Our Picks from Q3 2015 : Tamil Films

The third quarter of 2015 began with reassurance to the industry & the hero of Papanasam, the remake of the popular Malayalam film Drishyam, which turned out to be a wholesome treat. Close on its heels came SS Rajmouli's epic Baahubali (whose Tamil version was more of a remake than a mundane dub!). With the two films setting the quarter engine revving, there had to be a few big duds to bring the heat down and those came in the form of the drab trio of Maari, Vaalu & VSOP. Then came the surprise film of the year - Thani Oruvan - which helped Jayam Ravi wash away the sins of his other pedestrian outing & we can't thank Raja enough for getting us the ever-so-charming Arvind Swami back in an uber cool villainous avatar. The quarter ended on a sound note with critics lapping up the National Award winning Kuttram Kadithal & the fans giving their thumbs-up to the awkwardly titled adult comedy Trisha Illanaa Nayantara whose whopping collection would have surprised its hero GV Prakash himself!

Interview with Bramma, Director of Kuttram Kadithal – Part 1

Bramma’s journey into film making came across through his participation in the Inter-collegiate South Zone Culturals events during his stint of pursuing a B.Sc. degree in Physics from Loyola and his entry into Kollywood Mainstream Cinema is even more fascinating. On a day in 2012 when he resigned a job, he was asked the question, “What next?” at a Tea Shop by his friend Christy, for which he did not have a clear answer. When asked if he could make a film at a low budget, he replied in the affirmative without hesitating one bit. That was how Kuttram Kadithal, the National Award winning film, up for release next week, was born!
