Ruminations on Randomness: A tense riveting watch

Chimbudevan, at heart  is a philosopher, extremely creative with an extraordinary sense of humour. Humour is something that you may not expect from this film.

Part Cloud Atlas, part Babel and probably part from his own Arai Enn 305, Chimbudevan, sets us on tense riveting ride  across 6 stories that keep us engaged( Not an anthology)

I thought some of the techniques to reflect upon the interconnectedness was novel. I do not want to dwell upon it as it could be a spoiler.

With six cinematographers and six musicians, there were some interesting formats. The music was uneven. I though the background score for the first story made it even listening to the dialogue difficult). Santhosh Narayan's song was terrific in the 6th episode. I thought arriving at a consistent background theme could have enhanced the experience. 

With about 4 stories this could have been more easy to digest. With so much happening, it was difficult to crunch and keep track. I  felt rushed through.

I am not complaining, as I am a great fan of experimentation. The end product is definitely consumable and interesting. 

There is food for thought!! 

Here is the parting thought from the film maker

Is God a protector or a prankster?
