An interesting discussion on theology in Kamal’s films here. If you are interested, go through and if a between reviews materialises on it, would be great. But I guess br also has to be current so I might have to wait for some group to lynch kamal to get you to do a br on it

You mean the link above? I went through it a bit, though I guess I had far more time to idle-browse and idle-debate when I was actually employed by someone else and was wasting their time.

Dear Baradwaj Rangan,
I don’t know if this the the right place to ask this question, i haven’t found any other section in your website to post a general question.
Most of the reviews you write are about Hindi, English and Tamil films. But there are really wonderful films made across the world every year, for example last year alone there were many beautiful films got made like: Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (Turkey) Elena (Russia) Pina (Germany) Turin Horse (Hungary)etc. Why are you not writing about it and introducing these gems to the large no of people who read your reviews?
I am asking this from a deep feeling that we are loosing the finer taste of appreciating great cinema, and moved into an age of celebrating mediocrity. i sincerely wish critics like you could make a difference if you write about great films made in rest of the world. Cinema is alive and kicking beyond Hollywood, Bollywood, Kollywood……people should know about it.
Thanks
Hari

Just finished reading your book, it was a great pleasure especially the Iruvar part was fantastic (It’s my favorite film of Mani Ratnam). I am very glad you did this. My heartiest thanks/wishes to you.
I have some questions to ask, since you are also a screen writer, I thought of posting this question-
When you were asking Mani about the screenwriting, he said ‘His screenplay will be more structured where as Hasini’s will be free flowing’. What is the basic difference we see here?
Can a screenplay be structure as Mani said? Just want to know about the nuances of screenwriting. It will be great if I get chance to meet you in person.
Note: I got the autographed copy of your book at Cognizant.

BR – Sharing this because the writing (and the general rumination style) reminded me of you.
