Review Of Kutty Story: Poor Anthology, Redeemed By Vijay Sethupathi
Kutty Story(Tamil) Starring Gautham Menon, Amala Paul, Vinoth Kishan, Amitash Pradhan, Megha Akash, Sunaina, Varun, Sakshi Agarwal, Vijay Sethupathi and Aditi Balan Directed by Gautham Menon, Vijay, Venkat Prabhu and Nalan Kumarasamy Rating: ** Inconsistent, unconvincing and worse, haphazard, this Tamil anthology of 4 stories left me cold.

In Queen, we do not emphasize on the resemblances to any real-life personality: Gautam Menon
First things first!! Prolific Tamil director Gautham Menon’s webseries The Queen on the iconic Jayalalitha which starts streaming on 14 December, is taking the cautious route by semi-fictionalizing the story. Says Gautham with a straight face, “Our protagonist is named Shakthi Sheshadri played by the wonderful Ramya Krishnan. Shakthi is a renowned actress who rises to dizziyng heights of fame as an actress and then a politician.” Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
