An example for Cheap Direction!

SPOILER ALERT

The controversial director Saami, who loves making movies with disgusting themes, has paraded his perversion yet again. All his movies have been certified as 'Adult only', which, I am sure Saami would feel proud about. I liked his earlier films, not for his film-making but for its brave concept. His films evoke interesting discussion on public forums and on blogs. One should know what and how to make a movie. He is a perfect example for students of film-making on how not to make a movie.

Sindhu Samaveli is about a forbidden relationship within the family but except for Saami, none would understand what the director has tried to showcase in the film. He is brave enough to reveal his inspiration, Ivan Turgenev's First love . But it looks like Saami wanted to present the Tamil audience with perfect B-grade soft porn film. The movie is about a relationship between daughter-in-law and her father-in-law. One shouldn't question how pervert the director can be? Well, that's not the point here. There are millions of instances and incidents that happen across the country. In fact, there are relationships which are much more disgusting. But when it comes to film making, there needs to be some sort of finesse.

Balachandar's Aboorva Raagangal too dealt with such a theme. But Balachandar's handled the issue well with well-etched out emotions sans vulgarity. And there are millions of such movies which even got nominated for Oscars from world cinema. There are movies describing the intimate relationship between a mother and son have been conveyed poetically.

The director has shown the love between the lead pair (actual pair), a boy who is younger than his beloved by 3 years. The hero's dream of becoming a teacher makes him to go out of the city for a teacher training institute. This makes his wife and his father to be alone in the house. Earlier instances have shown the father character to be a service man and he has lost his wife in an accident. The director has also shown the father character as someone who had very less chance to enjoy sexual pleasures since he was fighting for the country in far away lands. When these two characters were alone, the father character who never really had any intentions, suddenly changes when he gets to see her assets. Such series of instances makes him go wild and mistake happens. But the daughter-in- law also started to have similar feelings and the next sequences of scenes show them as husband wife relationship. To explain the way the scenes were picturised gives the audience a feeling or even a message that 'Do not leave your wife alone and go to a different place'.

Either the director should have shown such a relationship as real love and not just longing for their bodies. The movie had the following to make it an example for non-sense movie making.

They are:

• Poor acting

• Non sense music

• Sick screenplay

• Irritating comedy

• Cheap direction

Verdict : Careful where you want to watch this movie!!!!
