It’s the week of Deepavali! This year, we revisit the 2018 film Vada Chennai by acclaimed director Vetrimaaran, which underperformed at the box office when it was first released but has since gained a cult following. It stars Dhanush and follows a skilled carrom player from North Chennai who becomes entangled in the city’s underworld and power struggles over several decades. We review the film, and then on Take Two, we discuss your favourite movies and series about revenge.
