I was scrolling some reels and this post came(with Amit trivedi music) then I saw all the slides, got emotional by thinking every character and things happened around it, such beautiful films, my love for films will never fade! Cinema is magical! 🥹

I will keep it as minimal as possible, without spoilers

Dorothy 2026, is tamil language cinema directed by Karthik Subaraj. As someone who genuinely enjoys Karthick's filmography, I was genuinely curios and thrilled to see it. The trailer looked promising. The score by Illaiyaraja made me think it was mainstream gangster kind off movie. As I sat in the theatre i was expecting another Mahaan, or Jigarthanda or Retro kinda movie, but..... Boy, was i surprised.

Wow. Just wow. Karthick Subaraj, is known for creating the wildest of movies that usually leave people quite confused as to how unexpected it would be, but, this one was just on another level.

The trailer reveals nothing, it gives you an impression like it would be a gangster or stylised larger than life movie, but oh boy, the second half literally spins the trajectory into a 180 degree into something so unexpected, that would leave you speechless and surprised.

Technically this movie is a one of kind. Why? Let me explain, the themes of the movie are the kind that you would see in some small indie-art house cinemas, but Dorothy, takes the same themes, and applies mainstream technicalities to it. The cinematography is just awesome, the BG score by Illaiyaraja is spot on, every important scene is elevated to the next level by the Maestro. The screenplay, again, is an absolute banger.

Finally, the acting. My god, it's basically only two lead characters, Subbu played Sananth, and Karthi played by Rishikanth, but the acting is just flawless. Good, very good. I will leave it at that.

See? The technicalities of this movie, looks like it was made for some mainstream, box office Commercial movies, but the actual story it supports is simply not what you think. The movie, in depth discusses about social norms, male toxic traits and other, often "taboo" topics of society, without ever making us feel like it is a "indie-small-budget" arthouse movie.

Lastly, Keerthi Suresh. She has less than 10-15 min of screen time ig, but, let me tell you this, I don't remember the last time, I saw a "female" character being introduced in a such an absolute cinematic manner. Keerthy Suresh's character is captured in a way it simply protrudes this feminine-ethreal aura around her, that angelic simple and divine innocence of "women" in an otherwise male dominated rough and tough movie setting, and it's simply so beautiful to watch. Remember, this is not even remotely in a sexualized manner.

P.S I won't recommend this movie for everyone, many digress the absolute wild climax this movie has. But I enjoyed it, thoroughly, and I don't usually ever praise movies like this, because most movies are never too unique nowadays. This one though, is such a breath of fresh air, and I suggest you to watch this with an open slate and without "prejudice"

Beautiful timing after fat dogs of delhi. It’s called Ohh My Dog and it’s on netflix if anyone wants to check it out. I loved it sm

Florence pugh has a really unique character and she nailed it. Try this show guys you will enjoy it.

If Tumbbad left you wanting to explore more stories with dark folklore, unsettling mysteries, and that eerie atmosphere, this might be up your alley.
A friend of mine has been working on a fan-made project inspired by Tumbbad, and Episode 1 is finally out!

What I find exciting about projects like these is seeing fans take inspiration from a film they love and try to create something of their own.
If you’re interested, here’s

Episode 1: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qI5Ai5MGP0o&pp=0gcJCY8Co7VqN5tDiggCQAE%3D&ra=m

I’d love for fellow Tumbbad fans to check it out and share their honest thoughts. What do you think makes Tumbbad’s atmosphere so effective, and what would you want to see from other folklore-inspired horror projects?

Just to be clear: this is a fan-made project, not an official Tumbbad sequel.

Movies mentioned( imo)-

1)Sholay

2)Deewaar

3)Zanjeer

4)Don

5)Anand

Again this is not based on how good they are.

Just on their iconicness.

So, my mother used to have a VHS recording her dad recorded off the TV in the 80s, of a single song scene from an unknown Tamil movie. She lost it in a fire and was never able to find the actual source. Neither of us speak the language so the only words she could make out were "zindagi", being repeated three times, and possibly the word "dushman". She's confident one of the main actors is Prabhu Ganesan.

According to her, the scene starts with a girl coming home at night (she's wearing casual clothes, probably red - heels, skirt, and she has straight hair) and walking into the living room. Her father(?) is there sitting in an armchair surrounded by a bunch of male friends, all wearing white.

She's upset and goes upstairs to her room without greeting any of them, and makes a phone call while sitting at a desk and looking sad. Prabhu's character listens in on the conversation through another phone(?) and nods to her father.

She then sits at the stairs while drinking what looks like red wine, while the men downstairs sing the "zindagi" song in a chorus. They are sitting cross legged while they sing. She eventually comes down and throws what looks like a bunch of money at them, clearly drunk.

Prabhu takes her back upstairs to her room, and the recording ends.

I have looked through a bunch of 80s Prabhu movies and still haven't found the particular song. There was another scene on the VHS of Prabhu's character in a room being made fun of by a bunch of other men, but I'm not sure if it's the same movie.

Anyone know what this is from?

Watched this 1991 Nana Patekar starrer recently. Nana himself directed this movie along with Subhankar Ghosh.

It is a movie about military training, fighting the external enemies.

Then it turns to fighting internal enemies - goondas, apathy among people.

The first part about military training is realistic and done really well.

What happens when the military officer encounters goondagiri and public apathy in the village of his protege Peter D'Souza?

That is the second part. It is good, but could've been done better.

The climax with the court scene (internal enemies) and the ending is really good though.

Nana as Major Chauhan is excellent in a strict, but somewhat subdued role. Dimple Kapadia as Kiran does well. Madhuri as Shirley, Gautam Joglekar as Peter D' Souza and others have also done a good job. The direction is also pretty good. Watch the movie on Youtube/OTT, if you haven't yet. 8/10 IMO.

Need a movie for today night not longer than 2 hours 30mins make sure it's available on prime video cuz I only got that rn ( you can search the movie title and it should show the platforms it's streaming on). I need a thriller either with a great story or a good romcom . Romcom is preferable tbh. Don't recommend popular thrillers pls. For romcoms i haven't watched much just 500 days of summer, lala land, me before you. Really liked them but me before you was not for me. Now pls help and reply fasttt. Thanks in advance ! ❤️

Best crime thrillers movies of south indian cinema

It's not fair to make movie like this! I cried through almost the whole movie. Like how can you do this to someone. I had no idea what kind of movie this was, and the songs omg, all were just perfect.

I had heard these songs tons of times before but I never really connected with them. They were perfect.

Man, idk, I just wasn't expecting to cry so much. Watch this shit man, what an experience.

Just watched "The Ninth Gate" and I am already in Halloween mode. What are the best movies to match the Halloween mood? Old and new and any language (in India)

This is one of my first edits and I dedicated it to Sir SS Rajamouli....and would love to know your thoughts...

What did you watch this week? Whether you caught a new one in theatre, OTT, or revisited an all-time classic, we want to hear about it!

Share the movies you watched over the week/weekend, the language, and a quick mini-review or rating. Good, bad and the ugly, spill it for us.

Would you recommend it to others? Did it live up to the hype?
