Here’s a List of Top 20 Indian Films of 2024. Films 11-20 are here; films 1-10 were last week.
11. THANGALAAN by Pa Ranjith, Tamil: Visceral, period film, part fable, on the exploitation of indigenous people and low castes by local landlords and the British, in order to mine gold. Starring Chiyaan Vikram and Parvathy Thiruvothu; on Netflix.
12. MEIYAZHAGAN (“Unexpectedly”) by C Prem Kumar, Tamil: Absolutely delightful family film about a man returning to his village for a wedding and meeting a generous relative whose name he can’t remember. On our loosening traditional roots. Starring Karthi and Arvind Swami. On Netflix.
