Young percussion prodigy Vasudevan Marar wins hearts at temple festivals
Vasudevan hails from a family of percussion artists and his grandfather Eswaran Bhaskara Marar was a well-known percussion artist. His father Dileep Kumar and uncle Pradeep Kumar have performed at Thrissur Pooram alongside Kizhakkoottu Aniyan Marar for Thiruvambady Devaswom. Dileep Kumar is an employee at Kanichukulangara Karthyayani Devi Temple and their house is located close to Thiruvizha Mahadeva Temple.
'He used to accompany our troupe for temple festivals during the summer vacation. Now, as the school has reopened he is participating in the melam only on holidays,' said Pradeep Kumar.

A thunderous finale to the National Percussion Festival
The concluding day of the three-day National Percussion Festival on Sunday offered a resounding feast for the senses, leaving percussion enthusiasts thoroughly enthralled. It was an experience that surpassed even the grandeur of Thrissur Pooram as the country's most celebrated percussion maestros converged on a single stage across various sessions. The atmosphere echoed like a thunderstorm of beats, marking a truly unforgettable conclusion to the festival. The final day programmes began with a stunning performance of Pandi Melam by Peruvanam Kuttan Marar and his ensemble. As early as morning, rhythm aficionados began flowing into the Actor Murali Theatre, drawn by the sheer anticipation of experiencing the majestic power of Mr. Marar's artistry. Once the melam began, the entire gallery was engulfed in rhythm. Some of them closed their eyes and sank into deep, meditative immersion, while others could not resist joining the beat, nodding heads, swaying arms, completely absorbed in the pulsating energy. The spectators did not just watch; they felt the performance. The dynamic intensity radiating from the stage reached straight into their hearts. 130 percussionists The power of Pandi Melam lies in its unbridled rawness, what performers describe as a celebration of wilderness through rhythm. The most captivating feature of the Pandi Melam is its use of the 'kolumpal' technique, which magnifies its primal appeal. A total of 130 percussionists joined in, delivering a thunderous performance that left the audience in awe. Another highlight of the final day was a panel discussion titled 'Thaalagopurangal: Rhythm and Cultural History,' held in the Black Box venue. Moderated by N.P. Vijayakrishnan, the session brought together percussion legends across Kerala's major rhythm traditions. On Sunday, the thayambaka performance drew percussion lovers from across the State to the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi grounds, many arriving solely to witness this rhythmic spectacle. Led by Kalloor Ramankutty and his ensemble, the performance unfolded the infinite possibilities of thayambaka, weaving a spellbinding tapestry of rhythm that resonated through the atmosphere. Beginning in a subdued tempo, the pace gradually intensified, culminating in a breathtaking crescendo that left the audience spellbound. Dynamic experience A total of 68 percussionists took part in the performance, under the direction of 22 master percussionists, creating a dynamic and immersive rhythmic experience. The audience responded in unison, not just as spectators, but as co-travellers in a powerful journey through rhythm and tempo. Bhoospandanagal, a Jugalbandhi performed by Sukhad Munde, Tejovrush Joshi and Santhosh Khande drew attention. The festival concluded with a breathtaking performance, Chairman's Symphony, led by akademi chairperson Mattannur Sankarankutty. The National Percussion Festival, organised by the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi, was an unprecedented cultural triumph, said akademi secretary Karivellur Murali. 'Held as a tribute to tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain, the festival, titled 'Thathinthakathom,' made history as the first of its kind percussion-only festival in Kerala. Over 1,000 artistes took part in it, performing in front of a combined audience of nearly 5,000 percussion lovers. Despite being held during the monsoon, every performance unfolded before packed audiences, a testament to the festival's magnetic pull,' he said.

Lawyer seeks list of sacred names from CBFC to avoid using them in film
A Kochi-based lawyer has approached the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), Mumbai, seeking a list of gods, goddesses, and sacred religious names to avoid them while naming the characters in his proposed movie. Hareesh Vasudevan, the lawyer, has sought the list through an application filed by invoking the provisions of the Right to Information Act. The move comes in the wake of the CBFC objecting to the use of the name 'Janaki' for a character in a Malayalam movie, Janaki v/s State of Kerala. The makers of the movie had eventually agreed to add an initial 'V' to the name Janaki as a compromise step to release the film in theatres. Referring to objections raised by the Board, Mr. Vasudevan sought to know the source of information that the Board relied on to identify Janaki as the name of a God. He has sought the 'list of names of goddesses in India' to enable him to avoid using such names in the proposed film depicting a woman as a victim of sexual assault and rape, so that he can 'avoid undermining the dignity and sanctity of such goddesses or their names.' Mr. Vasudevan, who said that he wanted to name a character who commits sexual assault, also sought 'the list of names of gods in India and sacred religious names' so that he could 'avoid naming that character with such names that carry religious sentiments and could undermine the dignity and sanctity of such names or gods.'

3BHK Movie Review: Siddharth's Relentless Pursuit Of A Home Leaves No Room For Joy
Last Updated: 3BHK, directed by Sri Ganesh, depicts a middle-class family led by Vasudevan (Sarathkumar) struggling to buy a house. The film is a series of failures with few joyful moments. 3BHK Movie Review: This is the kind of movie that is made with the certainty that it would strike a chord with the middle class and their struggles. 'Nalla relate aagum" (It would be very relatable) would have been the feedback about the film at every stage of its making. The bet is all on creating the feeling in the viewer that one is seen, heard or represented. By doing so, filmmaker Sri Ganesh portrays the life of the class as nothing but struggle, stripped of any joy, and the viewer feels the same. 3BHK is the story of a father named Vasudevan (Sarathkumar), struggling to buy his own house. However, every time he gets closer to his dream, the finish line moves further. The entire family is on a mission to buy a 3BHK and move out of their rented house in a cramped complex. A chart is stuck on the living room wall with the goal amount for their dream. Vasudevan's son Prabhu (Siddharth) faces financial pressure, making him fail in his academic pursuits. Despite his relentless efforts, he manages to clear his board exams only with 'just pass' marks. A management seat in a reputed engineering college for Prabhu costs the family more years to reach their goal. Then it's a heart attack, then the wedding of Vasudevan's daughter Aarthy (Chaithra), and then something else. By then, we understand the film's intent and where it is heading. 'Future nalla irukum" (The future will be good) – Vasudevan uses this line to justify every decision he takes for his children. Prabhu wants to study mechanical engineering, but his father pushes him into Information Technology because 'future nalla irukum." Aarthy is married into a rich family for the same reason. In the third act, Prabhu cracks and screams at his father to live in the present, which he should have done even before the interval. The running time is the least of the film's problems. It needed a few happy moments to make the sad ones work. It is not suffering that makes life bearable, but happiness, even if it is infinitesimal and sporadic. 3BHK lacks that. We needed to get a bit of Vasudevan's good moments to feel for the bad ones, which is basically the whole movie. Instead, what we get is a series of failures. Even Prabhu's success in landing a job doesn't leave a lasting sense of hope. I wish 3BHK was a social commentary on the obsession with owning a house. It could have been a statement about the paradox of the middle-class dream of buying a home that, in essence, robs one of every other joy: a thesis that Balumahendra's gut-wrenching 1988 film Veedu delivered. But 3BHK ends up as a romantic advertisement of such dreams. All the struggles get romanticised when Vasudevan proclaims that they've 'won the whole city." Looking back at all he has lost in life, the statement begs a question: 'At what cost?" First Published:
