Grahanam (2004) - It nevers get more unbiased than this

You never come accross a movie which just has a story to tell and not th creator standing behinds the frame saying whats his take on the whole issue. Believe me, its rare. Inspite of having a strong story with a lot of scope for propoganda(better said as where the dirctor can take a stance), this is a movie with no direct motif. Debut movie from Mohana Krishna Indraganti this is about a story of a women who is accused by her husband and the society of chastity. It is not about who is right and wrong but just how circumstances leads from one thing to another. Right from the start we are shown what the movie has up its sleeves. We have a women who has more of a motherly relationship with a 14 year old kid. The scenes where the interact gives a sexual undertone to it. Yes it is not the movie but it is ourselves who feel that. A point of reflecting our own mentality? The movie harps on your incapability to take things on its face value when you need to.

And the characters in the movie are people with good reasoning skills who make the right decisions at the right time. It should be taken with a pinch of salt that I call those decisions "right". But thats the beauty of the movie. Like any good work of literature (this movie based on telugu literature work), the movie gives you ample space to think rather than being judgemental on any of the character in the movie which makes it an all-out masterpiece.
