No one understood a composer's vision faster, and no one poured more focus into a song than SPB. Celebrating the life, friendship, and the unmatched achievement of 50,000 songs. Happy Birthday, SPB.

Gods have been appearing in human form in our movies for a long time. Earlier, with films like Yamudiki Mogudu (1988, Telugu) and Yamaleela (1994, Telugu), Lord Yama and Chitragupta appeared in present-day India and added to the comedy quotient.
There have also been movies where God appears in human form to guide the protagonist. Like OMG – Oh My God! (2012, Hindi; based on the Gujarati stage-play Kanji Virudh Kanji, which itself was inspired by the Australian film The Man Who Sued God), Oh My KadavuLe (2020, Tamil), Vinodhaya Sitham (2021, Tamil), and Laalo: Krishna Sada Sahaayate (Gujarati, 2025).
But what connects Mookuthi Amman (Tamil, 2020), Kantara (Kannada, 2022), and Karuppu (Tamil, 2026) is... spoiler alert... is that they have Gods appearing in human form to vanquish evil doers. These films have an evolved version of the 'angry young man' trope. That trope, pioneered by Salim-Javed, through Amitabh Bachchan, in the 1980s, was born from a broken social contract that involved unemployment, a rigged system, and a state that didn't deliver. The solution was a vigilante human hero who fought the system from within (but outside the law).
The new 'Gods in human form' trope extends that basic idea. Now, the evil is so all-pervasive that mere human vigilantes are not enough. They need actual Gods to descend on Earth and deliver a form of pre-modern justice that feels immediate, visible, and incorruptible! Justice against other authority figures at that - corrupt Godmen in Mookuthi Amman, the vengeful and evil local chief in Kantara, and the corrupt legal system in Karuppu!
This also feels like a culturally 'safe' form of anti-establishment storytelling. In an era where governments (central and state) are increasingly intolerant of satirical or critical narratives, filmmakers appear to have found an elegant loophole. When God delivers the verdict on corrupt institutions, nobody can call it seditious.
I fully expect more leading stars in all Indian languages to play assorted Gods out to deliver cosmic justice, given how these early movies have fared so far.

DON’T FORGET THIS DAY. 🇮🇳

When India was losing hope, Sanju stood for India single handedly. 🇮🇳
That 97* against West Indies in the World Cup wasn’t just a knock it was pure composure under chaos. While wickets kept falling and the pressure kept rising, Sanju never looked rushed for a single moment. Not one reckless shot. Not one panic reaction. Every boundary had timing, every placement had purpose, every decision had maturity.
He absorbed the pressure of a billion expectations and still batted with a calmness that great players are remembered for. Ravi Shastri himself praised his “calmness, composure and sublime touch,” saying even with wickets falling around him, Sanju never lost his cool.
India were chasing 196 in a virtual knockout and the innings became the highest successful chase by India in T20 World Cup history. Sanju remained unbeaten on 97 off just 50 balls, carrying the innings till the very end and finishing the game himself.
Some innings are loud.
This one was elegant, fearless and responsible at the same time.
An innings built on class, patience and complete control. ❤️

🚨 SANJI SAMSON ON TOP 4 QUALIFICATION CHANCES 🚨
Sanju Samson Said 🗣️:
“We still have two matches left, and both of them are almost do-or-die for us. If we want to qualify for the top four, we have to win both matches. The most positive thing right now is that our qualification chances are still in our own hands. If we win these two games, we can qualify. As a team, we believe that we can do it, and we’ll do everything possible to make our supporters proud.”
