The numbers will say 30 centuries.

But they won’t say how he batted like a gladiator at Perth, or captained like a lion at Lord’s.

Indian Test Cricket saw it’s golden period under Virat Kohli

My love for #Interstellar always grows for every re-watch and today after finally watching it in IMAX, there was an unexplainable satisfaction and bliss 🥹

[Aditya Shubhanayan @shubhanayan]

Not to forget the contribution of Washi Sundar with a gritty 50 without whom this wouldn’t have been possible.

Came in at no 8 when the team is in a bad position with huge deficit. Shown great temperament and put the team in a fighting position. Has been the best batter throughout the series and finally got a well deserved century in his debut and in harshest conditions. Take a bow man 🫡

Rohit is as complacent as Virat was intent during his tenure.

[Ash @Ashesquee]

There used to be a guy who thought even SENA series loss is not allowed for his team

[Aditya Shubhanayan @shubhanayan]

The way Virat revolutionised the team in Tests is legendary! The greatest test captain we’ve ever had. Period.

[Raj @hxns1anda]

It was good till it lasted. Thanks for the memories, captain Kohli.

The writing, screenplay, acting, music, setups and payoffs, and of course every little thing mentioned here makes Saripodhaa Sanivaaram a great watch!! Always loved Vivek Athreya’s work and this one the most!!

Posting some thoughts on the smaller moments in SARIPODHAA SANIVAARAM. As I already said, I enjoyed the hell out of the film. Will be a long post and obviously, will contain LOTS OF SPOILERS. Read only if you have seen the film.

*****

- FLOW and THOUGHT. These are the two qualities I loved the most about the. The screenplay flows like a river, with zero distractions and detours in the name of conventional entertainment. And there's so much thought behind every little moment that works. That, to me, stands for storytelling by an utmost secure filmmaker.

- We often see filmmakers resorting to easy highs, and we cannot blame them because filmmaking is a laborious process with little to no certainty on results. Naturally, they feel tempted to plant some ideas that yield easy results. But this one resists that temptation to a large extent. Yes, there are a couple of them like that in here too. The EEGA reference, for instance, saw the entire theatre enjoy, but I would call it a safe choice. Sure, it's done tastefully—with a level of grace and simplicity that we rarely see, but I could see the writer giving what the audience wanted. The beauty in this little moment, though, is how writing and direction come together. When Charulatha says, "Nuvve Nani," this lovely moment is accentuated on a staging level with a young girl running into the frame holding red balloons in the background. For a few seconds, there's some playful energy in the frame, capturing the elation that Surya is experiencing in that moment. We might not notice this, but it adds to the mood and joy the scene wants to capture. Choices like these subconsciously influence us. Not saying this is a ground-breaking technique but there's clearly thought behind it. There's no way this moment just happened—it's definitely choreographed. I'm 96.42% sure. This is a simple example of direction complementing writing. There are many instances like these.

- This is a film that puts in a lot of thought into the tiniest actions of the central characters. Charulatha offering water to the man being tortured in the prison cell, citing it reminds her of the domestic abuse her mother had to endure, is another beautiful choice. Her act of serving a glass of water could have easily been passed off as a simple act of kindness. We wouldn't have questioned. But the writing makes it a point to make her intent clear. That's once again is testament to thoughtful writing.

- The way Sai Kumar's character compares the fear of Surya's aunt to the fear of Sukalapalem's people and how he connects fear and courage while defining true anger... and the image of the mother on the beach looking back at Surya... him finally finding closure... beautifully done. And how cool that the "Narakasur" dialogue is passed onto the child at the end? Also, does she lose her voice after the injury? If you have any idea, add on...

- Adding on about the flow of the film, I enjoyed how each and every scene is connected so organically. Films are a collection of scenes and screenplay is basically the roadmap connecting each scene. The story will progress nonetheless if one scene is placed after the other in chronological order but there's so much thought behind connecting even connecting simple scenes in this film. It's a mix of writing and Karthika Srinivas' editing. For example, there's a moment where Sivaji Raja reveals that he hurt his toe and he says that he views it as a small punishment for one of his ill deeds he might have committed in his day-to-day life. This moment about Karma and consequences serves as a prologue to the first interaction between Surya and Daya in the hospital. Likewise, Koormanand questioning Daya about his purpose of visiting the pub right during the assassination attempt begins on a funny note but as the scene extends, the same question gives answers to Daya. The way the screenplay flows from one point to another is just brilliant.

- On a similar note, I also liked how the film establishes Surya visiting Narayana Prabha's funeral after seeing its posters on a road. And as he visits Narayana Prabha's house and greets his grandson, this simple moment puts an end to the subplot. One whole track is given a closure in just a couple of seconds!

- It's all about the small things in this film. The brother-sister bond too is underlined through a small bit when Surya is having food with his dad and he asks, "Enti nee kuthuru malli Bangalore?" While the dad doesn't instantly understand the question, Surya points out that his phone is ringing and as soon as he answers, the sister tells on that she is leaving to Bangalore. He already knows. I didn't get the whole context right but it's clearly suggesting that Surya is keeping a check on her. "Don't pay the peons and staff while she is not at school," the dad tells Surya in the same scene. I mean, how does the writing pack in so many things, man? Just how!

- And I'm only talking about the smaller bits. Haven't even touched the bigger scenes like the pub sequence or the interval stretch or the lead-up towards the attack on the house, or even the police station scene. The more I think about it, the more I like it. It's a rarity.

- You may like or dislike the movie. You are entitled to your opinion. You may not like it as much as I do, but nobody can negate the fact that this is high-effort writing and filmmaking. I love films that we can dig, discuss and debate.

- At times when commercial cinema has become a hallow, loud spectacle with little to no thought, I'm happy that we have a Saripodhaa Sanivaaram which, despite your liking or disliking, remains a film that offers plenty to discuss.

@sai_ronit @KalyanAditya139 @SankalpGora Agreed but Bhaga Bhaga song and BGM definitely gave me Kayyala Chindhata vibes! 🔥
