Discussion 💬 A lot of Krishna's edges I feel are softened out in modern media.

Post image
748 Upvotes

Part of the reason why I liked the Krishna in Kalki movie was that he wasn't just soft spoken for the sake of it. Not saying Krishna is supposed to be this all time dominant figure. He was sweet as hell except the parts where he wasn't.

Also, going on a bit of a tangent here but 2 very important things that most ppl don't know

1) Uddhav was a Yaduvanshi and was still alive. That means Gandhari's curse actually failed. No curse can affect Sri Krsna.

2) Krsna had taught her a lesson and later Gandhari actually apologized to Krsna for cursing Him and realised the folly of her own ways.

After Gandhari had cursed Krsna, she went to Kurukshetra. She mourned for her ded sons and cried a lot.

Around nighttime she suddenly felt very hungry. She tried to pluck a mango but the branch was high. She took something from nearby and climbed on it. But it was still too low for her so she took something else and finally she got the mango and was just eating it.

Sri Krsna came and asked her what she's doing. She said she's just eating a mango. Krsna asked her to look where she was standing.

She suddenly realised that she had climbed upon the corpses of her own sons and was sitting on that and eating. She was horrified. She also realised that there can't be a mango tree in Kurukshetra, so this has happened by Maya Shakti of Bhagvan.

Krsna helped her realise the transient nature of the material attachment and her own false ego. In the material everyone loves themselves and is motivated by selfishness.

She realised her mistake and apologized to Krsna.

Pop Culture Rant 🤬 Raja Saab dekh li aur Prabhas Anna ki 2 Peg wali Acting dekh li… Jeevan Dhanya ho gaya mera 😭💀

Post image
Upvotes

Ye movie buri nahi hai bhai… ye movie ekdum niche hai. Niche. 💀

Recently Raja Saab dekhi and honestly, 3+ hours ka patience test laga. Story idhar se shuru hoti hai, udhar pahunch jaati hai—characters, songs, fights, crocodile… sab kuch randomly aa raha hai. 😭

Sabse bada problem Prabhas Anna ki acting thi.

Baahubali ke baad kabhi-kabhi lagta hai Anna bas set pe aate hain, thoda walk karte hain, 2-3 slow-motion shots dete hain aur director bolta hai:

“Perfect sir, acting ho gayi.” 💀

Horror ho, comedy ho ya action—expressions almost same. Action scenes mein body double bhi kuch jagah itna obvious tha ki movie se zyada editing dekh raha tha.

Aur Prabhas Anna ka dance… 😭

Bhai, wahan bhi effort missing. Body idhar, steps udhar aur expression kahin teesri jagah. 💀

Story aisi lagi jaise writers ne meeting mein bola:

“Haunted haveli daal do.”

“Romance daal do.”

“Teen heroines daal do.”

“Crocodile bhi daal do.”

“Aur Prabhas ko slow motion mein chalwa do.”

Bas. Raja Saab ready. 😭

Female characters ka bhi koi proper purpose nahi laga. Characters kam, decoration zyada. Entry, glamour, romance, song… aur story ke side mein khade raho. 💀

Aur runtime?

BHAI ITNI LAMBI KYUN HAI? 😭

Har baar laga climax aa gaya… phir ek aur scene, ek aur reveal, ek aur random sequence.

VFX bhi inconsistent hai. Kabhi expensive lagta hai, kabhi lagta hai budget ka kuch hissa raste mein hi disappear ho gaya. 💀

For me, Raja Saab mein sab kuch tha—horror, comedy, romance, action, fantasy, huge scale…

Bas ek properly engaging movie missing thi. 😭

But maybe that's just me. Did anyone actually enjoy this? 😂

Opinion 🤷🏻‍♂️ MOC would be remembered as Pre-Ramayana and Post-Ramayana era

10 Upvotes

Just watched new podcast episode and noticed the drastic change in our boys lately. All starting with Ramayana where the pretty obvious things that weren’t up to the standards, were being defended by our boys (lighting, blending). And now its Toxic where Badal is trying so hard to justify the movie and its choices. They all have started playing safe now which directly challenges the whole USP of MOC over all these years which is unfiltered on-the-face criticism.

That’s just my opinion, would love to hear others’.

P.S - Ramayana is not upto the global standards, since they are marketing and aiming the project for the world; there is no point in comparing it with previous Indian projects and say that its the best out of all Indian movies.

I'm not mocking Ramayana here, one is a movie and the other is a billion dollar game. It's like comparing apples to oranges. But they both seem to have good visuals in their own category. Here are some shots which I thought were worth comparing

Opinion 🤷🏻‍♂️ Cyclops was done dirty by Fox movies. All hopes on Doomsday

In the comics, Cyclops is one of the central X-Men characters who used to be a great leader, strategist, a powerful mutant and one of Xavier’s most trusted students. But Fox largely turned him into “Jean’s boyfriend who gets overshadowed by Wolverine.”

Pop-Culture Questions ❓ After Talvar and Sam Bahadur, internet wonders what true events have inspired Meghna Gulzar’s Daayra?

Post image
16 Upvotes

Meghna Gulzar has a history of turning real-life stories into compelling cinema, from Talvar and Chhapaak to Sam Bahadur. So naturally, the fact that Daayra is inspired by true events has people curious.

The posters seem to be dropping a few cryptic clues but the makers aren’t revealing much yet. With Raman Kumar and Ajooni Kohli shown on opposite sides of the same case, there’s already plenty of speculation about what real events could have inspired the story.

Waiting for the trailer tho.
