SonyLIV has launched a new original show titled ‘The Jengaburu Curse’ that is claimed to be India’s first climate fiction (cli-fi) web series. Helmed by Nila Madhab Panda, ‘The Jengaburu Curse’ will start streaming on SonyLIV from 9th August, 2023.

The series is set in Odisha’s Jengaburu, a small mining town that is being ravaged by climate change. The mining expedition in the area has led to the discovery of a strange radical that is causing a mysterious disease to spread. The disease has already killed many people, and it is feared that it could wipe out the entire town.

In the midst of this chaos, Priya (Faria Abdullah), a financial analyst, returns to Jengaburu to find her missing father. Priya soon realizes that there is a dark international conspiracy at play, and that the fate of the town, and even the world, hangs in the balance.

Movies as diverse as “Short Cuts,” “Weekend at Bernie’s,” “Pulp Fiction,” “Magnolia” and “The Man Who Fell to Earth” are among the source material that inspire wink-wink allusions and tonal disruptions throughout “Super Deluxe,” an overextended and wildly uneven Tamil-language extravaganza that manages to impress largely because it’s such a shoot-the-works, go-for-broke mess.

You may hate yourself in the morning — hey, you might not feel so good about yourself while you’re actually wallowing in the excesses of “Super Deluxe” — but director Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s unstable mix of dark comedy, brutal thriller and Douglas Sirkian melodrama remains inexcusably fascinating even as it methodically jumps a school of sharks during the final third of its nearly three-hour running time. With assistance from co-writers Nalan Kumarasamy, Neelan K. Sekar and Mysskin (the latter being a supporting player who consumes swaths of scenery in the key role of a self-styled faith...

KollywoodSound is an important part of the video, but much like the trailer, the promo too is presented as a puzzle.Tnm StaffYoutube/Yuvan Shankar RajaAfter an unconventional trailer, Vijay Sethupathi and Samantha Ruth Prabhu starrer Super Deluxe has a new offering – a “Ding Dong promo”. In a style that is now being associated with its director Thiagarajan Kumararaja, this promo’s narration is dependent largely on its sound, much like the trailer. The film stars Vijay Sethupathi, Fahadh Faasil, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Mysskin and Ramya Krishnan in lead roles. In this 'Ding Dong' promo, we have a loop of Fahadh swearing and Samantha talking in whispers, punctuated by Vijay Sethupathi’s character, Shilpa, uttering the phrase “ding dong”. The words tumble out of the character’s mouth while she looks confused; her hair ruffled and kajal smudged. This “ding dong” is a leitmotif, and the crescendo ends in silence...

Kollywood‘Super Deluxe’ is scheduled to release on March 29.Tnm Staff Youtube/Yuvan Shankar RajaThe official trailer of Super Deluxe, Thiyagarajan Kumararaja’s second feature was released on Friday. The trailer gives us an exciting rush and is presented in a way that’s a lot like his first, Aaranya Kaandam. Vijay Sethupathi’s voiceover tells us the story of a man chased by a tiger who falls off a cliff and clings on to life by a fragile rope that turns out to be a snake. While a deep abyss awaits his fall, the man is driven crazy with fear, clutching the snake for his dear life just when he notices honey dripping from a honeycomb that hangs above just him. With each passing second, Vijay Sethupathi’s voice delivers the story with renewed speed, pushing us to a point where we’re eager to know what the man chooses to do.

Directed by National Award winning director Thiagarajan Kumararaja, the film will see him teaming up with Vijay Sethupathi. The film comes months after the Mollywood star's much touted first Tamil film Velaikkaran where he had shared screen space with Siva Karthtikeyan. In an interview to the Times of India, Fahadh said that Super Deluxe is a very interesting film. “The movie has some of the best actors I have seen in the recent past putting on their best performances. More than anything it was an absolute treat working with filmmaker Thiagarajan Kumararaja. I crave to work with him again knowing how difficult and impossible he is,” he said. Thiagarajan Kumararaja shot to limelight with his debut film Aaranya Kaandam, which went on to win a few national awards. He is working on his second film after a long gap. Super Deluxe has an ensemble of talented actors in the cast including Samantha, Mysskin and Ramya Krishnan.

His last directorial project was the 2006 film Idhu Kadhal Varum Paruvam. The veteran director’s next project is titled Paandi Muni and will feature Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff as one of the leads.

Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s Tamil feature Aaranya Kaandam starring Jackie Shroff, Sampath Raj, Yasmin Ponnappa and Ravi Krishna has won the Western Union Audience Award at the 3rd London Indian Film Festival which was held from June 20 – July 3, 2012.

Also at the festival this year, Satyajit Ray Foundation Short Film Award and a £1,000 prize was won by Neeraj Ghaywan’s Shor (Noise).

Meghna Gupta’s short Unravel was given a Special Mention by the jury that comprised directors Eran Creevy (Welcome To The Punch), Suri Krishnamma (The Grief Tourist), Andrew Hinton, winner of the 2011 Satyajit Ray Foundation Award for Amar, and Satwant Gill from Liff.

The festival closed with a screening of the Bengali film Baishey Srabon (Seventh August).

While Jackie Shroff has already started work on Dhoom 3, there is an air of mystery around his actual role in the film. While there are speculations of various kinds already floating around, the fact is that due to a Nda that the actors have signed with the production house, no one is at liberty to talk about the film or the role. However what is being divulged is that insiders at Yrf had seen Jackie's performance as a don in Tamil flick Aaranya Kaandam...

Abandon Normal Devices, Manchester

Just as the Olympic torch passes through Manchester this week, so And offers a warm-up of its own before the full-blown festival coinciding with the Olympics proper. Two new films are the main draw. The first is Swandown, in which film-maker Andrew Kötting and urban psychogeographer and writer Iain Sinclair journey via inland waterways on a swan-shaped pedalo to – you guessed it – the Olympic site over in Stratford (Sinclair is not a fan, by the way). The other, a world premiere, is The Creator, a hallucinatory meditation on the second world war codebreaker and posthumously acclaimed artificial intelligence prophet Alan Turing, by the local duo Al and Al. Both films will be accompanied by their makers, and the And festival will then tour the north-west before returning to Manchester on 29 Aug.

Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s Aaranya Kaandam is not another gangster film coming from the south, it is a tour de force of cinema. With the perfect mix of style and substance, the debutant director has gone on to create an indigenous and rooted film of the neo-noir genre, which has a universal appeal.

Aaranya Kaandam won the Grand Jury award for Best Film at the South Asian International Film Festival in 2010 and garnered much critical acclaim after its worldwide release in June 2011. Kumararaja talks about the film in a telephone interview with Nandita Dutta:

Tell us about your background.

I enrolled for the Visual Communications Course in Loyola College, Chennai for my undergrad, but I dropped out halfway through. Then I worked as a freelance photographer for newspapers. Later I did a couple of ad-films. I wrote dialogues for the Tamil film Oram Po.

How did it occur to you to...

Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s Aaranya Kaandam is set in a decadent city: a city that looks bombed, dilapidated and dying. The ex-royal of the city has sold off his palace to make way for a hotel and is fighting a decisive battle to reclaim his honour through a rooster! The modern state, the police, plays nothing more than a corrupt mediator between baddies. Not that everything is alright with mafia either–the aging don suffers from a crisis of virility.

Crisis and especially the crisis of menfolk, who’ve ruled the world so far, is the central theme of this film. This highly stylized and meticulously-mounted film from the fertile south creates an extremely engaging piece of cinema by mixing two Hollywood genres-gangster and Film Noir. The newcomer director sets the story firmly in the contemporary Tamil (and Indian in general) society, that he understands remarkably well, and creates a jazzy,...

Tamil film Aaranya Kaandam will be screened at Cinemax Versova, Mumbai on Sunday, July 31, 2011 as part of the ongoing Naya Cinema Festival.

Directed by newcomer Thiagarajan Kumararaja, Aaranya Kaandam is being hailed as the “first neo-noir film in Tamil cinema”.

Aaranya Kaandam won the Grand Jury Award for Best Film at the South Asian Film Festival 2011 in New York.

The regional censor board in Chennai objected to the film giving it an adult rating besides demanding 52 cuts, after which Kumararaja appealed and got it approved by the Censor Tribunal in Delhi.
