On Vetri Maaran’s 46th birthday, his five tips for becoming a filmmaker

So how does Vetri Maaran strike a fine balance between art and commerce? Hear it from the man himself.

Vetri Maaran turns 46 today.

National Award-winning filmmaker Vetri Maaran, who is celebrating his 46th birthday on Saturday, is one of the new formidable voices in Tamil cinema. A disciple of iconic director Balu Mahendra, Vetri Maaran has succeeded where his mentor didn’t. While Balu Mahendra was a revered filmmaker who made some high-quality movies, he doesn’t have many box office hits to his credits. However, Vetri Maaran is one of the most commercially successful filmmakers today.

Vetri Maaran’s last film Asuran, starring his regular star Dhanush , had grossed a whopping Rs 100 crore at the box office. It is no mean feat for a filmmaker who usually makes emotionally heavy movies, which don’t follow the established grammar of commercial cinema.

vetrimaran college

Write, write, write

“Filmmaking is writing. Keep writing scripts over and over again. I have the liberty to make a movie without writing. But, I am not sure how long I can keep doing that. It is like Sehwag hitting sixes without footwork. If you lose the form, you can’t gain it back. So, we should play like Dravid. If you have your basics right, even when you are out of form, you can still deliver what you aspire for. Everybody should write. People tell me that they get stuck in the middle and can’t complete their scripts. Somehow, you should finish the script you start. The most gratifying feeling for a scriptwriter is when that person writes ‘The End’ on the script. Right or wrong, finish the script. And you should rewrite the story at least 10 times and share it with your friends for their opinion. Write, re-write, and forget. Do something else, go back to the script and write again. Writing is the alpha and omega (of filmmaking).”

Finding great stories

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by @chai_with_cinema

Vetri Maaran has shown a great interest in adapting Tamil literature for the big screen. His landmark films such as Visaranai and Asuran were based on Tamil novels. His upcoming films Viduthalai and Vaadivaasal are also based on existing literary materials. “Writing and cinema are two different mediums. Not all great novels have become great movies. But, some average novels have been turned into great movies. We should see whether a novel has a cinematic quality. For me, the main goal is to understand the world a novelist has created and convey the intentions of the novel in the same way as intended by the author.”

Job-satisfaction is important

“Balu Mahendra sir used to tell me that the only thing in our control is to make a movie to the best of our ability. But, the commercial success of the film is an accident. I give my 100 percent in everything I do and I also make my team do the same while making a movie. If the audience connects to the film, we are happy with it. But, we should always have full satisfaction in the job we have done.”

Location, location, location

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Movie maniacs (@movie.maniacss)

In Vetri Maaran’s films, the location is a character in itself. And having a clear idea about the geography of the film and establishing it at the very beginning is key to a strong narration. “I can’t tell a story without establishing the geography of the story first. For example, I would have established the geography of the village in Aadukalam when Dhanush and his friends try to escape from the police raid at the beginning of the film.”

When you become a filmmaker

Vetri Maaran believes that a person stops experiencing his life as it is the moment he becomes a filmmaker. After he or she writes her first draft, everything and everyone becomes just an idea for the script. “Learn, experience, and debate. Watch a film, argue over it and repeat. The moment you start writing a script, you are closing yourself from life’s experiences. The End you put in the first script is also the end to your life’s experiences. From then on everything becomes a source to your script. My wife used to tell me, that ‘I won’t cry, because you will turn it into a scene in your film.’ Even before she points it out, I would have kept it as a scene in the film.”

A study revealed that 71% of companies face high cloud analytics costs, leading to project failures and decreased data queries.

Top 10 best movies of Vetrimaaran

  • April 26, 2023 / 02:30 PM IST

vetrimaran college

Vetrimaaran is an Indian film director, screenwriter and producer, who primarily works in Tamil cinema. As of 2021, he has won five National Film Awards, eight Ananda Vikatan Cinema Awards and two Filmfare South Awards. Now, we bring you the list of top 10 movies of this critically acclaimed Kollywood director.

1) Polladhavan (2007)

Vetrimaaran’s debut feature film opens up with a gruesome and brutal fighting sequence and then using the device of flashback, the filmmaker takes us into the dynamic world of contemporary Chennai, where an educated young man, Prabhu (Dhanush) fight injustice and in the process is forced to unleash the animal within him.The protagonist of the film is an uneducated youth who due to turn of events confronts his father (Murali) and an argument regarding the responsibilities of parents towards their offspring ensues. As a result of this conflict, Prabhu gets a hefty amount from his father and he uses the money to purchase a Bajaj Pulsar bike. This appears to be a wise investment because owning the vehicle enables him to get a job and earn respect in society. But the situation takes a drastic turn when a gang of anti-socials steals his bike. Thereafter the film presents the viewers with the transformation of resilience into power and its hold over the life of an individual’s struggle to maintain his position in the harsh reality of everyday life.The plot of the film has similarities with Wang Xiaoshuai’s Bejing Bicycle (2001). But the well worked out mise-en-scenes of Polladhavan makes it an entertaining tale of a casual urban carefree person’s conversion into a person of genuine worth and true dignity. Polladhavan was remade in Kannada as Punda, in Telugu as Kurradu starring Varun Sandesh, in Sinhala as Pravegeya, in Bengali as Borbaad (2014) and in Hindi as Guns of Banaras (2020). But none of them could achieve the excellence earned by the original version.

2) Visaranai (2016)

Based on the Tamil novel Lock Up by M. Chandrakumar, Vetrimaaran’s third outing in its first half has such brutal scenes of police torture that one could genuinely feel the bestial act of police torture. The viewers are compelled to cringe as well as empathize with the plight of four helpless souls. The narrative of the film can be divided into two sections-before and after the intermission. Four migrant workers are falsely accused in a burglary case that has taken place at a rich and affluent man’s bungalow. The police beat these four characters in black and blue and want them.

3) Aadukalam’ – Cockfight competition

‘Aadukalam’ is a remarkable Tamil film as it bagged National Award under several categories. Dhanush played the role of a Madurai based cockfighter. The actor has impressed many with his diverse role. Dhanush in the film takes up the challenge put on him by the opponents and wins a series of matches in cockfight competition to win huge prize money. Vetrimaaran has well created the sequence, and GV Prakash Kumar’s music added more power to itself. Not able to withstand the pain they agree to accept the charges. Once they are produced in the court the narrative of the film takes a twist and the viewers are presented with one shocking surprise after the other.

4)Vada Chennai

Anbu turning against Senthil Vetrimaaran and Dhanush joined after a gap of several years for the gangster drama ‘Vada Chennai’. The film carries the story of Dhanush from his childhood to a gangster. Anbu (Dhanush) was on the side of Senthil (Kishore) at the start of the film, but at a point, he turned against him since it was a secret mission to kill the opponent. The film received positive reviews, and it had a good theatrical run all over.

5) Asuran’

Sivasaami regaining his power Dhanush’s character in ‘Asuran’ was an elder one, and he played the father of two youngsters. Sivasaami (Dhanush) teaches his sons to be calm in life and to stay away from problems. It was surprising for the fans to see their energetic star in a calm role, but it was the opposite when his flashback revealed. Sivasaami regains his power to save his son from a group of people and destroys them.

6) Vada Chennai

With Vada Chennai, Vetrimaaran returns to the titular North Chennai where he shot his debut film. This time, however, there is more blood, more history, and more politics, and a richer, denser world full of human foibles and fumbles. The detailing is more vivid — like prisoners snorting lizard tails to get high. The violence is more structural — it telescopes its attention on a neighbourhood over time, not a group of friends like in Visaranai.

Like Aadukalam, Vada Chennai starts with bloodshed, which it returns to in the last half-hour. Unlike Aadukalam, this structure feels perfunctory, because the beginning is almost forgotten in the blitzkrieg of rat-a-tat action centred around Anbu (Dhanush), a sincere carrom player, who gets caught in the crossfire of a gang war that he further curdles and erupts. What sets Vada Chennai apart is not just Anbu as an ambivalent hero who is swept into heroism by circumstances, but a hero who is unsure of who is right and who is wrong. He expresses this moral dilemma to his wife in a moving scene. There is a sense that if this film was narrated from another perspective, it might easily flip the moral labels we have slapped on characters. That a film allows its characters this latitude is a triumph of an expanded, exploded imagination — both moral and literary.

vetrimaran college

7) Asuran (2019)

Asuran perfects a lot of Vetrimaaran’s pursuits — the mass film without the mass conventions. There is no hero entry scene. There is, instead, the intermission block. There is no hip dangling love. There is, instead, trauma and affection. Humour does not exist, distilled in the form of a separate character, like a court jester. It is baked into the exchanges. There is no beauty, no polish. There is a harsh abruptness with which scenes transition. And yet, Asuran has packed in it the most potent scenes of grief and redemptive violence. It is Vetrimaaran allowing his films to char your heart, not just your senses. The second half gives the origin for Sivasaami’s docile nature, one that he has arrived at after a youth of bloodshed that left him orphaned and without love. This mirroring of the two halves is another beautiful Vetrimaaran-ism — from the slippers, to the heroism, to the tragedy that culminates in an escape. It is easy to dismiss this film as templated, but there is a reason templates have survived the onslaught of genre, taste, and time shifts. That it is predictable does not take away from what an artist can do with and within that predictability. Asuran is Vetrimaaran’s most emotionally staining — not draining, but staining — film; its violence lingering as hurt, not horror.

vetrimaran college

8) Viduthalai Part 1 (2023)

In one sense, Viduthalai is the culminating artistic collaboration between Vetrimaaran and cinematographer Velraj, who has lensed all of Vetrimaaran’s films except Visaranai. The opening shot of around 10 minutes takes us, in one sweeping, single take, through the debris of a train bombing. The sheer audacity of the scene, the lubricated ease with which the camera slides, both vertically and horizontally, sets the stage for Kumeresan (Soori), a kind-hearted police officer who has been sent to the forested hills as part of a police force that is trying to weed out an extremist group. It invokes awe while depicting horror.

The dense prologue, the unfussy heroism of Vetrimaaran are both here. The politics is just as long winded and stiff — like how Vada Chennai questioned development, here, too, the story hinges on how the state uses development as a cover for profiteering; the police, here, too, are brutal beasts. Love comes as a reprieve — both to the character and the narrative.

But what marks Viduthalai apart is how it makes violence seem so routine, Vetrimaaran isn’t even interested in sharpening it. There is a blunt relentlessness to it. It is not that the director can’t show violence that whips our moral sense of the world. It’s just impossible to fixate and linger on violence the way he did in the previous films. In Visaranai what was happening to a group of friends, in Asuran what was happening to a family, is, in Viduthalai happening to a whole movement of people. Vetrimaaran employs a disenchanted cutting away from these moments before their full impact is even felt, for the impact is not in its festering but in its unrelentingness.

If you notice closely, these rankings are in the order of Vetrimaaran’s filmography, suggesting that, at least artistically, he seems to be streamlining ahead, a swift, sure motion away from where he first began.

"He Will Be Deeply Missed": Vetrimaran Pays Tribute to Vetri Duraisamy

Vetrimaaran

The news of Vetri Duraisamy's tragic passing struck a chord with many on February 4th. While traveling with friends in Himachal Pradesh, an accident in Kinnaur claimed his life, leaving a void in the hearts of those who knew him.

IIFC's condolence meeting for Vetri Duraisamy | Vetrimaaran

A search operation involving various teams, including the SDRF, NDRF, ITBP, and local police, recovered his body on Monday after a post-mortem examination. Divers located him three kilometers from the accident site.

Numerous political leaders and film personalities joined in grieving Vetri's sudden demise. Director Vetrimaran, a close friend and collaborator, organized a condolence meeting at his educational institution, IIFC, to honor his memory.

Sharing their profound connection, Vetrimaran acknowledged, "Vetri often said he learned cinema from me, but in reality, he taught me just as much. One thing we deeply shared was our love for nature and its creatures."

Vetrimaaran

"He was an explorer, driven by a thirst for knowledge and adventure. For the past decade, he was my constant companion. Whether it was sourcing props for my films, musical instruments for our home, or simply finding joy in nature, he was always there, enthusiastic and supportive," Vetrimaran fondly recalled.

"Vetri's belief in supporting others led him to readily embrace the vision of IIFC. Without his unwavering support, the institute wouldn't be what it is today. He also actively contributed to his father's Humanities Foundation, demonstrating his genuine desire to help others," Vetrimaran continued.

He further highlighted Vetri's passion for wildlife photography, stating, "Vetri's curiosity and passion radiated through his award-winning wildlife photography. His recent expeditions to Africa for gorillas and the Arctic for polar bears showcased his dedication to capturing nature's wonders. Tragically, his life was cut short while pursuing his dream of photographing the elusive snow leopard."

"His infectious smile and genuine kindness extended not only to humans but to all living beings. His absence leaves an unfillable void. Life throws these unimaginable challenges at us. He had just completed his first film and was brimming with potential when this tragedy struck," Vetrimaran said with a heavy heart.

Vetrimaaran

"To honor his memory, we plan to initiate awards at IIFC. One award will be dedicated to the first Tamil filmmaker, and another to wildlife photography, both bearing his name. We will share further details soon," he announced.

"Life brings us many people, some fleeting, others leaving an indelible mark. Vetri Duraisamy was the latter. His absence leaves a profound emptiness, but his memory will continue to inspire us," Vetrimaran concluded solemnly.

Welcome, DVM Class of 2028!

Congratulations on your acceptance to the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine's Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program! We look forward to your arrival on campus in August, and we are excited to learn more about you during the orientation program we have planned for you.

Please explore the information available through the "Entering Student Resources" menu to prepare for your arrival in August. You will be receiving lots of communication over the next several months, we are here to help with the transition into the VMCVM DVM program. Reach out to us at [email protected] or 540-231-4090 if we can provide further assistance.

Welcome to our college family!

Sincerely, Your Academic Affairs team

Welcome from the college's Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association president

To the incoming students of the DVM Class of 2028,

Congratulations on your acceptance to the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine (VMCVM)! All those years of hard work, all those prerequisites endured, and all of those hurdles you had to overcome have brought you to this incredible milestone. As you prepare to take the next big step on your way to becoming a fully-fledged veterinarian, know that everyone here in our VMCVM community is beyond excited to welcome you and to do whatever we can to support you in this new endeavor.

I am sure you are all feeling a range of emotions right now. I sure was. Even though it has somehow been two years already, I can still vividly remember the moment I saw that acceptance letter arrive in my inbox. That wave of excitement, glee, and pride I felt for what I had accomplished, followed by anxiety over what lay ahead. If you are in the same boat, know that this is absolutely normal. It is no secret that veterinary school is a challenging experience. The thought of taking this next step may feel daunting, but the information you will receive between now and orientation will help prepare you to start your time here at VMCVM. Above all else, never forget that you have earned your place here and deserve everything that is in store for you. For these next few months, I would encourage you all to take some time to recognize that, reward yourself for what you have achieved, and spend time with those who have been supportive and helped you get to this point.

Beyond a world class curriculum, our (your!) college has a wide range of opportunities for you to take advantage of, and one of the best ways for you to do this is by exploring the various organizations and clubs that we have on campus. These organizations offer a wide variety of activities for any path you might want to take in the veterinary field, focused on both small and large animal medicine, public health and exotic species, and many veterinary specialties. These clubs regularly bring in faculty and outside speakers to run case rounds, coordinate wet labs, and give supplemental lectures. Aside from these professionally focused clubs, we have many organizations focused on non-veterinary topics, such as Pride VMCVM, Student Chapter of the National Association for Black Veterinarians, Christian Veterinary Fellowship, and many, many more. Our list of clubs and organizations is ever growing. At VMCVM, these organizations all fall under SAVMA, the Student chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Much like student government, our SAVMA chapter serves as an “Umbrella” to student organizations.

While our SAVMA chapter's main purpose is to support the student body, it also functions as an individual club. We host financial wellness and debt panels, community-wide events, biweekly yoga and exercise classes, talks with veterinary students from across the world, a free coffee tab during finals, and a myriad of other social events to provide entertaining breaks from studying. Nationally, our SAVMA leadership represents VMCVM within the veterinary profession, attending three national conventions each year and advocating for our fellow students to improve the profession that we will all soon be entering. We collaborate with and learn from students from other colleges, allowing us to provide you all with the best possible experience during your time at VMCVM.

As your SAVMA president, I encourage you to be more than “just” a student this fall. Step out of your comfort zone and seek out the plethora of opportunities at your disposal. Join a club that piques your interest. Apply for that research assistant role you see posted. Sign up for flag football. Do what you can to enhance your education outside of the classroom and build lasting relationships with the peers and mentors that surround you.  I promise that you will not regret it. I hope that you all feel welcomed into your new community, and please never hesitate to reach out to me for any help or advice about this program. My job is to be a resource and advocate for all DVM students as they navigate through the ups and downs of this challenging experience, and now that includes you.

I look forward to meeting each and every one of you when you arrive on campus. Until then, hold onto the excitement you first felt upon reading that well-deserved acceptance letter. Focus on spending time with your loved ones. Enjoy doing your favorite activities and hobbies before your free time is monopolized by lecture captures and studying. Veterinary school will be a challenge. There will be times that you feel invincible and on top of the world, and there will be times where you feel quite the opposite. We all go through it, and imposter syndrome is unfortunately one of the friends you will make during this program if you are not already well acquainted. When those lows hit, please just remind yourself how amazing and truly capable you are! Find a good support system to lean on when times like those hit, and please always feel welcome to reach out to me if I can be that for you. You have all been accepted into this program over thousands of others because you deserve it and are meant to be here. Do not let a bad day tell you otherwise.

Welcome to the VMCVM Class of 2028! We are all so excited to meet you!

New offshore veterinary college develops a one-of-a-kind partnership with Virginia Tech

Antigua, West Indies - In a first-of-its-kind agreement with a stateside veterinary college, a new offshore veterinary school offers students the chance to transfer directly into and graduated from an accredited U.S. program.

Antigua, West Indies — In a first- of-its-kind agreement with a stateside veterinary college, a new offshore veterinary school offers students the chance to transfer directly into and graduate from an accredited U.S. program.

American University of Antigua, home of a 5-year-old human medicine college, announced the opening of the new school in August, as well as its partnership with the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine to provide clinical training to its students, adding to a short but growing list of off-shore feeder schools to U.S. veterinary colleges.

"The big advantage I saw was, if we are going to have transfer students, we should do it with someone where we could influence the curriculum right from the beginning," says Virginia Tech Dean Dr. Gerhardt G. Schurig.

Having paradise-bound students complete clinical training at stateside colleges is nothing new — as evidenced by students sent to various U.S. veterinary colleges for clinical training from beachfront institutions like Ross University on St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Matthews on Grand Cayman. But this is the first arrangement where an exclusive partnership will allow students to transfer directly to Virginia Tech, from which they will earn their DVMs.

Dr. David Granstrom, director of the American Veterinary Medical Association's (AVMA) Education and Research Division, says he is unaware of the specifics of the arrangement, having only received a press release about the new school opening and no further information. The same goes for Dr. Laurie Jaeger, DVM, PhD, head of basic medical sciences at Purdue University's School of Veterinary Medicine and chair of the AVMA Council on Education — the body charged with overseeing AVMA accreditation of veterinary-education institutions. Neither could speculate about how the new school, or its partnership with Virginia Tech, would operate or, maybe more importantly, how the partnership between Virginia Tech and American University could affect Virginia Tech's accreditation status.

"There's just too much unknown right now," Jaeger says. "All offshore schools are not the same. Certainly, we watch things. The council certainly is being aware and watching things and trying to be sensitive to the stakeholders. Until it becomes an accreditation issue, we just don't deal with it."

Yet Annette Nigreli, director of admissions for American University says Dr. Peter Bell, the school's vice president of academic affairs and executive dean of the Antigua campus, already has responded to a questionnaire sent to them by AVMA. She would not describe its contents, referring questions to Bell, who could not be reached for an interview. Nigreli also could not say whether American University would seek accreditation from AVMA.

Granstrom and Jaeger both said they were unaware of a questionnaire, but Granstrom says American University would not need to seek accreditation, since students technically would be graduates of Virginia Tech.

The key is that Virginia Tech would have to make sure students transferring in from American University were qualified, could handle the work and that their presence would not adversely affect the education of other students at the veterinary college, he says.

"Virginia Tech would have to address how they will meet all the standards with the influx of students," Jaeger adds, adding she would probably learn more about the new program at an upcoming Council on Education meeting.

Schurig says he anticipates about five students transferring from American University to Virginia Tech by 2012, once they have completed their basic training and passed the National Board of Medical Examiners' qualifying exam. By then, he says, Virginia Tech will have enhanced its facilities and added more clinical training space.

The curriculum at American University is being modeled directly after Virginia Tech's, Schurig explains. Transfer students will complete an additional semester once they come to Virginia Tech, meaning they will graduate with more training than resident students at the college, says Schurig. This is to ensure there are no "holes" in their education, he adds. In return, students will graduate with their veterinary degree from Virginia Tech, not American University.

"[This partnership] has many purposes," Schurig says. "We all know we have a [veterinarian] shortage that will be worse in the future. By admitting a few more students, we will be able to start graduating a larger class, in theory, within a couple of years.

"This will benefit all students because what's happening is we always have some students, starting from the third year on, who get out of the program for various reasons. So you start in the third year having a class with less people in it and you can't fill those spaces unless you have a transfer program," Schurig explains.

The partnership could serve as a model for the future, he adds, saying he believes the influx of third- and fourth-year veterinary students will make up for lost tuition caused by students leaving the program, and help keep tuition levels down by spreading costs over a larger pool of students. And space should not be an issue, since the transfer students likely will take the place of students who have left the program instead of adding to the total class size, he says.

American University will admit its first class of about 30 students in January, and the veterinary college will be led by Dr. Olusegun Dipeolu, DSc, PhD, DVM. Dipeolu is the director and founder of the Center for Tropical Diseases and International Travel Medicine at American University and previously served as the vice chancellor/principal and chief executive officer of the University of the North in South Africa. He also was the recipient of a Fulbright Award and is a fellow of the African Academy of Sciences.
