In Praise of Vikram’s Subtle Performance ⋮ Thangalaan
Thangalaan brings out a primal rage in Chiyaan Vikram's character, capturing the essence of a man's instinct for survival, family, and freedom, set in an 1850s village where his clan struggles against British colonization. While the film boasts intense performances and layers of violence, sexuality, and humor, the ending falls slightly short, choosing a more defined path that doesn't maintain the initial mysterious tone, yet it remains a standout Tamil movie. #Thangalaan #PJExplained #thePJ
