Sravan and Tarun break down Paisa Vasool's verdict on Tamil cinema's biggest 2026 surprise: a sincere first half, a second half that forgets it exists, and a post-credits tease nobody asked for.
Vijay's 69th - and reportedly final - film before fully stepping into politics as Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister.

In this episode of Paisa Vasool, Sravan and Tarun break down Maa Inti Bangaaram, the third collaboration between Samantha and director B.V.
