Dear Chandramukhi,

I remember watching Devdas and being instantly mesmerized by your character. You were inspired by Meerabai, who committed her life to Lord Krishna, just like you did to Devdas. While everyone pitied Paro - who was forcibly married into an affluent aristocratic family, caged in the lavish mansion - far away from her childhood sweetheart, I was drawn further by your enchantingly melancholic persona - "ek tawaif jogan ban gayi" ( "a courtesan became a devotee"). For a girl who was used for her body all her life in the rangeen kothi (bustling brothel), you were strikingly tethered to your soul.

But when Devdas entered, all bondage of yours was demolished and you finally felt free, only for you to miserably realize that you were just a distraction for Devdas, who loved and shall only ever love Paro. Someone like you was never meant to be truly cared for, that's what they said, it's what Devdas made you feel too in the end, in his own intoxicatingly bittersweet way. You accepted it all nevertheless with a fiercely sweet smile, just like you always had. And you still loved Dev, perhaps you had understood that some things never turn out the way we want them to, but when has that ever stopped us from falling in love? Your only fault that you did so while having been born 'lowly'.

On one day like this, Paro confronted you. Instead of reaping jealousy, you regarded Paro as a kind of Goddess who had the privilege of being showered Devdas's affection, so you bent to touch Paro's feet in deference. And what did Paro do in return? Mock your circumstances and taunt you for coming close to Dev - before complying to befriend you, later on. You had dealt humiliation through your entire life but you chose to suffer the most by Dev's anguish - seeing your love ruined by his love.

Paro and Devdas were eternally each other's souls, but there was no one to make unsung Chandramukhi whole. Paro and Devdas may have ended in tragedy to make us all weep, but Chandramukhi lived her broken tale that our hearts were too heavy to keep...

I wish they were married in real life. Like how aishwarya rai almost married Salman Khan. If I am correct.

Alright, i know this isn’t the kinda post one would expect on my page, but hear me out.

The poster right here is of the Tamil movie that’s releasing tomorrow, “Ponniyin Selvan”. Ponniyin selvan loosely translates to ‘River Cauvery’s son’, and this film is based on the 70 year old, 5 volume novel of Kalki.

Let me explain why this story is so dear to Tamil people, and why Indians should celebrate it just as much as they do the epics such as Ramayana and Mahabharat;

The author of this novel, Ramaswamy Krishnamurthy alias Kalki, was an Indian freedom fighter, who went to jail a few times. This novel, according to him, was a way of reminding Indians that they have a history of their own. Mind you, this is after 200 years of colonialism.

This spectacular novel is based on the Kingdom of the Cholas, and is set in the 9th century which was the peak of the Chola Empire. The story can be classified as a historic fiction, as some of the main characters are fictionalised or even completely made up in order to appease the “outsiders” that is us.

‘Ponniyin selvan’, or the Son of cauvery, is the name given to King Raja Raja Chola I. He has two siblings, Aditya Karikalan, who is the Crown Prince, and his elder sister, Kunthavai (Koon-da-vy) who is the princess of the Chola Empire and basically controlled everything. Their dad, Sundara Chola is the emperor of the Chola Empire but is bed ridden during the time of the story. All the characters I mentioned till now are real people, who have been mentioned in carvings and historic artifacts preserved till this day, but the characters I’m about to write about next are fictionalised characters by Kalki. One might think, since the title of the novel is “Ponniyin Selvan”, it only makes sense that Raja Raja Chola is the main character, but NOH. The main character, the character who travels and whom we travel with, is Vanthiyathevan (Vun-diya-devan). It is important to know that Vanthiyathevan isn’t entirely fictionalised, he is also mentioned in history, but not till the extent of the description given in the novel. Last but not the Least, my personal favourite, Nandini. She invented the word supervillain. I’m serious, the more you read about her, the more you grow to hate and like her at the same time. She’s such an incredibly written character that at times it’s so unbelievable that she’s not actually real. Her thirst for vengeance and power is what sets the course of this entire story.

Now let me give you a brief intro to this story (and try not to spoil anything eee)

Aditya Karikalan (The Crown Prince) sends his good friend and trusted messenger, Vanthiyathevan, to deliver two letters to two members of his family. His father Sundara Chola, and his sister Kunthavai. He also sends him on a mission, to find out what and who is conspiring against him in his homeland, while he’s fighting wars up north.

This journey of Vanthiyathevan, is met with a lot of hurdles and he also meets a lot of people who help him with his tasks such as his old friend Kandhamara, whom Vanthiyathevan previously fought in a battle with, Nambi, who is a staunch believer of Vaishnavism and an absolute mastermind, often wears metaphorical masks around certain people, Chendan Amudhan, who is…an interesting character (that feeling when u really wanna say something but don’t wanna spoil). What forms the plot of the story is How Vanthiyathevan delivers these messages? What is conspiring against Aditya Karikalan? Who is Nandini, and why does she want revenge?

Ok i know that was a bad summary, but i literally could not say anything without spoiling stuff.

So the main reason why I wanted to post about this was because I feel every Indian should know about the rich history of our country and the Chola Empire, which ruled the entirety of India at one point. So I urge all of you to read some background in wikipedia and watch the movie cuz its a pretty damn good story.

Fin.

most relatable character in the movie was Vanthiyadevan, because i too would flirt with every girl in that movie.
