Dasara(2023) movie review

Dasara (2023) 
Telugu on Netflix 

Rating 8/10 😇😁




This is a story that shows God helps those who help themselves. Its a story where  action takes victory over crippling sense of fear and propels even the weaker ones against overpowering odds to win. 

This movie can be impeding to some people due to much of gore and violence - for which it has an A rating - which made it all the more   realistic and raw. Loved Nani and Keerthy Suresh in every frame they appeared in. Some actors chase after commercial and glamorous roles .. but these two have chosen this film to push themselves and give themselves the test of passionate acting. They will go far and hope they both bag many many awards for this movie. 

Coming to the story .. The movie is shot in the singareni coal mines of Telangana. Vennela(Keerthy Suresh) and Suri(Deekshith Shetty) love each other from their childhood. They get married and Suri gets killed on the night of their wedding. This is a ploy by a local politician who has lusty designs for Vennela. Dharani (Nani) who is their mutual friend and has also loved Vennela since childhood learns this and marries her to save her. How he wins over the politician and ruthlessness of his mad desire is the rest of the story. 🥳

 The movie starts slow and picks up pace and footing as it goes. Thinking about it .. there is also a certain resignation to fate and fatedness to the story. I have a tendency to be fixated on the future and be fearful of what might happen a lot of the time. This movie has shown me to be rooted to the present and enjoy it while one can because no one knows how wonderfully events can twist themselves. Keerthy suresh got a chance to act in a proper role after Mahanati after a long time. A must watch for all action loving audience.  😀

The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough book review

The Thorn Birds  By Colleen McCullough  Rating 3.75/5 Genres : Australia, Vatican city, Cardinal, Romance, Generational fiction, Historical fiction  Bah. I dont know. I felt this is just an ok sort of book. The only aspect that stirred me and struck a chord with me is the all encompassing, soul level love between Maggie and Father Ralph de Bricassart. Everything else - no matter how juicy,emotional or dramatic just failed to make an impact. The story covers the lives of three generations of women of the Cleary/Armstrong family line - their cherished dreams and dashed hopes, their hurts and heartbreaks over unrequited, failed loves..their finally getting what they wanted but it not being fully enough.. well, it sounds and feels like a roller coaster.  And whats more..there is plenty of repeat in the events of their lives..what has happened to the mother, happens to the daughter and so on..  Coming to the story. Maggie Cleary is brought up with a ...

Book Review : The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand

 The Perfect Couple  By Elin Hildebrand  (Nantucket #3) Published Year : 2018 Page Count: 347 pages  Medium Used: Kindle PW  Genre : Romance, Mystery, Suspense, Psychological Thriller, Drama, Crime, 2024-read.  Rating : 4/5  The ending is such an anticlimax and a let down for me - it almost feels like being cheated. I got so high and invested in the narrative..I lost sleep for most of last night and was reading all day since I got up this morning. The character development is ooof .. the characters are filled with life, credulity and fly off the page into the reader's mind space. I loved the layout of the narrative. I loved the writing.  I would have liked if the mother of the family was a bit on the negative side as well. I mean, really, having Nicole Kidman play the role and making it all cute, nice and kind, compassionate is like wasting enormous talent. I picked this book because I saw an ad that there is a limited series coming up on Netflix ...

Book Review: Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

 Gideon the Ninth  By Tamsin Muir  Published Year: 2019 Page Count: 448 pages  Medium Used: Kindle PW  Genre : Action, Fantasy, Magic, Necromancers, Adventure, Murder Mystery, Suspense, Lesbian, 2024-read.  Rating : 4.75/5 🙂🙂🙂🙂🌟 Wow. The twists!! And wow wow wow .. the lies!! The deceptions ! Its exotic and steamy! Unputdownable. Highly Addictive. Been wanting to read this for a while now! The paperbacks being so expensive, I settled in for a Kindle experience. I am not disappointed. The lack of smut - which I expected/anticipated when I heard its lesbian fantasy - is such a relief. The tone of the narrator is serious throughout. I had some laugh out loud moments once or twice but that's it. One of the best fantasy book series ever!  I think it is the prose and writing style that I had to read this book real slow so as not to miss anything out. There is action in this book , necromancer magic, fantastic games and there are murders to solve and lyc...
