The Relentless Victimization of Marilyn Monroe in "Blonde"
'Blonde' commits a relentless assault on the autonomy of Marilyn Monroe, reducing the icon to nothing more than a victim of the director's whims.

Directed by and starring independent filmmaker and digital creator M.G. Raajavel, Bayam is a Tamil horror-thriller that marks the director's ambitious step into full-length feature filmmaking. Departing from his signature guerrilla-style action and viral comedy sketches, Raajavel weaves a chilling tale that blends intense supernatural thrills with localized, village-centric humor. Under his MGR Production banner, the film features a supporting cast including Dinesh Kumar, Ilavarasi, and Ganesan, set to a haunting score by Niranjan Saravanan.
