Should you watch Hi Nanna?

The year 2023 saw the Indian film industry flourish most brightly with both Bollywood and movies from the south gaining global recognition and praise. Bollywood saw the blockbuster return of ‘King Khan’ SRK with monumental hits – Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. We saw Ranbir Kapoor breaking records left & right with his highly popular yet controversial movie Animal. Then at the tail end of the year, we witnessed an epic by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, 12th Fail. In the myriad of action and drama, Hi Nanna stood out as the soft yet impactful touch.

margazhi, Ep 4 - Modern Love Chennai

Milton & Jazmine

This will probably be my most favorite episode. It made me feel childlike excitement that we feel when we are around someone who we have a crush on. Like its just so easy and pure, teenage crushes are so much fun. Jazmine trying to catch a glimpse of Milton everywhere she went was so cute. And I think her saying that she will never be able to forget him is probably because he managed to make her so happy this winter after her parents had separated. She had found a kindred spirit. It made me emotional because I’ll probably never get to go back to that teen phase of crushes and also cuz I am on my period so more emo ig :P BUT ITS SO FUCKING CUTE.

And he says you don’t even try to impress anyone and she smirks slightly when WE BOTH know that she did slowly try to get his attention like anyone who has a crush on anyone. ITS SO SIMPLE. My heart.

Moreover, tamil is one of my most favorite languages to hear. I wish i could speak it more fluently. It’s so beautiful and we know that english will never ever be able to capture the true essence of any indigenous language.

Here is a small excerpt from the episode of the never forget you dialogue:

“After I leave, will you remember me?”

‘I’ll never be able to forget you.”

He smiles.

GAHHHHHHHH😭😭brb while i go cry frends

Vaaranam Aayiram (2008) review

Translation: Thousand Elephants

Well this was a great film to end 2023/start 2024 with.

Before I talk about my personal stuff connected to this film, this is genuinely an amazing film. Barely anyone can compare to Suriya’s amazing double acting in this movie, Simran, Divya Spandana and Sameera Reddy were also great. Harris Jayaraj wrote an AMAZING album to this movie (get more into that later). In general, one of Gautham Vasudev Menon’s best films in my opinion. Only flaw is probably hearing Suriya saying daddy to himself for 2hr 30min straight.

Personally, this movie has been an influence to me my whole life. It was released around the time I was born, and I was a picky eater (still am) so my dad would put me in a high chair and would play songs on his phone which only had ‘Annal Mele Panithuli’ to feed me. When I watched this film, my dad walked in at the start and laughed, saying that he would never forget this movie because of me and how he brought me up with film back then.

Now having watched it, I saw a lot of similarities between Suriya and Krishnan and me and my dad. My mum even admits that my dad spent more time caring for me when I was a baby than herself. If im being honest, I have a greater bond with my dad than my mum. I’m really scared for the future, I’m scared similar events will happen, especially since my dad’s health isn’t the best, but this film brought me strength. As Simran says at the end, “whatever happens, life has to go on”.

I love you dad.

Rating: 4.5/5

P.s I suggest you listen to this movie’s soundtrack at least, it’s beautiful

Vallavaraiyan Vanthiyadevan had it bad for his best friend. Over the many years of friendship and his feelings came and went like the ebbs and flows of the Ponni river. He knew early on that he admired Adithya Karikalan, the fiercely handsome eldest son and heir to the Chola dynasty. But he was not quite sure when that admiration had morphed into something else. But with eyes that intense and shoulders that broad and strong, I mean what was a man to do? It was a wonder he hadn’t fallen sooner.

or Vanthiyadevan has pretty much resigned himself to being a lovesick flirt for the rest of his life, but when he is sent on a mission to deliver an olai to the king he soon discovers he has a type, and that type is Chola royalty.

Hiya! Chapter 2 of my gay ponniyin selvan fic is up hahahaha I wasn’t going to write anymore of this but it seems like people wanted more so here we are 🤷🏾‍♀️

Essential Kantara Movie Rant

Essential Kantara Movie Rant

‘One of the greatest movies you’ll ever see’. Yes, ever. ‘Masterpiece’. These and a dozen other fulsome praises from moviegoers have helped the Kannada movie Kanthara, now also dubbed in Hindi rake up money at the box office. To be honest, I can’t remember the last time when any movie with close to zero PR, and mostly word-of-mouth pull up crowds to theatres like this. And remember markets are…

 जिगरथंडा डबल X – जंगल बनाम जंगली, राइफल बनाम रील

कार्तिक सुब्बराज की फिल्म ‘जिगरथंडा डबल X’ कुछ अपना सा ही वक्त लेती है मुख्य मुद्दे तक पहुंचने के लिए। फिल्म कुछ लड़खड़ाती, कुछ संभलती हुई मध्यांतर तक पहुंचती है। पर इसके साथ ही वो पहुंचती है जंगल में। इस जंगल में कहानी को मिलती है भावनाओं और विचारों की वो उत्तेजना एवं गुरुत्वाकर्षण कि कहानी के साथ-साथ हम भी जंगल छोड़ना नहीं चाहते। मानव सभ्यता के विकास के तमाम चरणों के बाद भी, अगर कोई एक भाव है…

The big-budget movie of the T-Series Films is failing miserably at the box office as it should. The three-hour-long torture to the eyes can never be a success, even if it had a premium promotion and an ensemble cast. Adipurush is one of the most expensive Indian movies ever made with an approximate budget of $63 million, and with that sum of money, they ended up creating a B-grade garbage.
