Thabal chongba or dancing by moonlight, dance in which the participants join hands in a circle is a popular Manipuri folk dance associated with the festival of Yaoshang.
Traditionally, conservative Kangleicha (Meitei)
parents did not allow their daughters to go out and meet young men
without their consent. Thabal chongba provided the only chance for girls
to meet and talk to boys. In earlier times, this dance was performed in
the moonlight accompanied by folk songs. The music is rhythmic beating of drums
accompanied by other instruments. It is performed in every locality on
all the five days of the festival. As soon as the moon rises over the
hills, the flute, drums and cymbals
start. The boys and girls in a circle clutch each other's hands with
rhythms of music slow and fast, high and low, up and down. If the number
is great they may form two or three rows so that everybody and anybody
can participate in the dance.

Derailed, which screened in the “Korean Cinema Today:
Panorama” section at the 2016 BIFF, is an action and crime film helmed
by first-time director Lee Seong-tae.
Movie Plot :
Jin-il (Min-ho) and Ga-young (Da-eun) are teen runaways. They stay
with other runaway kids and resort to stealing to survive living on the
streets. When they are out of money, they scheme to swindle Hyung-seok
(Ma Dong-seok). But their scheme soon goes awry, with Ga-young becoming a
hostage.
Derailed, about the ruthlessness of life on the streets, is currently playing at cinemas in South Korea.

Story :
A wayward youth of a rich father, Jomon is a carefree youngster who
doesn’t care about ‘being responsible enough’ for his age. When the
family lands in a financial soup out of the blue, a different side of
the youngster surprisingly emerges.
Review:
Families predictably surviving the tide of times have made some great
feel-good entertainers in Mollywood. Add to the mix a few of our younger
crop of actors, the youth too are hooked to the storyline. Sathyan
Anthikad’s latest directorial aims to cash in on both the trends. Where
it falls it short though is it is evidently a mix of many plots that the
industry has loved over the years and hence does not offer a refreshing
take on the subject.
An ounce of Veendum Chila
Veettukaryangal, a few teaspoons of Jacobinte Swargarajyam and family
sentiments to taste, you get Jomonte Suvisheshangal. And no, faith
hardly plays a role in this suvishesham, except for a moderately comic
scene in the movie.
Vincent (Mukesh) is a self-made
veteran entrepreneur of Thrissur, who believes that making money through
business acumen is an art. All his children are well-settled except for
Jomon (Dulquer Salmaan), his proverbial prodigal son, whom all accuses
of being incessantly irresponsible. A business move falters and
Vincent’s empire gets caught up in a turbulent financial storm. When the
weather becomes rough, predictably, frictions ensue in relationships.
Jomon’s tale can definitely be a hit with the section of audience for
who relate to elements like family sentiments, human traits of endurance
and parent-child bond. The movie can also win the hearts of fans of
Dulquer Salmaan and his mannerisms as the actor indeed comes across as
charming in a few sequences.
However, the story moves
predictably and all throughout the movie, you know that the father and
son would sail through it all and set foot ashore robustly. In the first
half, you are amply entertained by the antics of Jomon and his chilled
out family but post interval, it’s an endless wait to witness the
obvious. It’s only a question of when. Except for Mukesh and Dulquer,
the rest of the actors do not have much scope of performance in the
current storyline. However, Aishwarya Rakesh, who plays the Tamil girl
Vaidehi, does come across as a breath of fresh air.
Jomon is
worth your money for Dulquer Salmaan’s charm, and a few moments of
relatable family drama. But that's pretty much about it..
