But is mediocrity the legacy they want to leave behind?Sowmya RajendranScreengrabsThe release of Ajith’s Thunivu and Vijay’s Varisu for Pongal was a highly anticipated box-office battle.

Cinema The move marks a shift to newer avenues for film promotions in Malayalam. Sreedevi JayarajanSeveral promotional clips of ChathurMukham, Manju Warrier's recently released techno-horror film, show her interacting with popular Malayalam YouTubers. In one of the videos, she creates quite a buzz by riding pillion with a vlogger who owns the channel 'Mallu Traveler'. ChathurMukham has won critical acclaim for ditching conventional horror film tropes and delivering a new-age storyline focused on smartphones, selfies and the internet. But it isn’t just the storyline that is distinct, the film also took a unique route with its promotions.

ReviewDirected by debutant Buchi Babu Sana, Uppena stars newcomers Panja Vaishnav Tej and Krithi Shetty in the lead roles while Vijay Sethupathi plays the antagonist.Balakrishna GaneshanContent warning: This film has extreme violence. How often does a film rely on one big twist? Well, Uppena (meaning high tide in Telugu), the debut film of director Buchi Babu Sana, banks on one extremely violent and disturbing twist. If inspiration from Malayalam and Tamil films resulted in the creation of Colour Photo, Buchi Babu’s Uppena seems to have crossed international boundaries and taken inspiration from South Korean films involving deeply distressing scenes. (I felt thankful that the director did not explicitly show this disturbing scene.) Uppena stars newcomers Panja Vaishnav Tej and Krithi Shetty in the lead roles with Vijay Sethupathi playing the antagonist. While Vaishnav struggles in his role, Krithi impresses with her performance. Vijay Sethupathi is menacing, to put it mildly.

Before this cult song, however, there was 'Kanmaniye' that featured S Janaki and Sp Balasubrahmanyam in a one-breath pallavi (intro), perhaps as a warm-up before Ilayaiaraaja and Balasubrahmanyam teamed up for the former. Thanks to standup comedian Alex, many got to know about this song and some even participated in his #KanmaniyeChallenge that he started a couple of weeks ago.

KollywoodHow many of you '90s kids had a Baby Shalini haircut when growing up?Anjana ShekarCinema is a hot box of trends. Quite often it influences what you wear, how you speak and also how you behave. If you were to go through your old photo albums, you’d find that knowingly or unknowingly you've added a certain type of clothing or a piece of accessory to your wardrobe, inspired from what you saw on the big screen. The latest ‘’96 Janu kurta’ craze is example enough, with the number of women draping their dupatta around their neck growing exponentially after the film. In that sense, cinema only brings into the forefront what’s already present and what’s implementable - no one’s wearing Aishwarya Rai’s feathered headdress that she wore for the ‘Kilimanjaro’ song in Enthiran! But cinema inspiring fashion trends isn’t something new and it isn’t permanent either.

TV ShowsModelled on 'The Bachelor', this Tamil reality TV show has actor Arya as the celebrity groom.Tnm StaffFacebook/ AryaThe growing popularity of reality TV shows in Tamil, following Bigg Boss Tamil’s success, is now leading its audiences to consume more such content (read ‘directly voyeuristic’). And in its wake comes Arya’s Enga Veetu Mapillai. The show borrows heavily from the American reality TV show - The Bachelor, that first aired in 2002, but the idea, however, is not completely new to Indian television. The Bachelorette - Mere Khayalonki Malika that aired in 2013 featured actor Mallika Sherawat looking for her life partner on the reality TV programme. The show, however, had its share of controversy when it was aired. Colors Tamil successfully launched itself this week, with its first reality TV show Enga Veetu Mapillai. The show has Arya hunting for his “bride-to-be” among 16 prospective participants, a few coming from different countries. The show, the first episode of which aired on February 20, is being hosted by actor Sangeetha Krish. The prelude to Enga Veetu Mapillai came first in November last year when Arya put out a video addressing his fans and prospective partners. In it, he confirmed that he was indeed looking for a partner to settle down and that the “leaked” video from the gym was true. In the video he says, “Generally, people look for their life partner through their friends, family, or through matrimonial sites. But I am not like that. I don’t have any demands or conditions. If you like me, and if you think I will make a good life partner, please call – 7330173301. This is not a joke or a prank. This is my life matter, please call at this number. Waiting for your call.” And Sangeetha revealed on the show that they had close to 70,000 verification calls and 8000 online applications. Read: Actor Arya in search for a bride, asks 'Are you the one?' in video The show began on Tuesday with the introduction of contestants - 16 of them in all. Dressed in elaborate sarees and lehengas, the ladies, one after the other, walked down the red carpet. From a college student to a radiation therapist, with a couple of them aged as young as 20, the contestants came up onstage to declare their love for Arya - the show’s ultimate "prize". With palace themed decor and participants coming in their Cinderella-type chariots the show packed in all the elements required for a fairy-tale setting. True enough, the first few episodes have been shot at the Jaipur Palace, we learn. Over the period of this show, Arya will date all the women, before zeroing in on one to “tie the knot”. From quirky expressions and hand-made gifts to women getting down on their knees, the show promises to be a drama-dose already. Thirty minutes into the first episode, it begins to dissect female emotions, playing loud on their disappointed faces - are they jealous? Is she crying?. There’s also no dearth of cheesy lines, with all of them milling around to impress Arya. Just three episodes in, it might be too soon to gauge the audience's responses yet but it's likely that the organisers will keep the show as high on the melodrama as possible to keep viewers hooked. Are such shows regressive or is reality TV so unreal these days that we really shouldn't bother analysing them? For now, viewers are busy picking their favourite contestants and watching the game as it plays out. Will we see a new Oviya? Maybe!

KollywoodA viral clip of Sun Music VJs making fun of Suriya's height had led to much abuse and outrage on social media.Tnm StaffA video of two women VJs from Sun Music making fun of actor Suriya's height on a TV show had sparked much outrage on social media. Fans of the actor, mostly from Erode and Namakkal, gathered outside the Sun TV office in Chennai, protesting the remarks made by the anchors. The Sun Music show Franka Sollata had anchors Niveditha and Sangeetha commenting that it would be difficult for Suriya to act with Amitabh Bachchan because of the difference in height between the two. The video clip was shared by several on social media, including prominent members of the Tamil film industry. Actor Suriya has now broken his silence on the issue. On Saturday, the actor tweeted in Tamil that people should not lower themselves by responding to criticism which was below the belt. "Please use your time and energy for productive purposes. Let society benefit," he said. Suriya also used the hashtag #AnbaanaFans, making it clear that he was addressing his fans through the message. தரம் தாழ்ந்த விமர்சனங்களுக்கு எதிர்வினையாற்றி நம் தரத்தை நாம் குறைத்துகொள்ள வேண்டாம். உங்களின் நேரத்தையும், சக்தியையும் பயனுள்ள செயல்களுக்கு செலவிடுங்கள். சமூகம் பயன் பெற. #AnbaanaFans — Suriya Sivakumar (@Suriya_offl) January 20, 2018 The viral clip was shared by actor Vishal, the President of the Producers' Council and the General Secretary of the Nadigar Sangam, as well as producers like Sr Prabhu and Gnanavel Raja. Although the body shaming was rightly slammed by many, several users directed vitriolic abuse towards the two women. Fan rage is common on social media and the situation often escalates to rape and even death threats when any criticism is levied at a popular star. In the past, actors like Vijay and Ajith have come forward to issue statements after instances of abuse done in their name. Suriya's quick response to the situation has been lauded by many. The actor has always asked his fans not to deify him and to put their time and energies to good use for other purposes. The tweet is in line with his messages to fans over the years.
