The movie I saw during my 1 week visit in Kerala was a movie named 'Thalappavu' (something which conceals the head). To talk about the movie as a critic I felt that the plot was pretty good. But the way it was told was not so digestive for a normal viewer. The movie frequently has flashbacks and further flashbacks which I think was a deliberate attempt by the director to be flashy. The story closely follows the life of a policeman who meets a extremist who works for the Wayanad farmers. The policeman is forced to kill this extremist by a higher official and that ultimately ruins his personal life. The point I liked about the movie is that the background music has been used very carefully. The characters are great and their portrayal has been immaculate. The torture by the landlords during those times and the corrupt police officials were factors which provoked these people to be extremists.
What I was think of was the cause here. Is the extremism justified any how and if yes are the blasts in Delhi justified by any chance.

The plot is taken from real life, and the political incidents that happened during 1960's in Kerala. Naxal Varghese, as popularly known and Retd Policeman Ramachandran Nair confessed that he pulled the trigger, after 28 years. High ranked police officers were involved, and even higher ranked politicians.
Varghese, in many ways is a Che Guvera. But his recognition is pretty much due, even today.
I'm not talking about the movie, I didn't watch it; but what I heard is its more of a neo-communist movie (those five-star hotel, amusement park politics).
Who decides the right and wrong? Who judges?
I don't.
I liked in movie because it was different and straight forward. Watch it ..
