Thank you for mentioning his march fast scene. That is the moment he made all of us to forget SK and start seeing him as Major Mukund. His work is phenomenal in this role, but still people are comparing him with other actors, it's so pathetic.
Great review Sudhir and a big fan of your work.I absolutely loved the movie and I now respect the sacrifice of an army person’s family even more than I did, which I think is the core intention of the film. One aspect to counter your POV though is we are seeing the events unfold through Indhu’s eyes and for her all that matters is Mukundh and not really who is right and who is wrong politically . Also, there is this scene where the director probably provides his statement through Mukundh saying ‘Namma pesi yenna proyojanam. Pesa vendiya avanga pesanum’.
nobody reviewed like you.... intha padathoda screenplay pinnadi oru mikaperiya arasiyal puthanchi kidakkura maathiri oru feeling... amaran one of the best love story,
And yea bro I agree with you , I would love to see you contemplate why terrorists are the way they are when they are actively terrorising , say in a setup like Pandit family in early 90s or during taj attack in mumbai ! Being woke is important in face of religious terror , that will make them realize, hey look this dude is enlightened.. thats it he changed my mind .. to take up peace ✌️ I wonder if you would have a similar take say in a movie like karnan or maamannan , as in look to empathize with castists ... Look to understand their emotional justification for why they are and why we should respect their views too..
Natchathiram Nagargirathu is pretty much that. A whole film empathising and understanding a casteist sexist man’s mindset and capturing his transformation. I could give you many examples. But you have simplified what I said. My point wasn’t that terrorists need sympathy. It is that even public protest techniques are equated with terrorism. It is that a bullet to anyone’s head doesn’t deserve wide eyed celebration (when you’re treating a real world issue and when you’re speaking only on behalf of those who keep kill count). And brother, it’s possible to love a film for many things AND feel like maybe it could’ve handled a couple of things with a bit more sensitivity. Doesn’t mean the whole film needs to be judged by it.
@@sudhir.srinivasan It appeared that your intentions were evident even before watching the movie. During your interview with the director, you frequently steered the discussion toward darker aspects of human nature, suggesting that the portrayal of army men carried an undertone of machoism and that society imposes “sacred” roles on martyrs’ wives. Despite the director’s repeated emphasis on the film’s focus on societal dynamics-celebrating the diversity within the group and the self-sacrificing spirit of the soldiers-you continued to explore themes of individual self-interest over collective sacrifice, (Roja or Kaatru Veliyidai.) Would you apply this same critical lens to other issues, such as questioning directors about ethical contradictions, like consuming meat for personal pleasure? For instance, you could ask, “You speak about equality and consideration for all lives in society, yet also praise the taste of young calf meat. How does this align with your values?” However, you seem to accept such contradictions without question.
I totally disagree with your last opinion. They never killed a single civilian. Didn't you notice the scene where Major Mukund goes and talks about peace with Althaf Baba's dad? Then only they decide to kill him. They cleared nearly 1500 families in one operation. Even at last also two of them died to save many civilians only who were kept as hostages. So how come you say it's blood thirst?
Sudhir jee: We need to accept reality first,All's fair in love and war---- we can never/should pass any judgement on our soldiers who are in the borders. Irony: on the way back home after movie- I see drunk people on roads are 1pm noon- those soldiers are fighting for these guys too. Wake up to reality(Madara)
good review but when you get into details you spoil the whole beauty, analysis paralysis is the problem nowadays, nalla padam aanalum..... there goes thank god roja and bombay were not made in 2020s ither good films like would have been butchered too, wish Amaran was made few years ago, though not seen kudos to Kamal for ateats taking this huge effort
You are saying its politics are not correct...but soldiers have to follow the instructions given by their head ...head has to follow instructions given by the government officials... This is the way, it works in every country... We have to see Mukund & his martyrdom...its a biopic..
Sudhir, unless you have been on the front and being part of an army there’s no way to understand the emotions of handling enemy , etc. sorry , you can’t sit in the couch and judge them. War against terror has to be celebrated and juxtaposed with victory and happiness . I won’t judge you for your views. But your views lack experience
Hi, you’ll find that I’m not judging Mukund, or the army itself. These are thoughts about the film’s view of Kashmir, stone pelting, etc, and the emotions it wants to incite in the said matter. As I said, it’s a film I really enjoyed as a love story; so let’s all please not be reductive.
Fair , Sudhir. I never claimed you did. celebration of killing of terrorists etc is a very nuanced emotion from the pov of a soldier . I’d say viewing it as a generic human emotion that we all ‘learn’ is reductive . But I do agree with you that it’s a very well made love story 👍🏼
@@NinjashankYes. If the said soldier rejoices over it, I get it, but I’ll want to see the film not getting carried away by it, I think. Or to encourage similar manic rejoicing in those who watch it. This comments space may not be best suited to elaborate further on it, but I tried my best in the video to ensure it doesn’t come as a critique of Mukund or those like him.
Hi sudhir, your qns cannot be explained in a biopic film because this film shiwcase the journey of Major MUKUND but yes in a normal masala film. Only the politicians can solve the issues with the peoples in kashmir not the army
Bro what government should do? Cancel army and just keep UN mission and talk to terrorist? So by just talking terrorist going to put down their weapons?
@@sudhir.srinivasanmukund was a tamil iyengar. they deliberately hide his identity in movie and changed into other caste (hero called his father as Naina). why no one talk about this biased movie makers? it was happened in sorarai potru movie also, captain gopinath was tamil brahmin but not presented a original identity... evvalavu vanmam
Sudhir, disappointed that you never spoke about how the hero’s identity was distorted. He was a Brahmin in real life but the movie deliberately portrays the opposite (“nainaa”). And everyone knows why. Imagine if he was actually a Nadar and they showed him as a Brahmin. The movie wouldn’t have seen the light of day. Why Brahmin identity distortion isn’t even an issue?
Actually, it’s not true. Amaran for instance didn’t ‘offend’ me. But I do think it’s possible to think aloud about the potential pitfalls of certain portrayal, especially when viewed from the perspective of powerful systems. None of this means that the film itself isn’t deserving of plaudits for its merits, or that it needs to be ‘woke’. Some day, we’ll hopefully reach a space where we can have civil conversations about such nuances.
Heroine family was shown as Christian and Hero family shown as Hindu. They don’t go into which sect within Hindu or Christian they belong to. Don’t knit pick some issue in the movie assuming some hidden agenda.
@@KrishnanV9so much of Brahmin bashing happens on any given opportunity both by govt and media, definitely we want Brahmins to be shown in positive way atleast once. The same they did with it soorarai potru portraying capt gopinath.
@@balajimk8439 Agree with you on Capt. Gopinath in Sooraraipoatru movie. That was genuinely a wrong portrayal. Sadly Capt.Gopinath himself did not object for him to be shown as another caste. He himself did not stand up to be portrayed correctly. As for Amaran, just felt it was lack of detailing for which Director can’t be blamed for having ulterior motive.

You are saying its politics are not correct...but soldiers have to follow the instructions given by their head ...head has to follow instructions given by the government officials...
This is the way, it works in every country...

Hi Sudhir were u working for Hindu newspaper?
Many summers ago, I wrote for them, yes.

He didn't even marry a brahmin but a malayali christian. Which takes him well out of your cult. Hard time hiding your casteist ass?
I’m not understanding you sir . So we should not fight against terrorism ? .. please stop your propaganda
He thinks that he talks human rights😂😂😂😂 forgot that it's terrorist rights
yes, eveery movie has to be woke otherwise it offends sudhir.

You lost my respect, I will never watch your review again.
Sir, why creators left MUKUND original caste while portraying. Is it because Kamal with ruling party who don't like Brahmins?
Heroine family was shown as Christian and Hero family shown as Hindu. They don’t go into which sect within Hindu or Christian they belong to. Don’t knit pick some issue in the movie assuming some hidden agenda.
