Celebrating 24 years of "#HeraPheri" (31/03/2000), a landmark in Indian cinema, directed by Priyadarshan. This 2000 comedy thriller stars #AkshayKumar, Paresh Rawal, Sunil Shetty, and Tabu, alongside Gulshan Grover and Om Puri, weaving a narrative filled with humor and unexpected twists. The film, a remake of the 1989 Malayalam film "Ramji Rao Speaking" by Siddique-Lal, stands out for its unique storyline and memorable performances.

The screenplay was adeptly penned by Neeraj Vora, drawing its essence from the original Malayalam hit.

The film's visual storytelling was enhanced by Jeeva's cinematography, while N. Gopalakrishnan's editing ensured a seamless narrative flow.

The songs in "Hera Pheri" were mainly made by Anu Malik, and the special song "Tun Tunak Tun" was created by Lalit Sen and Bally Sagoo. The background music was made by Surinder Sodhi, and Sameer wrote the words for the songs.

"Why is it that we do not respond to things around us naturally? The question bothered me for a very long time. When I arrived at the answer, it seemed to be simple: if we started responding to issues around us it would cause inconveniences both minor and major. So, in an evasive gesture we make ourselves believe that there is no pressing issue. This amounts, essentially, to a negation of our being as expressed in acting and reacting; through a process of seeing, hearing, feeling, sharing, and responding." -Adoor Gopalakrishnan

From the Field #3: "Dire Wolves" and Colossal Bioscience's Whole Thing (that's not actually dire wolves)

hi. today we’re talking about colossal biosciences and their announcement that they’re bringing back the dire wolf. this is me letting you know they are absolutely not. not really. not in any way that matters to conservation, science, or actual wolves.

they’re not reviving Aenocyon dirus. they’re making a Frankenstein predator out of modern canid DNA and slapping the name dire wolf on it because that gets headlines. that’s not resurrection. that’s branding.

let’s be very clear. the real dire wolf is extinct. gone for over 10,000 years. it wasn’t even a “true wolf.” it was a separate genus from gray wolves that split off over 5 million years ago. no dog or wolf shares enough DNA to revive it. it didn’t interbreed with wolves. it didn’t evolve with them. it was its own weird jacked cousin that couldn’t keep up with climate change or prey collapse.

colossal is taking fragments of ancient DNA, mixing them with modern wolf and possibly dog genes, and saying they’ll recreate a “proxy species” that will fill the same ecological niche. they’re not even pretending this is a full de-extinction. they’re making a vibe match and hoping people are too dazzled to ask questions.

this wouldn’t piss me off as much if they weren’t pretending it’s a conservation win. it’s not. the idea that we can engineer our way out of extinction is a massive distraction from the fact that we are still actively destroying the ecosystems we have. we don’t need designer wolves. we need to stop wiping out the species that already exist. we need to protect gray wolves and red wolves and Ethiopian wolves and the 1,000 other species losing habitat every day. and colossal is out here playing Jurassic Park with corporate funding while we can’t even get enough legislation passed to keep wolves from being shot out of helicopters in Montana.

but olivia you’re a plant person. what do you know about conservation. ok first of all thank you for that attack. second of all I wanted to be a zookeeper for years and only switched to range when I realized I’d have to fight ten other interns for the right to scoop tiger poop for $14 an hour. I still love predators. I still care about balance and biodiversity. I just spend more time with grass now.

anyway. colossal is not bringing back dire wolves. they’re making a genetically weird dog with a prehistoric aesthetic. and pretending that’s a win for nature is not just misleading. it’s dangerous. extinction is real. it’s permanent. and this kind of science-flavored fantasy makes people think we don’t have to worry about it anymore. like we’ll just 3D print a new animal later. like there’s a backup plan. there isn’t.

that’s it. the dire wolf is still extinct. what we’re getting is a glorified science project with teeth. stop calling it conservation. and stop pretending extinction is reversible just because you want to make headlines.

love u bye.
