Some good Malayalam movies too like "Thingalazhycha, nalla divasam", etc. I am glad to hear that some of the older, not-so-popular movies have been re-released and would like to get hold of some of them.

Personally, it was the bringing together of the stories and the irony at Tanna's deathbed plus the irony of the last scene that have left a thinking impact on me.<br />Glad to have read through your review after the movie though!

Only a master director can pull off a story like this on screen!<br /><br />I found Satti's character to be the most compelling, the most 'paavam,' in a sense.<br /><br />I watched this movie a long time ago but I recall thinking that it was SO tough to take sides in this movie, as opposed to the regular films where the good-bad divide is thick and clear.LJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-37516483114024839762012-06-03T22:46:56.622-04:002012-06-03T22:46:56.622-04:00Thanks, Banno, though why I'm thanking people ...Thanks, Banno, though why I'm thanking people for *not* reading my post beats me. :DAnu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-25053863222744475152012-06-03T22:43:03.513-04:002012-06-03T22:43:03.513-04:00Good review, Anu, though I admit I did quit readin...Good review, Anu, though I admit I did quit reading it half-way.
