Naan Kadavul: Review 1

Concept 1:
"இந்த உலகத்தில் வாழ தகுதி இல்லாதவர்களுக்கு நான் தரும் வரம் - மரணம், இந்த உலகத்தில் வாழ வழி இல்லாதவர்களுக்கு நான் தரும் மரணம் - வரம் !!!!" translation "those who are not fit to live in this world, i give them boon - that's death and those who cant live in this world , i give them death - thats a boon". If you cant understand\digest\interpret these words then Bala's "Naan Kadavul" is definitely not for you.

Concept 2:
I met lots of people in my travel and beggars are most prominent among them. They are people with guttered physique, pathetic voice, handicapped, dumb and also few who acts like all the above and i simply ignore them. I never ever gave a single penny to any of these guys. For me, they are low life peoples, people who dont want to work and wants everything for free, just by raising the voice "amma, thaaye, pitchai podunga", i hate that very sound.I saw many physically challenged peoples who works or does something to lead a decent life, i have all respect for them and never fail to acknowledge their mental power and survival instinct in this world, but on the contrary, i hate those "physically challenged beggars" who makes awful expressions and asks for money, i never had any respect for them...until, yesterday when i came out watching "Naan Kadavul".

I sincerely wish that there's no such situation prevailing around the beggars(as shown in the movie) but at the same time if it's there, even less than 1%, anywhere in this world...thats really paining. I was filled with unavoidable thoughts about all those people whom i ignored in the bus stand, railway station, outside my company, college, signals...i felt guilty. Why i have not given anything to them ? how can i assume that they beg and earn a life out of it ? how did i ever ignored the physically challenged beggars ? did they got affected because of my ignorance ? what if someone on some particular day, to whom i have not given anything resulted in some extra beating from his boss ? i felt the pain...i cried for some hours. I whole heartily said "I am sorry, next time i'll show humanity when i meet any of you on the way, i try to give something, i believe that u beg because someone is forcing you to do that, i believe u didnt become beggar by choice...." Disturbing thoughts for the whole night.....

Movie review:

Bala did a brilliant work in blending both the concepts. It's not a film, which you can categorize as good or bad, it's just an unavoidable movie and in my opinion "This is the identity of Cinema". It's a very intense movie narrated in a dark way with dry sarcastic comedies through out. For the ages to come, people will speak about this movie...

I am closing my review here....but this is not the end, will write few more reviews about this movie once that uneasy feeling settles down !!!!!!!!!
