@AnishA_Moonka You are wrong. There is a lot of CGI and VFX in the film. Do better with your report instead of negating the work on hundreds of artists on the film. It’s ridiculous.

You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directing their first live-action movie in 12 years, built the entire Hail Mary spacecraft as a real set at Shepperton Studios in England. Not a miniature. Not a digital model. A full-size ship interior you can walk through. Production designer Charlie Wood studied the International Space Station, Russia's Mir station, and the Boeing 747 cockpit to get the look right. He deliberately made the panels mismatched, because real spacecraft are assembled from parts made by different companies. Nothing matches perfectly. That's what makes it feel real. The cockpit is only about 8 feet wide. It sits on a mechanical platform that can tilt, spin, and shake, so when the ship changes direction or enters different gravity conditions, the whole set moves. Chairs end up on walls. Ladders flip direction. Gosling was suspended inside a spinning ring so he could float and move through the ship for real, reacting to actual hardware around him. No guessing where a wall might be added later. Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him. Greig Fraser, who won the Oscar for shooting Dune, filmed the space scenes in the larger IMAX format (that taller image you see in IMAX theaters) and the Earth flashbacks in regular widescreen. Then the team did something unusual: they took the digital footage and printed it onto real film strips, twice, using two different types of film stock. Then they scanned those strips back into digital. It sounds redundant, but it adds a texture and warmth that you can only get from physical film. Fraser used the same technique on Dune and The Batman. Drew Goddard spent six years writing this screenplay. His last adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, earned him an Oscar nomination. He described the challenge this way: a screenplay gets about 5% of a novel's word count. The lead is alone for most of the runtime. When he finally gets a co-star, that co-star doesn't speak English, communicates through sounds closer to whale song, and has no face. Goddard called it a screenwriter's nightmare, then said that difficulty was the whole point. He and the directors fought studio pushback to keep Weir's original ending intact. 95% from 212 critics. 98% from over 2,500 audience ratings. And the lead isn't a superhero, a cop, or a soldier. He's just an ordinary middle school science teacher.

In ancient India, caravan traffic for its risks was carried on as a co-operative enterprise. The Jatakas speak of 'Satthavaha' who were the leaders of different traders with their cart goods & men. The Saathavaha gave directions to a caravan as to halts, watering places, fords & danger spots. There were also 'Yamakas' who acted as guides & escorts against dangers like wild beasts, robbers, etc. Similarly, sea-faring merchants chartered a common vessel & formed partnerships in business for exports of birds to Babylon ( Baveru), or of import of horses from the north to cities like Kashi.

That is where another explicit mention of Asmaka was. Refer to Hathigumpha inscription (c.2 BCE) which talks of Satakarni-I of Asmaka Janapatha. Stop claiming wrong fathers and stick to Shivaji Maharaj whom we respect too. Don’t make a fool out of yourself and degrade Marathi people. Andhras are not Marathis.

@PunjabicWarrior Urasa, Arusa, and Ars are all the same referring to Rasa or Ash means Heaven. The term has different meanings but within the geographical boundaries of the Heavens at Athens or Sthenes or Sthaneswar.

The ancient name for Hazara in the Greater Punjab region was ‘Urasa’, ‘Arusa’ or ‘Arsa’ in its variations. Urasa was named by Kalhana as the region a Kashmiri king was killed by the Hindu Shahis. It was later changed to Hazara after 1000 Timurid soldiers settled in the region.

@TartariaLives There were more than twenty ancient tribes who were considered as the Scythians. They were a group of ancient followers.

Yes. I am arguing for the same. Mithani having Vedic gods makes a solid case for deity to be diffused from India than from reconstructed PIE homeland as the homeland or Syria do not have monsoon ecology to develop these Vedic deities. That ecology and geography present only at IVC.

Asish K Routray @ ଆଶିଷ - Odisha First
What was the demography of ancient Kalingan civilization? Were they black, white or brown? According to my theory #Kalinga was a maritime civilization encompassing many phenotypes across the sea but the core was Prachi Kalinga i.e. Odisha. Its time to rewrite Kalingan history?

A fine archeological specimen representing maritime tradition of Odisha. The Martanda Bhairava of Sun temple. Take a note #Konarka was an ancient port. Not only Devi worship but also Narasingha Upasana & Aditya Narayana worship was integral part of our ancient maritime tradition.

This is the problem created by ignoring the fundamental rule of understanding Vedas. Indra in Vedas is an adjective used for multiple entities. When Indra is used for Sun, description of Sun with golden rays destroying the darkness was mistranslated as Golden haired man destroying dark skinned natives.
Itiha@itiha29

@VedicWisdom1 Man, Thanks for saying this. He depicts Indira as Blue eyed, blonde haired person. In my humble opinion, I'm no expert but the extent of @indiainpixels miss-information is mind blowing.

During his 'Dakshinpatha campaign', Samudragupta defeated 12 kings of the South and went as far as Kanchi. Let's try to figure out as to how much time Samudragupta took to defeat these kings and return. A straight line between Patna to Kanchi, gives us a distance of 2155 kms. Samudragupta didn't go in a straight line as is evident from his Prayagraj inscription. We can add up to 250-300 kms more to the above distance and arrive at around 2500 kms. If an army of 50,000 covers 20 kms a day, it would reach Kanchi in 125 days, & same for coming back..125 x2 = 250 Days. This doesn't include resting period or battle-days or diplomatic talks. The army under Samudragupta would have to campaign for a significant period, which would last one year or more, easily. A big part of Gupta army would be absent from north for 1.5-2 years, & hence, this may have led to rebellion in the north....In the core of Gupta empire !
