Vishwaroopam II (Tamil, 2018)
Okay, we get it. The Tamilian diaspora has spread its tentacles to the four corners of the globe. The only problem is that the world is almost spherical and has no corners.
Everywhere one goes, much like Men at Work's 'Down Under', one is bound to see a fellow Tamilian, not just as among the blue collared strata but amongst the upper echelon of the food chain. But I sense that the moviemakers hint of a particular bias in their caste of these characters. Most, if not all of them, speak with a certain intonation and lingo specific to those in the Brahmin community! But Tamil in Afghanistan...?
We also understand that our girls, who used to be typecast as long-haired well oiled exotic beauties and hidden gems of intrigue behind their charming smile are no longer that demure and quiet one anymore. The Tamilachis have answered Bharatiyaar’s call for that modern thinking woman. They have permeated into all fields of knowledge, including defusing bombs and deep sea diving. They have learnt to groom themselves so well that they can fit into any herd. They can be mistaken for a person of Mediterranean or South American stock. Their offspring would probably be unrecognisable as the union of global citizens of all kind becomes the norm.
Yes. Tamils movies have got so big that the budget can accommodate overseas shoots, hi-tech gadgets and even underwater filming. But, surely there can be no dearth of a good story to be told. The faithful viewers of this genre flock here for its Indianess and probably some thought-provoking Indian philosophy. The industry should not morph into another mindless larger-than-life pyrotechnic frenzy display of uninspiring waste of time. We can already see that in Hollywood.
