2nd time in recent months the #SupremeCourt has rapped the #KarnatakaHighCourt for passing frivolous orders, first in favour of #KamalHaasan and now against #Darshan who's having a ball in Bangkok!!

#Ronth is engrossing. About a rookie and a 'nothing surprises me' veteran caged in a night patrol jeep it holds a mirror to how we jump to judge people. #DileeshPothan and #RoshanMathew are brilliant as characters carved by circumstances thankfully not reduced to caricatures!!

9yrs of #Kabali.In the '80's Dhanu had told me he'd drop pamphlets from a helicopter the day @rajinikanth gave him call sheets. Well. The hype and expectations that only he could conjure with @airasia. All set to travel with a select few to watch the first show.@theVcreations

#SunilGavaskar has been casting aspersions about the accuracy of the ball tracker in gauging the trajectory, bounce and direction of the cricket ball especially on a pitch with variable bounce!.I totally agree even on flat pitches!!.#ENGvIND .#3rdTEST .#LordsTest.

#KBalachander.It's his 95th birth anniversary.He was the consummate cinematic voyeur of the middle class mindset and their mentality.A 15yrs old impromptu chat after he watched Dashavatharam and visited @ikamalhaasan .I cherish our telephonic conversations.Haven't deleted his no.

Spent an entertaining afternoon with a cousin scouring for a daughter in law. Do you know the expansion for NC and NK?.No cooking. No kids.One girl rejected his son because he didn't ask her out to dinner after a movie. Another because he didn't drink. The conditions are endless!.

#VandeBharat to Chennai was comfy and fast. #Shatabdi while returning was rickety. Ill fitting covers camoulaging soiled hard seats. Carrot sandwich(ugh), masal Vade that could shatter your teeth.Chappathi you need an Axa blade to cut.Paneer swimming in oil.A cup of curd saved us.

That's not really true. Mani did confess with a wry smile that Ramu didn't like his films. Mani didn't like Rangeela but loved Company, calling it gritty and stylish. Ramu earlier did try to make a better caper film than Thiruda Thiruda but failed. #ManiRatnam .@RGVzoomin

#Kuberaa.Absolutely implausible. Emotionally manipulative and vapid this yawnathon bobs along like a rudderless ship on still waters.None of the characters are convincingly etched nor any sequence interesting! #Dhanush tries a Chaplin meets #SwathiMuthyam #ShekarKammula 's worst
