The Night Jasmine

Movie : October(2018) Director : Shoojit Sircar Love.. A word with so many meanings, so many emotions and so many expressions.. Though each one has its own uniqueness.  October was a movie which showed the not-so-popular side of love. The kind of love which was never discussed. An emotion which never got the importance it’s needed.  What Dan felt for Shiuli was love. Yes. But not the kind which we see daily. His love for Shiuli depicted the love between two humans. It may not be romantic. But still, his love was selfless. Why he felt the responsibility to take care of Shuili? Even Dan couldn’t answer this. Still, without any hesitation, he fulfilled his duty. The duty of a person to help another person in need.  Although he needed answers from her, Dan never tried to confront her. When everyone else isolated Shiuli, he felt a responsibility to stand by her side. But eventually both of them started to depending on each other. Even though he tried to pull away, he knew it w...

She is as realistic as anyone could be, with a deep faith, belief and trust in Lord Krishna.. She is not a person to judge anybody upon the talks. Even though she had to work her ass off every single day, she never complained. The only thing she was upset about is that the lack of chances she wants to go to the famous temple near her current residence.

Movie : Vettam (2004) Director : Priyadarshan It’s strange how life goes. No one can predict what will happen next, whom we are going to meet next, who will leave, and who will stay.. But still, it’s that uncertainty what makes life interesting.. Gopi and Veena were never planned to meet. They didn’t even have any mutual link to bring them together. But still they met. But what anticipated to be a goodbye-soon meeting developed into a strong bond. There is a moment when Gopi trying to show that he really care about this bond. His words go like, “എനിക്കും ഉണ്ടെടോ വിഷമം ഒക്കെ, പക്ഷെ പിരിഞ്ഞല്ലേ തീരൂ.. വഴിയിൽ വച്ച് ഒരു മഴയത്ത് എന്റെ കുടക്കീഴിലേക്ക് ഓടിക്കേറിയ ഒരാളാ താൻ..  മഴ തീർന്നപ്പോ.. ok bye, Thanks.. എന്നൊക്കെ പറഞ്ഞ് ഒറ്റപ്പോക്കാ അല്ലെടോ..” (I’m too sad, But we can’t be together.. On the way, on a rainy day, You ran into my umbrella... When the rain stopped.. You are leaving by just saying ok bye, thanks.. Aren’t you!!) Love is just like that..
