So, i have seen a lot of rc editors on instagram, and they are not Indian, and i have observed that they are highly brainwashed by a Russian's interpretation of the Indian Culture. I hope you understand what I am getting at, and that is Alexandra R's Kali Call of Darkness on Romance Club. They think that Goddess Kali is a blood thirsty goddess. No. She is not. Alexandra didn't do proper research, and hence didn't mention why Kali actually drank blood. Kali is not a sadistic goddess.
The reason Kali drank blood, was because of the demon she was destroying. The demon she was destroying was Raktbeeja and NOT MAHISHASURA AS PER THE WRITTING OF ALEXANDRA R IN THE STORY, and the demon, upon the spilling of his blood ON THE GROUND, would multiply. So it was impossible to kill him. Kali, killed him, and in order to prevent the blood spilling on the ground, collected it on a bowl and then drank it, before it could spill on the ground. Thus, she prevented the multiplying of Raktbeeja, and successfully killed him.
Kali was shown as a sadistic goddess in the story, and people are highly brainwashed by it and convinced that Kali actually wants human sacrifices. I, as an Indian, a Hindu and a worshipper of Shakti, doubt that she wants such sacrifices for her worship. She is the Great Mother, and a mother will never want her children to be harmed for the sake of her worship. Yes, maybe some worshippers did sacrifice humans, but it is strictly banned in India.
The story is fictional, and I know I am not supposed to take it seriously, but the few comments i have seen against the goddess outraged me and heavily hurt my sentiments.
Some people might take the story seriously, and they might build up a sense of racism and can affect people in real life.
I will not mention who are the particular ones, but if you do notice them, please, dont get convinced of the fact that Indians are bloodthirsty demons, and Kali is a sadistic goddess.
now i haven't watched adipurush. but ive seen the teaser. ive seen the trailer. ive listened to the specific issues people have had with the movie.
and ive listened to the makers' poor excuses. one of which is, that this was made to cater to the younger generation.
and boy is that a disgusting excuse. how horribly condescending of them.
what are you trying to imply? the younger generation isn't gonna watch the Ramayana if there isn't truckloads of vfx in it and if the dialogues aren't grotesquely simplified? is that why you've made a low-quality high-budget movie? are you having some kind of pity on "this generation"? what an appalling excuse for your incompetence!
There's a reason why Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana of 1987 and Yugo Sako's Ramayana of 1992 are still so popular. The amount of research and hard work that would've gone into reducing such a nuanced and massive and revered epic into a series of 78 episodes or a movie with a run time of 2 hours, is unimaginable. Their popularity is because they understood the essence of the text and exercised their creative liberty within its essence.
How many of y'all have watched the homegrown animated movie "Hanuman" that came out in 2005? (not bal hanuman or whatever else, im talking about the OG) I was only 2 when it came out and I was obsessed with it. I was obsessed with Hanuman. He was essentially my favourite super hero. I would roam around with my dad's towel tucked into my chaddi, like a tail and i had a gadaa! a brown, plastic gadaa that my parents bought me and it was my favourite thing in the world!
and i knew that movie line by line. i said the lines as they parallelly played on the screen. how???? because the objective of the movie was simple - to tell the story of hanuman. the objective wasn't to babytalk the story of hanuman because kids are, well, kids. the movie is there on youtube btw, if you ever wanna (re)watch it.
i'll rant about ravan's potrayal in adipurush in another post. *sighs*

@tumhari-bhairavi This song is legit 🤌🏼❤️🔥
It's kinda also my go to song when working out and doing that last heavy set because well, who doesn't get a sudden burst of energy while hearing this song!
On absolutely no one's demand (except @nirmohi-premika and @tumhari-bhairavi) I would like to be a little annoying firecracker and post my favourite clip from the film where Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj kills Afzal Khan in a cinematic masterpiece because I want this to stay on my blog qjsjksjsk
It's April and we've collectively as a nation, turned into a whore for chilled water.
Bajirao Mastani : More fiction than facts
I wanted to say this for a long time, but I was just scared to stir a controversy here. While I understand the attraction of "Bajirao Mastani" due to its aesthetics, I personally find the liberal use of artistic freedom to be jarring, to say the least. Atleast to me, the film takes the artistic freedom to such an extent that it effortlessly crosses the line and becomes a mere fanfiction with little to none historic relevance.
The film shows Nana Saheb (Kashibai's eldest son) snatching Shamsher Bahadur from Mastani, torturing and tying her to numerous chains and leaving her to die in a rotten jail.
THAT IS NOT HOW MASTANI DIED. Marathas were not some salty cowards to jail a woman, torture her to death and snatch her child away from her. The sheer disrespect on the morals of Marathas who never raised a weapon on women, children and old people. Sabhasad Bhakar, a rare and old biography or Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj states how the Marathas were ordered to treat the women during a war :)
"There should be no women, female slaves, or dancing girls in the army. He who would keep them should be beheaded. In enemy territories, women and children should not be captured. Males, if found, should be captured. No one should commit adultery."
Source : Sabhasad Bhakar, written in 1697 in the court of Chhatrapati Rajaram, Shivaji's second son.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali shows a scene where the Peshwa family conspires a secret attack during Ganesh Puja to kill Mastani.
No fucking body tried to kill Shamsher Bahadur or Mastani like that scene of the song Gajanana.The fact that a fake assassination scene was forcibly inserted in a song like Gajanana is insane.
Bajirao's brother Chimaji Appa is potrayed as a psychopath who's only job was to hate Mastani and continously conspire against her and Bajirao because he was shown to be more interested in his family drama than his empire that extended up to Delhi.
FAKE. A 100 TIMES FAKE. Chimaji Appa opposed their marriage but didn't try to conspire against his brother or kill Mastani and Shamsher Bahadur by sending assasins on them. He was infact always busy on the war fronts and loyal to the throne. Chimaji Appa was excellent at warfare and he was the father of Sadashivrao — the real hero of Panipat :)
The film shows the Peshwa family making Mastani stay with the prostitutes and court dancers and Radhabai, Bajirao's mother, not missing one chance to put Mastani down.
You guessed it right, fake again! The truth is Mastani lived in the premise of Shanivar Wada, with respect. Thay place is literally known as Mastani Mahal now. Coming to Radhabai, who's shown to illtreat Mastani at every step in the movie, was the one who conducted Mastani's delivery and let Shamsher Bahadur stay in Pune after his mother's death and become a commander in the Maratha Army during Panipat.
The last ultra sad scene where Mastani breathes her last while watching the sunset from an old, creepy jail, with wounds on her body and iron chains in her hands and feet — well, fake.
Mastani was infact put under house arrest. And that was not because she was a Muslim and everyone else was a religious psychopath, but because Bajirao was turning into a person he never was. During his last days, Bajirao started spending a lot of time with Mastani in her Palace and started neglecting not only Kashibai and his family but also his duties as a Peshwa. He started indulging himself in drinking wine and even consuming meat and refusing to go on wars. This caused an uproar in the kingdom because Peshwas are Brahmins. To end this outbreak of people losing their trust in the Peshwas, Nana Saheb put Mastani under house arrest so that Bajirao couldn't meet her anymore and turn his head towards the enemies marching on the empire instead. Even Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj put his step mother, Soyrabai, under house arrest because she was conspiring against him. Its not a method of torture.
It was shown that Bajirao died due to the grief of separation from Mastani.
No he did not. He was not Devdas. After Mastani's housearrest, Radhabai had reminded Bajirao of his duties and asked him to go on a war. After the war, in his camp, he had caught severe fever and succumbed to the disease. Kashibai, Chimaji Appa and Mastani were all present at the time of his death.
Overall a cinematic and aesthetic banger of a movie, with beautiful sets, costumes and commendable acting but that is all. Nothing more.
Blame this guy named tony for this ok😭
I'm watching a Marathi movie, Pawankhind, which is about how the Maratha commanders save Shivaji Maharaj when he was cornered in his own fort by Adilshah's Sultanate and the dialouges are so 🤌🤌
Here the caption is showing "Get Lost" but he really said "Chal Hattt" 😭😭

Difference bw pulao and veg biryani?
Pulao is simple dish, rice, vegetable, salt, and kewara water, thats it, you got pulao.
Biryani is completed dish,
You need whole garam masala, curd, white onion and brown onion, tamatos, garlic ginger paste, and lots of spices, while making biryani you need precision and accuracy, biryani is kind of bitch to begin with,

I was telling my dadi how Garud Puran gives a vivid account on different types of punishments in hell so she told me she's scared to read it and mummy dead ass said “Paapiyon ko toh darr lagega hi na” —

Veeru sahasrabuddhi wasn't wrong when he said, " life is race " . Well that's the mind set we have inherited since generations. Be it academics, relationship, personality etc etc. First we've compete to get a position in society (for our parents ) later get married to someone to keep the social thing going . Where as I wonder what exactly society does to us when we fall , or do mistakes. Certainly according to society we are not supposed to enjoy our life . We can't study because we enjoy it , we can't stay single because we would love to live carefree . Technical term hai iske liye " samajik bandhan" . When people can't compete in their generation they prepare their next generation to compete . I wonder when would this end . Let them enjoy what they are doing. Guide but don't pressurise to perform for some pseudo excellence .
