At Stream Tracker, we like to dig up films that play with the thin line between cinema and crime. Jigarthanda — the well-known film matching this synopsis is actually the 2014 Tamil film by Karthik Subbaraj — follows a budding director who goes undercover to research a merciless gangster for a film on gangsterism, only to have his secret snooping blow up in his face. Packed with smoky underworld alleys, tense cat-and-mouse sequences and meta moments about camera and script, the movie earned strong notices on release — notably Bobby Simha’s National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor.
