Ashokism Award 2004...Kathal...


Iam no Tamil film buff. Living in Kabul for most part of 2005 , I didn't even keep track of most of the movies released.…But out of the 2 Tamil films I saw  , one is worth mentioning –Kathal.(the other was 'chandramuki' that can be watched for Jothika's climax dance performance and Vadivelu's lighter moments ) Kathal- even though the same old love-story of a rich girl eloping with a poor boy, the screen play was a whiff of fresh air.
Balaji Sakthivel’s direction set against the picturesque locales of Madurai was refreshing. The realities of Madurai have not been better portrayed in any other movie I can recall. The typical Madurai lingo, the culture and the 'casteist' social life are beautifully captured

  1. Unga oorunnadhum pullarichchirukkumae. :-). But that was a good movie, especially the Madurai Lingo.

    BTW, Some andhra guy called Kunda from our college had left a message for you in my blog
