As I began to recollect my science teacher telling that ][b]white
light is composed of mainly red, green and blue, I thought
of what could have been on the mind of India's finest
director.[/b]An examination of sociopolitics[/b] ,the movie
oscillates from the past to present and in one point the flashback
merges with the present event. This same thing if you deploy as
three flashbacks which gets merged with the present through a
common incident, you get Aayitha Ezhuthu. Mani Ratnam chooses to
adopt a style of film-making which is still in its experimental
state, at least in India. The basic rule for the screenplay
is that there no rules
There lives in the slum streets, a man who seeks the gun to get big
money and status. He serves the politicians ill deeds, spoiling his
own hands.
There was this man who would challenge anything he feels is wrong.
He would even challenge the dirty politicians by contesting in the
elections as an opposition.
There, in the dim-lit, smoky, freaky discotheque, the guy syncs his
hips and hops with beauteous babes. He dreams: no violence, no
challenges, just girls, and fun, and US
and these are the three shades in the spectrum of today?s young
men?the three shades of YUVA.
A ManiRatnam film: As every ManiRatnam film has its own tale to
tell, AYUTHA EZHATHU (Tamil version of YUVA) tells about the
strength of young men and how each guy can sum up to make a strong
nation.
The climax of the film shows a strong young man sitting in the
assembly hall. That shows, the end of the film is a start for young
men in this country to take the ruling pride.
But YUVA, the lifestyle of young men, runs fast. YUVA, the film,
too runs fast. And ManiRatnam is the kind, who makes compact frames
and leaves the rest for the viewer to understand. So some moments
of the film look abrupt and absurd for a normal filmgoer.
The Last Line: It's nice to see a ManiRatnam film. It?s a
fortune to listen to his story. And it's a Bliss to understand the
inner sense of it.
As you stroll down the dark cinema hall to watch Aayitha Ezhuthu
and if you are a few minutes late, you might assume that
the climax is around. So begins the latest Mani Ratnam
flick Aayitha Ezhuthu. And hey, you needn't worry for there
is lot more to come and even if you miss this first scene, the
scene repeats more number of times than the cost of your
popcorn. Aayitha Ezhuthu is about serious cinema and not
just for the popcorn eating cinema commoner.[/b]
Hey, you must be watching Hindustan movie hehhh...
