Comali Review: Very Funny Moments From Yogi Babu and Jayam Ravi Makes This Movie Bearable

In Pradeep Ranganathan’s Comali, Jayam Ravi (character name: Ravi) plays a 90s high schooler who meets with an accident and slips into a coma (geddit?) just as he was about to say “I love you” to the pretty girl he’s been bumping shoulders and catching eyes with, in school. He wakes up 16 years later to discover that the world around him has changed. Gone were the days where the entire neighbourhood would hangout at that one house which had a small TV set. Now everyone owns a tablet, smartphone, flat-screen TV and portable gaming devices… but Radikha Tamil serials are still a thing.
A large portion of the first half is actually really entertaining. We get a brilliant joke about Rajinikanth’s political career and also a witty scene where Yogi Babu (who plays Ravi’s best friend) shows him how love and relationships too, have evolved from the days of Kadhalukku Mariyadhai to the pre-marital sex era of OK Kanmani we live in now. One would guess that this would be a fish out of water comedy where Ravi, with Yogi Babu as his wingman, tries to navigate today’s world, while also poking fun at it. And for a short while, that’s the movie that we get. Yogi Babu and Jayam Ravi have excellent chemistry, bouncing off each other and delivering one chuckle-inducing line after another. It also helps that Yogi Babu doesn’t play an intrusive caricature but an actual character.

But Comali starts to get tonally jarring when a mistake Ravi makes — he kisses the Kajal Agrawal character who’s pouting her lips while taking a selfie, assuming that it’s what she wants — leads us to a serious and melodramatic scene where Ravi’s sister yells at him for bringing shame to the family. It’s such an odd choice for a film that had been trucking along tongue in cheek. And then it morphs into a heist film (or something) about acquiring a family heirloom worth millions from a gangster-politician played by K.S. Ravikumar. None of this, which is a bulk of the movie, has got anything to do with Ravi trying to navigate the fast-moving concrete jungle of the 21st century. It feels like two completely different screenplays slapped together awkwardly.
An over the top cartoonish scene which sees our protagonists jumping around a house in search of a film roll is suddenly and forcefully pierced with a mind-numbing lecture. You see… Ravi yells at his friends and the audience, back in the day people used to go out and play with their friends; These days, people only play video games within the confines of their rooms. Back in the day, families would sit on rooftops and have picnics; These days, people order pizza and sit in front of their TVs. Back in the day, people would leave their work in the office; These days the phones are ringing and buzzing with emails even after working hours. In short: Back in the day, everything was great, these days, everything sucks. Therefore, it isn’t he who was in a coma, it’s all of us. It felt like a jagged knife being jammed into my eardrums. The intent is fine, but I think Pradeep Ranganathan needs to watch a few episodes of Black Mirror to see how it’s done. Tamil cinema desperately needs to stop with its finger-wagging “message” movies.

Comali becomes even worse when it turns into a different message movie, this time on how caste and religion divide people. When the film opened with Ravi’s father telling him how “they have no caste” and “shouldn’t see caste and religion” I smiled (I’m a sucker for these sentiments) but wondered how this was gonna be shoehorned into the narrative. I like the quick exchange between Ravi and Yogi Babu in which he asks something along the lines of, “looks like everything has changed, except this.” It’s smart, true and very funny. I hated the blatant message dispensing at the end, which once again is such a drastic diversion from the lighthearted comedic set up about a man waking up in a different era. Yes, Hiphop Tamizha’s final track is great, but it simply does not belong. All in all, short bursts of fun and funnies from Jayam Ravi and Yogi Babu (barely) saves Comali from being a draggy mess of a movie.
Comali is currently playing in Malaysian cinemas.

Skin Trading, No 1 In The Black Market Trade!

India and Nepal are believed to be the biggest hub for human skin trafficking around the world. Villages like Kabrepalanchowk, Nuwakot, Sindhupalchowk in Nepal have become more like a ‘Body Organ Farm’ for traffickers. Human skin is in great demand. A 100-inch square piece of fair skin is estimated to be priced for RM 2836.09 to RM 56721.72 in Delhi and Mumbai.
Similar to sex slavery, human skin trafficking has been going on for a long time. Plastic surgery is an age-old, but the increasing demand for smooth, white, spotless, perfect, porcelain-like, sparkling skin has driven the growing illegal trade of skin in India.
The cosmetic surgery market is growing in India. The skin is confiscated from the victims in India and Nepal and apparently smuggled to pathology laboratories in India where it is processed and shipped to corporations in the United States that import skin and tissue-derived items for the global plastic surgery market. That’s how the demand for human skin trade is operating.
Source: Sindhubaadh movie
Young girls from poor villages are drawn to skin dealers in vast numbers, looking for a better future. The skin is then secretly trafficked over the border and sold to other nations. The young women are offered a different price based on their skin colour, age, and virginity. A young and fair skin girl is worth millions.
Many people willingly offer some of their skin for a cheap price in order to survive. But then, this money is also exhausted in a few days. The most disturbing truth regarding this trade-in skin is that the skin tissues are always removed from these unfortunate women’s bodies without them being aware of it!
Source: Sindhubaadh movie
Girls in the brothel are sedated for an underlying reason that the customer wishes to pursue wild physical fetishes on them. Instead their skin tissues are ripped away from their backs and limbs as they are tied to a bed during their unconsciousness. Hence, they are forced to sign papers as evidence that they voluntarily donated their skin. Oh, how they were fooled!
Source: Sindhubaadh movie
The women sometimes misinterpret the scars on their faces as the consequence of their client’s sexual behaviour. Unbeknown to them, they have just been stripped off their skin for the illegal skin market.
Upon noticeable disfigurement, their worth declines in the flesh business and they have to serve clients for a small price per session, while their more ‘beautiful’ colleagues earn better per session.
Despite this, domestic and foreign legislation remains in force seeking to clamp down on human trade. Nevertheless, extreme poverty is the ultimate cause of trafficking. The fight against poverty must be first and foremost dealt with in order to rid off the human trafficking trade. However, this remains a far cry away.
Inhumane torture on these vulnerable women is evil! So the rich could have the privilege to boast fake implants? As the Christian proverb goes:“For what profits a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul” is a manifestation of those who cause harm towards another for the purpose of satisfying their own gullible desires.

Women’s Equality; She Has A Right To Be Heard

Heading towards 2023, is the world fair and safe for everyone, especially for WOMEN? We know the answer to it!
A standing ovation for Malaysia for coming in at rank #111 in the world for promoting gender equality. This is an obvious case that discrimination against women persists today.
Image credit: TheGuardian
Even though it has been 65 years since we gained our freedom, little is being done to ensure gender equality across categories including education, employment, health, politics, and economic.
Women; includes LGBTIQ+ are victims of compounded forms of discrimination.
Despite much progress made in securing women’s rights, millions of women continue to experience discrimination and violence around the world, being denied their rights to equality, dignity and autonomy, and even a life.
There has been progress over the last decades; more girls are going to school, fewer are forced into early marriage, more women are in politics and positions of leadership, and laws are being reformed to advance gender equality. – United Nation
With 15.7 million (48%) women in Malaysia today, only fewer women get to win by having a safe space and earning their deserved privilege.
Women around the world are less likely than men to have access to basic and higher higher education, have fewer chances for economic involvement, face greater threats to their health and safety, and have lower political representation.
Image credit: Wilson Centre
No access to education
Although the world is making progress achieving gender parity in education, girls still make up a higher percentage of out-of-school children than boys. One quarter of all girls in the developing world does not make it to school.
Some families rely on girls’ labor for household chores which leave them limited time for schooling. Nobody ever thinks that prioritising education may solve most of the matters revolve in life.
Unaware about health and safety
Women are more susceptible to incurable diseases due to fewer opportunities for health education, unequal power in intimate partnership, or as a result of gender-based violence.
Lack of maternal health makes women have limited access to prenatal and infant care, and they are more likely to experience complications during pregnancy and childbirth. It is a critical concern for women who marry and have children before they are ready (below age 18).
No economic and political empowerment
Women comprise more than 50% of the world’s population but barely own 1% of the world’s wealth. Throughout the world, women work long hours of unpaid domestic work. In certain places, women still lack the right to own land or to inherit property, earn income, or move up in their workplace free from job discrimination.
Women are notably underrepresented as decision-makers at all levels, both at home and in public life. Having women outnumbered 4 to 1 in legislatures around the world hinders their efforts to advance gender equality and true democracy.
Image credit: AWAM Malaysia
The recent incidents of violence and discrimination against helpless children in Malaysia are only a few. More girls and women still experience this kind of abuse and discrimination today.
You, women who endured this cruelty, it is about time to see the light of day!
Image credit: WAO
Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO)‘s primary goals are to promote gender equality and women’s human rights.
They advocate for the equal enjoyment by women and girls of all human rights, including free from violence, sexual and reproductive freedom, access to justice, socioeconomic equality, and to participate in political processes.
In order to assure the protection of survivors, WAO prepared the largest shelter, which gave refuge to more than 100 women and children. Likewise, they help survivors access services from various agencies like police, hospitals, welfares, etc, as well as help them navigate the legal system.

Women’s and Children’s Programs provide leisure and skill-building opportunities that aid in the recovery and ascent of survivors. With all amenities offered and taken care of, children can live with freely while also gaining educational skills from the Child Care Centre.
WOA, offers job opportunities for women to engage in exciting and meaningful work environment that will positively impact their lives. With their vast network of partners across civil society, government, and the private sector, there are so much opportunities for exposure.

Thaana Serndha Kootam Review: A Unique Tone With A Messy Plot

This review contains light spoilers.
I miss Suriya. I really do. I know, I know, he hasn’t been missing and consistently stars in one or two movies every year. But I miss the Suriya who actually used to act. There was a time in the early 2000s where Suriya wasn’t just one of the best actors in India, but the world. Under the guidance of directors Bala and Gautham Menon, Suriya performed in some of the more riveting Indian films of the time.
I consider his big four to be Nandha, Mounam Pesiyadhe, Kaakha Kaakha, and Pithamagan. And I would also throw in Mani Ratnam’s Ayitha Ezhuthu and A.R. Murugadoss’ Ghajini into the mix. But that version of Suriya is no more, replaced with a version of Suriya whose broad acting range has been reduced to two defaults: “Charming smile” and “angry screams.”

In Vignesh Shivan’s Thaana Serndha Kootam, Suriya is once again the sometimes smiling, sometimes screaming (though, thankfully not as loud and frequent as seen in the Singam franchise) mass hero, except this time in colourful 80s make up. Which brings us to the first issue I have with this film. Why is it set in the 80s?
Usually, when a movie is set in a particular time period that isn’t the present, there is a purpose. Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman is set in the 1910s because it is the origin story of a character who is more than a hundred years old, whose first major accomplishment is putting an end to World War I. Apparently, Thaana Serndha Kootam is set in the 80s because Vignesh Shivan’s wanted to have song sequences where his characters donned funky colours. I guess this is more of an observation than an issue or criticism. After all, the 80s setting doesn’t detract from the detract; It just does nothing for it.
Thaana Serndha Kootam starts off in an interesting fashion, with Iniyan (Suriya) accompanying his friend who’s at a job interview at a police station. The police officer says that in order to be appointed, they need to pay a large sum of money. Iniyan quips before slapping the police officer and then…
KICKASS OPENING SONG!!
Once again, this is composer Anirudh at his very best (when is he not at his best?). I would be surprised if Sodakku isn’t the best Indian dance anthem of 2018. This is a great song with a decent dance sequence, that would have been much better had it been Vijay or Dhanush grooving instead of Suriya, which is once again more of a random thought than actual criticism.

Unlike his friend, Iniyan aspires to be a CBI officer. But he too fails the interview because of the corrupt system. And that is what Thaana Serndha Koottam is about — the corrupt system, the money hungry assholes that run it and how it ruins the lives of honest, capable folk.
Iniyan assembles a ragtag crew of colourful personalities who have been screwed over by the system and begin raiding the corrupt, posing as CBI officers. This is revealed in a twist of sorts — and boy, are there twists and turns at every corner here. Initially, the tone throws you off. Where did Ramya Krishnan come from? Why is she suddenly a CBI officer too? And why on earth is she overacting, riding the fine line between serious and comedic? Only after the first raid, which is a gut-busting, laugh out loud sequence is it revealed that these are a bunch of jokers posing as CBI officers. Immediately the movie becomes that much more interesting.
Vignesh Shivan has a distinct style and for that, he deserves applaud. Stylistically, Thaana Serndha Kootam isn’t like any mass-masala we have seen before. We got a glimpse of this unique style in his directorial debut, Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, but here, it is on full display. Vignesh Shivan establishes a comedic bounce at the start of the film and never lets go of it. The funnies are there throughout, even in the most serious of scenes. The characters always seem to be winking at the camera as if to say, “Hey! We know we’re in a movie, so let’s just play around.”
It’s an interesting concept for sure, which many people are going to love. And while I do enjoy watching movies like Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor: Ragnarok for taking this approach as well, these types of movies just don’t stick with me. I prefer movies to be earnest, where characters don’t behave like they know they’re in a movie. I want the worlds that are set up in each film to feel real. I want there to be a sense of danger and be emotionally moved by it. This movie will not move you emotionally, at all.

Even so, there are moments of brilliance to be found here. Quite often, this movie plays like a deconstruction of your typical Indian masala. In one scene, Iniyan comes home and tells his dad about his job interview. Iniyan says he gets the job, but the dad knows he’s lying. Iniyan and his dad get into an argument. The dad goes into the bedroom. Minutes go by and the dad doesn’t come out. An air of tension starts to fill the frame. Iniyan starts banging on the door. No response. He calls out to his dad. No response. F**k! We know where this is heading. We know what has happened. The music swells….. and the dad opens the door. Wait, what? “Can’t you even let me use the toilet in peace?… Why would I commit suicide if you didn’t get a job?” AMAZING.
Related:  Vetrimaaran Came Up With "Vaadivaasal" Update And Something Exciting Is BrewingThe problem is, the movie doesn’t commit. It wants to be different, but it also wants to be the same. The tone is messy at times and that is bothersome. If you want to make an all-out ridiculous (in a smart way) deconstruction of a masala flick then go all out. Don’t laugh at the suicide cliche in Tamil movies and then go on to include an actual suicide scene immediately after.
Vignesh Sivan’s treatment of the female characters is commendable. Ramya Krishnan has a prominent role in this movie that requires her to actually perform. Here she has two personalities (no, she’s not Anniyan). When she’s at home, she’s a loving mom with so many kids, even she can’t remember all their names. When she’s part of Iniyan’s crew, she’s a badass named Janshi Rani, a character like Sivagami in Baahubali except with a comedic twang.

There is also a great exchange somewhere at the start of the movie between Iniyan’s friend and his wife. When Iniyan’s friend comes home from the job interview, he sees his wife talking to a man. He asks her, “How can you let another man into our house and talk to him when you’re married?” To which she replies something along the lines of “Stop being self-righteous. You’re someone who can’t land a job and can’t put food on the table for your family. Once you do that, you can school me. You’re a suspicious fool, but it’s because of you I had to borrow money from that man.”
There’s also a line where Suriya’s Iniyan says he has fallen in love with Keerthy Suresh’s Madhu because of her wits and courage. She also doesn’t let him toy with her feelings in an alpha-male fashion. The whole notion of “women should chase men” that was once mentioned in Rajnikanth’s Baasha is flipped on its head. Here gender doesn’t matter. Both can do the wooing. I do find it baffling that Vignesh Shivan didn’t include Keethy Suresh as part of the ragtag crew. She isn’t as bad a character as say Tamannah in every single movie that isn’t named Baahubali, but a simple fix could have made her much more prominent.
We’re later introduced to Karthik’s character, Kurinji Vendhan. He’s the badass higher ranking officer the CBI calls when they’re unable to catch the CBI imposters. His introduction is interesting. We see him as a relentless cop, who will shoot you, regardless of who you are, if you’re a bad person. His methods may be unhinged, but he’s a good man. Except in the last act of the movie, he becomes an asshole. Then he becomes a good man again. Karthik’s performance is excellent, but his character is all over the place.
In fact, the story as a whole feels all over the place. It’s as if Vignesh Shivan had all these ideas to set up the movie but didn’t know what to do with them all. Like the one corrupt CBI character who’s initially set up as the villain. You would expect that in the end, Iniyan will expose his wrongdoings and Kurinji Vendhan will put a bullet through his temple. But that entire set up is just ignored COMPLETELY, for a climax that has our hero screaming some righteous messages — Good God, haven’t we had enough of this? — and then more twists and turns that are boring and unnecessary.

I am going to give this movie a slightly higher rating than I initially wanted to after walking out of the cinema because of Vignesh Shivan’s unique style and vision. He’s willing to experiment and that’s always something that directors, especially young ones, should do. But this experiment is very much a hit or miss. The tone is all over the place and Vignesh Shivan gets lost in his own twists and turns. I left feeling underwhelmed. 2018 is billed as one of the biggest years in the Tamil side of Indian cinema, particularly where mass-masalas are concerned. But this is a rocky start. A+ for Anirudh, though.

Suriya 40 Is ‘Etharkkum Thunindhavan’; A Gangster-Like Figure Wielding A Sword

Sun Pictures’ buildup to Suriya 40’s first look was so ingenious that it also revealed the other cast members of the film, including Sathyaraj, Saranya, and Priyankaa Mohan, who is also working on the film ‘Doctor’, an Indian medical action film alongside Sivakarthikeyan.

But guess what? the film’s second look was also revealed shortly on the same day as a “Double-Treat” for the fans!

The title of Suriya 40 is ‘Etharkkum Thunindhavan’, which is apparently a reference to Sivakumar’s (Suriya’s father) 1976 film ‘Etharkum Thuninthavan.’ On the eve of Suriya’s 46th birthday, the makers of the tentatively titled Suriya 40 unveiled the first-look motion poster and title of the film.

Pandiraj directs ‘Etharkkum Thunindhavan’, which translates “he’s ready for anything.” D Imman composed the music for this film, and Rathnavelu is in charge of the cinematography.
After ‘Pasanga 2’ and ‘Kadaikutty Singam’, ‘Etharkkum Thunindhavan’ will be Pandiraj’s third collaboration with Suriya. While Suriya played the lead in ‘Pasanga 2’, he also produced and appeared in ‘Kadaikutty Singam’, which starred his brother, Karthi.

This film, which depicts Suriya as a gangster-like figure wielding a sword, is described as a rural entertainer. Suriya, on the other hand, appeared to be in a veshti satte, gripping swords and guns. The sword he used, in particular, was not the typical aruval seen in most rural action dramas. Are there any other hints from the movie that the makers are giving away to the audience?

Naamastay Hip Hop! An Exclusive Interview Awaits You With Your Fav Artist

A few weeks ago, we made a shout- out to all hip hop music enthusiasts in Malaysia.
Spearheaded by the fabulous team FourOne6, they are all set to hustle their very first hip-hop concert this year aptly titled “Naamastay Hip Hop!” featuring prolific artists right up to upcoming budding talents which will be taking place on 29th May 2022, from 4pm at The Bee, Publika.

The artist lineup for this gig is just so lit that we can expect a banger in their stage presence all night long, brimming with so much energy.
Varnam Malaysia had the opportunity to interview some of the talented upcoming artists who will be performing at the event.
Check it out!
YUNOHOO

Yunohoo, previously known as Rubba Bend, from the fame of Stylish Tamilachi song will be performing on stage. She has worked with legendary producers such as Yuvan Shankar Raja, Rabbit Mac, and Roshan Jamrock and she’s made her debut in the Kollywood scene.
Despite the fact on being nervous after a long time of staying idle, the rapper said, “After two years of recording and engaging in online shows from home due to the pandemic, I am thrilled to perform live on stage, to connect and to feel the enthusiasm brimming from the audience themselves.”
When asked about the pressure of being in the rap industry, this 90s kid stated that pressure is always there.
“It’s hard to manoeuvre in this industry without having a proper understanding of how to deal with various projects, especially as an independent artist,” she explained. “But I’m grateful to my mentors who have guided and supported me when I needed it most.”
This is what the rap maniac emphasises: no matter what you do, you can’t please everyone. She encourages young talents to pursue their passion and self-love should be prioritised above anything else.
Nevertheless, expect the unexpected – Yunohoo

Singapore Crooner Shabir Fires Up With Vettai’s Fifth Title Track

Vettai (The Hunt), one of the best Singapore Tamil drama series that garnered many fans during season 1 is back with a bang with its fifth season.
Due to its unique theme song, the drama series gained huge popularity that really drove it over the edge. Rather than acting as a filler for the show’s introduction, the track shook up the local soundtrack industry as well as the Tamil TV industry.

Audiences couldn’t get enough of the track after it became a hit in Singapore and over the causeway JB!
Alongside Shabir, there were two artistes who lent their voices to the song. Eugenia Yip from the Singaporean jazz-funk band, ‘The Steve McQueens’ with her haunting and ethereal vocals. After transitioning to a heart-thumping EDM beat, Yogi B, the godfather of Tamil rap, comes in with his explosive lyrics to showcase his mastery of cadence and flow.
What amazes us more?
This is the FIFTH AND FINAL season where Shabir will be working on the soundtrack for the Vettai franchise. Although he worked on the first 4 songs on his own, this time he is not alone.  Buvan, the 25-year-old producer was just about 10 years old when he first listened to the first soundtrack during its release.

As a huge fan of the soundtrack and the series, he had to calm his nerves and deliver his best for the theme song; knowing that the series has a huge fan base and that the responsibility to satisfy everybody’s expectations rests on his shoulders too.
Watch the mind-blowing Vettai 5 track video below:
Related:  Contest Alert: Win Tickets To Naamastay Hip Hop Happening on 20th May 2023
Vettai was first premiered in 2010 and immediately garnered immense support with a viewership spread across Singapore and Malaysia. This action-packed series revolves around a police squad that specialises in solving cases involving Indian immigrants. This special elite team operates in utmost secrecy and solves problems that the police are unable to solve.
Since its debut on Netflix last year, the series has had a resurgence in popularity with a wider regional audience.
If you’re fan of this power-packed series, don’t miss the opportunity to watch the 5th Season free on Demand at MeWatch on the 9th March 2022.

Pondy Bazaar – Deepavali Edition Is Back To The Town In Full Swing

Pondy Bazaar – Deepavali Edition is coming back to the town yo!
Deepavali & Bazaars – These two words are commonly go together wherever it is. Spearheaded by the Asia Wedding Works team, the household name that needs no introduction is an established platform that values the upcoming or new vendors and communities whereby we believe in contributing to the local economy but supporting independently owned businesses to gain an authentic experience seeing through the local’s eye and taking you off the beaten path.
But, guess what has the organiser stored for us this time?

Asia Wedding Works will be organising a special DEEPAVALI EDITION of PONDY BAZAAR at Bukit Kota Kemuning Convention Centre (BKCC) from 29th September to 2nd October 2022 (11AM – 10PM).

There’s no doubt that Pondy Bazaar saw an influx for the previous event and now hundreds of local vendors are all set to throng the bazaar through various vendors for fall-themed goods. From initiating Pondy Bazaar 1.0 to 2.0, the event were indeed a great success.
With that being said, it came to our surprise when the organiser announced that 100% booths were sold out within a day period. Danggg, this is such a great piece of news!
Asking about the purpose of coming back with the concept of Deepavali Edition for this time bazaar, the core team said that:
Due to overwhelming response from the previous vendors and also attendees, we have decided to initiate this bazaar once again. We never thought that this bazaar would have a special place in all the vendors and also attendees’ hearts. Perhaps, we have received so many DM’s asking when the next bazaar will be taking place and etc.
Instead of heading to those big chains whether it’s a bakery, gift shop or restaurant, the best way of giving back to the local community is by eating and purchasing local products.

We can promise you that, you feel the warmth and passion as soon as you walk through the front door. Wouldn’t you rather walk into a local business where you’re treated with one-on-one care, than a boring old franchise that shows you little to no service at all?
Let’s support all our brains and creators behind the local business. By simply purchasing an item, your support fuels their dreams and could further inspire more entrepreneurs!

Radhikaa Sarathkumar Casts Arvind Swamy & Simbu To Star In MR Radha Biopic

If you never knew (or to young to know) about the reason behind MGR’s raspy voice, we are about to tell you what happened.

Popular film actor and politician, Madras Rajagopalan Radhakrishnan Naidu, or MR Radha,  shot actor and politician M. G. Ramachandran (MGR) at his home during a meeting. MR Radha got up halfway through the meeting and shot MGR on the ear twice, both bullets lodged into his throat. MR Radha later turned to shoot himself but survived with a slight scratch on the temple. The both survived the incident. MGR developed the raspy voice and MR Radha was sent to prison for four years and three months.
MGR taking oath from the hospital after the gunshot injuries
It almost sounds like a film script and we believe that is the same thing that ran in Radhika Sarathkumar’s mind. In an attempt to immortalise her father’s legacy, Radhika will be producing a biopic under her ome banner Radaan Media Works with the direction of Ike, MR Radha’s grandson.
Arvind Swamy
Radhika has now roped Simbu and Arvind Swamy to play the roles of MR Radha and MGR respectively. The two were last seen in Mani Ratnam’s Chekka Chivantha Vaanam as brothers.
Simbu

Petition To Make Pre-Marital Courses & HIV Tests Mandatory for Non-Muslim Couples

Mohana Muniandy, a former MIC Wanita leader, has started a petition to persuade Putrajaya to make pre-marital courses mandatory for non-Muslim couples in order to minimise the number of divorces in the country over petty issues.
Picture credit: Mohana Muniandy Official Facebook
She also wants the government to make it mandatory for non-Muslims to get a HIV test before getting married.
According to Mohana‘s petition on change.org, such courses will educate couples on married life and how to overcome disputes.
This is due to her argument that many divorces are the result of “petty reasons.”
Picture credit: Department of Statistics Malaysia Official Portal
According to the statistics department, non-Muslim divorces increased 8.3% from 10,593 (2018) to 11,473 (2019). Therefore, Crude Divorce Rate (CDR) for non-Muslim couples increased from 0.8 (2018) to 0.9 (2019) per thousand non-Muslim population.
Hence, the government should now make it mandatory for non-Muslim couples who want to marry in this country to take a pre-marital course and undergo HIV testing, she stated in her petition.
She told FMT that;
Couples should be taught about their rights, duties and responsibilities in a marriage.
By introducing this course, couples can better understand and be aware of the challenges they may face, and at the same time make them more open in entering married life.
I believe that when we know we want to spend the rest of our lives with someone, we should take sensible steps to ensure that all is in order before tying the knot.
Her efforts might result in some changes to the statistics reported. However, do you feel this is the only way to solve the problem?
Well, what are your thoughts on the matter? If you agree with Mohana’s statement above, please sign the petition by clicking here and feel free to share your thoughts.

Suriya Is All Set For The New Year

Suriya Sivakumar may have had a relatively quiet 2018, as he was focusing on his film production and distribution company, 2D Entertainment.
2019 looks to be the year for the actor, and he is currently finishing up filming two blockbusters that are set to release this year. Nandha Gopalan Kumaran (NGK) is an upcoming Tamil language political thriller film written and directed by Selvaraghavan. This will be Suriya’s first time working with the director. He will star alongside Sai Pallavi, Rakul Preet Singh as well as Mansur Ali Khan and Sampath.

Reports have emerged that Surya’s next film will be Kaapaan. The filmmakers were pretty creative with choosing the title. Director K.V. Anand conducted a poll on Twitter asking fans to vote for one of the three titles he had in mind for Suriya’s upcoming flick. The options were Uyirka, Meetpaan and Kaapaan. Uyirka was the winning title, but the director lacked confidence in the people, and decided to go with Kaapaan.

Kaapaan is an action thriller and Suriya will be playing a commando alongside Malayalam veteran actor Mohanlal. Kaapaan will also feature Sayyesha, Arya and Boman Irani. The film has music by Harris Jayaraj. The first look posters have been released and the actor certainly looks like a protector. Fans will have to wait till the end of 2019 for Kaapaan, as shooting will only begin in mid January.
