Thoughts on Indian 2



Oh. My. God.


Indian 2 is quite frankly the most abysmal brainrot I have come across in some time.

When Annatthe came out, I thought no one, I mean no one, could make a movie this bad or worse than this. Cut to 2024, Shankar proved me wrong ( It may not be as bad as Annatthe but I am biased af).


The director who made Enthiran, Sivaji, and Anniyan; the actor who did Virumandi, Hey Ram, and Thevar Magan; the cinematographer who shot Ponniyin Selvan and Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, and the composer who scored Master, Petta, and Thiruchitrambalam came together to make a sequel to a 30 year old superhit movie.


I mean, I too would have invested in this if I had a shitton of money. Don’t worry Lyca, it’s not your fault. 


What I am confused about is, how the hell Shankar convinced Kamal to do this movie. Shankar must be either good at gaslighting or he has nudes of Kamal.


So, what’s the story of Indian 2?


You would be amazed to know the plot.


Spoilers ahead


To put it in one line, four YouTubers convince Sena thatha to come back and tell him to go back when they learn actions have consequences.


The movie opens with people committing suicide as a result of government officers getting bribes. So what Indians did 30 years ago had no effect. 


The movie vastly blows out of proportion what is actually doable through social media. There is a scene where one of these YouTubers arrives first in a crime scene and when the police tell him to leave, he says “I'm social media” and the cops let him stay. The cops take a step back in fact. Like. Bro. I don't like using informal language in the blog but seriously man what the hell? This is pure insta influencer delulu.


These 4 Youtubers try their best to bring a positive change but fail. So they call out the hunting dog.


How?


#comebackIndian


That’s how.


When something doesn’t work out, a smart person would try a different method. However, our Sena thatha isn’t that smart, is he?


Sena thatha comes back.


When Sena thatha started an Instagram live and said “inga lanjam mattum prechana illa,” I was like, “Ah, finally Shankar realised that bribes are not the only problem and will talk about social injustice, etc.” 


How naive am I?


To my surprise, Thatha said, ”Oozhal nadakuthu. Unga veetla lanjam vaangruvangala kaati kudunga.”



That’s it. After that point, till the climax, they show how these YouTubers collect evidence against their relatives and send them to jail.


Seriously, this whole movie could have been a montage song.


And as I said, after these Youtubers realise their actions have consequences (surprise, surprise!!), they tell Sena thatha to sod off.


How do they do that?


#gobackIndian


That’s how.


Bobby Simha, who came to arrest Sena thatha shows that #gobackIndian is trending, so you don’t have a place here. Like, bro, he is a freaking murderer. He has no place regardless of the hashtag (I feel physically uncomfortable discussing hashtags seriously in a movie review). Just arrest him.


Shankar doubles down on his problematic themes.


In this movie, when Sena thatha hits someone with his varma kalai, they are forced to do something like sing till death, run till death, etc. (yes, they made a mockery out of varma kalai).


In the first scene of Sena thatha, he hits someone, and the guy turns gay. The two girls who were with this guy got disgusted and ran.


Seriously, Shankar?


In a society where already homosexuals don’t have a place, you choose to show this.


Direction, cinematography, performances, music, nothing worked in this movie.


I won’t blame Anirudh, though. Even God can’t make good music for this movie. ARR didn't dodge a bullet, he dodged an entire missile by not scoring for this movie. If he had scored for this, it would have caused irreparable damage to his reputation (yes, worse than Cobra. Yeah, that bad).


Almost forgot to mention the Krishnaswamy character. 


They CGIed the hell out of him.


He legit looked like a jumping ball made out of clay. It was funny af.


Here are some of my favourite dialogues from the movie:


“Natta vittu poyum not out ah irukara”


“Karmam illa varmam”


“Nee saptathala gundaagala pala per sabathala gundaairka”


“Pallula nallathane iruku en bokka nu solra”


“Thatha ku thillu irukunu theriyum pallu irukunu theriyuma”


“Nee potruka 50 pavunla 40 pavun vera yaartho ma” (Katthi reference, I guess).


I don't know who wrote the dialogues but never write again.


Finally, I want to say something to Shankar.

GO BAAAAACCKKKKKK!!!!!

Aviyal's Thoughts on Kanguva

  Here is our review with some ignorable spoilers. There is a scene where a boy cries looking at something. Another adult character comes near him and sees the boy is looking at a mother bird feeding her hatchlings, which reminds him of his dead mother. Understanding this, the adult also starts crying. If you are done cringing, let’s analyse the movie a little. The title card copied the same as Vijay in Goat but zero impact with terrible music. Cinematography is the worst at places. For example, in the same scene, when they show different characters in separate frames, the color of the forest changes. Edit cuts are terrible, as sometimes it seems like what the heck are we watching. They said the movie is made on a huge budget, and Surya is not a big hero who eats up half of the budget as salary, but still, CGI is at worst⁠ even in a scene where they toss a wine bottle. And about the crocodile scene, it was poorly shot and worked. They could’ve cut it off as it was just a filler....

Aviyal's Top 5 Movies of 2024

  No, no, no, no, it is never too late to make a top 5 movies of 2024 list. I am actually angry with every Tamil movie released in 2024. I mean, for the first six months there was nothing, and all of a sudden great movies came out week after week. I was legit broke at a point. Plan better, guys.  2024 was a great year for Tamil cinema. It is true that we saw duds like G.O.A.T, but on the other hand, we got really really good movies. Let’s make a top 5 list of 2024. Before getting to the list, remember that this is one person’s opinion. If you don’t see your favorite movie on the list, it doesn’t mean it is a bad movie. I just prefer these 5 movies.  Sheesh, the amount of disclaimers we have to give in 2025. Kannism ruined everything. Anyway, here’s the list: 5. Lubber Panthu Lubber Panthu came out of the syllabus. No one knew about this movie. It randomly came out one day and became one of the most successful movies of 2024. What I loved about Lubber Panthu is that every ...

ஏன்?

  சூரியன் மிகவும் கோபமாக  இருந்த ஒரு மே மாதத்தின் ஞாயிற்றுக் கிழமை அன்று. கார்திக் புதிதாக வாங்கிய சோபாவில் அமர்ந்து அண்ணாந்து ஃபேன்ஐ பார்த்து  கொண்டு இருந்தான். அது என்னவோ தெரியவில்லை மே மாததில் மட்டும் ஃபேன்கள் தங்கள் முழு உழைபைப் போட்டு வேலை செய்தாலும் திட்டத்தான் தோணும். கார்திக்கும் அதைதான் செய்து கொண்டிருந்தான்.  தன் வீட்டு ஃபேன்ஐ மட்டுமில்லாமல் சூரியனையும் சேர்த்து சபித்தான்.  கார்திக் ஒரு ஐடி ஊழியன். ஐடி கம்பெனி  என்றால் சினிமாவில் காட்டுவதுபோல் பெரிய கம்பெனி ஒன்றும் இல்லை. ஓரு இருபது பேர் இருப்பார்கள். 12 ஆண்கள் 7 பெண்கள் அந்த பெண்களை தொல்லை செய்யும் ஒரு மேனேஜர் அவ்வளவுதான்.  “5 மினிட்ஸ்ங்க  ” என்று கிச்சன்க்குள்ளிருந்து ஒரு குரல் வந்தது. சுமதி கணவனுக்கு பிடித்த சிக்கன் சமைத்து கொண்டிருந்தாள். உடலெல்லாம் வியர்வை. ஆனால் அதைப்பற்றி அவளுக்கு கொஞ்சமமும் கவலையில்லை. தன்னவனுக்காக சமைக்கின்றோம் என்கிற ஒரு சந்தோஷம்.         கல்யாணம் முடிந்து  ஒரு மாதம் ஆகியிருந்தது. பத்து நாள் ஹனிமூனில் மூணாரை சுற்றி...
