Do you know why they call me Ponniyin Selvan?
Two of my dreams came true today, first watching a Mani Ratnam film on big screen and second witnessing Kalki's epic come alive. Ratnam always talked about how he wanted to make this in the mirror of novel and still want everyone to see what Ponniyin Selvan means to him through cinema. The mermaid sequence and magical realism done right. The kurosawa fanboy in me and Ratnam both can rest easy…
french people will romance and fuck in a dirty mud pool instead of going to therapy
"Maine Kya kiya? Mujhe kyu maara?
Maana ki main apne maashuk se baat kar raha tha, main
nahi dekh paaya, main khoya hua tha.
Lekin aap bhi to apne maashuk se baat kar rahe the na?
Aap ne mujhe kaise dekh liya?"
The best thing about this movie is that it never made it to be a drama, it always treated itself like a tragedy and gave the epic historical love saga it's deserved respect.
First part is okay-ish, but…
no one:
every reviewer: cut from the same cloth as knives out, knives out style family, like knives out
shut the fuck up. knives out wasn't the first film with dysfunctional family as a background for whodunnit!
