And every character represents a response to moral questions for an individual in society
Muthusamy: uniform pOtta udhavi seyya mudiyAdhu (Why not? He is also a pawn in the system. He considers himself powerless. He is limited by his situation - presumably merely the fact of having a family imposes wrought iron limits on what he can and cannot do? How different is he from Panchapakesan?)
naaLaikku kaalaila naan duty-ku pOgumbOdhu nee en veet..en paadhukaappula irukka koodaadhu
It is not just a polite alternative.
prachanaiyE idhu dhaan. If veedu is catch-all for man functioning honestly, being what he is, then that is exactly what is suppressed when he is functioning in society, performing his duties.
Societal anger amounts to little, unless one is willing to suffer personal losses for it, overcoming the instinct of self-preservation - as Krishnaswamy's act of severing his arm symbolizes.

I can literally visualize all the scenes you and Stardust brought with utmost details and insights. Watched many times during its release, will have watch it again. The follow-up song (bengali and the thamizh versions) to this entire situation is just breath-taking and I can't hide my tears when his daughter lies on his shoulder and Kamal looking away controlling his emotions and tears.

எங்கேயோ திக்கு தெசை காணாத தூரம் தான்
எம்மாடி வந்ததென்ன என் வாழ்கை ஓடம் தான்
காவேரி தீரம் விட்டு கால்கள் வந்ததடி
காணாத சோகம் எல்லாம் கண்கள் கண்டதடி
கை மாறி நான் வளர்த்த பச்சைக்கிளி போனது
கண்ணார நானும் காண இத்தனை நாள் ஆனது
இரு கண்ணே செந்தமிழ் தேனே
தந்தையின் பாசம் வென்றதடி
பசும் பொன்னே செவ்வந்தி பூவே
இத்துடன் சோகம் சென்றதடி
நாம் கங்கா நதியை காணும் பொழுது உண்மை விளங்குது
அட இங்கே குளிக்கும் மனிதன் அழுக்கில் கங்கை கலங்குது
சில பொல்லா மனங்கள் பாவக்கறையை நீரில் கழுவுது
இந்த முட்டாள்தனத்தை எங்கே சொல்லி நானும் அழுவது

i think panjapakesan realizes why they are angry and beating kamal.. thats why from the beginning he says 'avar vandhu... indha ponnoda appaa avar'...
adikkireengalae... pommanaattiyaa irundhuttu - adhu vera department...
indha scene discussions already idhae PR panjaayatthula senjirukkomnaalum, pudhusu pudhusaa perspectives vandhuttae irukku...
kaatchiyum onnudhaan... kannum onnudhaan... but the mentality in which we sees such scenes evoke different perspectives every time... (adhu engalukku theriyaadhaa..)
nallaa peruvechirukkangayya PR'nu...

Thanks to stardust and PR I am gonna revisit mahandhi....I still remember the day I watched the movie completely in 2002. Till then I was strongly advised by my grandmother and mother to not watch the movie lest you wanted to fall into depression. But only then did I realise that I had missed a masterpiece all this while....

MAhanadhi is one of my all time favorites..the only spoiler was the romance of kamal-suganya..wrong time-le varum
IIRC, there was one touching scene and immediately after that Kamal will be ready to romance suganya..jail-le kuda sila irukum..when the kids and suganya visited him, he showed more interest towards suganya than his kids..
15 years back pakkum bothum pidikile..i might change my opinion if i revisit it again

That is what I mean when I say, yes only Kamal can do these films, but should he be doing them when he can do so much so much more with his time and energy.
Neengalum sollinde irrukkel.Avar kekkara maadhiri theriyale.Depression-le irukkaro?
That's why probably doing Dasa,VR(which is unlikely to be anywhere close to Mahanadhi or Guna)to pull himself out of it.

Oh My friend(telegu)-Deivakuzhandhai/Pappa nadichu naan paartha mudhal padam.She is beautiful,graceful,expressive,dubbed so cannot comment on her voice/modulation.
Mathapadi ok film.Nothing very impressive nor anything bad.Enna,unlike most films where a boy and girl are best friends,get into relationships with others and then realize they actually love each other,this one maintains that they remain friends till the end.
Siddharth also does well but Thanikella Bharani was impressive as always.
Reading all the posts about Sruthi,feel she is being put under a microscope just because she happens to be Kamal's daughter.Whatever I saw,I liked,

Unselected.
Nothing shows the human-ness of Krishnaswamy as his love. During my younger days,NOV kitta saNdai pOttirukkEn.
Also remember
Krishnaswamy: andha manju poNNu avvaLO nallava illai mA
Saraswathi ammaL: sari, adhukku enna ippo....oh!
And even in that love, the extraordinariness of the situation is something that- Panchapakesan - a man who has also seen his world shake, is not willing to engage with. He is insistent on clinging on to the social mores
yamunA, en mookku-kaNNaadiyai paarthiyAmmA
Kamal's got all bases covered 'nga. Not a frame is there without thought. Touch paNNikka mudiyAdhu.
Talk me.
