Naan Kadavul
Beginning today, we will be covering the 21st century directors.
I have made a list of 15 important directors and their work. This series then will run for 14 more weeks.
Bala, technically made his first film in 1999. And then a streak of darkness, 'descendeth"...
Bala's films are dark and disturbing, a reflection, of the growing mistrust within the system.
Make no mistake he has influenced so many film makers, ARJUN REDDY is a film directly influenced by Bala.
His film making though is absolutely liberating.
I was in an extremely angry frame of mind when I stepped into to see Naan kadavul. I became absolutely calm within 30 seconds of the movie commencing.
Having said that while I appreciate Bala's angst and anger, I many times felt he could do with some counselling. I felt that especially with the kind of violence that was unleashed in a comedy like Avan Ivan.
Bala is such an important director and he can be so effective in narrating a story, it may be a good idea for him to take an objective middle path, so that it can influence youngsters positively
Bala's best is yet to come. And I just hope that he harnesses that anger to create some mind boggling stuff.
