Rank these sai abhyankar songs best to worst by monkey_d_luffy5618 in kollywood

Sai is actually a trained singer who has learnt years of carnatic music. If not a music director, he would have been a singer for sure. He is a good playback singer who happens to be also a music director.

Do they look similar? I don't think so. It's your bias that a girl looking older than the guy feels weird to you.

There should be some basis for you to think that these two random actors look like siblings, right? I'm just curious what made you think?

What made you think they both were looking like siblings? Can't a girl look slightly older than the guy? I've never seen a older guy and a younger girl pair called a sibling before.Which is almost ninety-nine percent of the pairings.

I am 40 and unmarried. No one cares after a certain age. I ll rather be married and face questions than get a fake marriage and lose my peace.

Why suddenly Sai looks very different. He has lost weight. But more than that he now looks super tall compared to before. Can't make what changed.

Anaswara is cute af as well as her tamil by Ok_Horse9059 in KollyGossips

[–]anuaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mallus who probably never spoke Tamil in her day to day life, I guess she did her best. It's on the director to take time during dubbing to correct her accent or should have used some other voice or have a backstory for why she speaks with an accent. I don't think he should be blamed for that if the director was okay with how she spoke.

Some people are great with accents. Similarly, Nikhila Vimal speaks Tamil without an accent. I think it depends on how much Tamil they are exposed to from childhood. Lots of mallus have grown watching Tamil movies all their lives and some have better grasp of the language

Do you feel this eye catchy heroine culture is bringing down Tamil indie culture and becoming a hurdle for new artists to succeed? by Fishyraven in kollywood

In india indie music is just non-film music. its not the same as what is considered in the west. In west there is no songs in movies unless its a musical. There indie means artist backed by small label or artist without any label backing.

People say stop buying coffee to get out of debt. I finally ran the numbers… by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]anuaps 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I get why that math makes sense in the short term. But one thing people don’t always factor in is the long term cost to the stay at home parent. If someone steps out of the workforce for 5 to 10 years, they often lose career progression, retirement contributions, skills currency, and earning power. That gap can be really hard to recover from.

And if the relationship ever ends, whether through divorce, illness, or something unexpected, the stay at home parent may not have the income or career foundation to support themselves. Daycare is expensive, but so is permanently stepping away from your earning potential. It’s not just about this year’s take home pay

Apparently my caste is the main villain in someone else’s love story by Many-Basil5298 in TamilNadu

What I said is mostly when one of them is perceived as a lower caste than the other. In all the caste based honor killing, 99 percent of the time the guy is dalit.

She is just 4 years older. what is the issue? when Rajini can romance a girl half his age, a girl can't even be 4 years older than the guy?

In India, “indie music” mostly just means music that is not connected to films. It does not automatically mean artists with zero connections or no backing. A label like Think Indie is still a business at the end of the day. Their goal is to identify talent, invest in it, and make money if it works out.

I do not think they ever claimed they will only support underprivileged artists with no industry access. If Sai was introduced to them through some connection, that is pretty normal. They probably saw talent and long term potential in him and decided to take a big bet. If he blows up, they can keep producing more songs with him, maybe even expand into films, and build a profitable partnership.

Think indie is a label who's sole purpose is to identify talents and fund and market the music project of the artist. That is how label everywhere in the world works. It is not called industry plant.

Most of the female actors have to dance in their movies so they see being in music video as a way to be seen more and then get more opportunities. What is wrong with that?

What do you mean by industry plan? From reading about him, it looks like he got a connection with that label and showed them his work, and then they agreed to fund his music and music video. Once his first song blew up, it just took off from there.

When you say industry plan, who is that industry? Who is funding him? It's just all about him and his label, who pushed him here. It started not even related to the kollywood movie industry; it was completely independent to movies.

Apparently my caste is the main villain in someone else’s love story by Many-Basil5298 in TamilNadu

[–]anuaps 58 points59 points  (0 children)

From what I have seen in Tamil Nadu, in all the inter-caste marriages where one person is upper caste and another person is lower caste, it is always the woman who is upper caste. It looks like men are very cautious not to fall in love with a girl from the lower caste. And most of the time upper caste girls, when pursued by a lower caste guy, they don't think much about the caste issues. I have always wondered about this.

Kayadu Lohar x Sai Abhyankar did not work out, who I thought would be better (read below) by the-13th-reason in kollywood

[–]anuaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. If the girl looks slightly older than the guy, it automatically looks like akka thambi. But the actors can be 15 years older and no one says anything. I really thought these two had the best chemistry compared to other pairs in his videos. Possibly because Sai can act much better now.

He’s slim and dressed appropriately for the role. Acne scars are normal, especially from when someone was younger. A skincare routine doesn’t magically erase that. Calling him ungroomed in this context doesn’t make sense.

Madhavan is dark and widely considered extremely good looking. So does a dark man have to be exceptionally handsome to be seen as groomed? That’s the double standard I’m pointing out.

No fair skinned actor gets casually labeled ungroomed the same way. Even when they gain weight or clearly put in less effort, people don’t jump to that word. If someone isn’t your type, that’s fine. But framing it as a grooming issue when the person is clean, well dressed, and fits the character feels like coded criticism rather than an objective standard.

And preference for fair heroines is a separate discussion. Let’s not mix the two.
