If you liked Ponniyin Selvan and want to watch something like that, I have the exact thing for you - Yaathisai (2023)

Non-spolier review

The film is set in the 7th century (around 270-250 years before Ponniyin Selvan) and tells the fictional story of a small tribe (Einar) that fought against the famous Pandiyan king Ranadheera Pandiyan aka Kochchadaiyan. Remember Rajinikanth's old film? The protagonist is named after this historical King.

The film was written and directed by debutant director Dharani Rajendran. The film's dialogues are in Old Tamil, which are subtitled for viewers in modern Tamil and English. The cast and crew, comprising mostly of debutants, deserve high praise for making such a good film on a shoestring budget (7-10 crores, according to various online sources).

Revolving around the theme of the hunger for power and the thirst for authority, Yaathisai doesn't sing the glories of the emperors or the goodness of their heart. It is a raw, visceral, gripping tale about the corrupting influence of power and the people who are caught up in it.

Newcomers Shakthi Mithran, Seyon Rajalakshmi, Samar and Vaidhegi Amarnat play the main roles and they are amply supported by actors like Guru Somasundaram (the only name I could recognise), Chandrakumar, Semmalar Annam, Subathra and Vijay Seyon.

Cons of the film would be shoddy CGI in some parts and the lack of budget which is reflected in the technical side of the film. That doesn't mean that the film is bad or unwatchable. There are some glitches in some parts, that's it.

If you loved Ponniyin Selvan and wants to watch something like that, this is a very interesting choice. On the surface level, it is a historical fiction, period movie set in a similar period. On the deeper level, it questions and scrutinises everything monarchist narratives like Ponniyin Selvan stands for.

7/10

The movie is available for streaming online and you can watch it on Amazon Prime Video.

Watercolour painting of பூங்குழலி (Poonghuzhali) 🪷🌕🪷

Commissions are open! I also have an insta with more art (@asme08_). :D

🪷🌕🪷 REFLECTION 🪷🌕🪷 "To emanate powerfully from someone or something; very intense or conspicuous" is to be radiant. In terms of radiance, I decided to use both the literal and metaphorical meaning. I had a background of golden yellow light emanating from her. In terms of the metaphorical meaning I felt that Poonguzhali personality embodied this. Her wit, kindness, honesty, and resilience made her instantly likeable to everyone both in and out of the novel. Hence, I found her simply radiant.

She represents the Eelam Tamil women in both the Chola dynasty and the modern era. I say this because the novel is written to take place in the 10th century, but is heavily influenced by the 20th century to make the series more palatable to the masses of that time. This movie is very dear to my heart. I felt it would also represent some of myself.

Jayam Ravi in Thani Oruvan is the embodiment of bi panic. Or more specifically biromantic homosexual panic.

My man was completely obsessed with Siddharth so much so that his entire life was built around an article which he saw when he was 15 and had another 15 year old boy going to jail. You cannot tell me that obsession for ten years had no undercurrents. And that final scene when Aravind samy dies, our boy was like no that’s my boyfriend that I finally got near fixing.

And of course Nayanthara. I’m pretty sure Mithran liked her a lot, could even see himself being in love with her from the beginning but he wasn’t sexually attracted to her and felt like he couldn’t give her all of him.
