Here's Bottom 10 Tamil movies from 2024 that pander to D ideology by either targeting a micro community, or by peddling anti-H, or anti-nationalistic communist dialogues.

These films will have to be named and shamed, for these are the Gems of Dravidawood:

1) Ayalaan - great care is taken for a 5 sec "comedy" clip making a random TB mama fall into the sewage drain.

To pick a junior artist, dress him up in a TB mama attire, do multiple retakes to get it right requires ideological passion.

In D-wood film, villain's company is named "Aaryan" industries.

2) Lal Salaam - imagine a director going out of the way in her audio launch to claim that superstar is not a Sanghi.

And then makes a substandard secular film with Rajini as Moideen Bhai giving lessons on haram and halal.

What's a secular film, u ask? Simple. One in which the do-gooder hero is a M and the villain is a H.

Thanks to the lost hard disk, otherwise LoL Salaam would have won all Acadummy awards only.

3) Hit List - in the debut film of Vijay Kanishka, son of director Vikraman, a deliberate scene is cooked up to malign Hs.

In covid times ICU, one comrade doc requests for oxygen for a pregnant woman from a fellow patient as supply is scarce.

The one who selfishly denies help to a pregnant woman struggling to breathe could have just been anyone. But no.

Dravidawood will make sure this random selfish character is dressed in saffron, having a japa mala, smeared in vibhuti, kungumam, having a Ganesha idol next to his hospital bed to show that religion makes one forget humanity.

And according to Tamil cinema, it is always, one religion's practitioners only that forget humanity. Always.

4) In the movie 'Blue Star' directed by Ranjith's AD Jayakumar, one of the nepo-kids who gets picked for cricket at the expense of the (underprivileged) protagonist is named Ashwin.

Do you know which cricketer the team talked to, for promoting this same movie?
Ravichandran Ashwin.

Just the usual Kollywood shenanigans.

If characters with -ve shades are named Ashwin, what is the protagonist's name you ask? Ranjith.

These subpar movies have extensive support from the ecosystem - see FC and TNM reviews, for, these movies exist for posterity to further their ideology.

5) Boat might be the most brazen D movie of 2024, that seeks to consolidate its D in-group against the Aryan outgroups.

With deliberately chosen characters & dialogues, this poorly staged film would put Goebells to shame in terms of propaganda.

6) Raayan makes no fuss about metaphorically glorifying Raavana, who fights for his sister's revenge, even when his brothers (Vibheeshana) betray him.

Dhanush himself writes such lyrics: "அடங்காத அசுரன் தான், வணங்காத மனுஷன்தான்" glorifying Asuras as some rebels, a D trope.

7) Raghu Thaatha - a political satire film about Hindi imposition, directed by Suman of 'The Family Man' fame.

With dialogues openly glorifying EVR and with scenes where the heroine is at the forefront of protests demanding shutting down of Prachar Sabha, D-wood has normalised Hindi hate for government school kids, even as their leaders run CBSE schools with Hindi being taught well.

8) Thangalaan, of Pa Ranjith is yet another cherry on top of his Dravidian cake, rated 5/5 stars on the world's most neutral news portal TNM.

Ranjith's project is to pitch Buddhism as the antidote to Br@hmanism, and also to make an imaginary historical case that the downtrodden people were all Buddhists.

In a 100 years, this film will be cited as the source in D research circles. You can already see how Sura and Asura have been ridiculously defined by such researchers for their agenda.

9) Vettaiyan, that features Superstar, fondly referred to as Thalaivar (leader) by his fans, leads his followers to glorify Macualay - the Former Paymaster General of the United Kingdom.

The good fellas in this film are named - Saranya, Guna, Patrick, Nazeema while the ones on the bad side are - Swetha Dhakshinamoorthy, Harish Kumar, Natraj Shanmugam.

We got it, Gnanavel. Criminals will not be found in colonies, only in corporate houses, except producers who fund your films.

10) Viduthalai 2 - touted as the weakest Vetrimaaran film, is also perhaps his first BO failure.

VM threw all caution and subtlety to the winds, and went full-on lecture mode in Viduthalai 2. At one point, you wouldn't know if you're sitting in a cinema theatre or in some Communist political meeting.

Apart from justifying Ma0ist vi0lence, VM subtly gives a hat tip to one great leader who put his head on a railway track during a protest.

For the fact-checker that VM is, it'd have been nicer if he had checked which platform the train came and which platform the leader put his head upon. But why let facts get in the way of a good Dravidawood propaganda?
