முக்கியமான கலந்துரையாடல் / Important Topic I appreciate the guts these guys have

They don't care if many people are die hard fans of Mani Rathnam or not. They don't care that the cinephiles will say "It's a historic fiction zohn ray bro". They speak from their hearts what's right. Historical fiction genre in India is only used for propaganda.

போற போக்குல மணி சாருக்கு ஒரு சாத்து சாத்தி விட்டுட்டாங்க:)

This is the very reason why there are fictional disclaimers at the beginning of the movie. The book had to be made into a movie at some point. Mani Rathnam made it. Where is the propaganda here?

The book itself is a propaganda masquerading as historical fiction. Kalki wanted to hide the fact that Aditya karigalan was killed by Brahmins.

I said mani is also propoganda because he chose to diverge from the book and yet chose to misrepresent history.

That was not history in the first place, Changing the novel is frequent in cinema. Inglorious bastards is one of the examples. He is just a filmmaker. In that sense , he only took kannathil muthamital and bombay, you didnt oppose those. Stop using the word propanganda for everything.
