HOT TAKE: Imaikkaa Nodigal is one of the best thriller films from Kollywood ever.

This movie just came and went; people barely talk about it.

For me, Imaikkaa Nodigal is easily one of the most entertaining, edge-of-your-seat psychological crime thrillers from Kollywood. It deserves way more appreciation.

The pacing keeps you hooked throughout, the music and background score were amazing (arguably HipHop Tamizha’s best work), screenplay, and all the performances were really good. It’s also one of those thrillers that somehow stays rewatchable even after you already know what’s coming. Immense repeat value.

What I also like is that the movie has a lot more depth than people give it credit for. It’s not just a serial killer thriller, it has wholesome moments, emotional bonds, comedy, intense scenes, and a good emotional core. It never feels one-note.

And it's not your usual hero-centric commercial film. Having a female lead at the center of a story like this made it feel different and it worked so well. Nayanthara absolutely nailed it; her performance in this movie deserves more appreciation too. She made CBI Anjali feel memorable instead of just another thriller protagonist.

And you can go on about Atharvaa, Vijay Sethupathi, Anurag Kashyap, and Raashi Khanna.

People always mention Ratchasan, Por Thozhil, Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru, etc. when talking about the best tamil serial killer thrillers, but Imaikkaa Nodigal gets overlooked way too much despite being on par with them.

2013 was probably the best time in Kollywood.

It was such a special year man.

The amount of good songs we got during this year too 🤌

I find it odd how, despite not being a great dancer, you couldn’t tell that at all with Nayanthara in Dheemthanakka Thillana.

She danced so well in this song. She did not look out of place, or differ to Vijay at all.

The Pistons are expected to attempt to trade for Lauri Markkanen or Trey Murphy III this summer, per Shams Charania.

Win or lose tonight, I hope this is what we look for during the offseason.

Not Trey Murphy, I want Lauri Markkanen in a heartbeat. Having a 7’1 that can easily give us 20-25+ a game is something we need really bad.

Cade and Lauri would do so much damage.

How can someone direct such a beautiful, soulful film like Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, but also be the same person to direct something as cheap and vulgar as Love Insurance Company?

Do you guys agree or disagree?

I wouldn't want to say "hurt." Part of it is also a coaching issue that should’ve been addressed in the regular season. They run zero actions for Ausar and do not put him in positions to be successful.

It's not really realistic to ask something out of him that he isn't familiar with.

I was preaching during the regular season to put the ball in Ausar's hands more and run plays through him, but it just felt like JB was always restricting him and he wasn't being utilized well at all.

Sivakarthikeyan & Sri Divya were the Sivakarthikeyan-Keerthy Suresh before Sivakarthikeyan-Keerthy Suresh.

Before any Sivakarthikeyan & Keerthy Suresh/Priyanka Mohan, it was Sivakarthikeyan & Sri Divya.

This is the OG Sivakarthikeyan pairing.

The only 2 selfless people in the serial, the rest were all selfish.

To all my serial watchers and/or Vani Rani fans, what do you think?

Agree or Disagree?

Side chick getting blessings from Vijay's mom on mother's day 🤮

The amount of normalization this has gotten is ridiculous, no like seriously.

Like Trisha is the one going through tough times and trauma, lived with him for 20+ years, gave birth to his 2 kids, stayed beside him through all the ups and downs of his career and life, and helped shape him into the person he is today, all while standing there getting emotional and crying during his speech.

His actual wife is the one who lived that life, but Trisha is being represented as Vijay’s “girl” so shamelessly at this ceremony, when his real wife and kids didn’t even show up.

The people who say, "it's their personal life" or "every celebrity has had affairs" don't make Vijay/Trisha's situations any better lmao. Even if others have ugly personal lives, it doesn't make Vijay & Trisha innocent or make them any less disgusting people than they are. Normality doesn't make it any better.

Isn't it ironic how a little over a week ago, the whole NBA world, including our own fans, turned on us, saying we were frauds, the worst #1 seed ever, that our season was over, fast forward now, we’re up 2-0 in the conference semifinals against the Cavs.

It's embarrassing because these people aren't even pr. Atleast pr have their own reasons. Blindly supporting someone like Vijay, are you his slave? Not trying to be harsh, but it makes me question that.

I don’t get how people are celebrating Vijay like this.

How are yall so comfortable hyping him up, calling him a hero, celebrating like he’s something flawless, when there are still serious issues in his personal life that he so shamelessly dismisses.

And please don’t fall back on the “separate personal life from public life” argument. That logic is stupid. With other celebrities, people have no problem judging their personal lives, dragging them, and holding them accountable. So why is Vijay suddenly an exception? Are his fans that manipulated? Even if it’s personal, it still says something about the person.

People are choosing to ignore everything else or downplay his personal life.

It's frustrating to see how extreme the reactions are. People aren’t just supporting him, they’re glorifying him, crying, celebrating like he’s some perfect figure. There’s barely any acknowledgment of the people who were affected by his actions, especially his family.

That’s what I can’t wrap my head around. How do you go all out celebrating someone while completely overlooking the people they have hurt? Why does it bring so much happiness to people if he wins? Hiding behind “it’s his personal life” is just an excuse.

I've never seen people this invested in an election like this. You think people care about their state, who can provide the best for them? Oh please, give me a break. They're all doing this solely to sombu thooki Vijay. Otherwise people couldn't care less about this election.

I’m not saying you have to hate him. But how are you this comfortable praising someone who cheated on his wife and left his kids? This same person is being celebrated like a hero, walking around with no remorse whatsoever. To him, whatever Sangeetha, Jason, & Divya are going through is not "worth it."

This woman has all the guts in the world, my god.

I've never supported her remarks, comments on any other actors, actresses, or media figures; she can be very harsh and cruel.

But I'm sorry, her stories about Trisha/Vijay are hilarious, if I'm being completely honest.

I also don’t believe she would so confidently make things up, fabricate, or lie like that.
