So appropriate. <br /><br />Rudra seems like a "typical" Aghori based on what little I know but the film is a puzzle as to whether he is a god, what that says about god in general and all these things.. Very thought-provoking.<br /><br />It's on youtube w/ Eng subs, most of it, but the last part is subless (though people in the video's comments explain what they are saying in the last scenes).veracioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437521137603205617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-54054983006271555942010-02-26T07:41:20.992+02:002010-02-26T07:41:20.992+02:00Nice post!

From your description, it's as if Rudra is set up as a sort of Deist "god" who is removed from human affairs. I knew nothing of the Aghori sect before reading your post so thanks for the link! Though I still wonder what the message of Naan Kadavul is meant to be. Slice of life? The pitfalls of religious/philosophical extremism? I guess I'll have to watch it and find out! :)MinaiMinaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868497630163066412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-49137466183374118462010-02-16T11:14:02.247+02:002010-02-16T11:14:02.247+02:00No problem!

I hope you see it anyway (and if you aren't able to buy it, most of it is on youtube with subtitles), because it's very interesting and a little harder to piece together than other Bala films. Some would say that's a bad thing, others say they love the film for it. I appreciate the thought-provokingness of it but I think I still prefer Pithamagan - I like a little humor amidst the darkness.<br /><br />I think it portrays the Aghori sect very in an interesting manner but it doesn't necessarily get inside the main character's head or anything.veracioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437521137603205617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-15529642732287294232010-02-16T10:54:37.824+02:002010-02-16T10:54:37.824+02:00I was initially very interested in the film but, k...I was initially very interested in the film but, kind of lost it due to the delays, caused by changes in personnel. I was hoping that the film was going to throw some insights into the Aghora path, which I had been reading about at the time.<br /><br /> Reviews, when it released, just dwelt on its dark aspects, rather than on this controversial spiritual path, so, I forgot about it.<br /><br /> Your review has piqued my interest so, many thanks for posting.<br /><br /> <br /> I wonder if Bala's next will full of slapstick comedy?<br /> ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
