Is there foul play?

Soaked in Bleach (2015)

This documentary dramatised presentation can be best described as a conspiracy theorist's assertion that Kurt Cobain's, the frontman of Nirvana, alleged suicide was no suicide, but a pre-meditated murder by his soon to be ex-wife, a fellow drug junkie, Courtney Love aided by a lackadaisical incompetent police work by the Seattle Police Department. It is based on the works of a private investigator, Tom Grant, who ironically was hired by Love to find Cobain who ran away from a rehabilitative facility. Grant recorded his conversations with his employer when he discovered that she started giving confusing and contradictory instructions to him. He thought its was better to document everything.

For the record, Cobain was said to have pulled the trigger after a lethal dose of heroin and the event was deemed as a suicide. The film aims to show that perhaps Love hired the investigator to help to track down Cobain and with the help of another junkie help to fake a suicide.

The couple was heading to divorce and prenuptial agreement asserts that Love tend to benefit from his death. Through re-creation, the film tries to convince us of their theory.

After all these years, I am surprised that Tom Grant, the investigator, is allowed to go on ranting these accusations. I wonder why Love, living in a litigious society, has not charged him for defamation. After all, the legal process had earlier finalised its investigations and had stated suicide as the cause of death.

Gory historic details or gore fest?

Razakar: The Silent Genocide Of Hyderabad (Telegu, 2024) Director: Yata Satyanarayana In her last major speech before her disposition, Sheikh Hasina accused those who opposed her rule in Bangladesh of being Razakars. The opposition took offence to this term and soon widespread mob throughout the land. Of course, it is not that that single incident brought down an elected government but a culmination of joblessness and unjust reservations for a select population group. In the Bengali psyche, Razakar is a pejorative term meaning traitor or Judas. It was first used during the 1971 Pakistan Civil War. The paramilitary group who were against the then-East Pakistani leader, Majibur Rehman, were pro-West Pakistan. After establishing independence in Bangladesh, Razakars were disbanded, and many ran off to Pakistan. Around the time of Indian independence, turmoil brewed in the princely state of Hyderabad, which had been a province deputed by the Mughals from 1794. The rule of N...

The products of a romantic star of the yesteryear!

Now you see all the children of Gemini Ganesan (of four wives, at least) posing gleefully for the camera after coming from different corners of the world to see the ailing father on his deathbed. They seem to found peace with the contributor of their half of their 46 chromosomes. Sure, growing up must have been hell seeing their respective mothers shedding tears, indulgence in unhealthy activities with one of them falling prey to the curse of the black dog, hating the sight of each step sibling, their respective heartaches all because of the evil done by one man who could not put his raging testesterones under check! Perhaps,the flashing lights and his dizzying heights that his career took clouded his judgement. After all, he was only human... Gems of Gemini Ganesan L-R: Dr Revathi Swaminathan, Narayani Ganesan, Dr Kamala Selvaraj, Rekha, Vijaya Chamundeswari and Dr Jaya Shreedhar.

Chicken's Invite? (Ajak-ajak ayam)

In the Malay lingo, the phrase 'ajak-ajak ayam' refers to an insincere invitation. Of course, many of us invite for courtesy's sake, but then the invitee may think that the invitation is for real! How does anyone know? Inviters and invitees must be smart enough to take the cue that one party may have gatecrashed with ulterior motives, or the other may not want him to join in the first place! Easily twenty years ago, my family was invited to a toddler's birthday party. As my children were toddlers, too, we were requested to come early so that my kids could run around and play in their big compound. And that the host said she would arrange a series of games for them to enjoy. So there we were in the early evening at a house that resembled very little of one immersed in joy and celebration. Instead, we were greeted by a house devoid of activities and no guests. The host was still out shopping her last-minute list, and her helper was knee-deep in her preparations to ...
