Parandhu Po trailer: Director Ram set to win hearts with a light-hearted tale of parents' unconditional love

Indian Express27-06-2025
After generating significant buzz at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the much-anticipated Tamil film Parandhu Po, directed by Ram, is all set for its theatrical release on July 4. The makers recently unveiled the film's trailer, which promises a heartwarming and light-hearted narrative.
The trailer opens with a glimpse into a family of three, where the young son is seen attending virtual classes. When he sends a heart emoji to a fellow student, the teacher inquires about the whereabouts of his parents, who are notably absent from home. The boy's extended indoor stay hints at underlying tensions, as the story soon follows the family embarking on a transformative journey together. Through a series of interwoven moments filled with joy, conflict, and self-discovery, Parandhu Po is a tribute to the resilient fathers and mothers who strive to succeed and prove their love to their children.

Parandhu Po, starring Mirchi Shiva, Aju Varghese, Grace Antony, and others, explores the nuanced bond between parents and children. The narrative focuses on a child's yearning for freedom and how this desire gradually inspires the parents to embrace that same spirit of liberation. Fans will be pleased to know that the celebrated collaboration between director Ram and composer Yuvan Shankar Raja continues, though with a slight twist. While Yuvan was initially slated to compose the full soundtrack, his commitments to other major projects limited his contribution to the film's background score. The songs, meanwhile, were composed by Santhosh Dayanidhi.
Director Ram, known for acclaimed films like Katrathu Tamil, Thanga Meengal, Peranbu, and Taramani, brings his signature blend of emotional depth and realism to Parandhu Po. Additionally, the film marks the Tamil debut of popular Malayalam actor Aju Varghese, adding to its cross-industry appeal.

This actress was as beautiful as Sridevi, sacrificed her career for marriage, was betrayed by her husband, name was..., Kamal Haasan was her...

This actress was as beautiful as Sridevi, sacrificed her career for marriage, was betrayed by her husband, name was..., Kamal Haasan was her... Srividya, the renowned Tamil and Malayalam actress of the 70s, entered the entertainment world as a teenager. She was not just a prolific actress, but also a talented Bharatanatyam dancer. With films like Kumara Sambhavam, Tata Manavadu, Apoorva Raagangal, Chottanikkara Amma, and many others, she carved a special place in the hearts of audiences. In 1975, Srividya got a chance to star with Kamal Haasan in K Balachander's film Apoorva Raangaga. During the shooting of the film, Srividya fell in love with Haasan. While she became a leading name in the industry, Kamal was still striving to make a mark in films. Srividya wanted to marry him and settle down. However, Srividya's mother advised the couple to wait and settle in their careers before making a long-term commitment of marriage. But, Kamal wasn't okay with it, and he decided to call the relationship quits. Srividya then moved on with film director Bharathan, who collaborated with her in many films. However, their relationship couldn't continue longer, as Bharathan decided to breakup. Srividya was then left heartbroken and shattered. After two failed relationships, Srividya decided to give love another chance. She dated George Thomas, an assistant director of her Malayalam film, Teekkanal , and got married to him in 1978. Srividya wanted to quit films and focus on her marital duties. However, her husband didn't let her do the same due to financial constraints. Within few months of marriage, Srividya realised marrying George was a mistake. In 1980, Srividya divorce George, and the case regarding their finances went up to the Supreme Court of India. After fighting a long legal battle, Srividya won the case. She left Chennai and moved to Thiruvananthapuram. In 2003, she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. After undergoing three years of treatment, Srividya passed away on October 19, 2006, aged 53.

Meet man who was once a psychiatrist, became a Bollywood superstar, romanced Smita Patil, later turned into iconic villain, his name is...

There are many actors in Bollywood who were either engineers, lawyers, or even doctors before they became actors. A similar story is about B-town's biggest villain, who was once a psychiatrist but then switched his profession to become an actor. While one may think that we are talking about a star of this era, the man in conversation is a star from Bollywood's yesteryears. This Man Was a Psychiatrist Before Becoming an Actor The actor we are discussing today is someone whose skills are not limited to Indian cinema, as there was also a time when he did TV serials and was loved for his roles. If you are wondering who this actor is, then we are talking about none other than Mohan Agashe. Who Is Mohan Agashe? Born on July 23, 1947, Mohan hailed from a small town in Maharashtra. He was born just days before India's independence. From his early days, he was very good at his studies. Mohan also showed interest in writing. He completed his primary and higher education in Pune, where he obtained an MBBS degree from BJ Medical College. At that time, getting an MBBS degree was a big deal. However, after completing his MBBS, Mohan Agashe pursued a post-graduation degree in psychiatry. During his post-graduation studies, his interest grew towards acting. When Mohan Agashe Became an Actor Along with starting his career as a psychiatrist, Mohan Agashe used to act. He has also worked in Marathi, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, and Malayalam films. His acting was well-liked in films across all these languages. Not only that, he also romanced Smita Patil. Smita Patil and Mohan Agashe worked together in the film Jait Re Jait. The duo was praised by the audience, and the movie was highly appreciated by moviegoers. Mohan Agashe Has Worked in AIIMS In 1993, when the earthquake struck Latur in Maharashtra, causing widespread devastation, the Indian Council of Medical Research assigned Mohan Agashe the task of researching the mental impact on the people affected by the earthquake. According to media reports, he has not worked at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). However, he has worked at Pune's BJ Medical College and Sasoon Hospital.

A writer creates a work, but a translator breathes new life into it, says writer Imayam

The task of a writer is to create, while the translator, in turn, breathes new life into it through another language, said Sahitya Akademi award-winning Tamil writer Imayam on on Thursday (July 24, 2025). Mr. Imayam was in conversation with Justice (retired) Prabha Sridevan, former judge of the Madras High Court, who has translated three of his books into English, at The Hindu office in Chennai. Sharing her experience of working with Mr. Imayam, Justice Sridevan said, 'Translating vattara vazhakku (regional dialect) into English is difficult. But Mr. Imayam does not use vattara vazhakku in his writing. His language is unique.' While talking about translating Mr. Imayam's Ippodhu Uyirodirukkiren into the English edition (I'm alive... for now), Justice Sridevan said, 'The story is narrated by a 15-year-old boy. I cannot use words like 'dichotomy' or 'parameters' while translating his voice. I have to be conscious of the kind of words he would have used if he had known English. I cannot use polysyllabic words. The language has to be simple and true to his age and background.' Responding to a question from Justice Sridevan, who asked whether the humour in his otherwise dark and serious stories comes naturally or is consciously added, Mr. Imayam said he does not sit and decide what to include or leave out. 'It is the character that decides, not me. I don't interfere. I simply write what they speak. Once I finish writing, the character leaves me, and I also leave them,' he said. 'Love is the foundation of all my stories,' Mr. Imayam said, while talking about where he draws inspiration for his stories. As society continues to change, it is the duty of a writer to document that transformation. The foremost responsibility of a writer is to keep renewing and reshaping the language through creative evolution, to ensure that the language remains alive and relevant, he said. 'To me, storytelling comes second. Reviving and refreshing the language comes first. That is my identity. In the past two thousand years, many kings and wealthy people have come and gone. Only Tholkappiyar, Thiruvalluvar, and Kambar still live on through their writings,' he added. (This conversation was held as part of The Hindu's Out of Print series with writers)
