By far this is the best of any review and analysis I have seen. Completely Understanding every aspect of it as it is and as it was made. Shows how intelligent the reviewer is. Chennai28 is pathbreaking work and it was not given its due credit.

With all due respect to SRK, Kamal etc., is the arc of Mamooty since 2019 the greatest ever for a Indian actor-superstar? Unda, Mamangam, Shylock, Bheeshma Parvam, Roscharch, NPNM, Puzhu, Kannur Squad and now this.. what a synopsis.

If he stops this mode of review, his core audience will go away and he will get tired of this "pretentious snob 24x7" act. He very well knows what the novel is and how can one make a film adaptation. Stuff like "yaaru hero yaaru villain ne therila.."

Somewhat poetic that the year when Kamal Haasan “reclaimed” his status with Vikram, is when Mani Ratnam also does. Two 80s OGs dishing out arguably the 2 biggest successes of the year.

is an absolute masterpiece. It's cinematic poetry that focuses on drama driven by emotion. Mani Ratnam does what Kubrick did with Stephen King's Shining - deviates from the source, and yet delivers something that will stand the test of times.
