I have been watching a lot of Tamil movies off late, which is not new. But here are the new things about these movies, none of them have a super hero or a great actor in it nor is it directed by a famous director. There have been at least a dozen movies that I have seen with good plot and different stories. The ones that stood out were Mozhi, Kaloori and Anjathey.
Well one may argue that Mozhi had Jyotika and Prkash Raj, but honestly it was a great movie where one single actor did not stand out, but the entire team had to be lauded. Kaloori was very serious and tragic movie but the director actually made real amateurs act. That movie had at least 5-6 people in front of camera for the first time and with all probability acting for the first time as well. Anjathey was a very decent movie with a relatively amateur cast and for sure a strong script.
If Tamil cinema is moving, one should say that it really moving strong. A lot has to be told about the producers who are prepared to give these directors the chance to make movies which has low investment but high risk as well. Coming from an industry which has always thrived because of its super stars, this is surely a welcome change.
