36/40, #Lockdownenrichmentforthesoul, Tamil Movie Recommendation

Autograph, 2004, Thavamai Thavamirundhu 2005, Pokkisham, 2009, Cheran

In the next five days, intend to focus on important film makers and films that I may have left out in this series

Between 2000 and 2010, Cheran strode like a colossus in the Tamil Cinema.

Besides the above three he made equally moving films like Porkalam, Bharathi Kannama and Pandavar Bhoomi.

Cheran was ever socially conscious, and aimed for the heart.

Autograph was a clarion call for the youngsters to get hold of themselves and fight.

Thavamai Thavamirundhu could pass of as an ode to Ramayana and the father. I looked forward to Thavamai Thavamirundhu when it was released in 2005 and saw it Albert on the first day first show. It took of from the first frame and you had a moist eye all along the three hours and twenty four minutes of the film.

Pokkisham was truly a Pokkisham (treasure). It is not easy to adapt Bridges of the Madison County. It is probably a great tragedy, that Pokkisham was not accepted at the box office. Pokkisham was all poetry, and one of the most underrated GEMS of unrequited love. 

Cheran, will always remain in the hearts of cinema lovers as one of the greatest talent of Tamil Cinema, who could have made atleast 5 good films between 2010 to 2020.
