The Chola dynasty of centuries-old saw the rise of popular and determined kings that consolidated lands in southern and eastern India, the Indian Ocean, and even as far as south-east Asia. Their influence was unparalleled at the time, with King Rajaraja Chola I setting up a political, social, cultural, and economic landscape that took the empire through almost a dozen centuries.  But before Rajaraja Chola, there was an internal war for power and control -- and two of its central characters may have been -- Nandini, a mysterious woman that made it to the top of the Chola food chain, and Kundavai, who was the sister of Rajaraja Chola. History, legend, myth, and fiction make the stories around Nandini and Kundavai a bit blurry -- who were they and how did they rise to power? Did they even hold real power, during a time when being born male was paramount to all else? And more importantly… did they even exist?  We bring on board guest Anirudh Kanisetti to help us navigate through the murky waters of Chola history. Anirudh is an Indian historian, author of 'Lords of the Deccan: Southern India from the Chalukyas to the Cholas', and host of 'Echoes of India: A History Podcast', right here on IVM Podcasts network.  About Anirudh: Anirudh Kanisetti is the award-winning author of Lords of the Deccan, a new history of medieval South India.

As part of The Other Banana's efforts to bring in more technicians to the forefront, we have a special episode with a special guest now that Ponniyin Selvan Part 2 is out and the saga is complete. An effort that's achieved great success and more importantly, provided immense satisfaction and joy to experience on screen. Starring Karthi, Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Trisha, Jayam Ravi, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sarath Kumar, Parthiban, Prakash Raj, Rahman and Sobhita among others, the film has music by AR Rahman, cinematography by Ravi Varman, editing by Sreekar Prasad and art direction by Thota Tharani. In this episode, we have the multi hyphenate Krithika Nelson - musician, lyricist, creative producer and director, dubbin artist, associate director, and more. She dubbed for Trisha's Kundavai in the Ponniyin Selvan films, wrote the lyrics of Sol in Part 1 and was also an associate director to Mani Ratnam. She also wrote the lyrics for the soundtrack of the recent film Nitham Oru Vaanam. We spoke to Krithika about her dubbing career, the skill and techniques that it involves, what happens inside and outside the recording studio, and her experience as a dubbing artist for the past several years. We also talk about the production of Ponniyin Selvan films, her work as an associate director to Mani Ratnam, the films' grand scale and what it took to make these two films with the biggest of actors and technicians. Krithika shared with us some great anecdotes from the time of filming, what she looks for in an actor's performance when she dubs for them, how dubbing can be different with different directors. And of course, we also talk about Trisha! Earlier, when Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 released, we had done an episode with sound engineer Anand Krishnamoorthi on his work in the film and also the job of sound engineers, designers and mixers in general. You can check it out here. Participants: Krithika Nelson Aditya Anantha Here's Krithika Nelson's latest independent single Nee Mattum. She wrote the lyrics, composed and sang the song in addition to directing the music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0ivuwuHEWE Aditya's review of Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 and Ponniyin Selvan Part 2. Intro audio from JFW Awards 2023, a recreation of PS 1 scene between Nandini and Kundavai on stage by their respective dubbing artists Deepa Venkat and Krithika Nelson.

A continuation of the blockbuster saga that is Ponniyin Selvan, Part II picks up where the first movie left off - as Prince Arunmozhi Varman (Jayam Ravi) continues on his path towards becoming Emperor Rajaraja I, despite threats to his family. And frankly, more characters than you can shake a stick at. The film also boasts a star-studded cast, including Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, and Karthi, alongside Mani Ratnam's direction and A.R. Rahman's score - so we discuss whether it lives up to the promise of the first film, and does justice to its source material.

Themes of food in literature inspire questions of resistance, cultural memory, gender and identity. This episode titled Khayali Pulao: On Food Writing touches upon food and food politics in Indian writing. Here, it is not merely a marker of identity, but can be a source of joy as well as pain and alienation. Writers Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and Sumana Roy discuss the ways in which food operates to construct nostalgia and to evoke historical and individual memory. Along the way, it can also expose class, caste and gender divides in society. It may mean coming together as family and sharing bonds of sisterhood but fictions about food can also express hunger, poverty, displacement and subsequent marginalization. Roy reads the poem "The Astonishing Smell of Rice" by Birendra Chattopadhyayon which is about hunger and how the refrain is a reminder of circadian rhythms broken by hunger pangs. Divakaruni's writings use food as symbols of diasporic identity and even feminist solidarity. She argues that food can bring about an ethos of feminist empowerment and sisterhood beyond the stereotypes of gender. Both writers come together to engage food in Indian writing across various registers. They highlight the significance of “eating cultures” and also reveal their favorite foods and what they like to cook! Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is an Indian-born American author, poet, and Betty and Gene McDavid Professor of Writing at the University of Houston's Creative Writing Program. Divakaruni started out as a poet and her poetry collections include Black Candle and Leaving Yuba City. Her first collection of stories Arranged Marriage won an American Book Award and a PEN Josephine Miles Award. Her novels include The Mistress of Spices, Sister of My Heart, Queen of Dreams, One Amazing Thing, Palace of Illusions, Oleander Girl and Before We Visit the Goddess. She has also written a young adult fantasy series called The Brotherhood of the Conch which is located in India and draws on the culture and folklore of that region. Divakaruni's work has been published in The Atlantic Monthly and The New Yorker, and her writing has been included in anthologies including the Best American Short Stories, the O. Henry Prize Stories, and the Pushcart Prize anthology. Her fiction has been translated into 29 languages, including Dutch, Hebrew, Indonesian, Bengali, Turkish and Japanese. Divakaruni's novel The Mistress of Spices was made into film of the same name in 2005 starring Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai. and her novel Sister of my Heart was made into a television series by Suhasini Maniratnam in Tamil and aired in India, as Anbulla Snegithiye (Loving Friend). Sumana Roy is an Indian writer and poet. Her works include How I Became a Tree (2017), a work of non-fiction; Missing (2019), a novel; Out of Syllabus (2019), a collection of poems; and My Mother's Lover and Other Stories (2019), a short story collection.

Beauty is a complex thing. It has a million definitions and means something different to everyone. But one thing's for sure: our society is obsessed with it. On this episode we explore why.What even IS beauty? Is it subjective or objective (or both)? Do stereotypically "attractive" people succeed more? Why does beauty take up so much mental space, especially for women? How can we put less emphasis on how we look, while still celebrating our own inherent beauty?While we can't definitively answer these Qs, talking about them feels vulnerable and cathartic. We hope you feel the same listening. And in case anyone hasn't told you today—you're really, really beautiful.Links from this episode:Forbes: The Role Beauty Plays in Success At WorkNew York Times: Why Is Beauty Important to Us?

Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 released a little over a week ago and has taken the box office by storm. A critical and commercial success, the film has attracted a wide demographic to the theatres. Largely due to its source - Kalki R. Krishnamurthy's serialized novel Ponniyin Selvan published in the 1950s, a historical fiction based on the Cholas and the conflicts within and outside the kingdom for the throne. The film, like most Mani Ratnam films, is also an example of technical mastery which is one of the attractions for widespread theatre viewing with almost no one choosing to wait for the streaming release like it is the norm of late. The film is star studded - Karthi, Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Trisha, Jayam Ravi, Jayaram, Sobhita Dhulipala, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sarath Kumar, Parthiban, Prabhu, Lal, Prakash Raj and more. There are stars behind the camera as well apart from the director and writing team (Mani Ratnam, Jeyamohan and Elango Kumaravel). It is edited by Sreekar Prasad, art direction by Thotta Tharani with cinematography by Ravi Varman. Music is by A.R Rahman and sound design by Anand Krishnamoorthi. Foley Artist is Prathap and re-recording mix by Craig Mann. In this episode, we talk about one aspect of the technical mastery - sound design. Sound Designer/Engineer/Editor Anand Krishnamoorthi joins Aditya and Ashoka to talk about the sound of Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 and the nuances in the art of sound design. We talk about sound design in general in cinema as well as the work that has gone into Ponniyin Selvan. Anand gives both eli5 explanations for some aspects of his work and also some nerdy and deeply technical things that go into a film's sound. Listen on.

Next, we saw the brand new teaser for ADIPURUSH (11m40s)starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan as Ram, Sita, and Raavan respectively and… it's quite something. Sujoy and Amrita both watched Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan (18m25s) - I starring Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Karthi, Trisha, Jeyam Ravi, Prakash Raj, Jayaram and many others, and had slightly divergent thoughts while agreeing that it is a cinematic achievement. For those who're unfamiliar with the source material, we've worked out a strategy that you should first read the plot wiki before watching the film, just to keep up with all the characters. And lastly, all three of us watched Vikram Vedha(45m30s) starring Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan, and Radhika Apte. This (very loud) remake of the Tamil movie by its original directors is bound to work better for those who have not seen the version with Vijay Sethupathi and Madhavan. As a bonus, you can hear Asim interview the director duo Gayatri and Pushkar (1h16m20s) and Radhika Apte (1h28m10s)at the end of this episode. Our video interviews are a Patreon exclusive, so if you want to see them, do consider signing up to Khandaan's Patreon page from 1 USD onwards We also announce our first Khandaan London meet up! Sujoy and Asim will be watching Maula Jatt at the O2 Arena- Cineworld afternoon show on Saturday the 15th of October. If you want to join us for the screening and have a drink after, mark the date and let us know!

This week on ‘Has It Aged Well?' Abbas and Urjita are talking about ‘Devdas', and we swear we're doing this sober. Joining them to dissect the Bhansali epic is content creator and SRK junkie: Pulkit Kochar.The trio discusses why the first third of the film is reminiscent of a K-serial, Bhansali's obsession with injuries, does SLB sacrifice progressive values at the cost of authenticity?, whether Madhuri is this film's saving grace, is Chunni Lal representative of that one friend who is a bad influence?, why Devdas features heavily in Shahrukh Khan parodies and most importantly: Was Devdas just an a**hole?For more fun, pop culture stuff from the IVM team subscribe to the IVM Pop feed and also check out our Youtube channel: https://bit.ly/3fa2M66Follow Abbas Momin on twitter: https://twitter.com/AbbasMomin& instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abbasmomin88Follow Urjita Wani on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WaniUrjita& instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urjitawaniFollow Pulkit Kochar on twitter: https://twitter.com/kocharpulkit& instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulkitkocharYou can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the new and improved IVM Podcasts App on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios

In this episode, Likith and Avinash talk about the latest Maniratnam movie "Ponniyin selvan 1" starring Karthi, Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, Trisha, Jayam Ravi, and many others. They talk about their initial thoughts before going into the film and what expectations they had. They give their non-spoiler nonsense opinions for the first 10 odd minutes and then give a spoiler warning for the rest of the episode. They discuss every aspect of the movie starting with characters, music, acting, and many more. They discuss the alternate cast that was initially thought of by Maniratnam when he was almost about to make it in 2010 with Vijay and Mahesh Babu.

Ponniyin Selvan: I is the first in a two-part series, based on a five-volume novel written by Kalki, directed by Mani Ratnam. To know more about the PS: I, here's the full review by Anupama Chopra.

The more experienced writers are aware that the hardest thing to do is to write without trying to be clever. Some writers are born to coruscating prose. And then there are those who can entertain readers without having to use words like...coruscating.My guest today—Chitra Divakaruni— is such a writer.Reading Chitra is like traveling in a car with an excellent suspension—you don't feel the potholes. Or maybe that's because there are no potholes in her prose.Her writing is not only honest, sincere and without artifice, but also vivid. So vivid that film makers seem to be falling about making movies out of everything she writes. The Mistress Of Spices—starring Dylan McDermott and Aishwarya Rai—is one famous example. Sister Of My Heart was turned into a TV show in Tamil called Anbulla Snegitheiye (Beloved Friend).Her stories have been turned into movies, plays, even opera.To say that Chitra Divakaruni's prose is romantic or evocative is to fall to spewing platitudes. What any writer, critic or serious reader of books needs to understand is that Chitra's consistently good writing comes from craft not from a random muse.For that qualification, she is a professor at Houston University teaching creative writing.Her most recent book The Last Queen is a historical account of Rani Jindan, wife of then Maharaja of Punjab, Ranjit Singh and mother of the next Maharaja, Dalip Singh. The book may be categorized as historical fiction but the fiction is in the gaps of the story. The historical account is rich and—I'll say it—evocative.And now it is my pleasure to present one of the best known Indian writers Chitra Divakaruni.ABOUT CHITRA BANERJEE DIVAKARUNIChitra Banerjee Divakaruni is an award-winning author, poet, activist and teacher. She is the author of 20 books including Mistress of Spices, Sister of My Heart, Oleander Girl, Before We Visit the Goddess and Palace of Illusions. Her latest novels are The Forest of Enchantments, a feminist retelling of the epic The Ramayana in the voice of Sita, and The Last Queen, the story of Maharani Jindan, the indomitable queen regent of Punjab who fought the British in many ingenious ways. Divakaruni often writes about contemporary life in America and India, women's experiences, immigration, history, magical realism and mythology.Buy The Last Queen here: https://amzn.to/3QsthShWHAT'S THAT WORD?! - CATCH-22Co-host Pranati "Pea" Madhav joins Ramjee Chandran in the segment "What's That Word?", where they discuss the origins of the phrase "catch-22".WANT TO BE ON THE SHOW?Reach us by mail: theliterarycity@explocity.com or simply, tlc@explocity.com.Or, you can visit: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bangaloreliterarysociety.Or you can go to our Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/explocityblr/.Join our Facebook group, Bangalore Literary Society.

This episode is brought to you by MUBI, a curated streaming service showing exceptional films from around the globe. Every day, MUBI premieres a new film, each one thoughtfully hand-picked. From new directors to award-winners. Beautiful, interesting, incredible movies—there is always something new to discover. After 102 episodes on South Indian cinema, The Other Banana Podcast has finally chanced upon a film by Mani Ratnam. In this episode we discuss Mani Ratnam's polarizing Iruvar - his take on the friendship between the real life figures of MG Ramachandran and M Karunanidhi, two stalwarts of that heady concoction - cinema and politics. We discuss both the aspects of the film - the form and aesthetics, and Mani's depiction of the Dravidian politics and the various characters in its inception and implementation. You can watch the film with subtitles on MUBI. You can try MUBI for a hugely discounted price by signing up on https://mubi.com/theotherbanana or click here. The film stars Mohanlal, Prakash Raj, Aishwarya Rai, Nasser et al. To talk about Iruvar, we are joined by a special guest - writer, researcher, author Suchitra Vijayan who runs the independent research and journalism organization The Polis Project. Her new book Midnight's Borders: A People's History of Modern India came out this year. Participants: Suchitra Vijayan Deepauk Aditya Shrikrishna Episode edited by Anantha You can listen to the episodes referenced in this podcast here: Vada Chennai Andha Naal Music/BGM Courtesy: Iruvar Soundtrack by AR Rahman/Pyramid

A special bonus episode! Just as we were about to despair, we found a copy of Choker Bali, the Aishwarya Rai Tagore movie, and so we sat down to discuss widowhood, tea, novelistic cinematography, and intertexuality. And of course, Pramit takes back any thing bad he ever said about Aishwarya Rai.

In today's episode, we discuss The Big City, get both feisty and political, plus a double biscuit feature! In a particularly irreverant departure, Ayelet demands a feminist remake starring Aishwarya Rai and Melissa McCarthy, and Pramit gets into class dynamics and very full episode synopses - and we both agree that the forgotten heroine of this film is in fact Edith. Oh, Edith.

Overcoming many technical obstacles, Ayelet and Pramit start out frivolously discussing casting options (Aishwarya Rai v. Liam Hemsworth), and conclude seriously by talking about the Abused Goddesses Campaign, mental health, and domestic abuse. In amongst all this, we also manage to take in the biscuit of the week (alfajores), the T20 series, and Megahn Markle.

***This episode was recorded in February 2020*** In the year 2000, SRK and Aishwarya Rai played twins in a movie that is a horrible remake of West Side Story.

In this episode, we read the final chapters of Pride and Prejudice. We talk about the dialogue in the final proposal scene, and more generally about proposals in Jane Austen; Mr Bennet's response to the news, and also Mrs Bennet's; what the final chapter, and James Austen-Leigh's Memoir, tells us about what happens next to the characters; the passing reference to the “restoration of peace”; and how the closing sentence is far less memorable than the opening sentence.  We discuss the character of Mr Bennet, then Ellen talks about some social changes that happened after the book finished , and Harriet looks at how the adaptations finish – with the surprising discovery that a lot of them give the last word to Mr or Mrs Bennet. Things we mention: Books: J.E.
