A movie.only for the very strong hearted.why?/
Naan Kadavul is not your entertainer.but a documentary.which takes you into the insides of somethings which we encounter everyday and something which we may or maynot ever encounter.
Beggars: they are present everywhere
Aghoris: they are rarely seen except in some places and some periods(Kumbh Mela)
The Director its rumoured.Baalu took some 2/3 years to make the movie as he needed authentic characters not actors.
Its two stories woven together.The Aghori who lives in his state of trance.and the Beggars.who exist only because they need to survive.
The movie takes a clear view about the life of Beggars and the mafia which controls it. It looks at the comic portrayl of erstwhile movie stars and Gods and Goddess by Beggars frm which they etch out their living.
You may want to cry at the plight of the beggars.you may get angry with yourselves.as you might feel.not able to do anything for them.and then you decidely surrender yourselves and look aside.ignoring them.
Aghori.they are different.i actually cannot explain.but you feel a lot of energy just by looking at the Actor Arya portraying the role.the character could have been more braodened.but the director has allowed to mystify them.
The Blind girl is excellent.as also the handless / legless Baba.yes they exist.you need to watch the movie for that
Watch this movie alone preferably.and ponder over.two distinct realities.
the one who lives only to surive till the next morning and
the one for whom survival is never a goal in itself
