Krishna's kindness
Unable to bear the atrocities of Kamsa, everyone, from ordinary people to devas, aligned with the goddess of earth, Bhooma Devi, and decided to petition Maha Vishnu in person. At that moment, Vishnu Himself declared through an oracle that He would manifest on earth as Krishna and end Kamsa's cruelty. Overjoyed by this, the devas wanted to know if they should all turn into monkeys and populate Kishkinta country, as they had been advised by Him, ahead of His Rama avatar. An amused Vishnu responded, saying they could take any form they desired, from animate to inanimate, and await Him in Brindavan. They promptly landed on Nandagopal's property, who was astounded by the sudden spurt in the population of his cattle, said Damal Perundevi. Having already chosen His earth parents Devaki and Vasudeva and the foster parents Nandagopa and Yasoda, Vishnu asked Adisesha to precede Him as Balaram, conceived by Devaki, but delivered by Vasudeva's other wife through fetal transfer, while He Himself would arrive as the younger brother. Kamsa, Devaki's brother, celebrated her marriage to Vasudeva in a grand manner, bursting with brotherly love, when an oracle declared that the newly-wed's eighth child would kill Kamsa. An angry Kamsa was about to kill Devaki at once, when Vasudeva intervened and promised to deliver the new borns to him. Appeased somewhat, Kamsa then lodged the couple in a jail. Vasudeva did as promised. When Krishna's time to emerge came about, at midnight in the Tamil month of Avani, on Ashtami, under the Rohini star, Krishna decided to be born with His full regalia. His trademark weapons took on miniature form, the tiny crown glistened on His forehead, replete with peacock feather, and He sported a piece of yellow silk cloth around His waist, while the ankles jangled to the tinkle of bells from the anklet. Why did Krishna bedeck Himself so? It is because He was aware that Devaki would get but a fleeting glance at Him before He was given up. As a mother, the agony of such a parting is immeasurable and out of kindness, He decided that Devaki should get a good look at him, in full splendour.

Anupama urges audiences to support female-centric films in theatres
Actress Anupama Parameswaran, who made her Malayalam debut with Premam and later rose to prominence in Telugu cinema with A Aa, is set to headline a female-centric film titled Paradha. Speaking about the challenges of making such films, Anupama highlighted a growing trend—audiences show interest in watching female-led stories on OTT platforms but are often reluctant to visit theatres for them. 'Commercial viability is a big hurdle,' she explained. 'Many female-centric films end up on OTT because they struggle to draw theatre audiences. But movies like Arundathi and Bhaagmathi proved that such stories can succeed on the big screen. Paradha has everything audiences expect from a good film—it's just led by a female star. I may not have typical hero-style fights, but we have a strong, engaging story.' Anupama stressed that female-led projects must also be presented in a commercial format to survive theatrically. She urged viewers to give Paradha a chance if they hear positive word of mouth. The film's cast includes Darshana Rajendran, Rag Mayur, Sangitha Krish, Rajendra Prasad, and Harsha Vardhan. Produced by Vijay Donkada, Sreenivasulu PV, and Sridhar Makkuva under Ananda Media, it is directed by Praveen Kandregula.
