i be a big follower of indian movie especially malayalam and tamil . shame on india for not send this movie a their official oscar entry . i have see this movie and it have clearly reveal to me the maturity tamil cinema have in it screenplay and narrative which bollywood well catch up with . by the way to all we westerner and tamil cinema be more qualitative and very different from bollywood which be all about good look glamour and promotion . come to the point what be india thinking when they send a movie like devdas to the oscar . that be a really a masochist move . i think they be try to punish oscar judge with boredom by send devdas since the judge topple lagaan last year . devdas be just a brigthly color but stale and predictable melodrama of love and fate and destiny . i would keep away from it . anyway and not send a movie like kanathil muthital show how much of a revamp indian administration need to save them from poor administrator who lack intelligence . now i know why this country have so many issue . they be heavily talented but not showcased properly .
