Cleansing the Sins of Kaala and Kabali
After the brilliant Pariyerum Perumal, comes the thought provoking IUKG.
While Pa Ranjith themes are consistent and resonant with his past films, I love Pa Ranjith, the patron of arts.
Two things stood out for me.
I have great pleasure in sharing the Lyric video of 'Iruchi'. Exhilarating. Listen to the 'Udukkai'. The foot tapped unconsciously. When we have patrons and artists like Ranjith, I am sure, the art form of 'Therukoothu' will indeed survive.
I think about the way, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was shown, not very sure if it was an animation or a sequence of stills, the creative process was heartwarming. I guess old clips of the bombings may have not had the necessary impact on a tragic retelling of the event.
In some ways the movie could remind you of Babel at a concept level but it is an interesting and important film coming from the heart. I am sure there are bound to be conversations on the impact of war, empathy, communism, casteism and Arts.
In easily digestible commercial template, I guess the movie has the propensity to reach a broad cross section of people.
