Sasi’s Pichaikkaran (aka Beggar) has a very melodramatic plot-line. A rich businessman’s mother falls into coma after an accident and the doctors don’t give much hope. The rich guy seeks a holy man’s advice, who advises him to live the life of a beggar for 48 days. It’s too cruel to be a revenge entertainer and totally debased to be the alleged social-message movie. There is no heavy commercialization: like forced romance and bland comedy tracks. Some may call the acting a bit amateurish, but that doesn’t affect the feel of the movie. The four college students in the story have a realistic character sketch. But the stodgy, brutal violence employed in the final act mars the film’s efficiency. There are a lot of admirable factors in Vijay Kumar’s micro-budget debut feature Uriyadi. Although like many other young Tamil filmmakers Vijay Kumar has chosen ‘college’ as the primary setting, he has actually tried to deal with a volatile subject. 24 deserves a mention, possibly for not being a totally irritating star vehicle.ĭirector: Vijay Kumar Image Source: In fact, despite the shiny production values, the script doesn’t rise from the inherent mediocrity. Nevertheless, the high-octane parts of the film were visualized well and enjoyable. If only Vikram Kumar used the masala elements in a sensible manner (the romance and sentiment), it could have been this year’s Indru Netru Naalai.

I wouldn’t say Surya has re-invented himself or that 24 is a wonderful sci-fi thriller in Tamil cinema. Read the Tamil version of this article here: இறைவி – விசாரணை வரை – 2016இன் 15 சிறந்த தமிழ்த் திரைப்படங்கள்ĭirectors: Alphonse Putharen, Shameer Sultan, Mohit Mehra, Lokesh Kanagaraj, Guru Smaran Image Source: Īviyal is the second anthology of Tamil short films, released by director Karthik Subburaj’s Bench Talkies. Although the shorts don’t have great production values, the audacity of these young film-makers to approach distinct subjects makes it a commendable effort. Alphonse Puthran’s Eli aka Rat (made in 2011, starring Nivin Pauly) is my favorite among the four short films. The performances are uniformly great, especially the charming lead performers in the first short. For now, here are my picks of the 15 best Tamil movies released in 2016: I hope 2017, which has in store directorial projects of Ram, Thyagarajan Kumararaja, Mysskin, Mani Ratnam, Vetri Maran, and Shankar, turns out even more exciting. Actor Vijay Sethupathi and directors Vetrimaaran and Manikandan are the saviors of this year.
Yet, in 2016, Tamil cinema has delivered some good entertainers and meaningful projects. It celebrated mediocrity, while fine filmmakers struggled to get green light for their truly distinct projects. In 2016, Tamil cinema delivered the usual disappointments from major stars and promising directors. Tamil cinema is faring well despite all the off-screen turf wars and insipid star projects.
