    Urban Romance - GVM, Kathir & Jeeva

    We talk about directors who aced this not so explored genre in Tamil cinema - GVM, an obvious choice, and two lesser remembered directors, Kathir and Jeeva.

    Sudani from Nigeria

    We talk about the Malayalam sports dramedy. How it captures the passion of football in a 7s team in Kerala, and how a broke manager deals with an injury to his star player, while dealing with his emotional struggles at home. A sweet, funny and soft movie that once again shows Malayalam movies are the best in the country now.
