From unofficial takes on MGR and M. Karunanidhi in Iruvar to official biopics like NTR: Kathanayakudu and Yatra, here’s a list of political biopics from the South.
According to news reports, Indian political parties spent a total of $5 billion in the 2014 General Elections. Compared to such a huge amount, 100 crores on a movie seems like peanuts. That is probably why the entire film reeks of dishonesty
The biopic isn’t free of blemishes, or uncalled for loyalty towards the Master, but it’s something that’ll take you back to the 80s where landlines ruled and resort politics made headlines
The first part of the biopic was artistic sadomasochism on the senses. But the writer can’t help but wait for the second part to release on February 14
