Clue
3:
The latest stills: All of you have seen
it and by now would be quite sure that Kamal
indeed plays Ramanujam. But these set of
stills show Kamal being chained to a larger
than life-size idol and being drowned. Now,
this is certainly not the idol that we saw
Asin holding, nor can this be the idol that
according to legend went on a long journey
across India. Here the jigsaw fails to connect.
Clue 4:
The next press release: This revealed a
scene that was shot which involved lyricist
Kapilan. Kamal and Kapilan together protest
and stop illegal sand quarrying from a river
bed, Kapilan recites a verse describing
his feelings- that’s what the scene
is all about. The theme of the scene is
definitely very contemporary and could have
found a place in Al Gore’s Inconvenient
Truth. But what puzzles us here is what
such a theme or track is doing in a movie
that has stills indicating a mythological/legend/
drama? What would environmental concerns
be doing in such a movie? |
