Young percussion prodigy Vasudevan Marar wins hearts at temple festivals
Vasudevan hails from a family of percussion artists and his grandfather Eswaran Bhaskara Marar was a well-known percussion artist. His father Dileep Kumar and uncle Pradeep Kumar have performed at Thrissur Pooram alongside Kizhakkoottu Aniyan Marar for Thiruvambady Devaswom. Dileep Kumar is an employee at Kanichukulangara Karthyayani Devi Temple and their house is located close to Thiruvizha Mahadeva Temple.

3BHK Movie Review: Siddharth starrer coming-of-age drama partly works with mediocre idea of an underdog's success
Siddharth starrer coming-of-age drama 3BHK hit the big screens on July 4, 2025, and opened to generally positive reviews. If you're planning to watch the film on Amazon Prime Video, here's the Pinkvilla review for it. The Plot 3BHK presents the story of Vasudevan, an average Joe who lives with his wife Shanthi and two kids - Prabhu and Aarthi. In his life, Vasudevan only has one big dream, and that is to own a home instead of spending his days in a rented space. Over the years, as Vasudevan inches closer to fulfilling his goal, various aspects get in the way, be it health issues, rising inflation, or something else. Whether Vasudevan fulfills his dream with the help of his son Prabhu becomes the central focus of the story. The Good 3BHK from the beginning itself manages to stand strong as a venture rooted in reality. The film basically aligns with what an average family in Tamil Nadu might have to face to achieve bigger things in life. The dynamics shared by the characters, especially the family members, are held strong because of the brilliant actors. All four of them, namely Sarathkumar, Siddharth, Devayani, and Meetha Raghunath, embed themselves to completely fit the world with nuanced portrayals. The compelling narrative the film offers works partially due to sticking with reality rather than being allowed to follow cinematic tropes. While it may not be as remarkable as Balu Mahendran's Veedu, 3BHK feels like a mirror into reality for many people, especially from the lower-middle-class strata of society. Another fresh perspective the narrative gives is taking the family through a journey of decades to fulfill their dream. While the film isn't without its flaws, it does feel like a genuine attempt at trying to make something profound and feel-good. Coming to the technical aspects of 3BHK, Amrit Ramnath magically weaves musical tracks and background scores that are credible and impressive for the movie. Moving ahead from the legacy of Varshangalkku Shesham's music, the composer manages to be subtle with his skills in an overly saturated world of music, which is generally meant to stimulate the listeners again and again. The cinematography by Dinesh B. Krishnan and Jithin Stanislaus is perfect for the world, needing to be lauded. The Bad 3BHK seems to collectively describe owning a home as the dream of every middle-class person out there. While it may be true for some households, generalizing a single person's dream for every individual in a family seems more like conditioning rather than something genuine. Being rooted in reality, the writer should realize that each person in this world has other dreams too, even if they hail from a middle-class background. While performances by all the actors were commendable and responsible for the film's success, showcasing Siddharth as a school student seemed far-fetched. Finally, while the execution of the drama flick needed some refinement, the editing could have easily reduced the duration of the film and made it tighter for viewers to enjoy. The Performances 3BHK has Siddharth highlighting his strong skills as an actor. While his recent works in Indian 2, Miss You, and Test largely missed the mark, 3BHK manages to redeem him. Moreover, Sarathkumar and Devayani share a beautiful chemistry as husband and wife, maintaining the same dynamics with Siddharth and Meetha as well. Additionally, Chaitra J Achar does a neat job. The Verdict The story of 3BHK does drag at times, but as a whole, the film manages to emotionally connect with various people. With some brilliant performances, the coming-of-age drama is a perfect one-time watch.

A thunderous finale to the National Percussion Festival
The concluding day of the three-day National Percussion Festival on Sunday offered a resounding feast for the senses, leaving percussion enthusiasts thoroughly enthralled. It was an experience that surpassed even the grandeur of Thrissur Pooram as the country's most celebrated percussion maestros converged on a single stage across various sessions. The atmosphere echoed like a thunderstorm of beats, marking a truly unforgettable conclusion to the festival. The final day programmes began with a stunning performance of Pandi Melam by Peruvanam Kuttan Marar and his ensemble. As early as morning, rhythm aficionados began flowing into the Actor Murali Theatre, drawn by the sheer anticipation of experiencing the majestic power of Mr. Marar's artistry. Once the melam began, the entire gallery was engulfed in rhythm. Some of them closed their eyes and sank into deep, meditative immersion, while others could not resist joining the beat, nodding heads, swaying arms, completely absorbed in the pulsating energy. The spectators did not just watch; they felt the performance. The dynamic intensity radiating from the stage reached straight into their hearts. 130 percussionists The power of Pandi Melam lies in its unbridled rawness, what performers describe as a celebration of wilderness through rhythm. The most captivating feature of the Pandi Melam is its use of the 'kolumpal' technique, which magnifies its primal appeal. A total of 130 percussionists joined in, delivering a thunderous performance that left the audience in awe. Another highlight of the final day was a panel discussion titled 'Thaalagopurangal: Rhythm and Cultural History,' held in the Black Box venue. Moderated by N.P. Vijayakrishnan, the session brought together percussion legends across Kerala's major rhythm traditions. On Sunday, the thayambaka performance drew percussion lovers from across the State to the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi grounds, many arriving solely to witness this rhythmic spectacle. Led by Kalloor Ramankutty and his ensemble, the performance unfolded the infinite possibilities of thayambaka, weaving a spellbinding tapestry of rhythm that resonated through the atmosphere. Beginning in a subdued tempo, the pace gradually intensified, culminating in a breathtaking crescendo that left the audience spellbound. Dynamic experience A total of 68 percussionists took part in the performance, under the direction of 22 master percussionists, creating a dynamic and immersive rhythmic experience. The audience responded in unison, not just as spectators, but as co-travellers in a powerful journey through rhythm and tempo. Bhoospandanagal, a Jugalbandhi performed by Sukhad Munde, Tejovrush Joshi and Santhosh Khande drew attention. The festival concluded with a breathtaking performance, Chairman's Symphony, led by akademi chairperson Mattannur Sankarankutty. The National Percussion Festival, organised by the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi, was an unprecedented cultural triumph, said akademi secretary Karivellur Murali. 'Held as a tribute to tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain, the festival, titled 'Thathinthakathom,' made history as the first of its kind percussion-only festival in Kerala. Over 1,000 artistes took part in it, performing in front of a combined audience of nearly 5,000 percussion lovers. Despite being held during the monsoon, every performance unfolded before packed audiences, a testament to the festival's magnetic pull,' he said.
