SPB: The sheer effortlessness of a genius that will overwhelm us for eternity

Deaths are of different kinds. When they are untimely and avoidable, it is difficult to accept it. Disbelief and anger come to the fore.

The torrential thundershower in Chennai  yesterday was befitting homage to the genius.. All the tears of a nation rolled into one.

I hope we never forget the damage the Chinese have inflicted on us and the world.  In SPB, they inflicted the most telling blow. I hope we really teach them a lesson. Just not in term of denial of buying their goods.  There must  be a concerted effort to beat them in every sphere of activity. 

I guess all of us remember the great songs he has sung and a smaller subsection probably remember some really great acting performances. 

Why does SPB standout?

1.  The sheer effortlessness of whatever he does 

2.  Complete involvement

3. The nonchalance with which he executes the performance

4. The joy that overflows in the act of delivering the performance.

To me these outweigh his prolific body of work and precocious genius.

We will never miss you, Sir.

We just envy the almighty who will be now regaled with your songs.

Aapla Manus, Marathi Film

Essential conversations on Old  Age

Before you get drowned by IPL, you may just want to catch up with Aapla Manus.

This thriller is an excuse to drive home essential conversations on old age, Relevant to all households in the country and probably the world.

Nana Patekar, even when vulnerable cannot get rid of the smirk and swag. Brilliant.

Must watch for everyone!!!

@C U Soon, Malayalam film

An unoriginal, disappointing and unsatisfying thriller

C U Soon follows the format of Searching. I just thought I would share the trailer of Searching so that it is a 'no brainer'.

When the movie is unoriginal, I do not understand why the makers should be so proud.

Not sure if Fahad Fasil is considering a political career. The reference to mouths being fed during COVID times I thought was not necessary. Unless you are standing for an election such  overt promotions are  unecessary.

Not sure if this can be classified as  a thriller. The movie morphed away from a thriller and went into a tail spin for the last 20 minutes.

I definitely felt disappointed and angry.

We have had enough of messages.

P.S: By the way  you can still sit through the movie, thanks to some superlative acting by Fahad Fasil. I was disappointed again in one sequence, when he had tears rolling down and I thought there was no need for him to close his eyes with his fingers.
