''Kotee'' was released on 14 June 2024 to mixed-to-positive reviews from critics.

== Plot ==
The story follows Kotee (Dhananjaya), a lower-middle-class man who runs a small packers-and-movers business and doubles as a cab driver to support his family. His household includes his mother (Tara), his sister Mahathi (Thanuja Venkatesh), and his younger brother Nachchi (Pruthvi Shamanur). Despite financial struggles, Kotee is principled and avoids taking loans.

However, unforeseen circumstances—some deliberately engineered by Dinoo Saavkaar (Ramesh Indira), a ruthless local gangster—force Kotee to borrow money. What begins as a small loan spirals into a crushing debt of ₹31 lakh, trapping him in Saavkaar's web. Saavkaar soon discovers Kotee's hidden talent: exceptional shooting skills. Exploiting this, he offers Kotee a way out—commit a murder in exchange for clearing his debt. This proposition shakes Kotee's moral foundation. Torn between his principles and the survival of his family, Kotee faces an impossible choice: kill or be killed.

As the tension escalates, Kotee navigates the dark underworld of Janatha City, encountering betrayal, violence, and emotional turmoil. His relationship with Navami (Moksha Kushal) adds a layer of vulnerability, contrasting the grim reality of his predicament. The narrative also highlights his mother's silent suffering and resilience, adding emotional depth to the story.<ref name=":0" />

== Early life and education ==
Pranjal Patil was born on 1 April 1988 in Wadaji, [[Jalgaon]], [[Maharashtra]], to Lahen Singh B. Patil and Jyothi Patil. She lost her vision completely by the age of six due to a progressive eye condition. She was diagnosed in 1994 and by 1995 Mrs. Patil was totally blind.<ref>{{Cite web |last=T |first=Anilkumar |date=2018-05-30 |title=Visually impaired Assistant Collector wins against all odds |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2018/May/30/visually-impaired-assistant-collector-wins-against-all-odds-1821158.html |access-date=2025-02-17 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

Despite these challenges, her parents prioritized her education, enrolling her in Smt. Kamla Mehta School for the Blind in Dadar, Mumbai. Her teachers appreciated her as a very studious and intelligent girl. She studied at the Chandibai Himatlal Manshukhani College in Ullhasnagar. Pranjal excelled academically, achieving 85% in her Class 12 examinations and topping the Arts section at Chandibai College.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Visually Impaired Girl Cracks UPSC in First Attempt.

After graduating from high school, she earned a degree in Political Science from [[St. Xavier's College, Mumbai]]. Later, in her constant quest for learning, Mrs. Patil moved to [[New Delhi]], where she pursued postgraduate studies and obtained a master's degree in [[International relations|International Relations]], an [[MPhil]], and a PhD from [[Jawaharlal Nehru University|Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU)]], [[Delhi]] in International Relations.<ref>{{Cite web |title=A Vision Beyond Sight: Know Pranjal Patil Success Journey To Becoming Indias First Visually Impaired Female IAS Officer |url=https://zeenews.india.com/india/a-vision-beyond-sight-know-pranjal-patil-success-journey-to-becoming-indias-first-visually-impaired-female-ias-officer-2765400.html |access-date=2025-02-17 |website=Zee News |language=en}}</ref>

While training at the university, she frequently traveled by train and received assistance from terminal staff and daily commuters. This experience heightened her awareness of the [[civil service]]'s significance and the role of an educated society, where individuals willingly help those in need.<ref>{{Cite web |title=First IAS visually impaired lady takes charge as a Sub-Collector of Thiruvananthapuram. |url=https://bookofachievers.com/articles/braving-all-challenges-visually-impaired-ias-officer-takes-charge-as-a-sub-collector#:~:text=The%20formative%20years,exposure%20to%20the%20sun's%20rays. |access-date=2025-02-17 |website=BookOfAchievers |language=en-IN}}</ref>

She was subsequently assigned to the Post and Telecommunications Department, at a lower rank than the first position. To achieve the position, she deserved by merit she had to fight against bureaucracy, met with ministers and even made statements in the press. As a result, Railway Minister [[Suresh Prabhu]] promised to give her a job commensurate with her qualifications.

Undeterred, she continued her pursuit and was appointed to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in 2017.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Public ER Sheet_Supremo |url=https://supremo.nic.in/ERSheetHtml.aspx?OffIDErhtml=MzMyNTM=&PageId= |access-date=2025-02-17 |website=supremo.nic.in}}</ref> She commenced her IAS career as an Assistant Collector in [[Ernakulam]], [[Kerala]], in 2018.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Visually impaired IAS officer takes charge - a first in Kerala |url=https://www.onmanorama.com/lifestyle/women/2018/05/30/visually-impaired-ias-officer-takes-charge-a-first-in-kerala.html |access-date=2025-02-17 |website=OnManorama}}</ref> Subsequently, she served as the Sub-Collector of [[Thiruvananthapuram]] and later as the [[District magistrate|District Magistrate of Ernakulam]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-06-04 |title=Ernakulam's new Assistant Collector is country's first visually challenged woman IAS officer |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/ernakulams-new-assistant-collector-is-countrys-first-visually-challenged-woman-ias-officer-5203670/ |access-date=2025-02-17 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=कोतकर |first=प्रशांत |date=2017-06-01 |title=प्रांजल पाटील देशातील 'पहिली' दृष्टिहीन विद्यार्थिनी जिल्हाधिकारी |url=https://www.esakal.com/uttar-maharashtra/nashik-news-pranjal-patil-passed-upsc-exam-49326 |access-date=2025-02-17 |website=Marathi News Esakal |language=Mr}}</ref> As of 2023, she holds the position of Additional Director ([[Public administration|Administration]]) in the Directorate of Education, Delhi.

'''Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā''' was a form of [[Hindus|Hindu]] [[tantra|tantric]] [[Vaishnavism]] focused on [[Radha Krishna]] worship that specifically developed in [[Bengal]].<ref>Young, Mary (2014). ''The Baul Tradition: Sahaj Vision East and West,'' pp. 27-30. SCB Distributors.</ref><ref name=":3">Hayes, Glen A.

''Alternative Krishnas: Regional and Vernacular Variations on a Hindu Deity'', p. 19. SUNY Press.</ref> Oral tradition has it that this sect originated from the last surviving followers of [[Vajrayana]] (numbering around 1200 men & 1300 women) who converted to [[Gaudiya Vaishnavism]] as a result of the preaching of Virachandra (aka Virabhadra) Goswami, the son of [[Chaitanya Mahaprabhu]]'s associate [[Nityananda]], following the [[Decline of Buddhism in the Indian subcontinent|decline of Buddhism]] due to the [[Bengal Sultanate|Islamic conquest of Bengal]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=লোকসম্প্রদায় - বাংলাপিডিয়া |url=https://bn.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC |access-date=2025-06-24 |website=bn.banglapedia.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Sri Paritosh Das |first=M. A. |url=http://archive.org/details/SahajiyaCultOfBengal |title=Sahajiya Cult Of Bengal And Panca Sakha Cult Of Orissa |date=1988}}</ref> The Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā tradition produced many great poets who wrote in the [[Bengali language]], the most famous of these poets all wrote under the pen name [[Chandidas]] (a name used by various authors).<ref name=":1">Young, Mary (2014). ''The Baul Tradition: Sahaj Vision East and West,'' pp. 27-36. SCB Distributors.</ref><ref name=":3" /> Their religious literature was mainly written in Bengali vernacular.<ref name=":1" />

Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā used the romance between [[Krishna]] and [[Radha]] as a metaphor for union with the innate or primordial condition (the Sahaja) present in everyone. They sought to experience that union through its physical reenactment in tantric ritual. To this end, Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā often made use of sexual intercourse in their tantric sadhanas. Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās understood Krishna as being the inner cosmic form (''svarupa'') of every man and likewise Radha was seen as the inner form of women.<ref>Beck, Guy L. (2012). ''Alternative Krishnas: Regional and Vernacular Variations on a Hindu Deity'', p. 20. SUNY Press.</ref>

The Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā tradition was deeply influenced by [[Bhakti movement]] and its poets (such as [[Jayadeva]]).<ref>Young, Mary (2014). ''The Baul Tradition: Sahaj Vision East and West,'' p. 36. SCB Distributors.</ref> They were also deeply influenced by the Vajrayana idea known as "[[Sahaja]]" and made use of tantric sexuality ([[Karmamudrā|''karmamudra'']]).<ref name=":0">Young, Mary (2014). ''The Baul Tradition: Sahaj Vision East and West,'' pp. 27-30. SCB Distributors.</ref> From the Bengali Vaishnavas, Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā adopted the devotion to Radha Krishna and its understanding of ''bhava'' (feeling) and [[Rasa (aesthetics)|''rasa'']] (flavor). From the Buddhists, they adopted the theory of [[Śūnyatā|emptiness]] (shunyata) and tantric [[deity yoga]] and sexuality.<ref name=":0" />

The Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā tradition also influenced the [[Baul|Baul tradition]] of Bengal.<ref name=":1" /> The Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā tradition does not survive as a living lineage today with an unbroken connection to the medieval gurus. However, its influences can be found in some modern Bengal Hindu tantrikas who claim to be Sahajiyās.<ref name=":3" />

== Teachings ==

Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā synthesized Vajrayana with Gaudiya Vaishnavism.<ref name=":0" /> Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās held that the erotic ([[sringara]]) flavor of devotion was the superior rasa of divine love.<ref name=":1" /> As such, a central practice in their tradition was sexual yoga, which they held re-enacted the divine love between Radha and Krishna and allowed them to taste the flavor ([[Rasa (theology)|rasa]]) of the [[Prem (Hinduism)|divine love]] through their own personal experience. This is possible because all men and women are incarnations of God.<ref name=":1" /> Sexual sadhana was said to be able to transform desire (kama) into pure divine love (prema).<ref name=":1" />

According to Glen A. Hayes, Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā was influenced by the tantric traditions which focused on psycho-physical yoga and emphasized "the correspondence between the human body as a microcosm (miniature universe) and the universe as a macrocosm (large universe)." Since they held that the human body was connected with the larger universe in a divine manner, one could control the bodies energies (including sexual energies) and through this one could access divine cosmic forces and attain the highest reality.<ref name=":3" />

The whole process of sexual yoga was held to be difficult and to require years of preparatory practices which included meditation, breathing exercises, and chanting all of which culminated in the practice of tantric sex (sambhoga). In this sexual rite, the man was [[Coitus reservatus|not supposed to ejaculate]], but instead he must absorb the mixed sexual fluids into his body and move them up the central mystical channel ([[Nadi (yoga)|nadi]]). Through the practice of sambhoga, it was held that the couple could "return to the unity of the together-born state of sahaja - the absolute state prior to and beyond creation."<ref name=":3" />
While the system of Gaudiya Vaishnavism is strictly theistic, seeing god as a supreme person, the Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās saw Krishna as the true form (svarupa) which dwells inside all males (and Radha was likewise in all women). Thus, in Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā, Krishna and Radha are cosmic forces that are embodied in all beings. As such, Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā was a [[Monism|monistic]] system.<ref name=":3" />

The Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā tradition included numerous female gurus, in contrast to many other Hindu tantric traditions. They also held that liberation could not be achieved without cooperating with a member of the opposite sex.<ref name=":3" />

While physical sexual sadhana was an important element of Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā, it was not the only practice and worship of the deity and guru were also central to Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā yoga.<ref name=":1" /> Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā yoga could be practiced individually (through visualizing the deity and other yogic practices) as well as with a partner.<ref name=":1" /> Furthermore, the Sahajiyās also made use of classic bhakti practices such as [[kirtan]] and chanting the names of Krishna as a way to intensify their feelings of love and devotion for Krishna.<ref name=":3" />

Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās believed that Gaudiya Vaiṣṇava masters like [[Chaitanya Mahaprabhu|Chaitanya]] and [[Jayadeva]] had practiced sexual sahaja sadhana. They also believed that the [[The Buddha|Buddha]] himself had also practiced this tantric method with his consort [[Yaśodharā|Gopa]].<ref name=":0" />

Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās believed that human beings were a microcosm of the whole universe. As such, men and women are personifications of the supreme being ([[Brahman]]). As such as our divinity is naturally innate (the literal meaning of 'sahaja').<ref name=":1" /> For the Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās, the greatest quality of this natural divinity is pure love (prema) and their religion focused on awakening and supporting this innate divine love.<ref name=":1" />

According to the Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā text entitled ''Ratnasara'': <blockquote>All lives are created as a result of the union of the male and female elements, and so are human beings also. Under a favorable opportunity, God comes in the human body with all His natural characteristics, and the new form is nothing but a modified image of God...However transformed man may be by virtue of his birth, the divine element in him cannot remain concealed, and those who manifest this divine character to its fullest extent are called...by the term Sahaja.<ref>Bose, M.M. (1986). ''The Post-Chaitanya Sahajiya Cult of Bengal,'' pp. 213-214. Gian Publishing House.</ref></blockquote>The Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās believed that God's love manifested as the whole universe, which includes our very bodies as well love (prema) and lust ([[kama]]). For the Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās, Krishna was associated with consciousness or the [[purusha]] while Radha was associated with [[prakriti]] or the material world. In Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā, the interactions between consciousness and matter is the play ([[Lila (Hinduism)|lila]]) of God.<ref name=":1" />

Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā practices also often involved breaking social norms, including those relating to caste.<ref name=":3" /> Because of their antinomian and erotic methods (which were viewed with suspicion by many), the Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās operated in secrecy.<ref name=":3" /> In their literature they adopted a cryptic tantric language known as "[[Twilight language|intentional language]]" (Sanskrit: ''saṃdhyā-bhāṣā''). For example, semen could be referred to with the term "rasa" (which can mean juice, like sugarcane juice).<ref name=":3" />

There are also right-handed and left-handed Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās: ''[[dakṣiṇācāra]]'' may be rendered into English as "right (''dakshina'') ritual (''chara'')", while ''vāmācāra'' may be rendered into English as "left (''vama'') ritual (''chara'')". The ''dakshinacharyas'' ("right practitioners") are the ones that practice the ''[[panchamakara]]'' ('Five Ms') symbolically or through substitutions, whilst the vāmācāras ("left practitioners") are the ones that practice it literally (using meat, fish etc.)

==Poetry==
{{Vaishnavism}}
Poem-songs (''padavalis'') were very important to the Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā tradition.<ref name=":3" /> Most of these poems deal with devotion, yoga, meditation, mystical experience and divine love. These poems would often be sung to music.<ref name=":3" />

The most famous poet of the Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās was [[Chandidas]] (Caṇḍidāsa).<ref name=":2">Dasgupta, Shashibhusan (1946, 1969 third edition, 1976 reprint). ''Obscure Religious Cults''. Firma KLM Private Limited: Calcutta, India. Sarasvati Printing Press, p.114.</ref> Other key figures include [[Vidyapati|Vidyāpati]], Caitanya-dāsa, [[Rupa Goswami|Rupa]], [[Sanatana Goswami|Sanatana]], Vrndavana Dasa (author of [[Chaitanya Bhagavata]]), [[Krishnadasa Kaviraja]], [[Narahari Sarkar]], and Mukundadasa.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":1" />

=== Poems attributed to "Caṇḍidāsa" ===
Chandidas or Caṇḍidāsa ({{langx|bn|চন্ডীদাস}}; born 1408 CE, whose name means "servant of the furious goddess") refers to possibly more than one medieval poet of [[Bengal]]. Over 1250 poems related to the love of [[Radha]] and [[Krishna]] in [[Bengali language|Bengali]] with the signature line (''bhanita'') of a "Chandidas" have survived. These are attributed to "Chandidas", which may appear alone or along with three different other sobriquets: ''{{IAST|Baḍu}}'', ''Dvija'' and ''Dina.'' But it is likely that these poems were written by numerous hands who then attributed the poems to the widespread Sahajiyā pen name "Chandidas".<ref name=":3" />

One such poem attributed to Chandidas is the following, which speaks of the inner person (i.e. Krishna):<ref name=":3" />
:Everyone is talking about the inner person (manusa), the inner person;
:But what kind of being is the inner person?
:The inner person is a jewel. The inner person is life itself.
:The inner person is the treasure of the vital breaths (prana).
:All the world's people are deluded by errors and confusion.
:They do not understand the true inner meaning (marma) of life.
:The divine love (prema) of the inner person does not usually appear in the earthly realm,
:but only through the inner person can people experience divine love.
:Those people who experience the inner person are the inner person,
:because the inner person recognizes the inner person.
:These people and the inner person seem to exist separately,
:yet it is the inner person who realizes the inner person.
:Those who experience the inner person are dead-yet-alive.
:They have become the very essence of that inner person.
:Initial experiences of the inner person are signs of great good fortune.
:The inner person is on the far shores of experience.
:Chanting the name of the inner person leads to a separate mystical place.
:Distinct from this world, it has its own customs.
:Chandidasa says: Everything about it is distinct.
:Who can fathom its customs?

Another poem speaks in cryptic language about sexual yoga ("rasa" refers to sexual fluids, "whirlpool" and "churning" refers to the movements of sex):<ref name=":3" />
:The mystic was born in the sea of divine juice (rasa).
:To whom will I speak about that divine juice?
:By whom and where was it cultivated? Who tasted it?
:Who is able to speak about it?
:The essence of the nectar of immortality (amiya) is named "divine juice."
:The divine juice flows in three streams.
:The experience of divine juice is eternally renewed.
:Who has the power to understand this?
:The treasure trove of nectar is churned without stopping.
:Divine juice is produced by that churning.
:That woman who is called "faithful to her husband" (pativrata) is devoted to the nectar.
:Through the motions of her husband, divine juice is made.
:The sweetness of divine juice overwhelms everything.
:Who has the power to understand this?
:This divine juice is very rare, the most extraordinary thing of all.
:Within it is the inner person (manuqa) who controls reality.
:Chandidasa says: Most difficult to obtain indeed is the divine juice of the inner person.
:In mere conversation about it, suffering and fear are destroyed.
:Among everything, it is the juiciest of all.

=== Vidyāpati ===
A sahajiya poem of attributed to the [[Maithili language|Maithili]] poet Vidyāpati (1352? - 1448?) is rendered into English by David R. Kinsley (1975: p. 48-49) thus:
:As I near the bed, he smiles and gazes.
:Flower-arrows fill the world.
:The sport of love, its glow and luxuries are indescribable, O friend,
:And when I yield myself, his joy is endless.
:Freeing my skirt, he snatches at my garland.
:My downcast mind Is freed of frontiers,
:Though my life is held in the net of his love.
:He drinks my lips.
:With heart so thrilled, he take my clothes away.
:I lose my body at his touch and long to check
:But grant his love.
:Says Vidyāpati: Sweet as honey is the talk of a girl in love.<ref>Kinsley, David R. (1975).

=== Siddha Mukundadeva ===
Along with short poems, longer Esoteric Manuals were also written. The most important of these were those of Siddha Mukundadeva ("The Perfected Divine one who Gives Liberation", c. 1600-1650).<ref name=":3" /> He composed a major work entitled "The Collection of Liberating Statements of Mukunda" (''Mukunda muktavali'') in Sanskrit. This was later translated into Bengali.<ref name=":3" />

''The Necklace of Immortality'' is another key work of Mukundadeva or Mukundadasa. The text described the path of the Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā tradition.<ref name=":1" />

''The Necklace of Immortality'' describes the initial steps of the path as beginning with finding a mantric guru:<ref name=":1" /><blockquote>

13) Divine Love for Krishna is always pure, it is never stained. Get rid of the [[Vedas]] and never perform any Vedic rituals! 14) The first step on the path is to seek refuge at the place of the mantra guru. Ordinary physical birth is from a womb, but this only results in old age and hell! 15) When you are accepted by the guru you will be sheltered by the power of the mantra. Keep the instructions of the guru close to your heart. 16) With great care, the guru who has initiated you with the mantra will guide your practices. You must continue to follow these instructions for as long as you practice. 17) One of those commands is that you associate with a special community of practitioners. Through following such instructions, you will reach the state of consciousness of the Divine Existence. </blockquote>''The Necklace'' then describes how the body is transformed through sexual sadhana:<ref name=":1" /><blockquote>27) A Divine Body (devadeha) must be born within the physical body. So how many men and women come to know that they possess a Divine Body? 28) With effort, you will discover the Divine Body within the physical body... 29) By performing ritual practices with a woman, the Divine Body will be discovered within the physical body. A woman who has realized her divine inner nature should server as the passionate Female Partner. 34) The blessed Inner Damsel Body leads the adept to the [[Braj|Vraja]] heaven. With her body of eternity, she helps the adept to master the passions. 35) Without her, you'll never taste the passion-filled Cosmic Substances of the Vraja heaven. For adepts seeking Vraja, she is the very essence of the way of passion. 37) The Female Partner who is imbued with Divine Love shimmers with erotic energies, and is herself a well of Divine Essence. Having a splendid body like Radha, she is the well of both Divine Essence and Cosmic Substance.</blockquote>

== Manuscripts ==
[[Shashibhusan Dasgupta]] (1946, 1962: p. 131) holds that there are two hundred and fifty "manuscripts of small texts" in the [[Calcutta University]] which are associated with the Sahajiya, and that there is a comparable number of manuscripts held in common with Calcutta University in the library of the Bangīya-sāhitya-pariṣad.<ref>Dasgupta, Shashibhusan (1946, 1962 revised). ''Obscure Religious Cults as a Background to Bengali Literature''. NB: First edition entitled: Obscure religious cults as background of Bengali literature Calcutta : Firma K.L. Mukhopadhyay, p.131.</ref> [[Wendy Doniger]] (1989: p.xxii) in the Forward to Dimock (1989) affirms that [[The Asiatic Society in Calcutta]] holds a large collection of manuscripts and also states that "...the number of manuscripts in private libraries is indefinite but almost certainly huge."<ref>{{cite book |last=Dimock |first=Edward C. Jr. |title=The Place of the Hidden Moon: Erotic Mysticism in the Vaisnava-Sahajiya cult of Bengal |publisher=University of Chicago Press |year=1966}}</ref>

== Criticism and opposition ==
Due to their religious use of sexual intercourse, Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā was seen as scandalous and controversial by many in the Bengali community, who were quite conservative when it came to sexuality and caste.<ref name=":3" /> From the point of view of the more orthodox [[Gaudiya Vaishnavism|Gaudiya Vaishnava]] tradition, Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā is generally considered a heterodox apostate path ([[Sampradaya|asampradaya]]) as well as a [[Vamachara|left-hand path]] ('vāmācāra'). The modern Vaisnava guru [[Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati]] strongly opposed the Sahajiya practice on the grounds that a soul cannot be promoted to the status of [[Radha]] or her expansions.<ref>{{Cite book |title=A Ray of Vishnu: The Biography of a Saktyavesa |last=Dasa |first=Rupa Vilasa |series=Lives of the Vaisnava Acaryas |volume=1 |publisher=New Jaipur Pr |year=1988|isbn=978-0-923519-01-8 |pages=18–19 }}</ref>

==Plot==
{{Long plot|date=July 2024}}
The film begins with a guy called Manorath “Mann” Mehra video interviewing some people for a job. He gives them the job description and they ask how much the salary is. He replies saying nothing which leaves them all shocked. They question him and he says there are many people who do this job for nothing in this world, our mothers. They all praise their mothers and agree that mothers are the ones who do this job and that too for free.

He goes home to a proud mother who begins telling him about her mother Bharti who does nothing but work and look after the family. The story moves on to Mumbai where Bharti is singing and living a happy life with her family. Turns out that she is just dreaming and that her family treat her like a maid, they give her no importance and mock her ways. The maid is the only one in the house who appreciates and sees what this mother does. She prays to god asking him to do right by her as she always thinks good for her family.

Mann reaches Mumbai and is on the streets taking part in a celebration. He arrives at his grandmothers. He wears a mask and knocks on the door, the maid opens the door and he chases her. Bharti comes out and immediately remembers his childhood when he would chase the maid wearing a similar mask. He goes to the temple with her and sees a girl dancing called Riya, who he befriends. Soon he sees the way the rest of the family treat her and decides to bring a change. He takes the help of Riya and gets Bharti dressed up in many different ways and clicks pictures of each pose. He shows these photos to the family who are shocked and angry. They ask him to leave and return to America and scold Bharti.

Mann has arranged for a professional to come and interview Bharti for acting and modelling. Her husband refuses and stops her. The professional happens to know her from childhood and with the help of Aman explains to her that she needs to make her place in this house. Her husband attempts to snatch and rip the contract papers, but she stops him and agrees to the modelling.

She starts her modelling and the family becomes lost. They argue as they cannot handle the household chores as well as the responsibility of each other. Mann pays the maid to leave until Bharti returns so that the family realise her worth.

They transform her into a modern woman and send her home.
The family is amazed to see her dressed modernly and receiving calls from important people.
She receives a call from Dubai and is offered a job. She takes this opportunity and takes Mann with her.
She knows Mann likes Riya and brings her along too. They admit to have feelings towards each other and spend some time together in Dubai.

Bharti returns and is quite wealthy after many jobs. Her son Suketu wants to borrow money from her, so, he goes to butter her up. She gives him 1 crore and asks him to sign a contract that he will return it in 15 days. He loses the money and is rude to his mother. She files a complaint and sends him to jail to teach him a lesson. Whilst in jail, he realises how much he has wronged his mother. She comes and takes the complaint back. Suketu apologises and admits to his mistakes.

Suketu's wife Astha is given a role in a movie, but after many attempts, she is not able to act properly. The director is rude to her and at that time Bharti arrives. She tells the director off for speaking rudely to a woman and asks for time to speak to her; otherwise, she will pay for the shooting time wasted. Mann and Bharti are able to talk her into trying to act the scene out again. She completes the scene perfectly and the director falls at her feet in happiness as they have finally completed a scene without any problems.

Astha realises her mistakes and apologises to Bharti for treating her wrong. She asks if she can touch her feet as the first and last time she did that was years ago when she first came into the house as a bride. Her daughter Gargi comes down and tells the family that she is moving out to live with her boyfriend Sameer. She tells them that they will have a [[live-in relationship]], as he is not divorced yet and they are holding a party to celebrate. The family attends the party and whilst dancing, Gargi faints.

Mann had drugged Gargi's drink which made her collapse. He arranged a studio to look like a hospital. Anupam Kher dresses up as a doctor and informs the family that Gargi needs a kidney transplant. He tests everyone for a match and tells them that Sameer's is a match. Sameer is taken away by Mann and the doctor and he asks about the changes that the transplant will make to his life. They scare him and he refuses to give the kidney. He breaks their relationship and goes. Bharti slaps Sameer and explains to Gargi that if he couldn't look after his family how would he look after her.

The doctor, Mann and Bharti tell the family that this was an act to show Sameer's true colours and that Gargi is now safe.

Mann tells Riya that his mother has fixed his relationship and she is angry. She asks what about her. He tells her that if she doesn't attend his wedding who will he marry. Bharti receives an award and asks her husband to attend the celebration. He refuses and accuses her of wanting to show him down. Mann sees this and shouts at his grandfather for treating Bharti wrong. Gargi apologises to her mother and gifts her a saree to wear at the celebration.

At the award ceremony Bharti thanks Mann for changing her life for the better. She sees her husband at the back of the room and calls him on to stage to receive the award with her. He delivers a speech on how women respect their husbands even though they sometimes treat her badly. He tells her that he has realised his mistakes and he asks for forgiveness. He blames himself as the children saw him disrespecting Bharti and followed him.

Mann prepares to leave. The family gather to send him off and Bharti tells them that Riya will take him to the airport. Bharti's husband tells her he loves her very much and the movie ends with a family picture and a song.

== Religious practices ==
[[File:Khuman Dynasty Sword.jpg|thumb|The sword of the [[Khuman]]s is an essential element used during the Khuman Apokpa Khurumba (Khuman clan ancestor worshipping tradition)]]

Members of the Oinam Sagei (or Oinam family), practice ancestral worship as part of the [[traditional Meitei religion]] known as [[Sanamahism]]. They honor their familial ancestor, Oinam Apokpa (also called Oinam Pokpa), through a ritual tradition known as Sagei Apokpa Khurumba—a ceremony dedicated to the worship of one's family progenitor or [[Apokpa]].<ref name="Yumlembam_Gopi_7" />

In addition to this, as part of the larger [[Khuman clan]] ([[Khuman Salai]]), the Oinam family also worships [[Khuman Apokpa]] (or Khumanpokpa), the ancestral figure of the entire Khuman clan. This form of worship, known as Salai Apokpa Khurumba, reflects the clan-level veneration of ancestors. Both forms of ancestor worship—at the family and clan levels—are integral practices within [[Sanamahism]], the indigenous religion of the [[Meitei people]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.310127|title=Apokpa Khurumba|last=Manaoibungo Moirang|first=Moirangthemcha|date=1996|publisher=Digital Library of India; Internet Archive|location=India|language=mni}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.467297|title=Sagei Salai Apoklon|last=Monihar|first=N.|date=2000|publisher=Digital Library of India; Internet Archive|location=India|language=mni}}</ref>

== In Bangladesh ==
{{See|Meitei people in Bangladesh|Meitei clothing in Bangladesh|Lai Haraoba in Bangladesh}}

=== Early settlement ===
At the end of the 17th century A.D., members of the Meetei community belonging to the Oinam family settled in Bishgaon, located in present-day Bangladesh. By the middle of the 18th century A.D., their presence in the region had become well established.<ref name=":Bangladesh_Oinam_family_settlement">Sanajaoba, Naorem (1988). Manipur, Past and Present: The Heritage and Ordeals of a Civilization. India: Mittal Publications. pp. xliii, 122, 123, 125, 387. ISBN 978-81-7099-853-2.</ref>

=== Manuscript account ===

A handwritten manuscript has been discovered that provides important historical information about the settlement of the Oinam family, or Oinam Sagei, in Bangladesh. The document records the genealogy of a Manipuri family belonging to the Oinam lineage, currently residing in the Bishgaon area of Bangladesh.<ref name=":Bangladesh_Oinam_family_settlement" />

According to the manuscript, the ancestors of this family—Maimu, Yauba, and Manglemba—migrated from Manipur. They first settled in the Cachar region and later moved to the areas of Bishgaon and Bhanugach in present-day Bangladesh. The manuscript states that the eleventh generation of Manglemba's lineage is now living in Bishgaon.<ref name=":Bangladesh_Oinam_family_settlement" />

The original manuscript is believed to have been written by Bala Singh, who was the seventh-generation descendant of Manglemba. His name is the last listed in the original section of the genealogy. Later, the document was extended in a different handwriting, including the names of Mahendra (Bala Singh's son) and Durlav Singh (Mahendra's son). It is assumed that Durlav Singh added these entries. Durlav Singh had a son named Chhengoi Singh, whose family—including four sons and one daughter—is currently residing in Bishgaon. The eldest son, Ibonghal Singh, is reported to be 64 years old.<ref name=":Bangladesh_Oinam_family_settlement" />

To estimate the date when the genealogy was written, a generational gap of 25 years was used for the past three generations, including Ibonghal Singh. Adding 64 years (Ibonghal's age) to 75 years (three generations), the genealogy was likely written 139 years ago.<ref name=":Bangladesh_Oinam_family_settlement" />

Further analysis suggests that the family's ancestors settled in Bishgaon approximately 294 years ago. This estimate is based on the assumption of 10 generations (averaging 23 years per generation) plus the 64 years of Ibonghal's age. Manglemba, being the eleventh generation back, is assumed to have been an adult at the time of migration, so one generation is not counted in the calculation. This places the settlement around 1697 A.D., with an estimated margin of 20 years (1677–1717 A.D.).<ref name=":Bangladesh_Oinam_family_settlement" />

This period overlaps with the reigns of Manipuri kings Paikhomba (1666–1697), Charairongba (1697–1709), and Garibniwaz (1709–1748). Based on this, it is likely that the migration and settlement of the Oinam family in Bangladesh took place during or before the reign of Garibniwaz.<ref name=":Bangladesh_Oinam_family_settlement" />

The manuscript is currently in the possession of Oinam Ramendra, the youngest son of the family, who works as an engineer.<ref name=":Bangladesh_Oinam_family_settlement" />

=== First Manipuri settlement in Chhotodhamai, Bangladesh ===

Chhotodhamai, located in the Moulvibazar district under the greater Sylhet region of Bangladesh, is a significant area inhabited by the Manipuri community. Within this region lies a place known as Manik Singh Bazar, which holds historical importance as an early site of Manipuri settlement.<ref name=":Bangladesh_Oinam_family_settlement" />

According to local accounts, the first Manipuri settlers in this area established themselves at Manik Singh Bazar. The settlement was led by a man named Manik Singh, who is identified as an ancestor of the Bangladeshi Oinam family. He arrived in the area with a group of people and founded the initial settlement. In recognition of his role as the first settler, a local market eventually developed and was named Manik Singh Bazar in his honor.<ref name=":Bangladesh_Oinam_family_settlement" />

Today, descendants of Oinam Manik Singh continue to live in Chhotodhamai. One of them is Oinam Bhuban Singh, who is currently 42 years old and identified as the sixth-generation descendant of Manik Singh. Using the standard generational estimate of 25 years per generation, the time of the original settlement can be calculated as approximately 167 years ago (42 + 25 × 5), placing it around the year 1824 A.D.<ref name=":Bangladesh_Oinam_family_settlement" />

This period aligns with the historical timeframe known as the Seven-Year Devastation (1819–1826), a time of political turmoil and displacement in Manipur. It is therefore likely that the Oinam family's migration and settlement in Chhotodhamai occurred during or shortly after this event.<ref name=":Bangladesh_Oinam_family_settlement" />

==Synopsis==
The 2015 elections shows BPF facing stiff competition from various other political parties as contrast to their domination in the last two elections. This time the BJP and AIUDF too fielded their candidates in the elections. The BJP tried hard to gain the ground by conducting a high voltage campaign, but the party had to satisfy itself by winning only one seat out of 40 seats, while AIUDF won 4.

Most of the competition to BPF came from non-Bodo candidates, and the Peoples Coordination for Democratic Rights (PCDR). PCDR, formed by the All Bodoland Student Union (ABSU), Bodoland Peoples Progressive Front (BPPF)—in collaboration with the Pro-talk National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), contested the elections as an independent party. PCDR came out of the Bodo community, who claims it as a response to the widespread corruption by the BPF party, and its dictatorship in the governing process. The PCDR, which contested as an independent, had snatched seven seats from the BPF. While the ruling Indian National Congress in [[Assam Legislative Assembly|Assam]] could not win even a single seat.

==Stealth play==
{{anchor|Stealth play}}
This race featured "Stealth play", a tactic that allowed a crew to hide its position from its competitors for a period of 12 hours. It was designed to add a tactical dimension to the race, whereby a team might opt to make a break from the fleet without the rest of the competitors knowing what they are doing and where they are on the race track. The ploy can first be used on leg one, leg two, leg five, leg six and leg seven. If it is not used on one leg, it cannot be accumulated for use on a following leg.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.volvooceanrace.org/news/article/2008/october/stealth-play/|title=Volvo Ocean Race – Stealth Play|date=7 October 2008|work=Volvo Ocean Race|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081212221025/http://www.volvooceanrace.org/news/article/2008/october/stealth-play/|archivedate=12 December 2008}}</ref>

Goda Ravi was formerly identified with king [[Vijayaraga]] (c. 883/84 — c. 895 AD) of the medieval Chera dynasty of Kerala.<ref name=":3" /> He was also initially identified as the brother-in-law of [[Pandya dynasty|Pandya]] ruler Jatavarman Kulasekhara Deva I.<ref name=":2" />

== Coronation year ==
An inscription mentioning Goda Ravi from Nedumpuram Thali, [[Wadakkanchery]] (concerning a land grant), is one of rare Chera Perumal inscriptions that record both the regnal year and another era (the [[Kali Era|Kali Year]]) simultaneously — the regnal year appears at the beginning (17th year, with Jupiter in Mithuna) and the Kali Year at the end.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":2" /> Recent interpretations suggest that the temple committee met and approved the land grant in the 17th regnal year of Goda Ravi, when Jupiter was in Mithuna, while the inscription currently available was commissioned later, corresponding to Kali Year 4030.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Devadevan |first=Manu V. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LRnxDwAAQBAJ&q=The+%27Early+Medieval%27+Origins+of+India |title=The 'Early Medieval' Origins of India |publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=2020 |isbn=9781108857871 |pages=129–30 |chapter=Changes in Land Relations and the Changing Fortunes of the Cera State}}</ref>

== Death and funeral ==
Speaking to ''ETimes'', his son Vikas mentioned that the treatment of the cancer was tough since there was no set line of medicine considering it was a rare form of cancer. Even though the chemotherapy worked for some time and it seemed like it showed results, Nayak's health kept deteriorating and cancer spread to his entire body within one year.

Nayak died on 3 October 2021 from a rare form of cancer. He had wanted to die with makeup on.<ref>{{cite web |title= Ghanshyam Nayak Aka Nattu Kaka Of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah Died In Peace, Had Forgotten His Own Name: Son Vikas Remembers His Beloved Father|url=https://www.india.com/entertainment/tv-news-taarak-mehta-ka-ooltah-chashmah-nattu-kaka-ghanshyam-nayak-aka-died-in-peace-forgotten-his-name-son-vikas-reveals-5051561/ |website=India.com| access-date=2021-10-12}}</ref>

Nayak's funeral was conducted the next day, on 4 October 2021.

In his latest interview with a news daily, Vikas opened up on how the family supported him and stayed with him throughout the difficult phase.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Desk|first=India com Entertainment|date=2021-10-12|title=Nattu Kaka Died in Peace, Had Forgotten His Own Name: Son Vikas Remembers His Beloved Father|url=https://www.india.com/entertainment/tv-news-taarak-mehta-ka-ooltah-chashmah-nattu-kaka-ghanshyam-nayak-aka-died-in-peace-forgotten-his-name-son-vikas-reveals-5051561/|access-date=2021-10-14|website=India News, Breaking News {{!}} India.com|language=en}}</ref>

'''''Annakili''''' is the debut soundtrack album composed by [[Ilaiyaraaja]] to the [[Annakili|1976 film of the same name]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Annakili Tamil EP Vinyl Record by Ilayaraaja |url=https://banumass.com/shop/annakili-tamil-ep-vinyl-record-by-ilayaraaja-record-2/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220927215855/https://banumass.com/shop/annakili-tamil-ep-vinyl-record-by-ilayaraaja-record-2/ |archive-date=27 September 2022 |access-date=19 March 2023 |website=Banumass}}</ref> The film is directed by [[Devaraj–Mohan]] and written by [[Panchu Arunachalam]] from a story by [[R. Selvaraj (screenwriter)|R. Selvaraj]], and stars [[Sivakumar]] and [[Sujatha (actress)|Sujatha]] with [[S. V. Subbaiah]], [[Srikanth (actor, born 1940)|Srikanth]], [[Thengai Srinivasan]] and [[Fatafat Jayalaxmi]] in supporting roles. The soundtrack featured five songs written by the screenwriter Arunachalam and released under the [[Saregama|His Master's Voice]] label.

Prior to his debut, Ilaiyaraaja worked as a technician and instrumentalist for several composers and assisted [[G. K. Venkatesh]], before Arunachalam's interest on a debutant composer. Ilaiyaraaja was eventually suggested by Selvaraj, who had presented all of the tunes before scripting the film which led Arunachalam to develop the screenplay based on the songs he had composed. The soundtrack was considered to be a blend of [[Indian classical music|Indian]] and [[Western classical]] music with the [[Tamil folk culture|Tamil folk]].

Upon release, the soundtrack was appreciated for its composition and the musical styles and genres, which were much different from earlier [[Tamil film music]] and eventually became popular after its release, besides attributing to the film's success. It further established Ilaiyaraaja as a leading composer in the [[Tamil film industry]] who would later work on several films

== Background and development ==
Before his debut as a composer in ''Annakili'', Ilaiyaraaja worked as a [[Session musician|session guitarist]], keyboardist, and organist for film music composers and directors such as [[Salil Chowdhury]] from [[West Bengal]].<ref name="hindu_200511200034">{{Cite web |date=20 November 2005 |title=Looking back: flawless harmony in his music |url=http://www.hindu.com/mag/2005/11/20/stories/2005112000340500.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107163412/http://www.hindu.com/mag/2005/11/20/stories/2005112000340500.htm |archive-date=7 November 2012 |access-date=15 November 2006 |website=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref><ref name="thehindu_3752336">{{cite news |last1=Mujumdar |first1=Neha |date=11 August 2012 |title=One of a kind |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/one-of-a-kind/article3752336.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160117184421/http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/one-of-a-kind/article3752336.ece |archive-date=17 January 2016 |access-date=11 August 2012 |work=The Hindu}}</ref> After being referred by [[Master Dhanraj]], he assisted [[Kannada]] film composer [[G.

== Production ==
Ilaiyaraaja applied the techniques of modern popular film music orchestration to Tamil folk poetry and folk song melodies, which created a fusion of Western and Tamil idioms.{{Sfn|Greene|2001|pages=171–172}} According to historian [[S. Theodore Baskaran]], the compositions were "a blend of Indian classical music, Western classical music and folk music of the Tamils".{{Sfn|Baskaran|1996|p=147}}

== Reception ==
According to Baskaran, the songs were "authentically folksy and it changed the way the film music was composed".{{Sfn|Baskaran|1996|p=147}} [[Randor Guy]], writing for ''[[The Hindu]]'' called Ilaiyaraaja's music as a "major highlight" and described "Machaana Pathingala" as an "evergreen melody".<ref name="RandorGuy2" /> Nandhu Sundaram of ''[[The News Minute]]'' attributed Ilaiyaraaja's music being much different from [[M. S.

'''Nawab Sayyid Hamid Ali Khan Bahadur''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|GCSI|GCVO|GCIE}} (31 August 1875–19 June 1930) was [[Nawab]] of the [[princely state]] of [[Rampur State|Rampur]] from 1889 to 1930.

He was only thirteen (but turning fourteen years of age) when he ascended the throne of Rampur, he ruled under a [[Regent|regency]] to 1896, when [[Victor Bruce, 9th Earl of Elgin]] invested him with full ruling powers. During his reign, his [[salute]] was raised from 13-guns to 15 as a result of Sir Hamid's army seeing distinguished service in the [[Middle East]], [[Afghanistan]] and [[German East Africa]] during [[World War I]]. A staunch supporter of higher education, Sir Nawab Hamid gave generously to many colleges across the subcontinent, including the [[King George Medical College|Lucknow Medical College]] and [[Aligarh Muslim University]], also greatly expanding the number of educational institutions within his state. He was instrumental in foundation of [[Shia College, Lucknow]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JvsKAQAAMAAJ&q=%22Shia+College%22|title=Islam and the Modern Age|date=1992|publisher=Islam and the Modern Age Society.|language=en}}</ref>

Dying in 1930 at the age of 54, after a 41-year reign, Sir Hamid was buried at [[Karbala]], [[Iraq]]. He was succeeded by his son, Sir [[Raza Ali Khan Bahadur]].{{cn|date=August 2020}}
