In this episode, I have spoken about the same story being repeated again and again over years across various films. Mersal and Apoorva Sagotharargal are taken as case studies. With them, I have also brought in other films with a similar story line including Moondru Mugam, Thirisoolam, Neerum Neruppum and Uthamaputhiran. From there the episode discusses Syd Field's Three-Act Paradigm in writing screenplays. Special thanks to filmmaker Kulandai Velappan and Team Thiraikkathaippoma Podcast Club
