Boney Kapoor Moves Court Over Sridevi’s Land Dispute

0

Famous film producer Boney Kapoor has gone to the Madras High Court, claiming that three people are wrongly asserting ownership of a property his late wife, veteran actress Sridevi, bought on East Coast Road in Chennai back in 1988.

Justice N. Anand Venkatesh instructed the Tambaram Taluk Tahsildar on Monday (August 25, 2025) to decide within four weeks about a film producer’s plea to revoke a ‘fraudulent’ legal heirship certificate given to three individuals.

Produce Boney Kapoor’s appeal to the Madras High Court

In his appeal, Kapoor requested that the Chengalpattu District Collector and the Tambaram Tahsildar take action on what he submitted back in April. He claimed that Sridevi bought the land in 1998 from M.C. Sambanda Mudaliar in Mylapore, and her family has been fully using it as a farmhouse ever since.

Mudaliar, the original title holder, had three sons and two daughters who split their inheritance in 1960. Sridevi purchased and registered the property according to this deed.

Boney Kapoor Accuses Mudaliar’s Family Of Fake Heirship Certificate

Recently, three individuals—claiming to be the second wife and two kids of one of Mudaliar’s sons—came forward with a 2005 heirship certificate to assert their claim. Kapoor challenged whether the Tambaram Tahsildar had the right to issue that certificate, pointing out that Mudaliar’s family actually lived in Mylapore, not Tambaram.

Kapoor pushed back against the alleged second wife’s claim of marrying in 1975, saying that the marriage couldn’t be legit since the person’s first wife was alive until 1999. Kapoor pointed out that the trio doesn’t meet the criteria for Class I or Class II heirs under the Hindu Succession Act. He also accused them of harassing him by throwing multiple civil suits and petitions at revenue authorities to back up a false property claim.

As Boney Kapoor approaches the Madras High Court regarding late Sridevi’s Land issue, the news is all over the media, and everyone awaits the verdict or the future proceedings of this case.

Maareesan Movie Review: Vadivelu and Fahadh Faasil Shine In This Engaging Thriller/Drama

0

Movie: Maareesan
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Vadivelu, Fahadh Faasil, Kovai Sarala, Vivek Prasanna, and others
Director: Sudheesh Shankar
Streaming On: Netflix

Sudheesh Shankar directs Maareesan, featuring veteran Tamil comedian Vadivelu and renowned Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil, produced by R.B. Choudary of Super Good Films.

The film hit theaters on July 25, 2025, and started streaming on Netflix on August 22, 2025.  Let’s find out how this road thriller/drama has been shaped up in our review.

Story:

Dhaya (Dhayalan), played by Fahadh Faasil, is a small-time thief addicted to stealing precious items. He steals a motorbike after coming out of jail, and breaks into a house, discovering Vela/Velayudham Pillai (Vadivelu) chained inside.

Vela tells Dhaya he has Alzheimer’s, and his son locked him up to stop him from wandering. He offers Dhaya ₹25,000 for assistance in escaping. As Vela takes money from the ATM, Dhaya observes ₹25 lakhs in his account. Tempted, he stays behind Vela to grab all the cash. Next up, the narrative tracks their journey and reveals what kind of time Dhaya has with Vela.

Performances:

Vadivelu fits the character of Vela perfectly, capturing that chill yet intense vibe, and his acting in the emotional moments is simply fantastic. Fahadh Faasil shines as Dhaya, keeping it simple but making a strong impression. Kovai Sarala, Sithara, Vivek Prasanna, and the rest fit perfectly.

Analysis:

In Maareesan, Sudheesh Shankar creates a gripping atmosphere and builds suspense steadily. The story begins on an intriguing note with two lead characters setting on an unusual journey. One can guess the dramatic beats of it but still the film holds the interest with slowly opening other characters and opens a crime link.

The second half, after some interesting proceedings struggles to maintain the grip once the backstory behind the crime is revealed, but it again impresses with the emotional scenes towards the climax.

Positives:

  • Vaidvelu – Fahadh Faasil’s Performance
  • First Half
  • Emotional Scenes/Dialogues
  • Climax

Negatives:

  • Slow Pace
  • A Few Predictable/Stretched Moments in the second half

Maareesan Movie Review and Verdict:

Mareesan is a slow burn  thriller/drama that works for most of parts with the natural performances from Vadivelu and Fahadh Faasil. While the second half has some flaws, the way it makes the emotions work is what makes an appealing journey.
