Celebrating One Year of the Gabba Breach

One year since the Gabba was breached. Down Underdogs on SonyLiv is a stunning tribute to India's test series win against Australia in Australia 2020-21. The Adelaide Aberration, Melbourne Magic, Sydney Seige and Brisbane Breach are not just 4 episodes but lessons for life. To win with an injury-ravaged Indian side against full-strength Australia in hostile Australian conditions with Smith and Warner coming back was very special.

Virat Kohli - Ravi Shastri's fire. Ajinkya Rahane's ice. Rohit Sharma's presence. Pant's devastation. Pujara's rock block. Bumrah's pace. Ashwin's guile. Gill's plain bat. Vihari's grit. Thakur's all-round effort. Siraj's lion heart. Sundar's confidence. Paine's invitation to Gabba. From 36-all-out to fortress Gabba breached. The series had it all. With all its ups and downs, the series was life itself. No wonder ICC rates it as the greatest test series ever played.

The Virat Kohli 70 in Adelaide, 36/9 all-out horror show, Shami wrist fracture, Virat Kohli leaving for paternity leave, former players predicting a 4-0 whitewash, the rise of Ajinkya Rahane the leader and a calm amidst the storm, Rahane's Melbourne century Masterclass, Pujara being Pujara the headache for Australia, the battle of the greats Ashwin vs Smith, Rishabh Pant replacing Saha, the arrival of Rohit Sharma as an overseas test opener, the arrival of young Shubman Gill, the Pujara-Pant partnership in Sydney, Pant's masterclass 97, the historic Ashwin-Vihari defence blockathon, the Jadeja thumb fracture, the Ashwin back injury, the Vihari hamstring injury and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's abdomen strain. And then it happened. At the Gabba, Australia's fortress - Siraj, Thakur, Saini, Natarajan and Washington Sundar against the intimidating bowling attack of Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins and Nathan Lyon. The Thakur - Sundar 100 runs partnership, Siraj's 5-fer, Shardul Thakur's 4-fer, Gill's 91, Pujara's tiring 56 (211) and then Pant's 89. The Gabba was breached.

Special. Unparalleled. Forever in the hearts of Indian fans. 💙

Geetha Govindam : Inkem Inkem Inkem Kaavaale - The Song of 2 Srirams

This Article is Not a Review of this Movie. I have Expressed My Thoughts on this Movie in this Article. Geetha Govindam (GG) is a Perfect Example for the Effect an Excellent Song can have on a Movie’s Box Office Crowd. Inkem Inkem Inkem Kaavaale, the Fantastic Carnatic Melody created by the Talented Gopi Sundar , sung by the Heavenly Gifted Sid Sriram and written by the Magical Hands of Anantha Sriram gets a Thunderous Arousal in the movie theatre during the opening credits scene when th e Violin part at the Beginning of the Song (True Bliss) starts to play. Visually, GG rides on the Sparkling Chemistry between Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika. The story gives an Equal Importance to both the Male and the Female Protagonists and thus is one of the Highlights of this movie. Vijay Deverakonda looks Comfortable in his Role and carries his Character with much ease. His Transition from the ill-tempered Doctor in Arjun Reddy is Commendable. His “Sorry Madam, Intent

The Vision of 2.0

We watch Movies like Avatar, Transformers, Avengers, The Lord of the Rings made in the West and Feel Overwhelmed by the Grand Scale of Visuals embedded in such Films. When the Indian Audience are used to seeing such Movies on the Big Screen, it is Extremely Difficult for an Indian Filmmaker to step up and give out a film which will be appreciated by the Indian Audience who are well versed with what Hollywood offers. It is SELF CONFIDENCE that drives Directors like Shankar to make a Science Fiction Action like Enthiran or 2.0 and S.S.Rajamouli to make a Fantasy like Eega or an Epic Historical Action like Baahubali. Shankar and Rajamouli are definitely not the ones with the Biggest Ideas and Visions. But their SELF BELIEF that they can Deliver a Good Experience at the Cinema Theatres is one of the Biggest Reasons for their Success. 2.0 was slated for release during Diwali 2017. Since Shankar was not Satisfied with the Visuals of the Giant Eagle Bird that the initial VFX studios
