The Dramatic Arts : Saduranga Parvai

Image
When creating a play, it is difficult to achieve both critical and commercial acclaim; but once you do it becomes even more difficult to do it once again. It’s like lightning striking the same place twice; it is possible, just incredibly rare. After the incredible success of Kaleeshwarabhavanam, with its incredible sets, powerful music and impeccable lighting, the bar was set incredibly high for Koothapiran Navabharath Theaters; and with their newest play Saduranga Parvai they aimed to set the bar even higher. Did they do it? Let’s find out, in this in-depth analysis of Saduranga Parvai. Seeing as how an in-depth analysis is something that I have not done before, I want to preface it by saying that I will be spoiling some details, barring the main twist of the play, as it is its most important component. This is something new I am planning to do with the Drama reviews this year both in an attempt to improve my own writing and also because I believe an in-depth analysis will g...

Ok screw this, I’m just going to come out and say it. Independence Day resurgence is complete and utter garbage. There is your review. Until next time; Peace!!! _ _ _ _ _ _ What are you still here? I just reviewed the whole movie. It is garbage. _ _ _ *Sigh* Fine I’ll go into a bit more detail. But please do not expect my usual format because I don’t have the patience to dissect this movie any further. Independence Day Resurgence is set twenty years after the original movie and it is basically the story of how the aliens come back for another round of ass kicking from America, the greatest country in the history of the universe. I will be the first person to admit that I like bad action movies. But here is the thing, most bad action movies are fun to watch.
