S05E04 - தமிழ்ச் செல்வன் Movie discussion ft. Ram Murali

About this episode

The episode features a discussion on the lesser-known movie Thamizhchelvan starring Vijayakanth, with guest Ram Murali.

Hello Makkaley, In the fourth episode of this season, we have Ram Murali as our guest, and this is his maiden episode. Ram and I discuss one of Vijayakanth's lesser-known movies, directed by Bharathiraja, Thamizhchelvan. Vijayakanth plays an Honest IAS officer, and this movie is different because we won't see the usual Captain's antics, stunts, or the Punch dialogues, but a subtle Captain, which is different from most of his on-screen and off-screen personas.
