#SuFromSo has been seen and savoured.A delicious, charming take on small town folks blind beliefs the crackling narrative is packed with unforgettable characters. It has every ingredient in the recipe for a potboiler but in the right proportion leaving you asking for some more!.

#KFI is famous for asking for 'Protsaha' from the public and multiplexes. Rangi Taranga did well alongside box-office behemoth #Bahubali. It's heartening to see the jump in no. of screens for #SuFromSo while kitsch starring a legends grandson is struggling. Content is king!!

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.

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
