‘Thaai Kizhavi’ movie review: Radikaa Sarathkumar’s masala comedy of gold standards signals a commanding new filmmaking voice

‘Thaai Kizhavi’ movie review: Radikaa Sarathkumar’s masala comedy of gold standards signals a commanding new filmmaking voice

Published by Parlour News

A cinephile friend once said how cinema, both the art form and industry, is a thriving, sentient being that knows who it must embrace or let go, and when it needs what at any specific time. And if we were to believe in that fantastical idea, the box office rut in 2026 feels like a reckoning call for Tamil cinema’s next torchbearer to rise to the occasion. There’s a new filmmaker in the block, who, by all means, seems to be the recalibrating voice Tamil mainstream cinema needed. Sivakumar Murugesan’s debut Thaai Kizhavi is a film that feels like the perfection of an archetype many filmmakers have been toying with over the last few years — it’s a rollicking, leave-you-in-splits comedy that surprises you every step of its way, has a pressing emotional core, fields for the right progressive register, and leaves you feeling thoroughly satisfied. In the colourful world of Thaai Kizhavi, everything and anything seems spring-loaded to tickle you or sting you. There’s a tattoo of Kamal Haasan’s face on a man’s chest …

Corbin Bosch delivered a brilliant spell during South Africa’s win over the UAE in the Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 clash on February 18 at Arun Jaitley. His economical spell includes a three-wicket haul at an economy of 3.00, set up South Africa’s 6-wicket victory against the United Arab Emirates.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s commanding 175 turns promise into permanence on a grand stage as India beat England by 100 runs to lift sixth U19 World Cup | Cricket News

When the noise finally ebbed at Harare Sports Club, India stood crowned Under-19 world champions for the sixth time, the final decisively shaped by a batting performance that seized control long before England could settle into the contest. The 100-run margin reflected the imbalance on the scoreboard, but the tone of the match had been set much earlier, through an innings that dictated tempo and redefined possibilities. Central to that surge was a 14-year-old left-hander who arrived at the summit clash carrying consistency but still searching for a truly defining moment. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s tournament numbers – 2, 72, 40, 52, 30 and 68 – pointed to reliability and composure, yet the innings capable of bending a match decisively had remained elusive. On Friday, with the title at stake, he bridged that gap emphatically, producing a commanding 175 off 80 balls that effectively put the contest beyond England’s reach. The opening phase of his innings was marked by caution rather than bravado. Sooryavanshi began by feeling his way in, collecting just two boundaries from his first …

Published by Webster

Ranchi Royals delivered a dominant all-round performance to secure a comprehensive 5–0 victory over Shrachi Bengal Tigers in their second outing of the Women’s Hero Hockey India League 2025–26 season at the Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Munda Astro Turf Stadium in Ranchi on Tuesday. The home side took early control of the contest, dictating possession and creating sustained pressure inside the opposition circle. Their intent was reflected in the opening half alone, during which they registered 17 circle entries. After an early penalty corner went begging, the breakthrough arrived in the 10th minute when Hannah Cotter finished neatly after a well-worked move down the left flank. Ranchi Royals doubled their advantage four minutes later from a penalty corner situation. Lucina von der Heyde’s initial effort was blocked, but Beauty Dungdung reacted quickest to the rebound to make it 2–0. Shrachi Bengal Tigers struggled to cope with the pace and width of the Royals’ attack, though goalkeeper Jennifer Rizzo produced a pair of important saves late in the second quarter to prevent further damage before the …

A domestic semifinal, even if it were to involve the home side, would not be an enticing prospect for the otherwise cricket-loving Ahmedabad populace to make the testing march and climb inside the world’s biggest cricket facility. Abhiraj, who recently returned to the city after a fair few years studying and plying his cricketing wares in North Middlesex in London, had his expectations firmly in check when he turned up to watch a “friend’s friend” play for Gujarat on day three of the Ranji Trophy semifinal against Kerala. “If Axar Patel were to play this game for Gujarat, perhaps the turnout would be better. Unlike the County Championship games in England where you’d have a decent turnout despite a nominal fee, in India you need the big international names to turn up for domestic games to grab attention. In England, it’s part of the culture and the county games warrant serious interest,” Abhiraj tells The Indian Express from a stand where he is seated alone, adjacent to another where the concurrent number pressed back and …

Mithali Raj Lauds RCB’s Commanding Win Over Delhi Capitals In WPL

Published by Webster

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) secured a dominant eight-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) in their Women’s Premier League (WPL) match at Vadodara, riding on the outstanding performances from Renuka Singh, Georgia Wareham, and captain Smriti Mandhana. Former Indian captain Mithali Raj lauded RCB’s performance, highlighting the team’s control from the very first over. With this win, RCB has two wins in two matches and is at the top of the table. DC is in the third spot, with a win and loss each. “Right from the first over when Renuka Singh dismissed Shafali Varma, RCB took control of the game. From that moment on, Smriti Mandhana has not put a foot wrong. Every bowling change she made resulted in a breakthrough. The way she led the innings, along with Danni Wyatt, provided a strong foundation for their batting line-up,” Raj said on JioHotstar. After RCB won the toss and elected to bowl first, they were off a fine start as dangerous Shafali Varma gave a simple catch to Smriti Mandhana at mid-off on a …

Vidarbha pacer Aditya Thakare picked up his sixth five-wicket haul in first-class cricket, while left-handed batter Yash Rathod struck a half-century in the second innings as last year’s runners-up Vidarbha took a commanding 297-run lead against Tamil Nadu in their Ranji Trophy quarterfinal here on Monday. Thakare, whose four-wicket burst had TN hanging on the ropes at 159/6 after the second day’s play on Sunday, broke the resistance of tail-ender Sonu Yadav (32) as Sai Kishore’a side was dismissed for 225 in 64.3 overs, giving Vidarbha a handsome 128-run first-innings lead. Vidarbha, who have not lost a single match this season, then overcame an unimpressive start to reach 169/5 at close on day 3, an overall lead of 297, with Rathod batting confidently on 55 (119 balls) in the company of Harsh Dubey (29 not out off 55 balls). Tamil Nadu, who were in dire straits at 159/6 on Sunday, lost their skipper Sai Kishore (7), who could add just one run to his overnight score. The team seemed to be heading for …
