Thundu - Movie Review


 I watched the whole movie despite the feeling of seeing repeated scenes of the same sort just because I could not find a meaningful connection or make sense of the behaviour of anyone until the end. In all honesty this feels like a movie taken with personal vengeance against police personnel. The number of times things play out to make almost everyone who supports Mr Baby look stupid seems beyond reasonable probability. The number of times things go out pf the way to end in favour of him are again just too much to be true or like I said deliberately pushed into the story to make a particular point. The film has no story no morals no agenda nothing the say or show. A series of short scenes each making one person who is deliberately dishonest and disgraceful and may I add disgusting win through the dirtiest of methods doesn’t make a whole film. The humorous parts are unfortunately not humorous but humiliating someone who doesn’t actually deserve it most of the times and so its very difficult to connect with the story at any given point unlike usual Malayalam movies which are realistic. 

One might say this is the norm, this is real life in real format but this just shows a toxic, hostile work environment where a group of vile, unworthy, cheating, egoistic, obnoxious people team up with one such person and help him out of his difficult situations. Amazing actors. Wonderful acting. Good screenplay. Bad storyline. If you want a just watch for namesake movie you can watch it once but wont be a loss if you missed it.

Kilvalai Rock Paintings

The rattaparai - kilvalai rock painting site is located very close to the city of Villupuram in Tamil Nadu.  The locals call this place rattapparai - which means twin rocks in Tamil, this could also mean blood rock which might be the name given due to the colour of the paintings. The exact location is in the taluk of Kandachipuram where agriculture is the major occupation of people till date. This might explain the crops surrounding the site and the need to walk in a very narrow path up till you climb on the exact rocks that have the paintings. The ASI has put up a fence around but its right on the rocks so I think this still is a private property. It's quite visible from the main road so once you park the vehicle and cross the short narrow path you will be climbing on the rocks.  The paintings are on top of the rocks so you will have to climb all the way up.  The way up is not steep so you can safely walk up.However you might need some good shoes with anti -slip properti...

Moon Day🤍

  If I were to name this year I’d call this my year of inconsistency. I have never been quite weary of my deadlines ever in my life. This year I am just not finishing my projects if the deadline is something that I came up with and finishing them right on time if it is something that concerns others. I usually use the moon to calculate my progress. That is the main reason why most of my new book releases are around full moon days. This year during the buck moon I was in the Taj Mahal releasing the cover and first chapter of my next book. This day was also the Buddha purnima day. Since I was sitting in the mosquitoes and was quite busy with the cover designing and the next day was also a big day I did not write much that night. Originally because my mobile was dying and I did not want to be without the aid of a mobile phone till I reached my hotel room after the taj view at night.  There are two reasons why I love the moon. One is because it os always a part of the sky when I a...
