Just saw the trailer of Vaathi, it felt very generic. I had to skip though part of the trailer cause it was that boring 😅 Will decide whether to watch it or not based on the review BR puts up.
But liked the interview though, it was refreshing to hear someone be so candid about failures. Although, I didn’t understand what he meant by keeping it simple. Did he mean dumbing it down so everyone could understand or keep it focused to the core of the movie and not add unnecessary/unrelated stuffs.
