While I admire Kamal for his passion towards cinema and the way he showcased his coming-to-his-own-truths through his films, I would immensely enjoy if someone with decent knowledge of religion snub and question his attitude towards them , just like he does to his characters in the movies. As far as I can infer, neither he nor the 'religious' characters that he snubs in his movies have any religious knowledge except the regular religious beliefs (or non-beliefs) of normal people.
A set of interviews with someone on the lines of Cho (just an example) would be nice. The other side has perpetually been shown weak (or weakened by his writing.) Anyway, I dream on. |

"chi dam bram!" என சிறு வட்டத்துக்குள்ளேயே வெளிப்படும் அவரது வீரம் நகைப்புக்குறியது. in the overall analysis, his courageous themes are courageous only coz he knows quite well that the communities he is trying to 'expose' wud never do to him, what a certain other community is likely to do if he were to rub them on the wrong side ! |

all these community bias complaints are rubbish IMHO.. didnt we see a movie called heyram..
say, even in Anbe Sivam.. there are many "good" hindu characters.. but nasser being a hindu irks many for no good reason.. btw.. we are a big hindu majority country... so the bias is in the eyes of the viewer... |

what abt that lady in the hill ??
Nasser is not a brahmin in this movie.. if he is a gounder, does it mean that Kamal exposed or vilified gounders?? in dasa, the name of the villain is Christian FLetcher and he does pray to god in the movie.. even shows his middle finger in his marriage scene.. so whats thaT?? in Mahanadi, the most notorious character is Thulukkaanam .. and there are many more examples.. ofcourse brahmins have been "exposed" in some movies.. may be bcos he is also from one such family.. |

what abt that lady in the hill ?? gounders too are hindus right? nasser was shown as a particularly pious person. wrt, Christin Fletcher, there is another character in the movie (vincent poovaragan) who is shown as the epitome of goodness. Thulukkanam is a Hindu name, FYI and what are the other examples? if he can 'expose' brahmins (to use your own words), what stops him from exposing more sinister individuals from other communities? especially when he doesnt even consider himself as a brahmin or a hindu? dig ///being a brahmin is not by birth, but by virtues. KH was never one, IMHO/// end dig. |
