Some Thoughts just as a Lover of CINEMA!!
No theatres for an Low budget Indie film #Salliyargal
Censor delay causing postponement of a Big budget Big Star like Vijay Sir's film #JanaNayagan slated to release tomorrow...
Bookings are yet to open in many centres due to issue of certificate for other Big budget film #Parasakthi slated to release day after tomorrow...
Tough times for Cinema!!
Theatres need to be more supportive for indie low budget films ... Coz Big Satellite & OTT players are not so keen to buy indie films leaving Theatres as only source for revenue for Low budget films.... Not giving theatres for low budget films literally means Killing Cinema !!
For Big budget films... The strict timeline rules for Censors (India & Overseas ) is really hard to follow and puts lot of pressure on Filmmakers creative space during Post Production especially when ur doing a Big budget film with release date already announced... With current timeline rules for both Indian and overseas censors , the ideal time for a film to be fully completed is 3 months before release date... Which is Highly impossible for many reasons...This has to be streamlined and shud be made bit easy for Filmmakers... Both from the board the producers and the Stars... Otherwise postponement of Big films on festivals dates will eventually Kill Industry!!
Please let's all together in Film fraternity keep aside the Fan wars, Political reasoning , Personal agendas, Hate Campaigns & join together to do something optimistic to Save the ART ... Save Cinema 🙏🏻🙏🏻
IT’s THALAIVARRRRRR DAYYY and I cannot keep calm 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Haaaaaapppyyyyy ரஜினி day to all of you!!!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Still pinching myself over having witnessed him in person like this 😭🧿
Viv Richards. Sachin Tendulkar. AB de Villiers. Virat Kohli. Rohit Sharma. The absolute cream of ODI batting royalty.
Among them, Rohit continues to reinvent his batting. He now has 349 ODI sixes, 2 short Afridi’s all time record of 351. But what makes Rohit’s six hitting legacy generational is not just volume, but efficiency. He hits 1.3 sixes per/innings, the best ratio in ODI history among players with 100+ sixes. Better than Gayle, Afridi, AB, Dhoni, Buttler, Maxwell, Pollard. Rohit stands above all of them. His greatness is that he makes six hitting artistic. Imperious pulls & hooks, silken lofted cover drives, lazy elegance turning into brutal power, dancing down to spinners over long off & long on. Run making with him is cinema. Fluid in attack & solid in defence. Floats like a butterfly (paaka azhaga irukum) & stings like a bee (aana opponent gaali).
With his 73, 121* & POTS vs Aus, Ro's added yet another feather to his cap. Just look at his monstrous ODI feats.
- Most ODI hundreds vs Aus: 9 in just 49 inn
- Most ODI hundreds in Aus by an Indian: 6
- Best average by an Indian in Aussie soil: 57
- Most hundreds in ODI World Cups: 7
- Highest Individual ODI Score: 264
- Most ODI Double tons: 3 (no one else even has two)
It's the ginormous stats coupled with regal batsmanship that makes him a class apart. Yday’s ton was only the 2nd time in 5 years he batted 100+ balls in an ODI. In that reign when he was Ind captain, he reengineered his game, batting with high intent from ball 1, foregoing his natural game. That he did it for the team is great, but I'm more in awe of his ability to do that, which makes him a modern day batting genius.
In ODIs: 11370 runs at 49.22, SR 92.66, 33 100s. Phenomenal. It gets even more insane if you filter out his stats since his time as an opener from CT 2013: 9305 runs at 56.73, SR 96.62, 31 100s. GOAT territory.
To put things in perspective, in the same period, in his absolute apex predator era, the T-Rex of ODIs, Virat Kohli, has 10201 runs at 61.82 with 38 100s. +5 in average due to the chasemeister's superior ability to finish chases & remain not out, but Rohit matches him blow for blow in volume of runs & strike rate & actually surpasses him in six hitting dominance & daddy hundreds. In an age defined by Kohli, Rohit has often matched him, even outdone him in the last decade. That's his greatness.
And boy, where has all the belly fat gone? He's looking leaner, meaner & stronger than we’ve seen him in years. I’ll be invested in ODIs till Rohit's time, just to see how much further he can go. India needs him at the 2027 WC. There are ~20-25 ODIs left & I hope he signs off in glory at 40 with a WC win. That'd be a poetic end to an otherworldly ODI career of a legend.
@dstock_insights Video taken just 2 days back !! only a few meters from the pediatric common ward. Restrooms & dustbins look like they’ve never been cleaned. Not even 2 months since inauguration. Anyone can construct, but maintenance & hygiene matter most. Tambaram GH HQ needs urgent attention..
Rohit continuing from exactly where he left in the 2023 ODI WC. 76-ball 100, Intent Monster, attacking from ball 1. Superb stuff. His best format easily! 11K runs at ~50, 32 100s, 92 SR ain't a joke. Among the top 5 greatest ODI batters & the 2nd greatest ODI opener of all time.
Some songs have the ability to take us back in time. When I hear some 90s songs, in my mind I immediately go to that time of my life and reminisce about fun times I had back then. To relive those moments is a beautiful feeling.
