth) serves as the SP of Kanyakumari and earns a reputation as an encounter specialist. Based on a complaint from school teacher Saranya (Dushara Vijayan), he takes down a drug mafia leader. Later, Saranya is transferred to Chennai, where she unexpectedly becomes a victim of sexual assault and murder. As teachers' associations and the public protest on a large scale, the case is handed over to Adhiyan. He apprehends a person named Gunaa within 48 hours, claiming him to be the culprit, and executes him in an encounter. A judicial committee is then formed, headed by Judge Sathyadev (Amitabh Bachchan), to investigate the matter. What did the committee find? What was the reason behind Saranya's death? What role does the education mafia play in her murder? And how are characters like Patrick (Fahadh Faasil), Nataraj (Rana Daggubati), ACP Roopa Kiran (Ritika Singh), and Hanu Reddy (Sampath Raj) connected to the case? To find out, you must watch the movie. Performance Analysis As always, Superstar Rajinikanth delivers an exceptional performance. His mass moments, heroism, and elevation scenes make his character a visual treat. Especially, his dialogue delivery and mannerisms are sure to impress the audience. Amitabh Bachchan, in an equally important role, is fantastic, and their scenes together are electrifying. Fahadh Faasil, playing a police informer, is captivated by his witty performance. Rana Daggubati and Dushara Vijayan also got substantial roles and impressed with their performances. The rest of the cast has performed well within their scope. Direction and Execution Director T.J. Gnanavel, known for the socially conscious 'Jai Bhim,' attempts to deliver another strong message through 'Vettaiyan.' Adding mass moments, heroism, and commercial elements to the story was a major plus. The film boldly addresses how people exploit under the guise of "smart education." The director starts the movie on a commercial note with Rajinikanth's introduction and action against the drug mafia and takes the story into the core plot after Saranya's case. However, the slow pace of the narration and some predictable elements work against the film. But the scenes between Amitabh and Rajini are a highlight, adding intrigue. Rajini’s dialogues and the director’s handling of the star cast like Fahadh Faasil and Rana are impressive. The climax is also satisfactory. Technical Aspects In terms of technical aspects, every department performed well. The cinematography was excellent, giving the film a commercial look. Anirudh's background score, as always, excites the audience, and the fans are sure to enjoy it. The editing could have been a bit sharper. Lyca Productions did not compromise on the production quality.

      'Venom 3: The Last Dance' Review - Tom Hardy's Explosive Farewell Packs Stunning Action But Misses Heart
      'Venom 3: The Last Dance' Review - Tom Hardy's Explosive Farewell Packs Stunning Action But Misses Heart
      Cast: Tom Hardy, Andy Serkis, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy, Rhys Ifans, Cristo Fernandez, Stephen Graham, and others Directed by: Kelly Marcel Cinematography: Fabian Wagner Editing: Mark Sanger Music: Dan Deacon Producers: Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Kelly Marcel, Tom Hardy Release Date: October 25, 2024 The 'Venom' series holds a special place in Hollywood movies, captivating fans of superhero films. Following two blockbuster hits, the series continues with 'Venom 3,' which hit theaters worldwide on October 25 as 'Venom: The Last Dance.' Like always, Tom Hardy stars as the protagonist under the direction of Kelly Marcel. Did part 3 also please the audience? Did it stand out as a visual wonder with its thrilling action sequences? Let's find out now. What's the Story? Picking up where 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' left off, the third part begins. After separating from Venom, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) becomes a most-wanted criminal. Meanwhile, Venom is also being hunted by beings from his own planet. Suddenly, both face a new threat. An element necessary for the release of Nal (Andy Serkis), a super villain imprisoned in another world, is unique with them. This provokes Nal's army to chase them. To escape from Nal's army, either Eddie or Venom must die, or they must forever be on the run. How did Eddie and Venom handle this? How did they confront Nal? That's the story. How Did They Perform? Tom Hardy delivers a one-man show in 'Venom 3.' He fits perfectly into Eddie Brock's role once again and manages to generate chemistry with an absent Venom, which is no small feat. Like in previous films, his comedic timing brings laughs, and he dazzles in the action sequences. His dynamic performance in the intense action scenes captivated the audience. Andy Serkis, as Nal, also grabs attention. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy, Rhys Ifans, Cristo Fernandez, and Stephen Graham all do justice to their roles, fulfilling their characters' demands effectively. https://twitter.com/VenomMovie/status/1834215396595101934 How's the Direction? Director Kelly Marcel has crafted 'Venom: The Last Dance' with thrilling action sequences similar to the first two parts. Starting with an intense fight action scene, the director maintains this intensity until the end. He impresses the audience with three solid action sequences, especially with the climax that holds viewers captive for 20 minutes. The battle involving Venom, other symbiotes, and the military against a formidable enemy is thrilling. However, the makers have already announced that this movie will be the last in the Venom series. Highlighting Eddie and Venom's bond with an emotional finish would have been ideal. One scene just before the pre-climax does manage to be emotionally engaging. Overall, the movie will definitely entertain action lovers. https://twitter.com/VenomMovie/status/1846663977784562073 Technically On the technical front, the VFX team has done a fantastic job, turning the film into a visual wonder. The background music is excellent. The editing is adequate, and the production values are high. Plus Points - Tom Hardy's performance - Action sequences - VFX work Minus Points - Lack of depth in Eddie and Venom's bonding - Insufficient drama in the storyline Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 3/5

Parvathy Thiruvothu, playing Thangalaan’s wife, was adequate in her role. Malavika Mohanan as Aarathi, the tribal leader, delivered the best performance of her career. Her looks and acting scared the audience and stood next to Vikram in terms of impact. Their action scenes together are particularly thrilling. Other actors performed well within their roles. How's the Direction? The film 'Thangalaan', primarily revolving around a gold hunt, is subtly portrayed by director Pa. Ranjith was a struggle of an oppressed class during the British era, highlighting racial discrimination. The world and characters created by the director transport the audience to a new realm. The people's attire and societal depiction are immersive. The journey of Thangalaan with the British in search of gold, and the challenges they face en route, build suspense. The scenes before the interval raise expectations for the second half, which, however, feels a bit detached as the story progresses. The pre-climax fight between the British, Thangalaan, and the tribal community leads to confusion, blurring the line between Thangalaan's dreams and reality. Yet, the director delivers a satisfying conclusion in the climax by revealing another dimension of Thangalaan's character. Technically Speaking Technically, the film is robust in many aspects. The costumes, makeup, and art departments have outdone themselves for this movie. The music by GV Prakash Kumar also complements the narrative well. The production values are high.
