#PATAL LOK 2020

[smylealong]

Year in review - 2020

2020 has been a mixed bag of an year. Where on one hand it has been a raging dumpster fire with a global pandemic, lockdowns, social distancing, online schools, politics, forest fires, Karens and the general sense of ennui that the year brought. On the other hand, the year gave us all time. Time to reflect on ourselves. Time to teach ourselves new things. Time to binge watch. And boy did the streaming platforms make full use of it. Listed below are the best things I saw in 2020. (Across languages and in no specific order.) IT IS A LONG POST. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

HINDI Thappad: Dir: Anubhav Sinha. Starring: Tapasee Pannu, Pavail Gulati, Diya Mirza, Kumud Mishra and Ratna Pathak Shah. On surface level, the premise seems frivolous. After all, it was just a slap. Just. One. Slap. Yet, with that one slap, the protagonist’s neatly organized world comes apart at the seams. From there begins Amruta’s (Tapsee Pannu) journey into exploring the micro-aggressions and tiny slights that she has turned a blind eye to, for the sake of keeping peace. The film never veers into a glorification of violence nor does it get overly preachy. It is a mirror to the patriarchal society and raises pertinent questions about the things that the society as normalized. Things that shouldn’t be normalized.

Bulbbul: Dir: Anvita Dutt. Starring: Tripti Dimri, Avinash Tiwari, Rahul Bose, Parambrata Chatterjee and Paoli Dam.

Horror does not always lie in the things that go bump at night. Sometimes, horror is what society expects of you. Horror is the consequence of not fitting into the role that has been written for you. Sometimes, it is terrifying to be a woman in a male-dominated society. That is what Bulbbul explores. Wrapped in a beautiful package, Bulbbul tells the raw story of a child-bride who is punished, harshly, inhumanly, for acting her age. If you haven’t seen it yet, drop everything and watch it. It’s on Netflix.

Lootcase: Dir: Rajesh Krishnan. Starring: Kunal Khemu, Rasika Duggal, Vijay Raaz, Gajraj Rao.

This was a charming little movie that had me in splits. A story of a simple man who chances upon a bag full of money. What follows is a hilarious tale of lies, deception and comedy of errors. Kunal Khemu proves that Bollywood does not realize just how talented he is. Vijay Raaz’s deadpan comedy and Gajraj Rao’s evil smiling desperation are a delight to behold. I’m smiling even as I am writing this. This was fun!

Raat Akeli Hai: Dir: Honey Tehran. Starring: Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Radhika Apte, Ila Arun, Shweta Tripathi, Tigmanshu Dhulia.

This was India’s answer to Knives Out. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is at his finest as the honest and frustrated (in more ways than one) police officer who finds himself attracted to the mistress of the murdered man. What follows is a tale so full of twists and turns that I could not predict where it is going. When you have Siddiqui at the helm, you are almost certain to get a good film. But when he is backed by stellar performance from the able cast, that takes the film to another level altogether.

Patal Lok: Dir: Avinash Arun and Prosit Roy. Starring: Jaideep Alhawat, Niraj Kabi, Abhishek Bannerjee, Swastika Mukherjee, Gul Panang, Ishvaak Singh.

Wow. Just. Wow. This is arguably the BEST thing that I have seen all year. On the surface this is an attempted murder case. But what it actually is, is a mirror to our society. It is a human story. A story of greed, corruption, power, violence, misogyny, depravity and true evil. It is a story of love, hope, support, kindness and humanity. It is a story of us. My hats off to the entire cast and crew for coming up with something truly special.

ENGLISH

Haunting of Bly Manor: Created by: Mike Flannagan. Starring: Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Amelia Eve, T’Nia Miller, Rahul Kohli.

Based on Henry Jame’s Turn of the Screw, this was a poignant tale of love, loss and pain. While it pales in comparison to its brilliant predecessor, Haunting of the Hill House, and the 1961 screen adaptation of the novel, The Innocents, Bly Manor still manages to be a worthy watch. In Mike Flannagan’s deft hands, we get to see a completely different perspective of the Haunting. I won’t say more, for spoilers, but this was definitely one of the better things I watched this year. Especially since I almost eschewed English movies/series this year. (I did watch some forgettable movies like Extraction and Mulan, but even mentioning them here feels sacrilegious.)

Korean

This year, I returned to Korean Dramas after a long time. My last Korean Drama before this year was Faith that I saw in 2014. Since Boys Over Flowers (Read Kim Bum) is my guilty pleasure watch, I decided to have it on in the background sometime in March or April this year. (Honestly, in 2020, who knows?). BOF took me to The King: Eternal Monarch. And TKEM introduced me to Woo Do Hwan who gave me some of the best times in this year. Three of his dramas feature here.

Save Me:- Dir: Kim Sung-soo. Starring: Ok Taec-yeon, Seo Yea-ji, Woo Do Hwan, Jo Sung-ha, Jo Jae-yoon.

Do you fancy a kick to your teeth? Because that is what this series is. What starts a simple story of a regular family’s struggles upon moving to a new town, quickly turns into a harrowing nightmare in which you are simply the viewer. The story delves into cults and the insidious power they hold. Through Seo Yea-ji’s brilliant performance as Im Sang-mi, we see a K drama heroine who is not a damsel in distress. She isn’t the one throwing the punches, that is done by Ok Taec-yeon and Woo Do Hwan. Still she is the one that leads the fight. If that wasn’t enough, Woo Do Hwan, plays Seok Dong-chul. Arguably one of the best male leads I have seen.

Mad Dog:- Dir: Hwang Ui-kyung Starring: Yoo Ji-tae, Woo Do Hwan, Jo Jae-joon, Ryu Hwa-young, Kim Hye-sung.

What a treat this show is! Smart protagonists pitted against equally intelligent antagonists and a taut plot that rarely sags (It does sag just a wee bit in the middle but it picks up pace very quickly). Woo Do Hwan is fantastic as the ever changing, tough to pin down, Kim Min Joon. The layers in this character! This show will keep you guessing. Every cast member is stellar and no one has a single misstep. A must watch!

My Country: Dir: Kim Jin-won Starring:  Yang Se Jong, Woo Do Hwan, Kim Seol-hyun, Jang Hyuk.

This series brings a set of very complex emotions in me. Don’t get me wrong. I love the series. Its story, characterization, costumes, cinematography, acting, action scenes, OST. They are top notch. A+. But... and this is a big one, this series is also a glaring display of what happens when a writer falls in love with one of their characters. As a writer, I can say that we love all our characters. But it is very dangerous for a writer to move from simply loving the character to falling in love with the character. When that happens, the writer becomes afraid of letting that particular character make mistakes. Or glosses over their flaws. Often at the expense of the other character. Which is what happened here. The writer fell in love with Seo Hwi and Nam Seon ho paid the price. Hwi could literally assassinate people in front of Hui Jae and still be forgiven for it, while Nam Seon-ho gets demonized for trying to save Hwi by telling lies. I could go on and on about how unfair this series was to Seon-ho, but that would be a separate post altogether.

Tale of a Gumiho: Dir: Kang Shin-hyo Starring: Lee Dong Wook, Jo Bo-ah, Kim Bum.

I started this series for Kim Bum (I LOVE THE GUY). I was prepared for some cheesy, goofy fun with some good looking people. But soon, I was watching it for the story. A smart Urban Fantasy with elements of Korean Mythology, this was UF done right! This series made me do research. I am so tired of seeing the same old myths in fantasy that this came as a breath of fresh air. Intelligent protagonists who communicate well (gasp! what? That happens?). A flip-flopping anti-hero. A truly psychopathic villain and a bunch of other well-fleshed characters make for one entertaining watch. I highly recommend it.

Chinese:

K-dramas made me revive the Tumblr account that I had created sometime in 2017 and which lay dormant since then. Soon, my Tumblr feed was filled with gifs and metas of a show with pretty men. I did not pay much attention to it, till a post about Jin Ling’s Uncle made me snort. Even though I didn’t understand what it was talking about, it was still funny. Realizing that the show is on Netflix, I saw the trailer and wasn’t impressed. Then there was the length. 50 episodes! Holee-moleee. “No. I ain’t got that much time,” I said and moved on. But then, I saw a gif of a man smiling. I had never seen a smile that dazzling. There was something about that smile that made me go back and click on the first episode. And in less than ten minutes of the episode, they killed the man whose smile drew me to the show. WTF? But I had seen gifs of him. There had to be more. Then, the show began and I had no idea what was happening. I decided no smile could be worth the brain-cells I am having to expend for this. Chuck it. But people in Tumblr said, hold on. You will understand it. Episode 2, and I still wasn’t sold. I gave it till episode 5. Then, before I knew it, I finished the 50 episodes and currently reside in the rabbit hole that is The Untamed.

Dir: Zheng Weiwen and Chen Jialin Starring: Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, and a host of others. I can’t write the name of the entire cast, even though I want to.

PS: In case you don’t know, the man with the pretty smile is Xiao Zhan.

Paatal Lok (Season 1): The Netherworld of Crime

by Tanish  

Overview

The life of a simple cop takes a swing as he accidentally lands a once in a lifetime case. Four unrelated criminals, tasked with the murder of a renowned journalist, get busted before the assassination. The whole plan looks like a twisted maze where things just don’t seem to tie up. The cop’s pursuit mission leads him to unravel dark secrets, which he discovers when he goes into the background of criminals involved. He finally unearths the real intent behind the master plan through a journey filled with horror and perils.

Story Line

Four criminals attempting to assassinate a renowned prime time show journalists are suspiciously caught by the Delhi police based on intel.

Hathi Ram, an average police inspector with Delhi Police, accidentally gets the charge of this high-profile case. After a preliminary investigation, Hathi Ram finds out that Vishal Tyagi, one of the four suspects, is a heinous criminal wanted for 45 brutal murders in Chitrakoot, a small village in Madhya Pradesh. When the interrogation leads to nowhere, Hathi Ram decides to visit Chitrakoot, where Vishal Tyagi grew up.

Trusting his instincts, Hathi Ram starts digging into the past of Vishal Tyagi. Meanwhile, his subordinate, Ansari, finds out about the dark history of Tope Singh, another suspect who grew up in a small village in Punjab. Hathi Ram is dejected when media gets the air of a small mistake his team committed early in the case and defames the Delhi Police. Upset, the Delhi Police suspends Hathi Ram and hands over the case to CBI.

CBI rubbishes the leads and linkages discovered by Hathi Ram and, based on their investigation, declares the four suspects as terrorists. Ansari notices something unusual during the press conference and is convinced that the CBI’s story is fabricated. When he shares the observation with Hathi Ram, the inspector decides to leave for Chitrakoot yet again, but this time, off duty.

From where he left, Hathi Ram connects the dots. He follows his instincts, which leads him to undertake a treacherous path where he finally unearths the shocking truth and discovers the ‘Master Ji.’

Key Characters

Hathi Ram Chaudhary

Sanjeev Mehera

Vishal Tyagi

My take on Paatal Lok

Paatal lok is full of plots and turns and does not reveal the real plan till its last episode, where Hathi Ram Chaudhary finally gets a breakthrough that Sanjeev Mehera was never a target, but someone else was.

Overall Paatal Lok revolves around the theme of interlinked corruption in all the three stages of the hierarchy (The Swarg Lok where Gods reside, The Dharti Lok where humans live and Patal Lok where demons reside).

From a criminal to a DCP to a Politician, the corruption goes on increasing up the hierarchy. In the last episode, Hathi Ram Chaudhary also states that he won’t expose any of the people linked with this plot since the exposure of the criminals would put his family in grave danger.

According to my understanding apart from corruption, the primary topic of discussion is the caste-based discrimination in our Country. We all say India is a democratic country, India is a developing and modern country, but the discrimination based on a person’s cast is en rooted in the system. India could only be a real democratic country if it helps the minority community grow instead of being evil to them.

Tarun Tejpal

Tarun J Tejpal is a very renowned Indian Journalist, publisher, novelist, and former editor-in-chief of Tehelka magazine. He was born on 15th March 1963 in Jalandhar, Punjab. With his hard work and dedication, he has overcome various obstacles in his life. His father Inderjit Tejpal, was an army officer due to which he grew up in different parts of the country and making himself aware of different cultures of the country. He did his graduation in Economics from Punjab University.

 After completing his graduation he started working with The Indian Express in the 1980s, but later on he shifted to Delhi for his joining in the new magazine called India 2000. But then again he left India 2000 and joined India Today magazine in 1984. Within four years he made tremendous progress in his field and learned a lot of new things from these organizations. A year later he married to Geeta Batra in 1985. Later on he worked for 10 years in India Today with so much passion and dedication. He was finally able to join Financial Express in 1994 because of his laborious efforts. 

Then the time came when he finally became the founding editor of Outlook (second-largest newsmagazine publication in India). While he was excelling in the field of journalism he simultaneously opened a publishing company named “India Ink”. This publishing company later on published an award-winning novel “The God of Small Things” written by Arundhati Roy in the year 1998. Tarun Tejpal is a person who is never afraid to speak his heart out, and he never hesitates to take risk and learn new things. As a journalist, he has always tried his best to report every news with honesty and authenticity. He is a man of his words. Apart from his professional life, he is a very admirable person in his personal life too. He is a proud father of two daughters. He brought a major change in the world of journalism through his magazine Tehelka. Tehelka was India’s first journalistic website. He wanted to bring back the aggressive public interest journalism of the 1980s through his magazine Tehelka, which he believed was lost somewhere behind the glamour of fashion, food and cinema. He co-founded Tehelka with one of his colleagues in the year 2000. Furthermore, he along with his team of Tehelka.com conducted his first sting operation on the cricket match fixing which was a huge success. And soon a book was published on this sting operation. Thereafter Tehelka became famous for its sting operation. It was Tarun who brought the concept of Sting operations in the Indian Journalism. He wanted to share the true image of various big leaders to the public. 

Few of the major landmark stories that Tehelka covered where police encounters in the north-east, The Ishrat Jahan and Tulsi Prajapati murder, 2G and coal scams, operation west end (defense deal bribes), Gujrat killings, an exposé on Zaheera Sheikh, etc. Tarun always stood up for the rights of the oppressed sections of the Indian society like Dalits, Poor, tribal groups, minorities, etc. And he proved this through his magazine as well. He is never afraid to say the truth. The reporters and writers of the Tehelka magazine have won every journalistic award. From International Press Institute Awards for the best journalism of the year, winning Sanskrit Journalism Award, Statesman’s Award for Rural Reporting, Ramnath Goenka Award to winning multiple South Asia Laadli Media and Advertising Awards they have achieved all of this. 

There are various other awards that he has won in his life. Few of them are:

In 2001, he was named among the “50 leaders at the forefront of change in Asia” by business week.

In the year 2007, The Guardian named Tarun among the 20 who constitute “India’s new elite” for being the pioneer in sting journalism. 

Again in 2009, He was named among “India’s 50 Most Powerful People 2009” by Business week.

In the year 2010, Tarun received the “Award for Excellence in Journalism” by the International Press Institute’s India Chapter Award.

Tarun was also selected as GQ India’s Man of the Year in the year 2011.

 Tarun Tejpal didn’t confine himself to the field of journalism only. His first debut novel The Alchemy of Desire published in the year 2006 won the Le Prix MillePages Award. His second literary novel was based on the true story of his failed assassination bid. With the arrest of his five assassins, he got the idea of writing his second novel The story of my Assassins which was published in 2010. Later on Amazon Prime adopted The Story of My Assassin’s into the 2020s wildly successful web series- Patal Lok.

Here are some Reviews of Tejpal’s Fiction :

New York Journal of Books- “Tarun J. Tejpal is brilliant. A master storyteller, he writes with graphic details so stunning in spots as to make the reader pause for breath.’

The New Yorker- “ A spine-chilling book .... written with flair and clear-eyed acidity.”

Financial Express- “ A devastating tale about political power and its malignity. With his ferocious new book, with his compelling writing, Tejpal ensures, hopefully, that Indian exotica will never sell.”

Business World- “ This  book is a must-read. Extraordinary for its portrayal of modern Indian society....shatters any illusion we may harbor of being tolerant and just....weaves an extremely powerful plot and tells it skillfully.”

The Telegraph- “ "Harsh... sharp, written in an unconventional, ritual idiom that's suggestive... Once it starts it will be hard to put the book down.” 

Tarun J Tejpal is a big name in the journalism world. He is a role model for many journalists as well as many novelists.

ONAM ASHAMSAKAL

Greetings to all on the occasion of ‘Thiruvonam’. Kerala is known as ‘ God’s Own Country’ celebrates Onam today. This is the most important day of Onam festival. The festival started on 22nd August 2020 and will end on 2nd September 2020. Onam signifies the annual homecoming of King Mahabali from Patala Loka, where he was sent by Lord Vishnu’s Vamana avatar. It is a strong belief that King Mahabali, the most liberal and famous King of Kerala visits his kingdom every year from Patal Lok, to see his subjects happy and prosperous on the occasion of the auspicious harvest festival. 

Every year, the Onam celebration keeps going for ten days. The celebrations include Vallam Kali (boat races), Pulikali (tiger dances), Pookkalam (flower arrangement), Onathappan (worship), Onam Kali, Tug of War, Thumbi Thullal (women's dance), Kummattikali (mask dance), Onathallu (martial arts), Onavillu (music), Kazhchakkula (plantain offerings), Onapottan (costumes), Atthachamayam (folk songs and dance), but this year everything is called off due to ongoing Pandemic.  

When we as tourists think of Kerala the first thing which comes to our mind is the mind-blowing scenic beauty, the greenery, the beaches, backwaters, the forts, the spices, Ayurveda, essential oils, the simplicity of the people……. and the list goes on. 

Next comes the famous Pookalam. It is a colourful arrangement of flowers on the floor. It is considered to be very auspicious. ‘Poo’ means flowers and this is done on the floor. It is a rangoli made of flowers and it is believed that it brings good luck.  

Traditionally dress code followed during the festival is off white or cream saree with a golden border commonly called Kerala Saree or Kerala Saree for women and Men with white-colored mundu or dhoti with kasavu border combined with a shirt or kurta is the favourite of all men.

Since Onam is the most important festival of India, a special feast is there. It is called as ‘Onam sadya’ where up to 26 dishes are served on a banana leaf and are to be consumed with the hands.

ELLAVARAKUM HRIDYAM NIRANJA ONAMSHAMSAKAL ………..Wishing all a Happy Onam from the core of my heart.
