Kannathil Muthamittal

I have taken a long break from blogging. The long hours at office have given me very less time to do anything other than work.

The trigger to write a blog and the fact that I even own a blog was non-existent.

Yesterday, I was watching a movie, which is very close to my heart – Kannathil Muthamittal, which centers on child adoption. The movie deals with the effluences of an adopted child.


Directed by Mani Ratnam, this movie sets an exemplary for the kind of dialogues that can be used in an emotional subject line. The two word dialogues, for which the director has won acute reviews, from various critics, stand out to emphasize that minimal dialogues with supporting actors can etch the right kind of attitude whilst conveying the appropriate message.

The cinematography of the movie adds more ethnicity to the kind of theme being dealt with. The movie gradually moves from the lifestyle in a developed city to the refugees of Sri Lanka.

The topic of adoption being sensitive in its very nature and the storyline moving forward to the tense situation and the pathetic state of life in a country, which is being bombed, conveys the very essence with which a director can handle two concentric yet dissimilar subjects.

I personally cherish the movie for the personal connotation that I posses with the subject line and the kind of memories that it helps me recollect.
