Anbe Sivam

Anbe Sivam - one of the most meaningful movie I have ever seen. I saw this movie for first time four years back when I was in college. I really regret for not watching this movie in theater, at least once. Though i felt that it was a good movie, i did not get the exact crux of the movie when i watched it for first time. Recently, i saw this movie again in one of the local television channel. I could not find enough words to praise this movie. In a scene where Madhavan donates his blood to save a small boy's life and later he dies, I was totally engrossed in the movie and it made me to give a second thought on existence of god. But then, I am still a believer of god... may be coz I was inculcated like that... :-)

At some places during the second part of the movie, Kamal used to refer many people as God. On all such scenes, he reasons his sayings based on LOVE; on which the entire movie is based on. This movie showed me various dimensions of LOVE- including the conventional, quite cinematic love between Kamal and Kiran:-). In particular, I loved the love between Venkadesh and Uma Riyas - quite realistic, male bonding between Kamal and Madhavan at the end and last but not the least, the love between Kamal and Sangu, his dog.

At the end of the movie, it somehow convinces the viewers to believe LOVE is GOD and GOD is love. It is up to them how they take it in their part.

A memorable line from the title song .. " manathin neelam ethuvo athuvey vazhvin neelamada" .. Don't confine love. Let our love stretch out infinitely to all others. When our love madai thiranthu thavum pothu, our varum kalam will be, vasantha kalam .. naalum mangalam ..

p.s: it is pathetic that this movie was a flop and did not fetch a national award even though it greatly deserves so. :(.. enna kodumai sir ithu !!!
