Whats the point ?
- Aham Brahmasmi [The Self is Supreme ?]
- Maranam Varam [ Death is a boon.Salvation from this wretched life.And,oh ,did they show wretched ! ]
- What are you still looking for ??Thats it.
Halfway through the movie,spouse commented ” Ithu sariyaana pitchkaara padama irukkum polirukkey”.A little later,I said “Where’s the story,man ?”.At the end of the movie,spouse was growling Aham Brahmasmi every five minutes.He liked the movie so much.I’m still wondering what the fuss was all about.No strong storyline.Not my type.Though,I did look up stuff about Aghori Sadhus after watching the movie.It quite intrigued me that such people exist.
//I’m still wondering what the fuss was all about.No strong storyline.//
The point here is fictional meet of 2 different worlds. A world where is it optimistic, courageous, Ruthless and thinks that they are world and they are god – Which meets another world which has given up on the world, pessimistic and just doesnt know what to do to make their life better. One lives on death and the other waits for death.
How fictional (and thoughtful) is it to mix the two worlds. Its fiction and can never happen – but, what if ! And i think that is the point. Bala has very much played within the char. of the 2 worlds and made a simple story…Its the presentation that matters
But yeah you said //Not my type//
I kinda liked the movie ‘cos of Pooja’s performance (very moving) and ‘cos the subject matter was very different.But for a movie that has been in the making for three years,I definitely expected a stronger storyline.It was good.But not good enough for Bala.
sree, bala ivlo yosichaaraanu theriyala.
sangs – your spouse growling – lol – did you take him to the movie – if so i can guess why.
ramak :
Well,he really liked the movie and tried to emulate Arya 
.Thank God he hasn’t yet tried to stand on his head.
Sangs, you dont need a great story, if its an act of fiction of 1 world meeting the other. I’d say all you need is sense like that of Pollathavan
sangs-a ithu? intha padam ellam parkrathu, namba mudiyavillai !!!!
one safe tip: Please dont watch aanada thaandavam, sema bore !
Sami,I read Sujata’s novel online
.So I dont think I’ll be watching the movie.
