MP3•Thuis aflevering

For the first series of episodes we take a look at Balaji Tharaneetharan's first 2 films (in release order) - the iconic Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom and the polarizing Seethakkaathi. @gradwolf & @anantha are joined by our recurring guest @equanimus to discuss:

- Why Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom's humor was such a draw

- Where Balaji draws his stylings from and the influence of Balu Mahendra

- How the troubles with Oru Pakka Kathai may have given rise to Seethakkaathi

- The reflexive look at the craft of cinema and the economic dynamics of the Tamil film industry in Seethakkaathi through its writing and other formal elements

- How Vijay Sethupathi has built his "actor for hire" brand through conscious supporting and guest role choices

Oru Pakka Kathai will be discussed in greater detail in part 2 of the series!
