We are Comali

Comali (in English : Clown) movie is not just the lesson for the 2K kids, but also to all set of people of different ages. Even 4 years old kids to 50 years old uncle/aunty is probably addicted to the dumb box mobile. This is not at all a “Movie review post”. These are solely my point of view of the movie which conveys the much needed message to the society.

Mobile is just a one medium, people are addicted to TV still now. These mobiles and the evolution of great technology took away our valuable memories related to human and socializing with others. These technological evolution also stopped the human way of thinking solutions for problems, instead we always ask it from “Google baba”.

90's & 2k kids:

Also this movie highlighted the difference of thoughts that varies for one who’s born in the 90’s and the 2K generation. The 2K generation has this whole lot following which is trending on the current date, whereas 90’s kids follows the correct one and are more humane.

Present youth which involves the diverse mix of 90’s as well as the 2K kids, changed the definitions of love, best friends which these 2K kids nonsensically replaced with besties, enjoyment, making memories and independency.

A tiny overview:

So coming back to “Comali”, it was a funny movie wholly. The necessary social message that they wanted to convey was that, “Humanity is the one emotion which makes us human and is found only when the masses are in problems”. This is my interpretation of the movie. There were much more to speak of the lessons we should learn from the movie which genuinely portrays the view of a 90’s kid, who missed the technological evolution fortunately and remained still as a child at heart.

Nostalgy:

The comedies were genuine, the schooling part of the movie was something which everyone could relate, as many of us made good memories and of course the “The First love of our Life”. The song includes some best nostalgias of scribbling in the toilets, shouting our name when our crush comes across in the corridor of our school and creating scenes in front of our crush are really best treats for 90’s kids.

Out in the playground:

This movie also conveys a strong message to the kids of this generation to not to worry about getting tanned in the sun and to play in fields rather than playing within a dumb box. I really miss those good old days, where my friends and I never missed an opportunity of playing cricket in the big ground of palace in Thanjavur.

Playing out in the scorching sun or in heavy rain never harms the children, it gives them a valuable opportunity to socialize, to learn what failure and success is, to learn how to solve some conflicts from their young age, in turn all these things will help them in the future at a wider perspective.

Friendship:

The best scene was when Yogi Babu says that he takes care of Jayam Ravi only because he is friend and not because of Jayam Ravi’s sister is married to Yogi Babu. Oh Man!!! That’s the kind of friendship our generation is practicing since our age of knowing things.

Evolution of Technology and Fear of Reality:

When Jayam Ravi speaks of the evolution and the harm it has caused, we being the victims should feel ashamed of, because whatever has happened, we let those things happen with our knowledge. We lost the opportunities to interact with people face to face, rather we tie ourselves within the mobile phones.

The fact that we are afraid of the reality and hiding behind the smartphones, which actually they’re and we are left behind as fools, totally relying on internet for every problems and totally stopped thinking and turned on our “Brain Saving mode”.

Nila Soru:

The Nila Soru (having dinner in the terrace under the sky, when the world is filled with moonlight and some chilled air) not at all happening. It is a golden time more important than the prime time of some biased news channels, when we all as a family sat together in the terrace of our house, had food which is served with love from the hands of our grandparents or parents, listening to their childhood stories, the adventure they had gone through, the hardships they faced and the lesson they learnt which we will never find it in any top institutes of the world.

Ripped dressing trend:

The ripped dressing which became the trend in the early 2018s was another thing to speak about. There used to be times when we being the kids used to not even use some casual dresses even if it is torn a bit. Now you can see 1000s of people walking down the roads wearing these kind of ripped denims and tees which costs them not less than 1500 bucks. But it’s your wish whether you need to buy a 500 range denim or tee and tear it and then wear it. LOL!!!

Spending time with Family:

I literally had tears rolling down from my eyes when there were nostalgic and emotional scenes which really persuaded me and made me to connect to it personally. We could say anything to justify the facts that we are spending less time with our family, those are not at all enough to recover from the mistake and to rewind the golden times back in this electronic and artificial intelligence era.

At least we are safe with our humanity which exists in bits. If anybody wants to speak up their mind go and speak with your mom, then friends. But make sure you do it in real and face to face.

A bit about the crew:

The debutant director, Pradeep Raghunathan has given a great treat for 90’s kids to go through a journey of nostalgic moments. Jayam Ravi has won the hearts of audience with his innocent acting and strong hard-hitting points. Yogi Babu, with his pure comedy, became the reason for laughter riots.

Songs:

The lyrics of ‘Hi sonna Podhum’, ‘Comali’, and ‘Paisa Note’u’ are penned down strikingly and given soul by the music of Hip Hop Thamizha ‘Aadhi’. ‘Oliyum oliyum’ song was exactly full of lessons to learn and especially the #ennada_panni_vechirukinga was the best part of the song being placed so well.

One Pointer:

Comali is not only a movie, it’s a visual treat of emotions of the humanely generation of 90’s kids.
