MAATHAAD MAATHAADU MALLIGE Last week, my wife and I watched the Kannada movie "Maathaad Maathaadu Mallige" (henceforth called MMM, for the sake of brevity!). The website of the movie is at http://www.mathadmathadumallige.com/ , directed by Nagathihalli Chandrashekar. He chooses current themes for his films. All his earlier movies also had the same relevance. "America America" dealt with the migration of Indian middle class to USA while "Hoomale" is a story set in Assam. The topical nature of his movies make them interesting to watch. His personal website is http://www.nagathihalli.com/films.html . The second aspect I like in his movies is the way he names his characters ! So, in "America America" there is a Bhoomika, a Shashank and a Surya. The names translate to Earth, Moon and Sun and the three characters form the eternal romantic triangle in the movie. In the dialogues of the movie there are puns around their names that fit in well i
