Indian cinema has always been fascinated by the unknown. From mythological beings descending from the heavens to mysterious creatures emerging from unexplored territories, Indian filmmakers have repeatedly explored the boundaries between reality, fantasy and the supernatural. Among these imaginative possibilities, extraterrestrial life has become an increasingly intriguing subject. Although alien films have traditionally been a relatively small part of Indian cinema, movies such as Koi... Mil Gaya , PK , Captain and Ayalaan have demonstrated that stories about beings from other worlds can take many forms. Now, with Akshay Kumar’s upcoming alien thriller Samuk , the genre may be moving towards an even more ambitious combination of science fiction, creature effects , action and survival horror . What makes Indian alien cinema distinctive is its diversity. An alien can be a lovable friend, a social critic, a threat to humanity or a mysterious creature that must be defeated. These differ...

Time travel has always been one of cinema’s most fascinating concepts. The idea of travelling to the past, jumping into the future, changing a moment in history, or getting trapped in a loop gives filmmakers endless possibilities to play with storytelling. Tamil cinema has explored the concept of time travel in its own unique way. From science-fiction experiments to commercial entertainers and mind-bending thrillers, Tamil filmmakers have used time as more than just a plot device. Some films ask what would happen if we could change the past, while others explore the consequences of interfering with time. Here are some of the most interesting time-travel movies and time-based science-fiction films in Tamil cinema . 1. Indru Netru Naalai (2015) If there is one Tamil film that made the concept of a time machine accessible, entertaining and highly engaging, it is Indru Netru Naalai . Directed by R.

From Pushpaka Vimana and Aditya 369 to Apoorva Sagodharargal and Sing Geetham , Singeetham Srinivasa Rao built a career around one simple principle: never make the same film twice. Indian cinema has produced filmmakers known for spectacle, some for realism, some for commercial instinct and others for technical brilliance. But very few can claim the kind of restless curiosity that defined Singeetham Srinivasa Rao . Across more than seven decades, Rao moved effortlessly between languages, genres and cinematic forms. He made comedy, fantasy, science fiction, drama, musicals and films that were difficult to classify altogether. He worked in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi and English, collaborating with stars such as Kamal Haasan, Nandamuri Balakrishna and Dr Rajkumar. Even more remarkable was his refusal to become predictable. Rao passed away in Chennai on October 3, 2026, at the age of 94/95, following age-related health complications. Yet his final directorial venture, Sing Geetham , h...

Tamil cinema and Tamil Nadu politics have shared a complicated relationship for decades. From MGR and Jayalalithaa to Vijay’s recent electoral breakthrough, the state has repeatedly shown that a successful film career can provide a powerful platform for political mobilisation. Now, two other prominent stars — Sivakarthikeyan and Dhanush — are attracting attention for a different reason: their increasingly visible engagement with fans and welfare activities. Neither actor has formally announced a political entry. But their recent interactions have inevitably invited comparisons with the path taken by earlier stars. Sivakarthikeyan's fan meet: more than a celebration? Sivakarthikeyan's recent fan gathering in Chennai was notable for its scale and organisation. Held near Porur, the event reportedly brought together thousands of fan-club members and administrators, with supporters attending in coordinated white attire. The setting itself fuelled political speculation. Reports note...

Rajinikanth’s much-awaited Jailer 2 is heading towards its October 15 theatrical release, but one familiar element of a big Tamil-star film’s promotions appears to be missing this time — a grand audio launch event. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Sun Pictures, Jailer 2 brings back Rajinikanth as Muthuvel Pandian, with Anirudh Ravichander composing the music. While the film has been steadily building its musical campaign through individual song releases, the makers have decided not to hold a conventional audio launch event. No grand audio launch for Jailer 2 According to recent reports, Sun Pictures has opted against conducting the traditional grand audio launch for Jailer 2 . Instead, the complete soundtrack was made available digitally on September 30. The soundtrack is credited to Anirudh Ravichander and is listed as a 12-song album on Apple Music. The decision has attracted attention because Jailer 2 is one of the year's major Tamil releases and features one of ...
