Thangalaan review

: Pa Ranjith's film is intertwined with some fantasy and mystical realism. A must watch for Vikram fans.

Thangalaan is a period action drama starring Vikram, Parvathy Thiruvothu and Malavika Mohanan in the lead roles. The film is directed by Pa. Ranjith, produced by Studio Green K.E.Gnanavel Raja and the music is scored by G.V. Prakash Kumar.

Premise:

Britishers are in a wealth hunt, they take tribal people to work for them. Strange visions of Vikram to lead the troop to the Gold-rush area. What happens after forms the crux of the story.

Writing/ Direction:

Gold is the base of the film, the film showcases how it was handled in the 19th century by our rulers. Well-researched in terms of landscape, the way people look and the terms they use, which is sure to take the viewers back in time. The fantasy element is intriguing, the dynamic development of it is one of the few appreciable aspects of the film, the closure to it makes sense, sadly it is rushed by leaving no impact. The first half is like an adventure flick, with many different themes tried, but the result is extremely flat.

No clarity in the fight scenes as to who is winning and who is losing, the Black Panther sequence is a big dud with poor vision and the heavy smoke effects used lowers the visual standard.

Pasupathy’s humour portions are a big relief to the dry screenplay. The second half starts on a promising note with a few good scenes, displaying the happiness of the tribes for receiving new clothes, how the British treat the tribe with respect until they get to the Gold and shows their true nature after that, etc. Post which the film becomes dull with the slavery part not turning out to be emotional on-screen, the payoff is also very weak by bringing in a clumsy platter which is hard to consume. The biggest drawback of the film is the dialogue modulation of the artists which is probably authentic for the period, but had to go through hell to follow and understand.

Performances:

Chiyaan Vikram’s limitless efforts are evident on-screen, showing great variety in makeover, body language and expressions. Parvathy Thiruvothu is very casually natural on-screen, her scenes with the hero are lively, but the script required more to utilize the chemistry between them. Quite a challenging role for Malavika Mohanan, she has given her best, just wish she had more highlight action scenes to prove her full-potential. Pasupathy’s character started off fascinatingly, but then the arc was left abruptly without giving a proper ending it deserved. Stone-faced villains, the issue with foreign actors’ performances which the most Indian films have exists here too. The other supporting characters are written in a half-baked manner that we don’t get to feel for them.

Technicalities:

Meticulous work by G.V.Prakash, top quality songs overall, especially the Minikki Minikki track stands out and it is beautifully placed in the film. Solid score, his music made a lot of weak situations better, he has focused on what instruments to use as well. The visuals are first class, strong production value and location recce have led the team to explore new terrains, however the action is captured in an unimpressive manner. A lot of edit patterns and jump cuts are fascinating, but finesse is missing when things are simple, the packaging fails to engross. VFX is a mixed bag, the models look neat during the static shots, but the motions aren’t done right to make the sequences believable. Stunts lack punch, the approach is realistic but the output feels hurried.

Bottomline

Fantasy element is fine when it stands alone, falters when blent with reality. The film misses to hold the interest except for the initial chunk in the latter half. Had immense potential to be a hard-hitting flick, but it never took off from the ground level.

hindi:- थंगालान समीक्षा: पा रंजीत की फिल्म कुछ कल्पना और रहस्यमय यथार्थवाद से जुड़ी हुई है। विक्रम के प्रशंसकों के लिए यह फिल्म अवश्य देखें।

थंगालान एक पीरियड एक्शन ड्रामा है, जिसमें विक्रम, पार्वती थिरुवोथु और मालविका मोहनन मुख्य भूमिकाओं में हैं।

फिल्म का निर्देशन पा रंजीत ने किया है, जिसका निर्माण स्टूडियो ग्रीन के.ई. ज्ञानवेल राजा ने किया है और संगीत जी.वी. प्रकाश कुमार ने दिया है।

प्रस्तावना:

अंग्रेज धन की तलाश में हैं, वे आदिवासी लोगों को अपने लिए काम पर ले जाते हैं। विक्रम को सेना को गोल्ड-रश क्षेत्र में ले जाने के लिए अजीबोगरीब दृश्य दिखाई देते हैं। उसके बाद क्या होता है, यही कहानी का सार है।

लेखन/निर्देशन:

फिल्म का आधार गोल्ड है, फिल्म दिखाती है कि 19वीं सदी में हमारे शासकों ने इसे कैसे संभाला।

भूदृश्य, लोगों के देखने के तरीके और उनके द्वारा इस्तेमाल किए जाने वाले शब्दों के संदर्भ में अच्छी तरह से शोध किया गया है, जो दर्शकों को निश्चित रूप से समय में पीछे ले जाएगा।

फंतासी तत्व दिलचस्प है, इसका गतिशील विकास फिल्म के कुछ सराहनीय पहलुओं में से एक है, इसका समापन समझ में आता है, दुख की बात है कि इसे जल्दबाजी में बनाया गया है, जिससे कोई प्रभाव नहीं पड़ता।

पहला भाग एक साहसिक फिल्म की तरह है, जिसमें कई अलग-अलग थीम आजमाई गई हैं, लेकिन परिणाम बेहद सपाट है।

लड़ाई के दृश्यों में कोई स्पष्टता नहीं है कि कौन जीत रहा है और कौन हार रहा है, ब्लैक पैंथर का दृश्य खराब दृष्टि के साथ एक बड़ा डफ है और भारी धुएं के प्रभाव का उपयोग दृश्य मानक को कम करता है।

पसुपथी के हास्य भाग सूखी पटकथा के लिए एक बड़ी राहत हैं। दूसरा भाग कुछ अच्छे दृश्यों के साथ एक आशाजनक नोट पर शुरू होता है, जिसमें नए कपड़े प्राप्त करने के लिए जनजातियों की खुशी प्रदर्शित होती है, कैसे ब्रिटिश जनजाति के साथ सम्मान के साथ व्यवहार करते हैं जब तक कि वे गोल्ड तक नहीं पहुंच जाते और उसके बाद अपना असली स्वरूप दिखाते हैं, आदि।

इसके बाद फिल्म सुस्त हो जाती है क्योंकि गुलामी वाला हिस्सा स्क्रीन पर भावनात्मक नहीं बन पाता है, भुगतान भी बहुत कमजोर है क्योंकि एक भद्दा प्लेट पेश किया जाता है जिसे पचाना मुश्किल है।

फिल्म की सबसे बड़ी कमी कलाकारों के संवादों का उतार-चढ़ाव है जो शायद उस दौर के हिसाब से प्रामाणिक है, लेकिन इसे समझने और समझने के लिए नरक से गुजरना पड़ा।

प्रदर्शन:

चियान विक्रम के असीम प्रयास स्क्रीन पर स्पष्ट हैं, मेकओवर, बॉडी लैंग्वेज और भावों में बहुत विविधता दिखाते हैं।

पार्वती थिरुवोथु स्क्रीन पर बहुत सहज रूप से सहज हैं, नायक के साथ उनके दृश्य जीवंत हैं, लेकिन स्क्रिप्ट में उनके बीच की केमिस्ट्री का उपयोग करने के लिए और अधिक की आवश्यकता थी।

मालविका मोहनन के लिए काफी चुनौतीपूर्ण भूमिका, उन्होंने अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ दिया है, बस काश उनके पास अपनी पूरी क्षमता साबित करने के लिए और अधिक हाइलाइट एक्शन दृश्य होते। पसुपति के किरदार की शुरुआत आकर्षक थी, लेकिन फिर आर्क को बिना उचित अंत दिए अचानक छोड़ दिया गया।

पत्थर के चेहरे वाले खलनायक, विदेशी अभिनेताओं के अभिनय की समस्या जो कि अधिकांश भारतीय फिल्मों में होती है, यहाँ भी मौजूद है।

अन्य सहायक पात्रों को आधे-अधूरे तरीके से लिखा गया है कि हम उनके लिए कुछ महसूस नहीं कर पाते।

तकनीकी बातें:

जी.वी.प्रकाश द्वारा किया गया बेहतरीन काम, कुल मिलाकर बेहतरीन गाने, खास तौर पर मिनिक्की मिनिक्की ट्रैक सबसे अलग है और इसे फिल्म में खूबसूरती से रखा गया है।

सॉलिड स्कोर, उनके संगीत ने कई कमज़ोर स्थितियों को बेहतर बनाया, उन्होंने इस बात पर भी ध्यान दिया कि कौन से इंस्ट्रूमेंट का इस्तेमाल करना है।

विज़ुअल बेहतरीन हैं, प्रोडक्शन वैल्यू और लोकेशन रेकी ने टीम को नए इलाकों की खोज करने के लिए प्रेरित किया है, हालांकि एक्शन को बहुत ही कमज़ोर तरीके से कैप्चर किया गया है।

एडिट पैटर्न और जंप कट बहुत आकर्षक हैं, लेकिन जब चीजें सरल होती हैं तो बारीकियाँ गायब हो जाती हैं, पैकेजिंग भी ध्यान खींचने में विफल हो जाती है।

वीएफएक्स एक मिश्रित बैग है, स्टैटिक शॉट्स के दौरान मॉडल साफ-सुथरे दिखते हैं, लेकिन दृश्यों को विश्वसनीय बनाने के लिए गति सही तरीके से नहीं की गई है। स्टंट में दम नहीं है, दृष्टिकोण यथार्थवादी है लेकिन आउटपुट जल्दबाजी में किया गया लगता है।

बॉटमलाइन

फ़ैंटेसी एलिमेंट अकेले होने पर ठीक है, लेकिन वास्तविकता के साथ घुलने-मिलने पर यह कमज़ोर पड़ जाता है।

फिल्म के दूसरे हिस्से में शुरुआती हिस्से को छोड़कर बाकी हिस्सा दिलचस्पी बनाए रखने में विफल रहा। इसमें एक दमदार फिल्म बनने की अपार संभावना थी, लेकिन यह कभी भी जमीनी स्तर पर आगे नहीं बढ़ पाई।

Kalki 2898 AD - Movie Review

India's highest budget movie till date, Kalki 2898 AD has released today. Nag Ashwin, who is just 2 films old (Evade Subramanyam & Mahanati), helming this magnum opus of science fiction interlinked with mythology, is itself a gutsy attempt. Roping in stalwarts like Amitabh and Kamal Haasan, while having "The Prabhas" and Deepika is taking it to next level. Did he live upto the expectations? Let's see.

Story :- It's 2898 AD, where there are only 3 worlds shown. Complex, Kashi and Shambala. Complex controls Kashi and all other worlds with it's dominance under the guidance of Yaskin (Kamal Haasan). They trace fertile women and use them for making Project K a success, which gives super power to Yaskin. Kashi is deprived of all resources and exploited by Complex. Shambala is a rebel group who want to bring down Complex at any cost. Sumathi (Deepika) is pregnant and crucial for Project K to become success, however she escapes from Complex to save her baby. Bhairava (Prabhas) a bounty hunter, who is desperate to shift to Complex from Kashi, wants to catch Sumathi and handover to complex. Ashwathama (Amitabh) is alive just to protect Sumathi's baby. Bhairava and Ashwathama face off each other in this process. Who wins over whom? Was Sumathi protected? Forms the rest of the story.

Performances :- Entire story revolves around Deepika. She was very good in the given scope and interval block stands out. Amitabh Bachchan has most creamy role, be it the elevations, action sequences or back story. He is outstanding in it. This could be termed as the best mass role for Amitabh in ages. Prabhas is the life of the film. What could be otherwise an serious emotional film with slow pace, was made lively with his comedy timing. His camaraderie with Bujji, one liners during action sequences, sequences with Bhramandam or other cameos, makes the movie enjoyable. His get up in the last scene bring goosebumps to fans. Kamal Haasan has limited scope and he excels in it. Despite having prosthetic and graphics, his intensity in acting arrests you. Bengali actor Saswata Chatterjee has a meatier role as commander of Complex and he was great. Shobhana, Pasupathy, Rajendra Prasad, Disha Patani, Anna Ben were fine in their roles. Lot of cameos are there throughout the movie, which surprise us occassionally.

Technicians :- Graphics of the movie is of the highest standard and on par with any Hollywood movie. The team should be applauded for the quality. Art work comes next in line for the accolades, setting up 3 worlds with contrasting premises. Action sequences were very well designed and executed, using the graphics to the maximum extent possible. Santosh Narayanan background score is excellent. Songs could have been better though. Nag Ashwin deserves a bow for the way he has conceived this story and executed it. Perfect blend of Indian mythology in a science fiction film is a very rare phenomenon, which he has aced. No one would believe that the director of Mahanati and Kalki are one and the same. Such is the contrast of these films genre are. He has a Rajamouli and a Bapu in him. Costumes & Make up have complimented the proceedings of the film.

Positives :-

Everything

Negatives :-

Lags in 1st half

Few songs

Summary :- Great story, terrific performances, top notch graphics make it must watch. It should be seen as a story based movie rather than a Prabhas movie, to enjoy it fully. Kudos to Nag Ashwin for pulling it off.

Rating :- 4.5/5 (Kalki is India's Avengers)

Active Listening in communication

Niccoi Cornwall. 27 Feb. 2023

In order to effectively communicate, one must be able to listen to another person's words while also attempting to comprehend their meaning and purpose. This is known as active listening. Being an involved participant in the communication process is necessary.

Active listening techniques include:

Being fully present in the conversation Showing interest by practicing good eye contact Noticing (and using) non-verbal cues Asking open-ended questions to encourage further responses

Why Are Active Listening Skills Important?

Active listening is an important part of your communication skill set because it encourages openness, honesty, and success. When you pay attention to your conversation partner, you show that person they are being heard, thus building trust and making that person feel like their words matter to you. The benefits of active listening affect the speaker as well as you. Attentive listening makes for better living and working environments. It cuts down on miscommunication, facilitates conflict resolution and problem-solving, and generates a more positive atmosphere for sharing.

Problems in Active Listening

Active listening is not an easy skill to acquire. It demands practice. Perhaps more important, it may require changes in our own basic attitudes. These changes come slowly and sometimes with considerable difficulty. Let us look at some of the major problems in active listening and what can be done to overcome them.

To be effective at all in active listening, one must have a sincere interest in the speaker. We all live in glass houses as far as our attitudes are concerned. They always show through. And if we are only making a pretense of interest in the speaker. he will quickly pick this up, either consciously or unconsciously. And once he does, he will no longer express himself freely.

Note

Is it true that there are no other dwija Savarnas in Tamil spaces (TN but also Eelam and Malaysia) other than brahmins?

Not a completely straightforward answer to this, and I am also learning and understanding what Tamil history is and the influence of vedic traditions and beliefs there as well. This is my understanding of it referencing writings of Iyothee Thass, Periyar, Ambedkar, M.S.S Pandian, Kancha Iliah Shepherd primarily.

short answer, no most nonbrahmin savarnas in tamil society are considered sudra and the concept of twice-born status is limited. the self-respect movement through marimalai adigal and periyar's writings further entrench this division along brahmin/nonbrahmin [brahmin and non brahmin m.s.s pandian goes into this history really well]

Caste among Tamils is a bit complex, primarily because the systems that exist up north did not fully integrate or passed through to the south and in eelam in Tamil communities. There were no established/institutionalized vaishya and kshatriya castes, there are claims by different communities but its not widespread. So they were generally, dalit, tribal communities, nonbrahmins (who broadly were identified as shudras) and brahmins. unlike in a lot of regions in the north, you did not have to be twice born to own land. tamil society had a strong cultivator caste, vellalars, who had varied occupations and were feudal in nature though some subcastes and communities also tilled their own land as well. brahminism became integrated into tamil society through vellalar/feudal cooperation and practices of untouchability and deeper entrenchment of caste divisions result. vellalars hold more dominant status in eelam though than vellalars in tamil nadu. you also had the bhakti movement in later eras of the sangam period which was a reformation movement of shaivite and vaishnavite traditions, and so as a result you have some communities and castes who become twice - born and wear the thread but it is not widespread. if you've seen thangalaan, pasupathy's character and the references to ramanuja are tied to that. this is a very general/broad explanation and there is so much more nuance and history too within both contexts. Ultimately, the lack of nonbrahmin twice born castes just means caste violence and contours of power in Tamil society is a bit different, like the extent that sudra castes who are considered ritually impure still hold material wealth and power, and perpetuate brahminism violently.

"Penance." From the Atharvasiras Upanishad, “The Exploration of the Mysteries of the Rather Striking Helmet."

Next begins a fiercely monotheistic description of how Rudra, beatification works in the Self and the soul of creation:

5.1 This god is the one who pervades in all directions. He is the one who came earlier than everything. He is the one who is in the womb. He is the one who is in all the creatures which have come out till now and all those who are going to be created in future. He is also the one who sees the inside but the one who has a face which looks outside.

5.2 Rudra is one and only one. There is no second to him. He rules all worlds by his power. He pervades fully in all beings. He is the one who, at the time of deluge, absorbs all beings. He is the one who creates all beings and upkeeps them.

5.3 He alone exists, in all organs where birth takes place. He travels among all beings and is the reason for their existence. The seeker would get immeasurable peace by searching and surrendering to this god, who gives everything to the one who asks and who is praiseworthy.

5.4 He converts fire, air, water, earth, ether and everything that exists here into ash. He who sees this and mentally realizes it and observes the “penance to Pasupathi (Lord of all beings)” and who coats ash all over his body with this ash attains the state of Brahman. By worshipping “Pasupathi (lord of all beings)” like this, the ties of bondage of all beings get cut and they attain salvation.

5.5 There is none greater than him, on whom all the worlds are strung like beads. Over the ages, nothing so far where greater than him and nothing is going to be greater than him. He has thousands of legs but one and only one head. He pervades everywhere.

The key to turning this section into an actionable spiritual plan is found in the words, “penance to all beings”. Repentance is the seed of atonement and beatification of our suffering world. Also “he has a thousand legs and one head”.

We must all surely agree there is too much pain and suffering on this world as if we had one point of view on this. Once we know what we are seeing is true, then we need to do whatever it takes to make things work again.

This simple approach to the use of our time and money should be able to change every mind on earth and speed relief to the needy and troubled. Still, the munitions and bullets get made and shipped and buildings are collapsing, the bodies are piling up, particularly in Russia, and tears are falling in sheets of rain.

The Lake Beckons

Inspired by "Misery's Lake" by @bubblegumbeech

Album artwork by bibliophilea

Lake wave recordings by arpeggio1980 and TRP on freesound.org

For @invisobang 2024

Flynn has lived on the edge of this lake for as long as he can remember. And for just as long he's been trying to make sure no one else ends up like him or the ghosts he calls his siblings. Unfortunately for him, the teenager that keeps knocking on his door seems to have the wrong idea about things and it's only a matter of time the Lake gets him too.

Read the phic here: ao3 Listen to the song here: bandcamp | spotify

Thank you @kinglazrus, for heading Invisobang, and putting so much work into making it such a phun event! And thank you, @strawberrycamel and @underforeversgrace, for all the work you guys put into helping run the event! Y'all are amazing, and you make this event amazing!

And thank you, Bee, for writing such a phenomenal phic! You write creeping horror incredibly well, and I adore how you weave it into everything about the story - the characters, their surroundings, the narrative, the style, everything! I love how you characterize Flynn in particular, and how he relates to his situation, and how he relates to Danny! It's so well done, and so well crafted!

I hope the music does your work justice!

Passage from Chapter 1 under the cut:

A call came from across the water.

“Do you see anything?”

“No,” Flynn called back, half bent over the edge of his small dinghy. His eyes scanned as far as he could see in the dark. The lake was still, flat: more like a black glass mirror than anything else.

They weren’t going to find anything. They never did.

Flynn had to help the search anyways.

It was best to try and avoid anyone else disappearing, and an unorganized search in the middle of the night through miles of deep water was a surefire way for more than just a two-person canoe to disappear.

The one other volunteer with him, Valerie, shifted the searchlight a few inches to the left, lighting up another long strip of identical lake water.

“You’d think they’d stop asking every five minutes when we’ve been giving them the same answer,” she grumbled; frustration, worry, and a distinct lack of sleep all warring for prominence in her features. “This is a waste of time. We’ve never been able to recover anyone from this lake.”

Flynn shrugged, keeping his eyes on the expanse of dark water. For a moment, something blue flickered beneath the calm surface, then disappeared. “You think they’d stop letting people in.”

“Not with the new marina they just opened.” Valerie looked over at him, taking her gaze off the search for a moment just to throw him a look. Assessing.

He couldn’t quite hide his scowl, and turned away to look somewhere else. “Nothing I can do about that, good old imminent domain and the importance of tourists’ pocket money.”

That got him a chuckle and a gentle ribbing on his side with her elbow. “This your origin story as a Scooby-doo villain?” she asked, and Flynn let himself smile, let himself relax.

They wouldn’t find anything tonight, the boat they were looking for would have long capsized and sank to the bottom of the lake. In the morning they’d send out a new crew; different volunteers looking for corpses instead. They’d probably try to dredge the bottom of the lake.

Flynn wondered if they’d find the bodies this time, or if the thick layer of sediment and mud had claimed them already.

“I’ve never liked being out here.” Valerie shivered, taking one hand off the searchlight to try and bring her coat in closer. It was always a bit colder on the lake. She hadn’t properly prepared for it. People rarely did.

A whistle sounded, calling for the end of the search, and Flynn tried not to make it obvious how much his relief relaxed him. “No one actually likes it out here,” he said, back to Valerie’s point. “It's creepy as hell.”

He pulled the starter cord and let out a soft breath when the engine purred back to life. Maybe he’d be able to relax soon, enjoy his night and sit with a cup of tea, a nice book. Maybe he could even get enough sleep to tend to his garden in the morning.

It was a choice to ignore the way Valerie was staring, and how heavy her gaze weighed on the back of his neck.
