Today's Sher

Kuch bhi karo par paise ghar mein laao baap yeh kahta hai

Maa ke aashirwaad se kuch bann gaya ab paise ghar aata hai

Bhagwaan ke ghar mein dher hai andher nahin yeh sunaa hoga

yeh dher aur andher ki chaabi tum mein hai yeh samajhnaa hoga

I felt sad

I felt sad when 'Ponniyin Selvan-1' failed to get an award at the Asian Film Awards 2023. My anger was compounded because while 'RRR' won laurels, my favorite of the two failed to get an award. I thought music or costume will get an award. But it did not.

Do not get disheartened 'Ponniyin Selvan' fans.  I have seen 'Ponniyin Selvan-1' four times. I managed to see 'RRR' once and by forwarding I completed 'Kantara'. I am talking of south Indian movies. These are due to the times we are in. It is difficult to see movies when one is not expected to like.

I think Mani Ratnam has planned superbly. Because when I saw for the fourth time, I realized that Karuthiruman (a crucial character) is already shown in Ponniyin Selvan-1. The planning, script are brilliant and imaginative. How fantastically they have managed two parts at a single go. And that too during Corona peak. 

I am confident of A R Rahman and the songs of 'Ponniyin Selvan-2' will be great. I am sure of it. This is what I am expecting the most from 'Ponniyin Selvan -2'.

Good wishes, dear readers.
