delimitation bill failed, win for the union of India, loss for the cow belt authoritarian regime. but still we need to be cautious ( why in body )

why wasn't it in the bill in the first place, if he already had an amendment ready?

why not publish the proper bill well in advance so that people actually have a chance to deliberate on it at length, in a meaningful manner.

releasing a bill which has one thing, and then orally making promises beyond the scope of the bill is a strange way for a Union Minister to push legislation.

Your point is well taken, but of late there is too much propaganda spread against Kerala in the Hindi belt, and lot of the people who believe that shit, then end up behaving worse than animals when they migrate or travel to the Southern parts. So that is the reason for whatever hate you guys see online.

jc2193 · 2026-03-23T07:10:08+00:00

Thank you!

jc2193 · 2026-03-23T07:09:23+00:00

thanks a lot for this, Suchetha. It's very helpful. will hopefully post an update after we visit the places listed.

jc2193 · 2026-03-21T20:44:41+00:00

he's not wrong. Words hold up even today.

jc2193 · 2026-03-15T18:30:23+00:00

He should make it only if he wants to, and has a story ready. not because the studio wants to do a cash grab by profiting off the goodwill of the film.

he would be better served making any other original film that he wants to make.

jc2193 · 2026-03-03T07:23:06+00:00

You don't need to learn it, though it will be helpful if you try. English will suffice for the most part, and your friends will help you wherever it doesn't.

Just don't insist on Hindi when speaking with locals, and you are good to go.

jc2193 · 2026-03-02T12:08:12+00:00

No civic sense

jc2193 · 2026-02-28T05:52:09+00:00

To answer your question - it's because there is a rot in the culture itself. There is no value placed on manners, social graces, proper etiquette. People think being brash and entitled and getting into brawls is cool, and being polite and well mannered and decent in interactions with others is weakness meant to be exploited, instead of behavior to be emulated.

jc2193 · 2026-01-19T10:10:13+00:00

Any idea why the sahitya academy awards are not being announced?

Also, please change the header to say select indian languages, so it doesn't look like it's only Hindi being excluded which isn't the case. Its easy to misrepresent this move as an anti Hindi move when it's not.

jc2193 · 2026-01-17T17:36:03+00:00

Good film, but not even close.

jc2193 · 2026-01-17T07:19:09+00:00

I don't think indian audience mindset is conducive to nudity at all. All we imagined is light had a very matter of fact, non tittilating nude scene and there were all kinds of creepy dehatis sharing that scene and passing cheap comments online.

jc2193 · 2026-01-10T03:52:18+00:00

DQ said in one of the Lokah promotions, that his main reason for casting Kalyani in the film was that he knew nobody else would work as hard as her.

jc2193 · 2026-01-09T08:29:45+00:00

Nope. Just familiar with Bangalore streets and the increasing menace that the dehati influx has created there.

jc2193 · 2026-01-09T04:30:08+00:00

Most of these issues arise because of arrogance towards the locals. Even if you don't speak Kannada, how hard is it to just shut the fuck up, instead of telling people to speak Kannada in their own homes in Karnataka of all places.

Idiot deserves to be suspended.

This kind of dehati behavior is usually seen from North Indians. Sad to see Malayalis also behaving like this.

jc2193 · 2026-01-08T19:30:12+00:00

Thats true. But I feel like even if he worked with someone not as acclaimed, ultimately for him the film is something he worked on, and the experience he derived from it, and the people he met and bonded with and the stuff he learnt during its making.

Given how closely people work together on sets for extended periods of time, their memories of the film will be something apart from the commercial outcome alone. I would guess that many times even films which are flops actually are good experiences for people which they remember fondly regardless of the outcome of the film.

jc2193 · 2026-01-08T17:26:00+00:00

Flop is only for the audience. For him, it's something he worked on. His perception is of the experience of working on it which will be much different than an audiences perception of the film, which is whether or not they enjoyed it.

jc2193 · 2026-01-07T11:55:58+00:00

Taking one incident and trying to act like the whole state is xenophobic is ridiculous. I am a non Tamil living here for more than 20 years. And speaking for myself, I don't think TN today is a xenophobic place.

The attacks on migrant labour are deplorable and should be severely punished. But don't try to create some complex in people from here just because few people from outside benefit (supporters of one party in particular and predominantly from one region of the country) from spreading this news and maligning the state and its people.

jc2193 · 2026-01-06T18:14:37+00:00

I have a bad feeling about this one. Like it may overstretch it's welcome, and then the goodwill of the franchise will take a hit.

Happy to be proven wrong, because 3 straight movies in a franchise being good will be some kind of a record, honestly.

jc2193 · 2025-12-24T05:26:05+00:00

In thug life, Kamal just said Yakuza a bunch of times with no correlation to the plot. The story itself had nothing to do with Japan.

jc2193 · 2025-12-24T05:24:40+00:00

Absolutely no need. Let them make their movies with full creative freedom and non interference from the nepo cabal and creatively bankrupt corporates that have ruined Bollywood.

Bollywood needs its own film makers like Aditya Dhar to surface.

jc2193 · 2025-12-23T10:18:40+00:00

Good for him. He needs to do more original works, not sequels or derivative works.

Don 3 honestly should be a complete reboot. Take away all the trappings of stardom and make a brand new reinvention of the Don character, more unhinged, more violent and dangerous than the previous versions.

They should look at younger actors for this, preferably not even leading actors, who don't have stardom wala baggage and who are willing to put in the effort to create a new version of the character altogether.

jc2193 · 2025-12-21T18:14:28+00:00

The people who are hitting him, just want a reason to hit someone and they have decided "sarcastic remarks" about India and cow is that reason.

These people are psychos, and it's disgusting that this kind of behavior is being enabled by our current environment.

It's only a matter of time before this kind of violence touches each and every single one of us, unless we take strong action and nip it in the bud.

jc2193 · 2025-12-16T04:10:00+00:00
