OTTMost of the south films that released on Ott platforms directly have received a lukewarm response from viewers, who are spoilt for choice. Sowmya RajendranWhen producers announced that they were going to skip theatrical release and go in for direct Ott streaming, theatre owners were up in arms about the decision. They were unhappy that films that could draw in crowds once the lockdown ended were bypassing them. However, four months since the closure of theatres, most of the films that released on Ott platforms have received a lukewarm response from viewers. The first south Indian film, not counting the offbeat indie film Sethum Aayiram Pon, to have a direct Ott release in this period was the long delayed Rk Nagar in Tamil. The film came out briefly on Netflix in December last year but was removed. It quietly re-released on April 29. However, the insipid comedy with Vaibhav in the...

EntertainmentSome of these remakes may have been successful at the box-office but they fall short of capturing the spirit of the original. Tnm StaffThe Telugu remake of Malayalam film Maheshinte Prathikaaram released on Netflix on Thursday.

ReviewThis Telugu remake of the Fahadh Faasil starrer ‘Maheshinte Prathikaaram’ retains the spirit of the original. Sowmya RajendranIn a world of heroes pumped up with testosterone and looking to seek revenge for the smallest of insults came the gentle Mahesh of Maheshinte Prathikaaram in 2016. It was a turning point of sorts for Malayalam cinema where the success of the film saw the emergence of many more narratives that examined masculinity. The Telugu remake of the film, Uma Maheswara Ugra Roopasya, directed by Venkatesh Maha, released on Netflix on Thursday. It’s a tough act to follow the original Dileesh Pothan directorial, even more so because it stars Fahadh Faasil, one of the finest actors in the country today. However, Venkatesh Maha does not disappoint. This is a director who understands the soul of a small town, as was evident in his first film, the wonderfully made C/o Kancharapalem. So, even...
