“I prefer Kaththi to Thuppakki.”

Many films entertain us. Some educate us. A handful really affect us. Kaththi was a rare film that was able to do all three at once.

And so, for this month’s Flashback episode on my channel, director Murugadoss revisits what is arguably his finest collaboration with actor, and now Chief Minister, Vijay. Together, we peel back the layers of a film that continues to remain relevant in both form and content.

If Kaththi has meant something to you over the years, I think you’ll really, really enjoy this conversation.

Premieres at Tomorrow 3 PM.

“This isn’t a cat and mouse game. This is a cat and cat game.”

Heat 2 seems to be finally gathering steam, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale reportedly set to lead Michael Mann’s long-awaited follow-up.

But Gargi director Gautham Ramachandran and I certainly didn’t need a reason to revisit this masterpiece in this month’s episode of Classics with Sudhir.

Premiering today evening.

“Appreciate me for who I am, not how I look.”

Empathy and rage. Parenting and performance. Whales and sharks.

It’s all part of this next episode of 60 Minutes with Sudhir ft. Preity Mukhundhan.

Balan: The Boy is the best film I've seen this year. Strong themes, evocative craft, moving cinema.
So, of course, I had a long conversation with its director, Chidambaram, to analyse and dig into everything that went into the creation of this memorable, memorable film.

“Do critics cry?”
“Why does society take away the right of mothers to be women?”
“There are commercial compromises!”

In this exclusive post-release chat, director Sasi sits with me to analyse his latest film, Nooru Saami, its performances and politics, its sensitivity and subtext.

It’s a delight watching him talk. The interview is coming up this evening. Stay tuned.

A lonely middle-aged man. A young woman. A village. A coracle drifting in the river.
And a film that Tamil cinema is still debating nearly four decades later.

In the wake of Bharathiraja’s passing, CS Amudhan and I revisit Muthal Mariyathai: its romance, its humanity, its contradictions, its controversial politics, its cinematic flourishes, and of course, Ilaiyaraaja’s breathtaking music that's still a part of us.

For one of us, it’s an absolutely great film.
For the other, it’s an absolutely great film with an asterisk.

Come, watch this Flashback conversation tomorrow.

The nature of memory. Gender stereotypes. Bruce Willis. Social media. Gatta Kusthi 2. The strength of mothers.

This conversation with Aishwarya Lekshmi goes wherever it wants to… and we let it. Isn’t that the fun of having a fluid conversation?

The latest episode of 60 Minutes with Sudhir goes live at 5 PM.
