The Chandni of Indian Cinema The Sridevi I know – My fond memorable memories of the Goddess - Sundeep Malani The first time I saw her was… In 1979, when I was a little boy of 8 years old, at Ramakanthi Talkies, Mangalore, when my dad Ramesh Malani who was a film distributor had released the Tamil film Kalyana Raman (starring Kamal Hassan and Sridevi). That film ran for quite some time and all I remember it was I saw it umpteen times and was mesmerized with the performance, beauty and the personality of the actress – Sridevi, who in the film wore half sarees, with lot of flowers on her long hair and sang and danced happily and as also she becomes insane in the second half. Well, that character of hers stuck me forever. And since then from that tender age of 8 years old, I have been a Sridevi fan. The Journey through the growth…. Just adjacent to my house in Attavar Mangalore, I had a neighbor girl by the name Vanila who was of my age in childhood, and she being a Tami...

Synopsis What happens when a traditional religious practice violates the law? This is the central question which the documentary film Santhara addresses. It looks at the tensions that arise and the sparks that fly in such a situation. Particularly in societies which remain largely faith-based despite their outer trappings of profane modernity, the interface of governance and religion is fraught with tensions caused by friction between religiously mandated rituals and practices and the essential legal and constitutional principles of a secular-democratic polity. In India, the incompatibility between law and religious orthodoxy has manifested in several forms, but most dramatically in the case of “religious suicides” — typically where a religious or sectarian tradition endorses the self-extinguishment of human life — as they occur in a legal system that treats suicide as a criminal offence. This documentary film explores the dimensions of the law-religion conflict by focusing on th...
