‘Journey’ Review: Director Cheran’s web series is a disappointing watch

Director cheran’s ott debut, ‘journey’ is a web series about five youngsters vying for a vacant position in a company. the show is crammed with stale ideas, says our review. .

Listen to Story

• Director Cheran makes his OTT debut with a series titled ‘Journey’, which is streaming on SonyLiv.
• The series revolves around five characters competing for a job in an automobile company.
• It intends to explore themes like ambition, perseverance, struggle, and oppression, but fails to do so effectively due to stale ideas and lack of detail.

Release Date: 12 Jan, 2024

Director Cheran is a Tamil filmmaker known for his realistic portrayal of complexities in human relationships in his films. His last directorial venture was ‘Thirumanam’ in 2019, which ended up being a failure. After four years, Cheran is all set to make his OTT debut with ‘Journey,’ now streaming on SonyLiv.

The story revolves around five characters — Ameer Sultan (Kalaiyarasan), Divya Bharathi (Latha), Raghav (Prasanna), Nitesh (Kashyap Barbhaya), and Pranav (Aari Arjunan) — who have reached the final round of interviews at an automobile company. The company’s owner (Sarathkumar) can select only one person for the job, which offers a monthly salary of Rs 4 lakh. The five candidates have different motives for securing the job, and their backstories unfold over the nine-episode series.

‘Journey’ is a show about these five different characters who go through difficulties in their respective lives. Nitesh is ousted from his home for a mistake he committed. Latha realises her potential when a man teaches her agriculture, while Pranav is a social activist, who takes a leap into politics. Meanwhile, Ameer is fighting a case in which he has been falsely accused. Raghav, who is employed in the US, is compelled to return to India due to sudden policy changes.

The series aims to explore the themes of ambition, perseverance, struggle, emotion and oppression. While the intention of ‘Journey’ remains pure, director Cheran does a half-baked job of exploring the topics in detail. Instead, the show is crammed with too many stale ideas, which makes it a tedious watch. The episode where Latha learns agriculture reminds us of the umpteen films where we are forced to learn about agriculture.

Raghav’s life in the US and the issues he faces due to visa policy changes strike a chord. However, this portion is shoddily made and barely scratches the surface. Though it portrays the struggles of immigrants, it hardly offers a nuanced take. The same goes for Nitesh and Pranav’s portions. Ameer’s life touches on some important topics, but it gets buried in the larger scheme of things.

However, the most absurd sequence is when actor Jayaprakash becomes a low-budget Sherlock Holmes to spy on the five interview candidates on the pretext of analysing their true capabilities.

• Trivia Despite this movie being a sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) , Josh Hutcherson is the only actor to return from that movie.
• Goofs (at around 58 mins) After Sean falls from the giant bee and injures his ankle against a log several individuals say he has a "dislocated ankle" and his stepfather and grandfather reset it quickly and easily as you would do with a dislocated shoulder. Although it is possible to "dislocate" your ankle it is not only very difficult to do, but due to the unique, and very stable, make-up of the ankle (unlike the shoulder) it only occurs in conjunction with either a fracture or multiple ruptured tendons of the area. Something that is very serious and extremely painful and definitely not something that could be easily remedied by 'popping it back into place' and then the individual being able to walk about and hike.

Hank : [singing] I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom, for me and for you. And I think to myself: What a wonderful world! I see giant bees, and I could have told ya: Don't trust Alexander - he's older than Yoda. And I think to myself: What a wonderful world! The island that we stand on... Well, it's currently sinking. Sending those secret codes - what the heck were you drinking? But it's all in the past, we wiped the slate clean! We're going to find Nemo's submarine! And you'll think to yourself: What a wonderful world. Oh, yeah...

Top 7 Must-Watch Tamil Travel Movies (Kollywood)

Spread the Word!

Travel movies in Kollywood or the Indian Tamil film industry are quite diverse. While some offer an offbeat take on fantasy/adventure, others showcase the true culture of cities and ethos. In both cases, we are presented with a journey that will envelop the audience and transport them into a world they yearn to be a part of. As wanderers ourselves, we love watching such cinema, learning a thing or two, and using them as inspirations for our tours and explorations. So, here are the top 7 Tamil movies that have inspired us to travel. Let’s get right to it.

7 Best Travel Movies In Tamil

Table of Contents

1. Aayirathil Oruvan (2010)

Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Historical

Aayirathil Oruvan is the perfect film to kick this list off. A tale about a missing archaeologist who went on an expedition to Vietnam in search of a prince of the Chola dynasty. What’s truly fascinating about this film is how it blends mythology, fantasy, and history. The film was quite ahead of its time, and even today, the concepts and themes portrayed stay relevant and can blow your mind away. 

As travelers, we loved the way different locations were showcased in the tale. They gave us a glimpse of what the previous eras would have looked like. The set pieces and diverse landscapes stirred the wanderlust within us. We wanted to explore the wild and become a part of nature.

Watch Link: The film is not available on any streaming platform. You can get the movie from other sources.

2. Kayal (2014)

Genre: Romance, Adventure, Slice of Life

Kayal is a film about two friends who wander around and explore different places around the country. The two are happy-go-lucky and want to seize every day. A series of misadventures leads the protagonist and his friend into the captivity of a few people, where they meet a woman named Kayal. As fate would have it, the two fall in love, but their tale still has a long way to go as they face numerous struggles and calamities that test their yearning to find each other. 

From the beginning, you will be hooked to this film as it portrays several picturesque locations such as waterfalls, forests, rope bridges, and more. However, even as the movie progresses, the cinematography portrays the different locations most aesthetically and preserves the culture of the regions it focuses on. This leaves viewers curious who want to know more about the places shown in the film and visit them if they ever get a chance.

3. Maara (2021)

Genre: Wanderlust, Adventure, Slice of Life

Maara is a remake of the Malayalam film Charlie. The film is about a man with a vagabond-like persona who tries to spread joy wherever he goes. A woman named Parvathi, who goes to a coastal town for a short vacation, notices a painting and tries to find the person behind it. The film portrays how destinies intertwine and how people find love. 

Maara is a very wholesome film focusing on themes such as carpe diem, minimalistic living, and more. The various locations showcased in the movie are picturesque and carry a sense of serenity with them. Almost every location can be added to your travel bucket list, and the best part is that it doesn’t create fantasy-like imagery of the various places. The picturization is grounded in reality, making this film perfect for travelers and explorers.

4. Vaazhl (2021)

Genre: Adventure, Mystery, Slice of Life

Vaazhl is a tale of an IT employee called Prakash with a monotonous life. A chance encounter with a woman named Yathramma takes Prakash down a road filled with travel, adventure, mystery, sadness, happiness, joy, and even peace. The film aims to portray the significance of traveling and how shared experiences can form long-lasting connections between strangers. 

Although the film seems to shift tonalities, its cinematography and the way it explores different destinations is unparalleled. The film ensures it doesn’t merely include aesthetic wide-angle shots of different places but also depicts different cultures, mindsets, and experiences travelers can have on their trip. Overall, the film has a serendipitous and adventurous vibe and can keep the viewers hooked until the end.

5. Peranmai (2009)

Genre: Action, Thriller, Adventure

Peranmai is an intriguing action-thriller about a few NCC cadets and their leader trying to stop a group of mercenaries who want to sabotage India’s space mission. The film is all about survival, exploring the themes of camping, living in the forest, and being a part of the wild in great detail. 

The different facets of the tale are peppered with subtle tips and tricks to survive in the wild and how nature always favors the brave. The film also covers themes such as caste discrimination, societal hierarchy, and more through various character arcs and plot points. Overall, the story is intriguing and sparks the idea of camping in the woods and exploring rainforests. 

Watch Link  

6. Nitham Oru Vaanam (2022)

Genre: Romance, Slice of Life, Nostalgic

Nitham Oru Vaanam is yet another offbeat tale that focuses on themes such as relationships and love but portrays them through travel and experiences. The film follows Arjun, who has OCD and gets depressed after his to-be-wife calls off their marriage. Arjun’s therapist decides to help him with different stories about real people that could motivate him to have a better life. One thing leads to another as Arjun decides to travel to different places and meet the people in the stories. 

Arjun’s trip not only helps him understand people, relationships, and circumstances but also offers insight into different regions of the country. The characters visit several places where Arjun is exposed to new cultures, mindsets, and ways of life. The film conveys that traveling can broaden your horizons and make you more open-minded about life.

7. O Kadhal Kanmani (2015)

Genre: Romance, Slice of Life, Relationships

O Kadhal Kanmani, or OK Kanmani, is one of the most wholesome and relatable romance films in modern times. Although the film doesn’t explore the theme of traveling, it portrays the city of Mumbai in ways that very few directors can. The vintage architecture of South Bombay, the classic stretch of Marine Drive, the bustling vegetable markets, and more are depicted immaculately. 

You see the different facets of the city, whether it’s the summer season or the monsoons. Every frame brings this city of dreams alive; even if you have visited the place, you will be awestruck. The film also showcases a few monuments and places in Ahmedabad, which add more layers to the characters in the film. Overall, the film inspired us to see old places with new eyes and helped us reinvent the idea of traveling.

Top Indian Star Katrina Kaif Recounts Her Cinematic Journey: ‘Film Would Become My Entire Life’ (EXCLUSIVE)

By Naman Ramachandran

• Oscar-Winning ‘Elephant Whisperers’ Writer Sets Teen Drama Amazon Series ‘Amber Girls School’ (EXCLUSIVE) 2 days ago

The times are changing across Indian cinema and Katrina Kaif , one of the top stars of the country, is changing with them.

The top 10 Indian films in the post-pandemic year 2023 were all star-driven blockbusters and Kaif was in the mix with Bollywood action extravaganza “ Tiger 3 ,” the latest in Yash Raj Films’ spy universe, where she starred alongside Salman Khan. 2024 has seen a paradigm shift in that, with five of the top 10 films being what are known locally as “content films,” where a strong storyline takes precedence over spectacle.

Popular on Variety

“I was in love with the book. I was just like, ‘Wow,’ I mean, it was everything you wanted in this space. It was tender, poetic, it had that very mysterious Hitchcockian quality to it. It had drama, it had mystery, it had murder, it had everything in the most unique and novel way,” Kaif told Variety over a zoom call from Mumbai.

With six sisters scattered around the globe and her mother running a school for underprivileged children in southern India, Kaif had a peripatetic childhood. At the age of 18, she became a model in India and was soon rubbing shoulders with the best in the business. Films inevitably followed. Her acting debut, 2003 crime thriller “Boom,” was a critical and commercial disaster despite the presence of Bollywood heavyweights Amitabh Bachchan and Jackie Shroff. It is clear that Kaif has expunged the film from her memory. When asked to recount her cinematic journey Kaif says: “I think my first foray was in a South Indian film, a Telugu film actually [2004 romcom “Malliswari” where she plays the titular role of a wealthy heiress]. And from there, I started getting on-camera experience and then working my way slowly, meeting directors, producers. I felt that I had done what I wanted to do in the modeling industry, I felt ‘okay, I’ve understood the scene.’ I had a few targets and goals and I’d achieved those. And for me, my desire and my heart was in the movies.”

Upon the suggestion of filmmaker Dharmesh Darshan, Kaif, who is now known for her exceptional dancing skills, underwent intense training under the late guru Veeru Krishnan, who was an exponent of the Kathak dance form. “Dance is one thing, but I feel like Kathak is about expression. It’s about a feeling, it’s about expressing yourself through music. And that, for me was my foundation for movies,” Kaif says. “It was about understanding the emotion and the language of cinema. I was almost quiet, a little timid, very naive, I wasn’t sure of my identity in terms of what was my voice, my expression as a girl, as a woman. I was very young. So, I think that really helped me find my voice.”

Kaif also benefited from the sage advise of co-star Anil Kapoor (“Slumdog Millionaire”) on the sets of “Humko Deewana Kar Gaye” (2006) who told her to get into the headspace of the scene they were about to perform, rather than walking back and forth. “Having been surrounded by thespians, I was like a sponge, I was very eager to learn, and very open, I was not a person who ever had any airs or preconceived notions,” Kaif says.

Significant success followed. Kaif counts drama-romance “Namastey London” (2007) and comedies “Welcome” (2007) and “Singh Is King” (2008) among the highlights of her early career. Thriller “New York” (2009) was a turning point, Kaif says. The actor also lists comedy “Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani” (2009), political drama “Rajneeti” (2010) and coming-of-age film “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” (2011) as her standout films of that time.

The next chapter in Kaif’s journey featured big-budget high octane action films, including “Ek Tha Tiger” (2012) that kicked off the immensely successful spy universe, “Dhoom 3” (2013) and “Bang Bang” (2014). “I was doing exactly what I wanted to do. These were the filmmakers I wanted to work with,” Kaif says. Kaif’s love affair with dance also continued, with her being actively involved in the choreography. The actor also rates her work in action-adventure “Jagga Jasoos” (2017), drama “Zero” (2018) and cop film “Sooryavanshi” (2021), which was the first major Bollywood theatrical release post-COVID.

Meanwhile, the spy universe continued with “Tiger Zinda Hai” (2017) and “Ek Tha Tiger” (2023). A sequence set in a hammam (Turkish bath) is a particular highlight for the actor. “For me dance and action are similar in that sense – I need to be in there, I have to execute it,” Kaif says, adding that she rarely uses stunt doubles. The hammam sequence is a case in point where Kaif executed all the action herself as her double came down with COVID-19.

Kaif’s train of thought is interrupted as her phone rings. It’s her husband, the actor Vicky Kaushal . She’ll call him back later. Kaushal is also a perfect example of a changing Bollywood where the story can take precedence over spectacle. His 2023 filmography includes an extended appearance in top 10 hit, immigration drama “Dunki,” playing the lead in military hero biopic “Sam Bahadur” and headlining small-town romcom “Zara Hatke Zara Bachke.”

In 2023, the Indian film industry grew 14% to reach a value of $2.3 billion, within which theatrical revenues reached an all-time high of $1.4 billion. The number of screens grew 4% and fewer films released directly on digital platforms. Kaif’s current trajectory mirrors that growth.

“I’ve always put the audiences first and have tried to with my choices throughout my career. And now I think it’s about finding a balance, what story do I feel is going to connect with the audience? And what do I connect to personally and as an actor right now? What’s going to give me growth? What’s going to give me satisfaction? This is just exactly what I want to be doing right now,” Kaif says.

The West came calling recently, but circumstances at the time meant that Kaif had to turn the offer down. “I do believe it will happen, and I think that will be a whole new leaf in my book, so to speak, and really exciting,” Kaif says.
