When going through a list of inevitable filmmakers, Balu Mahendra tops the list.
What's so special about him?
Kamal Hassan says,
Balu Mahendra is the only director who is capable to balance art and
commercial cinema.
Recently, I saw Moondram Pirai, which starrs Kamal Hassan and Late Sridevi in the lead roles.
Sridevi is introduced as a carefree and modern girl , but unfortunate incidents transforms her
and takes her to another city.
After meeting an accident, she is pushed to amnesia and thereby prostitution.
Thanks to the cult nature of friend of Kamal Hassan, he and his friend go to the prostitution
centre. Consequently, Kamal Hassan meets 7 yr old Sridevi, and excavates her as he does in his
movie "Mahanadhi" where he retrieves his daughter.
The 7 yr old Sridevi has a good time with Kamal Hassan, they play like children as if to
question whether they were friends from childhood.
The plot's climax and probably the loyalty of Sridevi is come to test, when an old woman urges
Kamal Hassan to consult her to a nearby Ayurveda doctor, and at the same time, her parents are
informed that she is spotted in Ooty. The scenes cuts simentaneously to Sridevi 's treatment.
treatment and her parent's arrival to the city.
Sridevi is cured, and there is limited time for happy Kamal and the chase starts towards Sridevi
who is arriving towards the railway station.
When comparing to Tamil cinema's climax template of Railway station of Madhavan's film in
2000's , this film has betrayal attack to the innocent Kamal hassan and a harsh reaction from
our audience.
In the film titled "Run", where Vivek holds a vessel claming his identity and familiarity to
Madhavan. This scene is inspired from Moondram Pirai.
That's it all for today.
