Kaththi - A cardboard knife with a diluted message: Civil Servant!
Mr.Alex Paul Menon IAS has expressed his views on this film in no uncertain terms. It has been featured in the english daily The Indian Express. Read on- Quote " I have nothing against films and filmmakers, because they are merchants... But expecting social responsibility from them is like seeking medicine for cancer from quacks," " Chest thumping and punch dialogues are not going to save our lives.Keep an open mind,analyze the problem to find a solution and solve it.We are our own saviours,and that is the only way out.Instead of wasting time and money believing 'Attakaththi' (cardboard knife),sharpen your brains Tamils.People's leaders are there among us,in our villages;don't search for them on the screen" unquote
How true! Half baked research on serious issues facing the 'Aam aadmi'can cause more harm than benefit. Film makers like AR.Murugadoss should take a cue from Alex Paul Menon's observations as they hardly seem to care or respect criticism from film critics like yours truly!
Until Next Time,
Director Haricharan
