A Shyamaprasad film



'Rithu' tells a buddy tale that blooms in the changing social and emotional landscape of a small south Indian town...


Three childhood friends, who grew up in the same neighborhood and went to same school and college, weave up their dreams about life together. Sarat, Varsha, and Sunny were inseparable in their love, bonding, and innocence. Sarat and Varsha grew fond of each other, in a more internal and less physical manner. And Sunny, was more like a brother to Sarat. To raise money to achieve their dreams Sarat leaves for northern California to live and work. The other two take up a job at Bangalore... Three years later, they return to the throes of their changing hometown. After an emotional reunion and a sweet build-up of hopes, each finds that beneath their camaraderie, they had actually outgrown their old selves...

In the final loss of innocence, Sarat is betrayed by both friends in different ways...

Celebrities & Unusual Deaths


Everybody dies, but not everybody dies an unnatural death, and very few people are famous.
Those criteria combined make for some interesting headlines, and even more interesting history. Many celebrities died unusual, even bizarre deaths under equally strange circumstances.

Marylin Monroe

Few famous deaths are so hotly contested as that of Miss Monroe. At 36 years old, Marylin may not have been young anymore, but this blonde bombshell showed little signs of stopping. That’s partly the reason so many people were confused by her sudden death, which was ruled “probable suicide.” She was found dead in her bedroom on August 5th, 1962, and the cause was quickly ruled an overdose. Conspiracy theorists have gone rabid over this ever since. Rumours about her and then President Kennedy abounded at the time, even though the guy was married to the foxy Jackie O.
