“I prefer Kaththi to Thuppakki.” Many films entertain us. Some educate us. A handful really affect us. Kaththi was a rare film that was able to do all three at once. And so, for this month’s Flashback episode on my channel, director Murugadoss revisits what is arguably his finest collaboration with actor, and now Chief Minister, Vijay. Together, we peel back the layers of a film that continues to remain relevant in both form and content. If Kaththi has meant something to you over the years, I think you’ll really, really enjoy this conversation. Premieres at Tomorrow 3 PM.

“My hero elevation lyrics are never at the expense of the story or character.” Lyricist Vivek, the man behind songs like Aalaporaan Thamizhan, Kaarkuzhal Kadavaiye, Karuppi, Marana Mass, Kanimaa, Raavana Mavanda… talks about his process, protecting the Tamil language, writing on phones, and preserving integrity even while writing for stars. Totally enjoyed this conversation, learned a lot, and came away promising myself I’ll pay more attention to song lyrics hereafter.

“A senior filmmaker’s team wondered why I got the Suriya film!” Karuppu. Suriya. Delays. Craft. A song that won’t feature in the film. And of course, life advice too. RJ Balaji is all wit and humour in this next episode of 60 Minutes with Sudhir. Vandhurunga! #rjbalaji #suriya #karuppu #sudhirsrinivasan #trisha #saiabhyankkar

A lonely middle-aged man. A young woman. A village. A coracle drifting in the river. And a film that Tamil cinema is still debating nearly four decades later. In the wake of Bharathiraja’s passing, CS Amudhan and I revisit Muthal Mariyathai: its romance, its humanity, its contradictions, its controversial politics, its cinematic flourishes, and of course, Ilaiyaraaja’s breathtaking music that's still a part of us. For one of us, it’s an absolutely great film. For the other, it’s an absolutely great film with an asterisk. Come, watch this Flashback conversation tomorrow. (C. S. Amudhan, Bharathiraja, Muthal Mariyathai, Sudhir Srinivasan)

Pardon this indulgence, will you? In a role reversal of sorts, Arjun Das asks me the questions, and I get a taste of how answering them is often harder than asking them. But seriously, Arjun is a total sport: he is curious, thoughtful, and genuinely interested in my process of critiquing films and conversing with people. This latest episode celebrates one year of my YouTube channel. And this time, it’s 60 Minutes with Arjun ft. Sudhir Srinivasan. (Sudhir Srinivasan, Arjun Das)

“The flower seller is god outside the temple.” Raichal Rabecca has been quietly illuminating some recent great films (Thaai Kezhavi, Meiyazhagan, Kadaisi Vivasayi…), and of course, I brought her in for a long conversation.
