Synopsis: This essay engages with Tamil’s iconic writer Ramaswamy Krishnamurthy alias Kalki’s reviews of Tamil films, particularly in the popular Tamil weekly Ananda Vikatan, to argue for his preeminence as an early film critic. Generally, Kalki’s informed criticism of cinema and his profound cinephilia is not acknowledged. The main reason being, his stature as a popular writer of historical novels like Ponniyin Selvan and Sivagamiyin Sabatham has subsumed his prowess as a film critic.
