National Film Awards 2023: Alia Bhatt, Allu Arjun, Kriti Sanon win top acting honours

<p>Kangana Ranaut starrer, 'Thalaivii', touted as a biopic of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, has some "factual errors", AIADMK leader and former minister D. Jayakumar said on Friday.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-thalaivii-review-arvind-swami-shines-as-mgr-kangana-ranaut-plays-herself-412068">Read our review here</a><br />
<br />
Talking to media persons after watching the movie, directed by A. L. Vijay and having Arvind Swami and Nasser in prominent roles, at a Chennai theatre, Jayakumar said that the movie is a well crafted one, except for a few scenes on former Chief Minister and AIADMK founder-leader, late M.G. Ramachandran, fondly known as MGR, as also on Jayalalithaa.</p>

<p><a href="http://13.235.153.162/entertainment/bollywood/news-kangana-ranauts-thalaivii-leaked-online-hours-after-its-theatrical-release-412138" hreflang="en">Kangana Ranaut's 'Thalaivii' leaked online hours after its theatrical release</a><br />
<br />
Citing a scene wherein MGR wanted to become a minister in the first DMK government led by C.N. Annadurai and that it was later Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi who blocked him, Jayakumar said that MGR had never sought positions.<br />
<br />
He said that Annadurai wanted MGR to be made a minister but he himself refused and was subsequently made deputy Chief of the Small Savings Department, which was a new post. Jayakumar said that after the passing away of Annadurai in 1969, it was MGR who suggested the name of Karunanidhi for the Chief Minister's post.<br />
<br />
MGR and Karunanidhi subsequently parted ways in 1972 with the former announcing the formation of the AIADMK.</p>

<br />
Jayakumar also said that there were scenes showing Jayalalithaa developing contacts with both Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi without MGR's knowledge, and said that this was untrue and that she never went against her leader.<br />
<br />
He said that there were also scenes where MGR was seen belittling Jaya, which was also not true.<br />
<br />
The senior AIADMK leader said that if these scenes are removed from the movie, it would turn out into a super success, adding that he turned nostalgic on watching the movie.</p>

Some factual errors in Kangana Ranaut starrer Jayalalithaa biopic 'Thalaivii', says AIADMK leader

<p>Kangana Ranaut may have been been in headlines in the recent past for reasons other than her films, but there is no denying the fact that when she is given a good script, she delivers. Time and again, Ranaut has proved her mettle and her versatility in the simplest of the stories. In her latest, 'Thalaivii' takes on a tough role and essays one of the strongest women in Indian politics, J Jayalalithaa. But does Kangana deliver? Only in parts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Directed by Vijay, 'Thalaivii' sets out documenting J Jayalalithaa's tryst in politics, her closeness to MGR and subsequent rise as the leader of AIADMK and the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. And while the elements of a great biopic are all there- the film falters due to a very weak screenplay that does nothing to tap into Ranaut's talent as an actor. Instead, it presents Ranaut as herself and in so many scenes she is just playing haughty star that she has become who blows her own trumpet at the drop of a hat. Even some of the dialogues seem to just pad up Kangana's recently created image of a self-made star who doesn't need anyone to prove her worth in the film industry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The late Jayalalithaa was known for her ability to break into a largely male-dominated political arena and create her powerful position there- so much so that the men who at one point of time shunned her, bowed down to her in respect and fear as she became the CM. There is a lot of material available of the late politician and writer KV Vijayendra Prasad never really delves deeper and instead present the known facts in a more dramatised manner in 'Thalaivi'. The result is that the film never hits you or leaves an impact about the leader, instead, it presents Kangana in a larger than life persona. Rajat Arora's melodramatic lines just accentuate Kangana's star persona and does nothing to aid the actual story.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'Thalaivii' also highlights MGR and Jayalalitha's relationship - which is also very much in the public domain. The first half is spent in establishing the bond that the two shared and how Jayalalithaa as a newbie in the film industry was made comfortable by then the legend MGR. Their affair too is never explicitly detailed in the film and it is mostly suggestive, perhaps keeping in mind the sentiments attached to the two stalwarts. In one of the early scenes in the film, Jayalalithaa - as the leader of the opposition - is questioned about her relationship with the late leader and heckled in the state assembly by DMK party leaders. The scenes appear twice but nowhere does Kangana's character answer the burning question. In other occasions their love is explained with spiritual metaphors- 'God cannot be loved by one, God is loved by all," says MGR in one scene. In another Jayalalithaa compares herself to Radha, Lord Krishna's favourite consort.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Not just their love story, the film never really attempts to dig deeper into how the former CM of Tamil Nadu paved her way in politics. The screenplay mostly skirts around incidents and leaves a lot to the interpretation of the audience. From MGR and Jayalalithaa's mid-day meal schemes to their alliance with Congress to her campaigning while still recovering from a serious accident- all are shown but none in great detail.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the film is about Kangana Ranaut playing Jayalalitha, it is Arvind Swami who shines the most as MGR and gets the late leader's mannerisms perfectly. It is also a delight to watch Swami in a full-fledged role after a long time. There is Madhoo who plays Janaki Amma and while her scenes are limited, pairing the former 'Roja' couple brings back memories of the 90s. The other actor who delivers is Raj Arora who plays MGR's right-hand man Veerappan and who dislikes Jayalalithaa's closeness with his leader. The other actors - especially the women- have limited screen time because only one woman is allowed to shine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kangana meanwhile, has her moments playing the leader but poor writing and her star status prove to be hindrances. Despite the prosthetics, the makeup - we get flashes Kangana the star, who delivers sermons and gyaan on social media often these days or who struts out of the airport waving at the camera with Z plus security surrounding her. The actor in her takes a backseat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The background score is ear-splittingly loud and too dramatic and always plays out victory music when Kangana is on screen - which is a tad unnecessary.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Is 'Thalaivii' Kangana's best performance to date? No. But it documents a leader's life whose journey has been inspirational (sometimes even questionable) for a generation that may not be too familiar with Tamil Nadu and its politics.&nbsp;<br />

'Thalaivii' review: Arvind Swami shines as MGR, Kangana Ranaut plays herself 

<p>Kangana Ranaut's upcoming and one of the most awaited movies 'Thalaivii' is facing major backlash over the short time gap between its theatrical and digital release.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Ranaut earlier responded to the matter and requested the multiplex owners for ‘Thalaivii’s screening. Now, in the latest update the multiplexes have decided to screen her forthcoming film in Tamil and Telugu versions but not in Hindi.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="http://13.235.153.162/entertainment/bollywood/news-theatres-unhappy-with-thalaivii-makers-demand-four-week-gap-between-its-premiere-on-theatres-and-ott-410511" hreflang="en">Theatres unhappy with 'Thalaivii' makers, demand four-week gap between its premiere on theatres and OTT</a><br />
<br />
After the statement was released, the Gangster actress penned a gratitude note reading, ''PVR’s decision to screen the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film is a ray of hope for Team Thalaivii as well as all those cinegoers who are waiting to rush back to their favourite multiplex chain for a cinematic experience.''</p>

<p><a href="http://13.235.153.162/entertainment/bollywood/news-kangana-ranaut-pays-homage-at-the-j-jayalalithaa-memorial-in-marina-beach-410609" hreflang="en">Kangana Ranaut pays homage at the J Jayalalithaa memorial in Marina beach</a><br />
<br />
''I am personally moved by the kind words used for me and Team 'Thalaivii', and I hope with talks, and a passion for the theatrical experience, we can come together to find a solution so that the Hindi version can also find love and appreciation on the big screen''.<br />
<br />
Responding to the situation,&nbsp;&nbsp;PVR Cinemas released a statement requesting&nbsp;to keep a uniform window of 4 weeks across all language versions.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'' 'Thalaivii' is one of the most keenly awaited films. Also, Ms Kangana Ranaut’s acting prowess and exceptional box office pull are well-established facts. We are thankful to the Thalaivii team for offering a 4-week theatrical window for its Tamil and Telugu language versions. We are delighted to be able to play 'Thalaivii' in Tamil and Telugu language at our cinemas, however, we are disappointed that for the Hindi language version, the 'Thalaivii' team has decided to offer only a 2-week window. We would like to appeal to Ms Kangana Ranaut, Mr Vishnu Induri &amp; Mr Shailesh Singh to keep a uniform window of 4 weeks across all language versions and therefore allow all cinemas across the country to showcase 'Thalaivii' to audiences, on the big screen.'' The statement reads.&nbsp;</p>

Kangana Ranaut's upcoming and one of the most awaited movies 'Thalaivii' is facing major backlash over the short time gap between its theatrical and digital release.

Kangana Ranaut's upcoming and one of the most awaited movies 'Thalaivii' is facing major backlash over the short time gap between its theatrical and digital release. Ranaut earlier responded to the matter and requested the multiplex owners for ‘Thalaivii’s screening. Now, in the latest update the multiplexes have decided to screen her forthcoming film in Tamil and Telugu versions but not in Hindi. Theatres unhappy with 'Thalaivii' makers, demand four-week gap between its premiere on theatres and OTT After the statement was released, the Gangster actress penned a gratitude note reading, ''PVR’s decision to screen the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film is a ray of hope for Team Thalaivii as well as all those cinegoers who are waiting to rush back to their favourite multiplex chain for a cinematic experience.'' Kangana Ranaut pays homage at the J Jayalalithaa memorial in Marina beach ''I am personally moved by the kind words used for me and Team 'Thalaivii', and I hope with talks, and a passion for the theatrical experience, we can come together to find a solution so that the Hindi version can also find love and appreciation on the big screen''. Responding to the situation, PVR Cinemas released a statement requesting to keep a uniform window of 4 weeks across all language versions. '' 'Thalaivii' is one of the most keenly awaited films. Also, Ms Kangana Ranaut’s acting prowess and exceptional box office pull are well-established facts. We are thankful to the Thalaivii team for offering a 4-week theatrical window for its Tamil and Telugu language versions. We are delighted to be able to play 'Thalaivii' in Tamil and Telugu language at our cinemas, however, we are disappointed that for the Hindi language version, the 'Thalaivii' team has decided to offer only a 2-week window. We would like to appeal to Ms Kangana Ranaut, Mr Vishnu Induri & Mr Shailesh Singh to keep a uniform window of 4 weeks across all language versions and therefore allow all cinemas across the country to showcase 'Thalaivii' to audiences, on the big screen.'' The statement reads.

Sharing a teaser, Kangana wrote, ''#TeriAankhonMein beautifully captures the essence of falling in love. Relive the magical era of Jayalalithaa-MGR with the romantic tunes of #TeriAankhonMein #UnthanKangalilEnnadiyo #NeeKannulloEmunnado. Full song out on Monday!''.&nbsp;<br />

Talking about the songs, Kangana says: “Jaya Amma’s songs are significant because they are part of pop culture. This song is an amalgamation of those tracks. Jaya Amma and MGR gave 60 to 70 songs together. They worked together for decades, but we had to crack it in the span of four days. In a day, I would go through several looks and hairstyles. I wanted that magic to be authentic."</p>
