Way back in the mid 80's, a cousin of mine and me, watched Fanny and Alexander at Shankunathalam at Pragati Maidan. I turned up my cousin's house the next day after noon and updated her that I had caught up with 'Thooral Ninnu Pochu' morning show. She could not believe what I did.
After three decades, I continue to indulge myself in such contrasting viewing, the "Class' and 'Mass' movies, with the same motivation and appetite, that blur the As and Bs and Cs inside me.
I had caught up with Michael Henneke' 'Cache' (Thanks to my brother in law for the DVD), only yesterday and was just blown away, but found motivation enough to see 'Kadai Kutty Singham', today(thanks to Amazon Prime). I was again blown away in successive days, to find the most unexpected wisdom in a film which claim's to be a 'farmer's movie.
Ilavarasu(the character) decides to commit suicide. On a parting note he asks his Co-brother(who constantly wears the Safari suit) that his last wish, was that, when he at least comes for his last rites, to his funeral, he be spared with an appearance without the Safari suit.
Oh! My God, I have hated the Safari suit for nearly forty years and here comes a screen writer, whose infinite wisdom, captures a REALITY, not very late in our time
