MOVIE REVIEW- YATRA




Yatra (2019)
Starring: Mamooty, Jagapathy Babu 
Director: Mahi V. Raghav

Yatra is the biopic of one of the most renowned politicians from Andhra Pradesh, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy. The movie mainly covers the incidents and events that happened before, during and after his popular "Padayatra" which made him a trustworthy figure of hope among the people of Andhra. YSR believed that the only way to win the election and the trust of people was by meeting them listening to their problems and by taking part in their sufferings. With a strong ruling government such as TDP, YSR's biggest and only strategy to beat them or to give them a tough battle was the 900-mile walking tour. The movie also shows how YSR was a strong-willed politician and never gave in to the pressures from the High Command. Mamooty has done an impeccable job as YSR and this is his 4th Telugu movie. The film ends with emotional footage showing the fatal helicopter crash that killed YSR and 4 men who accompanied him.

THE CASTLE OF HOPE AND FAITH!

THE CHARIOT OF OUR ANGELS!   After so many phases of colour transformations, finally, our bus has become yellow....Yellow????.sigh........ Anyway, I've seen blue with penguins but not this.  Sometimes I hate our buses for chasing us away with our books and lunch boxes during the casual turns...so much remodelling..so many cras.....ssshhhesss... oopsie!!! I didn't mean to say that...Well..now it's a vibrant bucket of bolts...good!                  THE GRAND GATEWAY!   It's hard for me to not keep thinking about our old watchman. Sharp at 8:45 these huge pair of gates would be closed.There would be a little door too...for other people to enter..and the notice board that you see right there always captivated us during monsoons....we'd wait for some holiday notes to be written so we could run back home. Emails or Phones or WhatsApp didn't exist then. Though these gates did scare us a few times...it very well taugh...

MOVIE REVIEW-BRIGHT STAR

Bright Star (2011) Director: Jane Campion Starring: Ben Whishaw, Abbie Cornish. This movie is a biopic of John Keats, the world-famous poet who gave us the most wonderful lines, "The thing of beauty is a joy forever". Keats did have an easy life. He struggled to make both ends meet. Poems, for him apart from an art of expression, were also tools to earn his bread. He wrote the most beautiful poems which were appreciated as well as criticised during his time. Keats fell in love with a woman called Fanny Browne, a French woman who in turn loved the poet and his poems deeply. Keats wanted to provide her with a good life and hence focused on earning more and finding new opportunities. Unfortunately, he did not last long but his poems did. Keats died at a very young age in Rome miles away from the woman he loved, leaving her devastated, with just his poems, sonnets and words to comfort her. A beautiful poetic movie. உலகின் புகழபெற்ற கவிஞர்களுள் ஒருவரான ஜான் கீட்ஸ் அவர்களின...
