Why koode is a special movie..!

There will be some movies, which we will never forget with time. We keep on remembering some of our favourite scenes. We try to rewatch them. When we rewatch it, we understand some hidden elements, which further makes us love the movie more..!

So, this post is dedicated to sharing some thoughts on the Malayalam movie - "Koode".

(You didn't know about the movie? No problem, please click on the image and enjoy the movie on Hotstar, for free..!!)

**Spoiler Alert**

There will be a discussion of the story plot, so proceed with caution...!

**Back to content**

Josh never cries till the end of the movie:

We can never miss a person if we are never close to a person. Even though Josh loves his sister, he never has very great memories with her. He never talked to her, they never even fought.

Only when he actually 'misses' her near the end, does his heart gets shattered.

'Cha' - it's the word Jenny says when Josh leaves for Dubai:
Jenny says at a later point that 'Cha' is a shortcut notion to call her brother. But at the beginning of the movie, when Josh leaves for Dubai on a train as a kid, Jenny calls him with the same reference.
So, she has been thinking of 'Cha' as a nickname for a long time..!

The movie contains two arcs: of the brother, and of the sister:

It is not just a story of a brother saving her sister, nor a story about a sister saving her brother. By the end of the movie, both stories come to closure - Josh gets back to his childhood love with the help of Jenny; Josh helps Jenny by informing Sean about her feelings.

Not only that, both Josh and Jenny live the life they have been missing - as siblings.

When regret becomes eternal:
Sean, when he realizes that Jenny has health issues, he gets worried. He leaves her because he thinks he may again do something which upsets her health. But, he could never confess his feelings to her. Everything changes suddenly, just like that. She will be no more present with him.
This emotion is greatly portrayed by Sean during the song 'Aarorum'.

Aaroum: a combination of her lyrics, and his tune:
Jenny actually writes a poem for Sean but never be able to give him. But thanks to Josh, Sean gets the poem and reads it.
Similar to the 'Paranne', 'Aarorum' is written by Jenny. Whereas the former reminds the start of the friendship between Jenny and Sean, Aarorum reminds the end.

The best answer ever heard for the question: "What is the final wish?"
When Josh begins to see Jenny, he thinks that Jenny may have some final wish unfulfilled and asks her mother whether she has any final wish. For which, his mother says "She was just 20. Not one, she has a thousand such wishes."
It is a gentle reminder of how people sometimes stop being alive much before death.

Thank you for reading..!
Feel free to share your love for the movie in the comments..!

25 and Disappointed: Can’t we choose simple life?

There’s something strange about the way we live now. It’s not enough to do your job. You have to grow. Climb. Upskill. Network. Earn more. Spend more. Repeat. People areound you - even the ones who seem tired - still say, “Keep pushing.” The ones ahead keep reaching higher. The ones behind are told to catch up. And if you stand still for even a moment, they say you’re wasting time. But no one explains why. Why is a peace a problem? Why is being satisfied with what you have seen as a failure? This idea of “simple life” - it used to be normal. Work. Come home. Cook. Be with the people you love. Rest. Now it’s rare. Or romanticized. Or quietly looked down on. We’re told that success means constant movement. That we need to hustle, or we’ll be left behind. But behind what, really? We’ve normalized the rat race, without asking who started it. And the truth is - only a few can actuallly win it. Most people burn out trying. Others fake their way through it, smiling through st...

25 and Disappointed: The tragedy of leaving home

It’s strange, isn’t it? We live in a world with high-speed internet, 5G, instant messages, Zoom calls and flight tickets that can take us across the country in a few hours. The world has never been more connected. And yet… we’re all so far apart. We are becoming disabled in this tech enabled world. People move away from home more than ever. To study. To work. To “build a future.” Yes, it’s needed sometimes. For learning. For exposure. But often… it seems we are allowing it quietly more than required. Maybe it’s just the system forcing us to. All the jobs are in cities. All the money, infrastructure and “opportunities”. Hence we leave. We leave behind warm meals, evening walks with parents, familiar lanes and families that actually feel like festivals. We leave people who raised us - and see them only on phone calls or during a short visit squeezed between deadlines. For what? For a cubicle in a crowded city, A rented flat that never feels like home, Weekends that vanish in chores,...

Bye-bye strict timetables...! - The Bloggers League 2022

Author: Rama Subrahmanyam (ramasubrahmanyam.m@gmail.com) When we are planning for multi-tasking, we divide our time and allocate it for each task. That is a great thing, as it gives a chance for incremental growth, eventually getting compounded... Scheduling makes us punctual; sometimes forces us to be punctual if someone is counting on us, say an examination, office meeting, so on... Besides strict things, some activities should happen at planned times, like sports, gym, etc. But, we still have things, that can be done in our free time - say reading books, solving puzzles, or learning something of our passion. Should we also maintain the timetable in those cases...? Well, may not be that necessary... We get used to a task at the same time if we have a strict timetable; In a way, can also affect our peace... Suppose due to urgent work, we missed a task - We may develop a bad feeling, ...
