The final thirty minutes of Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY are among his greatest. It reframes the entire film, providing so much nuanced emotional depth. The last time I sobbed that hard in a Nolan film was INTERSTELLAR.
Sri Dushyanth gave an important speech in the presence of HH Kanchi Acharya on the 3 steps for Hindu unity:
1. Respect all Sampradayic Acharyas, don't fight over philosophical differences on SM
2. Respect all forms of the Divine and refrain from Devata Ninda
3. Stand with fellow Hindus against the abuse of any deity, regardless of whether you personally worship that form.

But the actual story is Hemang Badani and his innings. Inch perfect ODI accumulation innings that served the team it should have. He hit just 2 boundaries and a 6 but has great strikerate for the time and situation. Constant runs on the board. No wait first and blast
We are not a political organisation, but naturally we have a manifesto, and we think global not local:
1. All 12 Test teams must play each other in 3 match series in the World Test Championship over a 4 year period, home and away.
2. Minimum boundary lengths of 70 metres should be enforced in all international cricket.
3. Women's Test cricket should be significantly expanded and played over 5 days.
4. Coalitions of nations should be owed to play together e.g. the Nordics, as the WI already do.
5. The ICC should provide funding to those nations seeking associate membership.
6. Profits from T20 cricket need to be better redistributed to enable players to play Test correct with high wages.
7. Bowlers should be allowed one leg-side delivery an over in short form cricket.
8. The number of teams in the T20/ODI World Cups should be further expanded.
9. 'Bad light stopped play' should be abolished unless the ball literally cannot be seen.
10. The 'spirit of cricket' should be regarded as a drink, not a moral mantra.
OBSESSION is how we SHOOT and CUT and not WHAT
OBSESSION made on a budget lesser than maybe the cost of a film stars entourage , will hopefully dismantle our complacency..
Forgetting the reported 750 k dollar budget , a film shot entirely in just 2 rooms, interior of a car and a small store with 5 new actors couldn’t have costed more than 70 lakh rupees (Forgetting fee of various) . On that cost , it grossed over $238 million dollars that is Rs 2,279 crores ..It reportedly will do more than 100 cr in india
Curry Barker ‘s direction seems deceptively simplistic , but it is highly weaponized. He shoots in confined spaces not to avoid scale but to trap the audience in the characters’ perspectives. Editing is not mere assembly but a rhythmic psychological assault .. rapid cuts punctuated by sharp sound design (door slams, sudden laughs, heartbeats, voice tone alterations) alternate with agonizingly long holds , most memorably the interval shot lingering on Nikki’s face(My most favourite shot)
These never before experienced techniques built an unbearable tension by denying escape, forcing us viewers to feel the horror rather than observe it from afar.
OBSESSION externalizes internal rot making the personal public and the psychological visceral.
Its gore and emotional messiness turns pulp into something disturbingly resonant about loneliness and desire
IMPORTANT lessons to be learnt from OBSESSION for any and all related to films In our times of franchise fatigue and VFX bloat is that it proves that only rigorous directorial vision to arrest the viewer , cutting edge editing as a storytelling tool, and sound design for emotional punctuation and expressions of actors making one feel can generate much more impact than CGI ARMIES, MASSIVE SETS ,EXOTIC LOCATIONS and 500 CRORE budgets
Barker taught us , that we film makers should OBSESS over how we shoot and cut, and not just WHAT we shoot?
After the example of Obsession Producers and directors should treat low budgets as liberation, not limitation and focus their resources on performances, path breaking editing, and creative sound design , not to forget visionary makers
The ROI here will seem obscene and vulgar to the producers who wasted 100’s of crores and shot their films for years
OBSESSION is a wake up call in teaching us that cinema’s power lies in psychological precision and emotional rawness, and not industrial excess. For our industry OBSESSED with risk aversion chasing stars, making remakes and bloated spectacles, this film is a SLAP ON THE FACE
The greatest thing Curry Barker did more than making a BLOCKBUSTER , is that he taught us that our OBSESSION should be about making BETTER FILMS and not BIGGER FILMS🙏🙏🙏
@ravindraraj11 One of my most favorite films. High school time. ఇలాంటి వేౄయణు కరోనా టైమ్ లో వాళ్ళ బిజినెస్ ను ఎలా గట్టెక్కించాడు? లేదా ఏఐ ఏజ్ లో ఈ మనిషి ఎలా మెసిలాడు? మంచి సీక్వెల్ కాన్సెప్ట్
I often wonder if these black actors and actresses ever stop to wonder why they're being terribly miscast. Even with a fat payday, I wonder if it bothers them that they are being brought on not for their talent, but because a studio needed to fill a racial quota and push a political agenda....
