How do we expand the role of Samskritam in भारतीय Popular Culture?

Apart from our texts, literature and art, how do we incorporate Samskritam in songs, movies, cartoons, social media and the like?

To explore this important topic, collating the use of संस्कृतम् in movies here...
To kick start this list, here is an achingly beautiful song in Samskritam from a Malayalam movie (Dhwani-1988)

The use of simple Samskritam within the context of a regular mainstream movie is breathtaking & pathbreaking 👍🏼

2 min sample👇🏼

लकाराः । Lakaras। ‘VERB’ usages in Samskritam

For a beginner, Lakaras can be utterly confusing. Ask me!

Unless you are a lucky beginner, you go through months of ‘लकार’ confusion till it all slowly clears up. Then you wonder-‘what was that all about’?

But it needn’t be so..
To help सहपाठीs possibly avoid this needless confusion, I am sharing snippets from Neelesh Bodas Varya’s wonderful lecture on Lakaras:



I strongly recommend listening to the entire lecture multiple times!

But for those who want to sample it, here goes...
Verb usage in Samskritam come under what is known as Lakara Prayoga. There are 10 Lakaras-each used to convey a different ‘Tense” (काल) or a “Sentiment’ (भाव)

काल - Present, Future (2 types), Past (3 types)
भाव - Order, Request, Wish

Each लकारः represents a type of verb usage
