Youth (2026) Roast

Image
For his directorial debut, Ken Karunas has written himself the kind of role where: Girls confess their love unprompted. Boys start fights over him in corridors. A loyal group of friends gathers around purely to witness his life unfold. Set in the 2014-16 period, Youth follows Praveen (Ken Karunas) from his 10th board results, which he barely scrapes through, to a string of crushes and breakups that feel cheesy and forced. One line review: Youth is part of a "PR template" (referring to filmmaker Pradeep Ranganathan’s style) where toxic behavior is glorified throughout the film only to be "corrected" by a moralizing climax. Why Youth Didn’t Work for Me — Even as Mindless Entertainment I went into Youth expecting nothing more than a dumb, time-pass entertainer. You know the type: school romance, a few jokes, some drama, maybe a redemption arc. I wasn’t expecting realism, depth, or social commentary. The bar was already on the floor. And somehow, the movie still manag...

Male Lust Economy Screws Men - Feminism to the Rescue!

Image
The internet has created a marketplace where the most unusual, even repulsive, items and interactions are sold as luxury products. Driven by loneliness and a craving for intimacy, men are increasingly willing to pay for things that blur the line between fantasy and reality.  This bizarre economy is fueled by patriarchy... and feminism offers a way out. But first, be prepared to cringe... HARD. 🧴 Unusual Physical Items Men Buy Bath Water: Celebrities and influencers have sold soaps infused with their bath water or jars of it for $30 each. Bodily Secretions & Gases: Sweat, “morning dirty breath,” and even farts sealed in jars have found eager buyers, with one seller making over 1.5 crore. Foot Content: A billion-dollar micro market exists for feet—pictures of toes, arches, nail polish, or videos of feet stepping on random objects. I've personally seen Indian men fantasizing about consuming the fecal matter and urine from: Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Mrunal Thakur - they e...

It's 2026 and People are Still Treating Widows Badly

Image
Ever since actress Meena's husband passed away, she's been constantly scrutinized - her every move, judged. Just because she's widowed and a working woman. The timeline: Meena married Vidyasagar in 2009. He passed away in June 2022 after health complications. The news deeply affected her, and the film industry publicly expressed condolences. She is a single mother and has a daughter to raise. So, she continued working in films and appearing at events. That's when things got ugly. One of the biggest issues was false rumors that she was planning to remarry soon after her husband’s death. Some websites and social media posts claimed she would marry another actor. Others linked her name with divorced actors or male colleagues without evidence. In some cases, the rumors appeared very soon after her husband passed away, which she said was extremely painful. Meena responded strongly, saying: “People are still talking about my second marriage… They forget that I have a daughter...

Does Political Leader Vijay Care about Women's Safety?

Image
 For Women's Day 2025, I posted a blog about what's wrong in Vijay's Women's Day Message. Post divorce petition filed by Sangeetha Vijay and his political followers' response to it - proved me right. In his message, Vijay spoke about women's safety, calling women in Tamilnadu his "mothers, sisters, and friends": "Women will only be happy if they are safe - DMK failed in ensuring women's safety." Indeed, DMK failed.  Is TVK any better? Because Vijay failed the mother of his own children. He failed to deliver safety for Sangeetha. And he promised safety for the women of Tamilnadu. I am not taking any sides - but Vijay's lack of action to safeguard the woman who shared life with him for 26 years: Raising their children Supporting his career...  Speaks volumes. Sangeetha is being viciously abused online by the very people who showered her with affection for being Vijay's support system. Suddenly, she's the "boss lady and tr...
