Major Ravi is facing criticism online for reasons quite surprising. On Sunday, he uploaded a couple of pictures of himself at the Mookambika temple where he performed the puja to commence his latest project: a film based on Operation Sindoor titled Pahalgam: Op. Sindoor.

“Commencing our new project, Pahalgam: Op. Sindoor, with the divine blessings of Mookambika Devi. Jai Hind,” read the caption along with the post.

Netizens react

It seems like not everyone was pleased with this announcement. The Army officer-turned-filmmaker faced the ire of several fans of superstar Mohanlal, who are unsure about the prospects of this venture. Several took to X to voice their concerns.

One fan vowed not to watch the upcoming movie:

“I’ve decided not to watch the upcoming M-Ravi Mohanlal film in theatres, and I won’t be sharing or promoting any pre-release content related to it on my timeline. Among all his friends, M-Ravi proved to be the worst of all time ! Pathetic!!!”

Another fan pointed to the recent track record of Major Ravi to argue in favor of ignoring his upcoming project.

“Serving an absolute s**t in a winning streak the last 3 times, and the audacity to praise himself that he did everything good for Mohanlal. Idiot.”

One of the fans even urged Mohanlal to stop collaborating with Ravi. “First time seeing fans of an actor uniting to say they’ll never watch a particular movie of his in theaters. Open your eyes and see what’s happening around you, @Mohanlal. Don’t be delusional, drop that project immediately.”

Another one highlighted the hashtag ‘#BoycottMajorRavi’ that was trending on X.

“HUGE STATEMENT !!! #Mohanlal Fans Are Completely Opposing Against Major Ravi For Collaborating With Lalettan. #BoycottMajorRavi – Trending At No. 3, In Indian Trends. @Mohanlal I Guess It’s Time To Rethink About This Sir,” the person wrote.

Why are Mohanlal fans upset with Major Ravi?

The main reason that fans of Mohanlal are not happy with Major Ravi is his recent track record.

Major Ravi and Mohanlal collaborated on Keerthichakra and it turned out to be a success. However, what followed were four failures at the box office – Kurukshetra, Karmayodha, Kandahar and 1971: Beyond Borders. These films not only got snubbed by the fans, but were also panned by the critics.

Fans of Mohanlal have held Major Ravi responsible for the failure of these movies. This is why his next directorial venture is also being opposed by them.

Operation Ivy: Energy Album Review

by jummy84 September 28, 2025

written by jummy84

Earlier this year, I was a staff writer on Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney. For 12 weeks, our show aired live on Netflix at 7 p.m. PT. In the afternoon on show days, we’d do a dress rehearsal. Writers would sit in for the celebrity guests, the studio audience was empty, but we had live callers, even though the rehearsal would never air. The topic for our fifth episode was “Getting Fired,” and at the dress rehearsal, Mulaney took a couple phone calls in the first interview segment. One caller identified himself as “Jesse from Los Angeles.” There was an echo on his call. Mulaney debated hanging up but gave him a chance. Jesse told a story about how he worked as a prep cook in his 20s. He was terrible at it, and yet, his boss wouldn’t fire him.

“Jesse, why couldn’t you get fired from that job?” Mulaney asked.

“Because my boss was a fan of my band,” Jesse said.

“What was your band called?” Mulaney said.

“The band was Operation Ivy, the punk band,” Jesse said.

Mulaney’s jaw dropped. “Oh my god, you were in Operation Ivy? That’s fuckin’ sick.”

I was just offstage watching this exchange, dumbstruck. Jesse Michaels called into our dress rehearsal? How did he even get the phone number? It was so unexpected. Michaels was self-effacing and charming while talking to Mulaney, a couple writers, and the show’s announcer, Richard Kind (who, in that episode, was in character as Gene Simmons because he got hit on the head with a Kiss LP). After a few minutes of conversation, Mulaney said, “I gotta hang up on you, Jesse, but Operation Ivy rules.”

After the rehearsal, the writers and producers convened to receive notes from Netflix. One of the suits sent a note that said, “You gotta get the Op Ivy guy to call back for the live show. That was incredible.” Mulaney considered the note for a beat, but waved it off. When spontaneous magic strikes in a dress rehearsal, it can be a fool’s errand to try and recreate that moment on live TV.

Michaels’ phone call to Mulaney’s dress rehearsal gave me a brief but true Op Ivy experience. Like the band, that phone call was only experienced by a handful of people. It was a blink-or-you’ll-miss-it moment that only happened once, and would never be replicated.

Like an atom being split by nuclear fission, Op Ivy was a ball of fire blazing at punk clubs and backyard shows that extinguished before the world could catch on. All that’s left behind is Energy. It’s a remarkable document of a band that had a scene in the palm of its hand. You had to have been there.
