The downfall of Tamil actor #Suriya’s Tamil Nadu market is interesting to me. I feel like it also explains a lot about #Kollywood’s market dynamics. Here is a small thread for some explanations behind all this.

#Suriya had a great career starting from #Ghajini (2005), it introduced him as a bankable commercial star to the Tamil audience.

After #Vijay and #Ajith started to give out commercial failures post 2007, #Suriya filled in the gap for family audiences temporarily. His successful movies continuously did better at the box office than #Vijay and #Ajith till the release of #Anjaan (2014).

People think it's cool to go on bike rides and post pics everywhere but this pic of #AjithKumar captures exactly what it feels like. Riding hundreds of kilometres a day is exhausting and our Indian weather is unforgiving. Then why do we riders enjoy doing it? (1/5)

Riding puts you into a meditative trance that makes you forget the stress and pressure we endure in our personal and private life every day. There's also something primal about being out there, open to the elements & all the risks that come with it. (2/5)

The biggest luxury during rides is finding that tea shop in the middle of nowhere which we use to refuel and stretch our legs. It also gives an opportunity to converse with the locals - something one wouldn't get to do in any other means of transport! (3/5)

Remembering #NaMuthukumar

It is not just romance that is best described by poetry.

What about the bond between parents and their children?

What about the relationships that can't quite be boxed?

Na Muthukumar had the answers

Is affection ever unconditional? Can we put a price on love... ever?
