Thematically rich like European movies

Warning: Spoilers
This review an attempt not to be one among the high class or not just a drop and come out with criticism.Just tried to be a common and sensitive type on this. Fans had to learn or evolve and just receive work, i.e., be content receiver and not jump on contenders,precisely not getting carried away by the examples(allusions analogy symbolism and metaphors in stories). Before shedding some time and money on a movie i know what not to expect and this movie is not been done to satisfy audience rather themselves(which in a way satisfies audience also sometimes and sometimes not) , i.e., this turn on movie making by the makers could be on for institutionalized awards. Again its just a story and focusing only on theme, as story is mere vehicle of theme(The story is sort of Shakespearean tragedy genre and thematically rich, an European film approach and theme driven/focused indeed, movie buffs might be aware of this on what to expected on the genre and approach but difficult for non movie buffs).

Usually this kind of theme people either choose in start(rarely like K.B, Aishwarya Dhanush) or end(Chaplin) and rarely in middle(could this be?Kamal and Raj Kapoor), the theme is death. This movie reminded me of Chaplin's Limelight and Raj Kapoor's My name is Joker both of these works coming during their end of their life/careers. All these artists finally showed their real face shedding their make-ups first and last time.This movie celebrates like Osho tells us to celebrate the Death. Interestingly this could be even beginning of someone's life as Alfred Nobeldid get to inspire to instill Awards in his name seeing people's reaction on his death news which published by mistake.

The scene which moved me like the most is the one by his son who himself never been serious before supporting his father before he bids adieu. It reminded me a scene in the Spanish movie the sea inside where the boy runs behind the Van which takes his uncle to hospital.Apart, there is something in this movie which reminded me of the movie Indran Chandran(a Telegu movie) as well. The irony which itself remains on 2 tracks qualifies this one to be a story to be told. The first 30 minutes actor showing the real face is a great risk like superstar does it for Baba which the actor is champion for. The literary contents and comedy are just okay as it looks like not very new as in Dasavatharam(2008). The realism in the movie shows Kamal Haasan's influence of Malayalam movies( a art/award/documentary/parallel movie stamp which sometimes a curse or blessing based on the depth of character,situation and story backdrop/background and the realism is the gap or silence for the viewers heart to be filled but realism mostly divorces from entertainment for some i guess ). His last minutes reveal that next birth also an artist which reveals the spirit of showmanship. The artists will always be there nobody dies for that matter. They never die, i mean nobody does they leave something-their marks and genes.
