Baahubali 2 - my review

I watched baahubali 2 recently. The movie is the conclusion part of baahubali – the beginning. The artists’ selection is really good. They have really dedicated themselves to the characters. I was stunned to watch the stunts and the action sequences. I would like to share the story of this film with all. So here’s the story.
The story features upon Amarendra Baahubali’s life. After defeating the kalakeyas, Amarendra is declared as the new king of the mahishmati and his brother as the commander in chief. Before the coronation, queen mother sivagami asks baahubali and kattappa to take a tour of the kingdom to know about the people and their needs. As they take a tour, baahubali sees the princess of kundalas, Devasena. He instantly falls in love with her. When bhallala deva [Baahubali’s brother] learns about this, he hatches a plot to drive wedge between Amarendra and Sivagami by asking for devasena’s hand in marriage. Sivagami, unaware of Amarendra’s is in love with Devasena, promises Bhallala deva for the marriage.
The queen mother sends a word about the marriage proposal to Devasena. But Devasena harshly rejected the proposal which made Sivagami furious. She ordered Devasena to be brought to mahishmati as a captive. A dacoit like army attacks the kingdom. Amarendra, with the help of Devasena’s cousin kumara varma, defeats them and reveals who he is. He brings Devasena to mahishmati as his future bride.
After this there is a twist when Amarendra has to choose either the throne or Devasena. He chooses Devasena and he becomes the commander-in-chief of mahishmati. Bhallal Deva is crowned as the king. But Amarendra was the king in people’s hearts.
At Devasena's baby shower, Bhalla Deva relieves Amarendra of his duties as Commander-in-chief so that Amarendra can be with his wife. Devasena immediately speaks out against the King's manipulation and the mute inaction of Sivagami. Due to further clashes, Devasena and Amarendra are banished from the Palace. Amarendra and Devasena live happily among the people. Bhallaladeva hatches a plot to convince Sivagami that Amarendra is trying to assassinate him. Sivagami, convinced that Bhallaladeva's life is under threat and open action would result in factions and civil war, orders Kattappa to assassinate Amarendra. Kattappa, bound by his word to serve the Queen, lures Amarendra by feigning he is in trouble, and then stabs him in the back and kills him.
Kattappa then informs the queen about bhallal deva’s treachery. The king ordered to kill the queen mother and Amarendra’s baby. The queen somehow saves the baby and she dies. Devasena is held as a captive for 25 years.
After learning about his past, mahendra baahubali [Baahubali’s son] declares a war with the evil king. At the end, bhallal deva is burned alive and mahendra baahubali is crowned as the king of mahishmati.

There are humorous scenes when baahubali is in disguise at the palace of kundalas. The music mesmerizes everyone who listens to it. I have only seen graphics in animated movies, but I never thought that the graphics used in this film will be really great. They were lively and majestic. I didn’t realize that it was graphics until I saw the note that they gave. This is the best graphical film ever released in India.

Dude - Review

TL;DR - A Rare mainstream surprise with its heart in the right place. To begin with, I didn't expect any movie to make it to my blog this year, especially Dude. I was skeptical even while booking the tickets, and the pessimism only grew when a couple of close friends said they didn’t like it. For context: I didn’t enjoy Love Today , and Dragon was just okay. But if skepticism can ever lead to a pleasant surprise, Dude definitely proves it. I usually look for one out of two things from a film - a compelling narrative or solid entertainment. I don’t comment much on Tamil films because Tamil cinema, at least from what I have sampled, often misses both and at its worst, treats the female lead as an interchangeable prop, contributing no real agency to the story. It has been a long while since a mainstream entertainer offered a female character with intention, dimension, and presence. Dude does, and that alone deserves acknowledgement. PR struck like a typical Gen-Z actor in his first...

My experience with Murakami - 1

Before we begin, I am in no way qualified to review this book. However, I might not be able to move on with life if I don't give this the closure it deserves. I thought my first encounter with Murakami would be through Norwegian Wood. Like everybody else. It could've been through Kafka on the shore too, I saw that book on my dad's desk for almost three months. But no. Maybe this book landed at the right time. Or there is no right time. Sometimes you find the book, and in most cases, it is the book that finds you. With the wind-up bird chronicle, it definitely has to be the second one for me.  The Wind-up bird chronicle - Haruki Murakami I love it when narratives are non-linear. Life, as I've lived it in the last 20 years, or for most of the part that I can remember has not been linear. I've seen people around me leading a linear life.  School->College->job/grad school/get married -> become an adult -> have kids -> realise at 40 you are your parent a...

Afterthoughts - YellowFace

 It took me a while to finish this book. Longer than I'd like to admit. Partly because engineering can get exhausting; sometimes all you want to do is sit still and stare into the void. And also because this book allows you to take breaks. Yellowface - by Rebecca F. Kuang Unlike many books that demand emotional stamina, this one pauses. Not every book offers to halt its flavour for your comfort. There are books that get you emotionally invested, and books that slowly get you in the zone. We've all binge-read books, if not series, simply because it lured you into an all-consuming world. Yellowface isn't a lot of things, and it certainly is not bait. It probably isn't something you would find everyone mentioning, and it doesn't leave you with characters to love. But it reminds you, in all gory detail, about the parts of you that'd have inevitably surfaced at times. Every century has had its patron cause. The 19th and early 20th centuries were about women's suf...
