Why does Kundavai remind me of Mahesh Babu from Seethamma Vakitlo Sirrimalle Chettu

[beforeiread-studies]

Anna, have you seen Happy New Year (peak camp + srk speaks korean)? Also if you’ve not seen Om Shanti Om, I’d suggest holding off since it’s full of references.

a few telugu movies I’d recommend: Missamma (1952), RRR (you might’ve heard of it), Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi, Okkadu, Anand (2004).

fun fact: its apparently easier to learn korean if you know a dravidian language (telugu, tamil, etc) since there’s a similar structure to sentence and words!

sorry for the late reply. I have not watched Happy New Year nor Om Shanti Om yet, as I thought of working my way through the 90s yet. But omg Korean???? And do you have any recs of movies I should watch that are referenced in Om Shanti Om?

Thank you for the telugu recs! I'll let you know how I like them :D

Son of a former Telugu Palegaadu Mallareddy and Seethamma, Narasimha Reddy was born in Rupanagudi village, Uyyalawada Mandal, Kurnool district. He and his commander-in-chief Vadde Obanna were at the heart of the rebellion against British in 1847, where 5,000 peasants rose up against the British East India Company in Kurnool district, Rayalaseema Region of Andhra Pradesh. They were protesting against the changes introduced by the British to the traditional agrarian system in the first half of the nineteenth century.

Brahmotsavam movie in ma

BRAHMOTSAVAM MOVIE IN MA TV

Moral of the colourful story: A montage of beautiful visuals (Rathnavelu’s brilliance), lots of happy people, and frequent song and dance routines may be the perfect ingredients for a ‘brahmotsavam’, but the end result needn’t necessarily be a good film. Rao Ramesh, as usual, gives a stellar act, but what’s the use? Everyone else does what’s expected. Honestly, we’ve seen so much of this fawning over Mahesh’s fabled good looks that it’s boring now, especially when you go as far as to make a little kid ask him if he’ll marry her. For much of the film, he is just hanging around, smiling and looking pretty. Sadly, you don’t get to see enough of that. That one shot where he paces up and down, with pain, confusion and despair on his face, all at once, gives you a peek into what Mahesh can do as an actor. Mahesh Babu’s performance in the pre-interval sequence is the best part of the film. Nothing really happens, except that somewhere along the way, hero realises he loves heroine. The hero goes around meeting extended family (we never know why), and keeps hopping from Nagpur to Solapur to Haridwar to Kasi and finally, Bangalore. But wait, she’s not even his girlfriend, yet. The next moment, he’s on a whirlwind tour of India, girlfriend (Samantha) in tow, in search of his roots. One moment, we are thinking the hero (Mahesh Babu), distraught after his father’s untimely death, will take on the mantle and keep the family together. The director doesn’t know what he wants to really convey with all these good people. But till the end, there’s no explanation why they’re all so good. The film starts off by introducing all the “manchi” people in this huge, and “manchi”, family. So much so, it makes us want to ask, Addala garu, we get it. So much so, you can’t help but root for the hero’s first love, Kasi (Kajal) who dumps him, unable to cope with his saccharine sweet forever-happy family. And Brahmotsavam takes this indulgence to the next level - it’s about values, values, values and oh, more values. You saw glimpses of it in Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. If that’s not syrupy enough, there’s ample use of pretty people smiling all the time their prettiness further amplified with all those glossy filters. Think very large, very happy families, living in palatial homes, doling out lengthy dialogues on family values. Movie Review: With Brahmotsavam, Srikanth Addala has tried to deliver a Sooraj Barjatya experience to the Telugu cinema goer.

Câu Hỏi: Tại sao trở thành một người luôn cố gắng làm hài lòng người khác (people-pleaser) lại không tốt vậy?

TRẢ LỜI: SRINATH NALLURI, NEUTRALIST

ARTWORK BY INSTAGRAM.COM/JAMESJEANART

__________________________________

Đây là một cảnh phim đẹp trong phim Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu nè.

Nhân vật chính của bộ phim này cũng là một kiểu người mắc hội chứng người tốt đó. (*)

Anh ta luôn mỉm cười với tất cả mọi người, kể cả với những người anh ta ghét. Khôn ngoan và lịch thiệp, anh ta luôn cố gắng xử sự một cách khéo léo trong tất cả mọi tình huống.

Đến cuối phim, người đàn ông ấy đi đến một buổi phỏng vấn.

Người phỏng vấn nói: ‘Mọi thứ đều ổn - anh có vẻ đáp ứng đủ điều kiện, các chứng chỉ của anh cũng rất tốt. Duy chỉ có một điều. Nụ cười của anh không thật.

“Sao ạ…?”

“Cách anh cười trông giả quá. Nụ cười đó không thật sự xuất phát từ nội tâm.”

Vậy nên đó là một nhược điểm của việc làm một người luôn cố gắng làm hài lòng tất cả mọi người đó.

Có đôi khi cái giá phải trả là chính con người thật của bạn.

Bạn quên mất việc được là chính mình trong khi mải loay hoay chiều ý tất cả mọi người.

Sự trộn lẫn của những thứ giả mạo bạn cố gắng tạo nên để làm hài lòng người khác lén lút len lỏi vào sâu trong những ngõ ngách trong tâm hồn bạn và dần trở thành một nhân cách mới.

Bạn trở thành một con người khác, một người mà bạn không hề quen thuộc.

Việc này y hệt như một cạm bẫy phổ biến trong việc viết kịch bản vậy á.

Lúc mới bắt đầu, tác giả có một ý tưởng rất độc đáo và thú vị nhưng chỉ phù hợp với một phân khúc người xem nhất định mà thôi.

Nhưng không, ông tác giả tham vọng muốn bộ phim phải được rất nhiều người biết đến.

Tác giả muốn tiếp cận được tới giới trẻ. Vậy nên ông thêm vào một số cảnh lãng mạn và hành động gây cấn.

Mà ổng cũng muốn có người xem là mấy hộ gia đình, nên ổng giảm bớt mấy tình tiết căng thẳng đi rồi thêm vào mấy cảnh hài hước vui nhộn.

Vậy đó nên cái ý tưởng độc đáo ban đầu của tác giả cứ tiếp tục bị pha loãng để có thể thu hút được người xem ở nhiều phân khúc hơn, và cuối cùng nó trở thành một bộ phim bình thường như bất kỳ bộ phim nào khác.

Quy tắc tương tự cũng áp dụng cho lối sống của bạn.

Càng nhiều người bạn muốn gây ấn tượng, cá tính riêng của bạn sẽ càng loãng đi.

(*): Xin phép dùng cụm từ “Hội chứng người tốt” để ngắn gọn, dựa theo bài Hội chứng "People Pleaser" - Người tốt hay nô lệ của hình ảnh tử tế? của bạn Mayanvie trên Spiderum

Câu Hỏi: Làm sao tôi có thể dừng việc làm người luôn cố gắng làm hài lòng người khác?

TRẢ LỜI: PARTEEK KANSAL

Steve Jobs đã có một câu nói rất hay. Nó như thế này:

"Everything around that you call life was made up by people who were no smarter than you."

(Tạm dịch: Tất cả mọi thứ xung quanh mà bạn gọi là cuộc sống đều được tạo nên bởi những người không hề thông minh hơn bạn)

Hội chứng người tốt bắt nguồn từ việc nghiện sự hài lòng.

Nó xuất phát từ niềm tin sai lần rằng mọi người thích bạn vì những gì bạn làm cho họ, chứ không phải vì chính bản thân bạn.

Nó dần trở nên độc hại khi bạn bắt đầu thỏa hiệp với giá trị và niềm tin của chính bản thân mình để chiều theo một ai đó và nhận được sự hài lòng của họ. Theo thời gian, bạn sẽ quên mất mình là ai. Con người thật của bạn dần tan rã và bạn không còn giữ lại chút gì cho chính mình.

Đây là một quy trình ba bước thường diễn ra với những người mắc hội chứng người tốt:

Bạn hy sinh các giá trị và niềm tin của riêng mình chỉ để làm vừa lòng ai đó.

Bạn cảm thấy phẫn uất.

Bạn bắt đầu đổ lỗi cho người khác.

Cách để phá vỡ chu trình này là phải hiểu được bạn có thể sống cuộc đời của mình theo cách mình muốn mà không cần có sự hài lòng hay chấp thuận của bất kỳ ai hết và không có gì sai trái với điều đó cả. Một khi bạn quyết định sống cuộc sống của mình thì những con người có cùng tần số sẽ tự động bị thu hút, họ sẽ thích và tôn trọng bạn thôi. Bạn chẳng cần làm bất kỳ điều gì hay hy sinh cái gì cho họ. Chỉ cần LÀ chính mình và họ sẽ thích bạn bởi chính con người thật của bạn đó.

Một khi bạn đã vượt qua được nỗi sợ hãi bị phản đối hay dè bỉu và bắt đầu chậm rãi chấp nhận chính con người của mình, bạn sẽ cảm thấy bớt lo lắng hay băn khoăn dần dần mỗi khi ai đó bị chê bai.

Đó là một quá trình nhận thức bản thân và học cách yêu thương chính mình. Bạn sẽ nhận ra người quan trọng nhất mà bạn phải làm hài lòng không ai khác là chính bản thân bạn. Không có nghĩa là phải trở nên ích kỷ nhé. Nó chỉ là bạn sẽ phải quan tâm đến cảm xúc và giá trị của bản thân nhiều hơn là lo cho người khác thôi. Rằng bạn sẽ sẵn sàng chiến đấu cho chính mình. Rằng bạn sẽ không hy sinh những giá trị của mình để làm hài lòng một ai đó. Rằng bạn vẫn có thể là một người giàu lòng trắc ẩn và luôn quan tâm đến mọi người trong khi vẫn giữ vững được những giá trị và niềm tin của riêng mình.

Thoát khỏi hội chứng người tốt nghĩa là thoát khỏi nỗi sợ hãi bị chê bai, chỉ trích hay bất hòa.

Nó có nghĩa là tạo ra những ranh giới và không để ai vượt qua chúng trong bất kỳ trường hợp nào.

Nó có nghĩa là chịu trách nhiệm cho những cảm xúc và cả cuộc sống của chính bạn.

Nó có nghĩa là chọn lấy hạnh phúc chứ không phải ôm vào sự oán giận.

Nó có nghĩa là chọn cách tôn trọng bản thân hơn là ghê tởm bản thân.

Nó có nghĩa là yêu lấy bản thân mình ngay cả trong những thời điểm mà bạn những tưởng rằng sẽ không ai yêu bạn.

Post # 124

The economics, humanities and politics of "Sarai"...

In February, 2014, the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Bill was passed and Telangana broke away. The resultant state of Andhra now looks like this. :-)

In 2019, state general elections were held in A.P and YSR Congress won hands down. YS Jaganmohan Reddy became Chief Minister and set out to fulfill a unique electoral promise to his vote bank - Prohibition of Liquor in the state of A.P.

The new liquor policy, which includes a 40% reduction in bar licences, exorbitant hike of new license fees, closure of some 40000 illegal outlets, time restrictions and take over of bars by A.P State Beverages Corporation, aims to make Andhra Pradesh alcohol-free by 2024. A.P will then join Gujarat, Bihar, Mizoram, Nagaland and Lakshadweep as states/territories which have successfully implemented liquor prohibition.

But will Jagan be able to make this initiative a success in A.P? Because, this is not the first time such a thing has been tried in Andhra. In 1995, in a strange reversal of roles, Telugu Desam Party won the state elections, crushing Congress, and TDP Chief N T Rama Rao banned the sale of liquor in A.P. In 1995, his son-in-law, N. Chandrababu Naidu, staged a coup-of-sorts, toppled NTR, became Chief Minister and in 1997, reversed the decision.

But what was all that drama back then in 1990s? Therein lies a tale.

First of all, let's understand the economics of Liquor production and sale. Why is the state government so interested in it? It's very simple. Liquor fills the state government's revenue coffers in form of excise duty on its production. The state government also makes money from the issuance of licenses for its sale. Liquor boosts tourism and entertainment industries too.

The A.P state government discovered this golden hen sometime in the 1970s and since then, liquor has become a state policy. In 1970, the excise duty collected from liquor was INR 40 crores, which jumped to INR 800 crores in early 1990s and quantum leaped to INR 12000 crores in 2015. That's big money coming into the state revenue coffers.

In 1983, when NT Rama Rao came to power for the first time, he introduced a particularly aggressive liquor policy called Varuna Vahini (literally meaning Flood of Liquor), which delivered government-manufactured country liquor - Sarai, in Telugu, Arrack in English - to doorsteps, in easily affordable plastic sachets and bottles. He used some of this revenue to subsidise other populist schemes, like Rs 2 per kilo rice scheme.

Andhra Pradesh typically constitutes about 3-5% of sales of major liquor manufacturers like United Breweries and United Spirits. So, they usually have a word or two to say in this regard.

Oh! By the way, liquor contractors make a truck load of money too, which they invest in real estate, films, finance and construction projects, and make donations to cultural and religious institutions, thus strengthening their socio-political clout.

So, net-net, liquor manufacturing and sale is a well-oiled economic engine for any state, especially for Andhra Pradesh.

Now, let's understand the human aspects of state-promoted liquor sales.

I read a report that said, in 1991-92, the average annual income of a family in Andhra was, hold your breath, INR 1840. This was the total family income, for the entire year!

Out of this, the working male spent INR 830 on liquor. So, the man of the house spent 45% of his measly income on Sarai - Arrack. It was the norm. Every man, in every house, did it. And the government promoted it, supported it and benefited from it.

The logic was - the poor man had spent a miserable day, doing a miserable job, for a miserable pay. So it's ok, if he drowns his misery in a drink after sunset. Hmm. The problem was - the miserable man had a family - a wife, who slogged all day to make ends meet and feed her children. And god forbid, if there was an illness in the family, begging was the only way out.

On top of it, any body who has had a drink in their life knows, liquor is ok as a socializing drink. But it doesn't alleviate a man's misery. Infact, it compounds it.

This foul smelling man, in his foul mood, came home at midnight, in stupor, and sparks flew. Domestic violence, physical and mental abuse, were rampant. Suicides, rapes and murders were common.

Net-net, life in a village in Andhra Pradesh, which had a government-promoted arrack shop, was living hell, especially for the women folk. And because Arrack sale filled government coffers, there was an Arrack shop in every village. So life, in pretty much every village in Andhra Pradesh, was living hell for its women folk.

All of this was indicating an impending change. And change happened - in form of a massive, state level, Anti-Arrack movement, led by the women folk of Andhra Pradesh, which resulted in the prohibition of alcohol in the state!

In 1988, the Government of India launched the National Literacy Mission (NLM). In January 1990, the NLM was launched in Nellore district in Andhra Pradesh. The state-organised mass-literacy campaigns led to women getting together and discussing their problems. The awareness brought on by these group discussions resulted in the women discovering that the consumption of locally made, cheap Arrack was the main source of their unsettled domestic life. This awareness resulted in a spontaneous movement in the small village of Dubagunta in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh.

The rural women of the village, who had no autonomy in any sphere of life, took it in their hands to fight against the production and sale of Arrack. They raided the Arrack shops with broomsticks and chili powder and cowered the owner into shutting the shop.

What started as an agitation in a single village, soon turned into a state-wide movement. In each village, women simply destroyed the ingredients used for the production of liquor. They also started policing the men in their individual households against consuming Arrack.

They then started speaking against the liquor contractors, local bureaucracy, police officials and even the Chief Minister. They started questioning the government on the availability of basic amenities like water, schools etc, which were in a dearth, as opposed to Arrack, which was always easily available. When the government insisted that the excise collected from the production of Arrack was used for welfare programmes, like the subsidy of rice, the women even agreed to contribute a day’s wages to help in the welfare schemes.

For them, it was clear. The cost-benefit equation of government-promoted liquor policies on human indices simply didn't match up to the economics. They put their foot down. Finally, when the movement had gained momentum in three districts, the government had to buckle under the pressure and ban Arrack in the state.

Now, let's go to the politics of the matter. Where there is a people's movement, there will be politics. And political parties.

It was 1994 - the election year in A.P. NT Rama Rao of TDP, the main opposition party, promised his electorate that, if they elected him to power, he would ban all forms of alcohol from the state (Toddy and IMFL - Indian made foreign liquor - were still available.) Ironically, it was his Varuna Vahini programme that was responsible for this situation. But, it was a powerful promise. So, he won a landslide election, came to power, and fulfilled his promise.

In 1995, Andhra Pradesh became alcohol free!

But this situation was shortlived. Within 9 months, NTR's son-in-law, N Chandrababu Naidu, staged a coup against his father-in-law, stating excessive interference of his second wife Parvathy Laxmi, in the party politics. Both NTR and Parvathy Laxmi were ousted from the party.

In 1997, Chandrababu Naidu, repealed the prohibition, stating that the exchequer has lost INR 1200 crores that year in excise revenue, illegal bootlegging had become unstoppable and that he was under pressure from all quarters to repeal the "dry rule." A few hushed and a few not-so-hushed voices say that there was no intent in the first place.

That's why there is some scepticism about Jaganmohan Reddy's latest initiative. Is there political will?

Post Script::

In 2016, 93 year old Dubagunta Rosamma, one of the early Anti-Arrack crusaders passed away, in Nellore.

Inspired by the story Seethamma kadha (the story of Seethamma) taught as part of the adult literacy programme in the night school in her village, the women of Dubagunta, led by Rosamma, destroyed the pots storing Arrack, after giving assurance to the families depending on the trade, thus sparking the first light of what would soon become a state-level agitation.

May this post be a small tribute to her!
