Naan Kadavul

Iam not a regular movie buff, but the stunned acceptance of the factual documentary that "Naan Kadavul", the movie can actually do to the audience is proof enough.And being one of those laidback viewers who has been cynical and creatively compassionate of the regular run of the mill, the essence (or the lack of it?) did manage to churn things down my own set of life theories... Used to identifying with clinical acceptance of existence and closing in from the inside, the rawness that attacks those lying low (In forced contentment, thanks to meltdowns caving in) with sheer openess found in the movie's naked truth(s), makes it worth a watch. Its like going into the darkest of hours (The last show for the day,an add on extra effect:)) in motion picture platform that travels from darkness to light. The ugly face of our country, in remote villages specially, where poverty vandalism with beggers being bought for a sum and sold off, umnimdful of their family connections and roots, forms the core. While beggers by themselves are not "supposed" to buy material happiness, by way of their karmic existence, what they manage to do is render those giving them alms debtless and make individual accountability possible, as per the religious beliefs ruling India. Whether the aggressively detached and self proclaiming God, Rudra (Aarya), an Aghori, gets back to his family that abandons him in his early childhood days, (owing to astrological reasons that predict impending doom to his family), reclaiming him from programmed tenets "Aham Brahmasmi", forms the rest of tne story. And caught in the vagaries of the nomadic poor and their day to day lives is another such begger Hamsavalli (Pooja), who is bought to this part of the village where her visually challenged world becomes more darker and disfigured and begs for release from life in itself.Rudra's reason to be,to do just that and move on to higher realms of his calling for life is a befitting ending.
