Saw #PS2. The historical review follows. Qualitywise movie is watchable, (not a #Bahubali), totally @AishwaryaRaiWeb movie & not at all of the titular #PonniyinSelvan @jeyamravi3 . U kp waiting but his moment nvr arrives. Rather it looks like @chiyanvikram movie (1&2) all alng.
Script sticks to the narrative as in #Kalki novel without 1ce trying 2 course correct 4 historical accuracy anywhr. Hence ,inherits the same biases, inaccuracies of the novel alongwith a bit of overdramatisation. Hence it nvr bcmes the biopic of #RajaRajaChola some wud hv expctd
Letz start with characters. #Cholas are shown in full glory as a fledgling kingdom about to be an empire succeeding the #Pallavas for hegemony over South & surviving the #Rashtrakutas while fending of spirited challenge of #Pandyas down South. My Tamil frnds tell me that the..

- Best way to tell whether a movie will do well or bomb at the box office?
- Get it reviewed by 'journalist' and film reviewer Anna Vetticad.
- She's an amazing record of giving high ratings to films that bomb at the box office! 😂

BTW, this 'journalist' who has issue with stereotype of Kshatriyas shown as rulers in #Bahubali but applauds villain being shown as a Brahmin in #Shamshera, takes offence when a lady of supposedly lose character in a movie (as per her) is named as Veronica! 
- And it does not end here. She even has issue with 'reformed' Veronica praying to Hindu god/goddess!
- Funny bit here is that movie does not say that Veronica is a Christian but madam has taken offense at a mere name.
- Any wonder her 'reviews' are so jaundiced and Hinduphobic?

A linga surrounded by 108 miniature lingas! Carved on rock on the banks of the Tungabhadra. Those who haven't been to #Hampi have missed the finest Indian heritage site of all. #Karnatakatrail.
#Karnatakatrail: One of the finest heritage sites of the state at Kanaganahalli, near Sannati, #Yadgir. Excavated stupa comparable to Sanchi. Remains frm Mauryan-Late Satavahana period, frm 3rd cen BCE. Grt set of carved columns, cant be photographed though. Under restoration.
#Karnatakatrail: The excavation of the Adhaloka Mahachaitya, over 2 decades, has thrown up over 200 Brahmi inscriptions, depictions of Ashoka & of several Satavahana monarchs, stories frm the Jatakas, of the Buddha and more. Remains show a sculpted circle similar to Sanchi.
One of the highlights of my recent trip to Hyderabad was being able to watch #Goodachari with subs. Cracking spy yarn even if a tad too long. Thank you @crhemanth
There’s a real ‘new wave’ happening in Telugu cinema. On one end is the mighty #Bahubali which has changed the size of the Big Indian Film. On the other, are the smaller, more personal voices we are hearing more of.
And that can be seen in the rom coms. Starting with #PelliChoopulu , then #ArjunReddy, and now #GeethaGovindam. There’s freshness and sass and a contemporary youthful vibe, all riding on the raffish draw of #VijayDeverakonda
#Nifty 10700 PE sellers for current expiry have been the STRONGEST Option sellers in recent months. #BAHUBALI group. (Strongest not in terms of Size but in terms of resilience and protecting the support levels) @entrepreneur987 @JainSumeetS
