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.

 முன்னாள் ஆந்திரா முதல்வர் Y.S. ராஜசேகர ரெட்டி அவர்களின் வாழ்க்கையின் ஒரு முக்கிய அத்தியாயத்தை கதையம்சமாக கொண்டு எடுக்கப்பட்ட திரைப்படம்தான் "யாத்ரா" . மம்மூட்டியின் 4வது தெலுங்கு திரைப்படம் இது. 2004 ஆம் ஆண்டு நடைபெற்ற சட்டமன்ற தேர்தலில் வெற்றி பெற்று ஆந்திராவின் 14வது முதல்வராக பதவியேற்றார் YSR. ஆனால் அந்த வெற்றி அவருக்கு சுலபமாக கிடைத்திடவில்லை . பலம் பொருந்திய ஆளுங்கட்சியாக இருந்த தெலுங்கு தேசம் கட்சியை எதிர்த்து காங்கிரஸ் சார்பாக களம் இறங்கினார் YSR. அந்த தேர்தலின் வெற்றிக்கு பின்னால் இருந்த மிகப்பெரிய காரணம் அவர் மேற்கொண்ட "பாதயாத்திரை" . மக்களின் குறைகளை அவர்கள் இருக்குமிடம் சென்று கேட்டறிந்தால் மட்டுமே நல்லாட்சியை வழங்க முடியும், அரசியலில் நிலைக்க முடியும் , அவர்களின் நம்பிக்கையை பெற முடியும் என்பதை உணர்கிறார் YSR. 300 மைல் நடைப்பயணத்தை தொடங்கி , மக்களை சந்தித்து , பல தேர்தல் வாக்குறுதிகளை வழங்குகிறார். இந்த யுக்தி அவருக்கு வெற்றியை ஈட்டி தருகிறது. மக்களிடம் உறுதியளித்ததை போல பல திட்டங்களை நிறைவேற்றவும் செய்கிறார். மம்மூட்டியின் நடிப்பு அருமை. படத்தின் இறுதியில் அவரின் எதிர்பாராத இறப்பை பதிவு செய்யும் நெஞ்சை உலுக்கும் காட்சிகளும் இடம்பெற்றிருக்கின்றன.

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...

MAESTRO'S MARVELS

Da Vinci - The multi-faceted polymath who has been the greatest inspiration for people for aeons. The admirable quality that I found in this Genius is the fearlessness that enabled him to explore and gain expertise in various areas exhaustively. He created the intellectual freedom for everyone to feel empowered to create a society of free thinkers, express without inhibitions and feel confident about choosing the mode of expression in a non-judgmental way.  "I am not good at this thing" is a statement I hear every now and then from my students in class. Some of them would say this spontaneously even without trying out that particular engagement. I had to really push them to give it a go, provide them examples of similar work, share my experiences or give them the comfort to practice by practising along with them. Leonardo never seemed to have this midblock and was very open to being experimental with his thoughts. Sometimes I had even taken the maestro's paintings, r...

DARK AND PUNY

           This is the story of a girl who had the same kind of life as mine except that she is "big" and I am "small". An inferiority complex is a very dangerous and irrevocable impression that can be created by parents on their children. There are certain inconsiderate opinions and treatments that affect those children and become their lifelong baggage to be carried.  Skin colour, facial features, and size are the factors involved. To rub salt in the wound, there are abrasive reminders every single day about the disappointments of the child.          There is no about the maternal and paternal love but how deep is it in comparison to the other things that they are fond of or if there is another kid born with all their expectations gratified, then the former one becomes the tester cake or the sidekick. We've all been on that boat when sibling rivalry takes its toll on our emotions.      ...
