पेंगुइन इंडिया @penguinrandom की बदमाशी देखिए सोनिया जी की किताब की पीडीएफ लीक कर दी है। पहले यह छापने से डरते थे अब खेल कर रहे।

यह घोर आपराधिक मामला है। हार्पर कोलिन्स से हमने बात की है मुझे उम्मीद है कि वो कोई विधिक कार्रवाई करेंगे। अब तक दो लाख से ज्यादा प्रतियां बिकी हैं। सोनिया गांधी की किताब ब्लॉकबस्टर साबित हुई है।

देखते जाइए घर घर में यह किताब पढ़ी जाएगी। अगले 6 महीने में यह होकर रहेगा। हमने भविष्य में पेंगुइन की किसी भी किताब को न खरीदने का फैसला किया है उम्मीद है यह आगे भी होगा।

Satej Patil is a prominent Congress MLC, but CJP framed the entire Gokul Dairy update while erasing the party's identity entirely.
​Why the hesitation to credit Congress for beating Mahayuti? Because CJP exist to manipulate perception. Exposed!

Till date I've never been happy with the fact that Dangal made over 2000 cr (thanks to China) which put it above Baahubali: The Conclusion, but with #Ramayana: Part 1 I have finally made my peace with Nitesh Tiwari.

I sincerely hope this movie makes much much more than 2000 crores at the box office.

It's a really proud achievement for an Indian film to be made at this scale and with such finesse.

#RamayanaMovie at interval.

Just one comment thus far.

If you think Ravana is Glorified and Rama is a weak presentation you've to seriously detox yourself from a Dhurandhar category masculine powerful hero (which was superlative in its context)

Rama's strength is contained and collected and concentrated.

Sita has purity and dignity but lacks Lavanya and sweetness. And I didn't know iconoclasm was something Asuras did.

Lots of youngsters have brought their elderly parents. Heartening to see.

Just watched India’s new Epic #Ramayana directed by #NiteshTiwari, finally in its original Hindi version.

And yeah, #RamayanaRiseOfALegend is both anime come to life (if you ever watched #SHURATO, get ready!!!) and a classic EPIC with capital letters, like those magnificent Hollywood gems of the 50s & 60s, with that grandeur, lavishness & sheer scale, made with today’s technology which allowed it to go the extra mile technically impossible to pull off back in the day.

To me, it felt like a full circle. Curiously, it wasn’t India, but Japan which prepared me to enjoy this story as much as I did. As a child, anime #SaintSeiya made me fall in love with Greek mythology, and because of that anime, I was presented with another mythology based anime #SHURATO, which introduced me to the rich Hindu mythology and the fascinating conflicts between the divine people of Deva and the Asuras. Watching this film made me go back to my childhood in a sense.

#Ramayana itself follows the exact same narrative & visual structure of a classic shonen anime, abusing of slow motion, larger than life battles, color, loud, incredible scores, lots of drama, fantastic beings, an underdog which ends up corrupted by manipulative parents to become a badass, overpowered demigod nemesis blinded by rage and thirst for revenge, pitted against a virtuous, righteous hero, which happens to be chosen as an avatar of an ancient God. And as in an anime, both will face several challenges before actually facing each other, because their face off is the end game. And obviously, the virtuous hero has an even more virtuous girl who becomes the plot device which will finally force the eminent future showdown.

So if you love anime, and if you love anime structure, there is no way you won’t be at least entertained by 3h15min of one of the most well realised “anime to live-action adaptation” wannabe.

And if like #Dune, #StarWars, #GameOfThrones, #LordOfTheRings or even #TheOdyssey, so much here shall feel familiar to you. The legend of Prince Rama is so ancient, with all its kingdoms, celestial & hellish worlds, and well defined characters, that basically every western epic, mythology or fantasy has borrowed - or straight up stolen - elements from it. There are iconic scenes of #ChristopherNolan’s #TheOdyssey for instance that you’ll see also here almost shot by shot, only difference being #Ramayana does it more colourfully and with Prince Rama instead of Odysseus.

The visuals are incredible, apart from the CGI giants and monsters which look awful, specially their faces. They really look like late 2000’s videogame creatures, taking you out of the movie everytime they show up, specially when they talk. Which is funny because there are other VFX creatures and sceneries which look insane, such as the vulture #Jatayu. I really couldn’t understand why the giants and orcs-like guys looked so off, while everything else, even in a same scene, looked spotless.

And as I said before, #Ramayana has an anime-series structure, not the traditional Hollywood 3-arc film structure in which things get progressively bigger. Most of the spectacle in the film are concentrated at the beginning, then it gives space for more drama as it progresses. And the way the film ends is literally anime-like cliffhanger for next season/saga, not a typical closure. So for a casual moviegoer, it might feel like the film ends smaller, instead of in a higher note than when it started. Or they might feel like it drags on its 2nd half, which has less epicness / lavishness than the first. It might be an uneven experience for first timers or for who has the Hollywood structure as a dogma.

But to me, #Ramayana felt like a homecoming somehow, in which so many of cultural niche things I love came together like the heroes in the end of #AvengersEndgame. India never left the historical/legend EPIC genre behind, and #Ramayana shows how far we can now go with them.

#Ramayana is already in theatres worldwide.

International cinema takes over the American box office on Thursday, with Japan’s GODZILLA MINUS ZERO recording #1 ($6.7M) and India’s RAMAYANA #2 ($3.5M).

What happens if #Ramayana fails?

Will the actors stop getting projects?

No.

Most of them already have their careers sorted.

Ranbir Kapoor has projects lined up with SLB and Sandeep Reddy Vanga.

Sai Pallavi is already a Mani Ratnam heroine.

Yash has established himself as both an actor and a producer.

The producers will find a way to recover their money, one way or another.

The director will move on to making contemporary films.

None of them will be affected in the long run.

The only thing that will suffer is Indian cinema.

You will be stuck watching actors of your father's or grandfather's age playing s**y heroes, performing gravity-defying, physics-defying stunts, while audiences sit in theatres hooting and cheering as if their lives depend on it.

You will be stuck with songs like Your S**y Beauty in a film that falls under the patriotic genre. Or with heros who refuse to accept that Instagram-style transitions don't necessarily look good on the big screen.

You will be stuck with brain-rot movies.

Look at Bengal. Today, we rarely see films like Pather Panchali, Aparajito, Nayak, Mahanagar, Teen Kanya or Parash Pathar being made.

And it isn't because Bengal lacks talent. It's because people seem to have lost the courage and confidence to make such films.

And if the present government somehow loses power in 2029 (which, in my opinion, seems very unlikely, but then again, there are but and ifs), we might be in for a treat.

We'll probably see films where our neighbouring country is portrayed as our saviour. And start having films made where terrorists are shown as victims.

And you'll see those very accounts that are opposing the opposition today suddenly stand by them and start singing their praises.

Go and watch #RamayanaMovie
Not to save the producer but to save Indian Cinema.
