‘Tribanadhari Barbarik' theme song struck a haunting chord with listeners
A new wave of curiosity has swept through Telugu cinema with the announcement of Tribanadhari Barbarik, an upcoming anthology film written and directed by Mohan Srivatsa. With its intriguing structure, layered narrative, and mysterious central element — a book titled Tribanadhari — the film is generating significant buzz. The story interweaves multiple characters and timelines, all connected through the enigmatic book. Featuring a powerhouse cast including Sathyaraj, Vasishta Simha, Satyam Rajesh, Udhyabhanu, Sanchi Rai, Kranthi Kiran, VTV Ganesh, and Motta Rajendran, the film brings together a mix of veteran performers and fresh talent. However, how their lives intersect remains a closely guarded secret. Amplifying the intrigue is the recently released Barbarik Theme Song, which has struck a haunting chord with listeners. Composed by the experimental Infusion Band and penned by lyricist Sanare, the track blends soulful Indian melodies with atmospheric sounds. A chorus of powerful voices — Krishna Chaitanya, Sai Charan, Shiva, Harsha Vardhan, Valli Gayathri, Sindhuja Srinivasan, Nada Priya, Brundha — and a rap segment by Aditya Iyengar adds layers to the film's mood, mirroring the multi-threaded storytelling. Technically, the film boasts solid backing. Produced by Vijaypal Reddy, the visuals by DOP Kushendar Ramesh Reddy and the editing by Marthand K. Venkatesh are expected to enhance the film's narrative depth. Srinivas Punna's art direction will help transport viewers across timelines and realities. Tribanadhari Barbarik seems poised to be more than just an anthology — it aims to be a philosophical and emotional experience, inviting audiences to decode a cinematic puzzle.

Debutant director Karthikeyan Mani: Tamil cinema has created a brand of ticket-worthy experience for small films
My film would portray an accurate depiction of Madras,' proclaims debutant director Karthikeyan Mani while talking to us about his upcoming comedy drama, Madras Matinee . Elaborating further, he shares, 'The film revolves around a father ( Kaali Venkat ), who isn't treated well in the outside world, going through a crisis after witnessing a gap between himself and his children. His story will be narrated in the film by a sci-fi writer, played by Sathyaraj sir.' 'I DIDN'T THINK SATHYARAJ SIR WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ACTING IN A DEBUTANT'S FILM' About casting Kaali Venkat and Sathyaraj for his film, he says, 'I needed a person like Kaali Venkat to play the father character and he immediately connected with his role and the film. I didn't think Sathyaraj sir would be interested in doing this role. But, to my surprise, he agreed to do it when we went and showed him a few of the film's portions.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Has Honda Done It Again?

TheFactualist Undo 'IN TAMIL CINEMA, THE LOWER MIDDLE-CLASS IS ASSOCIATED WITH VIOLENCE FOR THE SAKE OF DRAMA' 'Generally, in Tamil cinema, the lower middle-class and slum dwellers are associated with violence for the sake of drama. I think we are a stable society that's not too prone to violence,' he shares and adds, 'I feel the dedication our people show towards their family isn't often depicted on our screen. To make a film on that aspect is the most meaningful part I could do as a filmmaker.' 'MAINSTREAM DOCUMENTARIES DON'T ROMANTICISE OUR CULTURES' Madras Matinee focuses on the people living in Chennai rather than its landscape, informs the filmmaker. 'We have several microcultures across Tamil Nadu. Though I'm happy that vloggers cover them, we don't have a mainstream documentary culture to romanticise them. There is room to use different cultures around us in our films,' he shares. 'WE NEED SEVERAL MID-SIZED FILMS TO KEEP THE ECOSYSTEM GOING' As a budding flimmaker, Karthikeyan feels encouraged at the recent success of midbudget films. 'It's good for the industry. An ecosystem fostering different sets of films and producers is important. You need a pool of good mid-sized films to keep that ecosystem going. Also, similar to what Malayalam cinema has done, Tamil cinema has created a brand of ticket-worthy moviegoing experience for small films,' he says.
