Shared this not to hype him up. Not everything has to be binary (hype or hate). But just don't come at me saying TK is naive. He is very much aware of the kind of cinema he's creatin and the rxns it ll generate. Which is y he's hell bent on not explaining it coz he wants ppl to..
....have their own interpretations. As he himself said 1000 doors to the past. His films r not everyone's cup of tea. I can totally get y some of em hate him n his films n I think it's justified too in their pov. Not everyone wants to struggle so much to piece a film together....
As he keeps saying it's for a niche crowd aka film nerds who r into this kind of cinema. Let em relish, have at it n enjoy. And TK is adamant on the kind of cinema he makes, so let's go easy on the avarukku onnum theriyathu bro narrative.

Watched it thrice, 1st tym just 2 watch, 2nd tym to understand. Then read all d theories & finally a 3rd tym to c which of those theories stick n which don't. So here's goes my interpretation.
Ok so let's lay out the pattern. The film is a mix of reality, delusions & d script. The cues to figure out which is which
1. Neck bird Tattoo on Sam: This Tattoo appears during scenes not part of script (reality) and disappears during both hallucinations n scenes 4m script.
So let's start with the psychiatrist who gives her the pills (Red pills Blue pills is 4m Matrix n chk out what it means) Red pills basically bring u back to reality while the lack of takin it (blue pill) keeps u in simulated reality (script/hallucination) & Doc gives her Red pill
My Beast Theory: Was thinkin why wud he cast someone so short for the main terrorist role, I mean such roles generally remind us of Osama who's extremely tall,won't he know that it ll b laughable to see someone so short here, enakku ennamo ivan venumnae spoof padam edutha feel 🤔
I mean think about it, everythin from the dumb terrorists to the dumb politicians to the climax stretch (which seems right out of a Sampoornesh film) u cant take anythin abt the film seriously except ofcourse Vj na who seems to genuinely believe he is in a serious espionage film
...and seriously doin action set pieces. Enakku ennamo Nelson spoof padam thaan eduthrukkan aana enna atha vj na kitta sollama eduthrukkan nu thonuthu, basically he pulled off an "Assault Kumaru" film 😷😷😷
Intend to do a Karthik Subbaraj Film Marathon 4m today, with #JagameThandhiram a week away, an opportunity to revisit his films in d chronological order, one film a day so I can wrap it up on wednesday n keep free thursday late hours or say Friday 12 am 4 #JagameThandhiramFDFS 🕺
Ennama Nadikkranyaa level performance from VJS in Pizza, the whole haunted house conceit is actually quite flimsy enuf to engage but it is him who sells u in on it.
