- Puri Jagannadh completes 26 years in cinema
- Vijay Sethupathi shares a heartfelt tribute
- What makes his storytelling style so iconic?
We just saw Vijay Sethupathi tip his hat to a true legend. Puri Jagannadh has been making movies for 26 years. That is a long time.
The vibe of a Puri Jagannadh film is unmistakable. It’s loud, raw, and full of punchy energy. You can spot his aesthetic from a mile away—think high-contrast shots, fast cuts, and heroes who talk like they own the world. It’s bold visual storytelling.
Vijay Sethupathi called it a “legacy built with courage.” We have to agree. Staying in the game for over two decades is no small feat.
Speaking of big names in cinema, did you see how Shah Rukh Khan’s King is staying cool despite all the blockbuster competition? It’s a busy time for movies.
Sometimes we need to step away from the blockbusters, though. Like when Virat and Anushka found some quiet time in Vrindavan. Or when we look at fresh voices like Miguel Ángel Jiménez tackling real issues.
Our Take
Puri Jagannadh isn’t for everyone. He’s polarizing. But he never plays it safe. That is exactly what cinema needs. We love directors who aren’t afraid to be weird.
