Poetry in motion.
A Ballad, is a form of verse, often a narrative set to music.
This forms historically was used by poets.
Nalan Kumarasamy in complete control of his craft, narrates this intoxicating poetry of love with elegance and grace befitting the gods. Bear with the deceptively sedate start, the pieces fall well in place to deliver a satisfying experience.
His go to man is Santhosh Narayanan, effortlessly steals the thunder from everybody. Be prepared to experience goose bumps time and again throughout the narrative.
As Madonna Sebastian appears, the hall is filled with hoots of Celine. Well she is as pleasant as she can be and will be seen in many more films.
For Vijay Sethupathi it is walk in the park. Quite a great pleasure to have watched this movie along with his greatest fan, my daughter, Shreya Raghunath,
This yet another proof Love stories in Indian cinema will never die, new directors will time and again surface to narrate yet another love story and keep the genre eternally alive.
This movie should never had an interval!!!!
This tool shall pass. Even Love shall pass(the title of the movie). But God, our lord, Santhosh(literally translated as Happy)'s music hopefully remains in sublime form as he is in today.
A blessing, for which we are and shall be eternally grateful.
P.S.: I guess all is not hunky dory with the IT Industry, but to make mockery of them, was a unwanted distraction in an otherwise tastefully directed film
