Thalaivii
Drama153 min
Thalaivii follows J. Jayalalithaa from Tamil cinema stardom into the rough arena of Tamil Nadu politics, charting the alliances and power struggles that shape her rise to the chief minister’s office. Kangana Ranaut is Jayalalithaa, first seen as a major screen presence and then as a woman navigating a male-dominated political world. At the center of that transition is her bond with M. G. Ramachandran, with Arvind Swamy bringing the influential actor-politician into the story. The film traces how a public figure known for fame and glamour becomes one of the state’s most formidable political leaders.
