Bigil, Kaithi, Asuran, Nerkonda Paarvai, Petta show Tamil cinema is heading towards a content-oriented approach

Firstpost  

2019 turns out to be a memorable year for Tamil cinema. Though Nerkonda Paarvai is an official remake of Pink, featuring a huge star like Ajith changed the perception of many filmmakers and leading stars in Tamil cinema. Though Nerkonda Paarvai was a hit, it did not become Ajith’s career highest-grossing film but Dhanush’s rural revenge drama Asuran surprised everyone in the trade with its phenomenal performance at the box office. Though Bigil also had the usual Vijay template, the second half of the film clearly tells us he is ready for the ongoing content revolution in Tamil cinema. Bigil cannot be definitely termed as a path-breaking film but when a mass hero like Vijay generously sheds his superstardom for the content of the film, one could see a bright future waiting for cinema.
