‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu' Twitter review: Hit or miss for Pawan Kalyan? Check out
's much-anticipated historical drama 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs Spirit' has finally made its way to the theatres. Once considered a stalled or shelved project, the film's return had been met with cautious hope. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The film, which runs for nearly three hours, was touted as a grand cinematic spectacle, with historical scale and emotion. Let's take a look at what the Twitter users are saying about the film. From electrifying action to disjointed narrative Hari Hara Veera Mallu | Song - Evaradi Evaradi Initial Twitter reviews have been a mixed bag. One user commented, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu's interval brings the heat, but the first half's slow serial vibes & big action miss the mark.' Another chimed in, calling the Kusthi fight 'one of the best action sequences in Telugu cinema.' Yet, many were less forgiving. One early viewer tweeted, 'No grip on the storytelling, visual effects & drama doesn't work. Big second half needed for at least an average film.' Some criticized the visual effects and flow of the narrative, calling it 'bits and pieces stuck together' and describing the viewing experience as 'torturous so far.' Another one wrote, "Done with Hhvm premiers .. movie- okay ok. Fights . Pawan Kalyan screen presence. Kervani thatha sava kotinadu. But VFX &cg chala worst." Star cast and technical talent can't save it for all Despite featuring a loaded ensemble cast—Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Agerwal, Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi, and Sathyaraj—many viewers felt the film struggled to hold attention. Even with an impressive list of technicians including cinematographers Manoj Paramahamsa and Gnana Shekar V.S., and editors like KL Praveen, the film's VFX and storytelling were widely criticized. Action choreographers like Nick Powell, Ram-Laxman, and Peter Hein added muscle to the action, but reactions suggest the impact was inconsistent. Keeravani's music stood out for some, but for others, it wasn't enough to rescue the overall experience.

‘Even Ratan Tata was not married,' says Nithya Menen as she opens up on not wanting to go by the societal norms, opens up on heartbreaks: ‘It's not a central theme of my life'
Nithya Menen who is gearing up for the release of her movie 'Thalaivan Thalaivii' with Vijay Sethupathi is known for her long list of work in various languages. Nithya has done movies in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam. The actress also won a National Award recently for her film Thiruchitrambalam. In a recent interview, Nithya has opened up on not going by the norms of the society when it comes to marriage and finding a soulmate. She said that while it happens, it's okay but it's no longer the central theme of her life. She also spoke about the fact that it's not as important to get married as the society projects it to be. She shared, 'The idea of love evolved for me through the years; it's not a central theme of my life. When I was younger, it was so important to me to find my soulmate. Family, parents and society make you feel like it's inevitable. I've understood now that you can live a different life. Otherwise, you feel like a failure. It's impossible for everybody to find love and get married. Ratan Tata was not married. If it happens, great. If it doesn't happen, also great. It doesn't give me grief' Thus, reflecting on the idea of marriage, Nithya shared that while elders often advocate it for practical reasons, she doesn't believe it deserves any moral pedestal. She added that she's always been naturally solitary — the thought of being alone never unsettled her; in fact, she's always found comfort in her own company. Thus, she emphasised on the fact that one can have a fulfilling life, outside of romantic relationships as well. Nithya also spoke about heartbreaks in this interview. She opened up on it and said, 'I am so happy that life is an open path now. Every set notion has broken for me, freeing me up to live life. Everything is great and wonderful only when it's for a good reason. I've been heartbroken every single time. It's obviously why I am not with someone right now. All of that only teaches you about people's intentions. You realise what you're searching itself is wrong, you have to leave it. ' 'Thalaivan Thalaivii' is set to release in theatres on July 25. The film chronicles the highs and lows of a marriage beginning with love but spiraling into chaos.

Celebrating grandparents and their oral tradition that has transcended time
Lakshmi (85), a homemaker who takes care of her grandchildren at home, corroborates and recalls how a specific kozhukattai story she told her grandchildren was always rich with imagination. The characters in the story were brought to life using the names of family members. 'It's about the naughtiest child in the household who sneaks off with a kozhukattai (a sweet) and replaces it with a rat, disrupting the count and leaving another child short of their share,' she explains. 'When the mischief is discovered and the naughty one is punished, another child steps in with kindness and suggests everyone share their sweets with the culprit. Every time the story was told, each grandchild wanted to play the role of the compassionate one and they would always pin the 'naughty' label on a sibling,' she adds. Even while singing songs, grandparents admit to switching the names of little girls and boys with those of their grandchild. 'That acts as a hook,' Lakshmi reasons. Rhymes and reasons Apart from adding a personal spin to tales and rhymes, several Tamil stories narrated by grandparents seem to have catchy songs and sounds — at least four to five lines — that make children demand the story be repeated to them time and again. 'The kozhukattai story, for instance, has a song that goes, 'Amma amma kozhukattai ku kannu undo di?' ('Mom, does a kozhukattai have eyes?') And then goes on to ask if it has ears, nose, mouth, and a tail,' Lakshmi says. Another story, famous among grandparents, of a street vendor indulging in bartering, has the song, 'Vaalu poi kathi vandhudhu, dum dum dum,' (translates to: losing a tail for a knife) explaining each barter exchange. Jaya (66), a domestic worker, also shares a specific story she often tells her grandchildren that features sounds designed to attract them. 'It is the story of a kulla (a short guy) who gets bullied by dogs, chickens, and more such animals,' she says. The dog in the story, for instance, would bully him by saying 'Bow bow kulla, bow bow kulla,' repeated rhythmically, followed by a chicken that would say, 'Kokkarako kulla, kokkarako kulla.'
