Aruvi- a heart-touching tale

 Aruvi (2017)


Cast: Aditi Balan, Anjali Varadhan

Director: Arun Prabhu


Synopsis: Aditi stars as Aruvi, a bubbly, enthusiastic girl having a close family who grows to become a sunny, carefree daddy's girl until one fateful incident after which her family shoos her away.



Aruvi is a masterpiece of an out-of-the-box thinker. The social anguish of a rebellious young woman is rightly expressed here. Anjali Varadhan plays exceptionally well. It is a bundle of emotion and joy. One is taken on a roller coaster of life, undoubtedly a bumpy one. It is definitely not happy. It takes us through a journey of compassion, The name Aruvi fits the protagonist's personality and the film perfectly. 


Aruvi is broken but firm, chaotic but calm, brave but fearful, an angel but a devil. 


Aditi Balan is surely the best person to portray this role. Her display of emotions when her doting dad suddenly starts hating her to the core is very realistic. Perhaps no debutant would want a better debut. 

The film is a hit-the-head-hard, thought-provoking one and is very unique too. A highly recommended must-watch for everyone! If you are wanting a sensitive, social film, then this is the right one for you.

Turning Terrific Twelve!

Hi guys! I have crossed yet another milestone! Today, I'm turning twelve! From the time I was in my mother's womb till this very moment, these twelve years have been absolutely exciting and adventurous. The experiences I've had have taught me life's greatest lessons that will always be in my pocket throughout my journey. Turning twelve is often viewed as one of the biggest milestones in a person's life (stepping into tweenhood and much closer to teenage) as it is the last birthday one celebrates as a child and also the first one feeling like a tiny adult! Though I like thinking and planning ahead like an adult would, I still feel, learn and create with the heart of a nine-year-old perhaps. The innocence and creativity of a kid is always greater than the arrogant know-it-all attitude of a teen or adult. I definitely do feel much more matured by thought and response today. I have evolved as a person. Hitting twelve, I suddenly feel so grown up (alm

Baby footprints on time

Hello readers! Here's some really exciting and heartwarming news - Fledgling is turning one! No matter how many things we have done or achieved, those 'first-times' always capture a special place in our hearts. That first-time element is what drove me to write this thoughtful letter to my soul. This post marks one of my most emotional moments, hitting a new milestone with my most cherished partner in this journey, my dear Fledgling. It's been a year since we hatched open, taking a first glimpse of the outside world as soft sunshine peeked in at dawn. Now, before we knew it, we had started flying across the cliffs! It has been an amazing roller-coaster ride this year, definitely not one without potholes and bumps. But the thrill of turning one with something I hadn't even considered urges me to write more and more, as thoughts and feelings gush through. This journey has been a passionate one and we have also remarkably improved over the months of over

Simplicity of truth

Hello everyone! Do you believe in miracles? Well, I didn't until last week. So read on to know my story. Just a couple of days ago, I had my first book fair experience and unexpectedly bumped into some of my favorite authors and orators. My eyes scanned every stall for the novels I had listed the day before and for the posters I had wanted for my bedroom. I did manage to get my hands on a couple of novels at Penguin and many other publications but only after a few hours did the magic happen! Notionpress' contest rush notice somehow caught my eye and I instinctively walked in to enquire on that. That's when I met my now-mentor Ms. Meera Barath, the mind behind Mayaakatha, an engrossing collage of thought bubbles. I had no idea she was an author, so I walked up to her and told her that I was searching for a new writer to explore and whether she could help me find some. That's when she took me to the stand where several copies of Mayaakatha were placed. S
