Vazhaku En 18/9

Vazhaku En 18/9  epitomizes how the powerful medium of cinema can be exploited by empathetic and responsible filmmakers to arouse consciousness at a grass root level.  We not only live in a world which is flat but which has also gone awry. What are the forces, that technological evolution without proper regulatory  mechanisms, have unleashed? Has economic liberalization really translated into prosperity and happiness?  Whom do we look for any kind of leadership?  Is there any sanctity left for any of our institutions? Where will the mindless, selfish and greedy acts of our rat race lead us to?  Balaji Sakthivel delivers a knockout punch with VE 18/9, by harnessing his overwhelming concern and seething anger for the world around, weaving it against a backdrop of a poignant love story to produce a rare gem in Indian cinema. Go for it.
