Once in a while there comes a movie which makes me so
passionate that I write a review of it. But very rarely comes a movie which
makes my blood boil. I mean this movie is all about hatred – it is intended to
bring out everything that Kamal Hassan hates. It is ok to focus on your personal hatred –
however some of the themes in this movie are highly consistent with his
previous movies and highly distracting from the main story.
To start with – why should Kamal portray as a gay in this
movie and dance to a Krishna song as a Brahmin? It seems like an attempt to
mock the gay community. It doesn’t stop there. In all his movies he needs to
mock or put down the Brahmin community. These are a bunch of people who are
highly tolerant of everything and would not raise a voice against anything. In
this movie, he uses words such as Papathy which is very derogatory of Brahmins,
on top of it he also makes fun of them saying they are experts at eating meat –
all unwanted to the story line. Kamal
could make a movie just to make fun of the things he hates and could call it
Viswa comedy or something. A lot of
scenes in this movie is highly distracting, doesn’t move the story forward or
reveal about the character. Even the Kathak song – what is the point of it?
I would say it is pretty offensive to the Muslim community.
Why would a Muslim Indian Army person change his name to a Hindu Brahmin and
live in NYC? Why would he go to Afghanistan? Nothing makes sense. As always there are dialogues which make fun
of Hindu gods , he says “Which God?” . He also makes fun of the fact that Hindu
gods have 4 hands and that we dunk our gods in the ocean - highly distracting,
not relevant to the story. What is the point of the movie?
It is just an
opportunity for Kamal to vent out his anger and frustration. The amount of
violence that too really unwanted speaks of the level of perversion in Kamal’s
mind.
I would like to bring out these points to Kamal’s attention
1)
Please stop making fun of the Brahmin community
2)
Please stop making fun of Hindu Gods
3)
If a person is God fearing doesn’t mean they are
bad people
4)
Please stop directing and stick to acting. Your
thoughts are extremely perverse and not fit to be shared with the rest of the
world.
