The Covenant - review

I watched this film called 'The Covenant' a few days back. It is a really good choice if you want to take your time off with some thrilling graphics. The movie was released in the year 2006, and I'm specifically mentioning this because there are several movies that were released with the same title.

The story revolves around four warlocks who were born with supernatural powers. They attend school like normal kids, as their powers aren't actually fully activated. On their 18th birthday, they ascend, attaining full powers. But as they use the powers more and more, they get addicted to it, and it is seductive.It takes their life bit by bit,until there's nothing left. The four warlocks seem to have a normal life, when a fifth one claims to have arisen from a bloodline that was supposed to have ended centuries ago. He wants to take revenge, and the warlocks must prevent him from hurting anyone. The cost is too high; it may even demand their life.  And the rest of the story goes on how they tackle him.

The film is pretty spiffing. If you like supernatural drama and a little graphical thriller, you will surely like the film. It is available on Amazon Prime Video. So what are you waiting for? Plan a movie night!

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...

Recap 2025

    2025 was a year of trials, tribulations and triumphs. A mixtape of emotions. A year where either conditional probability did not apply to my life or there were more variables in play. It was a year of shedding: both light and deadweight. The year quietly announced itself towards the end of 2024, when I had a wonderful exploration of the Ripon Building and its surroundings. It quietly set the tone for the new year – wandering, observing and letting curiosity take the lead. The first two months were mildly eventful. I was selected to be the head of Registration Committee for Vibrance. I enjoyed the hustle – the checklist, the controlled chaos and the celebrations. I was simultaneously handling my submission for the semi-finals of the Google Girls’ Hackathon, and I’m grateful to my committee and my parents for being supportive. I had an instrumental phase, and I remember blasting the Imperial March in the middle of the night while working. It turned out to be much better ...

The beauty of antithesis

It is human to crave order Inhuman to resist the antithesis. One steadies the room The other wakes your doom It is all around us, omnipresent. Dare I say, nay, I declare. In nature, in physics In perfect relationships In the blank space of art Or the black text in a white part Youth teaches you to embrace it Experience forces enjoyment Conservatives, resistance. Yet Immortal, its existence.
