Im sorry but stumbling across Nankadaivul at the right time in ur life as a North Indian is a canon event, the only reason I think Anurag Kashyap was a genuine human for a blip of his otherwise obnoxious career. That film isn’t perfect but does something for u.

He took a lot of inspiration from Bala…the director of the film who is another psycho fellow lmao but he had a great idea and worked very hard to finish that difficult film which for a change doesn’t slack much in writing towards climax like most Tamil mainstream films do

intellectual street fighter The book from which it is adapted is now available in English translation: The Abyss by Jeyamohan (translated by Suchitra Ramachandran).
