Seven years later, Arjun learns that Diya has been arrested in Portugal for the murder of Karthik Adhinarayanan, the son of a powerful businessman.
Determined to clear her name, Arjun travels to Portugal, where he teams up with Diya's lawyer, Indrani (Kalki Koechlin), to uncover the truth. Their investigation reveals a web of deceit involving Karthik's family, leading to a dramatic confrontation that tests the limits of love and justice.
Nesippaya's review
The Times of India rated the movie 2.5 out of 5, and a part of their review read, 'In Nesippaya, there's romance, comedy, action, suspense and drama. To the film's credit, the cuts between different genres and timelines have been done smoothly, without taking you out of the proceedings. But even when Nesippaya is pieced together beautifully, the romance and mystery portions fail to work individually. Once Nesippaya goes into full-on thriller mode, it tries to stick to a standard and seen-before template, which further works against the film's favour.'

What happens when a classic director chases the reels generation? The answer is Mani Ratnam's ‘Thug Life'
Filmmaker Mani Ratnam and actor Kamal Haasan collaborated last for Nayakan in 1987. The film was a blockbuster and continues to remain a high point in both their careers. Though Nayakan was heavily borrowed from Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather (1972), the performances, music and visual style allowed it to carve an iconic space in Tamil film history. And it continues to influence young filmmakers in various ways until now. So when the filmmaker and actor announced their coming together after 37 years, there was immense expectation for their new film Thug Life. However, post the very first show, the film has been uniformly panned by both critics and audiences. Ratnam's films were once inspired by Hollywood and Japanese cinema. But Thug Life shockingly comes across as a poor imitation of a Lokesh Kanagaraj film. There might have been a time in the past when it was enjoyable to indulge in a philosophical banter over whether cinema imitates life or life imitates cinema. But that debate is officially extinct today. Today, we wonder if cinema imitates YouTube videos or Instagram reels. Going by the attention span of the audience that has consistently been dropping, it is quite clear that the reels format is winning this game. In an effort to nail the blockbuster, young filmmakers like Kanagaraj (Vikram, 2022), Karthik Subbaraj (Retro, 2025), Nelson Dilipkumar (Jailer, 2023) and Adhik Ravichandran (Good Bad Ugly, 2025) are increasingly making films that resemble a compilation of unrelated Insta reels — but each delivering an adrenaline punch. In the process, storytelling, character development, narrative progression and emotional connection are all gladly sacrificed to keep the audience engaged at every moment. This is achieved through recurring sequences of extreme violence, action and bloodshed, adrenaline-filled, often illogical, twists and turns in the narrative, reusing iconic Ilaiyaraaja or Deva's songs from the '80s and '90s, hat-tipping moments from old classic films of the same male star and a post-climax surprise scene that should mandatorily hint at a potential sequel. So, instead of narrating a story that gradually builds to the climax, what we witness is a series of climaxes. This is the equivalent of doing away with a five-course meal and replacing every course with different desserts for a sugar rush. While this often tends to exhaust the audience by the end of the film, it does help in keeping them completely engaged throughout its running time. In his effort to compete with contemporary filmmakers, Mani Ratnam has chosen to make an anti-Mani Ratnam film this time. While he was lauded in the past for exhibiting his mastery over the amalgamation of light, sound and emotion, he has chosen to do away with it in Thug Life. Instead, he has attempted to make a reel-collage film. However, Thug Life proves that the filmmaker is still caught up in the old world of emotion and drama and might not be fully convinced by the new kind of filmmaking. In particular, he doesn't seem to relish violence or going over-the-top as much as contemporary filmmakers do. So, in trying to find a balance between the old-world emotional drama and the new-world adrenaline rush, his new film lands neither here nor there. It completely lacks emotional connection, but at the same time, the filmmaker's understatedness fails to offer the thrills of an over-the-top film. While it might be considered blasphemy to make this comparison, when one contrasts Thug Life with Ravichandran's Good Bad Ugly, it is evident why the former failed with the audience. Ravichandran's film was unabashed in its quest to thrill the audience. It willingly buries story and emotion under the deep ocean and focuses primarily on being deliciously over-the-top. It managed to create both a charm and an element of irony where it both hero-worshipped and parodied its male star. Unfortunately, Mani Ratnam's film has no such takeaway. Instead, in its greedy effort to have the cake and eat it too, it falls flat. The writer is a Chennai-based filmmaker

'Kuberaa' censored U/A; Will Dhanush starrer be the third longest Tamil film of all time? producer clarifies
As Dhanush's much-anticipated film, 'Kuberaa' gears up for a grand theatrical release on June 20, discussions around its runtime have taken center stage. Directed by Sekhar Kammula and featuring Rashmika Mandanna and Nagarjuna alongside Dhanush, the pan-Indian film has been made in five languages, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. While the film's teaser recently earned a warm reception from fans, the latest update on its runtime sparked a wave of surprise. Kuberaa's 3-hour-plus runtime surprises fans The official censor board certification revealed that 'Kuberaa' runs for 195 minutes that is, 3 hours and 15 minutes, an unusually long duration that has led to speculation about whether the film will be trimmed either before or after release. With recent big films like 'Indian 2' undergoing edits post-release due to runtime complaints, fans began wondering if 'Kuberaa' would follow a similar route. As of now, 'Kuberaa' is the third longest Tamil film of all-time after the 1960 Tamil film 'Parthiban Kanavu' (3 hours and 39 minutes) and the 2005 release 'Thavamai Thavamirundhu' (3 hours 24 minutes). Producer Sunil clears the air Producer Sunil clarified the rumors in an open statement while speaking with Great Andhra. "Kuberaa: We have censored the final copy to prevent last-minute tensions," he clarified. We'll now trim it down to about two hours and fifty minutes. Nobody will be able to watch this movie in 150 minutes if we cut it down to two hours and thirty minutes. His remarks show that while maintaining the film's essential emotional and narrative depth, the team is cognizant of audience preferences. Final post-production in progress There are high expectations for Kuberaa's release because final technical work is still ongoing and the runtime is now anticipated to be closer to two hours and fifty minutes. The filmmakers seem committed to finding the ideal balance between audience comfort and artistic intent, and the film's emotional impact and character-driven storytelling seem to call for a longer format.
