What did people eat during the Rajaraja Chola times? What were their favorite snack? Did they consume meat? Did they drink alcohol in celebration? A thread! Warning: Reading this thread could trigger the foodie in you! #PonniyinSelvan1

Dravidawood is not releasing any big movie as money is locked in for election season. Last watchable big Tamil film released ~10 months back. Tamils are hungry for a good film. Dhurandhar 2 will be an even bigger hit. Tamil Peter Sandhu will keep crying. Savor these kadharals.

"How stupid can we get? If Keezhvenmani, Asuran. If Vachathi, Viduthalai. If Sankagiri, Maamannan. If Dhaaravi, Kaala. Why we respond by film, not action? All to fuel WA university" said no elite Tamil reviewer ever. They would be cancelled in a jiffy. Every storyteller deserves to tell their stories and document untold pains on films. Films are for eternity. A celluloid record of a slice of history with creative liberties. Engage with a film's content honestly if you must, but don't question why they make films only when movies like Dhurandhar come out.
MRV@MRVChennai

How stupid can we get? For every challenge on the nation we respond by film, not action. If Kerala, Kerala Files. If Kashmir, Kashmir files. If fake currency Dhurandar. Just keep the WA university & conversations going. Remember all villains of these movies are alive! #NoAction

@dhruv_rathee Thanks for speaking up, Dhruv. Was truly worried if you may stop giving free publicity to the film. Now waiting for Anupama Dadi to review the loud, jingoistic, intolerably high testosterone in the film. You and dadi are doing national service by driving sane ppl to theatres 🫡

I called Aditya Dhar a BJP propagandist 3 months ago. Now everyone will see it. It was subtle in the previous film, but he went so blatant this time in overconfidence. Remember how I said, well-made propaganda is more dangerous? Ab toh well-made bhi nahi raha. Lol

@urstrulyadhil Globally, we have seen how Mao, Lenin, Stalin and all communist regimes treated people equally bro. Dont project your feelings of learning politics from SM onto others. Last book you might have read is Facebook. Nadula ketta vartha pesitaa perya puluthinu nenappu pola.

@sriramvarad TN used to sell toddy too and later banned it. Toddy is better when compared with hard liquor, in terms of being less intoxicating/addictive. Just want these politicians to keep saint Thiruvalluvar out of their agenda.

#WATCH | Chennai: Regarding his meeting with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, DMK leader R Rajiv Gandhi says, "The CM is asking every individual; just over 53 members are asking for the nominated seat... Every candidate feels happy... Tamil Nadu is the super state nowadays. People are happy. The CM also ordered that every person go to every home to propagate the message for elections for his party."

Anyone who quotes பிறப்பொக்கும், clearly has not read any other Thirukkural. Thiruvalluvar is a Hindu saint who wrote a universal book of ethics, polity & love. Attempts at secularizing him will always be met with pushback from those who've actually read his work.

Not a liberal, but giving it a shot. M Heroine is forced to be a ISI agent by extremist dad whose home was demolished in Partition and hates India for it. Hero is a Sindhi H forced to be a RAW agent by conservative dad who hates Pak for the same reason. The duo fall in love in their lines of duty, inspired by the mutual desire of Aman ki Asha. Both become double agents to thwart insurgency attempts from both countries (to be neutral). Both country politicians are evil schemers who milk the anti sentiment for their power greed. Both country civilians suffer. Punch Dialogues like "there is Ram in Ramzan and Ali in Diwali" thrown in. Hero and heroine make the citizens realize this in mutual suizide mission in climax. Both countries become Romeo and Juliet post that. Hero wears green tshirt, heroine wears saffron bikini as the post-credits songs roll. "Facts" taken from neutral reputed portals like Al Jazeera, The Wire, The News Minute, The South First, The Hindu, The Caravan.

Dear Indian “liberals,” a very open, very unencumbered question for you: You have to make the ideal spy thriller for Bollywood. Absolutely airtight, both ideologically, morally, and above all, factually. The subject is terrorism. That Pakistan sponsors terrorism in India is fact. That this terrorism HAS religious motivation is also fact. So make the film only on facts of the subject. Cinematic liberties, sure, but no propaganda and no equivocation. What would that ideal film be like? And why? Be open.

Happy Ugadi to our Kannada and Telugu brethren🥳 Our CM would wish on the right day of your new year because you all are assertive enough to not let anyone distort your culture for political agenda. May other states learn from your cultural unity & true pride in your identity🙏

ಯುಗಾದಿ ಹಬ್ಬದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು (Ugadi Habbada Shubhashayagalu). Exactly, let the Bevu-Bella remind everyone that life’s highs and lows are handled with grace when identity is firm. The message is clear: culture and the calendar are not for political posturing. Take a cue from Karnataka and Andhra/Telangana. Come April 14th, it is Tamil New Year, exactly as it has always been, despite past attempts by the DMK government to manufacture a shift. The fact that Sri Lankan Tamils and the global diaspora never flinched proves that true heritage isn't dictated by a local government office. @mkstalin
