The film, directed by Ahmed, features Jayam Ravi as a cop who is on the hunt for a psychopath killer, played by Rahul Bose. The film also stars Nayanthara, Narain, Ashish Vidyarthi, Lachu and others.
Iraivan is Jayam Ravi’s next film after his impressive performance as Arunmozhi Varman in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan 2.

He is pitted against Bramma, a serial killer who has brutally murdered 12 young girls and has no remorse for his actions. Bramma, who uses a smiley as his signature mark, is under the observation of psychologists, but he seems to be one step ahead of them.

Over the years, the definition of a man has changed its course, and with time the represention of the modern man has also changed in Indian Cinema. Gone are the times when men were just macho heroes rescuing women. This is the era of vulnerable, compassionate and sensitive men. Men who can cry, who are not shy about seeking help when they need it and acknowledging the worth of the women in their lives. Men who can express their feelings and not hide them.
Many Bollywood male characters written by women have played a big role in breaking the mould of a stereotypical hero.
This change has been a product of increasing number of female writers. Women writers have actually played a big role in breaking the stereotypes around masculinity, by creating male characters who are sensitive, understanding and would cheer for women.

“To add to it, every person is unique. I am a different person from other people who have played Jodha.
Despite the fact that the character she is portraying has been played on screen multiple times, she thinks people will remember her version of Jodha Bai: “Why not? I am hoping that I brought something that only I can bring to the character. I am hoping that uptil now, I have resonated with people and I have tried to bring things authentically and I hope that I still resonate somewhere and they remember me as Jodha too.”

ReviewSalaam Venky, Revathy’s third directorial, has Kajol as an incredible mother who fights hard with death on behalf of her child.Sowmya RajendranScreengrabThe first scene in Salaam Venky, Revathy’s third directorial, is that of an ambulance with a flashing light rushing towards the hospital under a sky full of twinkling stars. It’s a picture of hope juxtaposed with despair – and it sums up the duality in the film’s conception. Loosely based on Shrikant Murthy’s novel The Last Hurrah, and inspired by the true life story of K Venkatesh, Salaam Venky is about a young man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. He knows that he’s going to die very soon, but he wants to speed up the process for a special cause. The poster of the film shows Kajol in a red saree, the pallu trailing behind her like a cape, pushing Vishal Jethwa who is in a wheelchair.

Revathi’s Phir Milenge (2004) dealt with the subject of AIDS; her latest directorial Salaam Venky is again a medical / illness slice-of-life drama centered around a true story of Kolavennu Venkatesh, a 24-year-old chess player, dealing with the subject of a person suffering from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Dmd) and euthanasia. Bollywood has seen a story on the subject of euthanasia not so long ago in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Hrithik Roshan-Aishwarya Rai starrer Guzaarish (2010). Salaam Venky may be telling a sad story, but it picks up hints from the evergreen Rajesh Khanna-Amitabh Bachchan starrer Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Anand (1971), “Zindagi badi honi chahiye, lambi nahin” (roughly meaning life should be lived to the fullest); where the patient is aware of his illness but takes it in his stride and stays cheerful. On similar lines, the protagonist Venky picks up lines and references from popular films’ characters and tries to keep everyone cheerful.

Eternally Confused & Eager For Love(Netflix, 8 Episodes)
Starring Vihaan Samat, Ankur Rathi, Rahul Bose, Suchitra Pillai
Written & Directed by Rahul Nair
After a long while, here is something to make you smile and chuckle. Eternally Confused & Eager For Love is an awkward title for what is customarily called the coming-of-age saga. But when you see how socially awkward our 20-something protagonist is, and how often he ends up putting his foot in his mouth, you would realize the importance of a title as gauche as Ray, played with a liberating transparency by Vihaan Samat, who has done some negligible parts in the past.
Eternally Confused and what-not is Samat’s actual beginning as an actor. He is a natural born choice to play the muddled boy-child with parents , played with lip smacking relish by Suchitra Krishnamoorthy and Rahul Bose , who are refreshingly non-interfering, although they do want him to at least shed his virginity.

But when you see how socially awkward our 20-something protagonist is, and how often he ends up putting his foot in his mouth, you would realize the importance of a title as gauche as Ray, played with a liberating transparency by Vihaan Samat, who has done some negligible parts in the past.
Eternally Confused and what-not is Samat’s actual beginning as an actor. He is a natural born choice to play the muddled boy-child with parents , played with lip smacking relish by Suchitra Krishnamoorthy and Rahul Bose , who are refreshingly non-interfering, although they do want him to at least shed his virginity.

Mumbai, March 5: Filmmaker Alankrita Shrivastava, whose web series Bombay Begums will soon be streamed, says that making women-oriented films is not easy in Bollywood. Right from shooting to distribution, it is tough to get the appropriate budgets and provisions.
"Budget problems are not specific to me and my films. It is the same story for all female filmmakers. If you want to make films with women who are not big stars, it is a problem. Even with big stars - Meghna (Gulzar) made Raazi (with Alia Bhatt) - she had to shoot within limited budget and had to shoot for long hours," informs Alankrita.
The filmmaker who made a mark directing Lipstick Under My Burkha in 2017, adds that this is because women-centric films don't get distribution. "The budget is justified through the exhibition and distribution system. These distributors feel that these films cannot make that much money," she says.

In today’s day of connectivity, we are constantly available, very much on the move and can connect with our partners in mere matter of seconds, even then what we lack is the old world charm. An era where love was cherished, re written multiple times and waited for weeks to get a reply.
Very much like the time when Napoleon Bonaparte penned a heartfelt to Joséphine or how Keats just rewrote romance in his love letters. To bring back the nostalgia, storytel brings to you love letters in the form of audio. These love letters are narrated by actor, director and screenwriter, Rahul Bose.
