Director Parthiban, “Iravin Nizhal” of whom got released recently, is currently busy promoting the film by visiting theatres and being active in social media platforms. On Friday, the actor cum filmmaker replied to the criticism made by famous movie reviewer “Blue satta” Maaran. Parthiban said that Maaran could have made the remark directly to himself instead of posting it publicly and also added that he still respects him.

“Iravin Nizhal” was released on 15th of July and the makers promoted the film saying that it’s World’s First Non-Linear film that was shot on single shot. Denying the same, Maaran, in his review, said that an Iranian film named “Fish and Cat” which was released in the year 2013 was the first non-linear single shot film.

Maaran also criticized the film saying that it was shot unnecessarily in single take and the film has nothing to offer anything to the audience. Here’s his review video :

Maaran also added a tweet in his twitter timeline, denoting about the same. “Parthiban claims that Iravin Nizhal is WORLD’S FIRST non linear singe shot film. But that is not true. It was Iranian film Fish & Cat 2013. World’s reputed film magazine agrees the same: Fish & Cat experiments with nonlinear narrative” said Maaran through his tweet.

Here’s his tweet :

விமர்சனங்கள் யாவும்
விமோசனங்கள் என நான் நன்றியுடன் நெகிழ,
சனங்களோ உலக level-ல் ஒன்றென உருக,
நண்பர் blue sattai மாறன் அவர்களின்
மாறுபட்ட விமர்சனத்தையும் பார்த்து விட்டு
படம் பார்க்க வேண்டுமாய் கேட்டுக் கொள்கிறேன்.
அதுசரி!
எதுசரி என விளங்க!

“The film he mentioned didn’t come under non-linear category in Google. Even Today. I am not an intellectual genius like him. I have showed the film to the film critic experts such as Mr. Saibal Chatterji and confirmed myself” the filmmaker said in his second tweet.

“I have been advertising the film as “World’s First Non-linear film” for the past one year and he could have said about the fact to me even when I called him 15 days ago to invite him for the premiere of my film. He could have reformed me and stopped me from cheating people” Parthiban further said.

In the end, the filmmaker revealed that he didn’t go to the premiere of Blue Satta’s debut directorial “Anti Indian” even after he was invited and concluded his tweets saying that he still respects him as he became a filmmaker.

Continue-என்னைத் திருத்தி, மக்களை நான் ஏமாற்றுவதைத் தடுத்து ஆபத்பாந்தவனாகி இருக்கலாம். அவர் படம்(அழைத்தும் நான்) போகவில்லை என்பதென் வருத்தமே! விமர்சகர் என்பதை மீறி இயக்குனர் என்பதால் அவர் மீது இன்றும் மரியாதயே!
