Thaakkal solla vandhen | tami... 

In this episode, I review Methagu, the bio-pic of LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran. The long-awaited film that finally had an OTT release. The film is analysed on its writing aspects and technical aspects. Also, I've discussed the freedom of expression persisting in the film industry right now and how it is partial in nature.

In this episode, I speak about how explored the theme, writing and technicalities of Vaazhl movie, written and directed by Arun Prabu Purushothaman, produced by Siva Karthikeyan. Likewise, I've also talked about the problems in representing/misrepresenting various classes of people based on caste or economy. For that, I've explained what kind of misinterpretation people have when watching films of Gautham Vasudev Menon. I've used illustrations like Karnan, Attakaththi, Indra, Neethaane En Ponvasantham, Minnale and Pachaikili Muthucharam as examples.

In this episode, I speak about how the evolved versions of the three-act structure of screenwriting, namely five-act and six-act structures, are written to engage the audience better. I've illustrated the six-act with real-time examples in the Tamil film industry like Vijay's Master directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and Vishnu Vishal's Indru Netru Naalai directed by Ravikumar. Likewise, I've also talked about the five-act with Queen web series written by Reshma and directed by Gautham Vasudev and Prasath Murugesan.

In this episode, I am talking about how relevant is the word 'HERO' today with our films and their screenplays. Also, I have walked down the timeline of Indian cinema on why this word hero is in popular culture and why it needs to be changed now in the era of so-called women-centric and story-centric films.
