    All this doesn't mean (to clarify what should be obvious) that I am suggesting that Hey! Ram is anything remotely like a full-on commercial film like Dhool or Ayan (or kAkka kAkka to intentionally include the likes of Gautham Menon who often tend to get a "clean chit" in this regard). It is indeed a serious, offbeat film but nevertheless one made in the mainstream format. Other than that, its failures at an obvious level to reach out to its audiences is well known to all of us. Which Sakala and PR have also captured here...

    'ஹே ராம்' ஓடும்னு நெனச்சு தான் எடுத்தேன்' ந்னு சொல்ல்லிருக்கார், ஆனா ஒரு தலைமுறையை தயார்படுத்தவில்லை என்றும் சொன்னாரே. ஒரு சரித்திர படத்தில் கூட, சண்டை, பிரம்மான்டம், ராஜா காலத்து அரசியல் என மக்கள் விரும்பும் விஷயங்கள் இருக்கும். ஆனால் ஏனோ இந்த ப்ரீ-இன்டிபென்டென்ஸ் காலம் நிறைய பேருக்கு பிடிக்குதா என சந்தேகமாகவே இருக்கிறது. இதுவே படத்தின் தோல்விக்கு காரணமாகவும் படுகிறது.

    I can imagine many people being confused about what's going on.

    There is only one man responsible..Barrister Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

    Yes, the subject itself is quite muddled for Tamil with a catastrophic event that doesn't resonate all that much with people in this side of the country, the multiple languages involved and so on. And Kamal did reserve some bit of primacy to his Tamil identity, so it couldn't be made a proper Hindi film either. In that sense, he perhaps intended a truly pan-Indian film that he hoped would succeed.
