I have been watching Hollywood and foreign movies for past several years and have grown to love the art form. Always enthralled to watch the masters at work like Ingmar Bergman, Quentin Tarantino, Akira Kurosowa, Stanely Kubrick, David Lynch, Coen Brothers, Polanski, Serge Leone, Ray, Ang Lee, etc...<BR/><BR/>I confess that I never was impressed by Indian films until just one month back, when I saw the genius's 'Deshadanakili Karayarilla'. I was SHOCKED to see such characters in Malayalam cinema. The movie touched some of the deepest chords in my heart, the music that emerged was most beautiful. I sweat and panted while watching the movie and ended up in utter dismay. Since then I have seen six movies of his and I want to buy his entire collection on DVD. I hope it is available. I am willing to chip out any amount of money to do that. <BR/><BR/>I am also going to post something on my blog about the genius as well. Thanks for writing a great article. Helped me know more about the genius.coolmalluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673106504945865333noreply@blogger.com
