“Rudra Thandavam” Review: A Dangerous Job to “Destroy” the Caste of Caste-Based Violence
A college couple and a group of young teenagers who seem to lack clarity or political beliefs are the Mohan- ji- Movies. Me, Rudra Thandavam’s favorite audience. Needless to say, it was a very unusual, but very believable, Friday morning scene in the theater for Mohan G. I hope you now know that his films are a difficult attempt to win over the divisive and divisive politics of the castes, now along with the religion in Rudra Thandavam, which presents a very dangerous doctrine to the audience. In the form of entertainment, a crowd of young adults escalates and begins a method of celebrating it with an insulting conversation or a skit directed at the marginalized sections of society.
In contrast to Dra Dra Pati, Mohan ji seems to have put the water to the test with his “ideology” and to have played it safe. , In a shocking way. Let me explain.
Last May, a black man was shot and killed by three policemen, one of whom was a white man, who pressed his knees near the man’s neck for about eight minutes, resulting in a gruesome murder that was recorded on camera at full daylight. . In fact, tens of thousands of people took to the streets against American hegemony and police brutality, which has a history among African Americans, and the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag started something of a revolution in the West. He was murdered in the death of George Floyd Derek and is now sentenced to life in prison for third and second degree murders. Now imagine a filmmaker who, according to his “politics”, eliminates and destroys the racial aspect and advocates death. Do you call it comfortable or toneless?
Near the house we take another brutal murder in which a father and son duo are brutally tortured and killed by two guards. The case that shook Tamil Nadu last year is believed to have been caste-related. Now, if a filmmaker advocates police torture, what is he doing to create a link between caste and religion? Does that seem dangerous? Rudra Thandavam film.
Here Mohan ji directly attacked his critics for inviting him to a box job in criticism, a movie he had never seen before but knew politics well. The result? We still get the controversial image.
Everything from the place where Rudran Prabhakaran (Richard Rishi) was transferred to the posters on the walls of the political leaders of Vadapi Rajan (played by Gautam Menon as the leader of the human rights movement), the selection of the respective roles seems to have one suggests commonalities between them. The Lamb in this attack was Gautam Menon. The
story doesn’t seem like the best option for Mohan G; He introduces a dangerous notion: Crypto-Christians primarily attack Dalit Christians, who, according to the director, benefit from the virtues of caste, even if they change. It turns out that a child’s social credentials are controversial in the courtroom. There’s a whole story about why Dalits fled to Christianity, but Rudra Thandavam doesn’t seem interested. He wants “other”.
These are moral questions, but does it have at least the aesthetics of a police film? No. Everything from music to acting. I especially like the fact that the sickle of music hits the ceiling and there should be more decibels to save us from the talkie part.
Speaking of acting:
Gautam Menon plays the villain here. It may seem alien to the context of the movie, which is definitely a problem, but it is somewhat minor compared to the big well. I believe that it is not the job of a filmmaker to comment on an actor’s choice of characters, and that the actor has the right to play a morally flawed role. But it is about being part of a film that is fundamentally wrong in many films, whose policy is too low. Sure, you might be disappointed by Ka Gautam’s admission, but if you think it’s wrong, this is a good place to drop this discussion.
