and it’s interesting that it was around during ‘accidental’… but I feel akshaye might have looked very young for this role. even as Baru, he had this youthful deposition to him, beyond his portrayal of the personality.

clips: 'taal'. music: "ennai thalatta varuvala" by ilaiyaraaja from the movie 'kadhalukku mariyadhai' (1997).

>"ennai thalaatta varuvalo (will she come and sing for me?)
nenjil poo manjam tharuvalo (will she plant a bed of flowers in my heart?)
thanga theraattam varuvalo (will she come by golden chariot?)
illai yematram tharuvalo (or will she bring me deceit?)

>thathalikum manamae thathai varuvala (with a restless heart, will she come to me?)
mottu idhazh mutham ondru tharuvala." (will she bless me with a flowery kiss?)

obvi all credits go to Pinterest. i had an nsfw tag on this at first but then realized I’ve seen raunchier on here, and i couldn’t see my own post with it because mobile web version of reddit is a real problem-child 🫶

may not be new info, but thought it was interesting 🧐 (source: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movies/news/mahakali-ott-where-to-watch-the-prasanth-varmas-mythological-film-starring-akshaye-khanna-post-theatrical-run/amp\_articleshow/133460603.cms)

total views across all languages on YT is 22,294,000+ so far :D

i don’t mean to beat a dead horse here (unintended ragebait, sorry), but man I think abt this lost (stolen) role at least once a week, and the thought of this movie and of akshaye makes my heart ache. still an amazing movie, but I’ll forever think of our man whenever im reminded of this gem 🥺.

(movie is ‘Taare Zameen Par’)

for us folks who miss chocolate boy era akshaye :)

clips: ‘taal’.

music: “minnalvala” by jakes bejoy from the movie ‘narivetta’.

no joke, Baru is the only reason i ever bought this gray nail polish a couple months ago 💀 (and Shukracharya is the reason I’ll hoard it 🤌)

from “Aashiqui Mein Teri Remix/2.0” of ‘36 China Town’.

cant get over his appearance in the song! i remember finishing this movie with the fam and i had to end the movie before this song was over because my jaw was literally on the floor, and i was blushing like crazy because i wasn’t prepared for him to look this fire onscreen. smth straight out of a softcore film i swear 🫠

Reddit homepage is out to get me istg
