I still don't understand why they made a sequel to Saamy. But somehow, this shit gives me rewatchable vibes. Enna solrathu, enake theriyala. 😭

The movie is filled with so many logic issues. They replaced Trisha's character with Aishwarya Rajesh, even though the first part happened in the 2000s. The film itself was released in 2018, so the whole 20-year timeline doesn't make much sense. The way the civil services exam is shown is another thing—something that's actually difficult is portrayed as if it can be cracked so easily. And then there's the whole "mail to the President" scene.

The villain's second wife's son coming back for revenge is another predictable revenge track. Whatever happens in this movie, it somehow ends up being perfect material for roasting and trolling.

Honestly, I know this movie is a mess, but for some reason, I can completely hate it. I don't know why, but it still has that weird "watchable" feeling for me.

And it's not just Saamy 2—there are quite a few disastrous films that somehow give me the urge to rewatch them. Maybe that's a different kind of guilty pleasure. 😭

There's a funny scene where Ileana tries to watch the first-day first show of Wanted using a black-market ticket, while NTR's character gets into a fight over the tickets. The meta reference is that Ileana was the heroine in the original Pokiri, which Wanted is a remake of. Adding to the irony, director Meher Ramesh had also worked on Pokiri, making the scene a clever self-referential remake nod.

While scrolling through Reels, I came across this movie promo. The color grading instantly caught my attention—it looks completely different from the version we see today.

Before Sun TV switched to HD, most movies were telecast in SD format, and many had a distinct color grading and broadcast look. Today, most of those same movies have been remastered for HD, with updated colors, contrast, and clarity.

That old SD-era Sun TV color grading had its own nostalgic charm. 📺✨

I know there are many people in this sub who dislike Trisha, but I honestly don't understand hating her just because of Vijay.

If you dislike Vijay, that's a separate discussion. But why should Trisha be mocked every time she appears in a movie-related post? Whenever I come across a random post about her, the comments are filled with Vijay edits, GIFs, and relationship jokes. During the Karuppu release too, I saw the same thing. It has reached a point where discussions about her films are immediately diverted to Vijay because that time he becomes CM.

I don't care about her off-screen life or her alleged relationship with Vijay. That's their personal matter, and unless it affects the public directly, I don't think it's worth discussing in every single post.

If people want to criticize her, there are actual reasons to do so. In my opinion, her biggest issues have been inconsistent script selection and average performances in several films. Apart from Ponniyin Selvan, I haven't found many recent performances that impressed me.

Yes, I also remember the controversy around the Jallikattu protests, and people are free to criticize public statements or actions. But constantly mocking her because of an alleged relationship is pointless.

Another thing that has always disappointed me is that she's a native Tamil actress, yet she has rarely dubbed for herself in Tamil films. That's a valid criticism related to her work.

Vijay also made mistakes, especially now that he's a political figure, then people should question him directly. Public figures should be held accountable for their own actions. Dragging Trisha into every discussion about Vijay doesn't make sense.

At the end of the day, if a Trisha movie is releasing, discuss the movie. Praise it if it's good, criticize it if it's bad. Judge her acting, script choices, and performances—not her personal life.

That's just my opinion. I know some people will disagree or mock this take, but I'd rather criticize an artist for their work than for rumors or relationships.

I've noticed a recurring pattern in many of Puri Jagannadh's films where the protagonist either loses their parents or grows up with a broken family. It almost feels like one of his signature storytelling tropes.

Some examples:

• Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi – Hero's mother dies.
• Sivamani – Hero's mother suffers throughout the film.
• Andhrawala – Hero's parents are killed by the villains.
• Pokiri – Hero's father is killed by the villain.
• Chirutha – Hero's father is killed, his mother suffers, and the hero grows up believing she's dead before later discovering she's alive.
• Bujjigadu – Hero leaves home as a child, leading to his family breaking apart and his father becoming an alcoholic.
• Neninthe – Hero's mother dies.
• Ek Niranjan – Hero is separated from his parents in childhood and grows up as an orphan.
• Golimaar – Hero is an orphan.
• Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu – Hero's mother struggles and suffers.
• Iddarammayilatho, Businessman – Hero and heroine parents are murdered by the antagonist
• Temper – Hero is an orphan.

Is it a deliberate writing choice to create emotionally detached, self-made protagonists with nothing to lose? Or is it simply an easy way to give the hero emotional motivation and freedom from family responsibilities?

Has Puri ever spoken in interviews about why broken families, dead parents, or suffering mothers appear so frequently in his films? Or is this just a coincidence?
