CS Amudhan heaps praise on ‘Kaala’ and Pa Ranjith

Superstar Rajinikanth’s much-awaited ‘Kaala’ opened to an overwhelming response from critics and audiences alike. The film, which is directed by Pa Ranjith, became a profitable venture at the box office as well.
Nearly a month after its release, director CS Amudhan, who had recently watched the film online, took to his Facebook account to praise Pa Ranjith and ‘Kaala’.
He wrote, “I watched Kaala on Amazon today...I must say I was blown away. That was an important movie. The scenes where the writing & the star’s charisma combine are electric. Make no mistake, every filmmaker pushes his agenda in his films & Ranjith truly has a noble cause to push which is All Men are Equal & that’s one that merits all the pushing.
Appreciating both Rajinikanth and Ranjith, Amudhan said, “Both the star & the filmmaker have to be equally credited for being brave enough to present this risky agenda in these times of govt propaganda driven media. Both of them could have chosen the easier route of a fan-friendly eulogising narrative, that they did not is not only commendable it’s miraculous! I remember that there was criticism of Ranjith that he put his message first in lieu of engaging the audience. I didn’t see that at all. For me, Kaala was for pure cinema with a sucker-punch to the gut.”
Meanwhile, CS Amudhan is currently basking in the success of his latest outing ‘Tamizh Padam 2’, a spoof film, that has gotten terrific response from the audience. Starring Shiva in the lead, ‘Tamizh Padam 2’ is one of the biggest hits this year.
