Madhu grew up in a land of priests and religious fanaticism. Not surprisingly, his thought process was quite inclined towards his Father’s during his younger days. But as days went by and he grew older, time and education taught him a wider aspect of his faltering childhood. Close to his mother but in awe ofContinue reading “A Seer’s Rage – Episode 2”

சர்வம் தாளமயம் – Refreshingly Rythmic
I have not watched a musical for a long time now. They don’t make classic musicals any more. But ‘சர்வம் தாளமயம்’ bought back poignant moments in a musical journey which stands out as simple, light hearted and make-you-feel-good drama with an outstanding soundtrack, which in many ways describes A R Rahman – The Master Composer.Continue reading “சர்வம் தாளமயம் – Refreshingly Rythmic”
பேட்ட – Dragging Vendetta
Another boring crusade in to a world of torrid monotony and mindless terrain. Superstar, the Actor in you escaped years back but watching you in such run-of-the-mill scripts makes it even more painful. I will wait for the classic that is due for eternity now.
Sui Dhagaa – Stitching Fortunes
Light, tender and emotional. From a motivation per se, this might do a thing or two to your dwindling prospects. But this thread is not strong enough to infiltrate the heinous needles of this industry. Watch it if this is your get-away weekend to find solace.
A Seer’s Rage – Episode 1
A land of spiritual resurgence. We need messiahs, someone who can turn this world upside down, in the right way. Not a torch bearer, but we need tools for sustenance. Madhuprayan George Roy was born in Banaras, India to a Hindu Father and Catholic Mother. His father belonged to an ancestral Priest family and oneContinue reading “A Seer’s Rage – Episode 1”
Bird Box – Eyes Underrated
‘Bird Box’ stormed Netflix when it hit the streaming giant a month ago. I am still wondering why. An alien power that powers suicidal and psychotic behaviour to literally end a civilization that’s busy being normal people who are going to work, have families and where women get pregnant. But, what’s the point? I amContinue reading “Bird Box – Eyes Underrated”
Again, But No Love..
If ‘Narcos’ had not happened to me, I would have rendered kind words for ‘Loving Pablo’. ‘Narcos’ was such a stunning and provocative account of the (de)famed Drug Lord that everything else pales in comparison. And, so does this film. Sorry, Javier and Penelope. I love you guys, but you picked up a stalemate thisContinue reading “Again, But No Love..”
Polar – Singular
Alone, defiant and invincible. Not for money but for principles. Can you? Don’t think, just watch.
The Unsung Martyr
He was not just a revolutionary, he was a visionary and an exemplary leader who was an epitome of courage and resilience. His contribution to history was much beyond our road to Independence and the adversity of being caught in a web of political dominance that saw his ultimate oblivion in a disgraceful fashion. HeContinue reading “The Unsung Martyr”
Close
How close can you get to defy odds for someone you never knew? Freakish, but such uninhibited intimacy is seldom found in mortals. ‘Close’ enough!
Guilt Beyond Justice?
The greatest sinner on this planet earth survived justice. But considering them bleakly human, were they guilty? A story of irreversible pain and pay back, a singular and historic man hunt to capture the most dangerous Nazi officer (after the man himself) and bring him to justice for what is best described as ‘monstrously beyondContinue reading “Guilt Beyond Justice?”
Gun City
Aptly worded. People, circumstances and guns. 1920s. Barcelona. Political unrest, fight for freedom and liberation. The bloodshed between anarchists and cops. Both wanted peace, but never knew how to get it. Ideals and loyalty existed but we wanted more. Greed and power struggle replaced the former. Result? Another massacre of law and innocent people.
