Yesterday saw Vantage point. Chanceeeela...awesome movie. Ten minutes into the movie, you will know this is different. Probably we've a oscar winner, for interesting screenplay, in our midst. Oru plot. 7 views. Namma ManiRatnam Kamalhasan use panna technique thaan. For those who remember this technique was actually a lift from one age old Sivaji movie (Andha Naal-Now that what i call a classic). But unlike the Mani n Kamal movies where they had izhuthufied it into different plots, this one has just one plot. Oru assasination attempt plus bomb blast. The same scene comes for 6 or 7 times inthe movie. I think the director would've used some dozen teams each with a dozen cameras of their own and edited them wonderfully into one tight piece. Dennis Quaid(?) reminds a lot of Harrison Ford in many scenes minus the smirky grin. Kathai ennamo oneline thaan. Actual scenesnu paatha montha oru 7 8 scene thaan. But the way in which ithas been shot and told is amazing. Tamizhla dub panna Antha 23 minsnu title poduvanga nenakren. U.S president gets assasinated in a public meeting and the site itself gets bombed.

What makes a drama series tick, in OTT, that too in Tamil? The question should've been pretty straight forward and not as difficult as it is for making a successful movie, for drama series are dime a dozen across scores of TV channels and none of them are found wanting for audience. The more the cry the merrier the TRP. In that context, the only challenge that OTT platforms might've had while streaming tamil series must've been to choose the path - either the well trodden and worn out cryathons aligning with Satellite channels or try for something genre specific like how they do across English and other foreign languages. This is where Heartbeat series in Hotstar finds the fine balance between being a soap oppaari (no pun intended) in tv and carving a niche OTT audience. While the setup might've been familiar one for Hindi audience with so many series happening on hospital based storyline, i guess this is a first for tamil. The first season was more on establishing the...
