Bhagavadajjukam: Classic Revisited
Sanskrit plays or anything written in this genre of language, is conventionally considered to be too grave. But exercising the issue of "Transmigration of soul" as it's master theme, #Bhagavadajjukam breaks down this stereotyped tag. It's a screen transformation of the original Sanskrit farce, written in the 7th century CE, sharing the same title. The director, Yadu Vijayakrishnan Parameswaran has left no key unturned to make this tough mission of projecting a vintage play, a bona fide stackholder of silver screen. The arresting cinematography, the regimented colour projection to illuminate that "current of lenient religious tint", the comic reliefs and it's free flowing visual frequency reflect the panache of the entire cinematic mission, accomplished by the director.
