National Award-winning filmmaker Vetrimaaran, who is known for films like ‘Aadukalam’, ‘Asuran’, ‘Vada Chennai’ and ‘Visaranai’, is glad someone hacked his Facebook account sometime ago as he considers it a blessing in disguise and an opportunity for him to focus better on his work.
Vetrimaaran recently presented his latest film ‘Viduthalai: Part One’ at the 54th edition of the International Film Festival of India (Iffi) in Goa.
Talking to the media, the director said that the lack of social media in his life keep him away from all the audience expectation and hype.
He said, “I’m not responsible for the expectation and the hype, and I’m not working on it or creating it. I don’t have Twitter (now X), I was on Facebook but I’m happy someone hacked my account. So I’m trying to keep myself intact.”

Vetrimaaran is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to telling socio-political stories through his stories, screenplays, and narratives. Nobody in recent times in the Tamil cinema space has come close to Vetrimaaran when it comes to making films that are a perfect mix of commercial cinema and soul-stirring, taboo topics that nobody in the past has managed to even speak about through this medium called film. Technically too, his films always stood out, and the last big theatrical release this man had was “Asuran,” starring Dhanush and Manju Warrier. Vetrimaaran’s current outing, “Viduthalai,” which means liberation, is all about understanding the balance between the life that police officers live and the extremists’ group in the state, which is fighting hard for the people of their community so that they thrive and their demands are met.

ReviewVetrimaaran makes several noteworthy cinematic choices, but as a director who seems intent on being taken as a serious political commentator, his own politics still leaves a lot to be desired.Deep in a mountainous jungle, an armed people’s movement is at war with the police. The state apparatus is scrambling to identify the mysterious leader of this movement — Makkal Padai (People’s Army) — who goes by the moniker Vaathiyar. The authorities don’t even know what he looks like. A young police constable (PC) is transferred to one of these remote outposts, setting him on a collision course with powerful men. Director Vetrimaaran’s Viduthalai - Part 1 seems set to tell a gritty political tale led by an actor few would have expected in such a serious and complex role. When the cast for Viduthalai was announced, most Tamil movie watchers were surprised to see Soori in the lead.

ReviewFor a film that overtly identifies its characters by caste, ‘Dasara’ stops well short of engaging with anti-caste politics in any meaningful way.Dasara / ScreengrabThe rise of the anti-caste film in Tamil cinema, with its Dalit protagonist who hits back, has somewhat rubbed off on Telugu cinema in recent years. However, most of these attempts have lacked the ideological framework and conviction of the Tamil films. For instance, when Asuran (2019) was remade as Narappa (2021), the makers added a line that said a poor man has no caste or class. This was ironic to say the least, considering the Tamil film was based on the land rights of the Dalit people. Dasara, directed by debut filmmaker Srikanth Odela, has Nani playing a hero from an oppressed caste, but the film gives one the impression of being a mishmash of several blockbusters from different industries. The film is set in 1995, with its...
