Lal Salaam movie review: Aishwarya Rajinikanth back with a bang

Lal salaam movie review: rajinikanth essays beautifully the dual role of a father and a community leader..

Lal Salaam movie review: Rajinikanth's film was one of the most anticipated films of 2024 for several reasons. Firstly, it sees director Aishwarya Rajinikanth back in action after eight years, and more importantly, she directs her father Superstar Rajinikanth as well. Lal Salaam, also starring Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth, is a story that revolves around cricket and religion and how people in a village politicise a popular sport. (Also Read – Aishwarya Rajinikanth interview: ‘Working with Appa in Lal Salaam was a masterclass’ )

Lal Salaam movie review: Rajinikanth plays Moideen bhai, a Muslim leader, in Lal Salaam

Thiru (Vishnu Vishal) and Moideen bhai’s (Rajinikanth) son Shamsuddin (Vikranth) have been rivals since they were kids and this spills over to the cricket field as well in their village. The Three Star team, started by Moideen bhai, was a winning team with both Thiru and Shamsu playing, but those jealous of Thiru’s success and with ulterior motives push him out of the team. Thiru creates the rival MCC team and the two teams end up representing different religions (Hindus and Muslims) in the village. Thus, the matches end up being called India vs Pakistan in the village, which was living in peaceful harmony earlier.

Now, Moideen bhai lives in Mumbai with his family and it is his dream to see Shamsu, an excellent cricket player, play for India one day. But one match in the village becomes a turning point in Thiru and Shamsu’s life and changes everything. What happens to the two men? Does Shamsu play for India finally? Does Moideen bhai put an end to the boys’ rivalry and the village’s Hindu-Muslim conflict?

The first half of Lal Salaam revolves around the village, its people and the relationship between Hindus and Muslims there. It also sets up the rivalry between Thiru and Shamsu. It’s in the second half that the pace really picks up and we see Rajinikanth unleash his power-packed performance.

It is interesting to see Rajinikanth play Moideen bhai, a Muslim leader, on screen. Some of the dialogues given to him clearly exhibit his personal beliefs and are quite meaningful in today’s times. They are goosebumps-inducing moments, in fact.

In one scene, for instance, Moideen bhai says, “India is for Indians and I am an Indian Muslim. I was born here and I will die here. This is my home. We should not talk about caste or religion but humanity, and humanity is above all. Jai Hind.” Humanity above all is an aspect the Superstar has spoken about in real life as well.

That apart, Rajinikanth essays beautifully the dual role of a father, who has aspirations for his son, and a community leader, who believes that all people are one irrespective of religion or caste. He is measured in his actions and even the fight scenes are not over-the-top. Rajinikanth is the backbone of Lal Salaam.

Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth have essayed their roles well and are very natural as cricketers since they play cricket in real life as well. Their roles also have a graph and they have delivered. AR Rahman’s music is a value add for the film, combining both local elements and Sufi elements to showcase the two different religions.

Director Aishwarya Rajinikanth has made a film that is relevant in today’s political and social climate. She has come back to cinema with a bang and this movie will definitely be talked about. The story could have been written better by Vishnu Rangasamy – some plot points are not clearly explained and some scenes could have been edited out as they bring down the mood of the film.

Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s Lal Salaam is a social drama with a message. And the audience will love Rajinikanth as Moideen bhai and hopefully, they’ll take back home and to heart what he says on screen. Humanity above all.

‘Ponniyin Selvan: Part One’ Review: Promising Tamil Franchise Kicks Off With Faithful Take on a Literary Classic

Director Mani Ratnam's blockbuster adaptation of Indian author Kalki Krishnamurthy’s bestselling series of historical novels launches the beloved tale on a suitably massive scale.

Ponniyin Selvan: Part One

Tamil filmmaking legend Mani Ratnam takes on the formidable task of adapting Indian bestseller “Ponniyin Selvan” as a two-part epic, the first of which released to excellent box office at home and abroad on Sept. 29. Streamlining the source material considerably, this impressive franchise starter — co-written by Ratnam, Jayamohan and Kumaravel — remains mostly faithful to Kalki Krishnamurthy’s five novels, first serialized in the 1950s in the Tamil magazine Kalki before being translated into multiple other languages, including English.

Popular on Variety

Vandiyadevan soon falls in with a religious man, Azhwarkadiyan Nambi (Jayaram), another spy who also provides some comic relief. Together, they discover a plot to take the crown from the ailing king Sundara Chola and give it to his nephew, who had been passed over. Among those trying to use Vandiyadevan is the beautiful Nandini ( Aishwariya Rai Bachchan ), who uses her looks to get her husband, commander Chinna Pazhuvettariyar (R. Parthiban).

Things get more involved as the film goes along, of course, but Ratnam keeps the different strands moving at a fast enough pace so that you don’t notice the nearly three-hour running time. Nor does it matter that the titular Ponniyan Selvan doesn’t make an appearance until nearly the intermission.

DP Ravi Varman does justice to the sweep of the story, while CG battle scenes are staged like set-pieces from the “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, a comparison underscored by Rahman’s soaring music. The below-the-line work is top-notch throughout — not just with camera and music, but also in the production design (Thotta Tharani). The Cholas were famous for the temples they built, with the Thanjavur temple standing even now as a testament to their artistry.

Augmented with excellent visual effects, sets representing the city of Thanjavur, the new city of Kanchi and Sri Lanka, bring to life Kalki’s prose that enchanted so many readers. Similarly fine attention to detail went into the costume design, hair and makeup, as well as the jewelry (pieces of which are now offered on sale) for not only the princes and other nobles but also the ladies from Nandini to the princess Kundavai (Trisha Krishnan).

Ratnam has always had a knack for drawing out the best performances from Rai Bachchan (with whom he collaborated on “Iruvar,” “Guru” and “Raavanan”), doing so once again in the star’s first screen role since 2018, even if her dialogue is spoken by Deepa Venkat. In the role of Vandiyadevan, Karthi brings exuberant action to the film; Ravi charms as Arunmozhi; and Vikram and Parthiban exhibit dangerous intent. Rai Bachchan is suitably scheming, as is Krishnan as the princess who only cares about the Chola kingdom and is jealous (with reason) of Nandini’s beauty and ability to beguile.

The film ends on a cliffhanger. While not yet shot, Part Two has been announced and is expected to be released in 2023.

new movie review tamil

In what is touted as one of the high points of Tamil cinema in 2023, Ajith Kumar’s Thunivu has clashed with Vijay’s Varisu at the box office. Trade experts predict a box office war this week between the two films. The two actors, Ajith and Vijay, are superstars in their own right, and it will be interesting to see how the two films will fare at the box office.

Thunivu is a heist thriller that has Ajith essaying the role of a bank robber. The trailer had him taking a bank hostage and demanding a huge sum. Unlike his previous ventures, Ajith seems to be playing a grey character in the film. It also stars actors Manju Warrier, John Kokken, and Samuthirakani. The movie has music by Ghibran.

Watch the trailer of Ajith Kumar’s Thunivu here:

The director of Thunivu, H Vinoth had earlier told indianexpress.com , “Thunivu is a multi-genre film with songs, comedy, fights, and everything you expect from a commercial film. To put it one line, it is a game of the wicked.” Thunivu marks Vinoth and Ajith’s third collaboration. The actor-director duo have earlier worked together in Nekronda Paarvai and Valimai.

Thunivu has received a good advance booking in Tamil Nadu . Film trade analyst Ramesh Bala shared on Twitter, “Excellent adv booking for both #Thunivu and #Varisu all over TN.” Speaking about the big box office clash between the two films, he also told Pinkvilla, “It is like Avengers and Avatar’s clash in Hollywood and Salman Khan -Shah Rukh Khan in Bollywood.”

Here are all the latest updates about Ajith's film Thunivu

Thunivu is largely entertaining as long as it stays cold and dark, and as long as Ajith walks, dances, and screams like a maniac. The moment it sobers up, it loses its wicked charm. Read More.

"Hoping to see an interesting and healthy competition between Varisu and Thunivu and the fans of #ThalapathyVijay anna and #ThalaAjith sir!????," Sibi Sathyaraj said via Twitter.

More screens have been added for Ajith-starrer Thunivu in Malaysia.

Varalaxmi Sarathkumar took to Twitter and wrote, "Wishing the whole team of #Thunivu a huge success... all the best to our #thala #ajith sir..and the whole team a blockbuster too.. ???."

Sakshi Agarwal posted on Twitter, "Thalaaaa Vera level ???? Mesmerized ?? #Thunivu."

Varisu actor R Sarath Kumar tweeted, "Enjoy the classic creation of #Thunivu during this festive season. My hearty wishes to team #Thunivu ?????? ????."

Actor Arun Vijay tweeted, "Ajith sir's killer SWAG!!??? A treat for the audience... Action..Screenplay..Perfomance.. Message...???? #Thunivu ???Kudos to #HVinoth and team...??."

Boney Kapoor shared a teaser of Ajith's film and wrote, "#Thunivu is all yours ?? Enjoy the festive season with family and friends??."

As per reports, both films are getting 80-90% occupancy in early shows. But the clash also means a share of the market, so the collections of both films might not be huge. It is a long extended weekend and holiday period so these Pongal releases can take advantage of that but it will depend on how Thunivu and Varisu are received.

A case has been reportedly filed against Vijay and Ajith fans for violating rules in Puducherry. A complaint has been filed against both fans for putting up banners without permission in areas including Annasalai, Thirammalai Adigal road. 10 cases were registered against Vijay and Ajith fans in various police stations.

Ajith and Vijay's movie shows will have the Tamil version of Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham's Pathaan trailer.

#WATCH | Chennai, Tamil Nadu: Fans of actor Ajith Kumar and of actor Vijay burst firecrackers, dance and celebrate outside a movie theatre as they gather to watch the former's #Thunivu and the latter's #Varisu Both films have released on the same day after 8 years. pic.twitter.com/3YKX2gtMRe — ANI (@ANI) January 11, 2023

Both Ajith Kumar and Vijay's fans were seen bursting firecrackers, dancing and celebrating outside a movie theatre as they gathered to watch the films Thunivu and Varisu.

The Ajith fan lost his life during the Thunivu movie celebration in Chennai. ANI reported, "Bharath Kumar, a fan of actor Ajith Kumar, who jumped in excitement from a slow-moving lorry succumbed to injuries on Poonamallee highways near Rohini theatre, Chennai. Case registered. He had come to watch Thunivu film's 1 am show at the theater: Police officials."

A fan @CinemaWithAB tweeted, "Appreciation post for #AjithKumar?? His swag, style, screen presence, dialogue delivery etc...everything excelled with his extraordinary efforts?? Personally felt this is the best performance of #AK in recent years?#Thunivu".

Shows for both Vijay and Ajith's films Varisu and Thunivu, respectively, began at 1 am and 4 am. As the fans gathered in large numbers, police had to lathi-charge at several locations. After Ajith's fans tore down a banner of Vijay's Varisu placed in the theatres, Vijay's fans also tore many banners of Ajith's Thunivu. This has stirred up an on-field battle between both fan clubs, and police officials came in to calm the situation.

Ajith stars in a decent heist film that is weighed down by generic tropes. The setup of Ajith and H Vinoth’s heist film is intriguing, but when the director finally shows all his cards, it’s not the royal flush one would want it to be.

Ramesh Bala shared his view for Thunivu and tweeted, "#Thunivu [4/5] : #AK 's attitude.. Dialogue delivery.. Action.. 360 degree action sequence.. The way he handles guns.. All 3 songs.. More than ticket price worth..Money message is a bonus."

Which movie will you watch on January 11? #Vijay #Ajith — Indian Express Entertainment (@ieEntertainment) January 10, 2023

Ramesh Bala, the box office tracker, says, “If Varisu and Thunivu had come out as a solo release, both the films would have earned about Rs 40 to 45 crore on the opening day in Tamil Nadu, but now, with them coming together, I think each one would earn around Rs 20-25 crore on the first day.” Read More.

Talking to indianexpress.com, H Vinoth shared that Ajith doesn't like his fans promoting his movies. He just wants them to watch his films and enjoy. Vinoth shared, "Ajith is okay with fans doing certain things for fun. But, he believes that they shouldn’t spend all their time just doing such things. He just wants them to watch when a new movie comes out and celebrate it. But, they shouldn’t abuse anyone using a film. Cinema must be just a part of their lives and not life itself." 

Talking about his association with Ajith Kumar, filmmaker H Vinoth told indianexpress.com, "Ajith doesn’t have the airs of a star. He behaves with everyone like a common man. On the sets, he will be like a man next door. We both have a comfortable relationship. We have mutual trust.”

Filmmaker Boney Kapoor, who has co-produced Thunivu, wished that the audience enjoys the film as much as they enjoyed making it. He told DT Next, "I hope you all go to the theaters to watch and enjoy the film as we have enjoyed making the film. I hope the film becomes successful as the team has worked very hard. Ajith and Vinoth have given their best. Manju Warrier has looked glamorous and has given her best. Let's hope everyone's good work is applauded.

The director of Thunivu, H Vinoth shared his two cents on the box office clash between Ajith's film and Vijay's Varisu on Thursday. He told indianexpress.com, "It’s in the hands of the fans to keep it (competition) healthy. Two films are coming out and there is a long holiday for the Pongal festival. People, who have money, can watch both films. Otherwise, they can select one film and watch it."

Film trade expert Ramesh Bala has shared on Twitter that Ajith Kumar's film Thunivu is leading in Tamil Nadu both in terms of screen count and advance bookings. He tweeted, "#Thunivu leads all over TN..Both in screen count and in adv booking.."

The fans of Ajith in the USA are all set for the release of Thunivu. The production house, Lyca Productions shared pictures of promotional vans of the film stationed outside Indian restaurants in Dallas.

USA ?? looks all set for the #THUNIVU ? premiere tomorrow, Jan 10th ?

The Tamil Nadu government has cancelled the 4 am and 5 am shows of Ajith Kumar's Thunivu from January 13 to January 16. Also, the fans of the actor will not be allowed to anoint milk on the banners of the film placed outside the theaters.

Speaking about working with Ajith for five years in a row, H Vinoth told indianexpress.com, "I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. It is pretty comfortable for me, so why not? To put it even more bluntly, the hero is giving me a chance to work with him for this long. So, I took it. Also, with any professional relationship, there will be small arguments and misunderstandings. Sometimes, his suggestions were right and sometimes mine were. But it comes down to trust. The belief that he has in me, and vice versa."

Tamil Movie Rathnam OTT Release Date Revealed?

By Rohan Verma

The Tamil action-drama Rathnam, starring Vishal, premiered in theaters on April 26, 2024. While the movie achieved moderate success at the box office, Vishal’s fans eagerly anticipate its OTT release. Recent reports indicate that the film will make its digital debut roughly a month after its theatrical release.

Rathnam is directed by Hari, marking the third collaboration between the director and Vishal after Thaamirabharani and Poojai. In this film, Vishal plays the titular character Rathnam, while Priya Bhavani Shankar takes on dual roles as Malinga and Loganayagi. The supporting cast includes Samuthirakani as MLA Panner Selvam and Yogi Babu as Moorthy, among others. Produced on an approximately $6 million budget, the film is a joint venture by Stone Bench Films and Zee Studios.

According to the Times of India , Rathnam’s synopsis is as follows: “A fiery young man living near the Andhra border with a strong aversion to those who abuse women embarks on a perilous mission. His objective: to safeguard a young woman, bearing a resemblance to his mother, from the relentless pursuit of a dangerous gang.” To add an engaging backdrop, the makers have filmed Rathnam at various locations, including Trichy, Karaikudi, Vellore, Tirupati, and Chennai.

What is Rathnam’s OTT release date and platform?

Recent reports from 123Telugu suggest that the OTT giant Prime Video has secured the post-theatrical rights for Rathnam . Additionally, it is scheduled for streaming on May 24, 2024 . Furthermore, earlier reports from Telugu Hindustan Times suggest that Netflix has also secured streaming rights for the film. However, official confirmations from both platforms are still pending.

Mark Antony is currently available to stream on Prime Video for those who are eager to watch.
