Iruvar
Listen at Spotify, Google and Apple.
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
May Maadham
Listen at Spotify, Google and Apple.
We talk about how May Madham, that released 25 years back, is a rom com that was way ahead of its times.Wacky, cheeky and funny. Scintillating music by ARR that will still enthral you.
Highlights of the film – ‘punny’ dialogues by Crazy Mohan, beautiful visuals by PC Sreeram and solid secondary performances by Manorama, Sundararajan, PC Ramakrishna and Anand Krishnamoorthi.

Aayirathil Oruvan
Listen at Spotify, Google and Apple.
We talk about a cult classic in Tamil cinema, that still makes its fans amaze and despair. Could have been a classic, a magnum opus, but teetered off into an ‘Icarious’ like, yet fantastic attempt.
