I understand your point. For close friends and long-time relationships, a personal invite does carry a different warmth and value that a WhatsApp message cannot fully replace.
At the same time, this practice became quite common after COVID. Many people now use WhatsApp invitations due to time, distance, and practical constraints rather than a lack of respect. The intention is often to include people, not exclude them.
Ultimately, an invitation—whether in person or on WhatsApp—shouldn't create pressure. People should feel comfortable attending if they can, or politely declining if they can't. Respect should go both ways.
#29 is a genuine feel-good film that quietly wins your heart. What stood out most was how real the emotions felt—almost as if parts of the story were drawn from someone's personal experience of love and longing.
The conversations between the leads, the metaphors used by the hero to express his feelings, and the poetic touches throughout the film often felt like a cool breeze passing through a scene rather than dialogues written for effect. The emotions land naturally.
Oddly, I couldn't stop comparing it to Tere Ishk Mein. Perhaps because both explore love, pain, and identity. But for me, #29 handles these themes more convincingly. The hero's identity crisis feels authentic, and his transformation into an achiever feels earned and believable. In comparison, I found the character transformation in Tere Ishk Mein less convincing emotionally, whereas #29 made me fully invest in the protagonist's journey and growth.
A major strength of the film is Preethi Asrani. Her screen presence is beautiful, her lip-sync is convincing, and her emotional delivery perfectly suits the tone of the story. She never feels like just a love interest; she feels like a living, breathing character.
The dialogues deserve special mention. They're neither too short nor overly verbose—they arrive exactly when needed and say exactly what the moment demands.
Most of all, the film captures a feeling many love stories miss: the yearning between lovers. The waiting. The longing. The silent fear of leaving someone alone with that longing. One particular scene where the hero cannot bear the thought of his lover being left alone in that emotional wait genuinely hits the heart.
What impressed me most is that these emotions never feel manufactured. It feels as though director Rathna Kumar didn't merely write about love—he expressed the film with love, and perhaps from a place of being deeply in love with the emotions he was portraying. The tenderness, longing, and vulnerability in several scenes feel too honest to be merely observed; they feel lived and understood.
A simple, heartfelt film that understands love beyond romance.
@MrRathna Bro, please make more films like #29.
I felt I could understand a part of you through this film. The emotions felt so personal and honest that it was as if the creator was quietly present in every scene.
The experience was mutual—you made us feel the characters, and through them, we could feel the person behind the storytelling too. ❤️
@SriramMadras Let's keep things in perspective. Tamil Nadu has seen far worse power-cut eras in the past. This was a night-time outage, not a statewide blackout. Criticize where necessary, but don't exaggerate isolated incidents into a system-wide failure.
@Dhananjayang Feedback matters. If a shot was truly inappropriate, concerns could have been raised during production or editing. When objections appear only after public outrage, people naturally question whether the issue is the shot itself or the backlash it received.
The strongest people aren't always the ones demanding attention. Often, they're the ones quietly learning, building, and improving every day—while others are busy seeking applause. 🔥

@itisprashanth That's likely why it got deleted. The scene feels rushed—no buildup, no context, just straight to the incident. It doesn't feel natural, and screenplay-wise it simply doesn't work.
Bro, family planning and infertility are two different things.
Especially in India, when a couple faces infertility, the woman is often blamed first, even though male infertility is equally possible.
Many women face emotional stress, social stigma, family pressure, and in some cases even separation or divorce because of it.
Population decline is a demographic discussion. Infertility is a medical and social issue that affects real people, and the burden unfairly falls on women far too often.
This will take time, bro. Action against corrupt officials is necessary, but people are equally responsible too.
Many offer bribes to escape penalties, bypass rules, skip queues, or get faster service.
Corruption survives because both the giver and receiver keep the cycle going. Changing that mindset may take years, even decades, but it has to start somewhere.
A true friend is not someone who agrees with everything we say. A true friend is someone who has the courage to point out our mistakes, guide us when we go wrong, and help us become a better person.
The words of such a friend may sometimes be difficult to hear, but they come from a place of care, not harm. Friendship that only praises us is pleasant; friendship that helps us grow is priceless.
💙 Choose friends who value your growth more than your comfort.

@rameshlaus Even the most developed countries don't have 100% uninterrupted power 365 days a year. The goal should be fewer outages, faster restoration, and stronger infrastructure—not chasing an impossible zero-outage target.
@I_Raj13 DMK and power cuts have been synonymous for years. That's why many people still remember the load-shedding era whenever electricity issues come up. One outage today becomes breaking news, but years of power cuts somehow get forgotten. 🙂
@sekartweets Hope this isn't just another headline. Let the investigation be completed properly, and if the allegations are proved, let the law take its course.
If the story is "entirely misleading," then on what basis are you already talking about arresting people? 🤔
Either there is credible evidence that needs investigation, or there isn't. Calling it misleading and simultaneously demanding arrests sounds contradictory. Let the facts and evidence decide the conclusion, not assumptions.
People have seen nepotism, dynasty politics, corruption, and unchecked wealth accumulation for decades. They didn't vote for change because these things are normal—they voted because they want them challenged.
Whether Vijay succeeds or not is a separate question. But accepting these problems as "just the way things are" is exactly why they keep growing. Change begins when people stop normalizing them.
@naziafarheen15 That's some next-level political fiction. 😄
At this rate, you should try screenwriting or directing. You've already written the story, cast the characters, decided the climax, and released the sequel before the first movie even hit theatres. 🎬🍿
Easy to say, difficult to implement.
A new party needs both fresh faces and experienced hands. The real question isn't where they came from, but whether they work for the people and follow TVK's vision.
Ironically, the same people who once criticized TVK as "inexperienced" are now saying it shouldn't accept experienced politicians.
