Tharai Thappattai (2016)

Tharai Thappatai is gross and shocking by any standard. People started walking out of the movie as though they had come in, expecting it to be a comedy movie. But the fact remains, you just can not keep Bala out of the league!!! I have seen folk dance/ karakattam and had always wondered on why it is so indecent/gross. The film not only manages to depict the life of the dancers as authentic as possible, it also gives as an idea on how these indecent content have come into the context of our Culture. Westernization is the main culprit, because when we manage to appreciate an 'Quentin Tarantino', we tend to ignore Bala. With Ilayaraja's beautiful and rousing music, movie is worth a watch #OnlyForBraveHearts#
