I just went ahead and ordered every R. Balachander movie on Netflix with subtitles. Which means I ended up watching the remake of Apoorva Raagangal instead of the original. I hate it when I do that! Oh well, at least I’ve seen some version of it now, even if it isn’t the “good” version.
Second week that I am managing a Tamil Tuesday! And an actual good film this time, another R. Balachander. If I were still watching movies in a wild and unplanned manner, I would be zipping through all his films on youtube and probably getting super confused as to what happened in which. But with my new alliterative schedule theory, I have to hold off. Or else zip through and then schedule all my posts out for the next several Tuesdays. We’ll see what I end up doing.
Did I say before that Rajshri has a TON of Balachander movies for free on their youtube channel? They do! I don’t know why, but who questions a miracle? So now I have seen another incredibly early and, I assume, classic Balachander movie. Really early actually, this film is from 1968 whereas Moodru Mudichu was 1976.
