In this second episode of the Balaji Tharaneetharan series we discuss the recent direct to OTT release Oru Pakka Kathai. Aditya & Anantha are joined by special guests Equanimus & Milified to discuss:
– The fantastical nature of the topic and how it presents its social commentary
– What is the film trying to say about science, religion, and how both interact?
– What is the portrait it draws of the children in the film?
– Is the film pro-life? How do Balaji’s films portray women?
– Female centric films in the male gaze
– Ranking the 3 films Balaji has made thus far
A huge thanks to our guests for joining us in this engaging discussion!
