I want you to watch this movie so we can talk about its crackships and shit ☠️

(if you have already then even better!)

i have started it and i will complete it hopefully within today but oh my lord 😭😭😭 assamese movies are something ELSE

[wherestoriescomefrom]

do u have any movie recommendations? I trust ur taste and ur taste alone

omg anon,,, thank u. i will try not to disappoint you. i have zero idea what you are in the mood for, so i will just go for the ones i think about daily. fair warning though, almost every good movie that i love and that lives rent free in my mind is from south asia.

Karnan: this movie has seriously been living rent free in my mind since 2021. it's. SO GOOD. warning for police brutality and caste based violence, though. but it's so good, and so worth it, so well fantastically well made. shockingly i haven't seen mari selvaraj's other film, Periyerum Perumal but this one. oh fuck. for a little bit of context, the movie is about these two villages who have a lot of inter caste disputes (while both are oppressed caste communities), and our titular hero's village, Podiyankulam is constantly denied a bus stop. it is such a good think piece on the ways in which caste violence is facilitated, the streams and rivers of oppression that prevent a people from living better lives. so SO good. i think its available on prime.

Village Rockstars: completely a different movie, but this movie is genuinely so loveable. it's about this one girl in a small assamese village who REALLY wants a guitar. it's a very slow moving movie, with some of the most beautiful shots of the director's own village. it's so evident the director just went "you have no idea how beautiful my village is. let me show you," and then infused the film with love from every angle. this one might be on netflix or prime, but one of them will have it.

Made in Bangladesh: this movie is not going to be available anywhere, so if you want to watch it, hmm. well. i shant say. i think the title says it all, but it's about a group of women working in a garments factory in Bangladesh and how they try to unionise. it's not a sob fest, it's not giving you scary facts about what you already know, but it is telling you how difficult it is to ask for anything when you are working in these conditions. again. fantastically made.

Tumbbad: horror movie. upper caste greed. a witch out of which a tree grows. a horrible, monstrous little creature. the sins of fathers passed on to their sons.

The Great Indian Kitchen: i love south indian food. not after this movie though. as my friend cherry says, "south indian traditional food basically means a woman cooks for five hours in the kitchen while the men relax." it's so damn GOOD though. the food i mean (also the movie, but fr). have you had an appam anon????? best thing i tasted since cream buns from sunder bakery. anyway this movie is another horrifying one, you should definitely watch it. it's so good. it tells you so much about the emotional and physical labour women do.

Wade: i can't believe i almost forgot wade, here it is. it's a short ten minute animated movie that put the fear of god in me. about climate change, if you can guess by the name. the sunderbans have been flooded, and if you can imagine what happens next, no you can't.

Jab We Met: okay enough of this depressing shit. also absolutely no one is allowed to judge me. i would die for this movie. i would kill for this movie. legally, if you shame me for this, i'm allowed to murder you. also i KNOW i know it has a manic pixie dream girl but he manic pixie dream girls her RIGHT BACK. i rest my case. also the songs are awesome. this is more traditional bollywood, and i have no regrets.

Jodhaa Akbar: what? i KNOW, i know it is sanitising a story to make Akbar look like the good mughal, i KNOW ruqqaiya begum was akbar's first wife not jodha, i KNOW fatehpur sikri wasn't even made when this film is presumably set, but the VIBES. the vibes are IMMACULATE. Jodha watching Akbar as he swings his sword in the sunlight??? their duel???? the flowers he throws on her??? kill me. kill me now.

Your Name: okay we all know the joke Shinkai can only make one movie but this first one. it had something. also i'm a sucker for the red string of fate. otherwise it's a very standard body swap movie but it's SO GOOD, and as it goes further some of the most amazing animation also happens.

you know i can keep going, i didn't even mention the lunchbox or kumbhalangi nights, but i guess we shouldn't discriminate against the white people

Knives Out: please,,, i know its the movie of the year on tumblr but,,,, so good,,,,,. maybe i'm just a loser who has read too much christie in my life, but i love that the christie style detective is back!! the country house murder, the fantastic way johnson used narrators in the film.... immaculate. christie would be proud. also i know it gets flack for not being as sharp a critique as it could be (i think rightfully, that criticism is for glass onion. i liked it A LOT for a murder mystery, but its politics are duller than the first one's), but it's not a movie about race and class inequality. it's a movie about a murder. johnson just really accurately diagnoses the underlying issues through which a murder happens. also im a BITCH for a classic murder mystery.

Ernest and Celestine: a lovely animated movie about a friendship between a bear and a small mouse, who are supposed to be mortal enemies. also the animation is lovely, did i mention the animation is lovely?

Pride and Prejudice, 2005: you can't come to me for recs and not expect it to be there. i mean, the movie is a masterpiece.

oh i can't think of anything that you guys wouldn't have already heard of.... but i do love How To Train Your Dragon, and Into the Spiderverse. i will go insane when the sequel for the second one comes out. i LOVED Palm Springs when i watched it. OH Emma 2020 really delivered. Do Revenge was amazing too!! im sorry i have less to say about the white people movies......

oh. three white people movies that i genuinely cannot get out of my mind: A Few Good Men, The Scent of a Woman and My Cousin Vinny. make of that what you will.

The Unforgettable Songs of Mahalakshmi Iyer

The Indian music industry has been blessed with some extraordinary talents, and among them stands Mahalakshmi Iyer — a playback singer whose voice has the power to transcend language and genre. Known for her melodious renditions and incredible adaptability, Mahalakshmi has carved a niche for herself in a fiercely competitive industry. Her journey, marked by dedication and passion, reflects her immense contribution to Bollywood and regional music industries alike. From soulful ballads to peppy chartbusters, her versatility has cemented her place as one of the most respected voices in Indian music.

Early Life and Musical Training

Mahalakshmi Iyer’s love for music was evident from a young age. Growing up in a musically inclined family, she was exposed to classical music traditions that laid the foundation for her illustrious career. Her training in Hindustani classical music equipped her with the technical prowess and emotive depth required for playback singing. This strong classical base became the backbone of her ability to explore various genres, from Bollywood melodies to regional folk songs.

Her initial days in the industry were not without challenges. Breaking into Bollywood required not just talent but also perseverance, and Mahalakshmi had plenty of both. She began her career by lending her voice to jingles and small projects, gradually making her way to the big stage. Her dedication to her craft soon caught the attention of leading music composers.

Breakthrough Songs and Bollywood Success

Mahalakshmi Iyer’s breakthrough came with the soulful track “Kabhi Shaam Dhale” from the movie Sur: The Melody of Life. Her ability to emote through her voice left listeners mesmerized, and she quickly became a favorite among music directors. Another milestone in her career was the iconic song “Chupke Se” from the movie Saathiya, composed by the legendary A.R. Rahman. The song showcased her ability to bring subtlety and emotion to a composition, making it an unforgettable classic.

Her association with A.R. Rahman didn’t end there. She was one of the vocalists for the globally acclaimed song “Jai Ho” from Slumdog Millionaire, which won an Academy Award. This collaboration catapulted her to international fame and highlighted her ability to adapt to different musical styles.

Apart from these hits, Mahalakshmi has been part of numerous Bollywood chartbusters, including “Bol Na Halke Halke” from Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and “Aaj Ki Raat” from Don. Her repertoire reflects a balance between soft romantic melodies and high-energy tracks, proving her versatility.

Contributions to Regional Music

While Bollywood brought her fame, Mahalakshmi Iyer’s contributions to regional music are equally noteworthy. She has sung in Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Assamese, and Kannada, among other languages. Her Tamil tracks, such as “Vaaji Vaaji” from Sivaji: The Boss, are celebrated for their energy and vibrancy. In Bengali music, her songs showcase her ability to adapt to the lyrical nuances of the language.

What sets Mahalakshmi apart is her ability to infuse each song with the essence of the region it represents. Whether it’s a Tamil kuthu track or a Marathi lavani number, her voice seamlessly blends with the cultural ethos of the music.

Collaborations with Legendary Composers

Mahalakshmi Iyer has had the privilege of working with some of the greatest music directors in the industry. Her collaborations with Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have produced memorable tracks like “Pretty Woman” from Kal Ho Naa Ho and “Mitwa” from Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. These songs not only became chartbusters but also solidified her reputation as a versatile singer.

Her work with other legends like Ismail Darbar, Jatin-Lalit, and Anu Malik further enriched her discography. Each collaboration brought out a new dimension of her talent, making her an indispensable part of the Indian music scene.

The Unique Quality of Her Voice

Mahalakshmi Iyer’s voice is often described as soulful and soothing, with a unique ability to convey deep emotions. Whether it’s a romantic ballad or a devotional number, her voice resonates with authenticity. Her diction and command over multiple languages add another layer of brilliance to her singing.

What makes her voice stand out is its versatility. In an industry where many singers are often typecast into specific genres, Mahalakshmi has successfully broken the mold. Her ability to effortlessly switch between classical, contemporary, and regional styles showcases her adaptability and dedication to her craft.

Conclusion

Mahalakshmi Iyer contribution to Indian music is unparalleled. Her ability to blend technical mastery with emotional depth has made her a favorite among composers and audiences alike. Over the years, she has not only delivered unforgettable performances but has also inspired countless aspiring singers. Her journey from a young girl with a dream to a celebrated playback singer is a testament to her hard work, resilience, and love for music.

I Spent 30 Days Studying the Indo-Iranian Language Family and Discovered...

First up, we have the Indo-Aryan languages. If you’ve ever traveled through India or even just watched a Bollywood movie, you’ve likely encountered these languages. They’re the largest and most widely spoken group within the Indo-Iranian family, and their story is one of migration, cultural expansion, and trade. Now, let’s talk about the Prakrit languages. These are the Middle Indo-Aryan languages that flourished in ancient and medieval India. Among them, Pali holds a special place, particularly for those interested in Buddhism. It’s the language of the Buddhist scriptures, and its simplicity and clarity have made it an essential part of spiritual study. Imagine monks in ancient monasteries, reciting texts in Pali, preserving wisdom that would transcend generations. Fast forward to today, and we have a plethora of modern Indo-Aryan languages. Hindi, for instance, is spoken by millions across India. It’s not just a language; it’s a cultural phenomenon. With its many dialects, including Hindustani, which serves as the basis for both Hindi and Urdu, it’s a vibrant expression of the diverse Indian identity. And speaking of Urdu, it’s fascinating how it shares roots with Hindi yet takes on a unique flavor with its Perso-Arabic script and influences from Persian and Arabic. It’s a beautiful example of how languages can evolve and adapt, reflecting the cultural exchanges that have taken place over centuries. Then there’s Bengali, the melodic language of Bangladesh and West Bengal, and Punjabi, with its rich traditions and scripts like Gurmukhi and Shahmukhi. Each language tells its own story, enriched by the history and culture of its speakers. Marathi, Gujarati, Odia, Assamese, and even Sinhala in Sri Lanka—all of these languages contribute to the vibrant linguistic mosaic of South Asia. But what’s truly remarkable is how these languages have absorbed influences from other linguistic families, such as Dravidian languages, Persian, Arabic, and even English. Think about it: when you speak Hindi, you might sprinkle in a few English words, or you might hear Arabic phrases in Urdu poetry. This blending makes languages dynamic and alive, constantly evolving with the people who speak them. Take Persian, for example. It’s not just a language; it’s a cultural bridge. Persian has historically influenced Indo-Aryan languages, especially Urdu, through what we call the Persianate culture. Imagine the poets and scholars of the past, crafting verses that would inspire generations, leaving a lasting imprint on the languages spoken today. Pashto, predominantly spoken in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Balochi, found in the Balochistan region, are also part of this fascinating family. Dari, closely related to Persian, serves as one of Afghanistan’s official languages. Each of these languages carries the weight of history, culture, and identity, showcasing the rich tapestry of the Iranian linguistic heritage. Now, you might be wondering about the influence of Indo-Iranian languages beyond South Asia. Southeast Asia, while not as prominently influenced, has still felt the touch of these languages. Think about the historical trade routes that connected India with places like Thailand and Cambodia. Languages like Thai and Khmer have borrowed vocabulary from Sanskrit and Pali, particularly in religious and literary contexts. It’s a testament to how interconnected our world has always been, even long before the internet! And let’s not forget the Malay and Javanese languages in Malaysia and Indonesia. They, too, have absorbed Sanskrit terms due to the profound cultural influence of ancient Indian civilizations. It’s like a linguistic echo of a time when trade and cultural exchange flourished, leaving behind a legacy that still resonates today.
