Akale (2004)
Akale Comes Closer
Yes, Akale which means far away, once watched comes "Aduthu" (near). In other words it comes closer to the viewers heart!! A touching movie, with just enough characters, renders reality, originality, creativity and a sense of pang in the viewers heart, all at the same time!!
The time-line from the original economic depression in the US has been captured with as much authenticity as possible within Indian setting, especially using Anglo-Indian characters to suit the original theme.
I guess the Director/Storywriter realized that it would not be agreeing to an Indian audience if a co-worker is asked to be brought home, to date his own sister, by his mother and hence it was good thinking to change the culture.
I say this with no ill bearing to the Anglo-Indian community, since I went to an Anglo-Indian school and have seen dating as a common culture, even way back in the 60's and 70's!!
Well done everyone!!!
