One reason why I love to watch Tamil movies is that most of them have fantastic and least expected story ideas and twists. Most of them are offbeat and dont do well in the box office. As it usually happens, the general public being more keen on commercial stuff..
Yesterday I watched Naan Kadavul. Naan Kadavul (I am God) is a 2009 Tamil film co-written and directed by Bala, based on the Tamil novel Yezhaam Ulagam by Jayamohan who also penned the dialogues for the film. The film stars Arya and Pooja Umashanker in the lead roles. The music is composed by Ilaiyaraaja.
The movie begins with a man coming to Kashi in search of his son — a boy he abandoned 14 years ago on the advise of astrologers, who said he would only bring ill-luck to the family. Walking along the numerous ghats, in search of him. He finds him there but is shocked to learn that he has become an Aghori.
He begs his son’s guru and takes him home to Malaikoil in Tamil Nadu, but a boy used to the ways of the aghora can never adjust to the rules of society.
Rudra leaves his house and takes up residence among sadhus on a hilltop shrine, where physically challenged people are forced to beg by a syndicate run by the devilish Thandavan (Rajendran). The story continues..
I liked the Aghori idea and Arya's acting... But I had to FF most of the scenes with beggars coz, they were too long and detailed beyond my patience.
Baki thek hai.. :)
