Iruvar

I happen to see the Tamil movie Iruvar (Duo) today. The subtitle was really helpful as I cannot understand Tamil that well. I had heard many things about the movie but all of them came false. I think the movie is not only good but its excellent. Though the director claims it to be a fictitious , one can easily relate it to MGR and Karunanidhi. In Hindi, when you have a political drama its either pre-independence one or just relating to a single incident. It seems that there hasn't been a politician worth mentioning after the independence. In Iruvar the story spans a lifetime of the protogonist and antagonist with relation to each other, films and politics. I must emphasis that it was one of the best films Aishwarya Rai has done. All thanks to the maestro himself. The music composition is very good but the best I liked was Narugumaiye (may have spelled incorrectly). The song picturisation, the lyrics and the music was quite remarkable.
The story quite holds good even in contempory political scenario. One may identify Nasser character in phase with Bal Thackeray, Uddhav to Prakash Raj and Mohanlal to Raj Thackeray. The movie takes a quite an entirely new direction in political drama. It doen't show who is right or wrong, nor does it preach. It just goes through the lives of the two political figures.
