I can tell it as an engaging movie but it seems that the director lacks clarity in his perception. He has tried to convey hell a lot of messages through the film, which I found some as intriguing and some degrading the progressive thinking. He has depicted beautifully about how the aspect of devotion has changed in peoples minds. But he lacks his research in spirituality. I can understand himself as a seeker, but he should have travelled further more distance in his spiritual journey before making this film. He shouldnt have have done this movie at this point of time. Because I felt its best not to convey messages to society when you yourself is at big confusion. For example, I will share one scene among the others which I was disappointed, to cite my point. The amman asks why does a samiyar should sell shampoo or sambar powder. But that question itself is not complete. Without understanding the background of one's work, how can we pose such an absolute question. For example, you are a yogi, who is willing to share your knowledge across the globe to uplift the humanity. And you have talent in marketing and business skills. So you will naturally use your skills and whatever works in the current economy to build a stable financial ground to support your activities for reaching out to people and teach. How will it be wrong if Amazon CEO gets enlightened and if he stills continue to run the business, and if he use the profit to support his activities in the effort of reaching out to people for sharing his knowledge? If that is not wrong, then how a yogi running a business alone is wrong? Why are you trying to incapacitate the abilities of such person. This comes from the idea of a yogi should leave everything and should live in the forest. No! In the current society, ideal would be people can go on with their social life, but imagine if every one is an enlightened being! Cant you see how productive, happy, peaceful and innovative the world would be? Similarly in each messages the director is trying to convey, There is a lot to analyse. Its sad that he has not paid enough attention to the details. If you ask me , with the great power in his hands to influence the society in a big way, he should have used it in a much much better way with more research and seeking and paying attention to every single detail.
