#5 - Thiruchitrambalam and Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu
Description
As Adithya Muthukumar, Pranaav Dhakshesh, and Sabarish Sankaran convene after a very long time, they pit stars Dhanush and STR against each other, by discussing their most recent films Thiruchitrambalam and Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu. We talk about the DnA combo, our favorite Yuvan albums with both the stars, Dhanush's one-commercial-film-followed-by-one-critically-acclaimed-film formula (and how Thiruchitrambalam breaks that norm), Nithya Menen being underused by cinema, AR Rahman's constant reinvention of Tamil cinematic score, the new collaborative Gautham Menon, Simbu's transformation into a star that excites us and more. Enjoy!
