ReviewApart from a couple of unnecessary fights and a brief romance, this is a faithful remake of 'Pink'. Sowmya RajendranThe title of Nerkonda Paarvai translates to ‘Look straight ahead’. It’s a line from a poem by Bharathiyar, who is often quoted in Tamil Nadu in the context of women’s rights because of his vision of the “pudhumai penn” – the “modern woman”. But the Bharathiyar vision of “modern” that the state has celebrated is the woman who steps out of the four walls of her home – to work. Not drink, party, or have fun. The “pudhumai penn” who asserts her right to have a good time is an outlier, unsuited to “Tamizh kalacharam”. And if she bites back when you object, she is also a “fake feminist”. Tamil cinema has rarely stepped outside these boundaries of just how “modern” a woman can be. And when it has,...

Tamil web seriesSarath Appani, who plays the lead, shoulders the entire series bravely but the other characters have limited story arcs.Sowmya RajendranZee5's web series on Auto Shankar, a gangster who terrorised Madras in the '80s, is a sordid story of lust, deceit, betrayal and revenge. Directed by Ranga, Auto Shankar is part fiction inspired by legends about the man and part based on facts collected from the investigation which led to his capture. The result is a discomfiting cocktail that at times glorifies a ruthless criminal and yet draws one into his sleazy world. The series is divided into 10 episodes which are each around 30 minutes long and carry titles which trace the trajectory of Shankar's rise and fall. The first episode begins with his end - Shankar is about to be hanged for his crimes. We then go back in time, to see his journey thus far.

Web seriesThe web series is about an Nri who claims that he is gay to avoid marriage pressure from his family.Sowmya RajendranAmerica Mappillai, the newly released web series produced by Trend Loud which gave us the popular As I'm Suffering from Kadhal, tackles an unusual subject. Unusual not because we don't see these stories in real life, but because they're rarely represented on screen. The 8-part web series, from Zee5 Originals, is about Ganesh, a young Nri, who is pestered by his single dad to get married. Encouraged by his friend Michael, who acts in melodramatic TV serials, Ganesh decides to tell his father that he is gay. Even as the family struggles to cope with this revelation, there comes a twist in the plot. Directed by Praveen Padmanabhan, the cast boasts of names like Raja Krishnamoorthy (Kitty) and Leela Samson along with Arjun Chidambaram, Gokul Anand, Namita Krishnamoorthy and Rakesh Ram. Actors like Sruthi Hariharan and Delhi Ganesh play cameos. Each episode is about 10 minutes long and is named after a colour which suggests its theme. Written by Raja Ramamurthy, a full-time screenwriter and filmmaker who currently lives in California, America Mappillai looks at relationships with all their complexity. Speaking to Tnm, 30-year-old Raja says that the inspiration for the series came from the 'America Mappillai' stereotype that we see in popular culture. "America Mappillai started off as a light-hearted take on the 'America Mappillai' character archetype. I was looking at ways to subvert the archetype and, hence, decided on making the America Mappillai gay. In Tamil cinema, we don’t see true to life America Mappillais – the female lead always chooses a stalker over the well-educated, good looking and well-mannered American groom. America Mappillai has become synonymous with the loser character who never gets the girl. I wanted my character to break that stereotype. Once the gay angle came in, I wanted to address the issues of marriage and homophobia in our society," he says. Although the series has stock characters like the sister and hero's 'useless' friend, it also includes some fresh ones – like a single dad who cooks meals for his children as a matter of routine, and an elderly woman who'd decided never to get married by choice. Raja says that these were deliberate decisions on his part. "It was a deliberate decision to challenge stereotypes since the show is all about subverting stereotypes. But it also informs the audiences about the dad – that he is a self-made man and how much he cares for his kids. We rarely get to see such families in Indian cinema, but we see them a lot in real life and I wanted to showcase that," he notes. Working on Vasantha Athai (Leela Samson) proved to be the hardest of the lot, Raja admits. "Leela Samson’s character (Vasantha) was the toughest to crack. It went through multiple drafts and transformations. Vasantha is authoritative and caring. She is an independent woman, but still deeply rooted to her family. I drew this character from real life. My family is filled with independent, free-thinking working women and they were my biggest inspiration for this character," he says. America Mappillai handles the gay identity with care, without turning the characters into needy and unstable people as has been the routine in mainstream Tamil cinema. The character of Karthik, Ganesh's friend, who is out as a gay man, is free of the usual "effeminate" characteristics that have been dumped on gay characters on screen. Further, he treats himself with self-respect and makes it clear that he isn't looking for anyone's sympathy. While writers are never asked why they chose to write about a heterosexual couple, the question inevitably arises when it is a gay relationship. The curiosity lies in trying to ascertain if the creator is also gay. Asked if this bothered him, Raja says, "I get that a lot and it doesn’t bother me. I was surprised the first time it was brought up and it has happened a lot more since then. But I consider this a win. It means I got the story and the characters right. You don’t have to be a serial killer to write about one, it’s the same logic." Though America Mappillai isn't bitingly funny, the scenes remain light and real. In the web series format, it's hard to sketch characters and establish empathy for them, given how little time there is at hand. Some like Sunanda, the sister, remain underdeveloped, while others like Karthik, are shaped better. Although the series takes on the Indian obsession with marriage and all its accompanying prejudices, it is silent on the issue of caste which comes to the forefront in such discussions. From the dialect spoken by the characters on screen, it appears that America Mappillai is about a Brahmin family. Commenting on this exclusion, Raja says, "I never dealt with caste because in all honesty it's a moot point in this situation. I think the family wouldn’t care about caste or religion when their son brings home a boy and tells them that he loves him even if he is from the same caste. I think in our society homophobia goes beyond caste and religion and the show reflects that." The web series format is still at an exploratory stage but it nevertheless offers opportunities for such original content to be showcased. Speaking about his experience on working on the show, Raja says, "The journey started in 2016. I'd be lying if I said it was smooth sailing from the get-go. It has been an uphill battle, but it has also been a great learning experience. With the advent of Ott platforms, it has become a gateway to bringing such projects to life with ease." He adds that Zee5 loved the idea and immediately came on board. "The experience has been fruitful since I got to work to with a great cast and crew. These types of stories need more mainstream media representation and I'm glad to be taking a step in that direction," he concludes. You can binge-watch the series here.
