There is a word, impossible to spell, that describes the alignment of solar bodies like the planets when they all fall into place together. a similar word would describe this film. everything about it is right. all actors be it Anushka or subbaraju down to the lowest atmosphere person, are superb. the editing, the score, the sound, locations, the dialog, all are just about flawless. The photography is superb. the green tinted like film, the gardens and forest roads and Seattle weather are all painted with a faint matrix green, golden color of the film, when showing Buddha temple where subbaraju kneels to pray, when Anushka desperately stops speeding car. the spellbinding way that reveal and utterly layered mysterious story unfolds. I certainly agree. The plot is great, and thoroughly interesting and involving. The pacing, while not fast all the time, is more than acceptable. There are sequences that are really intense and exciting. The acting is great... like I said earlier....keeps our interest through interesting angles and sequences. I liked that there was often something subtle going on in the background, like a parallel storyline running while we're focusing on what's directly in front of us. you slowly notice the subtle and dark side of madhavan's character....this is one of the best films ever made, and it deserves your attention and patience.
