{mosimage}Just now watched his 'Pakal' on DVD to kill sometime till I update my iPod software. Pakal (the dawn) is a realistic movie on the backdrop of farmer suicides in Wayanad, Kerala. The movie deserved a better reception at the box office for its noble intentions. Quite consice (1:45 hrs) with an abrupt ending, 'Pakal' tells the heart wrenching tale of farmers affected by globalisation, modernisation and falling in the wicked hands of money lenders. Prithvi's honesty in portraying the role, of a TV journalist who comes to that village, is evident in every scene... esecially his helplessness while watching the protagonists crying and his dilemma to let them continue or stop the camera... He had best used his powerful assest - his eyes. Give it a try on moserbaer DVD collection (Rs. 34/-). I know that malayalees doesn't like Prithviraj much as they think he is bit 'jaada' (throwing attitude), but after seeing / reading his interviews and choice of movies, I really fell in love with Prithviraj... So much to the extent that till date by seeing any on screen hero I never felt "God wish I was like him... have a passion like him", but I couldn't resist feeling so with Prithviraj. - {oshits} reads.
