[2] Hot Spot

Hotspot is a Tamil anthology film of 2024 that Vignesh Karthick directed. The cast includes:

  • Sofia
  • Adithya Bhaskar
  • Subash
  • Sandy
  • Ammu Abhirami
  • Kalaiyarasan
  • Janani
  • Gouri G. Kishan

The first story, including Aadhitya Bhaskar and Gouri Kishan, is quirky and creative, exploring the ups and downs of a couple before and after their wedding. The humour lies in Vignesh’s totally offbeat take on the situation. This makes the story stand apart with its originality.

The second story simply seems like a continuation of Dulquer’s Solo because it contains funny yet serious situations.

The third story, perhaps the best part, is a sharp interpretation of modern relationships, showing how young men and women often confuse love with lust.

The Hotspot Tamil movie was released on March 29, 2024, and got positive reviews from critics.

[3] Saala

Saala is a really exciting action Tamil movie showing how two rival gangs are at war over a particular bar named Parvathi located in Royapuram. It has been closed for the last 20 years because of gang war issues.

They both want the tender and restore the bar to its glory. On the other hand, Punitha, a school teacher, is socially conscious and wants the bar shut down forever. This forms a three-way conflict, making the story full of exciting twists and surprises.

Manipaul SD directs this Tamil movie. The stars of the film include Dheeran Shree Natraj and Reshma Venkatesh in the lead roles. Theeson creates the music for the movie.

T G Vishwa Prasad produces the film under the People Media Factory banner. The movie Saala debuted on August 23, 2024, in cinemas.
