![]() ![]() Films like Seethakaathi and Junga also made references to the ‘mixture man’. The ‘mixture man’ is a jibe at the current deputy CM of Tamil Nadu, O Panneerselvam, who was widely criticised for being a puppet at the time of the jallikattu protests. Raja’s claims, however, backfired badly with Vijay receiving the support of the public and the media alike.Īpart from these films, Tamil cinema has also come up with a new stock character – a man eating mixture all the time. #LKG MOVIE DOWNLOAD TAMILGUN FULL#The BJP’s National Secretary H Raja pointed out that Vijay’s full name was Joseph Vijay and claimed that it was because of this that he was against the BJP. However, it was the BJP which objected to Mersal for dialogues on demonetisation, GST, and building a hospital in place of a temple. Mersal : Like Sarkar, Vijay’s 2017 film also released for Deepavali. The film is about an army man who gets sucked into the digital world and learns about data theft. Irumbuthirai : PS Mithran’s action film with Vishal in the lead questioned several central government policies such as Aadhaar, demonetisation and GST. From the whole ‘Dharmayudham’ drama at the Marina to Sasikala’s sabadham, and even references to a certain 'Thatha’, the film took digs at the state of Tamil Nadu’s politics. However, it also parodied politicians in the state. Tamizh Padam 2 : CS Amudhan’s sequel to the first parody film took on several mainstream cinema tropes. And in the background is a hoarding with the name ‘H Jara’, a reference to the BJP’s National Secretary who is from Tamil Nadu. While the film was set in Mumbai and mostly spoke of saffron parties, in the end, it shifts to Tamil Nadu to suggest that a similar revolution was beginning in the state. Turning the Ramayana on its head, the film made a strong statement against Hindutva and established how intertwined private property, gender and caste are. Kaala : Pa Ranjith’s second Rajinikanth film was a direct attack on saffron politics. However, it did not gain the notoriety that Sarkar later did. From how the state government mismanaged the 2015 floods (including holding up relief work in order to paste stickers) to making fun of the Jayalalithaa statue fiasco, resort politics and reminding the audience about the 2000 Dharmapuri bus burning incident, the film had several references. The film was even bolder than Sarkar in depicting real life political incidents in Tamil Nadu. ![]() NOTA : Anand Shankar’s NOTA was Vijay Deverakonda’s debut in Tamil. Moreover, the antagonist, played by Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, was called Komalavalli, which is believed to be Jayalalithaa’s real name. The film soon ran into controversy because of its references to real life political incidents in the state. Sarkar : Also produced by Sun Pictures, Vijay’s Deepavali release directed by AR Murugadoss was about an NRI who decides to take on the politicians in the state after someone casts his vote. The film also had the antagonist (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) heading a saffron party, the cadre of which indulges in moral policing for Valentine’s Day and cow protection. He also took a potshot at Jayalalithaa’s famous war cry “Seiveergala!”, saying that it wasn’t enough to ask the question but that his supporters had to do it. The actor, who has taken the plunge into politics, made a few references to how things stood in the state, in the guise of resolving issues in the canteen of the college where he works as hostel warden. Petta : Produced by Sun Pictures and directed by Karthik Subbaraj, Petta had Rajinikanth playing the lead. The song questioned the arrest of several activists for questioning the government on various infrastructure projects and other issues. The makers followed it up with the release of the song ‘Very Very Bad’, which featured several prominent social and political activists from the state, along with lead actor Jiiva and music director Santhosh Narayan. Gypsy : The teaser of Joker director Raju Murugan’s next, Gypsy, suggested that the film will be political in nature. Directed by Prabhu, the film has Priya Anand playing the female lead. Sellur Raja’s thermocol fiasco, Kamal’s attempt to use Bigg Boss Tamil as a political plank, Vishal’s efforts to jump into politics, and the general trend of cinema stars starting political parties all find mention. From gau rakshaks to spending Rs 3,000 crore on a statue and doing ‘fitness’ videos, the trailer obviously satirises the Modi-led BJP government at the centre. LKG : The trailer of the film shows a TN politician, played by RJ Balaji, aspiring to move to national politics. Here’s a look at films, upcoming and released, which take a potshot at the government. ![]()
