IMO, NK padathule Arya've (I mean his character) thevai illeng That aghori stunt from Bala stood out like a sore thumb w/o any contribution to the movie. :sigh: It looked like Bala used him as an excuse to "pOttuthallufy" thandavan in the end, ambuthuthen... In fact, when I watched NK, I felt like - "documentary ellam nalla thein irukku, anna idhellam ippo en enga kitta solreenga"? (as in what's the point kinda feeling). To me, Slumdock touching a bit on the same underlying subject as NK was better both in terms of screen-play intellisense and entertainment.
