Selvam

Selvam’s got his name stamped all over “Kora” (2025), and honestly, it’s not hard to see why once you get into the thick of it. The story? Oh, it’s a wild mix—think crime, desperation, and a small town that feels like it’s been simmering with secrets for years. Kora, the main guy, isn’t your typical hero. He’s rough around the edges, probably made more bad choices than good ones, but that’s what makes him so gripping to watch. You kind of want to root for him, even when he’s knee-deep in trouble. The film doesn’t waste time spoon-feeding you the plot. Instead, it just throws you right into the chaos—betrayals, heartbreaks, and those tiny moments of hope that keep popping up like stubborn weeds. You meet all sorts: local goons, desperate families, cops who may or may not be on the right side of the law. There’s this tension humming underneath everything, like everyone’s waiting for the next bad thing to happen. Visually, it’s gritty, like someone rubbed dirt into every frame. The soundtrack? Man, it sticks with you—haunting, raw, and sometimes just plain weird. But it works. And Selvam, well, he’s not just there for show. His performance is the kind that gets under your skin. He’s got this haunted look, but also flashes of humor, which somehow makes all the darkness feel real. By the end, you’re left wondering who really comes out on top. Maybe nobody. Or maybe Kora, in his own messed-up way. Either way, it messes with you.
