Mandela, Tamil Movie, streaming on Netflix

A lovely adaptation of 'It is a wonderful life'.

Three standouts moments for me.

The first was the naming of the protagonist, Mandela, a beautiful adaptation of 16 Vayathinile. 'Mayil' naming 'Chappani' as Gopalakrishnan. BY the way Mandela may have been sculpted out of 'Chappani'.

Last year I had the opportunity to travel in and around Madurai during MGRs birthday. I experienced how alive he was for about 75 kilometers around Madurai. So the outrageously hilarious sequence of an old lady and her belief about MGR was so real that I have never laughed out so loud in recent times. Amazingly true and a slice of brilliance.

When Mandela is about to end his life, the young lady's voice reminded you of sequence of the the guardian angel in 'It is a wonderful Life' but little did I expect the climax to converge into a lovely adaptation of ' IT is a wonderful Life'.

Ultimately the power is in our hand to build our lives.
