We talk about Rajni’s films from 2010-2019. And what the future holds. We don’t agree to disagree on whether he turned the tables, set a trend, move to doing different films or did template roles. Also should Rajni retire?

We talk about Mani Ratnam’s Iruvar, which, in our view is the only honest political film made in India. Based upon the life of real life stalwarts MGR and Karunanidhi, Iruvar is a masterpiece in storytelling, acting, visuals and music.
A solid array of actors and performances brings a classic real-life rivalry alive on the screen.

References to incidents/scenes in Iruvar to real-life history
Anandan being shot at the end of Aayirathil Naan Oruvan song – reference to MGR shot by MR Radha
“Girija Rani” – at the end of “Hello Mister Edhirkatchi” song, Delhi Ganesh refers to this heroine already having acted with Anandan in his last 3 films. This is most likely a reference to Saroja Devi who acted with MGR in 3 films prior to Aayirathil Oruvan (Enga Veetu Pillai, Thaayin Madiyil, Padagotti)
Anandan arresting Tamizh Selvam – most likely reference to arrest of Karunanidhi during Emergency
