In this film, homes are an integral part of the narrative.
I have a lot of attachment to houses I have lived in Cuddalore, Devakottai, and Mylapore. It is a realistic and actual portrayal that we don’t see a lot in Tamil cinema. I love the way you have captured our houses in the film. One is searching for something she left, one is searching for another person, and one is searching for something lost. Chi chi indha pazham pulikkumnu sollikira madhuri.Īll three women in the film are searching for something in the loft… what are they searching for?Īctually, I am the one searching (laughs). Of course, sometimes, you get that realisation when you are unable to prove yourself.
The tricky thing about proving yourself is that you are expected to keep at it with every next work. Until you attain a certain maturity, you keep playing to the gallery and trying to prove yourself to others. I feel guilty that I didn’t come to this space a decade ago.
How hard was it to come to this place where you make films without any compromise? You have been making films for the past three decades. In Fukuoka, a 70-year-old lady told me, “I am a lot like Sivaranjani.” A realisation from the travels is that the problems of Sivaranjaniyum Innum Sila Pengalum are universal. An American lady shared how she lost her tennis career for her marriage, which didn’t last long anyway. In the US, it was screened in five cities. I have been travelling with the films to different countries. Tell us about the reception SISP got in other countries where it was screened during fests. You can look at it as my learnings and my eagerness to rectify mistakes. I have been guilty of actions similar to the ones of men in the film-the magnitude of my mistakes might be less. Have you experienced such guilt and regret in real life? The film invokes a sense of guilt in men because the women in the films are reflective of the ones we find in our homes. But if viewers still say SISP is faithful to the original text, that means that I have retained the soul of the original text. An adaptation, in any case, can never be exactly like the original story. There is no rule that I should faithfully adapt a novel or a story. Talk to us about the changes you made to the original story. Many adaptations of Tamil novels have made me feel, “Idhuku idha edukkaamale irundhurukalam”. It is better to leave literature alone if you can’t do justice to it. I hold writers in high esteem and want to do justice to their work. It is more time-consuming and harder to adapt a literary work than otherwise. I believe I know a bit about the cinema medium, and I love the process of converting another form of story into cinema. However, I have about 100 stories like Paayasam and SISP with me. I don’t have time to brood over Tamil cinema (laughs). Do you think Tamil cinema is missing out on stories like Payasam (Vasanth’s film in Navarasa) and Sivaranjiniyum Innum Sila Pengalum? Even those few films are of stories that are high on conflict. Seldom do we see film adaptations of Tamil literary work. It is what it is,” Vasanth says with a characteristic smile. However, just when I finally agreed to the OTT release, I saw that the theatres were reopened. I was adamant about releasing it in theatres.

These animated Christmas movies are perfect for a family movie night, capture the spirit of the season and are worthy of being re-watched year after year.The film, which premiered at the 20th Mumbai Film Festival, 2018, has taken three long years to reach the people. This goes double for stop-motion animated movies, which are a holiday tradition going back to the Rankin and Bass specials from the '60s. Since there's so much magic associated with Christmas, it's no surprise that a lot of these movies are cartoons - it's just an easy way to capture the enchantment of the holiday without relying too heavily on expensive special effects. Now, with the proliferation of streaming services, many of these classics are at your beck and call, waiting for you to watch them whenever you happen to be ready.

And children today have it even easier: When I was a kid, if you weren't in front of your TV at the right time and missed an airing of the Grinch, you had to wait another year before it rolled around again. The same holiday movies for kids that you watched during your childhood - or your parents watched when they were kids - still head to TVs every year, so you can enjoy them again and again with your family. The great thing about the best Christmas movies is how endlessly re-watchable they are.
