Shifting to a few hours earlier, Arjun toiled in his office before receiving a call from his friend Sauresh, urging him to come to the temple for help with a situation involving Sauresh's girlfriend. At the temple, Arjun encountered Keerthi, who was handed her wedding card by her mother.<br /> <br /> Jumping back a few years in [[Vishakhapatnam]], Arjun engaged in a skirmish with Balraju, landing them in the principal's office due to the havoc they wreaked. Here, Arjun's eyes met Keerthi's for the first time, leading to an instantaneous infatuation. Subsequently, Balraju warned Arjun to back off from Keerthi, but Arjun took a proactive step by altering a classroom inscription that professed his affection for Keerthi, believing it to be Balraju's scheme.<br /> <br /> Keerthi thwarted Balraju's affections after Arjun orchestrated a ruse where she pretended to be his girlfriend. On that very day, Arjun confessed his love for Keerthi.<br /> <br /> The subsequent day, Keerthi mysteriously stopped attending college and ceased answering calls. Confused and despondent, Arjun's college attendance and mental well-being plummeted. His father, attempting to console him, advised him to embark on a trip. Meanwhile, Sauresh relocated to [[Hyderabad]] due to his father's transfer.<br /> <br /> Four months later, Arjun abandoned college, dedicating himself to managing his father's car repair shop. It was there that he stumbled upon Keerthi's image on a college pamphlet. In collaboration with Sauresh, he ascertained her whereabouts in [[Hyderabad]] and learned she was studying there. Intent on reuniting with her, Arjun pursued his college education by surmounting his academic setbacks.<br /> <br /> Arjun's journey to [[Hyderabad]] in pursuit of Keerthi unveiled an unexpected truth: Keerthi was already in a relationship with Rahul. Keerthi recounted how Rahul had offered her a Frooti drink when some miscreants snatched hers. She subsequently asked Arjun for money, which he raised by selling his chain, only to discover she intended to gift it to Rahul. She soon returned the money.<br /> <br /> After a breakup with Rahul, Arjun prepared food for Keerthi, offering solace during her difficult time. However, he witnessed Rahul's presence at Keerthi's house and departed, overcome with emotion.<br /> <br /> Following his B.Tech., Arjun faced years of job rejections due to his career gap. During a pub outing with friends, Keerthi, who had been out of contact, called Arjun for a meeting. During their encounter, Keerthi confessed her desire to drink and her recent breakup. Inebriated, she drove in drunken state and vomited in front of a traffic police officer. Arjun brought her to his apartment.<br /> <br /> Arjun expressed his love for Keerthi once more, and in return, she gifted him her late father's ring. While Arjun is in a job interview, he received a call informing him of Keerthi's accident. He left a job interview prematurely to visit Keerthi at the hospital, finding her with minor injuries. His subsequent attempt to reschedule the interview was declined. Keerthi's mother learned of Keerthi's love affair and indicated that Keerthi would only marry him if he had a job. A disagreement ensued between Arjun and Keerthi regarding his choice to prioritize her over his career.<br /> <br /> Overhearing Arjun's conversation with Sauresh, where he expressed regret over reconnecting with Keerthi, Keerthi departed, leaving him in tears.<br /> <br /> In a revealing diary entry, Keerthi confessed that she had been the one to fall in love with Arjun at first sight while seeing him offer a Frooti drink to a schoolgirl at a bus stop. She also admitted to writing the &quot;I Love You Keerthi - Arjun&quot; note on the classroom board.<br /> <br /> In a flashback, Keerthi's initial fondness for Arjun turned into a poignant tale of her father's death by suicide, her family's struggles, and her uncle's coercive intentions. The money she borrowed from Arjun wasn't for Rahul's gift, but to aid the security guard. Keerthi resolved her family's debts and resisted her uncle's plan to marry her to Rahul.<br /> <br /> Arjun, having transformed his attitude, attended Keerthi's wedding with a bouquet containing the ring she had once given him. Upon overhearing their conversation, Keerthi's mother recognized her daughter's true feelings and encouraged her to reunite with Arjun. Consequently, Arjun and Keerthi found their way back to each other's arms.<br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> {{Cast listing|<br /> *Aryan Gowra as Arjun<br /> *[[Mishti Chakraborty]] as Keerthi<br /> *Devi Prasad as Arjun's father<br /> *[[Kalpa Latha]] as Arjun's mother<br /> *Dwaraka as Rahul<br /> *[[Annapurna (actress)|Annapurna]] as grandmother<br /> *[[Sivannarayana Naripeddi]] as principal<br /> *[[C.

The ''Prachi Valley Civilization'' grew in this periphery which traces its inception from [[Stone Age]]. As it is the site of [[Mahanadi River Delta]], it used to be a robust trade route for [[Sadhabas]] for their trade to [[Southeast Asia]].<br /> <br /> Evolution of the name of this place is associated with the deity Mangala. As per the legend, Goddess Mangala kept herself hidden under the deep water of river Prachi. Once a boatman was sailing his boat across river. Due to heavy rain and flood like situation he spent whole night in the middle of river. Just before the dawn, Goddess Mangala came in his dream and asked him to recover her from the water and place her in nearby ''Mangalapur village''. The boatman dived directly into the water and took the idol out from the river. After this the boatman saw a black crow dived into the exact spot where Maa Mangala was recovered and did not come out.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url = https://www.kakatpur.com/maa-mangala-temple/|title = Maa Mangala Temple|publisher = www.kakatpur.com|access-date = 2024-04-07<br /> }}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url = https://magazines.odisha.gov.in/Orissareview/jun2004/englishpdf/kakatpur.pdf&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi5kP2H7q-FAxUH9zgGHVgNDBsQFnoECGoQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw05OlNeCND0zTPe5wFmtAL3|title = Kakatpur Mangala and Batamangala of Puri|publisher = The Orissa Review|access-date = 2024-04-07<br /> }}&lt;/ref&gt; In [[Odia language]], Crow means Kaakaw (କାକ) and Detained means Aw-taw-kaw (ଅଟକ).

Syam came up with the idea for the film based on the time he spent in the village in his twenties. In 2011, he discussed the story with then-assistant director Madhu, who decided to make his directorial debut with it. By 2016, Fahadh and Pothan, both of whom had worked closely with Madhu and Syam on previous films, had agreed to co-produce the film.

Saji's father had married Bonny's mother, who then gave birth to Bobby and Franky. When their father passes away, their mother abandons them to join a religious mission, leaving Saji to be the man of the house. Saji has [[anger management]] issues, and often gets into fights with Bobby, an [[unemployed]] [[Youth|youngster]]. Franky is ashamed of Saji and Bobby but gets along well with Bonny, who is [[muteness|mute]].<br /> <br /> Bobby starts dating Baby, a girl who lives nearby. He eventually proposes to her, but she asks him to talk to her family first. Bobby asks Saji to accompany him, and together they go to meet Shammi, Baby's pompous overbearing and eccentric brother-in-law. Shammi though initially doesn't reject the proposal, ridicules the poor reputation that Bobby's family has among the villagers. Saji tries to console Bobby and asks him to get a job, which he does. Meanwhile, Bonny starts dating Nylah, an [[Americans|American]] tourist who lives at the [[homestay]] run by Baby and her family.<br /> <br /> One day, a fight breaks out between Saji and Franky. Bonny, who is very protective of Franky, hits Saji. Ashamed, Saji leaves the house and takes to drinking with his friend Vijay. In his drunken stupor, Saji tries to [[commit suicide]]. Vijay loses his own life in attempting to save Saji's life.<br /> <br /> As a result of his remorse, Saji goes to Vijay's house to apologise to Vijay's wife Sathi, only to find her in labour. He takes her to the hospital, where she gives birth to a baby girl. Saji takes Sathi and her daughter to his house to care for them. Meanwhile, Bonny has brought home Nylah, who has been removed from her homestay, by Shammi, for inviting Bonny there. Franky is pleased to have the two women in the house, as it gives them some semblance of being a regular family. Bobby even tries to enliven their love lives with suggestions like asking Bonny to take Nylah out to see [[sea sparkle]]'s at night.<br /> <br /> Sometime later at a wedding, Saji approaches Shammi again and asks him to reconsider the proposal, which Shammi flatly refuses. Shammi by then has taken a more active role in Baby's family affairs much to her displeasure. Baby sick and tired of Shammi's intrusion in her family makes up her mind to elope with Bobby. However, Shammi finds out about Baby's plans, and turns abusive and violent. He assaults Baby, her sister and their mother, holding them captive in their own home. When Baby fails to return his calls, Bobby gets anxious and decides to check up on her. Bobby's brothers volunteer to help, and the four arrive at Baby's house. Together, they manage to trap Shammi with a [[fishing net]] and set the women free. Bobby and Baby are finally reunited and get married.<br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> &lt;!--Cast as per the end credits of the film, do not change it--&gt;<br /> {{colbegin}}<br /> * [[Shane Nigam]] as Bobby Napoleon<br /> * [[Soubin Shahir]] as Saji Napoleon<br /> * [[Fahadh Faasil]] as Shammi<br /> * [[Sreenath Bhasi]] as Bonny Napoleon <br /> * [[Mathew Thomas]] as Franky Napoleon<br /> * [[Anna Ben]] as Baby Mol, Bobby's love interest<br /> * [[Grace Antony]] as Simmy, Shammi's wife<br /> * Sooraj Pops as Prasanth, Bobby's friend<br /> * [[Ramesh Thilak]] as Murugan aka Vijay<br /> * Jasmine Mètivier as Nylah<br /> * [[Riya Saira]] as Sumeesha<br /> * [[Baiju Ezhupunna]] as Tony, Baby's and Simmy's Uncle<br /> * [[Sheela Rajkumar]] as Sathi<br /> * [[Ambika Rao]] as Baby and Simmy's Mother<br /> * Ajith Moorkooth as Psychiatrist<br /> * Ansal Palluruthy as Shyju<br /> * [[Dileesh Pothan]] as Police Inspector Raju Unni (Cameo appearance)<br /> * Lali PM as Leelamma, Mother to Bonny Napoleon, Bobby Napoleon &amp; Franky Napoleon <br /> * Poli Sharath as Bar DJ<br /> {{colend}}<br /> <br /> ==Production==<br /> ===Development===<br /> [[File:Kumbalangi-backwater.jpg|right|thumb|alt=Backwaters of Kumbalangi|The village of Kumbalangi, which served as inspiration for the movie]]<br /> Writer [[Syam Pushkaran]] conceived the idea for the film by drawing inspiration from the time he spent with his friends in his twenties in the village of [[Kumbalangi]], which was near his hometown. In telling the story, Syam said he wanted to counter the negative stereotypes about the village and its people. Writing the script took around 5 years, during which time Syam worked on other films as well, but the final draft was completed in around six months. Syam clarified that the film was not based on any real-life incident or person and was a relatively difficult one to write. However, he has stated that the character of Saji was influenced by a man with suicidal tendencies he encountered in his village in his youth.&lt;ref name=&quot;Anand 2019&quot;&gt;{{cite news | last=Nair Anand | first=Shilpa | title=The story of Kumbalangi Nights | newspaper=The Hindu | date=8 February 2019 | url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/scenarist-syam-pushkaran-on-telling-the-story-of-kumbalangi-nights/article26212032.ece | access-date=30 March 2020 | archive-date=21 April 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210421162538/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/scenarist-syam-pushkaran-on-telling-the-story-of-kumbalangi-nights/article26212032.ece | url-status=live }}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|last=Gopalakrishnan|first=Aswathy|title='I've Always Wanted To Write A Family Drama': Screenwriter Syam Pushkaran On 'Kumbalangi Nights'|url=https://silverscreen.in/features/ive-always-wanted-to-write-a-family-drama-screenwriter-syam-pushkaran-on-kumbalangi-nights/|website=Silverscreen.in|access-date=14 February 2019|date=5 February 2019|archive-date=14 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190214233318/https://silverscreen.in/features/ive-always-wanted-to-write-a-family-drama-screenwriter-syam-pushkaran-on-kumbalangi-nights/|url-status=dead}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Mathews 2019&quot;&gt;{{cite news | last=Mathews | first=Anna | title=Inspired by real characters: Writer Syam Pushkaran | website=The Times of India | date=9 February 2019 | url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/inspired-by-real-characters-writer-syam-pushkaran/articleshow/67914725.cms | access-date=30 March 2020 | archive-date=30 March 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200330042831/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/inspired-by-real-characters-writer-syam-pushkaran/articleshow/67914725.cms | url-status=live }}&lt;/ref&gt; In 2011, while he was co-writing ''[[Salt N' Pepper]]'', Syam discussed the idea with its assistant director Madhu C.

As instructed by the state finance department, {{INRConvert|50|c|year=2026}} was placed in the IDFC First Bank account and {{INRConvert|25|c|year=2026}} in the AU Small Finance Bank account. No authority ever approved the use of this money; it was supposed to remain untouched. The suspected fraud came to light in January 2026, when the finance department asked both banks to close the accounts and transfer the full amounts to an [[Axis Bank]] account.&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> AU Small Finance Bank transferred the full amount and closed the account, but at IDFC First Bank, alleged actions by now-arrested employees resulted in only a partial transfer before the account was closed. When government officials checked transaction records, they found that several cheques and debit notes had been used to move money from the IDFC account. These documents appeared to carry forged signatures of a senior [[Indian Administrative Service]] officer, Dusmanta Kumar Behera. The department stated that it does not use cheques for this scheme, only debit notes. In total, over {{INRConvert|46|c|year=2026}} was transferred from IDFC First Bank to AU Small Finance Bank using these questionable instruments.&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The committee also found that transaction alerts were being sent to a mobile number registered to a superintendent in the Panchayats Department, and his statement was recorded. AU Small Finance Bank was described as non-cooperative, and its records showed payments to an unknown entity named ''Swastik Desh Projects.'' IDFC First Bank records also showed unexplained transactions involving other government bodies, raising fears that more accounts may be affected. The committee concluded that the case involves forgery and serious procedural lapses by officials of both banks and recommended a full investigation by the state police.&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |last=Mathew |first=George |date=2026-02-23 |title=IDFC First Bank’s Rs 590-crore fraud: Why it highlights governance lapses |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-economics/idfc-first-banks-rs-590-crore-10546960/ |access-date=2026-02-25 |website=[[The Indian Express]] |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Police findings ===<br /> According to police press briefing on 25 February 2026, the fraud was allegedly led by former IDFC First Bank manager Ribhav Rishi.

As the wife of Rear Admiral [[Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma]], she served as the last [[vicereine of India]] during the reign of [[George VI]] and became a close relative by marriage of the [[British royal family]]. She was appointed a [[Commander of the Order of the British Empire]] in 1943 and a [[Dame Commander of the Royal Victorian Order]] in 1946 for her work with the [[St John Ambulance Brigade]] and the [[British Red Cross]] during [[World War II]].<br /> <br /> ==Early life==<br /> [[File:Edwina Mountbatten and her mother.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Edwina with her mother circa 1907]]<br /> Edwina Cynthia Annette Ashley was born on 28 November 1901,&lt;ref&gt;GRO Register of Births: MAR 1902 1a 434 ST GEO HAN SQ = London&lt;/ref&gt; the elder daughter of &lt;!-- Not a member of the House of Lords until 1932, or of the House of Commons until 1906. --&gt;[[Wilfrid Ashley, 1st Baron Mount Temple|Wilfrid Ashley]], later 1st Baron Mount Temple, and Amalia Mary Maud Cassel (1880–1911).&lt;ref&gt;Janet Morgan, ''Edwina Mountbatten: A Life of Her Own'' (1991).&lt;/ref&gt; Her younger sister was &lt;!-- Only gained the title on her marriage to Thomas Cholmondeley, 4th Baron Delamere in 1944. --&gt;[[Mary Cholmondeley, Lady Delamere|Mary Ashley]] (Lady Delamere).

Her mother was the only child of the international financier [[Sir]] [[Ernest Cassel]] (1852–1921), a close friend and private adviser to the future [[King Edward VII]]. Cassel born in [[Cologne]], Prussia, to a Jewish family, became one of the wealthiest and most influential men in Europe.<br /> <br /> Following her mother's death and her father's remarriage to [[Molly Forbes-Sempill]] (formerly the wife of Rear-Admiral [[Arthur Forbes-Sempill]]), Edwina was sent to [[boarding schools]], first the Links in Eastbourne and later Alde House in Suffolk. She disliked both establishments. Alongside a strained relationship with her stepmother, she was [[bullied]] because her grandfather was rich, German, and Jewish.

They sought parliamentary approval to amend the trust's restrictive terms, arguing that their extensive programme of public duties placed an exceptional burden on their private resources. The resulting &quot;''Mountbatten Estate Bill''&quot; was introduced in 1949. During committee hearings, Edwina's representative, Sir Walter Monckton KC, noted that she had enjoyed a post‑tax income of about £40,000 before the war.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news |title=Mountbatten Bill in Lords |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=London |date=8 April 1949 |page=5 |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-daily-telegraph-mountbatten-bill-in/181030921/ |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=14 September 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The valuation of Edwina's trust fund was handled separately from her personal estate, with the trustees responsible for paying tax from the trust's assets; unlike her personal fortune, probate of the trust was not required to be published.&lt;ref name=&quot;DT1960-03-17-p13&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Second World War==<br /> After the outbreak of the [[Second World War]], Edwina travelled to the United States, where she expressed gratitude for the fundraising efforts undertaken on behalf of the [[British Red Cross]] and [[St John Ambulance Brigade]]. In 1942, she was appointed Superintendent‑in‑Chief of the St John Ambulance Brigade, a role in which she served extensively. In 1945, she assisted in the repatriation of prisoners of war in [[Southeast Asia]]. She was appointed [[Order of the British Empire|CBE]] in 1943 and advanced to [[Dame Commander of the Royal Victorian Order]] (DCVO) in 1946.

[[Jawaharlal Nehru]] and Mountbatten linked arms and pushed through the crowd to help her. The incident led to the three dining together, and, as Mountbatten later recalled, they &quot;talked about everything under the sun&quot;, marking the beginning of their friendship. <br /> <br /> Shortly afterwards, Mountbatten was appointed the last [[Viceroy of India]]. Edwina served as the final [[vicereine]] during the closing months of the [[British Raj]] and the first months of the [[Partition of India|post‑Partition]] period (February 1947 to June 1948), when Mountbatten became [[Governor-General of India]], though not of the [[Dominion of Pakistan]].&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book |last=Dalrymple |first=Sam |author-link=Sam Dalrymple (historian) |title=Shattered Lands Five Partitions and the Making of Modern Asia |publisher=HarperCollins |year=2025 |isbn=978-93-6989-485-7 |edition=1st}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> From 28 October 1947 she was styled ''Countess Mountbatten of Burma'', following her husband's elevation to an [[earldom]].

Upon release, the film received negative reviews from critics, with criticism on the story, screenplay, cast performances and direction.

He has at his beck and call a faithful array of female followers, including his staff, friends and former girlfriends, who will do anything for him. The film starts with a robbery carried out by four criminals, and they decide on their next target in a wedding hall. They enter the wedding place as Casanovva's guests. Casanovva recognises them but allows them to attend the marriage function, having some plan in his mind. The young criminals (Alexi, Salim, Arjun, and Kiran) take some photos of their targeted rich persons and collect their details. Casanovva watches all this and does not respond at the moment.<br /> <br /> The next day is the wedding ceremony. Casanovva, with the aid of his friend in a TV channel (without revealing his plan), plans a live telecast programme to capture the four criminals' robbery. But unfortunately, the wedding is postponed due to some unexpected reasons. Thus the robbers pull out from their plan. But within this time the TV channel people come for the telecast. Suddenly Casanovva gets an idea and announces a new live romance reality show through the channel named ''FALL IN LOVE''. Then he creates some plans to make the two people in the robbery gang fall in love with Hanna and Ann Mary and telecast their love scenes using hidden cameras through the live reality show ''FALL IN LOVE''. Hanna falls for one of the young robbers by hearing the words of Casanovva, who was her boss. The four robbers try to steal a sword, but casanovva (wearing a mask on his face) interrupts them and takes the sword from them. By this time, the TV show had become popular and caused some problems for Ann Mary, the robbers and even Hanna. Hanna asks her boss Casanovva what his plan was. So Casanovva reveals his flashback to Hanna.<br /> <br /> Some years ago, Casanovva came to Dubai and romanced some girls. Zacariah, who is a magazine reporter, publishes the stories of Casanovva and him mingling with girls. Sameera Zacharia, daughter of Zachariah, helps Casanovva from a danger, and eventually they become friends. During a meeting with Casanovva on the last day of his holiday in Dubai, Sameera falls for him and believes his feelings for her are also real. But when Casanovva returns to Europe, he again starts to flirt with ladies and forgets Sameera, who is still waiting for Casanovva. Next year Casanovva again came to Dubai for holiday. This time an angry and jealous Sameera decided to make Casanovva feel the tension and pain that she had gone through the past year because of Casanovva's flirtatious life. Sameera lies to him that she has a lover, which made Casanovva jealous. Casanovva is surprised by Sameera's nature and realises that she is different from other women with whom he had relations. Gradually Casanovva understands that he has some different feelings for Sameera than for other women. He realises that he is in love with her. She also has a love interest in Casanovva. But her father requests Casanovva to leave his daughter. He replies that he was in love with his daughter. Casanovva calls Sameera for a meeting to reveal his love to her. On the day, at A Big Fair in Dubai, Sameera wears a mask to give Casanovva a surprise. But suddenly four robbers rush to the road with the same mask as Sameera. The police try to capture them. The four robbers escape, and Sameera is caught by the police. And one of the robbers shoots Sameera, and she dies at the spot. Casanovva waits for her and returns to his room depressed. On the way, he sees the four robbers escaping in a car. But at that time he had no idea about the incident that had happened. He is informed of the death of Sameera by TV news in his room. He rushes to the police to tell about the robbers. But they don't listen to Casanovva. Here ends the flashback.<br /> <br /> He says to Hanna that the aim of the reality show was to make the robbers understand about the feeling of love. He then captures the robbers and makes them explain that Sameera was not their gang member to the public through the TV show. Thus Casanovva succeeds in showing the innocence of his lover Sameera to the public and police. Then he asks the robbers who killed Sameera. They reveal that it was nobody else but Alexi. Alexi reveals that he killed Sameera, and when she got arrested, he thought that she was one of his gang and that she would reveal their plan to the police. Soon after, revealing the truth, the police arrive at the place. Alexi runs away, and Casanova follows him. Casanovva kills Alexi with a gun, thereby avenging Sameera's death, and surrenders to the police.<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> {{colbegin}}<br /> * [[Mohanlal]] as Casanovva<br /> * [[Shriya Saran]] as Sameera Zacharia <br /> * [[Raai Laxmi]] as Hannah<br /> * [[Vikramjeet Virk]] as Alexi<br /> * [[Roma Asrani]] as Ann Mary<br /> * [[Sanjjana]] as Nidhi<br /> * [[Abhishek Vinod]] as Arjun<br /> * [[Arjun Nandhakumar]] as Kishore<br /> * Shahid Shamzy as Saleem<br /> * [[Jagathi Sreekumar]] as Luka<br /> * [[Andria D'Souza]] as Mariam Thomas<br /> * [[Lalu Alex]] as Zachariah<br /> * [[Shankar Panicker]] as Ajay<br /> * [[Riyaz Khan]] as Joseph<br /> * Sagar S Nair as Super model<br /> * Dimple Rose as Rose<br /> * Shilpa Bala<br /> {{colend}}<br /> <br /> ==Production==<br /> The film's production was launched at Confident Cascade in [[Bangalore]] on 24 January 2009.

Shiva gave him one of the twelve Jyotirlingams to take back with him to Lanka, with the condition that if it were placed on the ground it would take root immediately. Varuna the God of water, entered Ravana's belly, and caused him to feel the need to relieve himself. Vishnu then came down in the form of a lad and volunteered to hold the Jyotirlingam as he relieved himself. But before Ravana could return, the young lad placed the Jyotirlingam on the ground to which it became rooted. A disappointed Ravana offered severe penances to Shiva here, and cut off nine of his heads as a part of his repentance. Shiva revived him and joined the heads to the body, like a Vaidya or a &quot;physician&quot;, and hence, this Jyotirlingam goes by the name Vaidyanath.<br /> <br /> == Service==<br /> <br /> The 18449/Puri Baidyanathdham Express has an average speed of 48&amp;nbsp;km/h and covers 932&amp;nbsp;km in 19h 35m.

Prater represented the [[Anglo-Indian]] and domiciled British community in the [[Bombay Legislative Assembly]] from 1937 to 1947.&lt;ref name=sali&gt;Ali, Salim. 1960. &quot;Stanley Henry Prater.&quot; ''Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society'', '''57'''(3):637-642.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Early life==<br /> Prater was born in the [[The Nilgiris District|Nilgiris]] ([[southern India]]) where his father, William Prater, was a coffee planter. As a student of St Mary's High School, Bombay, he spent his school holidays in the [[Western Ghats]]—experiences that led to a burgeoning interest in natural history. He joined the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) in 1907. Prater developed his intimate knowledge of the mammals of the [[Indian subcontinent]] during the Society's Mammal Survey (1911–1923), during which he was also grievously wounded when he was accidentally shot in the thigh.<br /> <br /> ==Curator and editor==<br /> In 1923, he became the curator of the BNHS and the Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, positions he held for 25 years.&lt;ref name=sali/&gt; The same year, Prater traveled to [[Great Britain]] to train in modern taxidermy. Four years later he traveled to the [[American Museum of Natural History]] in [[New York City]] and the [[Field Museum of Natural History]] in [[Chicago]], to learn about techniques of natural history exhibition, knowledge that he brought to bear in the Prince of Wales Museum displays of the next two decades.<br /> <br /> During the last 25 years his tenure at BNHS, Prater became executive editor of ''Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society''. Among his notable innovations in this position was the series &quot;Wildlife Preservation in India,&quot; which appeared in the journal in 1935, and which did much to publicize the problems of conservation in India. The journal gained much of its international reputation during Prater's stewardship. Another enduring contribution from this time was his book, ''The book of Indian Animals'', published in 1948. The book remains in print, now in its third edition.&lt;ref&gt;Prater, S.H. 1948, 1971. ''The book of Indian Animals'' (with 28 colour plates by Paul Barruel).

In 1948, after India's independence, he represented the Anglo-Indian community in the [[Indian Constituent Assembly]] in the early deliberations about the [[Constitution of India]].&lt;ref name=sali/&gt; However, soon thereafter, he and his family decided to emigrate to Great Britain.&lt;ref&gt;Ali, Salim. 1985.

The journal played an early role in the development of organized rationalist thought in [[Kerala|Kerala, India]]. Its launch is commonly associated with the emergence of organized rationalism in the state, which later formed part of Kerala’s wider social reform movements.<br /> <br /> == History and profile ==<br /> ''Yukthivadi'' started its publication in August 1929 from [[Ernakulam]] under the editorial board of M. Ramavarma Thampan, [[Mithavaadi Krishnan|C. Krishnan]], [[C. V. Kunhiraman]], [[Sahodaran Ayyappan]] and [[M.C. Joseph]].&lt;ref name=rat&gt;{{cite web|title=Sahodharan Ayyappan and rationalism|url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/4181/10/10_chapter%204.pdf|work=Shodhganga|access-date=29 July 2015}}&lt;/ref&gt; In a statement published in the first issue of ''Yukthivadi'', Sahodaran K. Ayyappan wrote:<br /> :''Rationalism is not a religion. It is an attitude to accept knowledge based upon reason. ''Yukthivadi'' will attempt to generate such an attitude amongst the people. To do this, we will have to criticize irrational faiths and propagate rational knowledge. Since ''Yukthivadi'' does not believe in any ultimate knowledge, it will not hesitate to correct itself based upon the latest information and knowledge. Every rationalist is bound to do so. The only maxim that ''Yukthivadi'' accepts as unchangeable is that the knowledge should be based upon reason''.<br /> <br /> Despite the fact that all the members of editorial board were well known social activists, the conservative Kerala welcomed its publication with expected derision. Prominent figures including [[Moorkoth Kumaran]] did not hesitate to pen a poem denigrating the publishers. Not surprisingly, a meeting of a religious sect passed a resolution cursing the publishers of ''Yukthivadi''!<br /> <br /> In August 1931 M.C.Joseph became its sole editor-publisher and shifted the publication to [[Irinjalakkuda]]. For the next forty five years until June 1974 M.C.Joseph brought out the magazine without any interruption. In July 1974, because of his failing health (he was 87 then), he handed over the magazine to Unni Kakkanad, who published it for yet another decade before it ceased publication.&lt;sup&gt;[[#Notes|1]]&lt;/sup&gt;<br /> <br /> The vibrant rationalist movement that is seen in Kerala today is undoubtedly the direct consequence of the ideas spread by ''Yukthivadi'' for more than half a century.{{Citation needed|date=January 2026}} <br /> &lt;!-- Unsourced image removed: [[File:Cvkunhiraman.jpg|thumb|align=left|100px|C.V.Kunhiraman]] --&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Mithavaadi]]<br /> * [[Sahodaran]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> # An attempt was made in the 1990s by the late [[C.G.Jayashankar]], a [[Trissur]] based rationalist activist, to revive the magazine.

It was characterized by a conflict between [[Safdar Jang|Safdarjung]], the [[Nawab of Awadh|Nawab of Oudh]], and the Mughal emperor [[Ahmad Shah Bahadur]], alongside his court factions.<br /> <br /> ==Background==<br /> Tensions between Safdarjung and [[Intizam-ud-Daulah]], another prominent noble, had been escalating since March 1753. Emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur lacked the authority to control these powerful nobles. Although the emperor and his mother initially ordered Safdarjung to return to his governorship in [[Oudh]], Safdarjung delayed his departure. Eventually, on 26 March 1753, he left [[Delhi]] but, instead of returning to Oudh, set up camp just outside the city with his army. Safdarjung wavered between allying with the emperor or taking action against him.<br /> <br /> For a time, both sides hesitated to act, but Safdarjung's position shifted after receiving reinforcements from [[Suraj Mal]], the Jat ruler, and Salabat Khan. Gaining confidence, Safdarjung encouraged the [[Jats]] to loot [[Old Delhi]].&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book |last=Hasan |first=M. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NbUB_ACAR5QC&amp;pg=PA521 |title=HISTORY OF ISLAM (2 Vol. Set) |publisher=Adam Publishers |year=2002 |isbn=978-8-174-3-50190}}&lt;/ref&gt; On 9 May 1753, the Jats plundered the city, burning several areas. Many civilians fled to the fortified New Delhi, while the Jats extracted [[lakh]]s of rupees from the city's outskirts.&lt;ref name=&quot;JP&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In response, on 13 May 1753, Ahmad Shah Bahadur dismissed Safdarjung as Wazir (prime minister) and appointed Intizam-ud-Daulah in his place, with [[Imad-ul-Mulk]] as [[Bakhshi (Mughal Empire)|Mir Bakshi]] (chief military officer). Safdarjung retaliated by declaring a eunuch as a rival emperor under the name Akbar Ādilshāh and appointing himself as Wazir and Sarbuland Khan as Mir Bakshi.&lt;ref name=&quot;JP&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Battle==<br /> Between 9 May and 4 June 1753, numerous skirmishes took place, largely favoring Safdarjung. However, the arrival of [[Najib ad-Dawlah|Najib Khan]] and his [[Rohillas|Rohilla]] forces to aid the emperor changed the tide. A significant assault on Delhi's walls on 5 June failed, marking the beginning of Safdarjung's decline. By 7 November, Safdarjung had suffered several defeats and was pushed back to [[Ballabgarh]].<br /> <br /> One of the pivotal moments for Safdarjung was the death of his favored general, Rajendra Gossain, from a musket shot. Devastated, Safdarjung refused to enter the battlefield personally, which demoralized his troops. The Jats and [[Qizilbash]]es on Safdarjung's side continued to fight against the [[Marathas]] and the imperial forces, but the morale of his men weakened, leading to defections to the emperor's camp.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, the emperor received reinforcements from several regional rulers, and the Marathas exploited the situation by attacking Safdarjung's rear, looting his camp. Suraj Mal, recognizing the deteriorating situation, entered negotiations with Intizam-ud-Daulah. Desperate for peace, Ahmad Shah Bahadur sought the assistance of Sawai [[Madho Singh I|Madho Singh]] of [[Jaipur]]. Madho Singh successfully mediated a peace treaty between the emperor and Safdarjung. As a reward, the emperor granted Madho Singh the fort and district of [[Ranthambore Fort|Ranthambore]].<br /> <br /> Safdarjung and the other warlords eventually left the capital. However, the conflict left the emperor financially strained, contributing to his eventual dethronement six months later.&lt;ref name=&quot;JP&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Aftermath==<br /> The rebellion had severe financial consequences for the Mughal Empire. The emperor's army and its allies, numbering around 80,000 troops, cost the imperial treasury approximately 24 lakh rupees per month. The prolonged conflict, which lasted seven months, left the emperor indebted by 1 [[crore]] and 68 lakhs. Additionally, the imperial forces had not been paid for two years, and the emperor was only able to raise two lakhs by selling his personal jewelry.&lt;ref name=&quot;JP&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Following the rebellion, Imad-ul-Mulk, the de facto ruler of Delhi, sought assistance from the Marathas and orchestrated an attack on Jat territory.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |author=Poonam Sagar |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Av9HAAAAMAAJ |title=Maratha Policy Towards Northern India |publisher=Meenakshi Prakashan |year=1993 |pages=380}}&lt;/ref&gt; In January 1754, the Marathas, led by [[Raghunath Rao]], alongside Mughal forces, [[Battle of Kumher|laid siege to the Kumher Fort]], ruled by Suraj Mal. Despite a strong resistance from Suraj Mal, the Marathas failed to capture the fort and eventually accepted 30 lakh rupees as compensation. Furthermore, Imad-ul-Mulk and Raghunath Rao extorted an additional two crores from Suraj Mal, which they had promised to deliver to the emperor as Peshkash (tribute).&lt;ref name=&quot;JS&quot;&gt;{{Cite book |last=Sarkar |first=Jadunath |url= |title=Fall of the Mughal Empire:vol one |publisher=Orient Black Swan |year=2007 |pages=326 |quote=Surajmal, too, professed the deepest sorrow for this issue of war and sent mourning robes for Malhar and Khande's son....the siege of Kumher dragged on for four months. At last in the middle of May, peace was made, Rupram, on behalf of his master, gave a written bond to pay the Marathas 30 lakhs by installments over three years. In addition to this, the two krores which had been previously imposed by Imad as peshkash due from the Jat rajah to the emperor, was now agreed to be paid to Imad and the Marathas instead. So the siege ended, Imad left on 18th May and Raghunath Rao on the 22nd, and both came to Mathura.}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |author=Pratik gupta |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vqYiBAAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA64 |title=Maratha Generals and Personalities: A gist of great personalities of Marathas |publisher=Pratik gupta |year=2014 |pages=190}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Battle of Kumher|Battle of Kumher (1754)]]<br /> * [[Battle of Delhi (1764)]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [https://www.britannica.com/biography/Suraj-Mal Suraj Mal] at ''[[Britannica]]''<br /> <br /> [[Category:Conflicts in 1753|Delhi 1753]]<br /> [[Category:1757 in India]]<br /> [[Category:18th century in Delhi]]<br /> [[Category:Military history of Delhi|Delhi 1753]]<br /> [[Category:1750s in the Mughal Empire]]<br /> [[Category:Battles involving the Jats]]</div>

Common foods include [[baguettes]] and [[croissants]] with coffee for breakfast, [[ratatouille]], [[coq au vin]], [[bouillabaisse]], which all show their French heritage or South Indian meals such as [[masala dosa]], [[Sambar (dish)|sambar]] or [[idly|idli]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.tourmyindia.com/states/puducherry/cuisine.html |title=Cuisine of Pondicherry |author=&lt;!--Not stated--&gt; |date= |website=Tour my India.com |publisher= |access-date=4 November 2019 |quote=}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=musafir&gt;{{cite web |url= https://in.musafir.com/Blog/what-the-french-left-behind-in-pondicherry-food.aspx|title= What the French left behind in Pondicherry: Food|author=&lt;!--Not stated--&gt; |date= |website=musafir.com |publisher= |access-date=4 November 2019 |quote=}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==French influence==<br /> While a French colony, the local cuisine was downplayed. &quot;Leaving aside the food of the Indian class, which does most of the time consist of boiled rice seasoned with a scanty patch of grass or fish, we will provide only some details about the European diet.

[[Salade niçoise]], crêpes (both sweet and savoury) and [[crème brûlée]] are among popular French dishes still prepared in Pondicherry.&lt;ref name=musafir/&gt; Multiple French restaurants are located in the area, including bakeries, cafés, seafood restaurants and traditional French restaurants.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |url=https://food.ndtv.com/lists/the-foodie-extravagance-10-restaurants-in-pondicherry-you-must-visit-1201033 |title=The Foodie Extravagance: 10 Restaurants in Pondicherry You Must Visit |last=Nandy |first=Priyadarshini |date=16 March 2018 |website=ndtv.com |publisher= |access-date=4 November 2019 |quote=}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> There was also much cross-pollination between Pondicherry and South Asia and Vietnam (both were under French control) as people travelled between these two locations for business, for administration and as part of the armed forces.

Dosas made like crepes with meat and cheese instead of masala are an example. Chaiyos (a kind of Vietnamese spring roll made from rice flour) also appear in local restaurants. Vindaloo is different than in Goa (a result of the area’s Portuguese past). Prawn malay curry also shows influence from South East Asia.&lt;ref name=hindutimes/&gt;<br /> Pondicherrian Fish Assad Curry, a coconut-milk-laden curry, flavoured with anise and curry leaves and finished with a squeeze of lime is a &quot;quintessential&quot; local dish. Bouillabaisse morphed into Meen Puyabaise with turmeric to suit the French palate. With the passage of time, local creole dishes have slowly begun to fade from restaurants in Pondicherry, with some older residents attempting to keep these dishes alive by offering classes in their homes on how to prepare them.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |url= https://www.indiamike.com/india/indian-cooking-and-cuisine-f12/as-pondicherry-s-creole-food-fades-from-restaurants-t273210/#post2122717 |title= As Pondicherry’s Creole food fades from restaurants |last=Aarosh |first= |date=3 April 2019 |website=indiamike.com |publisher= |access-date=4 November 2019 |quote=}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> {{Portal|India|Food}}<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Indian cuisine by state or union territory|Pondicherry]]<br /> [[Category:Culture of Puducherry]]</div>
