  • Ee Ma Yau

    We talk about the brilliant black comedy on death and how it affects Eeshi, the eldest son of Vavachan, his family and the entire village.

    Death, dark humour, friendship, and family – we agreed that we have never seen a movie like this before.

  • Rajni - Retirement?

    We talk about Rajni’s films from 2010-2019. And what the future holds. We don’t agree to disagree on whether he  turned the tables, set a trend, move to doing different films or did template roles. Also should Rajni retire?

  • Kumbalangi Nights

    We talk about the emotional story of a truly broken family coming together. Kumbalangi Nights asks questions about masculinity – is it being an alpha male or being a good man?

    Definitely in the top 10 across all films in 2019.

  • Ulidavaru Kandanthe

    We talk about the 2014 neo-noir crime drama anthology film, The story of a gangster’s murder in a small, sleepy fishing town near Mangalore. Refreshingly original, neo-noir, new age Kannada cinema with pop culture references ranging from Pulp Fiction to Agneepath.

  • Iruvar
    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.

  • Ondu Motteya Kathe

    We talk about the 2017 Kannada movie – a very realistic portrayal of an average Indian male’s struggles through arranged marriage, finding love, his hypocrisies and the eventual happy ending.

    Probably the only Indian movie which stars an actual bald man (!) as the hero.

  • Iruvar - Honest Political Blockbuster
    Podcast #3 in the Marupadiyum Podcast series.
    We talk about Mani Ratnam's Iruvar (1997), in our view, 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.
    Tune in to listen to our discussion on how a solid array of actors and performances brought a classic real-life rivalry alive on the screen.
    References in the film to actual incidents are listed out in the blog below:

  • May Madham

    We talk about how May Madham, that released 25 years back, is a rom com that was way ahead of its times. 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.
