Abhay, the Hindi-dubbed version of #Aalavandhan, feels like one of those films that arrived before its audience had quite caught up with its imagination. Devesh Sharma writes about the film as it completes 25 years since its release.

Thanks to all who wished me well on my 67 years of cinema.
Out of those 67, I think I can only salvage about 20 years as my actual learning. The rest was going with the flow of the wastewater.
The uplifting hope is, however dark the waterway turns out to be, the wait for a confluence with the largest singular form called the collective cinema, an unchannelled sea. We are all flowing towards it - artists, audience, and all.
So I guess what I have salvaged as experience can be improved upon before people stop counting my years in this field and start looking for better numbers elsewhere.
Since the Lumière brothers’ first public film screening in December 1895, the film industry has been around for approximately 130 years and 8 months. My team reminded me that I have been around for 67 of those years, more than half of the entire history of the film industry! That is a rather extraordinary thought to take in. Yet, in my own account, I can claim only about 20 years as actual learning.
I am probably the oldest of the Gen Z in cinema. 😊🙏

ஈகை எனும் அருங்குணத்தால் தமிழ் மக்கள் மனங்களில் நீங்காத இடம் பிடித்த என் அன்பிற்கினிய நண்பர், கேப்டன் விஜயகாந்த் அவர்களின் நினைவு தினம் இன்று. அவருடனான நட்புத் தருணங்கள் நினைவிலாடுகின்றன.
“உம்மைப் பற்றிப் பேசாத நாளில்லை” எனும் பல முறை கேட்ட தேய்வழக்கு, என் வாழ்வில் திரு. பாலச்சந்தர் அவர்களுக்கும் அவரது தோழர் திரு. நாகேஷ் அவர்களுக்கும் பொருந்தும். இன்று கேபி சாரின் நினைவு தினம். இந்நாளும் விதிவிலக்கல்ல.
“இந்த இயக்குனர் உனக்கு எனக்குப்பின் நீ படிக்க நல்ல இடம்” என்று எனக்கு ஒரு சிகரத்தை அடையாளம் காட்டிய அவ்வை சண்முகம் ஆசானையும் இன்று நன்றியோடு நினைத்து வணங்குகிறேன்.

Some artists entertain, some enlighten, some provoke. #Sreenivasan did it all, with a smile that carried truth and a laugh that carried responsibility. My respects to a remarkable mind. Deepest condolences to his family and admirers.
So nice of you, Anupam ji, to reflect our meeting with such warmth. Your work reflects a lifelong commitment to world cinema and fearless exploration. A conversation I will also cherish.
Was delighted to meet one of the FINEST actors of Indian Cinema #KamalHassan ji at the Delhi Airport! Have been an admirer of his craft and varied performances for years. Have learnt so much from him as an actor. His list of great performances is countless! We sat in the airport lounge for almost an hour. In that one hour it seemed we spoke about a lifetime! So many topics- world cinema, #KBalachander sir, life lessons, favourite books and of course the great #RajniKanth sir! It was a RICH conversation! Thank you sir for your wisdom, warmth and appreciation! Love, respect and prayers always! 🙏❤️ @ikamalhaasan #Actors #Airport
