@Ganeshen5 Bro - please. Enough. Prakash has too much of negativity around him now . Activist in him has taken over the actor. It's quite evident. I hope he has been ditched
@ravikeerthi22 ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನದ ಆಡಳಿತ ಮುಜಾರಾಯಿಯದ್ದೇ ಆದ್ರು ಪೂಜೆಯ ಹಕ್ಕು ವಿದ್ಯಾದಾಸರಿಗೆ. ಅವರ ಮನೆಯವರು 120 ವರ್ಷಗಳಿಂದ ರಾಮನಾಡಿ ಪದ್ಧತಿಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಕೈಂಕರ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ನಡೆಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಬಂದಿರುವುದು. ಸಿಕ್ಕ ಸಿಕ್ಕ ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನಗಳನ್ನು ಮುಜರಾಯಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಕ್ರಮಗಳೇ ಸರಿ ಇಲ್ಲ ಅಷ್ಟೇ
@WeDravidians Heartening to see, most of the people couldn't even understand what you are trying to imply. If this is the avg brahmin life in TN. We must be proud
@Ganeshen5 They have wrong notions about success and what takes them to success. If Sing geetham had come in any other language , it would have been something else. Look how Telugu industry itself did nothing for Singeetham. No lobbying for Padma awards / Phalke. Nothing.
@pnamblat For all the excellent points he make, I don't find Prasanna himself as someone who explored Carnatic form in full seriousness. Constant disdain of tone in which these guys talk when their own efforts are no where near to a sadhaka, feels bit rich. Yes. Good conversation.
@LoyalYashFan Swathi Muttina Male Haniye- Subject had so much potential. Despite its unhurried pace, there was nothing subtle. Poetic indulgence was jarring and artificial. At times very preachy. Subject of Pain, Grief, death begs more detailing and depth.
I felt it was half cooked
I woke up to the news that Singeetham Srinivasa Rao had died, I had mixed feelings: the sadness that a beloved filmmaker had passed, and also the happiness that he died "as a filmmaker".
Singeetham Srinivasa Rao died in the best way a director can die. He made a movie, a joyful and quirky and inventive movie -- and then he died. Not many directors get to die this way. By the time they hit their 90s, most directors are well past their best work, well past even working. They are recalling their glory days or they lie forgotten.
But not Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, who I first met in 2011. I said I was a big fan. He smiled and said mischievously, “That’s because you haven’t seen my bad movies.” He was marvellously aware that some films will work, some films won't, and you just have to strap on your boots and keep marching on.
We met again in 2014, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of his first Tamil film, ‘Dikkatra Parvathi’, based on Rajaji’s story. (This was the first time in the Indian film industry that a film was procured by a state – though MGR wasn’t exactly looking at it as a work of art. He had in mind other, more practical uses – as a propaganda film to further the cause of prohibition.)
And we met before the release of 'Sing Geetham'. I could see that he was frail. Nag Ashwin was by his side, like a son helping a father.
If there's a lesson to take away from this lovely soul, it's his can-do spirit, the fact that mental age is more important than physical age. Even as he drew his last breaths, I like think he was cracking jokes in his head.
Farewell, sir. Thank you for the memories.
@KshitizCritic May be Namit realised it too late that he has burnt his purse far too early.
Yup agree. Marketing is not just abt selling. People should feel that they are part of the journey
@KA_Talkies It indicates, Kannada audience are more than willing to support decent movies. That's all.. APPU space is a huge void. Sudeep should really think abt it
