For the 17th episode of ‘In The End’, hosts Aditya and Srinivas pick up 1997 Telugu movie ‘Sindhooram’. Directed by Krishna Vamshi, the film earned National Award despite being a debacle at the box office. In the conversation, both of them try to look at this 90’s beauty of the movie as it stands out in every aspect from the template-driven Telugu movies of the decade. Be it the colloquial dialogues, natural performances, music and most importantly, the story –an important social subject. Srinivas says that probably Sindhooram might have been the first film in Indian cinema that shown the Naxal movement and its relationship with the government in the right light, by not taking any sides. It just shows how the movement operates, its motivations and the turns it takes owing to inescapable situations, he opined. Aditya points out Krishna Vamshi’s brilliance when it comes to the dialogues (written by KNY Pathanjali) and the native flavor that he brings on to the screen. He explains it by juxtaposing dialogues from ‘Sindhooram’ and Trivikram’s directorial ‘Attarintiki Daredi’. A lot more has been discussed in detail. Listen up!
