Tribute to Director Sudha Kongara 637.

Tribute to Director Sudha Kongara Today, I am going to pen a tribute to a versatile director who has made a remarkable impact in a short span of time—none other than Director Sudha Kongara. After completing her education at Women's Christian College, she worked alongside stalwart directors like Mani Ratnam and Bala for several years, which helped shape her craft. Later, she ventured into independent direction, which is truly commendable. With nearly 18 years in the film industry, Sudha Kongara has established herself as a prominent director in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and English cinema. One of her most notable works was the biopic of former Captain Gopinath, inspired by his experiences with Air Deccan, which she brilliantly brought to life in her recent film Soorarai Pottru, starring Suriya. This film not only received critical acclaim but also became a significant achievement in her career. Sudha Kongara has worked with some of the biggest stars and technicians across Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema. Her talent is further evidenced by her winning the Filmfare Award for her Tamil film Irudhi Suttru, starring Madhavan. I have had the privilege of watching two of her films: Irudhi Suttru and Soorarai Pottru. Both films showcase her mastery of technical aspects, especially the cinematography by Siva Kumar Vijayan and Nikith Bommi Reddy, which were exceptional. Soorarai Pottru carried a powerful message that air travel should be accessible to all, and the performances from the cast were remarkable. The film beautifully showcased a blend of actors from various languages, including Paresh Rawal (Hindi), Abirhami (Malayalam), Prakash Belawadi (Kannada), and, of course, the dashing Suriya, alongside the versatile Urvashi, Karunas, and others, making Soorarai Pottru a soaring success. Today, I am proud to pay tribute to this talented director. The film industry has many women directors who have proved their exceptional talents, and Sudha Kongara is certainly one of them. K.

 Letter Published in The National UAE on 12Nov 20  India is proud of Kamala Harris and Americans should be too

I write to you in reference to your article Why Kamala Harris’s suffragette white suit is a beacon of hope for the future (November 9). After a heated race, the results of the American election have finally come out. Americans have decided that Joe Biden will be their 46th president. The government’s failure to curb the spread of the coronavirus, as well as its controversial migration policies, may have led to the downfall of Donald Trump.

The fact that Mr Biden’s running mate is a woman of Indian descent is a matter of great pride for ordinary Indians, given her inspirational story. The people have voted and it is now time to accept the outcome of the elections. It is sad to see that 1.3 billion Indians are more proud of Ms Harris’s success than some Americans who refuse to accept the results of the election. Kudos to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
