| 11 | Following the failure of the megabudget |
| 12 | Nammavar (1994), Sethumadhavan returned |
| 13 | to his alternative arthouse image for this film of |
| 14 | Padmaraju’s story. The folk performer Paddalu |
| 15 | (Vijay) finds himself forced into petty crime |
| 16 | when he is culturally marginalised by the TV |
| 17 | and film industries. He is reformed by Rangi |
| 18 | (Rohini), but the two are plunged further into |
| 19 | illegalities, for which Rangi’s explanations |
| 20 | become increasingly surreal as she presents |
| 21 | them to the author, the only remaining |
| 22 | sympathetic figure. |
